At this moment, Wang Dong'Er arrived, and feeling displeased, she directly shooed them away.
"Stop dreaming and quickly move along."
The girls instantly became unhappy.
"Wang Dong'Er, you already have Ye Ran, why bother with us?"
"Yeah, you've already taken Ye Ran, now that we have a new candidate, why are you stopping us? We want to find partners too."
"Wang Dong'Er, maybe we'll become family in the future."
...
Wang Dong'Er: "I..."
Wang Dong'Er almost started cussing.
Become family? I would never become family with you lot.
Ye Yu is Ye Ran's father, so if one of these women became Ye Yu's wife, wouldn't I have to call her mom?
Thinking about this, Wang Dong'Er's mood worsened.
At this time, Xu Sanshi and the others looked on enviously.
"Ah, truly enviable, but among the vast ocean, I only take Nannan." (Reference to a saying which means he's focused on just one person.)
At that moment, Ye Yu walked out, and instantly, the girls' eyes shone brightly.
"Wow, so handsome."
"He does resemble Ye Ran a bit, but he's definitely more handsome."
"Handsome, strong, truly my ideal type."
...
Ye Yu was helpless; in his past life, women chose men based on wealth and looks.
On the Douluo Continent, strength is the number one criterion.
As they were about to strike up a conversation, Ye Yu directly said, "I have a wife already."
Instantly, their enthusiasm was doused.
One by one, they seemed ready to cry, wondering why good men never seemed to be an option for them.
"Alright, you all can leave now." Ye Yu waved his hand dismissively.
"Ye Yu, have you considered taking another wife? Like me?"
"Being so outstanding, having multiple wives wouldn't be a big deal."
"Ye Yu, I'm from a big family, so our future children won't go hungry."
...
Ye Yu was speechless, shaking his head, "I'm a one-woman kind of guy, so don't even think about it. You may leave now."
Seeing Ye Yu's unwavering stance, they had no choice but to leave in disappointment.
Ye Ran asked, "Bro... Brother Yu, in a few days, the new All Continent Advanced Soul Master Competition will begin. This competition might be the largest one ever, held in Ming Capital, the capital of the Sun-Moon Empire. The age requirement is under twenty, and one must be at least of Soul King rank."
"That should gather the elites from all academies. Let me see it firsthand." Ye Yu said, naturally intending to participate.
"Alright, so besides the Shrek Seven Monsters and one other 'demon', let's include Brother Yu. In the future, it'll be Seven Monsters, Two Demons. Alright, Brother Yu, continue your cultivation."
Ye Yu and the others returned to their rooms.
At that time, Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyun went to find Huo Yuhao, naturally for a sparring match.
These two battle fanatics were in better condition now, though their faces still bore some bruises.
"That Huo Yuhao is really something; earlier he sent us to spar with Ye Ran, and we're still not fully recovered." Jing Ziyun recalled the incident with irritation.
"As Huo Yuhao said, Ye Ran is indeed strong, but the gap between us and Ye Ran is too big. Fighting him wasn't sparring; it was punishment." Ji Juechen remembered those battles, causing him to shudder.
The two had now joined the Tang Sect, and even Huo Yuhao's teacher from Mingde Hall had joined the Tang Sect.
Meanwhile, Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyun as exchange students were studying at Shrek.
Huo Yuhao was quite troubled by these two, who constantly sought him out for duels. They were like clingy glue, almost impossible to shake off.
Huo Yuhao was currently cultivating when he heard their calls, and his brow furrowed.
"Oh no, here they come again."
"Huo Yuhao! Come out!"
"Huo Yuhao, you really messed us up last time by sending us to fight Ye Ran, truly despicable."
Huo Yuhao walked out, looking innocent.
"You guys did want to spar with someone more monstrous than me."
"Huo Yuhao, I think you just wanted us to take a break so you could have some peace. As you said, after that, Ye Ran left me bedridden for half a month." Jing Ziyun fumed, her chest heaving, adding emphasis to her displeasure.
Ji Juechen directly drew his sword, its aura even stronger, making the air around him colder, his entire being exuding a sharp, fierce vibe.
Jing Ziyun also released her Martial Soul, ready for action.
"Huo Yuhao, you tricked us into thinking Ye Ran was just a support, but after the fight, we knew he's much more than that."
"Yuhao, unleash your Martial Soul and give it your all."
Huo Yuhao said miserably, "Can't you find someone else besides me? Fellow Shrek Seven Monsters like Sanshi and Beibei are also very strong. Go spar with them instead."
Jing Ziyun taunted, "What? Huo Yuhao, are you scared? Afraid we'll put you in bed too?"
"I'm not scared, but you constantly coming to spar every few days is too much for me."
An idea suddenly sparked in Huo Yuhao's mind, and he said, "Do you know Ye Yu? Brother Ran's older brother."
"Oh? A new student of the Shrek Inner Courtyard?"
"Yes. You can go find Brother Yu to spar."
Instantly, Jing Ziyun and Ji Juechen exchanged a glance, hesitating a bit.
"Huo Yuhao, this Ye Yu, isn't as monstrous as Ye Ran, right?"
"And what type of Soul Master is Ye Yu?"
Huo Yuhao replied, "This time I'm not tricking you. While I don't know Brother Yu well yet, I can assure you he's purely a Support Type Soul Master with no hidden Martial Souls like Brother Ran, who possesses the Apocalypse Black Dragon Martial Soul. So don't worry, he won't be the kind to overpower you two, but he won't be weak either. The sparring should be beneficial for you."
Only when the strengths are evenly matched can a sparring session be productive. If they're too monstrous, it's just asking to be beaten up.
Listening to Huo Yuhao, they nodded.
"Alright, we'll let this slide this time. Come on, Juechen, let's find Ye Yu to spar."
"Yeah."
The two left, and Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally, I've gotten rid of those two troublemakers."
Not long after, Jing Ziyun and Ji Juechen found out which dorm Ye Yu was in. Upon arrival, Jing Ziyun called out.
"Ye Yu, are you there?"
"What is it?" Ye Yu's voice came from inside.
"Ye Yu, we've heard you're Ye Ran's older brother, as monstrous as they come. So, we want to spar with you. I'm Jing Ziyun, and my strength won't disappoint you."
"I'm Ji Juechen, and my swordsmanship won't disappoint you."
"Not interested." Ye Yu replied plainly.
Jing Ziyun and Ji Juechen exchanged determined looks and said, "If you don't agree to spar with us, we won't leave."
Ye Yu sighed, "It's been ages since anyone asked to spar with me. Alright, come on in."
Jing Ziyun and Ji Juechen immediately perked up, entering the room excitedly.
Shortly after, cries of pain echoed, and within three seconds, the two were sent flying out, their faces quickly turning black and blue.
The two wanted to cry but had no tears left, their eyes resembling a pair of panda eyes, muttering.
"Huo Yuhao! You sly dog, I should never have trusted you! Ye Ran's brother, Ye Yu, is even more of a demon! Boo hoo hoo..."
