Chapter 1: The Genius of the Dark Holy Dragon Martial Soul?
Shrek Academy
Foreign Languages
It was during recess, and students were coming and going in a steady stream on the wide, tree-lined main road.
However, the surrounding crowd seemed to part invisibly, with many people looking at the two figures walking slowly towards them with varying expressions.
The man on the left was a disheveled old man with white hair and beard, dressed in tattered clothes. He had a huge purplish-red gourd hanging from his waist and a greasy roasted chicken leg in his hand. He was tearing into it without any regard for his image as he walked, his mouth dripping with oil.
Walking beside him was a boy so exquisitely beautiful he seemed almost unreal.
The boy had short, white hair as pure as fresh snow, and his features were so handsome that there was not a single flaw.
What is most striking are his eyes, which are as clear and deep as rubies. Even when hundreds of eyes are scrutinizing him, his expression remains calm and undisturbed.
This visually striking combination attracted countless students, even in Shrek Academy, a school known for producing monsters.
"Who's that old, scrawny guy? He's dressed like a beggar, how did he get into Shrek Academy?"
A freshman frowned and muttered something under his breath with a look of disgust.
Hearing this, a senior student nearby quickly lowered his voice and stepped aside, saying, "Junior! Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. That's an elder of the Sea God Pavilion!"
"Grand Secretary?!"
The new student swallowed hard, immediately shielding the crowd in front of him, silently praying that the other party hadn't heard his offensive words.
"Who is that white-haired boy accompanying the Grand Secretary?" Another senior student muttered to himself, his gaze sweeping over the white-haired boy.
"His appearance, his hair color, and his eyes—he doesn't look like a local at all. Could he be from the Sun and Moon?"
"You don't understand. I've seen people from the Sun Moon Empire, and they're all very dark-skinned. Besides, how could our Shrek Academy possibly accept people from the Sun Moon Empire?"
"Where he's from doesn't matter at all, what matters is... he's so handsome!" Several girls whispered amongst themselves nearby, their faces flushed, their eyes sparkling as they looked at the boy.
"I just don't know their strength..." "Being personally brought into the academy by the Grand Secretary, they must be..."
Just then, Elder Xuan, who was gnawing on a chicken leg, suddenly stopped, waved his greasy hand forward, and mumbled:
"Bebe!"
Not far ahead, a young man with short, dark blue hair and a gentle, refined demeanor turned around upon hearing the sound.
Upon recognizing the person, his expression turned slightly solemn. He quickly stepped forward and respectfully bowed.
"Elder Xuan, what brings you to the outer courtyard?"
As she spoke, Beibei's gaze naturally fell on the white-haired boy beside her, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
The fact that Elder Xuan, who usually doesn't like to get involved, brought it himself, could it be...?
He glanced at Elder Xuan, who was rubbing oil on his pants beside him, and then at the clean-cut white-haired boy.
Okay, let's rule out blood relations for now.
"And this is...?"
Old Master Xuan swallowed the chicken in his mouth, took a swig of wine from his gourd, chuckled, and mysteriously moved a few steps closer.
"Isn't this a coincidence? Come on, you young people, get to know each other. This kid is a little monster I picked up in the outer city of Shrek!"
Did you find it?
Before Beibei could even ask questions, Elder Xuan deliberately lowered his voice even further.
"Beibei, don't let his delicate appearance fool you. With his martial spirit, his future achievements will probably be no less than your great-grandfather's."
Upon hearing this, Beibei's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes widened slightly in disbelief.
Who was his ancestor? It was none other than Mu En, the current Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion and the Ultimate Douluo who stood at the pinnacle of the continent!
Although Master Xuan usually acts wildly and unrestrainedly, he would never speak carelessly on such matters.
To receive such high praise from Elder Xuan, even being compared to the Ancestor Xuan, just how terrifying is the talent of this white-haired youth who doesn't look much younger than him?!
