Although Zhu Zhuqing had already put away her martial soul, Tang San's eyes never left her, filled with intense curiosity.
"How did you do that!?"
Faced with his question, Zhu Zhuqing didn't even glance at him. She already roughly understood his relationship with Xiao Wu.
Her thinking was simple.
Since he was Xiao Wu's enemy, he would also be Ye Qiu's enemy, and even her enemy!
So she simply ignored him and calmly stood beside Xiao Wu.
Tang San opened his mouth, knowing that this was definitely her secret, so he gave up and silently stood aside.
After waiting for a while,
Dai Mubai came out from inside.
"Tang San, we meet again!" Dai Mubai smiled, his gaze intentionally or unintentionally sweeping over Zhu Zhuqing.
"What are you looking at! You sick cat, you wouldn't happen to have some dirty thoughts about her, would you?"
Instead of getting a response from Tang San, Xiao Wu teased him.
"What nonsense are you spouting! I... I was just looking at my future classmates!"
Dai Mubai's smile froze. He snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with anger as he glared at Xiao Wu.
"And you'd better watch your mouth. Don't think I can't beat you!"
"Hmph! You think I'm afraid of you?" Xiao Wu retorted defiantly.
Zhu Zhuqing, standing to the side, watched him coldly. If he dared to make a move, she wouldn't hold back!
"Dai Mubai," Tang San was about to intervene when an aged voice rang out.
"Alright! Mubai, these three are your future classmates. Take them inside first!"
Li Yusong, who was still having his bone age tested, ended their argument.
"Understood!" Dai Mubai glanced coldly at Xiao Wu and turned away.
"Follow me!"
The group followed Dai Mubai toward the second testing area.
Entering Shrek Academy required passing four hurdles.
After the bone age and soul power registration tests, three more hurdles remained.
The second stage is the Martial Soul Appraisal, mainly to test the development potential of the Martial Soul.
Simply put, those with low development potential are rejected!
The third stage tests the application of the Martial Soul.
In short, it looks at your Soul Ring configuration and Soul Skills; those who waste skill slots are rejected!
As for the fourth stage, it tests the student's practical combat ability.
Those who are pampered and sheltered are rejected!
Of course, Shrek Academy also has a rule that if you can reach level 25 before the age of thirteen,
you can skip the two intermediate stages.
Because your Soul Power far surpasses others, it's enough to make up for other gaps, and you even have an extra ring, allowing you to overcome all other challenges with sheer force!
Clearly, Tang San and the others fully meet the conditions for exemption from the second and third tests.
After the three followed Dai Mubai to the testing point for the second stage, Dai Mubai went to negotiate with the teacher in charge.
During this time, Tang San still had his eye on Oscar's sausages and asked him for some.
...
"Oscar! You actually dare to sell your sausages here!? Are you looking for death!"
Just as Tang San was enjoying his sausage...
Dai Mubai's voice rang out as he grabbed Oscar's long beard and tucked him under his arm.
"Brother Dai, spare me!"
Ignoring Oscar's cries, Dai Mubai turned to Zhu Zhuqing and questioned him, his tone laced with danger.
"You didn't give them any, did you?"
"No! Uh... they didn't want any!" Oscar's face turned slightly purple, struggling to breathe under Dai Mubai's grip.
"Brother Dai? What's wrong?" Tang San looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression.
"This senior's sausage is quite delicious, isn't it?"
"Tang San... you!"
Dai Mubai looked at the remaining half sausage and a few bamboo skewers in his hand, a hint of amazement on his face, followed by a mischievous grin.
The two girls, Xiao Wu and Tang San, nearby also frowned as they watched this scene.
"Little Oscar! Quickly share your sausage-making process with Tang San!"
"Boss Dai, there's no need for that, I'll just refund this junior's money!"
"Don't force me to do it!"
"No, no, no, I'll tell you, okay!"
Under Dai Mubai's intimidating power, Oscar had no choice but to extend his left hand and softly utter his soul incantation in his somewhat lewd voice.
"I have a big sausage!"
As soon as he finished speaking,
a fragrant roasted sausage immediately appeared in his hand, the only difference from Tang San's was that it was missing a bamboo skewer.
The pure and innocent Tang San's face darkened upon hearing his soul incantation, clearly associating it with something unpleasant.
The remaining sausage slipped from his hand and fell to the ground, his stomach suddenly feeling nauseous.
A hint of anger flashed in his eyes as he looked at Oscar.
