Capítulo 35: Chapter 35: The System Tells Me to be a Villain Again
"What? The system, I must have misheard. Did you just say to break up Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing?" Mu Chen exclaimed in disbelief.
"Yes," the system confirmed.
"Are you kidding? Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai are engaged. Are you asking me to persuade one of them to call off the engagement?"
"Host, don't phrase it so harshly. You can also subtly influence them to part ways amicably."
"Amicably? That's easier said than done!"
"Challenges make it interesting. The system kindly reminds you that Zhu Zhuqing currently harbors a strong aversion to Dai Mubai's flirtatious nature. You can exploit that."
Mu Chen glanced at Dai Mubai. Indeed, Dai Mubai often frequented places of ill repute, making it not entirely impossible to drive a wedge between him and Zhu Zhuqing.
"System, what's the reward for completing this task?" Mu Chen asked curiously.
Given the difficulty of the plot task, the rewards must be substantial!
"The system informs the host that if you successfully break up Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, your level will increase by three tiers. If the task fails or is refused, your level will decrease by three tiers."
"Uh!"
Mu Chen was taken aback. This hidden task regarding Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai was one he couldn't refuse. However, the rewards were indeed rich, promising a complete three-level increase in cultivation.
"Host, do you still want to give up on the task?"
"Give up? Why would I? I have no interest in Zhu Zhuqing; I just want to take on this challenging task," Mu Chen replied with a mischievous smile.
The system: "…"
The system was dumbfounded; Mu Chen was not only putting on airs with people but also with the system!
"Principal, Zhao Laoshi."
A melodious voice cut through Mu Chen's thoughts, drawing his attention.
He turned to see another girl approaching them.
The girl was dressed in a simple white long dress, giving her a clean appearance. Her short hair framed her face, and her skin was as tender as a lychee. She had an exquisite face, standing about 1.65 meters tall, with a harmonious figure that exuded an ethereal vibe. She resembled a well-educated noble girl, her warm smile radiating a gentle aura that touched everyone around her.
Mu Chen recognized her instantly; this must be Ning Rongrong.
Before long, Tang San and another young man arrived.
The boy had deep-set eyes, giving him a profound appearance, and his face was handsome and well-proportioned. He wore a nonchalant smile, resembling a charming young nobleman.
There was no doubt that this was Oscar, playfully nicknamed "Sausage Uncle" by the Shrek Seven Monsters.
"Brother, are there any Soul Douluo or Title Douluo level soul masters here?" Xiao Wu leaned in close to Mu Chen, whispering.
"Don't worry, Xiao Wu. Soul Douluo are not found everywhere. Across the entire continent, there are no more than a hundred known Soul Douluo level experts, all maintained by the empires and major powers. As for Title Douluo level experts, combined, there are only about ten in the two empires. The strongest in this academy are merely two Soul Sages," Mu Chen answered quietly.
"That's good," Xiao Wu sighed in relief.
"Rest assured, Xiao Wu. I will never push you into danger," Mu Chen said, looking sincerely at Xiao Wu.
"This year is looking good; we've gained five new little monsters. Alright, these two are our new recruits. Now, please introduce yourselves," Flender said, stepping forward and instructing. He looked to the far left, at Tang San, and said, "Tang San, you go first!"
"My name is Tang San, my martial spirit is Blue Silver Grass, and I am a level twenty-nine Weapon Soul Master."
"I am Dai Mubai, my martial spirit is the Evil Eye White Tiger, and I am a level thirty-seven Battle Soul Zong."
"I am Ma Hongjun, my martial spirit is the Evil Fire Phoenix, and I am a level twenty-seven Battle Soul Master."
"I am Oscar, my martial spirit is Sausage, and I am a level twenty-eight Battle Soul Master."
"I am Ning Rongrong, my martial spirit is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile, and I am a level twenty-six Weapon Soul Master."
