"Hmph!" Zhu Zhuqing snorted lightly. "Don't I know you? If it weren't beneficial to you, would you be so kind?"
Zhu Zhuqing had roughly calculated that since she had met Lu Feng, she had spent nearly fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins on him.
Although Zhu Zhuqing didn't care, she clearly recognized that Lu Feng was a great profiteer who wouldn't get up early unless there was profit.
"Heaven is my witness!" Hearing this, Lu Feng immediately jumped up from his chair.
"I, Tang Si, pah, I, Lu Feng, swear to heaven: If I have any intention of plotting against Miss Zhuqing, may my brother-in-arms never find a wife in his entire life!"
"Hmph, if I were Tang San, I'd really have to thank you properly," Zhu Zhuqing spat lightly.
"Ahem," Lu Feng said seriously, "Zhuqing, I need to educate you in advance. In this Shrek Academy, there aren't many normal people..."
The next morning, Lu Feng saw Zhu Zhuqing off outside the city, then returned to the Spirit Arena.
Arranging for Zhu Zhuqing to go to school, besides letting her manage her own connections, Lu Feng had also given her a task: to be a spy.
Every two days, Zhu Zhuqing had to return to the small courtyard and share some information about Shrek Academy with Lu Feng.
Of course, Lu Feng's explanation to Zhu Zhuqing was that he was helping her analyze the military situation so that she could take down Ning Rongrong or Oscar as soon as possible.
In reality, what Lu Feng really wanted to do was to follow them to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for soul rings.
According to the plot development, Oscar should be about to advance to level thirty. On their trip to the Star Dou Great Forest, they would encounter the Azure Sun Academy, the Dragon Duke and Serpent Granny, and show off a bit along the way.
Then they would encounter the Titan Giant Ape and be beaten until they doubted their lives.
And then, his brother-in-arms would step in dog shit luck and obtain an external soul bone.
Lu Feng took out a small notebook from his soul tool. Inside, some of the opportunities his brother-in-arms had encountered were recorded in Pinyin.
"Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, crossed out."
"Hair Crystal, crossed out."
"Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, crossed out."
Lu Feng looked at the 'Eight Spider Lances' and 'Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone' on the notebook and hesitated for a moment.
In the original work, Tang Hao had been following Tang San around at this time, and the Blue Silver Emperor was left unguarded. If he returned to Holy Spirit Village now, he would most likely be able to obtain that hundred-thousand-year soul bone.
"Forget it. It's better to be prudent. What's the difference between a ninety-eight percent chance and courting death!"
"Swish!" Lu Feng picked up a brush, and with a stroke, he heavily crossed out 'Eight Spider Lances'.
Early morning.
Zhu Zhuqing got up early from the dormitory and then started running laps around the village.
Today was her second day at Shrek Academy. As a 'transfer student', her mood was heavy.
Before coming to Shrek Academy, she had never expected that an ordinary small village would actually be hiding three Soul Saint powerhouses.
Moreover, the academy's students were not simple either. Among this year's students, her talent was actually the weakest, which made her feel somewhat frustrated.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing finally realized that even among geniuses, there were differences.
Two laps of running was nothing for Zhu Zhuqing, an agility attack system soul master.
Her forehead was only slightly beaded with sweat, and her breathing showed no obvious fluctuations, as if she had just taken a casual stroll in the courtyard.
Arriving by the small river at the edge of the village, Zhu Zhuqing spread her arms and took a deep breath of the fresh air.
The small river was not deep; it looked like it could just submerge her calves.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"
Zhu Zhuqing grabbed a handful of leaves from the bank and threw them into the small river. The leaves gradually scattered along the current.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes sharpened. She leaped from the ground, her figure landing in the middle of the small river.
One step.
Two steps.
Three steps...
With each step, Zhu Zhuqing accurately stepped on a leaf, without even getting the soles of her shoes wet.
This move was taught to her by Lu Feng, called Water Stepping.
The purpose was to be able to use one's soul power at will.
Originally, this move should have involved covering one's feet with soul power and then walking across the water. However, with Zhu Zhuqing's current strength, she was far from reaching this step.
