Chapter 101: Return to Shrek Academy!

A clone, a phantom—it was precisely because Mu En saw that Di Tian was not appearing in his true body that he dared to push forward that step.

After all, more than a dozen Titled Douluos were enough to suppress Chi Wang now.

And for the other fierce beasts in the Great Fierce Land, it would take time to rush over.

Of course, Di Tian also sensed it. As for why he didn't turn against them, maybe there was something else in the Great Fierce Land.

At least, now, because of these small matters, disrupting the Star Dou Great Forest and waking up other fierce beasts was not worth it.

"Junior Brother Nian'an."

"Junior Brother Nian'an, wake up!"

In his sleep, Xu Nian'an was slowly shaken awake. Aching all over, weak all over—that was the true portrayal of Xu Nian'an's body right now.

Just as he opened his eyes, four faces were reflected in them.

The leader was Zhang Lexuan. At this moment, her face was pale, and her lips were bloodless.

Seeing her, Xu Nian'an immediately thought of the time he woke up earlier; it seemed he saw Zhang Lexuan absorbing a hundred-thousand-year soul ring.

"You... you succeeded in absorbing the soul ring?"

Zhang Lexuan nodded.

"Not only Senior Sister, but Ruoruo and Senior Sister Wu Ming also absorbed soul rings."

Beside Zhang Lexuan, Ye Yi Han spoke impatiently.

Xu Nian'an turned his gaze to her, and to Han Ruoruo and Wu Ming beside her.

Just at this moment, a system panel suddenly popped up in front of Xu Nian'an.

【Goddess Han Ruoruo: Favorability 35, Reward: Rope of Binding Gold (Spirit Treasure).】

【Goddess Wu Ming: Favorability 35, Reward: Thirty-thousand-year Golden Sun-Crow Innate Spirit Ring!】

After this trip, Han Ruoruo and Wu Ming's favorability toward him reached 35. Although the rewards were few, they were all high-quality items.

Zhang Lexuan's favorability was a bit higher than the two, reaching 39, approaching 40.

Ye Yi Han's favorability toward him broke through 40, reaching 43.

The age of the first soul ring was the same as the second soul ring, reaching 30,000 years.

*Ying, ying, ying~*

Just at this moment, a creature wearing a black fur coat, with dark and bright eyes, approached Xu Nian'an.

Xu Nian'an took a look and was instantly stunned on the spot, staring at it for about three seconds.

It wasn't until the other party stretched out its pitch-black tongue and licked his face that Xu Nian'an suddenly remembered who it was.

"Xiong... Xiong Er?"

Xu Nian'an was a bit confused now. Looking at the ceiling in front of him, there was no feeling of bumping, and he was a bit puzzled.

"Where are we?"

The three women looked at Zhang Lexuan.

"You are in a carriage now, and we are on the way back to Shrek Academy."

"We have left the land where the Star Luo Empire borders the Star Dou Great Forest and are about to arrive at Shrek City."

Hearing this, Xu Nian'an was full of confusion.

"No... no, didn't the people from the Xuanming Sect come?"

Xu Nian'an couldn't figure it out. Shouldn't the people from the Xuanming Sect have taken him back to the Xuanming Sect?

Why did they still throw him to the people of Shrek? Such a big thing happened; it shouldn't be like this.

You have to know, he was almost dead. By logic, such a dangerous thing happened, even if his cheap Sect Master father didn't speak, Xu Jianyang and Xu Jianzong wouldn't necessarily let him continue to stay here.

"It's okay, students in the assessment period of Shrek are allowed to have family members visit."

"When we return to Shrek Academy, I believe your father will be waiting for you there."

After finishing, Zhang Lexuan didn't know what she thought of, and her right hand flashed, and a huge red tray appeared.

The red tray was covered with a red cloth.

"I think this thing should belong to you."

Hearing this, Xu Nian'an was stunned; he really couldn't figure out what this thing was.

The red cloth was lifted, and instantly a silver-white light shone, and then the silver-white light dissipated, slowly turning crimson.

"This is..."

Seeing this thing, Xu Nian'an narrowed his eyes, having a guess in his heart.

