The dazzling light of the Angel Realm dissipated, revealing Ling Bai and Dugu Lin.

"No, what did they do?"

Wu Ming rubbed his eyes, disbelief etched on his face. Han Ruoru and Chu Qingtian were equally incredulous, and whispers spread among the spectators.

The reason was simple: the two of them had been acting far too ambiguously.

Ling Bai was clad in a simple white inner robe, his school uniform having vanished without a trace.

In stark contrast, Dugu Lin was draped in a loose red school uniform, which was clearly larger than her actual size, making her look disheveled. The sunlight glinted off her smooth, white, and shapely legs, casting a dazzling light.

"You're very impressive. We'll meet again next time."

Dugu Lin sent Ling Bai a flying kiss and skipped away from the Inner Academy Soul Arena barefoot, leaving the audience in a state of confusion, wondering what had transpired in the Angel Realm that had so dramatically changed Dugu Lin's attitude.

"Dugu Lin's challenge failed, Ling Bai wins, one point!"

The referee dutifully announced the result. Ling Bai nodded in acknowledgment and left the arena to return to the rest area.

On the other side, Chu Qingtian quietly approached Wu Ming, whispering mysteriously, "Senior Wu, I have a secret to tell you."

"Hm?" Wu Ming raised an eyebrow, a hint of confusion in her eyes.

Chu Qingtian lowered his voice so only they could hear, "Yesterday, I lasted longer under Ling Ge's attack than Ling Luochen and Dugu Lin!"

This was true, as Ling Bai hadn't been serious at the time.

Wu Ming was silent for a moment before quietly uttering two words:

"Impressive."

"Senior Wu, you flatter me... Hey, calm down, don't roll up your sleeves! Don't roll up your sleeves!"

Chu Qingtian first looked smug, then panicked as the Inner Academy's live volcano was about to erupt!

"Come on, let's go to the Soul Arena. I want to see how thick your skin is and if you can withstand my Golden Crow Sacred Fire!"

"Senior, Black Badge can't fight White Badge! Follow the rules! Shrek's rules!"

"Less talk, win and I'll give you a hundred times the points!"

Amidst Wu Ming's angry scolding and Chu Qingtian's cries for help, Ling Bai returned to the spectator seats, looking at the two who had left and asking Han Ruoru:

"Senior, what's going on with them?"

Han Ruoru replied calmly, "I'm not sure, but they seem to have a good relationship."

Ling Bai cast a skeptical glance. Good relationship? How did you see that, Sister?

Chu Qingtian was about to be thrashed!

"Forget about them."

Han Ruoru shook her head with a smile, her deep, dark eyes focusing on Ling Bai as she scrutinized him and then teased, "Little Junior, defeating Dugu Lin and the next Shrek Seven Monsters, Ling Luochen, you're about to make a big splash."

"Senior, you flatter me."

"I'm not flattering you."

Han Ruoru said seriously, "The Soul Master Tournament will be held in a year. Ling Luochen and the previous reserve team will become the main team, but eligible Inner Academy students can challenge them, which is also a way to spur them on.

Leaving aside Ma Xiaotao, who can't control her evil fire, you and Dugu Lin are the only two students I see as capable of threatening their positions."

"Who knows what will happen in a year?"

Ling Bai smiled nonchalantly. If he wanted to, replacing the main team would be easy. "Do you want to fight?" Han Ruoru asked.

"No."

"Then let's go, I'll take you to the Mimetic Training Area."

"Okay."

The two left the Soul Arena and headed to the Mimetic Training Area, finding a room specifically built for Light Soul Masters. Inside, a branch of the Golden Tree hung, its dense Light power capable of tripling Ling Bai's cultivation speed.

"Ling Bai, this is the Heavenly Treasure that can help you suppress the Power of the Evil God of the Death Prison Spider Emperor," Ilex's voice suddenly echoed.

"So it is the Golden Tree..."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Ilex added, "But this branch is far from enough. You must find a way to get closer to the Golden Tree itself."

"I understand, Elder Ilex."

Ling Bai replied and then immersed himself in meditation.

As the sun set, Ling Bai and Han Ruoru finished their cultivation. After having dinner together, Ling Bai escorted Han Ruoru back to her residence and prepared to return to his own

small house.

After a full day of exploration, Ling Bai had a basic understanding of the Inner Academy of Shrek. Despite the strict elimination system, the academic atmosphere was relatively free and open, with little restriction on the students, which he found very satisfying.

A cold gust of wind suddenly blew past, causing Ling Bai to pause. His golden eyes fixed on a brownish-yellow light orb above a towering tree by the lake.

"Very sharp senses."

An elderly voice came from the brownish-yellow light orb, and in the blink of an eye, it

appeared before Ling Bai.

