Unlock Kamen Riders in Douluo's Way

Yin Xiaoya stared at the five words on the jade tablet—"The Seven Shrek Monsters"—and a wave of understanding washed over him. So that's why they were so excited. These guys revere the Shrek Seven Monsters. I guess their status in this academy is super high. No wonder I could've gotten away with a free meal.

He wasn't surprised Su Xuan was one of them. She's nineteen and already level forty-eight. That's insane! Plus, she's got twin martial souls and hasn't even tapped into the full potential of her top-grade one yet. She could really climb to Tang San's spot if she gets the right opportunities.

Her status explained why the students had doubted him. It's hard for them to believe someone of her standing would just give something so important to a stranger. She probably didn't expect a simple act of kindness to blow up into such a big misunderstanding.

Just as he was thinking about Su Xuan, she appeared.

"What are you doing?!"

Su Xuan strode in, her face radiating anger. The students immediately greeted her with respectful calls of "Senior Sister." But she ignored them, heading straight for Yin Xiaoya.

She'd just finished her report and handed it to Dean Flender when she heard someone was using her Seven Monsters Jade Tablet to freeload around the academy and causing a ruckus. Realizing something was wrong, she rushed over without even saying goodbye to Flender.

By the time she arrived, Yin Xiaoya's fight was over. Despite his victory, he was covered in bruises from the man's relentless attacks. Su Xuan's face darkened.

"Who did this?!"

Everyone lowered their heads, realizing they'd misjudged Yin Xiaoya. He hadn't been lying. They felt ashamed of their earlier hostility. Under Su Xuan's piercing gaze, their eyes shifted to Shi Zhi, the student who'd initiated the fight.

"Shi Zhi! It's you again! How many times have I told you not to meddle in my affairs? This is the first time! Haven't you caused enough trouble already? I'm sure Yin Xiaoya explained the jade tablet. You must have been stalking me, right!? Do you know he's an honored guest of Shrek! Unless I give permission, no one uses my jade tablet! Why can't you use your brain for once?"

Shi Zhi's face flushed. He knew he'd messed up, but he couldn't help himself. Whenever Su Xuan was involved, his brain short-circuited, and he just wanted to impress her. As Su Xuan said, it wasn't the first time. Once, he'd severely beaten someone for badmouthing her.

"Senior Sister... I..."

"You provoked a fight. Seeing you like this, losing, aren't you ashamed? Why aren't you practicing instead of causing trouble?"

Shi Zhi bristled. "Senior Sister, I didn't lose yet! I can still fight him again—"

BOOM!

Before he could finish, Su Xuan punched him, sending him crashing to the ground. This time, no one dared to help him up.

"Fight again? I'm no match for him, what makes you think you are?"

Su Xuan's words stunned everyone. If Su Xuan, a member of the Shrek Seven Monsters, admitted that Yin Xiaoya was superior, he must have held back. Shi Zhi, barely conscious, heard her words and fainted from the shame.

"Take him to the third floor of the Soul Tower for three days of confinement. And everyone here will go to the first floor for the same amount of time!"

Seeing Su Xuan's fiery reaction, Yin Xiaoya understood her anger. It must be tough being a senior sister with all these worries. He also felt sympathy for Shi Zhi. He really turned himself into a pathetic simp.

"I'm sorry you had to deal with this. I should have been more thorough. Let me take you to get healed."

"No need. These bruises will be gone in a couple of days."

"You're meeting someone later. You should get some treatment."

Yin Xiaoya slapped his forehead. "Right, I can't go looking like this, but it's okay. I can handle it myself."

The Dolphi Wizard Ring appeared on his finger, and he pressed it against his chest.

[Dolphi!]

A small magic circle appeared, and a miniature dolphin phantom darted out and merged into his body. Within seconds, his bruises vanished.

Su Xuan watched in amazement. "So, that's what you used to save Pupu? What a magical ability! I could sense your soul power earlier, but it seems there's something else at play."

Yin Xiaoya was surprised. Can people in this world sense magic power? Or is it just Su Xuan? But I don't even have magic power yet, and I can't discuss this with her.

He changed the subject, returning the jade tablet. "I should give this back to you."

"It's fine. I already asked someone to make a VIP card for you." Su Xuan pocketed the tablet. "My business is done. The master's business should be over too. Come with me. I'll take you to the dean's reception room. The banquet should be set."

"Okay, let's go." Yin Xiaoya fell into step beside her.

"Thank you," she said quietly.

"Huh? For what?"

"I know how strong Shi Zhi is. He's no match for you. Thank you for holding back."

