Chapter 1: Shrek? Even dogs wouldn't go to
Douluo Continent.
Inside the Soto City Junior Soul Master Academy,
a graduation ceremony was underway.
"Dean Flender, look!
This is our most outstanding student, Qin Ming."
As he spoke, a white-bearded, gray-robed elder pulled a handsome young man toward him.
The elder was the dean of the Soto City Junior Soul Master Academy, and it was he who had recommended Qin Ming to Flender.
Qin Ming, thrust into the spotlight, felt somewhat helpless.
"I traveled here three days ago and just now gathered my thoughts.
I thought I was just attending a graduation ceremony today, but who could have imagined running into Flender here?
And the dean is recommending me to jump into the pit of Shrek..."
Though a little annoyed, Qin Ming still clasped his fists and greeted Flender.
Noticing Qin Ming's gesture, Flender felt a flicker of elation.
"At only 12 years old, he's already reached level 29 in soul power.
This promising young man must be conned... and recruited to the academy."
Despite his deep desire, Flanders feigned indifference. "
Qin Ming, you've already reached level 29 soul power at the age of twelve, barely meeting our academy's admissions standards.
Remember, our academy has five Soul King-level soul masters.
I'm even a Soul Emperor.
Hurry and pay the registration fee.
Then you can join our academy."
As he spoke, Flanders extended his hand toward Qin Ming.
"Sorry, I don't have any money."
Faced with Flanders's expectant gaze, Qin Ming simply spread his hands.
He wasn't the ignorant Qin Ming of the original novel.
As a time traveler, how could he possibly be willing to jump into the trap of Shrek?
Ignoring Flanders's increasingly grim expression, Qin Ming pondered.
"Who could have imagined that I would actually travel to the body of a character with the same name as me in Douluo Continent?
And twenty years before the story begins...
But then again,
it's a shame for the original.
He possessed the top-tier martial spirit, the Fiery Wolf, yet was tricked into the fledgling Shrek Academy.
Although Flanders highly valued Qin Ming
, Shrek Academy lacked cultivation resources, a simulated training ground, or professional teachers.
This prevented the original body's talents from being fully developed.
Ultimately, this first-rate talent among commoners regretfully withdrew from the scene...
Just as Qin Ming was pondering, Flanders' voice rang out again.
"Wouldn't you reconsider?
You know, Yu Xiaogang, the master of martial arts theory, is my good brother.
If you join us at Shrek, I can go find him and let him plan your path..."
Qin Ming's face darkened when he heard Flanders mention Yu Xiaogang.
"Let's not talk about what Flanders and the others did to the original body, but I know exactly what Yu Xiaogang is.
He was weak, his theories were nonsense, and he used his disciples as experimental subjects...
In the original novel, the original body didn't receive proper training during his prime years of growth.
Yet, even so, at the age of 32, he reached level 62, becoming the youngest Soul Emperor on Douluo Continent besides Bibi Dong and Tang Hao. Finally, he
reached the Soul Douluo realm around the age of 40."
But such a person, in the end, died on the battlefield for Shrek Academy.
Until the original body's relics were returned.
As the administrator of Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang, did not even feel the slightest bit of sadness.
He was even too lazy to say a word of comfort...
Thinking of this, Qin Ming spoke again.
"I'm sorry, Dean Flanders, I have no plans to join the academy for the time being."
Hearing this, Flanders's previously calm expression could no longer be maintained.
Noticing Flanders' expression, Qin Ming frowned slightly.
"Flanders is a Soul Emperor-level soul master, so we still have to give him some face." Thinking of this, Qin Ming bowed slightly to Flender.
"Senior, I'm delighted to have you invite me.
However, I haven't yet decided on my future plans.
I still need to think about which academy to attend..."
Flender's expression brightened slightly after hearing Qin Ming's words.
Then, Flender folded his hands behind his back and said calmly,
"Okay, if you've made up your mind, feel free to come find me."
He ignored Qin Ming and addressed the crowd nearby.
"Anyone else interested in joining our academy? Come up."
Seeing Flender's annoyance, Qin Ming quietly retreated to the back of the crowd and waited patiently.
After the graduation ceremony finally concluded, Qin Ming quietly followed the crowd out of the academy gates.
Only then did Qin Ming relax.
Looking up at the sky, his face etched with distress.
"I've only been here a few days and I've encountered this mess...
Shrek? Even
a dog wouldn't go there!"
Qin Ming pouted and slowly followed the crowd toward the main street of Soto City.
His thoughts drifted away.
In his previous life, Qin Ming was just an ordinary blogger.
Because a character in Douluo Continent shared his name, Qin Ming became deeply interested in the novel.
He even created a timeline.
Because of this, even after traveling to Douluo Continent without obtaining a system,
Qin Ming remained confident that he could seize opportunities within the continent and help him achieve godhood.
"This year is Douluo calendar year 2621. Tang Hao has just left the Haotian Sect.
Next year, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao will meet the Blue Silver Emperor, A Yin.
Can I profit from this?
Or should I simply expose the matter and cut off Tang San's path to God King status at the source?
Furthermore, in this year, 26-year-old Bibi Dong will give birth to the future Angel God, Qian Renxue..."
After a moment of silent reflection,
Qin Ming reaffirmed his decision.
"Let's not talk about Flanders's attitude towards my original self, but the educational resources there are truly subpar.
This time, I definitely won't waste my time with him."
As he pondered, Qin Ming arrived at the entrance to the Spirit Hall in Soto City.
Looking at the magnificent building before him, Qin Ming's thoughts raced.
'The Spirit Hall, as the greatest power in Douluo Continent,
possesses the most profound heritage, the finest training grounds, and the most suitable training methods for talented individuals...
and more importantly, there's little prejudice against ordinary spirit masters.
Anyone with talent can receive the best training here.
Furthermore, in this day and age, the benefits of whale glue haven't yet been discovered.
Even so, a single unit of whale glue is expensive.
The money my original body saved up wouldn't be enough to purchase a single unit of high-quality whale glue.
I must find a way to secure some money from the Spirit Hall and use it to purchase some high-quality whale glue.'
With this thought, Qin Ming walked towards the Spirit Hall entrance.
After a brief exchange with the guard at the entrance
, he silently followed him inside.
A few minutes later,
a middle-aged man in a white silk robe appeared before Qin Ming.
Upon seeing him, the guard leading Qin Ming bowed.
"Greetings, Bishop Kelin."
"Yes."
Kelin nodded at the guard, then turned his gaze towards Qin Ming.
Seeing this, Qin Ming also clasped his fists towards the other party and said,
"I am Qin Ming, and I am honored to meet Bishop Kelin."
