"Based on the performance of new students in the assessment, the core disciples who have been finally approved by the Academy are: Ning Tian, Wu Feng, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Lan Susu, and Lan Luoluo."
Du Weilian stood on the stage, holding a folder, and announced.
All the students: !!!
The students below the stage looked at each other, seeing the confusion in each other's eyes. The three captains of the top three teams—An Zhen, Huo Yutong, and Huang Chutian—were not on the list. Everyone subconsciously looked at the most dazzling big shot in this new student assessment.
An Zhen: Expressionless.
But it wasn't because of him; he had already told the girls around him that he had become a core disciple. It was because of his little Yu Tong.
An Zhen looked towards the team on the other side, meeting a pair of somewhat aggrieved, deep blue eyes, where the brilliant stars seemed to dim at this moment.
Why? Ever since she entered Shrek, she had put in all her effort. When others rested, she worked hard; when others were lazy, she also worked hard. With An Zhen *Gege*'s status refresh, besides eating and traveling, she almost worked twenty-plus hours a day.
The loli's figure was a bit unsteady.
Huo Yutong felt as if all her efforts had been denied in that instant.
An Zhen suddenly felt a suffocating feeling in his heart.
"Excuse me."
An Zhen slipped out of the team.
At his fastest speed without activating his Spirit, An Zhen rushed to the front of the dormitory building.
A beautiful woman with long black hair was pushing the wheelchair of an old man with white hair.
An Zhen blocked their path.
An Zhen sat on the ground.
An Zhen: (#￣～￣#)
Mu En: …
The dissatisfaction on the young man's face was almost overflowing; he looked aggrieved, like a child acting spoiled with an elder.
"Sigh~"
A hint of helplessness appeared on Mu En's face, like an elder being blocked by his own crying and wailing child.
Zhang Lexuan watched this scene with a smile on her lips.
"You're upset that Shao Zhe didn't include that child as a core disciple?"
"I am!"
An Zhen leaned to the side of the old man, "Grandpa, I'm a reasonable person, but Dean Yan definitely made a mistake in this matter!"
"Tell me, if Shao Zhe really made a mistake, I'll uphold justice for you," the aged voice slowly sounded with a hint of helplessness.
"Zhou Yi and Fan Yu *Laoshi* can prove Yu Tong's effort. At night, in my Virtual World, she also reviews knowledge points and practices Tang Sect unique skills. She even works twenty-two or twenty-three hours a day."
"Just this point alone, no one in the entire Academy can achieve it!"
"Mm." Mu En nodded lightly, "She is indeed a good and hardworking child."
But that's not enough.
A white spirit ring lit up, and his eyes, bright as stars, shone, "Although Yu Tong only has a ten-year spirit ring, this Spirit Ability is very miraculous."
Spirit Detection.
Spirit Sharing.
"Moreover, this range can improve as Yu Tong grows."
"Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were able to perform exceptionally well because of this. Don't you think a control system Spirit Master with such a Spirit Ability is important?"
Mu En's cloudy eyes brightened, and he nodded gently, "A born Spirit Master commander, indeed."
Full map 360 degrees without blind spots.
Anyone who has learned some relevant knowledge knows how powerful this Spirit Ability is.
Although Tianmeng Iceworm is useless, that's for a million-year Spirit Beast. The Spirit Abilities she gave are indeed powerful.
"If this detection condenses into a solid line, it can produce a Soul Impact."
An Zhen used the reason Yu Tong originally used to fool Wang Dong.
A Soul Impact was launched into the air.
Others might not feel anything, but this Dragon God Douluo could "see" it clearly.
"Is this really a ten-year spirit ring?!"
Zhang Lexuan felt that this ability would only be reasonable if it appeared on a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring.
An Zhen lit up his white spirit ring.
Believe it or not, when Yu Tong's spirit ring appeared, it was this color. An Zhen also copied and disguised it.