"Hundred-thousand-year soul beast, Silver Moon Giant King's head spirit bone."

Xu Nian'an didn't finish his sentence, and Zhang Lexuan helped him finish the second half.

Hearing this, Xu Nian'an narrowed his eyes. Sure enough, it was as he guessed.

However... Xu Nian'an shook his head.

"I don't need this thing. I think you are the most suitable for this head spirit bone."

"Having absorbed the Silver Moon Giant King's soul ring, you are the most suitable to fuse with the Silver Moon Giant King's head spirit bone."

Xu Nian'an shook his head and refused. Not for anything else, he really didn't take a fancy to it. In terms of head spirit bones, Xu Nian'an had long had a pre-selection.

The hundred-thousand-year Silver Moon Giant King's age was too low.

"No, in this matter, your contribution is greater than all of us, so you must accept this thing."

Hearing Xu Nian'an's words, Zhang Lexuan became anxious instantly.

Picking up a hundred-thousand-year soul ring for her eighth soul ring was already her luck. Now, if she were to absorb the spirit bone herself... she felt she was a bit unworthy.

Because so many of her junior brothers had fallen, and she had become the final winner, this was simply...

Looking at Zhang Lexuan with her head lowered and eyes red, Xu Nian'an knew she was digging into a dead end again.

She blamed all the mistakes this time on herself alone.

Stretching out his right hand, Xu Nian'an endured the pain and pulled her into his arms.

"You are not wrong in this matter. It is already a blessing that we could survive. Don't put pressure on yourself anymore."

Lying on Xu Nian'an's body, the long-term self-blame accumulated, and in an instant, Zhang Lexuan collapsed, her shoulders trembling uncontrollably.

Watching Zhang Lexuan collapse and cry, the three women were stunned.

They really hadn't expected that the usually unyielding Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan, who was not at all weaker than men, had such a side.

Thinking about it, it was also... probably, her usual strong appearance was just to show them. Otherwise, otherwise there wouldn't be this side.

That's right, Zhang Lexuan was not much older than them, but she carried many times more things on her shoulders than them.

"Junior Brother Nian'an is right, we have never blamed you."

"Every time there is danger, you are always on the front line, using all your strength to protect us. How could we blame you."

"Thank heaven for letting us meet the best Senior Sister."

"Thank you."

【Congratulations to the host, Goddess Zhang Lexuan's favorability toward you has increased by one!】

【Ding, congratulations to the host, Goddess Zhang Lexuan's favorability has reached 40, the age of the first and second soul rings of the first martial soul has increased by ten thousand years!】

*Hum, hum, hum~*

Warm currents flowed through his body, and Xu Nian'an only felt his injuries were recovering rapidly.

Even his soul power was improving rapidly.

Shrek Inner Court, in front of the Golden Ancient Tree, a woman with red hair, a short skirt, and red boots.

Her right hand kept rubbing a canine creature with snow-white fur about a meter long.

"Grandmaster, Xiao Tao requests an audience!"

*Clatter~*

Following the falling of a golden light, Mu En appeared holding a cane. Seeing this, Ma Xiaotao hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

Mu En waved his hand.

"No need, I'm not that old yet."

Walking slowly to a lounge chair, Mu En sat down slowly.

"Here for that stinky brat Xu Nian'an again?"

*Awoo, awoo, awoo!!! *

Hearing someone slander his master, Er Gou was the first to disagree, even if the other party was a frail old man.

"Hehe, you little thing, you're quite protective of your master."

Ma Xiaotao touched Er Gou's dog head.

"Grandmaster, don't blame me, it's just that Junior Brother Nian'an has been out hunting for soul rings for a month, and Teacher and the various Elders have also disappeared. Did something happen?"

Hearing this, Mu En's turbid eyes flashed. Just as he opened his mouth to make a sound, he stopped, turned his head, and looked at the Outer Court.

"Aren't they back?"

Hearing this, Ma Xiaotao's face was full of joy. Holding Er Gou, six soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black—flashed.

Just as she flew to the center of the Sea God Lake, five figures—four green and one white—appeared in the sky.

"Xu Zong of the Xuanming Sect, specifically here at Shrek Academy to pay respects to the Taotie Douluo!"
