At the entrance to Shrek Academy, Tang San and Xiao Wu had already gone in ahead and reached the Second Gate.
Luo Ling then brought Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing before the old man.
After confirming their bone ages in order and finding no issues, the old man gestured for Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing to release their Martial Souls.
Cat ears and a cat tail grew from Zhu Zhuqing, claws extending from her hands as well. Two yellow Soul Rings appeared.
The old man nodded. When it came to Ning Rongrong, his eyes widened the instant she released her Martial Soul.
Two yellow and one purple—three Soul Rings in all!
And...
A magnificent pagoda floated before Ning Rongrong, with a full nine levels.
Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. So Ning Fengzhi really did keep the Aromatic Silk Beauty... Luo Ling's eyes flickered as he gazed at the pagoda in the air.
"This is the Seven... no, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?" The old man could no longer remain seated and abruptly sprang from his chair.
"Do you truly wish to join our Shrek Academy?" the old man could not help asking.
"Is there a problem?"
"Does your family know?"
Ning Rongrong did not answer. Instead, she glanced at Luo Ling beside her.
Understanding her meaning, Luo Ling stepped forward with a light smile. "I'm Rong Rong's cousin. Your academy seems rather interesting, so we came to take a look."
"Rong Rong's father knows about it."
Only then did the old man notice Luo Ling. He was stunned for a moment by Luo Ling's elegant, flawless appearance before coming back to his senses.
"In that case, you may go in." He waved his hand.
"You stay behind. Non-students are not allowed inside the academy," he added to Luo Ling.
