His teammate, Ning Rongrong, was the treasured daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's Sect Master. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School held a transcendent position in the Heaven Dou Empire, and its Sect Master, Ning Fengzhi, was even the current Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire's teacher.
Just Dai Mubai and Ning Rongrong alone could mobilize a certain amount of power from the two great Empires to easily crush Lin Ye.
Furthermore, Tang San, the Son of Fortune of this era, was also Ma Hongjun's teammate. Tang San's father, Tang Ritian, was a Titled Douluo, backed by the Clear Sky Sect.
Their teacher, Yu Xiaogang, although a waste himself, had a father who was the Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
The three super forces known as the Upper Three Sects on the continent were the Clear Sky Sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Heaven Dou and Star Luo, the two great Empires.
It must be said that these people from Shrek were truly blessed; good things always seemed to happen to them.
Their network of connections almost covered the entire continent. Going against them was truly suffocating!
But Lin Ye couldn't give up just like that. He had endured humiliation before because he knew he couldn't afford to provoke these people. However, just because you don't cause trouble doesn't mean others will leave you alone.
What was Shrek's motto? Not daring to cause trouble is mediocrity.
Before, Lin Ye didn't care, because if it didn't concern him, he'd let it be.
But his adoptive parents were murdered, his sister was almost humiliated before she died, and he himself was burned alive.
Now, his heart was filled only with hatred.
And to get revenge, he was still far from strong enough. He had to use every means to strengthen himself, and the Immortal Herb in Tang San's hands was something Lin Ye absolutely had to obtain.
However, snatching the Immortal Herb from Tang San's hands was no ordinary feat.
Fortunately, there was good news: recently, multiple Spirit Hall branch halls in various locations had been attacked, and there were no survivors in any of the attacked Spirit Hall branch halls.
This incident caused a huge uproar on the continent. Spirit Hall was a super force that stood above the Upper Three Sects and the two great Empires. Who had the guts to provoke Spirit Hall?
Most people were just watching the show. But Lin Ye knew that this was Tang Ritian rising up; his son, Tang San, had given him hope for revenge and the destruction of Spirit Hall.
Before, Tang Hao would have to guard Tang San, but at this time, it was no longer necessary.
Because Tang San had already become close with Dugu Bo, the two had become fast friends, their relationship incredibly strong. With Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo, present, Tang Hao dared to leave his son and cause trouble everywhere.
This is good too; it gives me an opportunity.
Lin Ye's thoughts raced, considering feasible plans. Forcibly snatching the Immortal Herb was somewhat unrealistic.
After his resurrection, due to his unique nature as a Soul Ghost, his strength had increased significantly compared to before. Among the Shrek Seven Devils, he could confidently defeat anyone except Tang San.
But trying to openly snatch it right under the noses of that group of people was a bit of a pipe dream.
No, it's not entirely without a chance.
Lin Ye suddenly thought, why must he snatch it head-on? Can't he make them fight among themselves?
He was a ghost now, he could possess others and approach the Shrek Seven Devils using someone else's identity!
When this idea emerged, it was like a cloud parting to reveal the sun, completely opening up Lin Ye's thinking.
Since that was the case, why didn't he directly infiltrate Shrek?
Tang San would absolutely not expect a problem to arise within the Shrek Seven Devils. With a surprise attack, the chances of successfully snatching the Immortal Herb were very high.
So, who should he choose? Lin Ye didn't think for long before deciding on Zhu Zhuqing.
After successfully snatching the Immortal Herb, how to leave safely was also crucial, and Zhu Zhuqing's speed as an agility-attack system Spirit Master could greatly help Lin Ye.
What, you said Zhu Zhuqing wouldn't be willing? Her body was already Lin Ye's; could she refuse?
After deciding on the person, another problem immediately followed.
Lin Ye was unsure when Tang San would return to Shrek Academy, so he had to act early.
However, occupying Zhu Zhuqing's body too early meant his words and actions could easily expose him, especially among the girls. Perhaps when discussing some private topics, Ning Rongrong and that old rabbit might notice something amiss.
Therefore, it would be best for him to understand Zhu Zhuqing's conduct, speech, and demeanor beforehand.
The 'The Cat Substitutes for the Prince' (a story about a civet cat replacing the Crown Prince), a similar situation, was exactly what Qian Renxue was doing. In the early stages, she even disguised herself as a maid and served Xue Qinghe for a good period of time.
All for the sake of perfectly replacing Xue Qinghe.
But Lin Ye couldn't simply copy Qian Renxue's actions, nor could he randomly possess a Shrek Academy student to approach the Shrek Seven Devils.
Not to mention that the Seven Devils were direct descendants, Zhu Zhuqing's original cold personality in the novel also made her not an easy person to approach.
"Meow!"
Just as Lin Ye was deep in thought, a cat's meow by the roadside caught his attention.
Following the sound, he saw a small cat with black fur, covered in dirt.
A flash of inspiration struck Lin Ye: Right, why did he have to approach Zhu Zhuqing in human form?
After realizing this, Lin Ye's gaze towards the black cat immediately turned sinister.
The black cat seemed to sense something, its fur bristling, and it slowly retreated.
However, how could an ordinary cat resist Lin Ye's demonic claws?
In the cat's pair of blue pupils, Lin Ye, a blurry black mist, was reflected, rapidly approaching.
The next moment, Lin Ye transformed into a cloud of black smoke and, as if entering an uninhabited place, entered the black cat's body.
The cat's eyes instantly became dull and vacant.
But this situation only lasted for a moment. Soon, the black cat blinked, and its eyes became much more lively than before.
"Hehehe, Shrek, I'm here!"
Meow!
The black cat took a step, and the next second, it comically fell to the ground, splayed out.
"Tsk, it seems I still need to learn how to walk on four legs first."
It was Lin Ye's first time being a cat, and he couldn't adapt for a while. Every time he spoke to himself, it turned into a series of meows.
Recalling his dog, Wangcai, and its graceful posture and agile steps in his previous life, Lin Ye struggled to roll over and get up. After stumbling a few steps, he managed to stand steady.
Then he slowly and tentatively began to walk, but his movements were extremely uncoordinated; his four legs went their separate ways, as if they had their own ideas, and his tail hung limply.
He hadn't walked many steps before he tumbled awkwardly again, then got up, then fell again, and so on, slowly moving away with an arrogant gait.
According to the original owner's memory, after a day and a night of long travel, Lin Ye finally found Shrek Academy.
The ten-meter-high gate tower, cast from white marble, was not luxurious but very imposing. The plaque on the gate tower bore five gilded characters—Shrek Academy.
Shrek Academy, originally named Lanba Academy, was later given to Flender by Liu Erlong, and thus renamed Shrek Academy.
Outside the main gate of Shrek Academy, Lin Ye watched from afar, his gaze sweeping over the students entering and exiting, searching for Zhu Zhuqing's figure.
When Shrek had gone to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, intending to merge, he had seen those people from a distance, so he knew their appearance.
