"How would I choose?"
Han Ruoru picked up a thick book and lightly tapped Ling Bai's head, looking at him helplessly. "What kind of question is this? I'm not an Evil Soul Master!"
"Alright..."
Ling Bai smiled, but his smile lacked warmth. He had been reading this book to find out if anyone in history had successfully removed the evil nature from an Evil Spirit Soul. If there were any, he could try to learn from them. After all, he couldn't put all his eggs in one basket. Compared to the Death Prison Spider Emperor's Raksha Evil Power, Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Evil Fire was insignificant. If Ilex was also at a loss, it would be troublesome.
"Don't smile like that, it's too cold. If you want to know how I would choose, I'll tell you."
Han Ruoru tapped Ling Bai's head a few more times, looking straight into his eyes with determination.
"If I awakened an Evil Spirit Soul, it would mean fate has given me the right to choose to fall. But I also have the right to refuse to fall. I would spend my entire life fighting against the Evil Spirit Soul.
As long as I don't betray my soul, even with an Evil Spirit Soul, I will always be a clean person."
"Mm-hm."
Ling Bai nodded slowly. He, too, was unwilling to fall. Otherwise, with the Death Prison Spider Emperor's blood soul, he might have already broken through to level 70 if he had killed without restraint.
"Let's go, I'll treat you to a meal, Senior Sister."
Han Ruoru stood up, putting a stack of books she hadn't finished reading and Ling Bai's *Chronicles of the Continent's Evil Soul Masters* into her silver earring, which was her storage Soul Conductor Device. She walked ahead, leaving Ling Bai behind, clearly a bit upset that he was reading this "evil book."
"Senior Sister, let me treat you."
Ling Bai followed with a bitter smile. He could provoke her, but he could also endure it. And since Han Ruoru was willing to take him out for a meal, she couldn't be too angry.
The two walked out of the library, and a cool breeze greeted them, refreshing without being cold.
The vast Sea God Lake shimmered under the sunlight, draped in a golden hue, and the waves rhythmically lapped against the shore.
Ling Bai walked beside Han Ruoru, glancing over and noticing that she was in a better mood, her lips curved into a gentle and warm smile, as if she had already forgotten her earlier displeasure.
Indeed, Han Ruoru simply didn't want Ling Bai to waste his thoughts on what to do if he awakened an Evil Spirit Soul. She still liked this little junior brother very much.
Today was one of the happiest days she had had in recent years. Zhang Lexuan, Wu Ming, Hua Yao... all her book companions had "abandoned" her. It had been far too long since anyone had accompanied her to the library.
While reading alone in the historic library was a beautiful experience, Han Ruoru preferred the company.
"Luochen, Luochen, open the door!"
A pleading voice came from ahead. Ling Bai and Han Ruoru looked over to see a dark, muscular man bent over, knocking on a door, carrying a bunch of miscellaneous items.
"Hm?"
Ling Bai leaned back slightly and asked Han Ruoru, "Is that Ling Luochen's place? Is this guy... pursuing Ling Luochen?"
"You guessed right. The guy is Qian Fufu, the adopted son of Soul Conductor Department Deputy Dean Qian Duoduo. He fell in love with Ling Luochen at first sight and has been pursuing her for the past two years." Han Ruoru's expression was a bit odd. "But the things he's carrying... how to put it... quite... um..."
Han Ruoru couldn't find the right word, so Ling Bai quietly finished her sentence for her:
"Quite creative."
"Yes, quite creative." Han Ruoru agreed, finding it very fitting.
A large red rose bouquet with baby's breath, a rose gold Soul Conductor Cannon, and a matching Soul Conductor Propulsion Device...
Ling Bai wasn't close to Ling Luochen and didn't know what she liked, but sending a Shrek Academy Soul Conductor Device to a Wu Soul System student... he was asking for a beating!
Ling Bai and Han Ruoru walked openly, making no effort to hide. Qian Fufu naturally noticed them and quickly hid the roses and Soul Conductor Device behind his back, whistling and looking up at the sky, trying to act as if he hadn't done anything.
