"Ten levels—innate full soul power! Hahaha…"
Zhao Wuji roared with laughter.
"Really?"
Shao Xin's eyes lit up with excitement. "Let me see!"
"Hah! Innate full soul power! Zhao Wuji, you've struck gold!"
Zhao Wuji laughed heartily for a while, his mood soaring. He placed both hands on Xu Yunhan's shoulders. "Xu Yunhan, congratulations! Not only do you possess a martial soul, but you also have innate full soul power. Your future is limitless!"
"Innate full soul power…" Xu Yunhan, now snapping out of his daze, was equally astonished.
Back when he had first awakened his martial soul in his past life, he hadn't been born with full soul power.
This was an incredible boon!
Compared to his original Three-Eyed White Tiger, this new version was not only stronger but also came with innate full soul power.
With this, Xu Yunhan felt far more confident in facing Tang San, the twin martial soul prodigy. Add to that his knowledge of things yet unknown in this era—such as the production of soul tools—and his foreknowledge of future events…
Everything that belonged to Tang San—his opportunities, his fortunes—Xu Yunhan would seize them all. And he would make sure Tang San suffered a fate worse than death.
Of course, Xu Yunhan was still weak now. Charging recklessly at Tang San was out of the question, especially with that lurking shadow, Tang Hao, always nearby.
Even if he killed Tang San, Tang Hao would slaughter him in turn. He couldn't afford to be impulsive.
Besides, Xu Yunhan didn't want Tang San to die too quickly. How else could he savor the vengeance burning in his heart?
"Hahaha! Wait till Flender gets back—this'll be one hell of a surprise!"
"Yunhan, rest well. In a few days, I'll teach you how to cultivate properly."
"Old Shao, come on. Let's go share the good news with Li Yusong and Lu Qibin. They'll be thrilled!"
Zhao Wuji was practically bursting with pride. A random child he'd rescued not only had a mutated martial soul but also innate full soul power? He couldn't wait to rub it in Flender's face.
The two left, leaving Xu Yunhan alone in the room to rest.
Lying on the bed, Xu Yunhan began mapping out his plans for the future.
Should I leave Shrek Academy?
For now, he had no intention of doing so—at least not yet.
On one hand, as a seven-year-old child, surviving alone in the outside world would be difficult.
On the other hand, though the Shrek Academy of his past life had been his enemy—inextricably tied to Tang San—this was ten thousand years earlier. Here, Xu Yunhan had every chance to make Shrek Academy his own.
Taking Shrek Academy for myself would be another form of revenge against Tang San. Why not?
Time passed in a blur. Over half a month went by.
During this period, Zhao Wuji, Sugar Bean Shao Xin, Dragon Staff Li Yusong, and Star Chess Lu Qibin all dedicated themselves to teaching Xu Yunhan cultivation.
Their attention bordered on doting—but who could blame them? Innate full soul power was a rarity beyond measure.
When it came to cultivation knowledge, Xu Yunhan, hailing from ten thousand years in the future, naturally understood far more than the current era.
Still, he paid close attention to their teachings—or rather, he paid close attention to understanding them. After all, grasping the current level of cultivation in Douluo Continent would help him make better judgments.
According to Zhao Wuji and the others' plans, Xu Yunhan would need to train for some time before they helped him obtain his first soul ring.
For a soul master, only after acquiring the first soul ring could one truly be called a soul master.
After awakening a martial soul, every ten levels of soul power required a new soul ring—gained by hunting and killing spirit beasts.
That afternoon, two figures—one tall, one small—approached the gates of Shrek Academy.
"Oscar, this is Shrek Academy. From now on, this will be your home."
Flender held Oscar's hand as he gazed at the sign above the academy's entrance.
"Home?"
Oscar stared blankly at the plain-looking gates, his expression dazed.
He was now an orphan, his family destroyed, his home lost. By sheer chance, Flender had discovered him.
What had shocked Flender was that Oscar not only possessed a martial soul but also had innate full soul power—and his martial soul was a food-type!
Food-type martial souls were rare to begin with. One with innate full soul power? That was practically a myth, an encounter one could only dream of.
Flender felt like he'd stumbled upon a heaven-sent genius for Shrek Academy and had rushed back with Oscar in tow.
"Flender! You're finally back!"
The moment Flender and Oscar stepped into the academy, they ran into Dragon Staff Li Yusong.
"What's happened?"
Seeing Li Yusong's excited expression, Flender initially feared something terrible had occurred.
Li Yusong glanced at the child Oscar but paid him little mind, grinning at Flender instead. "Good news! Unbelievably good news! Zhao Wuji somehow got lucky and picked up a kid with innate full soul power. Shrek Academy's fortunes are turning, haha…"
What?!
Innate full soul power?!
Flender's eyes widened. Then he looked down at the child he was holding.
Wait—another innate full soul power?!
"You're serious?"
Flender could hardly believe it.
Finding one food-type innate full soul power was already a miracle. Now Zhao Wuji had stumbled upon another?
Was the heavens smiling upon Shrek Academy?
"Why would I lie?"
Li Yusong stroked his beard, still grinning. "Come, I'll take you to see him. Zhao Wuji and Lu Qibin are teaching him cultivation right now."
Flender stood frozen for a moment before bursting into exhilaration. "To think we'd get another innate full soul power! The heavens truly favor Shrek Academy!"
"Another?"
Li Yusong's eyes snapped to Oscar. "Flender, don't tell me this child is also innate full soul power?"
"Hahaha!" Flender laughed heartily. "Not just innate full soul power—but a food-type martial soul with it!"
Innate full soul power… and a food-type?!
Li Yusong's jaw dropped. He stared at Oscar as if he were a priceless treasure, his gaze so intense it made the boy shrink back slightly.
Without hesitation, Li Yusong grabbed Oscar's wrist, checking his bone age, martial soul, and soul power level.
Bone age: six. Soul power: ten levels. This really is innate full soul power!
"Don't be scared, Xiao Ao. Release your martial soul."
Flender reassured Oscar while instructing him.
Oscar took a steadying breath and slowly summoned his martial soul.
A sausage materialized in his hand—Oscar's martial soul.
Food-type martial souls came in endless varieties—sugar beans, sausages, bread, steamed buns, dumplings… anything was possible.
Though, admittedly, Oscar's sausage looked a little… questionable.
"It really is a food-type martial soul! And innate full soul power!"
Li Yusong was practically vibrating with excitement. "Flender, your luck's even better than Zhao Wuji's! What are you two, dogs blessed by fortune?!"
"Hah!" Flender grinned. "This is Shrek Academy's luck! Now, let's go see that other innate full soul power!"
Li Yusong led the way. "The kid Zhao Wuji brought back is named Xu Yunhan. He's seven. Never had his martial soul awakened before—Zhao Wuji only discovered it after bringing him here. His martial soul is a Three-Eyed White Tiger, an offensive-type…"
