"Alright, alright, I'll withdraw, I'll withdraw from the Tang Sect, is that good enough?!"
Bei Bei was also a bit exasperated at this moment, gritting his teeth and staring intently at Ye Chen, saying coldly, "I'm withdrawing from the Tang Sect not because I'm afraid of you, but for Sister Xiao Ya!"
"However, I admit you're very excellent, but Sister Xiao Ya said you're stronger than me, and I don't agree with that. Do you dare to have a match with me?!"
Every student at Shrek Academy is fond of fighting and proud, especially a super genius like Bei Bei, who is listed as a candidate for the next generation of the Shrek Seven Devils.
Bei Bei didn't think he would be much worse than Ye Chen.
Because the information Bei Bei received was incomplete; Bei Bei only knew that Ye Chen fought dozens of people alone, but most of those dozens were only Spirit Masters in their teens.
Bei Bei felt that if he were to go, he could also fight dozens of people alone.
After all, he was currently a thirty-eighth-level Soul Elder, about to advance to thirty-ninth level. Although he was one major realm behind Ye Chen, his Soul Power cultivation wasn't that far off.
He had also defeated Soul Sect powerhouses before!
Moreover, he also heard that Ye Chen's Spirit was also a dragon type, seemingly some kind of Ice Dragon…
Battles between dragons not only depend on cultivation but also on bloodline.
His own inherited orthodox Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was one of the top Spirits on the continent, and he absolutely did not believe his Spirit would be weaker than Ye Chen's!
As long as his bloodline could suppress Ye Chen, then fighting above his rank would naturally be much easier.
"Oh? Are you sure you want to compete with me?"
Ye Chen asked curiously.
Bei Bei must have known his strength, so why would this guy suddenly challenge him? Was he out of his mind?
"What, are you scared?"
Bei Bei raised his head, staring coldly at Ye Chen.
Challenges and bets were the primary means for Shrek Academy students to resolve conflicts, and it was considered a Shrek tradition.
Ye Chen actually disliked this kind of childish interaction.
But since Bei Bei insisted on getting beaten up, he couldn't very well refuse.
Moreover, girls always prefer the strong…
If he could thoroughly beat Bei Bei under Tang Ya's nose, perhaps he could establish a deeper friendship with Tang Ya.
"Of course, no problem."
Ye Chen nodded, then said, "Three days from now, don't leave after class. I'm very busy lately and don't have time for you."
"You…!!"
"Alright, three days from now it is!"
Seeing Ye Chen disregard him so much, Bei Bei's anger intensified.
He was, after all, a super genius among the Outer Courtyard's core disciples, and this was the first time he had been so underestimated.
He swore that in three days, he would make Ye Chen pay the price!
Bei Bei said nothing, turned, and left, his steps somewhat unsteady, clearly fuming.
…
…
"Uh, Sister Xiao Ya, why don't you go check? Senior Brother Bei Bei won't be in trouble, will he?" Ye Chen's mouth twitched at the sight.
If Bei Bei were to suffer any issues from being angered by him, Ye Chen feared that Mu En, the old geezer, would shamelessly come looking for trouble…
"No need, he's a grown man. What comfort does he need? Let him calm down by himself."
Tang Ya pouted and said casually.
There was even a hint of inexplicable disdain in her tone.
There's no harm without comparison; normally, she thought Bei Bei was a steady and sunny big boy.
But compared to Ye Chen, she felt that Bei Bei was truly too far behind…
Tang Ya's voice wasn't loud, but Spirit Masters had sensitive ears.
Bei Bei, who was in the distance, stumbled upon hearing Tang Ya's words, almost falling, and the cracks in his already shattered heart multiplied.
At the same time, his hatred for Ye Chen deepened.
"Alright, Sister Xiao Ya, let's go have dinner. I'll give you a surprise too," Ye Chen shrugged and said to Tang Ya.
Tang Ya not only needed revenge but also needed to become stronger.
Ye Chen planned to cultivate with Tang Ya using Resonance, which would allow Tang Ya to trust him more and earn a wave of goodwill.
As for Bei Bei…
Ye Chen really didn't want to bother with him. He wasn't Wang Dong disguised as a man, so Ye Chen wasn't even willing to waste a minute on Bei Bei.
