Chapter 4 Xiao Wu Takes the Initiative! Tang San is Furious!
Ning Rongrong was completely attracted by Su Bai's power.
She was born into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and had seen countless geniuses.
She had never heard of anyone like Su Bai, who was level 35 at the age of 12 and possessed such an outrageous soul ring configuration and martial soul.
"This guy... is a monster, isn't he?" Ning Rongrong muttered to herself.
Ning Rongrong thought to herself that if she could win over such a person to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it would be an immense help to the sect.
Zhu Zhuqing stood behind Ning Rongrong without saying a word.
Her usually cold and aloof face was now showing signs of shock.
She traveled thousands of miles from the Star Luo Empire to find a way to counter the pressure from Davis and find a glimmer of hope.
Dai Mubai was her nominal fiancé, but his power and depravity left her with no hope.
But now, Su Bai has appeared.
He easily defeated Dai Mubai with overwhelming force.
The power within him was exactly what Zhu Zhuqing had been longing for.
Perhaps... he is my only hope.
Admissions officer Li Yusong was the first to react. He rushed to the wall and checked Dai Mubai's breath.
They breathed a sigh of relief when they found out that she had only fainted and was not in any life-threatening danger.
Li Yusong stood up, and his expression towards Su Bai became incredibly complex, completely devoid of his previous arrogance.
This is a true prodigy.
Shrek Academy boasts that it only accepts monsters, but this boy in front of us is a monster among monsters.
Su Bai casually brushed off non-existent dust from his hands and walked straight toward Li Yusong.
"Now, I should be considered to have passed all the tests, right?"
Li Yusong opened his mouth, but it took him a while to find his voice.
"It's...it's passed. Of course it's passed."
Are you kidding me? If we don't accept a student like that, Dean Flander will skin him alive when he gets back.
"Does what he said still stand?"
Su Bai pointed to Dai Mubai, who was lying unconscious on the ground.
"From now on, I'll be the boss at Shrek Academy."
Li Yusong's face twitched.
Although the bet was outrageous, it was made by Dai Mubai himself in front of so many people, so as a teacher, he couldn't go back on his word.
"It…it counts." Li Yusong nodded with difficulty.
"very good."
Su Bai was very satisfied with the result.
He stood still, not moving to the shady spot. He simply gazed calmly in the direction of Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing.
His expression was calm, but he knew in his heart that the auspicious aura he deliberately exuded had already left a mark on their hearts.
Xiao Wu felt that close attraction and glanced back at Su Bai.
Her voice sounded somewhat perfunctory when she spoke to Tang San.
Ning Rongrong searched for Su Bai's figure in the crowd, her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul still trembling faintly.
Zhu Zhuqing simply looked away, but she knew that the turmoil in her heart had not subsided.
Tang San took in Xiao Wu's every move.
He noticed Xiao Wu's nonchalant attitude during their conversation and felt displeased.
He saw Xiao Wu turn her head again, and although it was just a slight movement, it made him feel that something had slipped out of his control.
In his eyes, Xiao Wu was someone he had protected since childhood. Now, Xiao Wu's attention was being drawn to that man, which made him uncomfortable.
"Xiao Wu, what are you looking at?" Tang San's voice was low, with a hint of questioning.
Xiao Wu looked away and turned to Tang San, saying, "It's nothing, Third Brother. I just think that person is a bit strange."
She didn't offer any further explanation.
Tang San's brows furrowed slightly.
He didn't want to ask any more questions because he knew that once Xiao Wu made up her mind, she wouldn't easily change it.
But his resentment was growing.
There were quite a few people queuing up to register.
Dai Mubai was helped to the side to rest by Li Yusong and several other students.
He wasn't fully awake yet, only occasionally letting out a few muffled groans.
The registration process proceeded smoothly, and despite the huge sensation caused by the previous competition, Li Yusong's efficiency was not reduced.
People came forward to sign up one after another, but none of them caused much of a stir.
Their soul power level and age could not meet Shrek Academy's almost stringent requirements.
Li Yusong rejected them one by one, without any emotion.
Finally, after a long while, only Tang San, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong successfully passed the first test.
Their talent truly surprised even Li Yusong.
The afternoon sunlight gradually softened, and the crowd thinned out considerably.
Dai Mubai was only fully awake at this point. His head was throbbing, and his body was aching all over.
Recalling what had happened, anger appeared on his face.
He suffered a crushing defeat, and in front of Zhu Zhuqing no less.
This made him feel ashamed.
Dai Mubai looked around and quickly located Su Bai's position. Su Bai was still standing in the same spot, seemingly waiting for something.
Xiao Wu finally reached the front of the line.
She reported her martial soul and soul power to Li Yusong, and after confirming that it was approved, she did not rush to follow Tang San, but went straight to Su Bai.
Tang San stiffened for a moment when he saw Xiao Wu's actions.
He had thought that Xiao Wu would come to his side and that they would then proceed to the next level together.
Xiao Wu walked to Su Bai's side, tilted her head slightly, and asked in a very soft voice:
"You...you felt me?"
Xiao Wu's voice was very low, and only Su Bai could hear it.
This statement carries a meaning that only soul beasts can understand.
Su Bai glanced at Xiao Wu, then raised his voice slightly. He did not answer Xiao Wu immediately.
He glanced into the distance; Tang San's muscles were tense, his attention completely focused on them.
Su Bai's lips curled into a mocking smile, and then he said to Xiao Wu:
"Of course. You can come find me tonight."
Su Bai's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but it was loud enough for some people who hadn't gone far to hear.
Su Bai knew that Tang San, in particular, would hear everything clearly.
Just then, a system notification sounded in Su Bai's mind.
[Ding! Xiao Wu's affection level +25, current affection level 25 points!]
[Reward: Affection Chest x1]
Su Bai was in a good mood.
Everything is proceeding according to his plan.
Xiao Wu's cheeks flushed slightly.
She was a little shy, but not at all averse to it. She hadn't expected Su Bai to be so direct.
Xiao Wu was curious about the aura emanating from Su Bai and wanted to explore it further. Xiao Wu was certain that Su Bai was the legendary auspicious beast, and no one but an auspicious beast could possess such a lucky aura.
Tang San's body was trembling; he heard it clearly.
This guy named Su Bai actually dared to say such things to Xiao Wu right in front of me.
Moreover, Xiao Wu's reaction was unfamiliar to him. Xiao Wu had always been an innocent and carefree girl, but at this moment, a shy expression appeared on her face.
Tang San's eyes were bloodshot, and he was panting heavily. He wanted to rush over and give Su Bai a good beating.
