Bonus Chapter. Enjoy!
=============================
Before Tang Wulin could speak, that large pink flower spoke first.
"On your body..."
Youyou's voice carried a hint of confusion and contemplation.
"There seems to be a rather familiar Aura on you."
Tang Wulin was slightly stunned.
"A familiar Aura?"
Youyou did not answer, but gently swayed her petals, as if carefully identifying something.
Tang Wulin smiled, then extended his right hand.
Hum—
Golden light surged from his palm, and a golden Qiluo Tulip appeared out of thin air beside him.
Its golden petals were layered upon one another, emitting a soft golden light that shimmered brilliantly under the radiance of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
It was exactly Tang Wulin's Spirit Soul, Qiluo Tulip.
Seeing this, Youyou's entire flower body trembled violently!
"This... what is this?!"
Her voice was filled with shock, and her petals shook along with it.
"How... how do you look just like me?!"
Youyou's tone held a hint of disbelief, her gaze fixed intently on that golden Qiluo Tulip.
She paused, her voice becoming slightly more grave.
"And... it appeared out of thin air from your body?"
Tang Wulin nodded and explained.
"This is my Spirit Soul."
"Its name is also Qiluo Tulip."
Youyou fell silent for a moment, then spoke slowly.
"Spirit Soul..."
Her tone carried a hint of complex emotions.
"Human, you are quite interesting."
Youyou paused, her voice becoming slightly more formal.
"My name is Youyou, I am the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Herb, but you may also call me Qiluo Tulip (setting from Dou San). I can sense a rather familiar Aura on you."
Tang Wulin's brows furrowed slightly.
"What Aura?"
Youyou's petals swayed gently, as if recalling something.
"That is... the Aura of that person from ten thousand years ago."
Ten thousand years ago? Tang Wulin was completely stunned.
"Ten thousand years ago?"
"I am only thirteen years old, how could I possibly have any connection to someone from ten thousand years ago?"
Youyou gave a soft hmph.
"You humans might not understand these things, but for us Spirit Beasts, something like an Aura cannot deceive anyone."
"I can feel that you have a kind of... Aura of an old friend on you."
She paused and added.
"Furthermore, I don't know why, but I also feel a rather intimate sensation from you."
Tang Wulin fell silent; he really could not understand what connection he could possibly have with someone from ten thousand years ago.
Besides, it had already been ten thousand years; could an Aura really still be that similar? That was impossible, right?
Youyou did not continue to dwell on this topic, but changed the subject.
"Right, human."
Youyou's voice carried a hint of curiosity.
"This Spirit Soul of yours... can I also become something like that?"
Tang Wulin thought for a moment, then nodded.
"It should be possible, but this requires Spirit Soul conversion technology. Any Spirit Beast can be transformed into a Spirit Soul through this technology and then form a symbiotic relationship with a human, but the Spirit Beast that becomes a Spirit Soul will lose its physical body and only have a Soul."
Upon hearing this, Youyou's tone carried a hint of emotion.
"So that's how it is... I didn't expect that in ten thousand years, humans would have actually created such a magical thing."
Just then, Youyou's voice suddenly became serious.
"However, you lot..."
Her petals tightened slightly, carrying a hint of scrutiny.
"You aren't planning on destroying our Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, are you?"
Before Tang Wulin could speak, Youyou continued.
"I'm telling you, if you want to destroy this place, I will not sit idly by."
Youyou's tone carried a hint of warning.
"Furthermore, some Spirit Beasts here have quite bad tempers."
"If it weren't for me stopping them, perhaps you would have long since been killed by other Spirit Beasts to be used as fertilizer."
These words were spoken quite directly.
Tang Wulin smiled and shook his head.
"Rest assured, we will not do anything to the Spirit Beasts here."
He paused, his tone becoming somewhat more candid.
"Our academy already has enough Immortal Herbs provided to us, so we are not in need of those in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
Youyou was slightly stunned upon hearing this.
"Your academy? Not in need?"
Her tone carried a hint of suspicion.
However, at this moment, a sharp voice suddenly rang out.
"Bullshit!"
Everyone's gaze turned in unison toward the direction the voice came from.
It was a plant that was entirely fiery red, shaped like a cabbage, and its main body looked as if it had been carved from rubies, emitting a scorching Aura; it was Blazing Apricot Delicate.
Her tone was full of disdain.
"If you really didn't have any ulterior motives for this place, you wouldn't have come in."
"Humans are not good things."
Xie Xie frowned immediately upon hearing this.
"Hey, don't generalize!"
His voice carried a hint of defiance.
"Ever since we started to Cultivate, we have never hunted any Spirit Beasts."
"The Spirit Rings and Spirit Souls we need are all obtained from the Soul Beast Tower."
Xie Xie paused and added.
"Besides, it's not like our school doesn't have an Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
As soon as these words were spoken, another voice rang out.
"Impossible!"
It was a plant that was entirely ice blue, with ice-blue octagonal grass leaves; the crystal ends and both sides were distinct, with a ridge on each side of the center forming eight corners; it was the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.
"The conditions for the formation of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well are quite harsh; how could it be possible for another place to have one too?"
Xie Xie rolled his eyes directly.
"Of course I know."
"The condition for the formation of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is that the bodies of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings fell here, and the energy of the Dragon Souls catalyzed this ice and fire-colored lake."
Blazing Apricot Delicate's tone became even sharper upon hearing this.
"Then how dare you say your academy has one too?"
Her voice carried a hint of mockery.
"Are the bodies of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings wholesale?"
Xie Xie was not overwhelmed by her Aura, but puffed out his chest.
"But Shrek Academy does have one!"
"And our academy's Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well even has the Dragon Souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings."
"That Dragon Soul has a great relationship with our boss."
Blazing Apricot Delicate and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass fell silent simultaneously, and Youyou was also stunned, not responding.
Seeing that they didn't believe him, Xie Xie turned his head to look at Tang Wulin.
"Boss, demonstrate it for them to see!"
Upon hearing these words, Tang Wulin nodded; he took a deep breath, then slowly extended his hands.
Hum—
One gold, one silver—two completely different Blue Silver Grasses bloomed on Tang Wulin's hands simultaneously!
The Aura of the Golden Dragon King and the Aura of the Silver Dragon King intertwined, like two giant Dragons coiling around his body!
...
Once this Aura appeared, the entire valley instantly fell silent.
Youyou's petals trembled violently!
"This is..."
The flames on Blazing Apricot Delicate's body shrank violently, as if suppressed by something.
"Impossible..."
Her voice carried a hint of trembling.
"This is... the Aura of the Dragon God?!"
Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass was the same, its entire grass body trembling slightly.
"Golden Dragon King... Silver Dragon King..."
"How could they possibly appear on one person at the same time?!"
...
All the sentient Spirit Beasts were plunged into shock.
Those plant-type Spirit Beasts that were originally hiding in the shadows observing also poked their heads out one after another, looking toward Tang Wulin's direction.
...
Meanwhile, Deans Office.
[Key characters Youyou, Blazing Apricot Delicate, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, and others have increased their recognition of Shrek Academy!]
[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the reward: Golden Ancient Tree (Unparasitized Version)!]
