The group chatted along the way and soon arrived at the dormitory area.
What greeted their eyes was an elegantly designed circular complex of buildings, about a kilometer away from the main teaching building.
These student apartments were exquisite and beautiful in appearance, forming a stark contrast to the simple and dilapidated dormitories for the work-study students.
As for dormitory assignments, as Shrek Academy Outer Court students, Fang Yang and the other six each had their own independent room.
Stepping inside the dormitory, although the decor couldn't be called luxurious, all kinds of facilities were readily available.
Each dormitory was equipped with functional areas such as a kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, Cultivation room, workshop, and living room.
"Wow, this is too luxurious!" Tang Wulin couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Seeing this, Xie Xie couldn't resist teasing, "Wu Lin, can you not be so uncultured and make such a fuss?"
He stood with his arms crossed, looking like someone who had seen it all.
Tang Wulin scratched his head sheepishly, "Uh... I haven't seen anything like this before."
Xu Xiaoyan looked around and praised, "This dormitory is even more luxurious than what Eastsea Academy prepared for us."
"It's indeed very good," Gu Yue also nodded slightly in agreement.
Seeing this, Fang Yang smiled and played mediator, "Alright, Young Master Xie, and Young Master Zhang, Young Master Wang, you all come from prominent Families. Wu Lin and I are just children from ordinary Families."
"This..."
Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi fell into thought upon hearing this.
Fang Yang was indeed right; compared to Fang Yang and Tang Wulin, their Family backgrounds were indeed much more superior.
Xie Xie asked unconvinced, "What about Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan?"
Gu Yue gave Xie Xie a cold glance, "Shut up."
Her eyes held a clear warning.
Xu Xiaoyan also turned to Xie Xie, revealing a sweet smile, "You don't want to be grounded on the spot, do you?"
Although her tone was gentle, the implied threat in her words immediately silenced Xie Xie.
"That's different."
Fang Yang said calmly with a smile, "I have a sensitive stomach, so I like to eat soft food."
"Fang Yang, you..."
Xie Xie still wanted to say something.
"Slap!"
Wu Changkong had already delivered a swift and decisive hand chop to Xie Xie's head.
"Ah, that hurts!"
Xie Xie clutched his head and wailed, looking at Wu Changkong with a wronged expression, "Teacher Wu, why did you hit me?"
"You deserved it," Wu Changkong's voice was cold, but a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
"Alright, Xie Xie, don't talk to Tang Wulin like that," Teacher Shen gently advised.
Upon hearing this, Xie Xie realized that his words might have hurt Tang Wulin's self-esteem.
He scratched his head and sincerely said to Tang Wulin, "Wu Lin, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that..."
Tang Wulin smiled and waved his hand, "It's fine, I know you were just joking."
"Xie Xie, you're finished," Gu Yue suddenly said, a hint of a mischievous smile in her eyes, "I'll tell Senior Tang Wulin to come and deal with you."
"Sister Gu Yue, isn't it enough that I admit my mistake?"
Xie Xie immediately caved in, a fawning smile on his face, "Please don't tell Senior Wu Lin!"
"Then you'd better behave," Gu Yue snorted softly, a triumphant look in her eyes.
It turned out that Senior Ouyang Zixin was also in the Outer Court of Shrek Academy.
Fang Yang's Creation Pill was also given to Tang Wulin's Senior Ouyang Zixin.
Ouyang Zixin's original Spirit was the Blue Silver King. After taking the Creation Pill, her Spirit evolved into the Blue Silver Emperor, greatly enhancing her strength.
Dean Yu Zhen, relying on his extensive connections, secured seven spots in the Outer Court of Shrek Academy for the seven members of Zero Class.
He did this to ensure that the seven members of Zero Class could successfully enter Shrek Academy, leaving nothing to chance.
However, after Wu Changkong communicated with Dean Yu Zhen, he believed that the seven members of Zero Class, relying on their own strength and potential, did not need to depend on these spots.
Therefore, Dean Yu Zhen selected two excellent students from Eastsea Academy: Ouyang Zixin and Mu Xi.
As the daughter of the eighth-grade Saint Craftsman Mu Chen, Mu Xi did not need a spot in Shrek's Outer Court at all.
Thus, Dean Yu Zhen used one of the Shrek Outer Court spots to send Ouyang Zixin to Shrek Academy.
Therefore, Senior Ouyang Zixin arrived at Shrek Academy earlier than them.
"Alright, for tomorrow's opening ceremony, everyone, don't be late," Teacher Shen gently reminded them, her tone a bit serious.
"Okay, Teacher Shen," everyone responded in unison, their faces filled with anticipation.
"Then that's all. Junior Sister, we'll go back and see Teacher," Wu Changkong said, his ice-blue long hair gently swaying.
Upon hearing this, Teacher Shen nodded, "Okay, Senior Brother."
"Teacher Wu, Teacher Shen, please take care."
Everyone watched the two Teachers leave until their figures completely disappeared.
Fang Yang walked into his dormitory, looked around, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head, "Shrek Academy is indeed wealthy. The dormitory environment truly exceeds expectations."
The bright and spacious rooms, brand-new furniture, and even an independent Cultivation room—such conditions were simply unimaginable in ordinary academies.
Just then, Xie Xie suddenly poked his head out from the balcony and shouted, "Wu Lin, look downstairs! Your Senior is here to see you!"
Upon hearing this, everyone rushed to the balcony.
They saw Ouyang Zixin standing gracefully downstairs at the dormitory building.
Today, she was wearing a light blue long dress, its hem gently swaying with the breeze.
Her dark hair cascaded over her shoulders, making her look exceptionally gentle and moving, like a Fairy stepping out of a painting.
"Senior!"
Tang Wulin exclaimed in surprise, running downstairs two steps at a time.
Ouyang Zixin smiled slightly, her voice gentle, "I heard you all passed the entrance assessment today, so I specifically came to see you."
"Mm!"
Tang Wulin nodded vigorously, his face filled with unconcealed joy, "We were all successfully admitted to Shrek Academy."
A hint of relief flashed in Ouyang Zixin's eyes as she softly said, "Congratulations to you all. To achieve such results in the freshman assessment is truly remarkable."
Fang Yang and the others also came downstairs.
Ouyang Zixin looked at Fang Yang, a trace of gratitude in her eyes, "Junior Brother Fang Yang, thank you very much for the Creation Pill last time."
"You're too kind, Senior," Fang Yang waved his hand, "We're all Family, no need to be so formal."
Xie Xie, standing nearby, winked and deliberately teased, "Senior, Wu Lin has been talking about you all the time!"
"Xie Xie!"
Tang Wulin's face immediately flushed red, and he made to pounce on him.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter, their joyful sounds echoing downstairs at the dormitory building.
Ouyang Zixin also covered her mouth and chuckled, a faint blush appearing on her face.
"Alright, I won't disturb your rest," Ouyang Zixin said gently.
Her gaze swept across everyone's faces, "Tomorrow is the opening ceremony, everyone remember to go to bed early, and don't oversleep!"
"Shrek Academy's opening ceremony is very strict."
"Okay, Senior, please take care," everyone responded in unison.
After seeing Ouyang Zixin off, everyone went upstairs to their respective rooms.
