"An upgraded version of Mysterious Heaven Skill?" Ye Yin lay in his dorm, quietly studying the upgraded Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record. "I'll abandon this directly, lest it ruin my foundation."
"However, I can consider letting Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu cultivate it. It can greatly increase their cultivation speed. I can try cultivating with all the others."
Ye Yin blinked, and a purple glow instantly flashed in his eyes. Although he had just begun to cultivate, Ye Yin's mental force was extremely strong. He directly entered the third realm, Mustard Seed, which allows him to see through illusions. He moved his body, and a jade-colored luster flashed across his skin. It was the evolved version of Mysterious Jade Hand, now called Mysterious Jade Body. He subconsciously lifted his pants and glanced down; it had also turned jade-colored, and its hardness had at least doubled. Presumably, his combat power had doubled as well. As for Controlling Crane Catching Dragon, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, and Hidden Weapons Hundred Solutions, he would need a suitable opportunity to try them out.
Just then, his system screen began to flood with resentment points.
"From Tang San's resentment +66!"
"From Tang San's resentment +67!"
...
"What happened to Tang San?" Ye Yin wondered. "Such high resentment right from the start?"
"Never mind," he thought. "I should still go talk to Grandmaster about the apprenticeship."
As Ye Yin was about to get up, a knock sounded at the door.
"Who is it?"
"It's me, Grandmaster."
"Grandmaster, please come in."
Yu Xiaogang entered, looking troubled. "Xiao Yin," he said, "you know, Tang San and I have been together for so many years. Our master-disciple relationship has never been resolved. Can you help me think of a way?"
Ye Yin sighed. "Grandmaster, you... Although Tang San and I have a good relationship, this matter is indeed difficult to handle. Your reputation has never been very good, especially with the previous white radish incident. It's very difficult."
Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth. "Ye Yin, even if Grandmaster begs you, help me think of a way. I promise you four requests. As long as it doesn't violate my principles, I can agree to anything you ask. I have no other desires in this life, except to take Tang San as my disciple."
Ye Yin sighed again. "Grandmaster, what you're saying... You still have to agree to ten requests from me. Forget it. Since this is Grandmaster's only wish, I will definitely help you think of a way."
Yu Xiaogang's heart trembled. Ten requests! Didn't I say four? How can you not distinguish between four and ten?
[Resentment from Yu Xiaogang +20!]
"Xiao Yin," Yu Xiaogang said, "I said four requests."
"Fourteen requests!" Ye Yin exclaimed. "Grandmaster, you... there's no need for this, really."
Yu Xiaogang was dumbfounded.
[Resentment from Yu Xiaogang +30!]
"Not fourteen, but four."
"Twenty-four!"
[Resentment from Yu Xiaogang +40!]
"Not twenty-four, just four!"
"Ninety-four!"
[Resentment from Yu Xiaogang +50!]
"Enough, enough!" Ye Yin put his arm around Yu Xiaogang. "I don't need that many requests, Grandmaster. Don't worry, since you've promised me ninety-four requests, I will definitely get this done for you! Within one day, I will definitely get this done! I'm going to find Little San now." Without waiting for Yu Xiaogang to object, Ye Yin quickly left the dorm and headed for Tang San's room.
Yu Xiaogang sighed as he watched Ye Yin leave. "Alas, never mind. Ninety-four requests it is, then. As long as I can take Tang San as my disciple, what if it's one hundred ninety-four requests?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Yin's voice suddenly sounded from outside the window. "Grandmaster, you said it! One hundred ninety-four requests!" That single sentence made Yu Xiaogang's body tremble, and he fell directly onto the bed.
"No," he said. "Ye Yin, you didn't leave."
Ye Yin was leaning on the windowsill. "I left, but I just happened to reach the window and heard your voice. Grandmaster, I remember now, one hundred ninety-four requests."
[Resentment from Yu Xiaogang +70!]
This time, Yu Xiaogang had a new understanding of Ye Yin's devious nature. He's truly not human!
"Forget it," Yu Xiaogang thought. "What if it's one hundred ninety-four requests? Let alone one hundred ninety-four, as long as I can take Tang San as my disciple, even if it's two hundred..."
Yu Xiaogang's words stopped abruptly. He suddenly felt a chill, despite the sunlight on his body. He stiffly tilted his head to look at the window, where a familiar head was leaning. It was Ye Yin.
"Grandmaster..." he said. "Hehe... This time, I'm really leaving." Ye Yin dropped the sentence and his figure quickly disappeared.
[Resentment from Yu Xiaogang +80!]
Yu Xiaogang looked at the window, unsure of what to say. Ye Yin, truly devious!
"What a pity, why didn't Grandmaster say two hundred ninety-four requests?" Ye Yin shook his head, feeling a bit regretful. Although Grandmaster wasn't very useful, he still had some use.
Ye Yin arrived at Tang San and Oscar's dorm and was about to knock when he heard voices from inside.
"Little Ao," Tang San said, "Be careful, ah!"
"Hiss, it hurts," Oscar said.
"Slowly, slowly," Tang San pleaded.
"Pull..." Oscar said.
"Ah! My butt!" Tang San shrieked.
Ye Yin's eyes immediately widened. What kind of shocking words were these? No way, no way. He happened to notice the door wasn't closed. He curiously peeked through the crack. He saw Tang San exposing his wound, lying on Oscar's bed with his back to him. Tang San's bed had already collapsed. And Oscar was currently staring wide-eyed at Tang San's bleeding wound.
"Holy cow!" Ye Yin exclaimed, kicking open the door. "Holy cow! Oscar! Tang San! What are you two doing! In broad daylight! How dare you in broad daylight! Everyone, come and see! Look at what these two are doing! Unbelievable!"
Ye Yin shouted loudly, and people from Shrek Academy arrived upon hearing the commotion. Oscar rushed to cover Ye Yin's mouth, but it was impossible to stop him. Ye Yin, stepping on the upgraded Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, quickly dodged.
"Come and see!" he yelled. "Come and see! In broad daylight! The world is degenerating! Such a thing actually happened at Shrek Academy! What a disgrace, truly a disgrace!"
