Chapter 56 Discussing Alone_1

```

Afterward, the other Shrek Members also smoothly passed Zhao Wuji's examination. Of course, owing to Xu Sheng being a Title Douluo, the assessment ended very early, and Zhao Wuji did not suffer an ambush from Tang San's hidden weapons.

Consequently, under the guidance of Zhao Wuji and Li Yusong, Tang San, and his four companions followed the two to where Xu Sheng was.

Upon seeing Zhao Wuji and the others arrive, Flander walked over, patted his shoulder lightly, and pointed to Xu Sheng as he explained, "Wuji, this is His Excellency Xu Sheng."

Zhao Wuji nodded and gauged Xu Sheng with his eyes. When he saw the terrifying ice aura Xu Sheng exuded even without using his Martial Soul, he thought to himself, "Is this the person Li Yusong mentioned, the young man who has already reached the level of a Title Douluo? His presence is indeed formidable!"

Moreover, it seemed that the reason Flander's face was both swollen and bruised was because Xu Sheng had beaten him.

Thereupon, he bowed slightly and greeted with his fists clasped, "I am Zhao Wuji, Vice Dean of Shrek Academy, a level 75 Soul Sage of the direct-attack class! My Martial Soul is the Great Strength King Kong Bear."

Xu Sheng's indifferent gaze flashed with a hint of surprise, "Such boldness, truly befitting the Immobile Bright King."

Zhao Wuji was still the only instructor from Shrek who had met him and remained composed.

Indeed, those who have been hunted by various enemies fare differently from ordinary people; at the very least, their minds are not easily disturbed.

Only then did Zhao Wuji slowly rise, still maintaining his composure, "Where, where, my modest title is unworthy in your presence."

Facing someone capable of beating even Flander, it wasn't impossible he might beat him too!

However, as Li Yusong stood next to Zhao Wuji and was about to introduce himself...

He was interrupted by Flander, who said with a smile, "Yusong, I've already introduced you."

Seeing Flander say this, Li Yusong simply nodded toward Xu Sheng as a gesture...

Flander then turned to Dai Mubai, who was considered an elder at Shrek Academy, and urged him, "Mubai, go and call Oscar and Ma Hongjun over!"

"Yes, Dean!" Dai Mubai nodded, gave Zhu Zhuqing a gentle smile, then turned around to call the other two Shrek Members.

Tang San and the others, who stood behind Zhao Wuji, walked over.

When Zhao Wuji saw the Shrek youngsters approaching, he gasped, "Lads, you... mumph mumph mumph"

That was a Title Douluo after all; one careless move and the entire Shrek could be doomed.

But he was only overthinking...

Before he could finish his thought, Flander suddenly covered his mouth, hugged him, turned him around, and whispered in his ear, "Wuji, that Tang San addresses Xu Sheng as 'Brother Sheng,' and the young lady from the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect seems to have an intimate relationship with him. Why are you, an outsider, trying to join the excitement!"

Zhao Wuji frowned, pondered, and said, "Hiss... Then aren't Tang San and Ning Rongrong basically like having powerful backup with them? How will we train them afterward?"

If Xu Sheng, this powerful figure, were around, they certainly couldn't be too harsh in training the Shrek monsters.

Flander's lips curled up, "Don't worry; Xu Sheng is just staying at Shrek Academy for one night. We'll continue with our planned training as usual."

After hearing this, Zhao Wuji thoughtfully responded, "I see, I had thought Xu Sheng would be staying at Shrek permanently!"

Flander responded with a slightly amused voice, "Wuji, how could that be? A Title Douluo wouldn't possibly stay in our small academy, would he?"

Zhao Wuji, no longer concerned about what may come later, simply remarked, "Indeed..."

...

Tang San gave Xu Sheng a thumbs up, "Brother Sheng, you really did something great there, giving the Dean of Shrek Academy a showing up right from the start."

Despite the praise, there was no joy on his face...

Seeing the implication in Tang San's words, Xu Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and said bluntly, "Xiaosan, if you have something to say, just say it!"

```

He had known Tang San for so many years now, and he could easily see through his little schemes.

Tang San pursed his lips and said gravely, "Brother Sheng, when you awakened, was your Soul Power already at level 90?"

Xu Sheng didn't deny it, a flicker of surprise passing through his cold pupils. "That's right, Xiaosan, how did you know?"

"That day, I just happened to see the tremendous glow that burst forth when you awoke, so I guessed after thinking about some things," Tang San replied.

Xu Sheng arched an eyebrow, puzzled. "How so? Xiaosan, what do you mean by that...?"

A few shades of struggle appeared on Tang San's face. "Brother Sheng, your soul power rank far surpasses the Innate full soul power. I once asked my teacher a similar question, and the answer I got was that you might not live for more than a few years!"

He hesitated over whether or not he should tell Xu Sheng, for fear of upsetting him...

Xu Sheng gave him a stiff smile. "Thanks, Xiaosan. But don't worry about me, I've already resolved this issue..."

Unexpectedly, in the three years they'd been apart, Tang San had not forgotten to think about his issues.

After hearing Xu Sheng's response, Tang San awkwardly touched his nose. "Is that so? Well, Brother Sheng, congratulations to you!"

He had thought Xu Sheng would be disheartened upon hearing it, yet the latter had already perfectly dealt with it!

Although he didn't know how Xu Sheng had done it, Xu Sheng wouldn't lie to him.

Xu Sheng's gaze drifted towards the small house hiding in the background, turning to ask Tang San, "Right, Xiaosan, may I speak with your Xiaowu for a moment?"

Tang San glanced at Xiaowu and said with some difficulty, "Brother Sheng..."

Recalling Xiaowu's recent look of terror, Tang San wasn't sure whether he should...

As he was deep in thought, a light hand patted his shoulder. "Third Brother, it's okay!"

Tang San looked back at Xiaowu and saw the determined look on her face, as if she had made up her mind. He sighed and said, "Xiaowu... Alright, I understand."

Her gaze, fearless and unflinching, was fixed on Xu Sheng, completely different from before...

"Then, Brother Sheng, you talk to Xiaowu. I'll head over there," Tang San gestured, then turned to walk towards Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing...

Xiaowu took a deep breath and stared back at Xu Sheng without showing any weakness, waiting for what he had to say...

The corners of Xu Sheng's mouth lifted slightly, his face expressionless as he spoke in a leisurely tone, "Should I call you a hundred-thousand-year soul beast or the human-formed Xiaowu?"

Her eyes sharply focused, she rebutted directly, "I am both Xiaowu and a hundred-thousand-year soul beast! If you're going to make a move, I won't resist, but I hope you won't tell Xiaosan!"

To Xiaowu, being hunted by Xu Sheng was more bearable than disappointing and being shunned by her dearest Xiaosan...

Xu Sheng was somewhat dazed by her barrage of words, remarking with surprise, "Oh? It seems you're already prepared to face death, huh?"

He hadn't even said anything yet, and Xiaowu had already assumed what he was intending to do...

She even had the resolve to face death...

If it were before he became a Title Douluo, he might have considered it...

But now, his Soul Rings were already complete, he had no need of them, so why kill her?

As for soul bones, he already had three on him, completely unnecessary to kill her for the one she would drop!
