"No, it's not like that..."
Ah Yin murmured softly, unsure how to refute Su Cheng.
Only the scenes from the past flashed repeatedly in her mind.
Su Cheng was right about one thing: she hadn't seen much of the world.
Since birth, the first people she knew were Tang Xiao and Tang Hao.
Everything that happened afterward was a shared experience with the Tang brothers.
Throughout this process, as the third sister, she had always passively accepted their guidance.
As the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor in human form, Ah Yin was gentle and indifferent by nature, not the type to enjoy crowds, and rarely interacted with others.
Everything she experienced in the human world was from an outsider's perspective.
She thought she understood a lot, but in reality, she had never personally experienced what it was like to interact with others, or how complex and changeable human nature was.
It wasn't until her final battle that she truly encountered the evil of human nature.
"Alright, I've said what I needed to say. Think about the rest yourself; there's plenty of time later."
Su Cheng glanced at Ah Yin.
Since she merged with the Longevity Sword, her overall condition has improved considerably.
At least in front of him, even without the True Sight Eye's real vision, he could clearly see her presence, though she still couldn't manifest in a physical soul form. However, she was being slowly nurtured.
This wasn't necessarily a bad thing; otherwise, Su Cheng wouldn't have dared to summon her so easily.
Furthermore, this process wasn't just beneficial to her; the Longevity Sword was also improving in sync with her.
Although the progress was slow, it was better than nothing.
"Wait, maybe I can observe more information about her now..."
With a thought, Su Cheng slowly channeled his somewhat restored spiritual energy into the soul bone between his eyebrows.
As specks of golden light appeared, the scene before his eyes changed.
Everything irrelevant gradually faded, leaving only Ah Yin's stunning beauty occupying most of his vision.
As his gaze deepened,
Ah Yin's image indeed changed further.
Her elegant, conservative blue-gold palace dress gradually disappeared from his sight.
Beneath the dress, her fair and delicate body was presented to Su Cheng without any concealment.
Her slender waist stretched out, her long legs straight and joined together without a single gap.
A pair of jade-like arms hung naturally at her sides, her long, white fingers gently curled.
The contrast between the snow-white and pale pink of her chest was striking, like a plum blossom blooming in the snow, standing gracefully on a branch.
Even the unique blue-gold fur below was clearly visible.
The breathtakingly beautiful scene before him, like a painting, momentarily stunned Su Cheng.
He quickly suppressed his distracting thoughts and poured more spiritual energy into his True Sight Eye, wanting to continue probing the essence of the Blue Silver Emperor's soul.
However, he encountered a significant obstacle, making it difficult to advance his perception further.
It wasn't because his spiritual energy was insufficient.
Rather, it was because a strong sense of resistance emanated from the other party, preventing him from breaking through that barrier.
Su Cheng quickly realized that it was likely because his spiritual energy had been exhausted earlier, or because he hadn't fully controlled the other party's autonomy.
Seeing that he couldn't observe further, he didn't force it and slowly withdrew his spiritual energy.
However, he couldn't resist taking one last look at that fair and soft body before withdrawing his gaze from his previous view.
When he looked away, he found Ah Yin glaring at him with a
face flushed red, as if about to bleed.
Clearly, she hadn't been unaware of what had just happened.
"You shameless!" Ah Yin's chest heaved slightly, her lips trembling slightly. "How can you have such lewd thoughts at such a young age!"
Su Cheng's face remained expressionless, but he felt slightly embarrassed.
He hadn't initially intended anything like that; he simply wanted to use this opportunity to see if he could further understand the principles behind her unique form of existence.
He hadn't expected to stumble upon such things.
After a moment's thought, he hesitated, opening his mouth to offer an explanation.
"I—"
"What 'I'! I really misjudged you. I thought you were calm and composed, and spoke clearly and logically. I thought you were different from ordinary humans! I didn't expect you to be so filthy in thought and so despicable in behavior!"
Seeing this, Su Cheng shut his mouth and remained silent, letting the other person vent their emotions.
Anyway, he hadn't suffered any loss.
Besides, Ah Yin's vocabulary was extremely limited, and she only used a few words over and over again, so it didn't really have much of a threat to him.
Shrek Academy.
After breakfast, several students came to the academy's small square as the bell rang on time.
Although the semester hadn't been long, the new students were already quite familiar with
each other. Especially after the hunting of soul beasts a few days ago, Tang San, Oscar, and Xiao Wu's advancement, Tang San obtaining an external soul bone, and the Titan Giant Ape's attack, they all knew each other quite well.
However, amidst this familiarity, a subtle atmosphere quietly permeated the air, and there seemed to be some distance between them.
Especially after witnessing Tang San's "hidden weapons," Zhu Zhuqing, though outwardly silent, grew increasingly wary of him.
Such abilities were clearly beyond the capabilities of someone Tang San's age.
In her view, Tang San, like herself, likely had connections to other forces.
