"Are you kidding me? This is the so-called Soul Master Academy, the one that claims its graduates can become viscounts!" Sharing Ning Rongrong's skepticism were other parents of students who had come to enroll.
One boy's father said uncertainly, "This was said by the people from Spirit Hall, so it shouldn't be wrong, right? But this academy is just too dilapidated."
The boy kept complaining to his father, "Dad, I don't want to study here, it's too embarrassing. I'd rather go to Soto Intermediate Soul Master Academy. At least I was a genius when I was at the primary Soul Master Academy."
"Now that we're already here, let's just wait and see. Maybe this is just a test, and the real academy isn't here," the boy's father could only say to comfort him.
Similar sentiments were definitely common in the queue. Most of the teenagers and their parents had disappointed expressions on their faces. Ning Rongrong had learned a bit about reading people's expressions from Tianlin after following him for so long.
She noticed that, besides her, there were three other people in the crowd who were not simple. Their expressions didn't change at all.
They were a couple standing three positions behind her, and a girl standing at the end of the line. Tianlin had taught her not only the Drunken Immortal Gazing at the Moon Step, but also the perception methods of Mount Shu, so her perception of soul power was extremely sharp. The soul power these people possessed was only slightly inferior to hers. If these people also joined this academy, then she would start to believe that this academy indeed had the capital to contend with the Spirit Hall Academy.
The person in charge of registration was an old man in his sixties, lazy and dressed very plainly, looking no different from an ordinary villager. However, Ning Rongrong still sensed that the soul power within this old man was considerable, at least Soul King or above.
To have a Soul King or higher expert in charge of registration, nothing else needed to be said, the teaching staff of this academy must be strong.
At this moment, a young man came to the table to register. The old man lazily said, "The registration fee is ten Gold Soul Coins, just put it in that box."
The boy's accompanying father hurriedly took out ten Gold Soul Coins and put them into a box made of several wooden planks nailed together.
"Hold out one hand."
The boy did as he was told and held his hand out to the old man. The old man pinched his hand a couple of times and shook his head at him, saying, "Your age doesn't meet the requirements, you can leave."
The boy was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at his father, obviously hoping his father would speak up for him.
His father hurriedly smiled ingratiatingly, "Teacher, my son just had his thirteenth birthday, you see, can you make an exception?"
The old man said a little impatiently, "Don't affect the students behind you, hurry up and leave."
Seeing how fierce he was, the father had no choice but to try to get his registration fee back, but he was rejected by the old man.
"Dai Mubai, someone wants their registration fee back, deal with it!" the old man called out lazily.
A handsome young man jumped down from a tree, "If you want your registration fee back, beat me, and it will be fully refunded."
As he spoke, three Spirit Rings, yellow, yellow, and purple, rose beneath his feet.
The appearance of thousand-year Spirit Rings made the father and son dare not cause any more trouble, and they could only run away in disgrace.
"This guy is probably only two or three years older than my Sword Brother, judging from the soul power fluctuations on his body, he's around level thirty-seven, not as good as Sword Brother of course, but among the younger generation, he's probably one in a million," Ning Rongrong thought to herself.
If the members of the Royal Fight Team hadn't eaten Immortal Herbs, their aptitude would probably be inferior to this Dai Mubai.
Seeing the troublemakers leave, the old man, in order to save time, stood up and said loudly, "We are called Shrek Academy here. Shrek, that is, monster, only accepts monsters, not ordinary people, is the purpose of our academy. Anyone over the age of twelve, or whose soul power has not exceeded level twenty-one, should not continue to waste time!"
Afterwards, the old man's entire aura erupted, and a long staff appeared in his hand. Six Spirit Rings, one white, one yellow, three purple, and one black, rose up. Ning Rongrong immediately knew that her guess was still conservative. This old man was not a Soul King at all, but a Soul Emperor.
"Interesting!" Ning Rongrong revealed a little devilish smile, stepped forward, paid the registration fee, and held out a hand.
The old man probed slightly, revealing a surprised expression.
"Excuse me, have I passed the preliminary test?" Ning Rongrong said with a sweet smile.
Her appearance immediately attracted the attention of the lecherous tiger Dai Mubai. Seeing Dai Mubai's lecherous look, the girl who was originally at the back of the line frowned and couldn't help clenching her fists.
"Did your family know you came here?" The old man put away the surprise on his face and asked.
"It's said that education should be available to all, regardless of background. As long as I meet the academy's requirements, you have no reason to reject me, right?" Ning Rongrong didn't answer directly, but instead asked a rhetorical question.
This made the old man smile in understanding. She was right, they were just an academy, not a sect. There was no reason to reject a student who already qualified. So, he instructed Dai Mubai to take Ning Rongrong to the side.
Soon, it was the turn of the pair of young people Ning Rongrong had noticed earlier. They were none other than the original protagonists, Tang San and Xiao Wu.
After testing and confirming that their ages met the requirements, the two released their Spirits: Blue Silver Grass and Soft Bone Rabbit.
Neither of these were considered particularly powerful Spirits, but the speed of their cultivation was truly surprising to the old man. However, wasn't this exactly in line with the standards of their monster academy?
If he was surprised, then the other person hiding in the shadows was shocked. Yin Yang stared dumbfounded at Xiao Wu. He hadn't noticed her before, but the moment she released her Spirit, her aura was unmistakable.
"This little girl is actually a 100,000-year Soul Beast in human form. I was only here to protect the little princess, but I didn't expect such an unexpected gain." Yin Yang was so excited that he wanted to act immediately.
A 100,000-year Soul Beast in human form represented more than just a 100,000-year Spirit Ring, but also a 100,000-year Spirit Bone.
Ning Fengzhi was now at level eighty-something. If he absorbed this Soft Bone Rabbit for his ninth Spirit Ring in the future, he would definitely obtain a very powerful ninth Spirit Skill. Or, he could save it for Xiao Tian in the future. Either way, their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would definitely greatly increase in strength.
But just as he was about to make his move, an even more terrifying aura locked onto him, actually making Yin Yang, a Titled Douluo, unable to move.
"Who is it?" Yin Yang looked around, but didn't find anyone. This showed how terrifying the strength of the person was, far surpassing him.
"It seems that there are other strong people eyeing this Soft Bone Rabbit, but a 100,000-year Soul Beast can't be easily let go of, no matter what." Seeing that Ning Rongrong had already entered Shrek Academy, he figured that she wouldn't encounter any danger for the time being. Yin Yang then planned to leave to find reinforcements. If he couldn't beat it himself, he would find Chen Xin to come.
A 100,000-year Soul Beast was the number one dream of all Soul Masters, and he was determined to have it!
