Xiao Wu had clearly known nothing about this academy just now, so why did she suddenly seem so interested?
It was obviously just some tiny place. What was there to see?
This only made Mo Bai even more curious.
"We can go take a look!"
Mo Bai had always believed that Xiao Wu's background was far from ordinary. Since Master had recommended it, and Xiao Wu seemed so interested as well, Mo Bai felt they could go have a look.
As for whether they would change their minds and join the so-called Shrek Academy, they could decide after seeing it.
Without seeing it with his own eyes, Mo Bai found it hard to believe that such a small place could produce any top-tier academy.
If it truly were a top-tier academy, it should not be so obscure.
If it was obscure, there had to be a reason why it had no reputation.
Before long, Mo Bai, Xiao Wu, and the others all graduated from Nuoding Academy.
Upon graduation, the key Intermediate Spirit Master Academies of Fasnuo Province, as well as several major Intermediate Spirit Master Academies within the kingdom, learned that Nuoding Academy had produced three geniuses and all sent invitations to the trio, inviting them to study at their academies.
There were even advanced academies that invited Mo Bai, after all, he was already level 31!
Unfortunately, Mo Bai and the others turned them all down.
Even if they visited Shrek Academy and found it lacking, Mo Bai would not join any of those academies in the kingdom.
If he was going, he would naturally go to the best one.
After graduating, Mo Bai returned to Meilin Village once more.
Mo Bai felt that this would probably be his last time returning. After all, he had no family here; it was merely a place where he had spent three years.
In terms of attachment, it did not even compare to Nuoding Academy.
Half a month later, Mo Bai, Xiao Wu, and Tang San arrived at Shrek Academy outside Suotuo City.
"No way, this is the top-tier academy Master recommended?"
"This is just some rundown village, isn't it?"
When Xiao Wu saw the words "Shrek Academy" at the village entrance, she cried out in disbelief and turned to look at Tang San.
Are you sure this is the Shrek Academy we were looking for?
Looking at the Shrek Academy before him, Mo Bai was equally incredulous.
This was the place Master had recommended to Tang San?
Although he had issues with Master, Mo Bai still acknowledged Master's vast knowledge and insight.
"This..."
Faced with Xiao Wu's questioning gaze, Tang San felt somewhat embarrassed as well.
"Let's go in and take a look. Since Master recommended it, there must be something different about it!"
Mo Bai spoke from the side, then took the lead and walked in.
"Mo Bai, wait for me!"
Xiao Wu hurried after him.
Tang San silently followed.
"Who are you?"
Not long after entering, Mo Bai and the others were stopped by someone—an elderly man with graying hair.
"Hello, may I ask if this is Shrek Academy?"
Mo Bai looked at him and asked politely.
From the old man, Mo Bai sensed a faint Spirit Pressure even stronger than that of Nuoding Academy's Dean, immediately putting him on alert.
This old man was probably stronger than Nuoding Academy's Dean.
Even a gatekeeper possessed such strength. This Shrek Academy seemed to have some merit after all.
"That's right, this is Shrek Academy. What are you here for?"
Li Yusong nodded, carefully examining the three of them. He was secretly surprised as well. They looked quite young, yet their bearing was extraordinary, and the Soul Power he could faintly sense from them was clearly not low.
"Hello, Teacher. My name is Tang San. I came to join Shrek Academy at my teacher's instruction!"
"The two of them are my classmates. They came this time to inspect Shrek Academy first as well!"
Tang San spoke at this point, explaining the situation.
"Inspect our academy? What arrogance!"
"It seems you think your talents are quite extraordinary!"
Hearing that students had actually come to inspect the academy first, Li Yusong was so irritated that he nearly laughed.
No wonder they had come early, before the admissions test had even begun!
"I'll start with the simplest requirement: anyone who wants to enter Shrek Academy must be no older than twelve, and their Soul Power Level must be above level 20!"
Li Yusong then stated the most basic admission requirement.
"That's easy! We all meet that!"
"Forget level 20. Mo Bai and I are already level 31, and Tang San isn't far behind either—he's level 29 now!"
Hearing Li Yusong state the same condition Master had mentioned, Xiao Wu immediately knew that this really was Shrek Academy. She stepped forward with a smug look on her face.
That was right. A few days before graduation, Xiao Wu had also broken through level 30. The next day, she had successfully hunted a Thousand-Year Spirit Ring!
The Spirit Skill she gained made even Mo Bai extremely envious.
It was actually Teleportation!
Mo Bai had been stunned. From what he knew, special Spirit Skills like Teleportation were generally very difficult to obtain.
Spirit Beasts possessing such a skill were not only rare and hard to find, but also extremely difficult to hunt!
If Xiao Wu still claimed she had no background after that, Mo Bai wouldn't believe her even if he were beaten to death.
"What?"
"Level 31? And there are two of them? The other one is level 29?"
Even Li Yusong, a level 63 Spirit Emperor, was startled by Xiao Wu's words.
"None of you are over twelve?"
Still shocked, Li Yusong hurriedly asked again.
Now, he no longer dared to say that these children were merely talking big. If they truly possessed such talent, it was perfectly reasonable for them to come and take a look.
"Of course not!"
Xiao Wu proudly raised her chin, thoroughly pleased by his expression.
Serves you right for underestimating us.
"How about this? If you don't mind, let me test you."
Li Yusong rubbed his hands together and spoke eagerly.
"That's fine, Teacher!"
Before Mo Bai or Xiao Wu could say anything, Tang San answered first.
Whether Mo Bai and Xiao Wu would join Shrek Academy was still undecided.
But Tang San was certain that he would join, so naturally he was willing to accept the test from a teacher here!
"Is a test still necessary? I have the certification Spirit Hall just issued me. This should be enough to prove everything, right? Mine was certified a month ago!"
Mo Bai frowned, then took out his Soul Elder certification.
"And mine. I was certified half a month ago!"
Seeing Mo Bai's action, Xiao Wu hurriedly took hers out as well.
"That works too. Let me take a look!"
Li Yusong naturally nodded in agreement.
Spirit Hall's certifications were still highly authoritative.
The reason their academy still conducted tests was because certifications were issued whenever a Spirit Master's rank increased, and they could not represent everything. Using Spirit Hall certifications as the standard would put them at a disadvantage.
However, since Mo Bai and Xiao Wu had only been certified recently, there was no problem.