"Little junior brother, let's hurry up and go." Han Ruoru was amused by Qian Fufu.
"Sure."
Ling Bai didn't have the cruel interest in watching strangers make fools of themselves and quickened his pace with Han Ruoru.
As they walked away, Qian Fufu heaved a sigh of relief and continued knocking on the door, pitifully saying, "Luochen, open the door, I made this Soul Conductor Device specially for
you!"
"Get lost!"
Ling Luochen's cold voice echoed from inside, and a chill swept through the door crack, instantly freezing the once vibrant roses, much like Qian Fufu's heart.
He glanced at the still closed door, sighed deeply, and left dejectedly. "Senior Sister, this doesn't seem like the way to the cafeteria, does it?"
A few minutes after passing Ling Luochen's place, Ling Bai suddenly spoke.
He was a freshman, but that didn't make him directionally challenged!
They were almost at the edge of Sea God Island!
"Who told you we were going to the cafeteria?" Han Ruoru asked, puzzled.
Ling Bai blinked. "Eating... not going to the cafeteria?"
"Senior Sister said she would treat you to a meal. How can I treat you if the Inner Academy cafeteria is free?" Han Ruoru poked Ling Bai's head. "Of course, we're going to Shrek
Academy City!"
Ling Bai straightened his head. "Shrek Academy City? I was too busy on the way here and haven't had the chance to explore this city, which rivals the capital of the empire."
"I'll take you for a walk."
Han Ruoru smiled. "Many students focus solely on their cultivation and never visit Shrek Academy City, even until graduation. Senior Sister doesn't want you to have any regrets."
"Then I'll have to trouble Senior Sister to be my guide again."
"Sure thing."
In terms of prosperity, Shrek Academy City was unparalleled in the entire Douluo Continent.
The city was bustling with vendors selling all sorts of goods, and the streets were crowded
with people.
"Crispy chicken wings, free if you don't like them!"
"Zhang's soup buns, thin skin, large filling, plenty of juice, delicious, come and try!"
"Candied haws, just one copper coin per skewer! Students, try some!"
The sounds of vendors calling out to customers never ceased. At street corners, various performers and entertainers gathered crowds of adults and children.
Enthusiastic shop assistants tried to lure customers inside with flattery and sweet talk.
The streets were filled with Outer Academy students in various Shrek Academy uniforms, enjoying the food during their free time. Many vendors had gathered in Shrek Academy City to cater to the students.
As Ling Bai and Han Ruoru walked by, the Outer Academy students, who already considered themselves quite impressive, made way for them, recognizing their blood-red Inner
Academy uniforms.
In Shrek Academy City, Inner Academy students were at the top. Everyone made way for them, but Ling Bai and Han Ruoru weren't arrogant. They smiled and
nodded politely to the Outer Academy students who greeted them. Every student who saw their smiles blushed with excitement, hoping to one day enter the Inner Academy. They bought quite a few things, mostly snacks. Han Ruoru kept her word and didn't let Ling Bai spend a single copper soul coin. Initially, Ling Bai wanted to return the favor, but Han Ruoru, with her far superior Soul Power, firmly held his hand down.
After a few times, Ling Bai decided not to embarrass himself and happily enjoyed the treats provided by his senior sister.
After an hour of wandering through Shrek Academy City and tasting various delicious snacks, they gradually slowed down, looking for a proper restaurant for lunch.
The Little Elephant Noodle Shop.
A small restaurant caught their attention, not because of its name, but because of a blue
crystal ball on a table next to the door.
"Azure Crystal," Ling Bai said. "It originates from the Sun Moon Continent, a rare metal with good Soul Power conductivity. Due to its fragility compared to other metals, it's not suitable for making offensive Soul Conductor Devices, but it's often used to make Soul Power testers."
"Oh?"
Han Ruoru walked over and noticed a line of small text under the crystal ball.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"This crystal ball can display your Soul Power in numbers, and that's all. As human beings, we
should first be kind, then honest, and only then focus on cultivating our Soul Power."
