Chapter 25 - Acquaintance

"Fight to the death—for the sake of dignity." Ning Rongrong repeated Tang San's words, then turned her head toward Qian Renyue and said, "Sister, this boy named Tang San does have some ability. His martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, yet at twelve years old, he's cultivated to this level—and he can even say something like that. He's also going to Shrek Academy. Maybe we'll end up being classmates."

"To step forward and protect his girlfriend, and to say something like 'fight to the death for dignity'—that does show character. Seems Shrek Academy isn't so bad after all." Qian Renyue nodded approvingly.

"Sister, what do you think about that scumbag with the White Tiger martial soul—Dai Mubai?"

"He picked a fight over a room, but he took responsibility for it. When he learned Tang San's age, he conceded of his own accord. His character is passable, though it's hard to judge someone on a single meeting. Coming to a hotel to open a room at such a young age—it's obvious he's a frequent guest. That says much about his poor self-discipline. A top-grade martial soul, a Soul Elder at fifteen—his talent is decent. But if he continues to indulge in lust and pleasure, he's nothing to be feared."

"Sister, could you beat him?"

Qian Renyue looked at Ning Rongrong in surprise, then flicked her on the forehead with a snap. "He can't even beat Yu Tianheng. What do you think? You're underestimating your sister far too much."

"Hehe, no, no. But seeing how it is, we'll probably be classmates later. I really can't stand his scummy behavior—what if someday I badmouth him and he bullies me, a fragile support-type?"

"Then just cut him down."

"Hehe, I knew you love me the most, Sister."

"The show's over. Go back to your room and rest early."

The next day, Qian Renyue and Ning Rongrong were originally planning to head to Shrek Academy to register. But just as they were about to leave, they realized Ning Rongrong had no idea where Shrek Academy even was. In the end, the two decided to stay in the hotel and wait for Tang San and the others to return, then ask for directions—or just go together.

Boom—!

With a loud crash, the entire Rose Hotel shook.

"Sister! Is it an earthquake? Or did Father and the grandpas come looking for us?" Ning Rongrong was startled awake by the sound.

"It's fine. It should be man-made. You stay and rest, I'll go check."

"Wait for me, I'm coming too." Ning Rongrong quickly slipped on her little leather shoes and followed behind Qian Renyue.

"Honored guests, excuse us for the disturbance."

When Qian Renyue and Ning Rongrong arrived, hotel staff were already knocking on Tang San and Xiao Wu's door.

The waiter had been sent by Manager Wang to inquire. After all, the noise just now was far beyond what normal people could cause.

The waiter outside asked, "Just now there was a strange sound in the hotel. Honored guests, did you hear it?"

Tang San replied calmly, "We heard it, but we don't know what happened." For the sake of the treasure in his hands, he had no choice but to lie.

The waiter didn't press further—he couldn't enter without permission, after all.

Tang San continued, "It's nothing, I'll go back now."

The waiter had no choice but to leave.

"Wait a moment."

Qian Renyue called out just as Tang San was about to return to his room.

Tang San turned his head, looking at Qian Renyue in slight confusion. He didn't understand why such a beautiful girl would suddenly stop him.

"Hello, may I help you?" Tang San asked politely.

"Brother, who is it? What's going on?" Xiao Wu came out too, no longer caring about picking up the scattered golden particles on the floor.

"Hello. Yesterday, when you were fighting downstairs, I happened to be watching nearby." Qian Renyue said with a polite smile, her manner graceful and refined.

"Oh, right—I remember! There were two young girls watching from the side. What's the matter?" Xiao Wu thought for a moment and replied.

"It's like this. Yesterday, I happened to overhear that you're going to Shrek Academy to register. My sister and I heard from a friend's teacher about that academy, and we found it quite interesting, so we wanted to apply as well. But my younger sister left in a hurry and forgot to ask for the address. Could the two of you tell us where it is?"

"You're also going to Shrek Academy? Since fate has brought us together, how about we all go together tomorrow?" Xiao Wu said happily.

"In that case, thank you. We won't disturb you two any further—see you tomorrow."

"Alright, see you tomorrow."

After bidding farewell, Xiao Wu and Tang San quickly went back to their room to collect the Dragon Beard Needles, while Qian Renyue and Ning Rongrong returned to their room to continue cultivating. After all, they were about to enter a new academy—only with strong personal strength could one be respected, even as a support-type.

The next morning, the four left the Rose Hotel, where they had stayed for two days, exited from the south gate of Suotuo City, and headed toward their destination.

"In truth, we don't know much about Shrek Academy either. My teacher just told me to come here and continue my studies—he didn't say anything else." Tang San briefly explained the situation to Qian Renyue and Ning Rongrong.

Even so, Tang San still remembered the look on the Master's face when he mentioned Shrek Academy. He could vaguely sense that there was some unusual connection between the Master and that academy.

"By the way, we haven't asked your names yet. May I know them?" Tang San asked politely.

"My name is Ning Yueyue, and this is my younger sister, Ning Rongrong." Qian Renyue quickly pulled Ning Rongrong, who was about to speak, and introduced herself.

Ning Rongrong was quick-witted and immediately understood. Since Shrek Academy wasn't registered with the Spirit Hall, revealing the surname "Qian" together with a special Angel-type martial soul could easily lead others to connect her with Qian Daoliu. Thus, Ning Rongrong wisely didn't ask further—she simply held Qian Renyue's hand and continued on the road.

"Brother, look, there's a small village over there." Since there were outsiders present, Xiao Wu respectfully called Tang San "Brother" instead of "Little San."

Tang San looked in the direction Xiao Wu was pointing. About one li ahead, there was indeed a small village. With the sight granted by his Purple Demon Eye, he could clearly make out that it contained around a hundred households—smaller even than Holy Soul Village. A wooden fence surrounded its perimeter, likely to fend off wild beasts. At the village entrance, a crowd of people seemed to have gathered, though it was unclear what was happening.

Tang San smiled. "Let's go ask over there. Maybe the villagers know where Shrek Academy is. A soul master academy should be quite famous, after all."

Finally seeing their destination ahead, the group quickened their pace toward the village.

As they approached, everyone realized something was off. There really were many people gathered at the entrance—mostly youths around their age, many accompanied by parents.

At the entrance stood a table, and behind it sat an elderly man, around sixty years old. What stunned the group most was the wooden archway at the gate—hung with a rather shabby plaque inscribed with five simple words: Shrek Academy.

In front of those words was a green head symbol, seemingly representing some kind of humanoid monster. It looked greenish, a bit ugly—but oddly cute.

On the old man's chest hung a round green badge identical to that symbol—presumably the emblem of Shrek Academy.
