Chapter 136 - Chapter 222-225

The playground of Class 1, Freshman Grade, at Shrek Academy.

After Zhou Yi dismissed the team, Ju Zi and Huo Yun'er, holding hands, were about to go meet up with their senior sisters.

However, as they stepped forward, a somewhat tall, blond youth blocked their path.

Seeing someone obstructing them, Ju Zi and Huo Yun'er instinctively took a step back.

The person standing before them looked at them with a complex mix of emotions and longing in his heterochromatic red and blue eyes.

"Hello, my name is Dai Yuhao. I am the White Tiger Duke—"

Before he could finish, Huo Yun'er and Ju Zi cut him off.

"We're sorry, but we don't wish to know you. Please step aside."

Huo Yun'er and Ju Zi had no desire to know or engage with the Dai Yuhao in front of them. Meanwhile, Zhang Lexuan and the other four girls, who were not far ahead, noticed their two junior sisters had fallen behind.

Looking back, they saw Xiao Yun'er and Ju Zi being blocked by Dai Yuhao.

"Orange, I just wanted to—"

But at that moment, four terrifying soul powers directly pressed down upon him.

"What do you think you're doing to our junior sisters?!"

Zhang Lexuan and the other three had two soft spots: their master and grandmaster, and their junior sisters.

Simultaneously, four soul rings rose from the feet of Zhang Lexuan and her companions—a sight that defied common sense.

Purple, Purple, Black, Black. Multiplied by four.

That's right. Under Fu Ye's training, their first soul ring was a thousand-year one, and their third soul ring had already reached the ten-thousand-year level.

It could be said that among their peers, few could withstand a single blow from them.

"Senior sister!"

"Senior sister!"

Seeing their senior sister approach, the nervous hearts of Ju Zi and Huo Yun'er immediately relaxed.

"I... I was just..."

Indeed, the second-run Huo Yuhao was also terrified by the scene before him.

With his foresight and experience as a former god, achieving a thousand-year second soul ring like Wang Dong's had been his absolute limit.

But what about these thousand-year first rings and ten-thousand-year third rings in front of him?

However, he wasn't the only one shocked. Lin Aotian, the original time traveler who had just been thinking of striking up a conversation with Zhang Lexuan, now felt a chill run down his spine.

A thousand-year first ring! A ten-thousand-year third ring! They were Soul Ancestors with four rings!

Lin Aotian felt as if the sky had fallen. Just who was the transmigrator here?!

Thinking of this, Lin Aotian felt utterly weary. Yes, he regretted it. He regretted that when his system had asked if he wanted to kill the god-level Huo Yuhao and have his soul replace Huo Yuhao's in this world to be reborn, he had pressed the confirm button.

He had originally thought he could join forces with the second-run Huo Yuhao to take down the pure and innocent God King Tang San, but now the plot had completely collapsed!

'Butterfly effect, butterfly effect! Damn butterfly effect!'

Just as he was on the verge of a breakdown, the second-run Dai Yuhao was kicked aside by Zhang Lexuan and the others, who sternly warned him never to approach their two junior sisters again.

At dusk.

In the Dessert House, located in Shrek City.

Fu Ye had been invited to bring Ye Xishui and the six girls to try the shop's newly made snacks.

However, upon arriving, Fu Ye spotted two familiar figures inside.

"Xiao Xiao, could you please stop looking at me like that? I'm a girl, just like you."

The two sitting in the dessert shop at that moment were the Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong, the half-daughter of the God King Tang San.

When they saw Fu Ye and Zhang Lexuan enter, a flicker of surprise crossed their eyes.

However, Xiao Xiao, being naturally outgoing, was completely unafraid of strangers, let alone Fu Ye, who was a teacher at the academy.

"Teacher Fu Ye, have you all come for snacks too?"

Xiao Xiao was a devoted fan of beautiful faces. The only reason she had invited Wang Dong for snacks was because of his—or rather, her—handsome appearance, even though Wang Dong was actually a girl like herself.

"Hmm? You're Xiao Xiao, right?"

He recognized her immediately, as she seemed to be the only young girl in the freshman class.

"Eh? Teacher, you know me?"

Hearing Fu Ye call her by name, Xiao Xiao's light green eyes showed a hint of surprise.

"Of course. I am a teacher at this academy, after all. Although I currently teach third-year classes, I still make a point to know the basic information about the freshmen."

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong's face flushed red.