However, aside from Tang San and Xiao Wu, who was always clinging to him, the others were easy to control.
Besides the students, the teachers were already gathered in the square.
Zhu Zhuqing noticed that besides the deans, vice-deans, and several teachers, there was an unfamiliar face present.
Judging by his rank, his cultivation seemed lower than hers.
At this moment, Flander approached the students, his gaze sweeping over the six of them in turn. "Alright, everyone's here. Now I have something to announce."
Having said that, he walked to the side of the middle-aged man with a weak aura and put his arm around the man's shoulder.
"Sir, let me introduce you all in detail.
He is Yu Xiaogang, the one who, through his own research, derived the Ten Competitive Advantages of Martial Souls, and is hailed as the strongest in Martial Soul theory, the most intelligent Soul Master, and also Tang San's teacher.
"Of course, he is also my old brother; we have known each other for decades. Perhaps you are not familiar with his name, but I think you should have heard of his title. From now on, you can just call him Master."
Upon hearing the word "Master," everyone's expressions varied. Zhu Zhuqing seemed to realize something; she knew of this person before and had even read his works.
However, having cultivated the Nirvana Sutra for a long time, she really didn't think that the so-called "Ten Competitive Advantages of Martial Souls" was anything special.
Flander didn't notice the expressions of the students below and continued speaking to himself.
"From today onwards, your instruction will be entirely under the Master's responsibility, and we will all cooperate with him.
You all just returned yesterday, and I imagine you're all quite tired. So, I'll give you a day off today, and classes will resume tomorrow.
During this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest, three more people reached the Soul Venerable realm. Ma Hongjun, you'd better work hard and try to catch up with the others as soon as possible."
He then looked at Yu Xiaogang, "Xiaogang, do you have anything to say?"
Yu Xiaogang nodded, his stiff face as always, calmly looking at the students before him, his eyes filled with confidence.
"The academy only has six students, and in my view, you are a whole unit. I have already reviewed your resumes, and I will develop some targeted teaching methods. Besides cooperation, I don't want to hear any dissenting voices.
"No matter who it is, I will treat them all equally. Since you are students of Monster Academy, you must be more 'monster' than ordinary Soul Masters. From now on, everyone will only think of the word 'monster' when they mention you.
"From now on, the six of you will no longer be divided into initial and advanced groups as before; you will receive unified instruction."
"I'll arrange you according to age: Number one, Dai Mubai; Number two, Oscar; Number three, Tang San; Number four, Ma Hongjun; Number five, Xiao Wu; Number six, Zhu Zhuqing."
Grandmaster's gaze swept over everyone. "Alright, you can disperse now. Meet here tomorrow morning. Also, I don't want anyone absent from breakfast. Otherwise, you'll receive special training."
After announcing this, they quickly left.
Watching the teachers depart, Oscar first glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, and after receiving a signal from her, he walked to Tang San's side and whispered, "Little San, it seems your teacher is even more formidable than Dean Flander!"
Tang San smiled slightly and said, "My teacher is always meticulous. As long as you strictly follow his instructions, there will never be any problems."
He had naturally noticed the exchange of glances between Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing earlier, but he didn't care.
With Grandmaster's guidance, he believed his strength would quickly surpass everyone present, making him the true leader of the team.
The next morning, the Shrek Academy students gathered again in the small square.
Yu Xiaogang looked at the students before him and said in a deep voice, "I have learned about your respective martial souls and abilities. From today onwards, I will begin intensive training for you. Dai Mubai, step forward."
Dai Mubai stepped forward, his expression serious.
He had always held the teachers at Shrek Academy in the highest esteem and trusted their instructions implicitly.
Zhu Zhuqing was well aware of this, so she had never spoken ill of the academy's teachers in front of him.
Yu Xiaogang looked at the tall Dai Mubai and said, "I'm giving you a task. From now on, without injuring them, defeat the other five one by one."
"Huh?" Dai Mubai was stunned, looking at him in surprise.
Yu Xiaogang frowned slightly, "You have level 37 soul power, and their highest is only level 33. Is there a problem?"
Dai Mubai turned his head, his eyes flashing as he looked at Zhu Zhuqing and Tang San.
As for Zhu Zhuqing, even if he could defeat her, he really didn't want to fight her.
Tang San's strength also made him uncertain. In the Star Dou Great Forest, he had already witnessed the incredible power of the opponent's hidden weapons.
"Tang San, step forward." Grandmaster's voice rang out again.
Tang San immediately stepped forward and stood beside Dai Mubai.
Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San and said, "You must not use your special weapons. You can begin."
The match between the two did not last long. Dai Mubai was bound by Tang San's third soul skill, which enhanced his Blue Silver Grass martial soul, and lost the battle.
Yu Xiaogang walked up to the two and looked at the frustrated Dai Mubai.
"Every soul master has their own strengths and weaknesses. It's normal for a power-type soul master to be countered by a control-type soul master. There are no perfect soul masters in this world, but there are perfect teams.
