Chapter 27: The Shrek Seven Devils, First Meeting Tang San!

Chapter 27: The Seven Wonders of Shrek, First Encounter with Tang San!

At this moment, everyone was running as part of their intensive training when they saw Xiao Wu and Liu Erlong returning, and they all stopped.

“Look, Xiao Wu is back,” said a young girl dressed in a simple, clean white outfit, her voice soft. She was petite and exquisite, with neatly cropped short hair just reaching her ears. Her skin was as tender as a lychee’s, her features delicate. Standing about 1.65 meters tall, her figure was perfectly proportioned, giving off an ethereal aura. She carried the air of a noble lady—appearing delicate and evoking an instinctive urge to protect her.

She was Ning Rongrong, the only daughter of Ning Fengzhi, the master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School, and the treasured gem of the sect.

Present were members of the Shrek Seven Devils: Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Zhu Zhuqing, and Tang San.

Xu Yan followed quietly behind, observing intently.

Tang San wore light blue clothing and still had short hair. His gaze was fixed on Xu Yan.

Xu Yan noticed Tang San’s stare and thought to himself that this formidable fellow seemed to have already taken notice of him.

“You transmigrated and were reborn, and I came from the 21st century through transmigration. I know everything about you.”

“Ning Rongrong,” she approached and quickly took Xiao Wu’s hand.

Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, and Oscar also noticed Xu Yan.

“Who’s this guy? How did he come back with Xiao Wu and Aunt Erlong?” Ma Hongjun asked hurriedly.

“He looks exceptional, probably no ordinary person,” Dai Mubai remarked, sensing Xu Yan’s noble demeanor, somewhat like a gentleman.

That was because Xu Yan had spent some time in Yue Xuan, refining his temperament and spirit, making him more charismatic overall.

Xu Yan possessed not only strong willpower but also an enhanced aura.

Perhaps he didn’t need to cultivate temperament and refine his mind in Yue Xuan like Tang San did after entering the City of Slaughter, but he had still trained to strengthen his spirit.

Moreover, he had also won the affection of his aunt.

Tang San, what are you looking at? You should call me uncle.

Xu Yan thought to himself in response to Tang San’s gaze.

Tang San immediately approached, looking at Xiao Wu: “Xiao Wu, how are you?”

Liu Erlong smiled quickly: “Xiao San, don’t worry, Xiao Wu has already obtained a suitable spirit ring and has advanced to level forty.”

A smile appeared on Tang San’s face as he looked at Xiao Wu: “Really?”

Xiao Wu nodded, then looked at Xu Yan: “All this is thanks to Yu Hao. Yu Hao… these are my companions.”

As Xiao Wu finished speaking, everyone’s eyes turned toward Xu Yan.

Xu Yan was polite, displaying the demeanor of a refined gentleman, and bowed: “My name is Huo Yuhao. It’s a pleasure to meet you all.”

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing watched Xu Yan with curiosity.

After all, his aura was quite captivating.

Not far off, Tailong, Jiangzhu, Jing Ling, and Huang Yuan were also eyeing Xu Yan.

Even the master observing the Shrek Seven Devils, Flander, had noticed Xu Yan.

Xu Yan had undoubtedly drawn everyone’s attention.

Especially Jiangzhu, who was utterly smitten at first sight, her face flushing with a rosy glow.

Xiao Wu warmly introduced: “This is Third Brother Tang San, Fatty Ma Hongjun, Big Brother Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Oscar, Jiangzhu, Tailong, Jing Ling, and Huang Yuan.”

Tang San’s expression grew serious as he saw Xiao Wu so warmly introduce Xu Yan.

Xu Yan sensed Tang San’s hostility toward him.

Looks like he’s jealous.

Look at you, I’m definitely claiming this corner.

Jiangzhu felt a strong liking for Xu Yan, instantly taken with him.

She hurried over: “Yuhao, I’m Jiangzhu.”

Xu Yan nodded and smiled at Jiangzhu.

Although this young lady was not a top beauty, she appeared very sweet, like a younger sister figure, and gave off a well-behaved impression.

This was quite similar to Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong exuded noble elegance, possessing a kind of ethereal beauty.

Seeing that everyone was getting acquainted, Liu Erlong said to Xu Yan: “Yuhao, let’s have a chat.”

Xu Yan nodded and followed Liu Erlong away.

Once Xu Yan left, everyone gathered around Xiao Wu, asking about Xu Yan’s background and how they knew each other.

Tang San watched Xu Yan’s retreating figure, clenching his fist within his sleeve.

From not far away, Xu Yan could sense a murderous aura emanating—Tang San truly bore great enmity toward him.

Liu Erlong brought Xu Yan before Master Yu Xiaogang and Flander.

“Erlong, what’s this about?” Flander looked Xu Yan over carefully, inquiring.

“Xiaogang, Director, this is Huo Yuhao,” Liu Erlong whispered to Yu Xiaogang. “I think this kid is talented and can be admitted to Shrek Academy.”

Yu Xiaogang heard Liu Erlong’s words but did not respond immediately, instead looking at Xu Yan.

Xu Yan bowed slightly: “Greetings, Master, Director.”

Yu Xiaogang waved his hand, signaling he understood, then asked Xu Yan: “You know me?”

“The master of soul spirit theory, who doesn’t know you?” Xu Yan replied aloud, though inwardly he thought, “You’re one of the people I most want to kill.”

Flander said: “Good kid, you must be level forty, right?”

“Yes,” Xu Yan answered honestly.

Liu Erlong said: “I’m taking charge of this. Yuhao, I want to recruit you into Shrek.”

Previously, Liu Erlong had no particular favor toward Xu Yan, but after that one “sister” address, she was sold on him.

“Sister Erlong, isn’t this a bit inappropriate?” Xu Yan asked again.

“Sister?” Yu Xiaogang and Flander exclaimed in surprise.

Liu Erlong blushed slightly and coquettishly said, “Oh, Yuhao, no need to be so formal with sister.”

Xu Yan thought to himself that Liu Erlong had this little quirk—calling her sister was like pressing her weak spot, causing her to collapse instantly.

“You brat, don’t call her that! If you call her sister, are you trying to raise your own status?” Flander was displeased.

Liu Erlong rubbed her fists together and gave Flander a warning look to think carefully before speaking.

Knowing Liu Erlong’s fiery temper, Flander dared not say more.

“Director Flander, just say whether you accept him or not,” Liu Erlong said eagerly.

“If we accept him, we should first understand his identity and background,” Flander felt it might be improper to simply admit him.

“Ask Xiaogang what he thinks.”

He immediately passed the responsibility to Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang felt a bit embarrassed.

“Teacher, Director,” at that moment, Tang San slowly approached, followed by a large group.

Yu Xiaogang and Flander asked, “What is it?”

“Huo Yuhao wants to join Shrek. There should be some kind of ceremony, right?” Tang San said.

Everyone’s attitude toward Xu Yan joining Shrek Academy varied.

Of course, Jiangzhu was very eager for Xu Yan to join.

“Third Brother, what ceremony is needed?” Yu Xiaogang asked sternly.

“Let Zhao Wuji test Huo Yuhao to see if he qualifies to join Shrek Academy,” Tang San said.