"You seem quite capable during the day. How about old man tests you?"

"Test me?"

The brownish-yellow light obscured Ling Bai's vision, but the sound made it seem like the

person was chewing something!

"Kid, catch this!"

The old man spoke, and a long, thin object emerged from the brownish-yellow light orb,

aiming straight for Ling Bai's chest.

A chicken bone?

Ling Bai identified the object, and golden light coalesced into the Angelic Holy Sword, which

The swung to strike the chicken bone.

"Boom-"

The sound of the sword and bone colliding was like a soul cannon explosion. The ancient trees

on the Sea God Island, which rivaled a hundred-year-old Plant Soul Beast, could not withstand the terrifying aura and were pushed to the sides by the shockwave.

At the same time, Dean Yan Shaozhe hid in the air, and the old man in the brownish-yellow

light orb was Elder Xuan. They were following their plan, gradually approaching Ling Bai.

Elder Xuan's soul power, as heavy as the earth, enveloped the chicken bone, preventing it from breaking under the Angelic Holy Sword's sharp edge. Elder Xuan took a deep breath, and

a surging force poured out.

How powerful was Elder Xuan, the Taotie Douluo?

He could pin a Sealed Titan Strength Sealed Douluo to the ground and rub his face in it with

brute force. Against Ling Bai, he wouldn't use his full strength, but he launched a full attack equivalent to a Six-Ringed Soul Emperor. Yet, Ling Bai could match him, not yielding in the

slightest!

"The physical constitution of a humanoid beast..."

Elder Xuan silently assessed Ling Bai's body. With only forty-one levels of soul power, Ling Bai's physical strength had reached the level of a Soul Emperor!

After a moment of stalemate, the Angelic Holy Sword suddenly sliced through the chicken bone with a burst of sword energy. Ling Bai took a few steps back and said pointedly: "You are a Sealed Douluo, it's boring to bully a young Soul Master. Why don't you find our Shrek College's Soul Master Department Dean, a Super Douluo, for a match?" Elder Xuan was taken aback, then the brownish-yellow light around him dissipated, and he burst into laughter: "Hahaha, interesting! Don't hide, Shaozhe, the little monster is smart, he guessed you were here too!"

Yan Shaozhe descended from the sky, his face devoid of any displeasure, only satisfaction. The more outstanding Ling Bai was, the more he felt all the effort was worth it. "Ling Bai, this is our Shrek College's Sea God Pavilion Elder, the Taotie Douluo Elder Xuan."

Yan Shaozhe introduced Elder Xuan to Ling Bai, who temporarily put aside his slovenly appearance of holding a chicken leg in one hand and a wine gourd in the other, adopting a

dignified demeanor.

"Greetings, Elder Xuan."

Ling Bai bowed. As a ninety-eighth-level Sealed Douluo, giving respect was necessary.

"No need for formalities, today Elder Xuan and I are here to offer you a great opportunity!"

Yan Shaozhe stared intently at Ling Bai's face, his eyes blazing with excitement. As the Shrek College Dean and a ninety-fifth-level Bright Phoenix Douluo, he could hardly contain his

excitement!

Shrek's Fourth Glory, within reach!

"Please, Dean."

"Ling Bai, Elder Xuan's name as the Taotie Douluo is renowned throughout the continent, and he has lived over two hundred years without a successor to inherit his skills."

At this point, Yan Shaozhe slowed his speech, and Elder Xuan nodded in agreement, a hint of regret flashing across his face at the thought of his legacy fading with time.

"I specially asked Elder Xuan to take you as his last disciple. Earlier, Elder Xuan was testing

your abilities."

Elder Xuan chimed in, his voice resonant: "Your talent is excellent, with a divine-level soul, extreme attributes, an innate domain, exquisite swordsmanship, and physical strength far exceeding your soul power. You have the qualifications to be my last disciple and inherit my

legacy!"

Taking a disciple!

This was the plan Elder Xuan and Yan Shaozhe had devised to snatch Ling Bai away from the

Nine Treasures Crystal Tower!

In the Douluo Continent, blood ties come first, followed by the master-disciple relationship!

A teacher is like a father.

Ling Bai becoming Elder Xuan's disciple would brand him with the mark of Shrek College,

ensuring he would become a part of Shrek and take over the position of Sea God Pavilion

Master, leading Shrek College to its fourth glory!

"Ling Bai, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and kneel down and become a disciple!" Seeing

Ling Bai's lack of reaction, Yan Shaozhe urged.

Ling Bai stood quietly, looking at the two Sealed Douluo with hopeful expressions, and

slowly but firmly shook his head:

"Thank you for your kindness, Elder Xuan and Dean Yan, but I'm sorry, I already have a

teacher."
