Chapter 14 Xiao Xiao's Twin Martial Souls
As everyone knows, Mu Jin and Zhou Yi from Class 1 are mortal enemies. Zhou Yi is known for her strictness and eccentricity, and is nicknamed "Old Auntie".
Dai Huabin's words, while ostensibly praising Mu Jin, were actually a dig at Zhou Yi.
For Mu Jin, this was like drinking an ice-cold cola in the summer—so refreshing!
Sure enough, Teacher Mu Jin stood up, her face beaming with joy, her previously serious expression instantly melting away.
"Oh my, this child has such a sweet tongue. Am I really as good as you say?"
"Teacher, you are too modest. Your beauty and wisdom are widely recognized in Shrek Academy."
Dai Huabin continued to intensify his efforts.
"It is our honor to be your student. If I can't get into Class 9, I feel like my life will be bleak."
Cui Yajie, standing next to him, covered her mouth and chuckled, thinking to herself that this man was really good at lying.
Zhu Zhuqing remained expressionless, clearly having grown accustomed to the changes in her fiancé during this period.
Wang Dong'er stared wide-eyed at Dai Huabin as if he were an alien:
How can this person be so shameless? Just now downstairs they were saying the teachers were strict, and now they're suddenly longing for the warmth of spring?
Du Weilun looked at the situation helplessly.
Dai Huabin was such a smooth talker; he made Mu Jin happy right away.
If they refused at this time, they would not only offend the White Tiger Duke's Mansion and the Clear Sky Sect, but also their own teacher.
"Teacher Mu Jin, what do you think?" Du Weilun turned to ask Mu Jin.
Mu Jin walked up to the children and liked them more and more as she looked at them.
Who wouldn't want a student like Dai Huabin, who was both handsome and eloquent?
Add to that a top-tier Spirit possessor like Wang Dong'er—if they all made it to Class 9, wouldn't they slap that old hag Zhou Yi in the face during this year's freshman assessment?
"Director Du, since the children are so sincere, I think we should approve it."
Mu Jin said with a smile,
"Doesn't Shrek Academy advocate teaching according to aptitude? You can't force a melon to ripen. Since they yearn for the atmosphere of Class 9, I will definitely nurture them well."
Du Weilun sighed and waved his hand:
"Alright, alright. Since Teacher Mu is willing to accept them, I have no objection. But let me make this clear beforehand: if you don't get decent grades in the new student assessment after transferring classes, I'll be furious!"
"Thank you, Director Du! Thank you, Teacher Mu! I will definitely get first place in this freshman competition!" Dai Huabin immediately seized the opportunity and pulled Zhu Zhuqing to bow again.
Wang Dong'er muttered:
"Want to take first place? Humph! You didn't even ask me first?"
"Classes officially start the day after tomorrow, so don't be late."
Mu Jin smiled and gave a word of advice, her eyes filled with affection as she looked at Dai Huabin. This was her trump card to defeat Zhou Yi.
After leaving the office building, the five walked along the tree-lined path.
Sunlight filtered through the leaves, dappling the ground.
"You're really something."
Cui Yajie twirled her long pink hair with her fingers and winked at Dai Huabin.
"You even dare to flirt with teachers, you're too wicked."
"This is called the art of language."
Dai Huabin straightened his collar.
"If we applied directly, that old fox Du Weilun would definitely use a bunch of rules to block us."
Wang Dong'er rolled her eyes and snorted:
"You were lucky to run into Teacher Mu, who likes hearing nice things. If it were any other teacher, you would've been kicked out long ago."
"Alright, no matter what, we're classmates now."
Dai Huabin stopped and turned to look at the four girls in front of him, his expression becoming slightly more serious.
"Since we're in the same class, we'll inevitably have to work together in the future. Let's stop hiding things and properly introduce ourselves."
As he spoke, his soul power surged slightly. Although he did not release his Spirit, the oppressive aura of strength was still evident.
"Dai Huabin, Spirit: White Tiger, Level 32 Power Attack System Battle Soul Elder."
Even though she had heard before that a Soul Elder had appeared among the new students, Wang Dong'er was still somewhat shocked to hear Dai Huabin announce it in person.
An eleven-year-old at level thirty-two—that was monster-level even in Shrek Academy.
Zhu Zhuqing stood naturally half a step beside Dai Huabin, her voice calm and cold:
"Zhu Zhuqing, Spirit: Netherworld Cat, Level 25 Agility-Attack System Great Soul Master."
Cui Yajie followed with a smile:
"Cui Yajie, Spirit: Nine-Tailed Fox, Level 24 Power Attack System Great Soul Master."
