After Zhu Ziyang waited for Jiang Nannan, the two went to the assessment office together.
In the assessment room, there were also only two students, but they were sixth-grade students wearing black school uniforms. The two students, one male and one female, couldn't help but light up when they saw Zhu Ziyang and Jiang Nannan enter. Who wouldn't like a handsome man and a beautiful woman?
"Please come this way!" the two students said simultaneously, pointing to the yellow solid circle on the ground.
Zhu Ziyang and Jiang Nannan naturally followed their instructions and stood in the circle.
The two students each picked up a long, metal-detector-like instrument from the table and walked in front of them.
The female student said, "Please extend your right hand, place it in the red area of the spirit power detector, and then release a trace of spirit power."
Zhu Ziyang and Jiang Nannan did as they were told, placing their hands on the spirit power detector.
The top of the long spirit power detector was a glass screen. After Zhu Ziyang released his spirit power, it immediately lit up, displaying a line of text: "Bone Age: Eleven years old. spirit power: Level 35."
This information instantly stunned the female student holding the spirit power detector. She looked at him in disbelief and exclaimed, "Oh my god! An eleven-year-old Spirit Elder!"
"Eleven years old, Level 25!" At this moment, the male student who was testing Jiang Nannan's spirit power was also full of surprise, looking at Jiang Nannan with increased seriousness.
"Wang Jian, look!" The female student handed the instrument in her hand to the male student named Wang Jian.
"Holy moly!" Wang Jian was startled by such an exaggerated number. He stared at Zhu Ziyang in disbelief for a few glances.
At this time, these two Shrek students, who were about to graduate, felt complex emotions. At the same time, their attitude towards Zhu Ziyang and Jiang Nannan also showed a subtle respect and closeness.
As those who had spent six years at Shrek Academy, they clearly understood that with the talent of these two, there was a high possibility of them entering the Inner Courtyard!
The Inner Courtyard—they didn't even dare to think about it. Every time they passed the lakeside path, even a glance felt like a luxury.
"You two, please release your Spirit and spirit rings." The two students unnaturally used the word 'please'.
Zhu Ziyang sighed inwardly, but his movements were not slow. The Pacifying Life-Reaping Scythe appeared in his hand, and behind him, one yellow and two purple spirit rings flickered. Jiang Nannan also released her spirit rings; moon-white rabbit ears appeared, and two yellow spirit rings floated around her.
The two Shrek students were once again shocked. A spirit ring configuration of one yellow and two purple was simply too terrifying.
"Alright, alright, please retract your Spirit."
They exchanged glances, and after confirming that these were geniuses they couldn't possibly reach, they quickly returned to their seats, filled in the information for the two, then stamped the papers the two handed over, and gave them back.
"Congratulations, you two! You are now probationary students of Shrek Academy!" the female student said. "You just need to go to the freshman teaching building to register and report, and you'll become true Shrek students."
"Okay, thank you both!" Zhu Ziyang took the papers, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the two students with a smile.
The Shrek Academy assessment wasn't that difficult, he thought, as he pulled Jiang Nannan's hand and walked out of the assessment room, heading towards the true main gate of Shrek Academy.
Entering Shrek Academy, what met their eyes was lush vegetation full of life. All kinds of flowers, plants, and trees were meticulously trimmed, making for a delightful sight.
They saw the statue of the Golden Triangle, then passed the statues of the Original Shrek Seven Devils. Looking at the statues in various poses, Zhu Ziyang and Jiang Nannan couldn't help but stop.
Zhu Ziyang's gaze lingered on the third statue for a while. He lowered his head, and a sneer involuntarily appeared at the corner of his mouth.
This statue was none other than the third member of the Original Shrek Seven Devils, Thousand Hands Douluo, Sea God and Asura God, Tang San!
Influenced by his memories from his previous life, Zhu Ziyang was very interested in Sea God Tang San.