It was then that Fu Ye turned his attention to Wang Dong.

"No need to keep pretending, little girl. Wang Dong, right? young mistress of the Haotian Sect. When you first arrived at the academy..."

Just as Fu Ye was about to continue, Wang Dong urgently stopped him.

"Stop, stop, stop! Teacher Fu Ye, I know I was wrong! Can we please not reopen old wounds?"

Wang Dong looked at Fu Ye with a pleading expression. Seeing this, Fu Ye could only smile helplessly.

"You're actually very beautiful, so why dress like this? But perhaps it's your personal preference. As long as you don't cause any trouble, I won't interfere too much."

After hearing Fu Ye's words, Wang Dong felt her brain short-circuit.

'I'm actually very beautiful? Didn't I used to just be pretending? How could he...'

However, at that moment, Fu Ye used his mental power to project a phantom image of Wang Dong without the eye disguise.

"Don't be so puzzled. Your current level of cultivation isn't enough to fool my eyes."

Now, not only Wang Dong, but also Zhang Lexuan and even Xiao Xiao saw Wang Dong's true face.

Xiao Xiao: 'Wow! What a cute girl! Is this really Wang Dong?!'

Zhang Lexuan and the other girls: 'So adorable! I just want to pinch her cheeks!'

At this point, Wang Dong immediately stepped in front of the mental projection Fu Ye had created.

"Don't look! Don't look anymore!"

Wang Dong's cheeks were burning bright red. The whole scene felt like a public humiliation to her.

"Sister Dong'er is so cute. Even in her current boyish disguise, I still really want to pinch her cheeks."

Zhang Lexuan, Xian Lin'er, and the other three immediately surrounded Wang Dong.

And so, Wang Dong was subjected to a round of cheek-pinching from all seven girls present, leaving her wailing in a mix of shame, anger, and frustration.

Especially her roommate, Xiao Xiao, who declared after her turn that she wanted to sleep in the same bed with her tonight.

After this ordeal, the light in Wang Dong's large blue eyes seemed to have dimmed by half. She leaned weakly against her chair, resembling a young lady who had just been deeply wronged by a heartless man.

Wang Dong: 'They all bullied me...'

However, her sorrowful mood was quickly soothed by two girls in cute maid outfits, and of course, by the exquisite, adorable little cakes and milkshakes they carried.

"Welcome to the Maid Dessert House~"

The next morning.

Fu Ye was lying comfortably on the shore of Sea God's Lake, resting. Being familiar with the plot, he knew exactly what was in store for today.

Lately, ever since Zhang Lexuan and her group of girls had joined Shrek, Ye Xishui had started slacking off again.

Her teaching style was very laid-back. Each semester, she would set a final benchmark based on each student's individual situation.

Anyone who failed to meet their goal was deemed insufficiently hardworking and would be expelled by her without a second thought.

After all, the insight of an Extreme Douluo was incredibly sharp. At first, Ye Xishui's students thought her method was simple—until the end of the first semester, when ten of them were expelled outright.

Fu Ye wasn't very familiar with the inner courtyard students. He had never joined the inner courtyard himself and couldn't be bothered to visit the island in the middle of the lake.

However, the inner courtyard students all seemed to know him, probably because of his striking looks.

Just then, an exclamation came from not far away.

"Wow! Wang Dong, look! Teacher Fu Ye is here too!"

Xiao Xiao's voice shattered the early morning tranquility.

It was indeed Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong, the same pair who had been at the maid dessert shop yesterday.

"Ah? Why is he here?!"

While Xiao Xiao was merely surprised, Wang Dong's reaction was one of shock and astonishment.

"Hey, Wang Dong, that's so rude! If we can come, why can't Teacher Fu Ye?"

Xiao Xiao boldly swatted Wang Dong on the rear, then dashed over toward Fu Ye.

"Ouch! Xiao Xiao, you actually hit my butt!" Feeling the sting, Wang Dong's face flushed red.

"Lululu, we're both girls, what are you so shy about?"

A moment later, Wang Dong followed the mischievous Xiao Xiao and joined Fu Ye, lying leisurely on the shore of Sea God's Lake to bask in the sun.

"Teacher Fu Ye, are you a healing-type soul master?" Xiao Xiao asked bravely from beside him. Despite Fu Ye's easygoing nature, he was still a teacher, and she couldn't help feeling a little nervous around him.

"Well, I'm not a healing-type soul master. The way I healed you was just a special application of my soul."

