An hour later.
Ye Chen and Wang Dong finished their cultivation.
"Ye Chen, has this secret technique of yours become more effective? Why do I feel like my cultivation speed has increased compared to daytime?"
Wang Dong blinked his beautiful blue-pink eyes, looking at Ye Chen curiously.
"Hmm, this secret technique has a characteristic: the more tacit understanding there is between the two cultivating parties, the faster the cultivation speed."
"You've already cultivated with me once, so cultivating according to my rhythm will naturally be better than the first time."
Ye Chen nodded.
He described intimacy as "tacit understanding."
To prevent Wang Dong from having other thoughts.
"Really? So we have such good tacit understanding~"
Wang Dong's eyes lit up slightly, feeling inexplicably happy.
"Alright, I'm a bit tired from performing the secret technique. Let's rest first." Ye Chen waved his hand, feigning fatigue.
"Okay, okay, okay, then you rest well, thank you~"
Wang Dong nodded repeatedly, got off Ye Chen's bed, and burrowed back into his own small blanket.
...
Soon, Ye Chen turned off the lights and went to sleep.
Although it was a brand new dormitory, Ye Chen slept soundly.
Wang Dong, on the other hand, stayed awake for a long time, lying on his side and secretly looking at Ye Chen by the faint light from the window.
He didn't know why, but he felt that even when Ye Chen was sleeping, he was still so charming...
It's not easy to update, remember to share 101kanshu.com.
It was his first time seeing such a perfect boy; everything about him made him unable to help but feel affection.
"Hmm... Could it be that I've fallen for him...?"
Wang Dong touched his slightly warm cheek, finding it a bit unbelievable, yet also reasonable.
Since childhood, he had displayed incredibly outstanding talent, learning everything quickly, and his cultivation was far ahead of his peers.
Although he had many admirers in the Haotian Sect, none of them caught his eye.
Let alone catching his eye, a bunch of simpletons who only knew how to forge iron didn't even interest him enough to take a second look.
The reason he came to Shrek was partly out of interest in the academy and partly out of interest in Shrek's geniuses.
However, when he first arrived, he was a bit disappointed that the continent's number one academy actually had an 11th-level iron waste...
Not to mention the others.
Although he lost to Huo Yuhao on the first day, it was because he was careless. If they truly fought, he was confident he could pin Huo Yuhao to the ground and rub him.
Hmm, but he also had to admit that Huo Yuhao was quite lucky to unexpectedly obtain a Xuan Water Pill and a Soul Ascension Pill; otherwise, he would still be just a 12th-level iron waste.
Aside from Huo Yuhao's desperate efforts and good luck, which made him take a second look, everyone else seemed mediocre to him.
Even those 28th and 29th-level prodigies were just so-so in his eyes; he could easily catch up to them with a little effort.
However, facing Ye Chen, he felt as if he saw an insurmountable mountain, making him look up to him...
It wasn't until he met Ye Chen that he truly understood what a "monster" was.
"My great-dad and second-dad said my father was very powerful when he was young. I wonder who is stronger, Ye Chen or my father when he was young...?" Wang Dong's eyelids slowly grew heavy, and finally... he gradually drifted into dreamland.
...
...
The next morning.
Ye Chen got up early.
Wang Dong was also well-trained by Zhou Yi, not daring to sleep in, fearing he would be late.
The two simply washed up and walked out of the dormitory side by side.
Coincidentally, Huo Yuhao and Long San from diagonally opposite also walked out.
Huo Yuhao was originally small and thin, and compared to Long San, he seemed as if he would break with a touch...
The four met eyes.
Huo Yuhao looked at Ye Chen with strong hostility in his eyes.
"You wait, I will surpass you sooner or later!" Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth and said, then turned and left.
"Uh, what's wrong with him? Long San, did you bully him last night?" Ye Chen looked at Long San somewhat inexplicably.
"Hehe, big shot, don't slander me." Long San chuckled, jokingly saying, "On the contrary, you two must have had a very good time last night~"
Long San gave Ye Chen and Wang Dong a meaningful look.
"Damn it, Long San, don't talk nonsense. Believe it or not, I'll beat you up?" Ye Chen's face darkened, feeling his character insulted.
Wang Dong, however, was pure, blinking his bright, innocent eyes, looking clueless, clearly not understanding the meaning in Long San's gaze.
"No, no, no, big shot, I was wrong... I'm leaving now~"
Long San felt Ye Chen's ill-intentioned gaze, quickly shrank his neck, and fled quickly.
Although he was burly, he was only a 21st-level Grand Soul Master.
If he angered Ye Chen, he would definitely be pinned to the ground and rubbed by Ye Chen.
"What are you talking about? Why don't I understand?" Wang Dong curiously leaned over at this moment, scratching his head, looking completely bewildered.
"Adult matters, children don't ask." Ye Chen reached out and flicked Wang Dong, then turned and left.
"Hey, who's a child? You're not much older than me, Ye Chen, you scoundrel, explain yourself...!" Wang Dong was furious.
He was actually looked down upon!
How annoying!
...
...
...
Class time was naturally dry and boring.
Combat classes, physical training classes, and theory classes rotated.
Except for the knowledge of Soul Guidance Devices, which was somewhat useful to Ye Chen, other things had little significant use for him.
And the various courses also made Ye Chen completely disappointed with Shrek's teaching.
In just one month of classes, the class had already shown a clear polarization.
On one side were those with influence and background; with the help of cultivation resources and high-intensity training, their cultivation speed was incredibly fast, and several had already advanced by 1 level.
On the other side were those without resources, whose soul power levels were around 16 or 17, barely at the entry level. No matter how much they trained, their soul power did not improve much. They would likely remain stagnant after three months, and if they were lucky, they might advance one level, but ultimately they would be cannon fodder, becoming part of the 50% eliminated, serving as a foil for others.
...
...
In the afternoon.
After school, Ye Chen declined Wu Feng and Ning Tian's invitations to dinner and instead went outside Shrek City's East Gate.
There were many small vendors here.
The most popular, of course, was Huo Yuhao's grilled fish stall.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao had just set up his stall, and many classmates had already gathered nearby, actively lining up.
Although Ye Chen arrived late, several female students blushed and voluntarily gave him their spots, allowing him to queue at the front.
Next to Huo Yuhao's grilled fish stall, Tang Ya was diligently helping out, and incidentally, sneaking bites of grilled fish.
Just then, Tang Ya seemed to sense something, her gaze slightly lifting, meeting Ye Chen's eyes.
"Ah, it's him..."
The moment Tang Ya saw Ye Chen, her eyes lit up.
The first time Tang Ya saw Ye Chen, she felt that this junior was exceptionally handsome and wanted to recruit him into the Tang Sect as a benchmark for appearance.
Later, she inquired and discovered that Ye Chen was not only handsome but also incredibly powerful, even stronger than Bei Bei, a true rookie king.
This made her even more eager to recruit Ye Chen into the Tang Sect.
Such a talented individual should definitely join the Tang Sect!
Thinking of this, Tang Ya quickly waved at Ye Chen, shouting, "Oi, junior, come over, your senior sister will treat you to grilled fish~"
PS1: The protagonist of this book will join the Tang Sect, turning it into his backyard. He'll find an opportunity to kick out Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei. The Tang Sect will no longer accept male disciples, hehehe...
PS2: [Blackened Tang Ya is so damn beautiful, blackened, must be blackened! Switch between black and white Tang Ya for fun!]