However, to make Bei Bei cause less trouble, Ye Chen still agreed to Bei Bei's challenge, though he wouldn't beat Bei Bei too badly three days later.
Who told him he had a good great-ancestor…
With Mu En, the old geezer, still alive, Ye Chen wouldn't dare to go too far no matter what.
…
"A surprise? What kind of surprise?"
"You'll know when the time comes…"
The two gradually walked away, leaving Huo Yuhao standing by, lost in thought.
"This guy actually drove away Senior Brother Bei Bei, despicable…" Huo Yuhao stared intently at Ye Chen's retreating back, gritting his teeth inwardly.
Although it was Tang Ya who told Bei Bei to leave temporarily, in his opinion, his Teacher Sister Xiao Ya was definitely deceived by Ye Chen, and Ye Chen was the culprit of everything.
"Three days from now, huh? It's not certain who will win or lose then…" Huo Yuhao thought to himself.
…
Ye Chen's spiritual power was keen, so he naturally sensed Huo Yuhao's gaze.
But Ye Chen paid no attention.
Moreover, he had even guessed Huo Yuhao's intentions.
It was nothing more than helping Bei Bei cheat in the competition three days later.
Cheating, well, that was Huo Yuhao's usual trick.
When Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi dueled, Huo Yuhao helped Bei Bei cheat, helping Bei Bei win, and also winning the Xuan Water Pill.
Also, in the original work's Advanced Spirit Master Academy Tournament, when Huo Yuhao saw Wang Dong about to lose, he also secretly cheated and performed a Spirit Fusion with Wang Dong…
Spiritual power Spirit Masters could cheat silently, and they had many insidious methods that were hard to guard against.
However, Ye Chen didn't care; Huo Yuhao could only cause trouble for a while longer.
Once he intercepts the Ice Empress and takes away Huo Yuhao's greatest fortune, Huo Yuhao will most likely be unable to cause trouble…
…
…
Ye Chen and Tang Ya arrived at the Seven Treasure Hotel again.
If they were going to eat, they had to eat the best.
Besides, this place was also relatively secluded, wouldn't be disturbed, and offered high privacy.
If it were an ordinary restaurant, some things would genuinely be difficult to do…
Moreover, it was easy to be monitored.
Ye Chen's peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a corner behind him, where a figure was hiding—it was Bei Bei…
…
…
"Damn it, going to a place like this, are they really just eating…?"
Bei Bei's eyes were bloodshot as he watched Ye Chen and Tang Ya enter the hotel shoulder to shoulder, his teeth almost shattering, clenched tightly, his fingertips nearly digging into his flesh.
He had just pretended to leave, intending to follow them.
He wanted to see what methods Ye Chen used to fool Tang Ya.
He never expected that these two would go to such a place just to eat; it was simply outrageous!
Seeing Ye Chen and Tang Ya enter the hotel, Bei Bei gritted his teeth and also chased inside…
…
…
Inside the VIP private room.
Ye Chen was savouring various rare delicacies with great pleasure.
Although these things were very expensive.
But Ye Chen was getting them all for free.
The bill was charged to the rich woman, Ning Tian.
Ye Chen ate this soft rice very naturally, not caring at all.
At worst, he would give her an immortal herb in the future to evolve Ning Tian's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
"Ye Chen, what's the surprise you mentioned? Can you tell me now?"
Tang Ya didn't have much appetite; she was already full from the grilled fish, but she was particularly interested in Ye Chen's surprise.
"Hmm, actually, it's a legendary secret technique passed down in my family…"
Ye Chen briefly explained Resonance.
This thing only works when two people cultivate together, so Ye Chen couldn't possibly hide it.
Therefore, he only chose people he trusted to cultivate with him.
Fortunately, most of the Shrek students' character was guaranteed, and coupled with them being hothouse flowers, they rarely encountered the sinister nature of society.
"Really! Then can we cultivate together…?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Ya was immediately surprised, her eyes shining, and there was a hint of embarrassment in her gaze towards Ye Chen.
After all, Ye Chen said that this secret method consumed a lot, and even though she was just mooching, she still felt a bit embarrassed.
But, she really wanted to become stronger too much…
