Chapter 32: Winning Over Little Brothers

"Shrek Seven Monsters?" the two asked in unison.

"Well, I'll secretly tell you a secret: after we pass the promotion assessment, the academy will summon all Core Disciples from years one to four to participate in a grand melee."

The seven who remain will become the next generation of Shrek Seven Monsters.

"I came to find you precisely because I want to cooperate with you; after all, with your strength, it's still quite difficult to survive."

Su Yun Tian spoke everything he had in mind.

"Are you telling the truth?" Lan Susu eyed Su Yun Tian suspiciously and asked.

"I think I have no need to deceive you." Su Yun Tian spread his hands, giving a bitter smile.

The two exchanged a glance, and Lan Luoluo whispered something into Lan Susu's ear.

"Alright, I can agree to that." Becoming one of the Shrek Seven Monsters is something every trainee dreams of, so naturally they wouldn't refuse.

Moreover, what Su Yun Tian said is correct; with their soul power level, surviving would be difficult, but following Su Yun Tian still offers a chance.

Having experienced a battle, they clearly knew how terrifying Su Yun Tian's strength was.

"Well, you're smart; let's meet in a few days. I still need to go find Ning Tian." Su Yun Tian said.

"Ning Tian? I just saw her on East Street; you can go check there." Lan Susu reminded.

"Okay, thanks." Su Yun Tian gave a slight smile and hurried toward East Street.

Shilaike City, East Street.

Ning Tian and Wu Feng walked together, occasionally entering and exiting the nearby shops; whenever they saw something they liked, they didn't ask the price and just had it packed up.

It fully displayed the affluence of the young master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, perfectly exemplifying what a little rich lady is.

By the time Su Yun Tian arrived, the two had just walked out of a shop.

Seeing this, Su Yun Tian strode forward and blocked the two.

"Su Yun Tian?" Ning Tian blinked slightly upon seeing the arrival.

She knew Su Yun Tian and paid close attention to him, after all, as a Support Class soul master, she admired strength.

Su Yun Tian matched her criteria for a partner, but due to a grudge from ten thousand years ago, she still couldn't make up her mind.

"Ning Tian, there's something I want to discuss with you; could you walk with me for a bit?" Su Yun Tian glanced at Wu Feng beside her and said.

Wu Feng's talent was decent, but that's all it was.

"Is there something that can't be said here?" Before Ning Tian could respond, Wu Feng at her side quickly spoke up.

"There's no need to tell you about this." Su Yun Tian glanced at Wu Feng, his tone icy.

"You!" Wu Feng flared up in anger, but fortunately Ning Tian beside her restrained her.

"Alright, I'll go with you." Then she looked at Wu Feng and said: "This is Shilaike City; Su Yun Tian couldn't possibly do anything to me here."

Upon hearing that, Wu Feng hesitated a moment, then released her grip and gave Su Yun Tian a vicious glare, saying: "If you dare do anything to the young master, I will never let you off!"

Su Yun Tian looked at her speechlessly, thinking, Do I really look like a bad person?

Arriving at a corner, Su Yun Tian repeated to Ning Tian what he had previously told the Lan sisters.

"As for whether you agree or not, that's up to you. If I'm not mistaken, your Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's disciples haven't become one of the Shrek Seven Monsters for a hundred years, right?"

"Don't you want to be the pride of your family?" Su Yun Tian continued to coax.

Needless to say, these words were effective; Ning Tian's heart had already been stirred.

"Who have you told about this?"

"Besides you, there are already four others: me, Wang Dong, and the Lan sisters."

"Oh oh." Ning Tian nodded; she had also heard a bit about the Lan sisters, whose control ability is indeed strong, and they also possess a Soul Weapon Fusion Technique.

"Alright, I agree." Ning Tian didn't ask whether Wu Feng could join; putting it bluntly, she wasn't worthy.

Placed outside, she might be called a genius, but among the Core Disciples, she's quite ordinary.

If the Lan sisters were taken out alone for comparison, their level is actually about the same as Wu Feng's.

But who let them have a Soul Weapon Fusion Technique?

After discussing, Su Yun Tian left, not having seen Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu; he guessed they hadn't arrived yet.

Until the evening of the next day, Wang Dong arrived late, panting as he ran, muttering: "I'm going to die! I'm going to die! I almost came late!"

Pushing open the dormitory door, Su Yun Tian sat cross-legged on the bed, cultivating.

Sensing someone's arrival, Su Yun Tian opened his eyes and saw Wang Dong carrying big and small bags.

Su Yun Tian naturally took them and said: "You came so late; you'll register tomorrow."

Wang Dong'er, having resumed female attire, blushed and stuck out her tongue: "Oh dear, my home is too far from here; even with this, I had to leave three days early just to barely avoid being late."

Su Yun Tian was speechless; knowing it was far, she still didn't leave earlier, but now wasn't the time to discuss that, so he hastily pulled Wang Dong'er aside and said seriously:

"Dong'er, the Freshman Assessment is in two days; I won't say more about this—I have confidence in you."

"But after the Freshman Assessment, there is still a special competition for years one to four, with all participants being Core Disciples; this competition determines the new Shrek Seven Monsters, who will then participate in the Continental Elite Academy Tournament."

"Counting you and me, we already have five; I have ideas for the remaining two, and I'm telling you in advance so you can prepare."

"Shrek Seven Monsters?" Wang Dong'er's pretty face froze; "That fast? And even if it's really about deciding the Shrek Seven Monsters, it should start from the inner court, right? How could it involve us freshmen?"

"No, we're just the reserves; the inner court is the main team. After they graduate, we'll become official members and compete."

"Becoming one of the Shrek Seven Monsters means you will definitely enter the inner court in the future." Su Yun Tian said seriously.

"Go on, who do we have now?" Wang Dong'er crossed her legs, swung her feet, blinked her eyes, and asked curiously.

Su Yun Tian forcibly averted his gaze from her toes, cleared his throat, and said: "You, me, Ning Tian of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Lan sisters from before, and Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu."

After thinking it over, he still didn't choose Xiao Xiao; although the twin martial soul is indeed strong, that would only come later, so for now he could only say it's like that.

Upon hearing that, Wang Dong'er's eyes lit up; she sat up straight and clapped excitedly: "Looking at it this way, among the seven people we have three Soul Weapon Fusion Techniques—how could anyone else be our opponent?"

"Yeah, but I still haven't seen Dai Huabin; I'll look for him tomorrow in class. However, Dong'er, you shouldn't tell anyone else about this for now, lest they start forming factions or targeting us." Su Yun Tian said with a serious expression.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." Wang Dong'er quickly nodded in agreement.

"All right, it's been a long time since we last saw each other; we should also cultivate our feelings." Su Yun Tian stood up, giving a wicked laugh.

"You... what are you doing!" Wang Dong'er's pretty face flushed red, but a hint of excitement flickered in the depths of her eyes.

Su Yun Tian didn't speak; instead, he stood up and went to Wang Dong'er's front, one arm wrapping around her slender waist, the other arm embracing her calf clad in white silk stockings.

He lifted her in a princess carry; Wang Dong'er's face was full of bashfulness as she buried her head in Su Yun Tian's embrace, not daring to look at him.

"Yun... Yun Tian, I'm still young..."
