Chapter 41: Ning Rongrong, the Introvert

Xiao Xian was a bit helpless; after all, they were both sleepy and tired.

They were still thinking of taking the chance to nap for half an hour.

"Stop wobbling, stop wobbling, I'll lend you my martial soul, figure it out yourself."

Xiao Xian pulled their hand out of Xiao Wu's embrace, pointed the right hand toward the doorway, and purple soul power surged wildly from the palm in an instant, landing on the ground outside the door.

A purple‑furred dragon dog nearly three meters long instantly took shape.

Xiao Xian gave a casual swing, and the three soul rings on their body wrapped around Xiao Jue, "Xiao Jue, just follow Xiao Wu's commands."

"Brother Xian, you've really become a Soul Elder!? Xiao Jue's transformation is huge!" Xiao Wu was startled the moment she saw Xiao Xian's purple soul ring and the massive Xiao Jue.

Especially on Xiao Jue, a dragon's aura still emanated!

On the way to Suotuo City, she and Tang San discussed whether Xiao Xian had already become a Soul Elder.

Tang San was confident he could achieve it, but Xiao Wu held reservations, after all, that amount of Innate Soul Power…

Who would have thought!

Xiao Xian lounged lazily on the bed and said, "If you put in a bit more effort, you'd probably have become a Soul Elder long ago."

"..."

"Lah lah lah~" Xiao Wu was silent for a second, then stuck out their tongue at him, made a goofy face, and hopped away.

Xiao Wu and Xiao Jue had also fought many times, so they were old acquaintances.

"Xiao Jue, go!" She instinctively adopted the swagger of a senior at Nording Academy, intending to pat Xiao Jue's massive head. Yet under its dangerous gaze, Xiao Wu still restrained her hand.

Before she couldn't beat it, now… it probably wouldn't even be enough to give it an extra meal.

"..."

After that.

From outside the door, a surprised voice from the girls seemed to come.

Obviously, they had never seen a beast martial soul that could detach from the body and possess sentience.

However, with Xiao Jue's help, the dust and chaotic clutter inside the Little Cabin were quickly blown outside.

The remaining cleaning work became much easier for them, but the girl in the white dress seemed a bit disdainful, moving slowly.

Tang San also finished cleaning quickly.

A year later, his body was once again filled with Sunlight Spore, brimming with vigor.

The power of his Control Crane Capture Dragon suddenly increased severalfold.

With a left‑hand Blowing Fire Palm and a right‑hand Suction Palm, he easily whipped up a Gale, tightly controlling the few specks of dust.

Xiao Wu and the others had nearly finished; all the bedding was laid out, and she lived together with the girl in the white dress.

Another ice‑cold girl lived alone; she chose an empty Little Cabin that was surprisingly clean, except… it had no furniture at all, not even a bed.

Xiao Wu enthusiastically helped her move in a bed.

Xiao Jue saw her choose this room and was a bit displeased, but it couldn't speak…

"..."

After finishing, Tang San stood silently outside Xiao Xian's dormitory.

He had originally intended to chat with Xiao Xian about the past year's cultivation, about the Master, about his perpetually absent father, and about Xiao Wu.

But Xiao Xian was asleep, looking very fatigued…

Xiao Wu and the others also came over; seeing this, they chose not to disturb Xiao Xian and decided that the four of them would stroll around Shilaike Academy together.

"Little Three, let's go! Your senior brother can't run away again!" Xiao Wu waved from a distance.

Tang San looked a bit hesitant.

At that moment.

"Looks like you all have almost finished cleaning," Xiao Xian stretched lazily and slowly walked out of the dorm.

"Senior brother, you're awake!"

Xiao Xian patted Tang San's shoulder and handed him a few Water Sacs.

"Hmm, rested enough, let's go, I'll take you all around; actually Shrek doesn't have much to tour."

Summoning Xiao Jue back, Xiao Xian, as usual, lazily leapt onto its back and sat down.

First, they got to know each other briefly.

Then Xiao Xian led them around for a tour, introducing several other teachers.

The girl in the white dress was naturally Ning Rongrong.

At this moment, her witch nature hadn't shown; she still looked delicate, so Xiao Xian could just call her Rongrong.

The icy girl was, of course, Zhu Zhuqing, presumably just escaped from a hunt, bearing considerable psychological trauma, and was taciturn.

The teachers at Shilaike Academy were delighted to see that this year there were four additional students.

That means this batch actually had eight students, the first time in Shrek's history that the number of students exceeded the teachers.

"That's Oscar, my roommate, a sausage with Innate Full Soul Power, Level 29, probably close to becoming a Soul Elder."

Xiao Xian pointed from afar at Oscar, who was selling sausages.

His beard was still long, his peach‑blossom eyes blinking, looking busy yet happy.

Many boys and girls who had passed the first trial gathered around him to buy sausages.

These two days each year were his best business.

"Support Type also has Innate Full Soul Power?!" the white‑dressed Ning Rongrong looked a bit incredulous, even skeptical.

"Hmm, you also have one beside you, Tang San, Food Type, also half Control Type, also Innate Full Soul Power, also Level 29; you've already witnessed his strength."

"Oh, Xiao Wu also has Innate Full Soul Power, though she's not Support Type."

"The Spirit Hall's proof is right there, there's nothing to deceive you. By the way, your Qibao Liuli Tower should be strong; what level are you now? Aren't you Innate Full Soul Power?"

Xiao Xian sat on Xiao Jue and asked lazily.

Xiao Xian had a look of "Everyone is like that, what? You're not?" clearly teasing.

Ning Rongrong immediately became a bit withdrawn.

Shilaike Academy, plus her, makes three Support Type Soul Masters in total, and it turns out she's the only one without Innate Full Soul Power?!

And moreover, hers is the lowest soul power?!

She is the only Soul Master in the entire Qibao Liuli Sect who can break through to Level Twenty before the age of twelve!

From then on, she became even more taciturn than Zhu Zhuqing.

"That is the Shi Tang; the teacher Shao Xin you just saw is in charge. I forgot to mention, he is a Food Soul Saint, his martial soul is Sugar Beans, and the effect is quite good."

"That is Ma Hongjun, his martial soul is Mutated Phoenix, a disciple of the Dean, now should be Level 28 Soul Power, his age is about the same as yours; you may call him Fatty, or you may call him Hongjun."

After searching for a long time, Xiao Xian finally found Ma Hongjun in the other half of Cunzi outside Shilaike Academy; he was tugging with a girl.

He saw Xiao Xian leading several people, especially three very pretty young girls among them, and his eyes lit up instantly, wanting to come over.

Xiao Xian gave him a warning glance.

Ma Hongjun immediately sulked and withdrew again; he chose to make the most of what he already had and continued tugging with that girl.

"Alright, that's it."

"The teachers are just these teachers, and the students are just us students."

"Except the Dean is absent, everyone else has been seen once."

"School starts tomorrow; then just follow the commands. For now, dismiss, you can do whatever you want."

Upon hearing Xiao Xian's words, the four of them were a bit surprised.

The whole academy, besides them, actually had only four students?

"Monsters aren't everywhere; you barely meet the monster threshold," Xiao Xian glanced at them, still with that lazy demeanor, taking intermittent rests, truly exhausted.

"Little Third, come with me."