"I am Zhu Zhuqing, my martial spirit is the Ghostly Shadow Cat, and I am a level twenty-seven Battle Soul Master."
"I am Xiao Wu, my martial spirit is the Rabbit, and I am a level twenty-nine Battle Soul Master."
"I am Mu Chen, my martial spirit is the Chaos Sword, and I am a level thirty-four Battle Soul Zong!"
"What?"
"Thirty-four? Battle Soul Zong?"
The Shrek Seven Monsters, including Xiao Wu, and Flender and Zhao Wujin, who had previously tested Mu Chen's soul power level, were all shocked to see Mu Chen's rapid rise in strength. In just a few days, he had increased by five or six levels!
**Soul Power +6000 Points**
Due to their astonishment, Mu Chen gained another 6000 emotional points, boosting his soul power further.
Was he bringing in a king of monsters?
Flender adjusted his glasses, increasingly satisfied with Mu Chen. "Mu Chen, Xiao Wu, please go to the finance teacher and pay one hundred gold soul coins."
"Okay." Mu Chen did not refuse. Even though he was being invited to the academy, the tuition of one hundred gold soul coins was still required. Besides, he had the money.
"Alright," Xiao Wu nodded in agreement.
"Mu Chen, Xiao Wu, I need to train the others next. Will you train with them, or do you want to arrange your own training?" Flender asked.
Dai Mubai: "…"
Zhu Zhuqing: "…"
Oscar: "…"
Ning Rongrong: "…"
The four of them looked at Flender in astonishment. They were bewildered by his comments. Shouldn't a student of Shrek Academy train alongside them?
"I'll just watch. Xiao Wu, what about you?" Mu Chen asked.
"I'll stay with you," Xiao Wu replied without hesitation.
Thanks to Mu Chen, Xiao Wu also enjoyed certain privileges. Unless she wanted to, she could refuse any orders or training arranged by Shrek Academy.
"Very well, we'll just watch from the side. Principal, you can treat us as if we don't exist," Mu Chen said, greeting Flender as he and Xiao Wu settled down under a nearby wooden structure.
"Alright, let's begin today's training. Auxiliary soul masters are at great risk on the battlefield when unprotected. Therefore, escaping is an essential skill you all must master. Oscar, Ning Rongrong," Flender called, gesturing for them to step forward. "Twenty laps. If you don't finish before lunch, don't bother coming to eat."
"Yes!"
"What about them?"
Oscar had no objections, but Ning Rongrong was different as she pointed at Mu Chen and Xiao Wu.
"They are our special recruits and do not need to train," Flender said dismissively.
"I refuse. What status do they have? Can they possibly have a stronger background than my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan?" Ning Rongrong scoffed.
**Ding dong!**
"Congratulations! You have triggered the hidden task of the third trial of the Chaos God: Use Thousand Years Kill to teach Ning Rongrong a lesson. Make her aware of the horrors of a special recruit! Completing this task will reward you with the battle skill: Absorb Palm!"
While lounging under the eaves, Mu Chen suddenly heard the system's voice in his mind.
"What? Teach Ning Rongrong a lesson using Thousand Years Kill?" Mu Chen thought in shock.
"He doesn't have any powerful background; he hails from the Imperial Soul Village in Notting City! Becoming a special recruit for the academy is solely because he outshines every one of you!" Flender explained.
"Hmph!" Ning Rongrong retorted. She thought to herself that Mu Chen was not that impressive, his soul power level was still lower than Dai Mubai's. Given her status as the daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, she looked at him with a hint of mockery, saying, "Is he perhaps your illegitimate child?"
"Enough!" Flender barked.
As a member of the Golden Iron Triangle, who had experienced countless battles and bloodshed, Flender's anger radiated, overwhelming Ning Rongrong with an intimidating presence.
"Are you not convinced?" Flender asked, his voice low and serious.
"I'm not convinced," Ning Rongrong responded defiantly.
"Alright, then I'll let you fight him, and you'll see for yourself!" Flender declared.