"And there's the Wu Hun Fusion Skill that can disintegrate a Spirit Douluo's protective spirit power. This is no less powerful than Hell White Tiger. Why can Zhu Lu be selected but Yu Tong can't?"
"Because of her talent, An Boy."
The slovenly old man appeared beside An Zhen at some point, taking a bite of a chicken leg. Elder Xuan slowly said, "The most important thing for a body martial soul is potential, mutation. Even if you gave her a Xuan Water Pill, it couldn't change anything. Her innate spirit power is too low."
"With your Virtual World, her early cultivation might be able to keep up, but will every subsequent spirit ring of hers be as miraculous as her first spirit ring?"
An Zhen opened his mouth, but said nothing.
"Of course, the Academy can also grant Huo Yutong the status of a core disciple of the Martial Soul Department." A refined middle-aged man appeared. Yan Shaozhe looked at An Zhen and slowly said, "But this is because of you, An Zhen."
"?" An Zhen.
No, why are you two Super Douluo here?
Are you that idle?
"Forget it."
An Zhen shook his head.
Huo Yutong would not accept the status of a core disciple obtained in this way.
An Zhen left.
An Zhen was lifted up.
An Zhen was put back in place.
"What are you doing?"
An Zhen glanced at the situation: one 95, one 98, one 99. I'm not Di Tian, why are you surrounding me?
"Shao Zhe, you speak."
"Student An Zhen." Yan Shaozhe looked at An Zhen with some anticipation, "Aren't you going to fight for an opportunity for a cute girl?"
"No."
Shaking his head, An Zhen said with a serious expression, "I will persuade Huo Yutong never to harbor the thought of becoming a core disciple of the Martial Soul Department."
Today, you ignore me.
Tomorrow, you won't be able to reach me.
Yan Shaozhe: ?
"Dean Yan, I think this result is fair and just. Yu Tong is indeed not suitable to develop in the Martial Soul Department," the young man said with a smile.
Something's not right.
Very not right.
Elder Xuan's cloudy gaze swept over the smiling young man. He always felt that this kid was holding back some tricks.
Could that girl still have some hidden talent?
Did he misjudge her?
"Student An Zhen, I came for the blow you delivered that defeated the Hell White Tiger that day." Yan Shaozhe couldn't quite understand An Zhen's sudden change in attitude, but to be honest, his view was the same as Elder Xuan's: Huo Yutong's talent was indeed not good.
"It was done by a phantom copied from Grandpa." An Zhen spoke truthfully, "It's equivalent to a clone of Grandpa using my body, but I can't do it."
"Are you willing to learn?"
Mu En's aged voice sounded.
The World seemed to quiet down at this moment.
An Zhen's talent was too strong.
The potential of a Limit Douluo, duplicated Spirit, Wu Hun Fusion Skill, and even Elder Mu's Descend the World were used. A three-ring Spirit Elder could use Spirit Abilities to become a four-ring Spirit Ancestor, indicating an unfathomable total spirit power.
And the reason Elder Xuan and Yan Shaozhe couldn't sit still and came in person was Ning Tian.
If they didn't come, the other party might just take everything, pot and all.
Why didn't that girl Le Xuan even provide any information?
"Teacher?"
An Zhen asked Iliex for his opinion.
"This guy's strength is fine. If you want to learn, you can, but you have to complete the assignments I've given you," Iliex's voice sounded.
Iliex didn't mind his disciple having other teachers. He vaguely remembered that he also had many teachers back then, and what was there to quibble about with a dying fellow?
"Willing, of course willing." An Zhen nodded.
It seems Xu Tianran's arrangements are indeed good. No wonder Grandpa was so sure back then that he could follow him to explore. There's definitely no problem with his background.
"Teacher." An Zhen followed up, "What's the name of that move?"
"Descend the World."
A smile appeared on Mu En's aged face. He was very satisfied with this last disciple in his life, a successor who perfectly fit his legacy.
