"Of course!"
Upon hearing Xiao Feng's words, Qinglin didn't hesitate at all. She immediately took out a pen and paper from her spatial ring and meticulously transcribed the training content of the Green Snake True Sutra and its associated secret techniques, word for word, without any mistakes.
Ever since Xiao Feng had complimented Qinglin's snake scales, she had viewed him as her ideal. Not to mention giving him an earth-tier cultivation method and secret techniques—if Xiao Feng had asked her to accompany him in bed right now, she wouldn't hesitate in the slightest.
After Qinglin finished transcribing the Green Snake True Sutra, Xiao Feng picked it up and compared it to his own Nine Transformations of the Swirling Dragon.
Judging from the training content recorded in the Green Snake True Sutra, its intricacies were no less impressive than the Nine Transformations of the Swirling Dragon. It was indeed a genuine earth-tier cultivation method.
Moreover, the Green Snake True Sutra was very suitable for Qinglin's cultivation. As her strength improved, this method would continuously enhance her bloodline power, making her Green Snake's Triple Jade-flower Eyes even more powerful.
As for the three secret techniques passed down to Qinglin by the Triple Jade-flower Revered One, they were the Ten Thousand Snakes Formation, Life-substitution of the Spirit Snake, and Spirit Snake Perception.
The Ten Thousand Snakes Formation was an exceptionally rare formation technique that allowed a group of snake magical beasts to form a specific battle array to attack enemies, amplifying their power beyond simple addition.
Life-substitution of the Spirit Snake was a life-saving technique. It allowed a cultivator who had awakened the Green Snake's Triple Jade-flower Eyes to transfer damage to enslaved snake magical beasts when attacked.
Spirit Snake Perception was a sensory technique that could enhance the connection between the cultivator and the snake magical beasts.
After Qinglin enslaved the snake magical beasts using her Green Snake's Triple Jade-flower Eyes, she could already vaguely sense their thoughts, but that perception was rather blurry.
If Qinglin mastered Spirit Snake Perception, she could directly share her snake pets' senses and use them as scouts.
"Qinglin, it's getting late. We won't disturb your rest anymore. Let's talk more tomorrow."
After reviewing the cultivation methods and secret techniques, Xiao Feng patted Qinglin's head and then called for the Little Medical Fairy to leave.
Since Qinglin's cultivation was only at the sixth stage of Dou Disciple, she wasn't qualified to practice the Green Snake True Sutra yet. Calming her excitement, she obediently closed her eyes and went to sleep.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss..."
The enslaved snake pets flicked their tongues and slithered to the corners of the room, silently standing guard.
——
The next morning
After enjoying a hearty breakfast with the Little Medicine Fairy and the others, Xiao Feng once again set off for Storm Gorge to begin a new round of grueling training.
Time passed unnoticed in cultivation, and before long, more than ten days had flown by. The system's simulation count had gone from 0 to 1.
Xiao Feng immediately stopped cultivating, left Storm Gorge, and entered a temporary cave dwelling he had created nearby.
"Begin simulation!"
"Ding! Randomly selecting the simulation world..."
As Xiao Feng's thoughts activated the sixth simulation, the selection text box slowly revealed four characters: Douluo Continent!
"Ding! Please choose your simulation mode!"
[Text Projection Simulation (No Cost)]
[Body Projection Simulation (Cost: 800 Merit Points)]
"Nice!"
Seeing that the simulation world selected was the renowned Douluo Continent, Xiao Feng couldn't help but smile.
Even though Douluo Continent was often called "the fantasy paving stone," it still represented a fantasy world, which was far superior to martial arts worlds like Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils and The Legend of Qin.
No child cries every day, no gambler loses every day!
All in!
Go all in!
Without hesitation, Xiao Feng chose the [Body Projection Simulation].
——
"Bang!"
With a familiar thud, Xiao Feng felt a moment of dizziness. When he regained his senses, he was already in a small forest.
"Give me my money back! Damn it, give me my money back..."
Before Xiao Feng could observe his surroundings, he vaguely heard some noisy protests.
???
Xiao Feng looked confused, instinctively following the direction of the voices.
Soon, Xiao Feng emerged from the small forest and saw a small village ahead.
At the village entrance, a crowd had gathered—mostly parents with their children.
In front of the village gate stood a worn-out table, behind which sat an elderly man with white hair.
However, what drew the most attention was the dilapidated sign hanging over the archway at the village entrance, bearing the five characters: "Shrek Academy."
At that moment, several male parents were surrounding the elderly man, protesting angrily.
"Mu Bai, someone wants their registration fee back. Handle it."
The white-haired elder glanced disdainfully at the troublemaking parents, clearly having dealt with such situations many times before.
As soon as the elder finished speaking, a tall, handsome blonde youth leapt out from the crowd.
{Ding! Congratulations, host, for encountering the storyline character 'Dai Mu Bai,' triggering the random projection task—Brothers at Odds!}
The moment Xiao Feng saw the blonde youth, a system prompt echoed in his ears.
{Ding! Task content: Help Dai Mu Bai kill Davis. Task reward: Extra lottery draw.}
"..."
Xiao Feng was momentarily taken aback before he understood.
The inheritance system of the Star Luo Empire was extremely cruel. Each generation of princes had to kill each other, and only the last survivor could inherit the throne.
Thus, it was only natural to trigger a fratricidal mission when encountering Dai Mu Bai.
Dai Mu Bai swept his pair of ominous, heterochromatic eyes over the protesting parents and sneered, "You want your registration fee back? Fine. If you can defeat me, I'll refund you in full!"
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."
As a surge of powerful soul force emerged, three spirit rings—two yellow and one purple—floated beneath Dai Mu Bai's feet.
"These are... spirit rings?"
Seeing this, Xiao Feng's sword-like eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a contemplative expression.
"Forget it... we're just unlucky..."
Staring at the three spirit rings circling Dai Mu Bai, the parents, though frustrated, could only leave with their children in dejection.
The law of the jungle ruled Douluo Continent as well—strength prevailed, and the weak were prey.
Seeing this, the remaining parents in line couldn't help but whisper among themselves, and soon, a third of them left with their children.
After all, the registration fee for Shrek Academy wasn't cheap. Ten gold soul coins were enough to support an average family of three for months. No one wanted to be scammed.
