Chapter 13 Eating a Peach
"If you start to have second thoughts now, it's not too late."
Li Yusong, who was in charge of the assessment, slowly swept his gaze over everyone and said loudly.
Do you know what the name Shrek really means?
Li Yusong paused slightly, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes, "Shrek is an extremely special kind of monster. Even in the world of soul beasts, it is an extremely strange and unique existence."
"The reason why our Shrek Academy is named this is to imply that this is a 'monster academy'. We only recruit real monsters; mediocre people are not within our consideration."
At this point, Li Yusong's expression turned serious: "Once you are older than the admission standard, or your soul power is not above level twenty-one, there is no need to waste your time here."
"These are the rules set by the dean himself, and there's nothing I can do about it. After all, even if I let your children barely pass the test, if they can't keep up with the pace in the subsequent training, they will hardly achieve anything in the future, and in the end, they will just be wasting their time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yusong's soul power surged, and his six soul rings instantly shone brightly—one white, one yellow, three purple, and one black—dazzling and radiant, their dreamlike glow surrounding his body.
The soul power surged outwards, forming an invisible wave that caused everyone around to instinctively take several steps back.
"This person is actually a Soul Emperor!"
Tang San couldn't help but show a surprised expression, muttering to himself, secretly sighing that one can't judge a book by its cover.
Character: Li Yusong.
Martial Spirit: Dragon Pattern Staff.
Level: Level 63 Battle Soul Emperor.
Occupation: Teacher at Shrek Academy.
"My God, such incredible strength..."
Most of the people who came to register were stunned by what they saw.
No one expected that they would have the privilege of witnessing the prowess of a War Soul Emperor today.
Shrek Academy truly is a place where hidden talents abound.
Li Yusong's actions were also intended to demonstrate his powerful strength as a Soul Emperor, as he did not want others to look down on Shrek Academy, where he taught.
Dugu Zhan, standing at the back of the line, had a slight smile on his lips as he secretly pondered: A monster called Shrek? Does such a soul beast really exist?
He knew about slimes, but this Shrek... Dugu Zhan was filled with doubts.
However, in a mysterious corner of the Douluo Continent, there does indeed exist a monster soul beast called Shrek.
...
"Next!"
Li Yusong slowly dispersed his soul power and continued the assessment.
The family of three who failed the test could only sigh helplessly and turn away silently.
"This academy looks quite interesting!"
Xiao Wu winked mischievously, then secretly leaned close to Tang San's ear and whispered something.
"Especially that teacher's line, 'We only accept monsters, not ordinary people,' was so cool!"
Hearing this, Tang San opened his mouth slightly and replied with a smile, "Now, you won't doubt your teacher's instructions anymore, right? Shrek Academy is no ordinary place."
Just then, Ning Rongrong gracefully stepped forward, obediently placed ten soul coins down, and then extended her slender little hand.
Li Yusong extended his right hand and gently placed it on Ning Rongrong's wrist to check her pulse.
A moment later, he seemed to realize something, and his expression changed slightly.
Dugu Zhan keenly noticed this scene, and a mischievous glint appeared in his eyes. He thought to himself, "What's all the fuss about? Could it be that some special discovery has been made?"
Immediately afterwards, Li Yusong slowly stood up, his gaze falling on the beautiful and charming girl in front of him, who was like a forest elf.
His brows furrowed into a deep frown as he fell into deep thought.
"Have I passed the preliminary test?"
Ning Rongrong playfully shook her head and politely inquired, her voice gentle and sweet, like a melodious silver bell.
"Do your family know you're registering here?"
Li Yusong was well aware of Ning Rongrong's background and the powerful force she represented, which made him wary.
Ning Rongrong is the apple of the eye of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, one of the three upper sects.
Her appearance was exquisite and beautiful, like an elf who stepped out of a fairy tale, both pretty and cute.
However, beneath this beautiful exterior, she shoulders the heavy responsibility of inheriting the sect, a task that is both arduous and far-reaching.
Having spent a long time in a major sect, Ning Rongrong possessed extraordinary vision and demeanor, exuding a unique temperament even at a young age.
She also possesses an extraordinary ability to appreciate all kinds of rare treasures.
However, at this time, she still had some princess-like temper.
"Everyone says that education should be provided to all without discrimination. As long as I meet the academy's requirements, you have no reason not to admit me, right?"
Ning Rongrong was clever and quick-witted, and her words carried a hint of provocation.
Upon hearing this, Li Yusong looked at Dai Mubai and nodded slightly, indicating his agreement that Ning Rongrong had passed the assessment.
Come here!
Dai Mubai took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand and waved, indicating that Ning Rongrong could come over. It was clear that she had successfully passed the preliminary test.
"Okay, next one..."
Li Yusong continued shouting.
At this moment, the next person to be assessed was a boy with fair and smooth skin who looked remarkably like a girl.
However, the moment he opened his mouth, he spoke with an unusual tone, exactly like the legendary "sissy".
"Hello, grandpa! My name is Xiaoyao!"
The rather handsome twelve-year-old boy, after placing ten soul coins as per the rules, spoke in a sweet and coquettish voice, then extended his delicate and fair left hand for Li Yusong to take his pulse.
Li Yusong remained calm and said indifferently, "Hmm, your age just meets the requirement. Show me your martial spirit!"
"Tao Tao, come out!"
Xiao Yao gave a coquettish laugh, then gathered her soul power.
A pink peach, no bigger than the palm of his hand, slowly appeared in his right palm.
This is his martial soul—a food-type martial soul, a peach!
Xiao Yao's martial soul is food-type, so it can be eaten directly.
He opened his mouth and bit into the peach in his hand, twisting his body as he ate, while making a soft, almost feminine voice: "Eating a peach, mmm~ so cool..."
"..."
A moment of silence fell over everyone present, and the atmosphere became slightly awkward.
"Have a peach, mmm~ so sweet!!"
Xiao Yao showed no sign of stopping, continuing to twist her body and mutter to herself.
His appearance made the people standing behind him want to rush up and punch him.
"..." Everyone was speechless.
"Grandpa, my peaches are so sweet! They're a little cool to eat, but they can also restore 20% of the stamina of Soul Masters below the Soul Venerable level. It's just that my innate Soul Power isn't enough, so I can only make three peaches a day."
Xiao Yao mumbled something while chewing on a peach.
"Okay, I understand. Not good enough. Next!"
Li Yusong said without hesitation that he just wanted this person with overly "effeminate" behavior to leave as soon as possible.
After all, with insufficient innate soul power, it is difficult to achieve outstanding success in the future without a great opportunity, and the upper limit of development is basically limited.
More importantly, he would not allow such "feminized" boys to exist at Shrek Academy.
"Teacher, we'd like to sign up together."
Just then, it was finally Tang San and Xiao Wu's turn.
Following the rules, Tang San calmly placed down ten soul coins, and the assessment officially began.