"Alright, you brat, get lost, and you better not let me find you selling your sausages in the academy again!"
Noticing Tang San's dark face, Dai Mubai promptly sent Oscar away.
"Hahaha, Tang San! It's alright, he's a food-type Soul Master, it's just that his Soul Incantation is a bit strange! Haha."
Dai Mubai said it was alright, but the mocking expression on his face and his unrestrained laughter said it all.
"Disgusting!"
"Filthy!"
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing watched this scene coldly, taking small steps to move away from Tang San and the others.
"Alright, I've made all the arrangements, I can take you directly to the fourth level now!"
"Wait, teacher! Why can they not take the test!"
Dai Mubai's laughter had already attracted the attention of the students still in line.
Seeing that they could leave directly, they immediately protested.
"Mubai, explain yourself!" The teacher conducting the test threw over a milky white crystal ball.
"Hehe. This is really troublesome!"
Dai Mubai took the crystal ball and went to Tang San's side, gesturing for him to undergo a soul power test.
"Open your eyes and watch carefully. If your soul power reaches level twenty-five, you can skip the intermediate steps and directly enter the fourth level!"
As Dai Mubai finished speaking, Tang San also poured soul power into the crystal ball.
Suddenly, the crystal ball became as dazzling as a diamond, its radiant light almost filling it completely.
"Level twenty-nine! How is that possible!?"
"Nothing is impossible. Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't. Let me reiterate, Shrek Academy only accepts monsters!"
Dai Mubai took the crystal ball from Tang San and tossed it to Xiao Wu.
Its dazzling light was even more radiant than Tang San's.
"Soul Master!"
Seeing Xiao Wu's cultivation level, even the testing teacher became somewhat unsettled.
"In that case, I can go directly to the fourth level too!"

A girl in a long cyan dress
moved like a butterfly in flight. She quickly took the crystal ball from Xiao Wu's hand.
The crystal ball shone brightly in her hand, though slightly less so than Tang San's.
"It's her!" Tang San's eyes narrowed; he hadn't expected her to be a genius Soul Master as well!
"Level 27! Indeed!" The testing teacher nodded.
Before Ning Rongrong could react, Zhu Zhuqing snatched the crystal ball from her hand.
Ning Rongrong felt something blind her, staring blankly at the raging explosion!
*Crack!*
Without warning, the crystal ball shattered in Zhu Zhuqing's hand.
"Another Soul Master!? Where did these people come from? My salary is going to be docked!"
The testing teacher's eyes twitched, and he gave a helpless bitter smile. Having such excellent students was a blessing!
"Alright, Mu Bai! Take them all over there!"
'She's already a Soul Master!?' Dai
Mubai glanced at Zhu Zhuqing with a complex look in his eyes, a sudden urge to retaliate rising in his mind.
"Yes!"
Without much thought, Dai Mubai respectfully replied and led the group deeper into the academy.
Along the way, he introduced them to the history of Shrek Academy. They
only accepted those with extraordinary talent, not the useless; those who didn't reach the Soul Master level by twenty couldn't graduate.
In twenty years, they had admitted sixty-two students, fourteen of whom graduated.
All graduates became prominent figures, the most outstanding even holding positions in the Spirit Hall, their status second only to the Pope!
Ning Rongrong, who was secretly observing Zhu Zhuqing's large breasts, frowned upon hearing Dai Mubai's introduction.
As the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, she didn't even know such a person existed?!
Tang San clenched his fists, his eyes gleaming. Grandmaster hadn't lied to him; he had come to the right place!
"Alright, we've arrived!"
Dai Mubai stopped. Tang San and the others had come to an open space, about two hundred square meters in size. In the middle was a rocking chair, on which lay a middle-aged man of about fifty.
"Mubai, so many people have actually made it to the fourth level this time?"
A rough voice rang out, and the group felt their ears ringing.
"Teacher Zhao, it's not just that. Their soul power has exceeded level twenty-five, and there are even two Soul Masters!"
"There are even Soul Masters! Haha, perfect, I was just about to stretch my muscles!"
A figure as imposing as a city wall suddenly stood up. He wasn't tall, but he looked incredibly strong.
His clothes couldn't hide the bulging muscles on his body. His amiable expression, combined with his muscular physique, still created an unimaginable pressure on Tang San and the others!
"I plan to personally take action in this fourth level!"
"Teacher Zhao, isn't that a bit inappropriate?" Dai Mubai frowned, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes. "This should be my job."