Therefore, Lu Feng had designed a simplified training for her.
"Crap, the next leaf is too far."
Zhu Zhuqing had taken seven or eight consecutive steps on the river surface. Just as she was preparing to step on the last leaf, she found that the leaf had already drifted seven or eight meters away.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes narrowed, and she instantly completed her martial soul possession.
Her first soul ring shone, and her figure became somewhat illusory. Taking one step, her body immediately leaped seven or eight meters away, her toes landing steadily on the leaf.
"Swoosh!" Zhu Zhuqing pushed off with her toes, and the leaf was submerged in the water. The next moment, she performed a beautiful somersault and landed steadily on the ground.
Zhu Zhuqing looked down at her soaked shoes and frowned slightly.
"Again!"
After about thirty minutes, Zhu Zhuqing finished her training.
Although it was just simple water stepping, Zhu Zhuqing's attention had remained highly focused throughout the training process.
In just half an hour, she felt that the effect was even stronger than her usual whole day of training.
Zhu Zhuqing had to admit that Lu Feng was the most talented soul master she had ever met.
Not just his cultivation talent.
But also his unconventional ideas.
In the small courtyard, Zhu Zhuqing had fought with Lu Feng. As a result, she had used all her skills but couldn't cause Lu Feng the slightest trouble.
In fact, Lu Feng hadn't even used his soul power.
Just relying on his own strength and skills, he had subdued her.
What was that move called again?
Right, Tai Chi!
Every time she thought of this, thought of that turtle-shell-like defense method, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but want to bite the other party hard.
How infuriating!
Zhu Zhuqing had already made up her mind. When she returned to the Star Luo Empire, she would definitely tie Lu Feng up and bring him back.
After resting for a while, Zhu Zhuqing did not return to the dormitory but walked towards Suotuo City.
In Shrek Academy, besides the teaching staff, the other conditions were not good.
Especially the cafeteria.
Zhu Zhuqing soon arrived at a breakfast shop in the city. With a wave of her hand, she bought seven or eight items. These were not just for her alone but were to be brought back for her two roommates.
There were only three girls in Shrek Academy, so they all lived in the same dormitory.
Returning to the dormitory, Zhu Zhuqing looked at the still-sleeping Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong and sighed slightly. She placed the breakfast on the table and then took a shower.
Soon, Zhu Zhuqing came out of the shower. At this time, she was wrapped only in a bath towel. Her skin, moistened by the hot water, had a charming blush. Her wet, long black hair was casually draped over her shoulders.
"It's grown bigger again."
Zhu Zhuqing looked down; she could barely see her own toes.
Zhu Zhuqing pouted slightly and gently pressed her chest. As an agility attack system soul master, the 'abnormality' of her body often caused her some distress.
"Zhuqing!"
A sudden cry startled Zhu Zhuqing. Then her foot slipped, and her body couldn't help but fall down.
Plop~
"Waah!!!"
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing lying awkwardly on the ground, her bath towel scattered, Ning Rongrong's eyes immediately widened.
Zhu Zhuqing quickly stood up from the ground. Being seen in such an embarrassing state made her face flush slightly.
She quickly regained her cold demeanor and said lightly, "Rongrong, you're awake. There's breakfast on the table."
Ning Rongrong seemed not to have heard Zhu Zhuqing's words. She looked down and asked in a small voice, "Zhuqing, what do you usually like to eat?"
"Things I like? Fish, milk, and papaya," Zhu Zhuqing nodded lightly in response.
"Oh? Is that so? Then I'll eat these every day from now on!" Ning Rongrong clenched her fists, her face determined.
By the side of the playground, Flender looked at the few people before him. Seeing that Oscar was missing, he immediately frowned.
"Where's Oscar? Did he oversleep again? We can't have this class today without him. Tang San, go and call him."
Tang San was just about to return to the dormitory when he saw Oscar running over hurriedly from the direction of the dormitory.
However, there was no panic of being late on his face. Instead, as he ran, he shouted excitedly:
"Dean, I've broken through! I've reached level thirty!"