After all, his Dragon God Martial Soul controlled an immense amount of power, and the power of creation was merely one aspect of it.

"Huh? Really?"

Wang Dong was also surprised by Fu Ye's words. As the young mistress of the Haotian Sect, she had seen many healing-type soul masters, but none like him.

Yet he claimed his healing ability was just an alternative use of his martial soul?

"Hahaha! Of course, I'm not as limited as you might think."

As Fu Ye spoke, a bright red dot appeared in the distance.

At the same time, he sensed a hidden gaze watching them from afar.

On top of the boys' dormitory, a young man with blond hair and heterochromatic red-and-blue eyes was staring in their direction.

His eyes were filled with pain and resentment.

This was none other than Huo Yuhao or Dai Yuhao from the second round.

He was watching them now, knowing full well that to free himself from the control of the God King Tang San, he must not get involved with Wang Dong.

Did he dislike Wang Dong'er? Of course not.

In his previous life, he only realized after ascending to the Divine Realm that Tang Wutong was not Wang Dong—the person before him now was the Wang Dong'er he had longed for day and night.

Tang Wutong was nothing more than a construct born from Qiu'er and Dong'er's memories, Tang Wutong's soul, and the essence of the Golden Dragon King. His father-in-law had not hesitated to split his own daughter's soul to plunder the last remnants of the continent's fortune, making Tang Wutong a mere tool to control him.

So, no matter how much he missed Wang Dong'er now, he absolutely could not make contact with her.

Dai Yuhao clenched his fist. Although the situation on the continent had changed in this life, and he no longer had Skydream and the others, he still possessed the powerful Evil-Eyed White Tiger martial soul and his teacher, Electrolux, who had been killed by his father-in-law in his previous life.

Dai Yuhao's gaze was fixed on the Divine Realm. He knew that he and his former father-in-law were destined to meet again there.

But when that day came, they would be nothing but enemies!

Over Sea God's Lake, a fierce cloud of mist was rapidly approaching.

As it drew closer, it became clear this was no ordinary mist—it was a person!

Closer still, they could see her body radiating terrifying heat, the mist around her formed by the lake water evaporating on contact!

"Teacher Fu Ye, you can stop her, right?"

Hearing Wang Dong's question, Fu Ye smiled faintly, a hint of surprise in his expression.

This was the first time Wang Dong had addressed him as Teacher.

"Perhaps. Why? You seem nervous."

Fu Ye stretched and stood up, calmly watching the crimson figure speeding toward them. A sword box made of multicolored jade materialized beside him, glowing with a radiant, prismatic light.

Under the astonished gazes of Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, a gap opened in the sword box.

The next second, an ice-blue sword shot out from within!

Whoosh!

Instantly, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao felt the temperature around them plummet. Fu Ye caught the ice-blue sword in one hand.

"Hiss~ It's so cold..."

But in the next moment, the flame-wreathed inner courtyard student was upon them!

"Crimson Lotus Hell!"

Bzzzt!

A terrifying, extreme cold erupted from the ice sword, centered on the blue Sword.

In that instant, the flame-clad figure in inner courtyard attire was completely frozen solid.

This inner courtyard disciple was, of course, the Flame Maniac Ma Xiaotao from the original story.

Although Fu Ye had altered many things, this was still the era of SL II: The Unrivaled Tang Sect. Their God King Tang San would surely use his great power to intervene.

Clang!

The sword returned to its scabbard with a crisp ring. Then, under Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong's disbelieving stares, the multicolored jade sheath merged back into Fu Ye's body.

"Teacher Fu Ye, is this your martial soul? It feels incredibly powerful!" Xiao Xiao was the first to recover, a new suspicion forming in her mind: the Teacher Fu Ye before them must possess a twin martial soul!

"Haha, it's nothing special, not that powerful."

Just then, a young man wearing the same outer courtyard uniform as Xiao Xiao and the others came running over from another direction.

"Xiao Xiao! Wang Dong! Hurry up! Hah... hah... hah..."

He panted, trying to catch his breath, while Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao stared at him with strange expressions.

"Lin Aotian? How did you know we were here? Were you following us?!"

At this, Wang Dong's expression instantly turned icy. As a girl, nothing annoyed her more than being followed!

However, Lin Aotian paid no attention to Wang Dong's questioning at this moment. He stepped forward, intent on leading them away from this troublesome spot.

But as he approached Wang Dong and reached for her arm, a biting cold sensation startled him.