In recent years, he had read all the books related to Sea God Tang San. Most of these books were written by people from ten thousand years ago, making them highly credible.
In these books, most portrayed Sea God Tang San as a savior, praising him to the extreme. Only a small portion of the books were more objective, but even then, the records of Tang San were basically positive descriptions.
This was not surprising, after all, he was the victor.
Among the books written during that specific period, Zhu Ziyang found a book titled "Xue's Diary," a book that looked like a diary but could perfectly be called a confession. Based on the content of the book, Zhu Ziyang could basically confirm that its author was Qian Renxue, the last Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago.
This diary should have been written by Qian Renxue after she went into seclusion following the Great Battle of Jialing Pass. Its content mostly consisted of her confessions, as well as records related to the beginning and end of the Great Battle of Jialing Pass.
From the content of the diary, combined with other books from the same era, Zhu Ziyang gained a very detailed and comprehensive understanding of the events of ten thousand years ago and the deeds of Sea God Tang San.
It turned out that ten thousand years ago, an unprecedented God War had occurred at Jialing Pass!
At least four gods, including the Sea God, Angel God, Rakshasa God, and Asura God, participated in the God War. Among them, Thousand Hands Douluo Tang San even possessed the dual God Positions of Sea God and Asura God, no wonder he was able to fight two against one, defeating the Angel God and Rakshasa God.
Zhu Ziyang also generally understood the grievances between Tang San and Spirit Hall; he made no judgment.
However, he deeply questioned Tang San's character!
In many confidential books from the era of the Church, including Qian Renxue's diary, spanning from the early to the late Church era, a certain sentence was repeatedly mentioned:
Gods of the God Realm must not interfere with the people and affairs of the Douluo Continent; violators will be punished by the enforcers of the God Realm!
The credibility of this statement should be extremely high.
If that's the case, then things get interesting.
If the Gods of the God Realm are not allowed to interfere with the lower realm, then the ending segment that occurs in the book "Unrivaled Tang Sect" becomes very intriguing.
In that event that might happen in the future, wouldn't Sea God Tang San be interfering with the affairs of the Douluo Continent? This clearly violated the order of the God Realm, so why wasn't Tang San afraid of being punished? Oh, it turns out he himself was the Asura God who managed the order of the God Realm, so there was no problem.
This obvious act of an enforcer breaking the law, coupled with Tang San's despicable act of threatening a mother with the life of her young child, gave Zhu Ziyang reason to believe that the moral character of this god, revered by the world, needed improvement!
Zhu Ziyang perfectly understood the disdain and mockery in his past life's memories.
He strongly agreed!
Continue forward.
Turning left from the statues, there was a grand avenue wide enough for five carriages to travel side-by-side. To the right of the avenue was a shimmering, boundless lake. Jiang Nannan only found the scenery beautiful, but Zhu Ziyang knew that this was the famous Sea God Lake.
Through the green plants by the roadside, he could vaguely see the small island in the center of the lake, which was where the Inner Courtyard of Shrek Academy, Sea God Island, was located.
After leaving Sea God Lake, the two followed the road signs and arrived at Shrek Plaza. Behind Shrek Plaza was the main area of Shrek Academy, including the teaching area, living area, and assessment area, which occupied two-thirds of Shrek Academy.
At the forefront, naturally, was the teaching area. The imposing buildings, distinct in color, were arranged orderly according to white, yellow, purple, and black. The color of the teaching building represented different grades, distinguished by spirit ring colors. White was the freshman teaching building, like the lowest-tier ten-year spirit ring. Yellow was for the Outer Courtyard second and third-grade teaching buildings. Purple was for the fourth and fifth-grade teaching buildings. Black was for the sixth-grade teaching building. Being able to graduate from the black teaching building meant one could receive the Outer Courtyard graduation certificate from the academy.
The white freshman building was closest to the lakeside path. The two walked from the south side of Shrek Plaza and entered this teaching building.
