Douluo Continent: I can nurture soul beasts and even perform super evolution.

Chapter 47 Main Story Begins

A year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Su Wen's milk tea shop was booming. As business at the main store slowed down, he opened several more branches in the city. The profit dropped to five copper soul coins, but he managed to boost revenue again by increasing volume.

During this time, Jiang Nannan would also help out in her spare time. She wore women's clothing from a convenience store (a cake shop) and had light makeup. However, she managed to earn the title of "Milk Tea Beauty" with her outstanding looks, which helped the main store attract a lot of customers.

Meanwhile, the influence of Jubaoge gradually flowed into the milk tea shop and took over. Su Wen and Elder Lin had already discussed a 70/30 split, with the academy taking 30% of the management fees. Su Wen would be a hands-off manager, taking 70% without lifting a finger.

Inside the golden tree house.

Su Wen let out a long breath.

Feel the golden core circulating within your body, like a spiritual energy pump, flowing through all the meridians of your body, and then forming a cycle.

"Level 38 peak, just one step away from level 39." Feeling the abundant soul power within his body, Su Wen sighed softly.

In less than a year, he broke through to the seventh level, and even reached the Soul Venerable realm. Leveling up is as easy as drinking water. After all, even top talents like Dai Huabin and Ning Tian would have a hard time advancing one level in the Soul Venerable realm without three or four months.

Of course, this is also thanks to his ascetic lifestyle and the cultivation he gained from his three pet beasts devouring flesh and blood after he became rich.

"Back to school season..."

Su Wen stood up, pushed open the wooden window, and the entire Shrek Academy came into view. The most eye-catching thing was a huge blank space - Shrek Square. Behind it were white, yellow, purple and black teaching buildings, corresponding to the first, second and third, fourth, fifth and sixth grades. Further away was the student dormitory building.

At this moment, Su Wen could vaguely see hundreds of people gathered under the white freshman teaching building, their voices clamoring and seemingly reaching this place. Most of them were parents with their children, registering for the exam.

"Roar!"

A low growl came from an old tree outside the window. Hurricane, with one hand clinging to the trunk, said excitedly.

"There are a lot of people in the freshman college building today, don't wander around." Su Wen calmly closed the window.

"Roar..." The hurricane drooped its head and listlessly swung to other trees.

Walking around the perimeter of Poseidon Island, you can feel the salty sea breeze on your face.

Su Wen narrowed his eyes slightly.

If he wasn't mistaken, the main storyline would most likely begin in the next couple of days. A little boy resolutely walked out of the Duke's mansion, taking his first step towards defying fate. According to Jiang Nannan, Bei Bei and Tang Ya would leave the academy today to help Tang Ya obtain her third soul ring.

This was also the first step in Huo Gua's rise to power.

Although he had a neutral attitude towards Tianmeng Ice Silkworm—he wasn't a spirit-type soul master, and the other party probably wouldn't choose him—he still had to attract Ilex. This necromancer's strength and his almost treasure-like knowledge were enough to tempt Su Wen.

"Dean Yan?"

While Su Wen was pondering, she suddenly looked up in surprise and saw the handsome old man standing not far away.

"Hehe, Xiao Wen, have you decided which academy to join?" Yan Shaozhe asked with a smile, even a hint of flattery.

"Martial Soul Department, don't worry, I won't be led astray by the Soul Guidance Department. I'm going to the Star Dou Great Forest now, don't come with me..." Su Wen's lips twitched, he waved his hand, leaving Yan Shaozhe with a dashing back view.

“It will happen naturally~” Yan Shaozhe’s lips curled up.

Only after Su Wen's figure disappeared did he happily head towards the Martial Soul Department teaching building. He needed to give Du Weilun a few words of advice. Although he was safe, he couldn't be sure what kind of "dirty tricks" the other side might use.

……

at the same time.

ducal mansion.

In the grand mansion built of red bricks and white walls, a small, thin figure darted out from an inconspicuous back door. The boy looked back at the Duke's mansion, his eyes filled with resentment. He turned around and kowtowed heavily, saying in a voice only he could hear, "Mother, from now on I will change my surname to Huo, Huo Yuhao!"

Without looking back, he embarked on his journey to the Star Dou Great Forest.

……

Outside Shrek Academy. Two eye-catching gazes drew the attention of many.

Handsome young men and beautiful young women. The young man, dressed in the Foreign Languages ​​Department uniform, with short dark blue hair, had a dashing and youthful face. Coupled with his tall and straight figure, he attracted the attention of many girls from the Foreign Languages ​​Department, and even some newly enrolled female students.

The woman, with a long ponytail, a pretty face, and a lively and cheerful demeanor, held Beibei's arm to assert her dominance.

With her other hand still holding a cup of milk tea, she took a satisfied sip and handed it to Beibei, who looked at her with affection and did not refuse the request to share a straw.

"Strawberry flavor~" Tang Ya's beautiful eyes narrowed into waves, her face full of happiness.

"Um……"

Beibei touched the girl's hair, about to say something, but the smile on her face slowly faded, and her light blue pupils were fixed on the boy not far away.

"Su Wen?"

A hint of suspicion flashed across his face.

He had naturally heard of the latter's reputation in the inner courtyard. He was a prodigy who had recently challenged a Soul King in the dueling arena, beating him black and blue and crushing him despite being two levels above him.

The most terrifying thing is that he was only eleven years old.

The eleven-year-old Soul Master.

Su Wen and he had never had any conflicts, but the boy's invisible aura was enough to make many people feel suffocated, like facing a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast with its sharp edge fully exposed. Even though you know it won't kill you, this invisible sense of oppression is always there...

"Beibei?"

Tang Ya noticed that Bei Bei was acting strangely and looked nervous, so she couldn't help but follow his gaze out of curiosity.

He was a handsome young man with a bright smile.

"What's wrong? Why are you spacing out?" Tang Ya waved her hand in front of Bei Bei's eyes.

"fine……"

Beibei's expression softened considerably; he had been overly sensitive.

"Is this little brother your friend?" Tang Ya stepped forward, pinched Su Wen's cheek, and her eyes lit up: "He's very handsome. How come I've never seen him before? Or is he a freshman from the Foreign Languages ​​Department? Today is the registration season."

"No..." Beibei's pupils dilated in shock.

A chill ran down his spine, and he wanted to step forward to stop him. He knew how terrifying this young man was. If he were to get really angry, even Tang Ya, a peak Great Soul Master, might not be able to withstand a single blow—nor would he.

"..."

Su Wen's face twitched, and he expressionlessly slapped Tang Ya's hand away.

If Tang Ya and Bei Bei hadn't encountered Huo Gua on their journey, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to approach them. After all, the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest was too vast, and the chances of him searching alone were slim. Following behind the two of them would have seemed too shady, so it was better to openly travel together.

Seeing that Su Wen was not angry, Bei Bei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly pulled Tang Ya behind him and asked politely, "Little... cough cough, Su Wen, is there something you need?"

"You're going to hunt soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest?" Su Wen smiled.

“Yes, Xiaoya will break through to the Great Soul Master in a few days, so…” Beibei was stunned, wondering where Su Wen had gotten the information.

"Me too, let's go together."

P.S.: There's one more chapter coming a little later, around 2 PM. I apologize for the recent delays...

Not Niu Beibei, these two are still the original pair.