The next second.

"Oof!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Dong kicked him, sending him flying seven or eight meters away.

"Lin Aotian, just what do you think you're doing?!"

Wang Dong's expression instantly turned icy. Having witnessed Lin Aotian's attempted action, Xiao Xiao subconsciously took a step back.

After being kicked away so forcefully by Wang Dong, Lin Aotian felt somewhat dazed.

But soon, his martial soul and his Spirit Eyes forced him to calm down. When he looked around and detected the dense concentration of ice elements in front of him, along with Fu Ye standing beside Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, his mind short-circuited once again.

Staring at the figure in the red dress and mask now lying within the extreme cold, he was absolutely certain—it was Ma Xiaotao, the inner courtyard's Flame Maniac!

Just looking at the current situation...

When he finally regained his senses, he found Wang Dong looking at him with undisguised disgust in her eyes.

"Alright, calm down, little girl. I believe your classmate Lin Aotian didn't mean any harm."

Fu Ye casually placed his hand on Wang Dong's head and gave it a couple of gentle rubs. Surprisingly, the usually headstrong Wang Dong actually listened to him for once.

"Fine. I'll give Teacher Fu Ye some face today."

As she said this, she turned her gaze back to Lin Aotian.

"You can just get lost now!"

Before anyone knew it, three months had passed.

However, ever since the reveal of his Ultimate Ice, the old-timers in the Sea God's Pavilion had taken a liking to frequently dragging him to the inner courtyard for tea.

Shrek Inner Courtyard, beside Sea God's Lake.

As usual, Fu Ye was comfortably lying on a lounge chair woven from the branches of the Tree of Life, basking in the sun.

Lying on a similar chair beside him was Yu Longyue, the Dean of the Outer Court.

"Teacher Fu Ye, are you truly not considering advancing your studies in the inner courtyard? You must know that the benefits for our inner courtyard teachers are far superior to those in the outer courtyard..."

Before he could finish, Fu Ye interrupted him.

"Hey~ Dean, I have no great ambitions. Now that I've worked hard to cultivate to the level of a Titled Douluo, shouldn't I be enjoying myself?"

He rolled his eyes at Yu Longyue. The more Fu Ye looked at him, the more Yu Longyue reminded him of a younger Long Xiaoyao.

"Ah, that's where you're wrong. You should know—"

Just as Yu Longyue was about to continue extolling the benefits of cultivation, a figure in red quietly appeared behind them.

"Teacher, Brother Fu Ye."

Hearing this familiar voice, Yu Longyue stopped his attempted persuasion of Fu Ye.

"Hmm? It's Xiao Tao. How has your training been going recently?"

Fu Ye also turned to look at Ma Xiaotao, but he could tell at a single glance that something was amiss.

"Teacher, with Brother Fu Ye's help, my training speed has been very fast recently. I'm only a single step away from breaking through to the Soul Saint level."

A trace of pride curled at the corner of Ma Xiaotao's lips as she said this, but her expression soon fell. "It's just that..."

Before she could finish, Fu Ye cut in.

"It's just that your martial soul's flames were suppressed by the Ultimate Ice, causing the dark elements within your martial soul to become restless. Now, the flames in your martial soul are having difficulty suppressing that dark power. Am I right?"

Fu Ye's tone was firm, yet his expression remained calm.

Ma Xiaotao was stunned upon hearing his words. What he said was absolutely correct. She had come here today precisely to seek a solution to this problem.

"What? The dark power in your martial soul is counter-attacking your flames?!"

Upon hearing this, a flicker of nervousness appeared in Yu Longyue's eyes. After all, the martial soul was the most crucial part of a soul master's body. If something went wrong with it, the consequences would be disastrous!

"That's right, teacher. I just discovered it after finishing my cultivation today. Now, it's not much weaker than the flame in my body. I'm afraid if I continue cultivating..."

At this point, Ma Xiaotao's expression turned somewhat lost. She never expected her martial soul to harbor such an issue.

But at that moment, Fu Ye spoke up to reassure her.

"It's fine. I can help you extract some of the Ultimate Ice that was injected into your body. For you, both the dark element and the fire element are your own inherent powers."

"As long as you can hold fast to your original intent, it won't negatively affect you."

Having said that, Fu Ye added, "After all, one of my own disciples possesses an Evil Fire Phoenix martial soul. If a twelve-year-old girl can withstand it, I'm certain you can do the same."

