Wang Yan initially couldn't determine the gender of the young person in front of him. Perhaps, there was a slim chance that a male Spirit Master with the Bright Goddess Butterfly Spirit had appeared. If that were the case, this new student would hold immense research value in Wang Yan's eyes.
But Wang Dong was only an eleven-year-old child and hadn't yet learned how to hide her thoughts. After a few sentences, she had lost her confidence, and her answers to Wang Yan's questions were hesitant.
Having taught at Shrek Academy for a long time, Wang Yan had considerable experience in dealing with students. After observing Wang Dong's behavior, he had already guessed seventy to eighty percent of the truth.
"Student, you might not know this, but Shrek Academy allocates dormitories by gender, and all Outer Courtyard Disciples share a room with another person. It will be very difficult to arrange accommodation for you like this."
Although Wang Yan didn't directly expose her, the implication of his words was clear: he already knew that Wang Dong was actually a girl.
Even Wang Dong herself didn't realize that the Bright Goddess Butterfly Spirit only appears in female Spirit Masters, so she remained unaware of where she had given herself away.
Wang Dong's cross-dressing was partly because she feared her appearance would cause unnecessary trouble, and partly because she was playful and found it amusing.
She hadn't expected Shrek Academy to be so formidable that even an ordinary teacher could see through the family's disguise technique, which she had painstakingly practiced for so long.
"I... I have my reasons."
Wang Dong tried to resist, but to Wang Yan's ears, this was equivalent to her admitting she was a girl.
Wang Yan shook his head. Children of eleven or twelve are at an age where they are curious about the opposite sex. If Wang Dong were truly allowed to live in the boys' dormitory, who knew what kind of trouble she might cause.
"As a teacher, I must be responsible for my students. If you truly have your reasons, I can apply to the Academy for you to have a single room, but living in the boys' dormitory is absolutely impossible."
"Alright."
Seeing Wang Yan's resolute attitude, Wang Dong immediately deflated and could only reply weakly.
"Come, put your hand here to test your spirit power. Once your spirit power is qualified, you can proceed to the assessment area behind."
By this point, Wang Nan didn't know what expression to make. He knew his appearance would bring unpredictable changes to this world, but he hadn't expected such a significant change from Wang Dong'er's enrollment.
'However…' Wang Nan recalled what had happened in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. 'Perhaps the change had already occurred.'
Watching Wang Dong'er already walking towards the assessment arena in the Fighting Soul Zone, Wang Nan didn't linger any longer and went downstairs to the new student dormitory building to find Mu En.
"You've come."
Mu En sensed Wang Nan's arrival without opening his eyes. "This time of year is always my happiest. I always feel much younger when I'm with them."
Wang Nan didn't answer but listened quietly. Wang Dong'er had already enrolled, and Mu En's remaining time was also limited.
"How is it? Are you satisfied with your Spirit Bone?"
Wang Nan nodded.
The 100,000-year Spirit Bone could provide him with two Spirit Abilities, one of which was called Moon Chase.
Wang Nan could use the Spirit Bone to leave a "Moon" mark in a certain place for a period of time. As long as this mark was within Wang Nan's mental force sensing range, he could activate the Spirit Bone to move to the location of the "Moon."
With Wang Nan's current mental force, he could move freely within a three-kilometer radius, which was a very practical displacement skill. However, for some reason, an image of a yellow-haired figure from his past life always appeared in Wang Nan's mind.
The second Spirit Ability was originally named Berserk.
The "Mad" in Corrosion Moon Mad Mastiff's name wasn't given casually. The Berserk Spirit Ability would cause it and its surrounding kin to gradually lose their minds and uncontrollably fall into a frenzy.
When it first appeared, the surrounding Crimson Demon Dogs were affected by this, which weakened the effect of Wang Nan's Dragon Might.
With such a huge side effect, the amplification it brought was also considerable.
The Berserk skill could fully enhance one's attack power, attack speed, and destructive power. The degree of amplification was related to one's own state; the lower the spirit power and the more severe the injury, the higher the amplification. At the same time, it would also weaken the perceived pain, indirectly increasing endurance.
However, the Spirit Ability Wang Nan obtained was not the original Berserk.
The Evil Breaking Dragon possessed the same arrogance as other Dragon Clan members. It would never allow other unfavorable factors to invade its territory. When Wang Nan absorbed the Spirit Bone, it confronted the Corrosion Moon Mad Mastiff's Spirit Bone for a long time until it assimilated and absorbed it.
Therefore, the Spirit Ability Wang Nan obtained no longer had the effect of making him fall into a frenzy, and he also lost the ability to resist other mental controls and weaken pain perception.
A Spirit Ability without the frenzy effect was no longer suitable for the name Berserk. Based on its effect of greater amplification when spirit power was lower and injuries were more severe, Wang Nan renamed it Back to the Wall.
Seeing that Wang Nan was quite satisfied with his Spirit Bone, Mu En also nodded. "Your physical strength is already not much different from when I was young. If I'm not mistaken, you should have more than one Spirit Bone; otherwise, with your characteristic as a Tool Spirit Master, it would be impossible for you to compare to me back then."
"My own seventh spirit ring has already exceeded 100,000 years, and my sixth spirit ring also came from a 90,000-year Spirit Beast, close to 100,000 years. Now you can also try."
Mu En seemed to have been prepared. "And I happen to have a suitable target for you here."
"Do you remember the news about the Evil Soul Master you brought back from the Douling Empire three years ago? Since the Shrek Supervisory Group went to investigate, the 'River God' mentioned by that boss has never been seen again, until recently when someone saw it again in the coastal area of the Star Luo Empire."
"That is a carp that has survived since the Heavenly Scale Sect era, or more precisely, a Dragon Carp. The Heavenly Scale Sect's Dragon Transformation Secret Method took effect on it, making it a half-true Dragon."
"The Dragon Clan has long disappeared from the Douluo Continent. Although the Heavenly Scale Sect's Dragon Transformation Secret Method is not the Righteous Path, that Dragon Carp can be considered one of the few true Dragon descendants on the Douluo Continent, and it perfectly matches your Coiling Dragon Staff."
"How about it? If you are interested in it, you can take a trip to the Star Luo Empire. You won't have to wait for the Academy to organize the next spirit ring hunting operation."
"Just me alone?"
Wang Nan still had self-awareness. A 90,000-year Spirit Beast's strength was comparable to an eight-ring Spirit Douluo; it was definitely not something he could defeat alone.
"I'll have Le Xuan accompany you on the trip. Although she just obtained her eighth spirit ring, the power of a 100,000-year spirit ring is enough for her to deal with all opponents below the Titled Douluo cultivation level."
