Dormitory 1070

"From here, we'll be splitting up. The Martial Soul Branch is to the left, while the Soul Tool Branch is to the right. These are Shrek Academy's two major divisions, both part of the outer court. We'll register at the Martial Soul Branch first."

Heading left from the statues, the road remained broad enough for four or five carriages to travel abreast. A sign by the roadside read: Lakeside Path.

Through the lush trees on their right, they could vaguely see a broad expanse of water. In other words, behind the ten statues of the Golden Triangle Love and the Shrek Seven Trash lay an enormous lake.

Tang Ya noticed Qian Mu's gaze and said proudly, "That's an artificial lake built to commemorate our Tang Sect ancestor, Thousand Hand Douluo Tang San. It's called Sea God Lake. According to legend, our ancestor Tang San inherited the divine seat of the Sea God. Sea God Lake is extremely vast and fed by underground water. Shrek Academy's inner court is located on the island in the center of Sea God Lake. Every outer court disciple takes pride in being able to set foot on that island."

Qian Fei smiled faintly. "That certainly is true~"

Sea God Lake truly was enormous. They followed the Lakeside Path south for nearly a quarter of an hour before turning west, and after walking for another quarter of an hour, the path finally curved inward. A broad rectangular plaza came into view, with a sign beside it reading Shrek Square.

Behind Shrek Square stood rows of tall teaching buildings. They came in several colors, mainly white, yellow, purple, and black.

Looking toward the distant north side of Shrek Square, there seemed to be another cluster of gray teaching buildings.

Bei Bei pointed at the buildings on the other side of the square. "The colors of the teaching buildings represent different grades, distinguished according to soul ring colors. White is for the freshman teaching building, like the lowest-ranked ten-year soul rings. Yellow is for the second- and third-year outer court teaching buildings, while purple is for the fourth- and fifth-year buildings. Black is for the sixth-year building. Once you can walk out of the black teaching building, you can receive the outer court graduation certificate."

"Those gray teaching buildings in the distance belong to the Soul Tool Department. Judging by the area, the Soul Tool Department occupies about one-third of the main teaching area, while the Martial Soul Department occupies two-thirds. Besides these teaching buildings at the front, there are many specialized training grounds behind them, such as the Battle Soul Arena, Assessment Area, Dormitory Area, Faculty Office Area, and so on."

The white freshman teaching building stood at the southernmost end and was also closest to the Lakeside Path. Since it was currently the period for recruiting new students, the freshman building was especially lively. Some freshmen who had already passed the assessment were registering there.

With Bei Bei and Tang Ya leading them, the registration process for the Black and White Twin Snow went very smoothly. Bei Bei paid their tuition. A single academic year cost as much as ten Gold Soul Coins, not including meal expenses. If they failed the assessments and dropped out midway, the tuition would not be refunded.

After receiving their dormitory keys, two sets of school uniforms, and a white freshman badge each, the Shuangxue Sisters followed Tang Ya and Bei Bei out of the freshman teaching building.

Tang Ya pointed at the largest building in the entire academy. "Xiao Mu, Xiao Fei, the dormitories are behind the teaching buildings. That largest building in the academy is where they are. You can head there yourselves in a moment. The new school year officially begins in three days, so you can familiarize yourselves with the surroundings first. We've paid your tuition for the first year. After that, it'll be up to you. The academy holds all kinds of competitions, and they come with prize money."

Qian Mu looked excited and smiled enthusiastically. "Thank you so much for everything along the way, Senior Bei and Senior Tang. Qian Fei and I will head in now."

Tang Ya smiled and waved her hand. "Don't mention it."

After bidding the two farewell, Qian Mu pulled Qian Fei toward the dormitories. Along the way, they saw many freshmen who had enrolled just like them.

Even though Qian Mu and Qian Fei looked only eleven or twelve years old, it was already clear that they would grow into beauties. One appeared lively and energetic, while the other seemed quiet and shy.

Walking down the road like that, they immediately caught the attention of quite a few freshmen. Some boys even secretly watched them, trying to find an opportunity to strike up a conversation.

Passing between the white freshman teaching building and the yellow second- and third-year teaching buildings, Qian Mu and Qian Fei saw the dormitory building.

The dormitory building covered an enormous area. Although there was only one building, it was likewise divided into white, yellow, purple, and black sections, evidently representing the residential areas for students of the different grades. It stood six stories tall.

Qian Mu and Qian Fei arrived at the entrance to the white section, where an elderly man sat.

The old man wore gray cloth robes. The wrinkles on his face were enough to crush more than ten flies at once. His eyes were cloudy yellow, his eyelids drooped low, and he looked as though he were in the twilight of his years. Sunlight filtered between the buildings and fell upon him, while the reclining chair he lay half-sprawled in looked rather comfortable.

"Little sister." Qian Mu concealed the surprise in her eyes and nudged Qian Fei with her elbow, signaling toward him with her gaze.

Only then did Qian Fei turn to glance at the old man. Three thoughts flashed through her mind in half a second. Without revealing anything, she stepped forward a few paces and gave him a sweet smile.

"Grandfather, may I ask which floor the girls' dormitory is on?"

Without raising his head, the old man extended his trembling right hand. His voice was hoarse and low. "Show me your badges and dormitory keys."

Qian Fei handed over her own badge and key, along with her sister's.

The old man waved them before his eyes, then returned them to her. "Go on. The first three floors are for boys. Starting from the fourth floor are the girls' dormitories. You're in room 1070."

"Thank you, Grandfather." Qian Mu nodded in thanks, then immediately pulled Qian Fei away at a brisk pace.

The old man remained motionless in his original posture and muttered, "Twin sisters? They really resemble this old man and his martial soul..."

After quickly entering the dormitory, Qian Mu shut the door. Her gaze instantly sharpened. "Little Golden Mane, that old fellow downstairs is no simple man."

Sitting on the bed, Qian Fei first took out a bottle of drink she had casually bought at the city gate, opened it, and gulped down a mouthful before speaking. "Bright Holy Dragon... I could tell..."

Qian Mu set down her luggage as well, her Herrscher eyes narrowing into slits. "Tsk. Looks like we can't make any major moves for now. At the very least, we need to wait until Sister's strength recovers, or until My God sends good news."

Qian Fei wiped the corner of her mouth and handed the drink to her sister. "Right now, we're only ordinary... somewhat talented students."

Qian Mu accepted the drink from her, then threw her dear little sister a flirtatious glance. "That's right. We're just ordinary students."

No one knew what the dormitory plaque bearing the number 1070 would come to symbolize.

Even an ultimate Holy Dragon could not see through a Herrscher's disguise.

What has happened will happen again; what has been done will be done again.

A scene that had once played out in an empire ten thousand years ago was about to repeat itself. Only this time, the ending was destined to be rewritten!

But this was only the beginning.

Fallen Angel had left behind too many regrets on this continent. This time, everything she had lost would be reclaimed with interest!!