Shrek Outer Court, Mobilization Meeting for the Freshman Assessment Class 1.

Zhou Yi looked at the talented students in her class, feeling she had never commanded such an abundant roster before!

Four high-level Soul Ancestors, two Soul Ancestors, one Soul Elder, two Soul Grandmasters, plus the other regular students.

To be honest, just fielding two Soul Ancestors would be a crushing advantage against most opponents.

Without needing to say much more, the championship for this year's freshman assessment was definitely theirs. The only question was how to divide the teams.

"Huo Yun'er, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, the three of you will form a team."

"Dai Yuhao, Lin Aotian, Orange, the three of you will form a team."

In the subsequent groupings, Zhou Yi organized the teams into balanced compositions of strong assault, agile assault, control, and support types.

There was nothing wrong with Zhou Yi's plan; all teams were a mix of strong attack, control, and support roles.

After school, almost all the team members gathered to discuss tactics. However, the fortunate students chosen to be on Zhang Lexuan's team grew even more nervous.

They were acutely aware of the gap between themselves and the top students, so they had to perform exceptionally well!

The freshman assessment wasn't solely about the final ranking; it placed greater emphasis on their performance in battle.

If they constantly hid under the protection of the stronger members and didn't actively participate in combat, they would still be eliminated even if their team achieved a high score.

Meanwhile, Lin Aotian sought out Dai Yuhao, only to find him staring intently at Orange, who was talking and laughing with Zhang Lexuan and the others.

At that moment, Feng Ling walked towards him and Lin Aotian, accompanied by Orange.

Looking at Feng Ling—who in his previous life had been the wife of the Holy Spirit Church's leader—Dai Yuhao couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow at the unpredictability of fate.

He never expected that, even in his second life, he would be no match for these true geniuses.

A twelve-year-old Soul Ancestor at the 48th level was something he couldn't have even imagined, despite having become a god in his previous life.

Just at that moment, Fu Ye's figure quietly materialized beside them.

Feng Ling and Ju Zi spotted Fu Ye appearing before them and immediately ran over.

"Brother Fu Ye!!"

Feng Ling was the girl closest to Fu Ye. Although she could be a bit headstrong at times, in her heart, she truly adored sticking close to him.

"Brother Fu Ye!"

Ju Zi, was a step slower, but she too quickly made her way to Fu Ye's side.

"Alright, alright, you're both so grown up, yet you're still this clingy. Shouldn't you be a little embarrassed?"

Fu Ye patted the two girls' heads. Seeing their big brother Fu Ye return, Zhang Lexuan and the others, who had been standing not far away, also gathered around.

After comforting everyone, Fu Ye finally found a moment to turn his attention to Dai Yuhao and Lin Aotian.

"You're Little Ju Zi's teammates for the freshman assessment?" Fu Ye asked, looking at Lin Aotian and Dai Yuhao with a slightly puzzled expression.

"Yes! That's right, teacher. My name is Dai Yuhao, his name is Lin Aotian, and we are both Ju Zi's teammates," Dai Yuhao replied promptly.

However, Fu Ye seemed to ignore his words, instead scrutinizing him and Lin Aotian up and down.

"The quality of your martial souls isn't bad, but the soul power within your bodies is noticeably a bit weak. It's likely caused by long-term consumption of spiritual treasures that haven't been fully digested yet."

After observing Dai Yuhao for a moment, this was Fu Ye's initial assessment of him.

Upon hearing Fu Ye's words, Dai Yuhao's pupils contracted sharply. 'He could discern the state of my body with just a single glance?!'

Then, Fu Ye shifted his gaze to Lin Aotian. The latter, however, looked back at Fu Ye with a hint of pride, as if to say, 'Go on, take a look. What can you, a douluo native, possibly see?'

"Your soul power foundation is quite solid, much better than Dai Yuhao's. But your martial soul... is quite intriguing."

"Although it's the same Spirit Eyes martial soul as Yun'er's, it carries a trace of divine essence. If my guess is correct, your martial soul may have touched the threshold of the divine. But that shouldn't be possible, right? According to ancient texts, a divine martial soul can only be bestowed by the gods, yet you..."

At this point, Fu Ye looked Lin Aotian over once more.

However, Lin Aotian was now in a state of panic!

'What the hell! You call this a douluo native?!'

The confidence Lin Aotian had felt earlier vanished, replaced by a feeling that Fu Ye had seen right through him, down to his very bones.