A smile appeared on Yan Shaozhe's face.
Got him.
They had investigated An Zhen's hometown and past.
"Little *Shixiong*."
Yan Shaozhe gently patted An Zhen's shoulder, "You must be strong."
Is he very fragile?
An Zhen was puzzled.
"Because we previously granted you the status of a core disciple of the Martial Soul Department, we investigated your background and found traces of your biological parents, but they have passed away many years ago. From now on, we are your family."
"Ah?"
What are you talking about?
Xu Tianran clearly arranged for him to be an orphan. Where did these parents come from?
Forget it, if there's no problem with my background, then it's fine. I'll go back and ask Grandpa during the holidays.
Yan Shaozhe took his little *Shixiong* back to complete the new student assembly process, finally admonishing, "The extra reward for first place is a ten-thousand-year leg bone of a Sky-Void Demonic Leopard, little *Shixiong*, don't absorb it. Teacher will prepare something better for you."
Ning Tian and An Zhen, who filled out the support system Tool Spirit Master form, were assigned to Class Three.
"An Zhen."
Ning Tian took out a Spirit Bone wrapped in a leather pouch, "Wu Feng and I barely contributed. This is for you to handle."
"My family has already arranged for me, and this isn't suitable for Wind Sister either."
Compared to An Zhen, what is a mere ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone?
If you want it, I can arrange a set for you too.
Ning Tian's words were on the tip of her tongue.
"I just became a disciple of Dragon God Douluo *Mianxia*."
The smile on Ning Tian's face froze for a moment.
Was her home stolen?
Just now?
"Congratulations."
The golden-haired young lady's face showed a heartfelt smile.
Given the nature of Shrek Academy and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, it was impossible for them to become enemies. Even if An Zhen became Sea God Pavilion Master, it wouldn't affect him being the Sect Master's husband of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.
But there was always a feeling of being outmaneuvered.
"I don't need it either. Senior Brother Yan won't let me absorb it. Let's sell it and split the money among the three of us."
Ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone.
For others, it was indeed a rare treasure.
But An Zhen really didn't care for it. Yu Tong and Wang Dong also didn't need it. As for using the Spirit Bone to pursue Xiao Xiao, this wasn't just his reward alone.
…
Virtual World.
"Yu Tong."
An Zhen hugged the blue-haired cutie.
"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Don't bully a young girl for being poor."
"An Zhen *Gege*."
Huo Yutong sniffled.
"The choice of a million-year Spirit Beast is never accidental."
"You are favored by destiny, cherished by the World."
An eleven-year-old girl who lost her mother and carried hatred, she was truly strong and remarkable already.
"Yes, yes."
The lazy golden-haired otaku girl appeared. Tian Meng Jie clenched her fists, "It's those people who are blind. You are my host, and our goal is to become a God."
"Thank you, An Zhen *Gege*, Tian Meng Jie."
…
Suddenly becoming the second-highest ranking in Shrek Academy, alongside Elder Xuan (Mu En's grand-nephew) and Yan Shaozhe.
Bei Bei, Zhang Lexuan's great-grandfather!
Uh, so messy.
"Satisfied?"
Traces of the recent excitement and thrill remained on her flawless cheeks. An Zhen loosened the black "reins."
"Very satisfied."
The soft, long black-haired *Xuejie* praised.
An Zhen felt that the two were not on the same wavelength.
The black and white silk fabric outlined the voluptuousness of the beauty's legs. Her fair, jade-like hand adjusted the slightly crooked ox-horn decoration on her head. With jade arms, she pulled the young man into her soft, fragrant embrace. The *Xuejie*'s somewhat shy voice sounded, "Although it's large, I'm not pregnant, and I haven't had that yet."
An orphan lacking family affection, though an extraordinary genius, was still just an eleven or twelve-year-old child after all.
Zhang Lexuan thought with some heartache.
"Mm."
An Zhen felt a bit unable to breathe.