Now it was Wang Dong'er's turn to feel awkward.
She always thought she was exceptionally talented and was a little tyrant in the Clear Sky Sect.
After hearing everyone, it turned out Dai Huabin was a freak, and even Zhu Zhuqing and Cui Yajie had higher levels than her.
Especially their figures…
Wang Dong'er glanced down at herself, then at Zhu Zhuqing's figure, and felt even more frustrated.
"What are you looking at! I just haven't been cultivating seriously!"
Wang Dong'er stiffened her neck and said stubbornly,
"Wang Dong'er, Spirit: Goddess of Light Butterfly, Level 21 Power Attack System Great Soul Master!"
"Level 21?"
Dai Huabin raised an eyebrow, looking at her with a faint smile.
"It seems the food at the Clear Sky Sect is too good, making you lazy."
"Mind your own business! I did that because—"
Wang Dong'er stopped herself midway.
"Anyway, beating you won't be a problem!"
Everyone's gaze finally fell on the smallest figure.
Xiao Xiao had been playing with her fingers with her head down. When she noticed everyone looking at her, her face flushed red, and her voice became extremely soft:
"I… I am Xiao Xiao."
"Xiao Xiao, Spirit: Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron, Level 19… Control System Soul Master."
After saying that, she lowered her head even further.
In this group where everyone was at least level 20—and some even at level 30—her level 19 felt insignificant.
Xiao Xiao felt like a little lamb among wolves.
The air went silent for a moment.
Wang Dong'er was about to comfort her when Xiao Xiao suddenly raised her head and gathered her courage:
"But… I also have twin Spirits!"
Hearing this, Cui Yajie, who was about to joke, froze instantly, her fox-like eyes widening.
"Twin Spirits?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at the petite girl in surprise.
On the Douluo Continent, everyone knew what twin Spirits meant.
That was a top-tier talent even rarer than innate full soul power. As long as one didn't die young, becoming a Title Douluo was almost guaranteed.
Wang Dong'er was also shocked:
"Xiao Xiao, you also have twin Spirits? You've been hiding it!"
"Also?" Dai Huabin caught the word but pretended not to notice.
He looked at Xiao Xiao's nervous yet expectant expression and nodded inwardly.
In the original story, Xiao Xiao was extremely talented, but she added a Spirit ring to her second Spirit too early, wasting her potential.
Now that she had ended up in his class, he would give her a hand.
At the very least, she must not attach a Spirit ring to her second Spirit too early.
Having decided, Dai Huabin clapped his hands.
"Since everyone is so outstanding, we should celebrate!"
"Let's go to Shrek City. Now that we're classmates, this meal is on me."
"Good! I'll eat you bankrupt!"
Hearing someone was treating, Wang Dong'er instantly perked up, her earlier frustration gone.
"I know a super expensive restaurant. Let's go there!"
"Suit yourself." Dai Huabin shrugged. "If you can bankrupt me, that's your ability."
...
Half an hour later, inside a high-end Soul Master restaurant in Shrek City.
The table was filled with luxurious dishes made from soul beast meat and rare medicinal herbs.
Wang Dong'er was eating enthusiastically, turning grief into appetite.
Despite her unrefined eating style, her beauty made it look charming.
"This is delicious! Xiao Xiao, try this!"
She placed a large piece of meat onto Xiao Xiao's plate.
Xiao Xiao looked at it nervously but still ate obediently.
Cui Yajie ate more elegantly, occasionally glancing at Dai Huabin.
He hadn't eaten at all—he had been peeling shrimp for Zhu Zhuqing the entire time.
The peeled shrimp piled up neatly on Zhu Zhuqing's plate.
"You should eat too," Zhu Zhuqing said softly.
"I'm not hungry. Watching you eat is enough."
Dai Huabin smiled faintly.
Cui Yajie felt emotional.
This man was rich, strong, handsome—and attentive.
After the meal, they left the restaurant.
"Zhuqing and I still need to cultivate."
Dai Huabin wrapped an arm around Zhu Zhuqing's waist and looked at the others.
"You all head back first."
"Cultivate?"
Cui Yajie smiled knowingly.
Zhu Zhuqing's face flushed slightly but didn't deny it.
"You already know, why ask?"
Dai Huabin said calmly.
"Soul Fusion Techniques require a quiet place. What, you want to join?"
"Pah! Shameless!"
Wang Dong'er pulled Xiao Xiao away.
"Let's go! Don't let them corrupt us!"
Watching her leave angrily, Dai Huabin smiled faintly.
"Let's go, Zhuqing."
He whispered softly, and the two headed toward the Shrek Grand Hotel.
