Chapter 53: Why Are You Blushing?

"What? Unlocked?"

Han Ruoruo was startled, clearly not expecting her soul skill to be broken so easily.

Even Yan Shaozhe on the stage was rubbing his eyes, as if he hadn't seen clearly what just happened.

Just a swing of the weapon in his hand easily broke it!

But Bosabei had no intention to stop; instead he kept swinging, and immediately a golden ring was flung out, rushing straight toward Han Ruoruo.

Although she didn't know what the ring was, Han Ruoruo's years of combat experience told her she must dodge it!

However, at this moment her soul power had already been suppressed to the same level as Bosabei's.

Not to mention equal level; even at Soul King level it would be hard to escape. Han Ruoruo barely had time to act before the golden ring directly encircled her.

Then the ring quickly split into five smaller rings, each binding her limbs and waist; as they opened to the sides, her curvaceous figure was perfectly revealed.

It caused the male trainees present to boil with excitement, and Han Ruoruo clearly noticed her indecent appearance, her pretty face flushing as she hurriedly said, "Alright, I won't fight anymore, release me."

Bosabei hummed, then swung his trident, and the rings vanished instantly.

The arena fell silent, and after a few seconds, intense applause erupted.

Although Han Ruoruo suppressed her soul power to Soul Elder level, that doesn't mean her strength is only Soul Elder!

Those valuable combat experiences and control of her martial soul are far beyond what a Soul Elder can match.

Even so, Bosabei still defeated her, and this strength earned genuine respect and recognition from the inner courtyard geniuses.

On stage, one of the senior alumni named Lin Lao, with a look of admiration, said, "That kid is indeed impressive, especially the ring he released at the end, it has such control ability—could it be a self‑created soul skill?"

Yan Shaozhe chuckled, saying, "I'm not sure either; after all, he just joined the academy. We can study it later when we have a chance."

Having said that, he hurried down, announcing Bosabei's victory.

After the crowd dispersed, Han Ruoruo, who had seemed like a gentle big sister, walked over to Bosabei with a flushed face, saying, "What exactly did you just use? There's no way to escape, and its control is so strong!"

Bosabei, seeing this, couldn't claim Tang San taught him, so he shamelessly said, "Ahem, this move is something I previously devised, called ever-changing turmoil; I can't pin down its exact effect yet, since I only just learned it, but it's definitely strong."

"So strong!" Han Ruoruo blinked, saying, "I didn't expect your martial soul to be powerful and your comprehension ability also excellent."

After all, in the soul master world, self‑created soul skills are extremely rare; being able to develop one makes one a dragon among men.

She hadn't expected Bosabei, at such a young age, to develop such a powerful self‑created soul skill; it truly earned her admiration.

"It's okay," Bosabei scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Junior, may I call you Bosabei?" Han Ruoruo's cheeks reddened slightly, she asked.

"Hmm? Of course, but why are you blushing, senior?" Seeing Han Ruoruo's flushed face, Bosabei found it amusing.

She hadn't expected the usually gentle and generous Han Ruoruo, like a caring big sister, to be shy!

"Huh? Really?" When Bosabei asked, Han Ruoruo quickly covered her bright red face, turning her head away, no longer looking at him.

"Alright Bosabei, I'm going back to cultivate now; we'll play together another time." After saying that, Han Ruoruo fled away.

Walking alone on the Heart Lake Island, Bosabei felt a bit bored; previously Wang Dong was by his side, and now being alone felt somewhat unfamiliar.

But Wang Dong should be in a competition now, I guess? Without himself and the luck‑star Huo Yuhao, I wonder if Shrek can still uphold this ten‑thousand‑year glory.

Two days later, inside the Sea God Pavilion.

Having finished cultivating, Bosabei slowly opened his eyes; I must say, training inside the Sea God Pavilion is swift—he could feel he would break through to level 37 soon.

After greeting Mu Lao, he left the inner courtyard alone; after all, it was too boring—trainees were all competing, hardly ever leaving, heads buried in cultivation.

Mu Lao seemed to notice Bosabei wasn't accustomed to inner courtyard life, so he permitted him to go to the outer courtyard.

Upon arriving in Shilaike City, Bosabei felt his mood improve a bit.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, a graceful figure flashed before his eyes.

It was a back view of someone in a black long dress, with pink‑blue long hair.

Seeing this, Bosabei's mouth twitched.

No way? So soon?

Within the Spirit Sea, Tian Meng Bingcan naturally sensed Bosabei's emotions.

"What's up, Su Yun Tian?"

"Nothing, Tian Meng, just ran into an acquaintance." Bosabei waved his hand, saying.

"Alright, but sometimes I really can't understand you, why switch identities to join Shrek again?" Tian Meng Bingcan was somewhat speechless.

"Tian Meng, my—" Bosabei gave a wry smile, "In that state, do you think I'd still have a chance to come to Shrek?"

"Then you could just not go to Shrek!" Tian Meng Bingcan added.

"There are things I can't explain either." Bosabei sighed, "I can't tell them that Shrek Academy is the place with the strongest luck, can I?"

Randomly meeting a key figure always brings a chance for rewards!

After wandering a few circles aimlessly and finding it boring, Bosabei returned to the academy; just as he passed the gate, he saw the earlier figure again.

"Wang Qiu'er?"

"Hmm?" Hearing someone call her, Wang Qiu'er turned, and at the sight of Bosabei, a spark of excitement flashed in her eyes.

"I knew you'd recognize me."

Bosabei also saw Wang Qiu'er's appearance clearly.

I must say, she really resembled Wang Dong, only her temperament differed; Wang Dong was a bit whimsical, while Wang Qiu'er was a cold, elegant big‑sister type.

"I didn't expect you to change your identity and rejoin Shrek." Wang Qiu'er walked a few steps before Bosabei, showing a slight sneer.

She, whose fate is bound with Bosabei, naturally knew that the Bosabei before her was actually Su Yun Tian.

"Can't help it, I don't want to either." Bosabei shrugged, a bit helpless.

Wang Qiu'er naturally understood what he meant, just smiled and said to herself, "Aren't you curious how I got in?"

"What's so strange? Though Shrek Academy's rules are strict, they always value talent; if you're gifted, opening a backdoor is no big deal." Bosabei said calmly.

Wang Qiuer lightly nodded; she didn't know why, but when she saw Bosabei this time she suddenly felt an inexplicable fondness for him, as if just seeing him would greatly lift her spirits.

What she didn't know was that all of this was thanks to that so‑called soul‑beast affinity constitution!
