The return to Holy Soul Village was met with celebration and admiration. Alex and Tang San were hailed as heroes, and their victory over the Giant Stone Ape became a tale told among the villagers. Alex, however, knew that this was just the beginning of his journey. His system had greater plans in store, and he was eager to see them through.
System: Host, it's time to set your sights on Shrek Academy. That's where you'll find your next targets. Zhu Zuqing and Ning Rongrong are waiting for you there.
Alex nodded, a smirk playing on his lips. "Zhu Zuqing and Ning Rongrong, huh? Sounds like a plan."
Over the next few days, Alex, Tang San, and Xiao Wu prepared for their departure to Shrek Academy. The elder provided them with supplies and well-wishes, and the villagers gathered to see them off. As they set out on their journey, Alex couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and anticipation.
The journey to Shrek Academy was long and filled with challenges. They encountered various soul beasts and navigated treacherous terrain, but Alex's Heavenly Beast soul and Tang San's Blue Silver Grass proved to be more than a match for any obstacle. Xiao Wu, with her Jade Rabbit soul, provided healing and support, ensuring that the group remained in top condition.
As they neared Shrek Academy, Alex's system provided him with insights into the school's layout and the students who would be attending. He learned that Zhu Zuqing was a prodigy with a rare and powerful martial soul, while Ning Rongrong was known for her kindness and supportive nature.
System: Remember, Host, your goal is to outshine Tang San and win the hearts of the most powerful and beautiful women. Start with Zhu Zuqing and Ning Rongrong.
Alex nodded, his mind already racing with strategies to win over the two girls. He knew that his charm and strength would be crucial in this endeavor, and he was ready to put them to the test.
Upon arriving at Shrek Academy, Alex, Tang San, and Xiao Wu were greeted by the headmaster, a stern but fair man with a keen eye for talent. He welcomed them warmly and provided them with a tour of the academy, pointing out the various facilities and introducing them to some of the other students.
As they walked through the halls, Alex spotted Zhu Zuqing and Ning Rongrong from a distance. Zhu Zuqing was tall and elegant, with long black hair and piercing eyes. Ning Rongrong, on the other hand, was petite and cute, with a warm smile and a gentle demeanor.
System: Approach them, Host. Show them your worth and win their hearts.
Alex excused himself from the group, making his way towards the two girls. "Excuse me," he said, his voice smooth and confident. "I'm Alex. I just transferred here, and I was hoping to get to know some of the other students."
Zhu Zuqing looked him up and down, her expression curious. "I'm Zhu Zuqing. And this is Ning Rongrong. Welcome to Shrek Academy, Alex."
Ning Rongrong smiled warmly. "It's nice to meet you, Alex. We're glad to have you here."
Alex returned the smile, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "The pleasure is all mine. I've heard great things about both of you, and I'm eager to learn more."
Over the next few days, Alex made it his mission to get to know Zhu Zuqing and Ning Rongrong better. He joined them for meals, studied with them in the library, and even sparring sessions in the training grounds. His charm and wit won them over, and they soon found themselves drawn to his confident and caring nature.
System: Excellent, Host. You're making progress. Now, it's time to take things to the next level. Invite them to a private training session and show them your true strength.
Alex nodded, his mind already formulating a plan. He approached Zhu Zuqing and Ning Rongrong after a particularly intense sparring session, his body glistening with sweat.
"Hey, Zhu Zuqing, Ning Rongrong," he said, his voice low and inviting. "I was wondering if you'd like to join me for a private training session tomorrow. I think we could all benefit from some one-on-one time."
Zhu Zuqing raised an eyebrow, a playful smirk on her lips. "One-on-one time, huh? I like the sound of that."
Ning Rongrong blushed slightly but nodded in agreement. "Sure, Alex. We'd love to."
Alex smiled, his heart racing with anticipation. He knew that this was just the beginning of his conquest, and he was ready to take the next step in winning their hearts.