Su Xuan wanted to appear fair and serious in front of the others, but she cared about the students. The punch she delivered wasn't for Shi Zhi's injuries, but for show. The kid just passed out because he couldn't handle the pressure.

Yin Xiaoya scratched his head. "It's nothing. I was just annoyed and taught him a lesson. I don't hold grudges, so I wasn't going to hit him hard. Besides, that guy's ability was pretty interesting, and I was enjoying myself. But you're exaggerating, I don't think there's much difference between our strengths."

Su Xuan chuckled. "Don't compliment me so much."

I'm not trying to compliment you! Kamen Riders are about idealism and basic stats that explode in power. Martial Soul cultivation is different. Every level and soul ring is a change. There are gaps. Right now, Yin Xiaoya's strength was similar to hers, but her strength was rising every day. Unless I unlock more Rider powers, she'll leave me in the dust.

They reached the principal's reception room. Yin Xiaoya looked up. This isn't a reception room. It's a freakin' palace! So, Shrek is actually rich in this world.

"Big brother!"

"Brother Xiaoya."

He opened the door to find five people inside. Jing Tieyang, Luo Pupu, and Fang Xin were there, along with an old man and a middle-aged man. The kids ran over to greet him. But it was the old man and the middle-aged man who caught his attention.

"Benefactor, please accept Luo Hong's gratitude!"

Luo Hong, who was over a hundred years old, clasped his fists and bowed to Yin Xiaoya, tears streaming down his face. Luo You followed suit. Yin Xiaoya instinctively reached out to stop Luo Hong, but the old man was like a mountain, impossible to move. This guy is powerful.

Luo Pupu explained the situation.

"Oh, so that's why you're so grateful. You don't need to be so dramatic. I just lifted a finger and didn't put in any effort."

"If it weren't for your benevolence, our Luo family wouldn't have this opportunity for hundreds of years. You saved our family. From today on, you're an honored guest. Please accept these gifts."

Luo You pushed forward a box filled with gold, silver, jewels, and several spiritual plants exuding astonishing soul power. Those have a great effect on the cultivation of soul masters. Fang Xin stared at the plants, especially the dwarf plants, her eyes wide with longing.

For Yin Xiaoya, the gold and silver were more useful than the spiritual plants. I'm not a soul master. What would I need these for? I'd rather ask for some money to improve my life. I'm a real homeless guy. I don't have a place to live. I'm waiting for Su Xuan's VIP card for my next meal.

But I can't accept this. I didn't help Luo Pupu for money. I shouldn't accept any.

Luo Hong, a man who'd seen countless people, noticed Yin Xiaoya's hesitation.

"If you don't accept, I will not afford to wait!"

Seeing the old man still bowing, Yin Xiaoya sighed. "Patriarch Luo, you're misunderstanding. It's not about the money, but I have no use for it. I'm not a soul master. If you insist, it's like you don't want to owe me and want to settle the matter."

"Benefactor, you misunderstand. We don't mean that at all."

"Then please take everything away."

"This... If that's the case, I won't force it."

Luo Hong sighed, had Luo You put away the box, and warmly ushered Yin Xiaoya to a seat.

The door opened again, and a group entered. A middle-aged man with curly hair led the way. He was tall, straight, and exuded a heroic aura. When Yin Xiaoya met his eyes, he felt like he was being watched by an eagle. The black-haired young man beside him had a gentler aura and eyes full of wisdom.

Even though they look different than I imagined, that's gotta be Flender and Master Yu Xiaogang.

Three young people followed behind them, two men and one woman. They radiated pride and confidence. Yin Xiaoya noticed the jade badges they wore, confirming they were also members of the Shrek Seven Monsters.

The blond man strode directly toward Yin Xiaoya, not waiting for Flender or Yu Xiaogang to speak. He was almost two meters tall. He didn't need to look down on Yin Xiaoya to seem imposing.

"Before, some guys calling themselves soul engineers came here with a bunch of scrap metal, claiming they'd replace soul masters. We beat them back to where they came from. Where did you come from? Trying to be listed in history? Spreading some new power? Let me see if this 'Kamen Rider' power is just another pile of scrap metal!"

Yin Xiaoya's eyes widened. Not because I'm offended, but because I just got a big piece of information. The soul engineers from another continent have already shown up in this world? Seriously?! Isn't this Douluo World already fighting with gods? Wait! Does that mean the Body Sect is also here? Damn, if that's the case, I have to figure out how to unlock the Showa Riders to deal with those guys, right?
