Ning Rongrong was truly shocked. Not only was this academy terrible, but they even charged a registration fee for students?
And wasn't this registration fee a bit expensive? This academy wasn't some famous advanced Spirit Master academy, and it didn't seem to have any ranking?
Before she came, she had specifically looked it up, found it interesting, and not wanting to stay in the Sect, she had snuck out.
"Who's running their mouth over there!"
The white-haired elder couldn't listen anymore and directly summoned his Spirit, Dragon Pattern Staff, a six-ring Spirit Emperor!
The white-haired elder's Dragon Pattern Staff tapped the ground, and the pressure it generated caused everyone present to unconsciously retreat several steps.
They hadn't expected that this seemingly ordinary old man was actually a Spirit Emperor!
"I will state the rules once again: those under twelve years old with a spirit power of twenty ranks or higher are eligible to participate in the entrance examination. The registration fee is ten gold coins, non-refundable! Don't harbor any Luck mentality, don't take advantage of my kindness!"
The young man didn't dare to make a sound now; he hadn't said that the registration fee was non-refundable earlier.
The parent next to him, seeing that this teacher was not to be trifled with, pulled the young man's hand and was about to leave. With his child's talent, which academy couldn't he go to?
It was just a pity about those ten gold coins; they were just an ordinary family.
"We said it, and is what we said wrong? This is the first time I've seen a registration fee collected without being refunded? He hasn't even enrolled!"
Seeing that Li Yusong had heard their conversation, Ning Rongrong didn't want to hide behind and directly stepped forward.
Dai Mubai's eyes lit up when he saw Ning Rongrong, but he quickly noticed Xiao Tian and the others standing beside her, and his smile instantly faded. Were they together?
However, thinking about how he lost face yesterday, he didn't plan to step forward and remind them. Xiao Tian couldn't possibly go head-to-head with Teacher Li Yusong, could he?
That was a sixty-third rank Spirit Emperor!
Dai Mubai secretly moved to the side, preparing to watch the show, but at this moment, the elder's words came.
"Mubai! Drive these troublemakers away for me. Let them see the strength of our Shrek Academy students. We don't accept trash, only monsters!"
Ten thousand mud horses galloped through Dai Mubai's heart. Teacher, I can't beat him!
Dai Mubai's face instantly twisted into a bitter expression.
Xiao Tian looked at Dai Mubai beside the elder with interest, his expression somewhat teasing.
Xiao Tian: What's up? Wasn't getting beaten up yesterday enough? Want to practice some more?
Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and Tang San also watched silently.
(indivual_indivual)~~
Ning Rongrong was a bit confused; why did this person have such an expression?
Dai Mubai pondered for a second. He couldn't risk his life for face, and if he got beaten up later, he would lose face anyway and get a beating for nothing. It wasn't worth it.
So he could only go to Li Yusong's side and whispered what happened yesterday into his ear.
This made Li Yusong look at Xiao Tian with some surprise. He didn't expect this kid, at such a young age, to have such a level that even the dean had to step in to mediate.
After glancing at Xiao Tian, his gaze fell on the middle-aged man next to him. That should be the theoretical Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, the 'Corner of Wisdom' that the dean often mentioned.
Interesting~~
Just as Li Yusong was about to step forward to teach them a good lesson... Oh no, to properly test their strength, Flender suddenly appeared from the shadows.
"Wait!"
He felt that if he didn't appear now, things would definitely get out of hand later. If he lost these geniuses just like that, how would he make money... teach?
Moreover, there was a little princess from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect among them. If Li Yusong accidentally injured her, then...
"Dean, aren't you supposed to be back tomorrow?"
Li Yusong asked with some confusion.
Flender's mouth twitched. He pulled Li Yusong aside and whispered a few words.
Li Yusong could only give up.
He took out ten gold coins from his body and threw them to the young man from before.
"Let me reiterate, those who do not meet the requirements, leave immediately!"
Instantly, the long queue in front of the academy gate was reduced to only a dozen people.
Flender stepped forward and said with a smile, "Xiao Tian, you must be laughing at us. Our academy's enrollment wasn't like this before. We always stated the enrollment conditions clearly in advance, but there are always some people who hold onto a Luck mentality."
Xiao Tian nodded faintly. He didn't intend to delve too deeply into this topic.
He wasn't a great philanthropist; if he encountered something he could help with, he would, but as for past matters, he couldn't control them.
"Xiaogang, you come in with me first. They should be able to go directly to the fourth stage later. I'll take you in for some tea first."
Flender winked at Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang naturally had no objections. With the strength of Tang San and the others, passing the assessment would be simple.
However, he still asked, "What is the assessment for the fourth stage?"
Flender glanced at Dai Mubai, who was pretending to be an ostrich on the side: "Persist for the time it takes for one stick of incense under Mubai's hands."
Dai Mubai:
Yu Xiaogang:
Alright, then there's absolutely no problem.
"Okay, then I'll go in with you first."
Yu Xiaogang glanced at Tang San and the others, then followed Flender inside. He wanted to first understand the academy's situation and future plans in detail with Flender.
Li Yusong put his Spirit away again, his face showing no particular expression.
"Who's first?"
Without saying much, Xiao Tian and the others didn't want to be too troublesome. The three of them directly displayed their Spirits and spirit rings.
"Xiao Tian, Spirit Sword Fifteen, rank thirty-eight."
"Xiao Wu, Spirit Soft Bones Demon Rabbit, rank thirty-four."
"Tang San, Spirit Blue Silver Grass, rank thirty-two."
Li Yusong: ???
What?
What spirit power rank?
Li Yusong suddenly felt that he was getting old and his ears were a bit unclear?
But upon seeing the spirit rings on the three of them, he immediately confirmed it.
However, when he saw the three thousand-year spirit rings on Xiao Tian, his eyes widened, and he could no longer remain calm. He even rubbed his eyes. Were these spirit rings real?
"Brother? When did you reach rank thirty-eight? Weren't you only rank thirty-six yesterday?"
Xiao Wu's small mouth was slightly agape, her expression surprised and incredibly cute.
Xiao Tian had already thought of a reason and said faintly, "Oh, my Sword Dao realm broke through a bit, so..."
Tang San: ...
Tang San felt so tired. Why could Xiao Tian raise his spirit power rank like this, and no matter how much he chased, he couldn't catch up?
Tang San didn't doubt what Xiao Tian said, because it wasn't as if this hadn't happened in the past six years. It was just that he was already a Spirit Elder now, and he had suddenly risen two ranks. Wasn't that a bit outrageous?
Zhu Zhuqing also had a look of confusion. Rank thirty-eight?
She had already been shocked by the spirit rings on Xiao Tian yesterday.
Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong directly jumped to Xiao Tian's side, her eyes sparkling with curiosity as she looked at Xiao Tian and said, "Hey, Xiao Tian, how did you do that? I've never seen anyone so... unusual in the Sect."
This was the first time Ning Rongrong felt that there were always people better than you, and always a higher heaven!