"Hmph! Can you handle this, kid? You got beaten up outside yesterday. Besides, with the dean gone, I, Zhao Wuji, am the biggest boss in the academy! What I say goes!"
Zhao Wuji glared, finalizing the matter. He then took out an incense stick, flicked it between two fingers, and lit it instantly.
"I'll give you the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to formulate your tactics. You just need to survive that time!"
*Thud!
* With a seemingly effortless toss, the incense stick landed firmly in the ground without the slightest wobbling!
"If you need my information, you can ask that kid Mu Bai! Hehe."
After saying this, Zhao Wuji lay back in his chair, leisurely and carefree.
"Hehe." Dai Mubai chuckled wryly and slowly approached Tang San and the others. "I didn't expect Teacher Zhao to take action personally. Well, you're on your own now!"
"Brother Dai, what level of expert is this Teacher Zhao?"
Tang San also felt a sense of pressure, looking at him with a serious expression.
"Teacher Zhao, he's the vice dean of our academy, his martial soul is the Mighty Vajra Bear, and he's a level 76 Soul Saint!"
"He's the Immovable King Zhao Wuji?" Ning Rongrong asked in surprise.
"You actually know Teacher Zhao's name?"
"Hehe. I heard from my elders that he was hunted down in his early years and disappeared for more than ten years. I never expected him to be teaching here!"
Ning Rongrong looked strangely at Zhao Wuji, who was still resting with his eyes closed on the recliner.
She never thought that someone with such a bad reputation in the soul master world would actually reform and become a teacher.
"..."
After a short pause, Dai Mubai continued to tell them about Zhao Wuji's martial soul, soul power, and the soul skills he knew.
"That's all I know. Since things have come to this, why don't you all introduce yourselves and get to know each other?"
Tang San looked around at the others and, seeing that none of them moved, spoke first.
"Tang San, weapon spirit Blue Silver Grass, level 29 control-type battle spirit master!"
"Zhu Zhuqing, beast spirit Netherworld Cat, level 32 agility-type battle spirit master!"
"Zhu Zhuqing!? You're Zhu Zhuqing!?"
Before her cool voice could finish, Ning Rongrong exclaimed in surprise!
She looked Zhu Zhuqing up and down, especially at her impressive figure.
"You know me?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at her strangely; she shouldn't have ever seen her before.
"Yes, I've heard of you!" Ning Rongrong looked down at her fried egg, then glanced at Zhu Zhuqing's ample bosom.
Her originally blue eyes suddenly glowed red with envy and jealousy at Zhu Zhuqing's figure, and she muttered involuntarily,
"Hmph! That's too unfair. No wonder that guy can't forget you!"
"!!"
Zhu Zhuqing, who had felt very uncomfortable under Ning Rongrong's burning gaze, felt
a jolt of lightning strike her head upon hearing Ning Rongrong's words, and her body trembled.
Zhu Zhuqing now understood how Xiao Wu felt when she approached her.
"You know him too, right?! How is he now?!"
"Ah!"
Hearing their conversation, Xiao Wu perked up and quickly walked to Ning Rongrong's side, grabbing her arm and startling her.
"I...I'm Xiao Wu."
Noticing Ning Rongrong's struggle, Xiao Wu gave her name, her eyes filled with anticipation and trepidation.
Hearing the familiar name, Ning Rongrong calmed down.
Looking at the tall girl with rabbit ears in front of her,
she felt a little strange. How did Ye Qiu know they were all here? She
then pouted unhappily.
She remembered her first kiss with Ye Qiu, when he mistook her for Xiao Wu.
"What's wrong? Is he not doing well?"
Seeing her suddenly distressed expression, Xiao Wu became worried.
Seeing Xiao Wu's anxious look, Ning Rongrong quickly suppressed her lingering resentment.
"Don't worry! He's doing well now, and he even wrote you a letter!"
"A letter!?" Xiao Wu was stunned, her eyes already slightly misty, with tears welling in the corners.
Zhu Zhuqing, hearing this, quickly joined them.
Although she didn't speak, her eyes were filled with anticipation.
Had Ye Qiu written her a letter too?!
Dai Mubai and Tang San stared blankly at the three of them, somewhat confused about what they were talking about.
Tang San frowned as he watched this scene.
"Xiao Wu, let's discuss this first."
"Shut up!"
Xiao Wu snapped at Tang San. She didn't care about any of that bullshit entrance exam; she just wanted to see the letter Xiao Qiu had written to her!
"Give me the letter now!"