'Damn it! According to ancient texts?!'

Fu Ye naturally noticed the change in his expression and could barely hold back his laughter.

'You little rascal, I'll scare you to death!'

"Your martial soul is very special. It somewhat resembles the third golden awakening of the original Spirit Eyes, but not as potent."

Having said this, Fu Ye stopped his speculation. Lin Aotian's back was already drenched in a cold sweat.

He was now utterly convinced that this teacher named Fu Ye was definitely no ordinary instructor at Shrek Academy!

For some reason, he felt an inexplicable unease standing before this man, as if his life and death were entirely in the other's hands.

"The two of you had better not hold Little Ju Zi back. Otherwise, even if you have backers, I can make your lives at Shrek Academy very difficult."

As he spoke, Fu Ye revealed a smile befitting a classic villain.

"Yes, teacher!"

At this moment, Dai Yuhao felt genuine admiration for this teacher he had never met in his previous life. Now that the dean of the Outer Court had been replaced, changing a couple of teachers didn't seem strange to him.

That evening, in the boys' dormitory, Room 201.

Lin Aotian tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Finally, he began questioning the system in his mind.

"System, how accurate was Fu Ye's guess about my martial soul today?"

[Ding! Ninety-nine percent.]

[The host's martial soul is named the Divine Charm Spirit Eyes. It is a pseudo-divine level martial soul from the novice gift package; a top-tier version of the ordinary Spirit Eyes, equivalent to the ultimate Douluo level achieved after the third golden awakening and the comprehension of Divine Charm.]

[However, the host's current strength is too low to utilize the full power of the Divine Charm Spirit Eyes, which is why the other party perceived the host's martial soul as less potent.]

After hearing the system's explanation, Lin Aotian was completely convinced. But along with conviction came an even greater fear of the unknown.

'How terrifying! This teacher named Fu Ye is truly terrifying!'

He had originally thought that his martial soul, a gift from the system, was a unique entity that shouldn't exist on this continent.

He never expected the other party to deduce the details of his martial soul so precisely!

"System, can you check Fu Ye's information for me now?"

[Ding! Querying...]

[Name: Fu Ye]

[Gender: Male]

[Age: ???]

[Martial Soul: ???]

[Identity: ???]

[Background: ???]

Seeing this, Lin Aotian's heart finally sank completely.

This time, aside from confirming the other party was male, even his identity as a teacher at Shrek's Outer Court remained hidden!

But soon, he thought of something else.

"System, check the information for Zhang Lexuan and the others!"

[Ding! Querying information...]

[Name: Zhang Lexuan]

[Gender: Female]

[Martial Soul: ???]

[Soul Power: ???]

[Identity: ???]

[Background: ???]

All question marks! Except for name and gender, everything else was a series of question marks!

"System, I'm so tired and I feel awful."

[Ding! Drink more hot water.]

"Damn you #@#@¥#!"

The next day, Freshman Assessment.

"Team One: Dai Yuhao, Lin Aotian, Ju Zi. Versus Team Three: Wang Tianba, Li Lianjie, Dugu Shibai."

"Begin the match!"

Following the referee's command, Lin Aotian, forced into action, fought with prominent dark circles under his eyes.

His first soul ring was a God-bestowed soul ring, containing two skills in one ring: Mental Detection and Vision Sharing, just like Huo Yuhao in the original story.

Sensing this familiar ability, Dai Yuhao's pupils constricted sharply. Ju Zi, however, was already accustomed to it, as her good sister Huo Yun'er also possessed this soul skill.

"Third Soul Skill, Orange Storm!"

Ju Zi was just a twelve-year-old girl. What bad intentions could she possibly have?

She merely revealed the four soul rings on her back, stunning her opponents into a daze.

That's right—two purple and two black! A thousand-year first ring and a ten-thousand-year third ring!

Wang Tianba: "Oh my god! Is this for real?"

Li Lianjie: "Honestly, don't let her weak appearance fool you. I feel like she could knock me out with one punch."

Dugu Shibai: "Well, I'll be... My name, Dugu Shibai (Lone Defeat), really fits. Another failure."

However, when they braced themselves for the pain of defeat, they found that being hit by the oranges didn't hurt much!

"Hey, I just heard she's a Food System soul master, and her martial soul is an orange."

"Dammit, we've been tricked! Let's get them—"

But before they could finish their sentence, the oranges surrounding them suddenly erupted with terrifying energy fluctuations.