"An individual's strength cannot reach absolute power, but a team, with tacit cooperation, can achieve perfection. By complementing each other's abilities, they are enough to face enemies of any attribute."
"You are a team. When facing an enemy together, your first priority is to compensate for each other's weaknesses and fully utilize everyone's strengths. Then, you will become invincible among your peers."
After saying this, the battles between the others began one after another.
After a round of battles,
apart from Zhu Zhuqing, who won all three battles against Dai Mubai, Tang San, and even the Oscar and Ma Hongjun combination, everyone else had their wins and losses.
As the battles ended, Yu Xiaogang's face was slightly gloomy.
"Is this what you call monster geniuses? Your performance today has disappointed me greatly. Everyone has made unforgivable mistakes.
"Now, you will all be punished. Run forward, supervise each other, and do not use your soul power. Run from the academy to Soto City and back. I require you to complete ten rounds before lunch. You will eat when you finish.
"Tang San, your mistake is the most serious, so you will run twelve rounds. Move out immediately, begin."
Tang San was the first to run out. Yu Xiaogang's words were no different from orders to him.
Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun quickly followed.
"There are rocks prepared at the academy gate. Each of you carry one and run with the weight. Remember, you are a team. If even one person fails the punishment, then no one will eat."
Just as they started, Yu Xiaogang emphasized again.
Watching Tang San and the other four run off, Zhu Zhuqing remained expressionless, her brows furrowed in thought.
"Why aren't you running?"
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang's cold voice rang out.
This was clearly directed at Zhu Zhuqing, who hadn't yet moved.
"Why should I run?"
Zhu Zhuqing asked, somewhat surprised, looking up at him.
"What I just said was that you all should be punished."
"I won."
Yu Xiaogang said calmly, "I ask you, what are they to you?"
"Classmates."
"There's a saying, 'Sharing joys and sorrows,' have you heard it? You are companions. If you want to be partners you can entrust your back to, do you think you should watch them be punished while you rest?"
"Of course, that's the punishment they deserve, but I won, so of course I can rest." Zhu Zhuqing said calmly, "If you want everyone to be implicated, you should have made it clear beforehand. Have you ever heard the saying, 'To kill without teaching is cruelty'?"
"…" Yu Xiaogang's expression grew increasingly gloomy.
Hearing the commotion, the others also stopped and turned to look.
Dai Mubai looked anxious, not wanting a conflict to break out between Zhu Zhuqing and the academy teacher.
Ma Hongjun was somewhat curious, while secretly giving a thumbs up to his newly recognized leader.
Oscar looked thoughtful, seemingly lost in thought.
Tang San frowned. To him, the Grandmaster was like a father, and Zhu Zhuqing's disobedience made him very uncomfortable.
Only Xiao Wu seemed indifferent.
After a moment of silence, Yu Xiaogang spoke again, "Since the academy appointed me as your teacher, you shouldn't disobey my orders."
"So this is your method of education? I've seen it all. Without reason, you resort to force. It seems that's all you're capable of."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded, her face calm.
"Dean Flander has the cultivation of a Soul Saint, he's my senior on the path of cultivation, so it's no problem for him to listen to me.
" "Then may I ask this 'master,' with your Soul Power cultivation not even reaching level 30, what gives you the right? Just the title of 'academy teacher'?
"You didn't even explain the rules clearly before, yet now you want me, a student who hasn't done anything wrong, to be punished along with you? You think you're right?"
The others stared blankly at Zhu Zhuqing's words and actions, all gasping inwardly.
They weren't very old, and not spoiled children; they'd never seen anyone directly confront a teacher like this.
Zhu Zhuqing, however, wasn't flustered at all; in fact, she almost laughed.
She'd been thinking about how to "skip class," even using this guy, whom the dean had so highly praised, to establish her own authority, but he'd actually handed her the target.
She stayed in the academy for Dai Mubai's White Tiger Martial Soul, and didn't want to waste her time like this.
Running with stones on her back was too stupid; she'd rather use that time to cultivate the Nirvana Sutra.
As for Flander and his group, Zhu Zhuqing wasn't worried.
Over the past few days, she had gained some understanding of the academy's teachers; as long as they were on her side, this kind of reasoned persuasion wouldn't anger them.
She wasn't being unreasonable; everything she said was logical and well-founded.
"In my opinion, you can't teach me."
Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Zhu Zhuqing continued, "How about this, 'Master'? I'll give you three months to prove yourself. After three months, if you can make Tang San defeat me, or any one of them defeat me, I'll listen to your teachings, even if it's with his strange weapons."
At this moment, Flander, who had silently appeared beside Yu Xiaogang, was somewhat stunned by her words.
He originally wanted to say something to smooth things over, but after glancing at the gloomy-faced Yu Xiaogang beside him, he remained silent.
Another day of writing 10,000 words.
