Enrollment

"That was utterly terrifying!" The person speaking with Beibei had only heard it secondhand, which made the whole matter sound increasingly bizarre.

"Senior Brother Bei, you don't know this—when that freshman arrived yesterday, just one look from him made the people registering in front of him voluntarily part to make way. Those people from yesterday said those actions had all been subconscious!"

"What's even stranger is that some people said they heard a Dragon's Roar wherever that freshman passed, while others said they heard nothing."

After hearing this, Beibei and Tang Ya looked at each other.

"Is that normal?" Tang Ya asked.

"Hard to say. The key is that Dragon's Roar." Beibei frowned deeply, pinching his chin with one hand. "If that person's Martial Soul is a powerful Dragon Martial Soul, then something like this is possible."

"But even my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul can't use just a glance to make Dragon's Might intimidate others to that extent."

Hearing Beibei mutter, the student speaking with him leaned closer and whispered, "Senior Brother Bei, I don't know whether this next piece of news is true or not. Just listen to it!"

"The one who helped that freshman register was Senior Sister Jiang Nannan. According to Senior Sister Jiang Nannan, that freshman's Martial Soul is called the Golden Dragon! His Soul Power Level has even reached thirty-seven! None of us have ever heard of a Golden Dragon Martial Soul, and a cultivation level of thirty-seven is simply too outrageous, so we just treated it as a rumor!"

Golden Dragon...

Why did that Martial Soul sound so familiar?

After bidding the junior farewell thoughtfully, Beibei pulled Tang Ya and Huo Yuhao away.

"It seems Xiaoyuhao's batch of freshmen is full of talent!" Tang Ya smiled helplessly.

She had only just returned to the academy and already heard such an outrageous rumor. The shock in Tang Ya's heart was beyond words.

Never mind making people voluntarily step aside with a glance and Dragon's Might—just that Soul Power Level of thirty-seven, what kind of concept was that?

Tang Ya herself was somewhat lacking, having only just broken through to Soul Elder in her fourth year. But what about Beibei? He was one of the Outer Court Twin Stars, a genius! Yet his Soul Power Level was only thirty-seven!

Freshmen entering the academy could absolutely not be older than twelve. Yet that person had cultivated three fewer years while possessing the same Soul Power Level as Beibei?

How could Tang Ya believe that?

Her earlier remark had been far more teasing than genuinely amazed!

She refused to believe that anyone at Shrek could possess greater talent than Beibei!

Beibei, on the other hand, had frowned all the way, continuously recalling the knowledge he had learned and searching his memories for the existence of the Golden Dragon.

Huo Yuhao remained silent throughout.

Someone his age, who had just entered the academy, already possessed the cultivation of a thirty-seventh-level Soul Elder, while he had only just broken through level eleven and obtained his first Soul Ring.

Whether this rumor was true or false, it at least crushed the small measure of pride that had begun to rise within him. Before this, he had merely been among the lowest-ranking people in Duke's Mansion. Under the Duchess's suppression, his status had been lower even than that of the servants in Duke's Mansion.

Having suddenly obtained the Soul Ring of a million-year soul beast like Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, it would have been impossible for him not to feel elated.

Now, that trace of elation had been dealt a harsh blow by this rumor of uncertain truth.

That's right. Douluo Continent is full of geniuses. Even with Brother Sky Dream, I'm still just a tiny Soul Master. I can't be complacent. I have to work even harder, become strong, and avenge Mother! Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth inwardly.

Just then, Beibei clapped his hands together, his eyes filled with realization and shock. "I remember now—that Golden Dragon Martial Soul!"

"Huh? There really is such a Martial Soul?" Tang Ya tilted her head curiously.

"Of course. I once heard Xuan... the elders in my family mention it. The Golden Dragon is one of the strongest types among dragonkind. In today's Douluo Continent, Golden Dragons can no longer be found. At most, one can only find soul beasts possessing a trace of Golden Dragon Bloodline!" Beibei's expression was solemn.

"If that freshman truly possesses a Golden Dragon Martial Soul, then I wouldn't be surprised at all that he has thirty-seventh-level Soul Power or can accomplish what that junior described!"

Seeing Beibei's serious expression, Tang Ya put away her playful attitude and listened carefully to his explanation.

Huo Yuhao pricked up his ears even more, not daring to miss a single word.

Because that person was a freshman! An overwhelmingly powerful competitor from the same class as him!

Seeing the intense thirst for knowledge in Tang Ya and Huo Yuhao's eyes, Beibei gave a bitter smile and slowly said, "Do you know what an Ultimate Attribute is?"

"The Golden Dragon has an Ultimate Attribute?"

Huo Yuhao was utterly confused, while Tang Ya's expression instantly fell apart.

No matter what, Tang Ya had studied at Shrek Academy for three or four years, so she knew about Ultimate Attributes. Four thousand years ago, when Sun Moon Continent clashed with Douluo Continent—the battle that led to the Tang Sect's decline—the reason Douluo Continent ultimately won was because an Ultimate Attribute powerhouse led the people of Douluo Continent to defeat those of Sun Moon Continent!

This was recorded in great detail in the Tang Sect's history.

"That's right. The Golden Dragon's attribute is simple: the purest form of strength, Ultimate Power!" Beibei said softly, unable to keep a hint of envy from his voice.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was powerful, and his Light Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, which could evolve into the Light Holy Dragon, was even stronger. But no matter how strong it was, it could not surpass the Golden Dragon, the ancestor of strength!

"Junior Brother, remember this: at the academy, you can offend anyone, but never offend that freshman with the Golden Dragon Martial Soul. His future is unimaginably terrifying. Even now, his strength is probably beyond imagination!"

Thinking back to Beibei's solemn warning before he and Tang Ya had parted ways with him, Huo Yuhao's feelings were extremely complicated.

Could hard work... truly not compare to talent?

After shaking his head hard and casting away the distracting thoughts in his mind, Huo Yuhao arrived at the freshman dormitory building.

"Hello, Grandpa. This is my dormitory key." Seeing Mu En lying in a reclining chair and basking in the sun, Huo Yuhao walked over and respectfully held out his key.

Mu En opened his eyes by a sliver, took Huo Yuhao's dormitory key, and held it up before his eyes.

"Go on. Dormitory 108 is the third room on the left side of the first floor. Starting from the fourth floor are the girls' dormitories. You are not allowed up there. If discovered, you will be expelled."

"Thank you, Grandpa." Huo Yuhao took back the key, bowed once more, and headed toward the dormitory building.

Watching Huo Yuhao's departing back, Mu En's reclining chair swayed slightly, and a smile curled across his lips.

"A rare polite child."

But unlike Lin Yun, Huo Yuhao clearly had not given Shrek's strongest person even a hint of cheat-like shock.