Suppressing the turmoil in her heart, Beibei quickly composed herself, abandoning her usual easygoing demeanor towards ordinary new students, and solemnly extended her hand, smiling slightly:
"Hello, junior. I'm Beibei. If you need anything in the Foreign Languages Department in the future, feel free to come to me."
"Ye Chenxing".
Ye Chenxing gave a polite smile and calmly extended his hand to shake Bei Bei's hand: "I hope to receive more guidance from you in the future, Senior Bei Bei."
Neither humble nor arrogant, calm and composed.
Beibei secretly admired him, and her respect for him grew even stronger.
"Alright, alright, you two kids, stop with the fake politeness. You'll have plenty of time to get along in the future. I can guarantee that with the compatibility of your martial spirits, you'll definitely get along like brothers, just like your great-grandfather did back then."
Elder Xuan took a bite of his chicken leg, waved his hand to interrupt the two's pleasantries, and said to Ye Chenxing, "Let's go, kid. I'll take you to see Elder Mu first."
After saying goodbye to the two, Beibei watched Ye Chenxing's departing figure with a secret sense of unease.
Like Xuanzu?
Although Beibei had never seen him in person, she had heard of him from Xuanzu.
Coupled with the faint dragon aura he sensed from the other party, and the elemental repulsion, he had already made some guesses about the other party's martial soul...
"Dark Holy Dragon!"
As Elder Xuan continued leading Ye Chenxing deeper into the academy, he sighed:
"I never expected that a super true dragon martial soul like the Dark Sacred Dragon would appear in a commoner with no background."
It should be noted that the last recorded owner of the Dark Sacred Dragon Martial Soul was none other than Elder Mu's close friend—the Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao, who was known as one of the Black and White Sacred Dragons alongside Mu En!
At this moment, a genius with the same martial soul as the Dragon Emperor Douluo of yesteryear appeared before him so brightly and beautifully. How could he not be delighted?
An extremely powerful martial soul talent.
An orphan with no ties to his family.
Once you join Shrek Academy, you can make a few friends like Beibei who are clean-cut.
Then, as a reserve member, participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition, and add in all the academy honors and teacher-student bonds.
Once he enters the inner courtyard and joins the Shrek Academy's supervisory group, he'll be involved in the traditional Sea God's Fate matchmaking event... one thing leads to another.
Wouldn't this kid be completely devoted to Shrek?
I'm absolutely and completely welded to this Shrek ship for the rest of my life!
Xuan Lao's mind was racing with calculations, recalling that he was only going to the old tavern in Shrek's outer city to buy two ounces of liquor.
By sheer coincidence, he encountered this extraordinary young man. The dragon's might, the dark attribute—even if he had forgotten the other's appearance, he would never forget the feeling the other's martial spirit aura had given him.
He actually managed to pick up such a peerless genius for free.
I really am Shrek's lucky star.
Beside him, Ye Chenxing, who was following behind Elder Xuan, looked helplessly at Xuanzi, who was displaying his astonishing wisdom, and silently shook his head.
Dark Holy Dragon?
Have you ever awakened the Dark Holy Dragon? Some of these are just wild guesses and assumptions.
That was merely a trick he used to mislead Xuanzi in order to get into Shrek Academy.
The bloodline flowing through Ye Chenxing's body far surpasses that of the True Dragon Martial Soul.
That was the origin of the [Imaginary Tree] that he had traveled from another world with!
But his ambitions extend far beyond simply entering Shrek Academy...
Walking through the tree-lined path in the outer courtyard, a wide, shimmering lake comes into view at the far end of the field of vision.
In the center of that island in the lake, stands a towering tree that defies description.
Even from a great distance, Ye Chenxing could clearly feel the rich life energy, which emitted a hazy golden light under the sunlight.
However, within that invisible interior, beneath those deep roots, dwells a creature called the Blue Silver Emperor, greedily absorbing the life force of the Golden Tree and the life core of that plane.
Thinking of this, Ye Chenxing's lips curled into a slight smile.
"Tang San, can I borrow you, Old Feng, for a moment?"
