"For the art of woodcarving, the first thing to do is to concentrate on it..." The woodcarving master taught Ye Xun the essence of the art while swinging the carving knife in his hand. Time flies, and a year has passed in a flash. Ye Xun has become able to skillfully carve various lifelike small animal woodcarvings, and even cleverly incorporates the images of cartoon characters on Earth into them, which is deeply loved by everyone in the town.

When Ye Xun was 13 years old, his wood carving skills had reached perfection. With his extraordinary concentration and mental strength, he was able to carve figures into vivid wood, as if giving them life. Ye Xun's first work was a carefully carved wood portrait of the orphanage's director. The director looked at the lifelike work with tears of joy in her eyes.

By the time he was 15, Ye Xun's woodcarving skills had surpassed his mentor, Mr. Woodcarving. Seeing this, Mr. Woodcarving assured Ye Xun to take care of the store. All the woodcarvings displayed in the store were Ye Xun's masterpieces. He even carved out the vivid cartoon characters and mythological characters in his mind one by one. Each group of woodcarvings carried their own stories. For a time, Ye Xun's reputation as a woodcarving master spread throughout Wuhun City, and everyone knew him.

One day, several unfamiliar customers walked into Ye Xun's shop. Ye Xun did not look up, but focused on the wood carving in his hand, and said lightly: "Welcome, you can choose the works you like at will, and if you have special needs, you can also customize them. Usually it can be completed within three days. If you need it urgently, it can be delivered within one day."

"Xiao Wu, take a look at these wood carvings. Is there any that you like?" one of them said.

"Third brother, what do you think of this?" another person responded.

When he heard these two names, the carving knife in Ye Xun's hand trembled violently. With a "swish" sound, not only was the wood carving damaged, but his hand was also cut.

However, he seemed not to feel any pain, but just looked up and stared at the people who came in. This group of people was the famous Shrek Seven Devils.

According to the time calculation, they should come here to participate in the All-Continent Spirit Master Competition. It's a pity that Ye Xun is no longer in the Spirit Hall, and Shrek Academy will definitely win the championship.

Ye Xun shook his head slightly. These honors had nothing to do with him. He was 15 years old now, but his soul power was only at level 15. Compared with the Shrek Seven Devils, he couldn't even reach their backs.

"These wood carvings are so beautiful. I really want to buy them all. Shopkeeper, oh, shopkeeper, your hand seems to be injured." Ning Rongrong said with concern.

"It's okay, this little injury is nothing." Oscar handed over a large recovery sausage, "Eat this, the wound will heal quickly."

Ye Xun took the sausage and ate it. His wound healed quickly. He looked at Oscar gratefully, then turned to Ning Rongrong and said, "You have a good eye. I spent a lot of effort to carve these wood carvings. You should be here to participate in the Soul Master Competition, right?"

“Yes, although we are young, we have defeated many strong players from other academies. Our Shrek Academy will definitely win the championship this time.” Ning Rongrong said proudly.

"Thank you for healing my wounds just now, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to complete the order on time." Ye Xun said, taking down a beautiful little wooden sculpture from the shelf and handing it to them, "I carved this little Qilin specially for you. It symbolizes auspiciousness and good luck. I hope it can bring you good luck and help you win the championship."

"Then I'll take advantage of the good words from the shop owner. If I really win, I'll come to buy all your wood carvings." Ning Rongrong took the wood carving with a smile. Afterwards, each of the Shrek Seven Devils picked a favorite wood carving and returned home with a full load.

Watching their departing backs, Ye Xun sat down again, picked up the carving knife, and continued to immerse himself in the world of wood carving.

Afterwards, the good news of Shrek Academy winning the championship quickly spread throughout the entire Wuhun City. However, after Ye Xun heard the news, he did not feel too much of a stir.

The fierce battles between those soul masters no longer had anything to do with him, a waste with only half-level innate soul power.

At this moment, the door of the store creaked and was slowly pushed open, and Oscar and Ning Rongrong walked in. Ye Xun looked up and saw that both of them had an indescribable look of sadness on their faces.

Ye Xun asked with some curiosity: "I remember you mentioned last time that you are from Shrek Academy, right? I also heard that your academy won the championship a few days ago, but why do you two still seem so worried?"

Oscar responded solemnly, "Because something unexpected happened, the seven people from Shrek Academy left and scattered, leaving only the two of us."

Ning Rongrong also added: "I promised before that once I win the championship, I will buy all the wood carvings in your shop. I, Ning Rongrong, never break my promise."

Ye Xun smiled and carefully packed all the wood carvings in the store and handed them to Oscar. Oscar took the wood carvings and asked in a low voice: "Shopkeeper, if the two of us order a pair of wood carvings and make them quickly, how long will it take?"

Ye Xun waved his hand and said with a smile: "One of you treated my injury, and the other one took care of my business. There is no need to talk about money. Just come and get it tomorrow morning." Oscar was grateful and thanked him repeatedly.

The next morning, Oscar came to Ye Xun's shop early, holding the wood carvings of him and Ning Rongrong in his hands, overjoyed. After expressing his gratitude to Ye Xun again, he left happily.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye Ye Xun is already thirty years old. His soul power has been silent since it broke through to level twenty-nine last year.

Five years ago, the Spirit Hall was feared by all and announced the establishment of the Spirit Empire. The original Spirit City underwent a magnificent transformation and became the shining pearl of the empire.

However, the good times did not last long. Tang San led the Shrek Seven Devils to defeat the Spirit Hall in one fell swoop, and then ascended to the God Realm alone. The Spirit City also gradually withered in the wind and rain due to the destruction of the Spirit Hall.

In the following years, the rest of Shrek also embarked on the journey to the divine realm.

During this period, Oscar and Ning Rongrong visited Ye Xun's shop and sincerely invited him to go to Shrek Academy to carve immortal statues for the original Seven Monsters to commemorate that glorious time.
