They consciously sped up midway, but Shi Yu still kept up.
Seeing Shi Yu use Naruto's Instant Transmission directly while running made them incredibly envious; this ability to use Naruto's Instant Transmission almost infinitely is truly audacious.
Shi Yu was distracted while traveling, with many questions waiting to be answered in his heart.
As soon as he returned to Shrek Academy, he quickly went back to his residence to look at the history books he had collected.
If history had indeed been changed slightly, the content in those books might have changed.
There was no need to look for other books about the Shrek Seven Devils to read.
"Shi Yu," Zhang Lexuan, who had just woken up and was about to go out for food, subconsciously called out to Shi Yu, who seemed to be in a hurry.
"Le Xuan-jie," Shi Yu stopped when he heard Zhang Lexuan calling him and greeted her with a smile.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Did something happen?" Zhang Lexuan asked with concern.
"Nothing, I just want to go home and use the restroom," Shi Yu explained with a smile.
Zhang Lexuan rolled her eyes at Shi Yu; after all that, it was because of this?
"Was your Soul Ring acquisition smooth?" Zhang Lexuan asked.
"It was quite smooth. I successfully obtained my third Soul Ring, and I am now a thirty-fourth level Soul Grandmaster," Shi Yu said.
On the way, Du Weilun and Shi Xing had both sensed his Soul Power, thirty-fourth level.
This result made both Du Weilun and Shi Xing feel somewhat incredible.
Even if he acquired a six-thousand-year Soul Ring, it shouldn't directly increase his Soul Power by four levels.
They could accept an increase of two levels, which was also the expected level.
But six thousand years was a bit exaggerated; normally, it shouldn't provide so much energy for Shi Yu to increase his Soul Power.
The two thought about it the whole way but couldn't figure it out. Shi Yu naturally wouldn't say that the extra two levels were due to going back ten thousand years, consuming two immortal herbs, and undergoing the Ice Fire Golden Body refinement.
He just played dumb, saying he didn't know either.
There was no need to find any reason; he would just insist that it was the increase from absorbing the Soul Ring.
Anyway, they would never be able to investigate and find out that he had also gone back ten thousand years.
"Thirty-fourth level? You absorbed a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring?" Zhang Lexuan said in shock.
"I just absorbed a Soul Ring over six thousand years old. Maybe it's because the Void Mantis's attribute is too compatible with mine, which is why my Soul Power increased by quite a bit," Shi Yu said, making up a random reason.
Zhang Lexuan found it hard to believe; her reaction was similar to Du Weilun's.
"Oh right, Le Xuan-jie, how is Senior Sister Ma Xiaotao?" Shi Yu thought of Ma Xiaotao and asked tentatively.
He really wanted to know if Ma Xiaotao was still around.
"Why are you so concerned about me? Are we very familiar?" Just as Zhang Lexuan was about to answer, a somewhat strong and domineering voice sounded.
Shi Yu looked in the direction of the voice and saw Ma Xiaotao in a fiery red long dress.
Her figure was very hot, with prominent curves, the kind that were particularly noticeable.
She managed to make a red long dress that didn't originally show off her figure look fitted and revealing.
Especially when paired with her slender waist, the curves could easily make one's mind wander.
Ma Xiaotao walked to Zhang Lexuan's side and let out a soft snort at Shi Yu, not being very welcoming to him.
His killing of Xu Sanshi had caused her to lose her helper in suppressing the evil fire, and she had been tormented by the evil fire quite a bit during this time.
"It's good that you're still here," Shi Yu said with a smile, waving goodbye to Zhang Lexuan and running back to his residence.
"What do you mean 'I'm still here'? Is this kid cursing me?" Ma Xiaotao was a bit annoyed.
Zhang Lexuan also felt somewhat inexplicable, looking at Shi Yu's receding back and finding it a bit strange.
"No matter what, he's considered your junior grand-uncle. You should be more polite to him," Zhang Lexuan said with a light laugh, comforting Ma Xiaotao.
"Can we please not mention that?" Ma Xiaotao was particularly awkward with the title of junior grand-uncle.
Zhang Lexuan smiled slightly and continued walking towards the dining hall.
Ma Xiaotao followed along; she had just finished a battle and was feeling a bit hungry.
Shi Yu returned to his residence and took all the books about the Shrek Seven Devils and the Shrek Academy's history from ten thousand years ago off the bookshelf and placed them on his desk.
He sat down on the chair somewhat eagerly and started flipping through them, wanting to know if history had undergone significant changes now that he had taken the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well opportunity and resolved Dugu Bo's poison.
The historical records about the first generation of Shrek Seven Devils were quite detailed; after all, they were legendary stories, so they wrote as much as they could, almost to the point of writing about their three meals a day.
This made it convenient for Shi Yu to understand their new life trajectories.
The Shrek Seven Devils were still legends; Tang San achieved the Sea God and Asura God, eventually defeating the two gods and destroying the Spirit Empire, also making the Hall of Spirits history.
The general historical timeline had not changed, but some of their experiences had indeed changed, and quite significantly.
History began to change from the time Tang San and the others went to Tiandou Royal Academy.
Dai Mubai and the others clashed with Xue Beng, got beaten up, and went to Prince Xue Xing to help them get revenge.
Dugu Bo also met Tang San and the others at this time.
In the original story, Dugu Bo only paid attention to Tang San because of Dugu Yan, but this time he paid attention to Zhao Wuji.
After confirming Zhao Wuji's identity, he immediately attacked on the spot, breaking his arms.
During this process, Flander tried to stop him but was also severely injured by Dugu Bo.
If it weren't for the three Teachers of Tiandou Royal Academy intervening, they might have even lost their lives.
"Dugu Bo is quite trustworthy after all," Shi Yu said with a smile when he saw this.
His judgment of Dugu Bo's character was correct; this person could be considered ruthless, but he also had his own principles, at least he kept his word.
Shi Yu continued reading. The subsequent development was Dugu Yan informing Dugu Bo about being defeated by the Shrek Team.
Dugu Bo took the opportunity to beat Tang San up; daring to bully his granddaughter, a beating was considered light.
After this incident, Flander and the others naturally couldn't stay at Tiandou Royal Academy and left in anger.
Later, they went to join Lanba Academy, which was renamed Shrek Academy not long after.
Tang San and the others held grudges in their hearts because of this incident, trained hard, and made considerable progress by the time the Soul Master Competition began.
However, everyone's Soul Power differed from their levels in the original story. Except for Tang San and Dai Mubai, none of the others had reached the Soul Grandmaster level.
Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul was not purified and was still the evil fire phoenix, its strength not as high.
Ning Rongrong's Martial Soul did not evolve into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda; it was still the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Without the six or seven levels of Soul Power increase from the immortal herbs, Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Power was only around thirty-six or thirty-seven.
Xiao Wu's Soul Power was closest to forty; in the original story, she reached this level without consuming immortal herbs, so there wasn't much change at this time.
It is estimated that she will break through to Soul Grandmaster midway through the competition.
"Dai Mubai's level when he appeared was thirty-seven or thirty-eight, so breaking through to Soul Grandmaster is normal, but what's going on with Tang San?" Shi Yu felt slightly confused.
