This time, even Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help clicking her tongue inwardly. She could endure hardship and had good manners, but even she couldn't help complaining to Xiao Wu when she saw this scene.
"This is an Advanced Soul Master Academy?"
Yun Qi ignored their complaints and looked at the elder before him. The elder bent at the waist and gave a bow.
"May I ask who you are?"
Seeing how low the Elder had humbled himself, Yun Qi stepped forward to help him up and replied,
"I'm a new student here to attend Shrek Academy!"
Disbelief filled the Elder's eyes. There were not many Spirit Masters in the entire Spirit Master world capable of Sword Flight, and they were basically all famous figures! Yet this person claimed to be a new student.
Seeing the Elder's doubtful gaze, Yun Qi explained directly,
"Senior, my name is Yun Qi. The two beside me and I have all come to enroll. I can use Sword Flight because I obtained an extremely suitable Spirit Ring."
After hearing that explanation, the Elder recovered some of his composure and became lazy-looking again.
"Since you're here to enroll, line up over there."
Yun Qi had no objections. At the very least, he did not hold much ill will toward the Elder. The man was merely following orders.
After saying that, Yun Qi and the two girls went to the back of the line and began chatting.
The registration process was simple. Pay the money and have your bones checked.
When the first person stepped up, the Elder pointed directly at the box beside him.
"The registration fee is ten Gold Soul Coins."
The boy's parents painfully handed over ten Gold Soul Coins. Though reluctant, the academy claimed that graduates could obtain the status of an imperial viscount, so it attracted many parents and children filled with hopes for the future.
After the boy's parents paid, the Elder casually felt the boy's hand, then shook his head at him.
"Age doesn't qualify. Next!"
Hearing that, the boy's parents immediately took several more Gold Soul Coins from their clothes and placed them into the wooden box. Smiling ingratiatingly, they said to the Elder,
"Teacher, our child is only fourteen this year. Could you perhaps make an exception?"
The Elder shook his head, his tone still lazy.
"Academy rules. We only accept students under thirteen. Your child is already fourteen. Unsuitable means unsuitable!"
Seeing this, the boy's parents directly prepared to take their money back from the wooden box.
However, just as their hand approached the box, the Elder struck it away.
"Once registered, fees will not be refunded!"
The boy's parents immediately cursed at the Elder before them.
"Trash Shrek! My son would be a genius anywhere. Your academy can just stay awake and rot! Any genius stronger than my son could go anywhere—why come to this godforsaken place? Just wait until you can't recruit any students and go bankrupt! You're even scamming people out of registration fees! Give the money back, now!"
The Elder frowned deeply. Clearly, the boy's parents' words had struck a sore spot.
"Mubai, someone's causing trouble here. Handle it!"
Seeing Dai Mubai before him, Yun Qi couldn't Help but Sigh. The healers in Douluo were pretty impressive. In just a few days, they had restored Dai Mubai, who had been covered in injuries, to full health!
Hearing the Elder's words, Dai Mubai leaped down from the tree, dusted himself off, and pointed at the family ahead.
"You can have your registration fee back, but first, you have to beat me!"
As he spoke, Dai Mubai did not waste any time. He directly revealed his Spirit Rings—two yellow and one purple. His Soul Power generated waves of pressure out of thin air, pressing down on both the boy and his parents.
The boy and his parents inwardly cursed their bad luck for running into such a shameless student.
Yun Qi watched everything unfold. Sure enough, birds of a feather flocked together.
Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu beside him were furious as well. One was a student, the other a prince, yet neither had the slightest backbone. They only knew how to bully the weak!
Seeing this, Yun Qi softly comforted the two women.
"Since we all hate the people in this academy so much, how about we play some tricks on them whenever we're free and screw them over?"
Seeing the mischievous smile on Yun Qi's face, something evil seemed to sprout within Xiao Wu and Little Cat as well. They nodded like pecking chickens.
Seeing that the two women had both agreed with his idea, Yun Qi couldn't help but sigh. His team for scamming people would grow stronger again in the future!
While the three discussed their plans, those in the line who lacked confidence in their strength simply left. Others believed this academy was a scam. Those who remained were basically little Geniuses extremely confident in their own abilities.
However, after those little Geniuses paid their Gold Soul Coins, the Elder ruthlessly informed them that they had failed. Their age qualified, but their Soul Power did not!
Looking at the line before him, the Elder spoke loudly.
"Shrek is a type of monster, an extremely strange and rare existence even among Spirit Beasts. That's why our academy is called Shrek Academy, also known as Monster Academy! If you're not a monster-level genius, don't come!"
Yun Qi laughed when he heard that. Shrek, that kind of Spirit Beast, actually represented the Geniuses among Spirit Beasts? He turned and quietly asked Xiao Wu,
"Xiao Wu, how strong are Shrek among you Spirit Beasts? Are there any Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts that are Shrek?"
Xiao Wu rolled her eyes at Yun Qi and said listlessly,
"What do you think Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts are? As far as I know, there are only three of us in the Star Dou Great Forest, and you've met all of us! As for Shrek? I've never paid much attention to them. They're too ugly, and there aren't even many ten-thousand-year ones in their clan!"
Yun Qi indicated that he understood after hearing Xiao Wu's words.
At that moment, the elder looked at the surrounding crowd, seemingly dissatisfied. Then he suddenly unleashed his aura. Red light filled his body, and a long staff covered in patterns appeared in his hand. Six Spirit Rings lit up around him!
The light of the Spirit Rings made Yun Qi blink several extra times! Still, a Six-Ring Soul Master in a place like the Balak Kingdom was considered among the upper ranks. He really did have the qualifications to show off.
The surrounding parents and youths hurriedly left, not mentioning the registration fee again!
Dai Mubai, standing nearby, cautiously reminded the Elder before him.
"Teacher, we just scared all those Suckers away. We've lost a lot of Gold Soul Coins. The dean will be angry if he finds out!"
The elder froze, withdrew his Martial Soul, and smacked his own head with his hand. He muttered to Dai Mubai,
"Now it's not just the Gold Soul Coins. We don't have any students left either!"
Dai Mubai looked at the Elder with pity in His Eyes.
The Elder felt a headache coming on. Just as he was thinking about how to solve the problem, he discovered that there were still four people on the grounds!
Dai Mubai followed the Elder's gaze, then was immediately scared stiff. When Yun Qi arrived earlier, Dai Mubai had happened to be sleeping in the tree and had not seen him. By the time Yun Qi lined up, he had been blocked by the crowd.
Seeing Dai Mubai staring at him, Yun Qi bared his teeth and smiled at him!
Dai Mubai knew that smile all too well. Back then, after beating him up, Yun Qi had smiled as he took all his money! It had even forced Dai Mubai to borrow money from Zhao Wuji to pay for a healing Spirit Master!
Dai Mubai could no longer care about losing face. He immediately said to the Elder,
"Teacher, that brat over there is the one who beat me into that state. Not only did he rob me of my money, he even stole my fiancée!"
Hearing Dai Mubai's words, the Elder's eyes lit up. A youth who could beat Dai Mubai into that state was definitely no ordinary person. Now he could finally report back.
Before the Elder could speak, Xiao Wu jumped out and pointed at Dai Mubai's nose as she cursed.
"What bullshit! You ran away to save your own life, abandoned your fiancée, spent your days drinking and whoring around, and even hooked up with twins! After being discovered, you still kept pestering her. Beating you up was already going easy on you. If Zhu Qing hadn't been afraid you would die, you wouldn't even have been able to take a single move from my brother!"
Dai Mubai's face turned red, then green upon hearing that. Clearly, his defenses had been completely shattered!
