This time, even Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but click her tongue inwardly. First, she could endure hardship; second, she had received an excellent upbringing. Yet even she couldn't help complaining to Xiao Wu after seeing this scene.
"Is this also an Advanced Soul Master Academy?"
Yun Qi ignored their complaints and looked at the Elder before him. The Elder also bent at the waist and saluted.
"May I ask which Your Excellency you are?"
Seeing the Elder sitting with such a lowly posture, Yun Qi stepped forward to help him up and replied:
"I'm a new student here to attend Shrek!"
An incredulous look spread across the Elder's eyes. There were very few Spirit Masters in the entire Spirit Master world who could use Sword Flight, and they were all basically famous figures! Yet this young man before him actually claimed to be a new student.
Seeing the suspicion in the Elder's gaze, Yun Qi directly explained:
"Senior, my name is Yun Qi. The two beside me and I are all here to enroll. I can use Sword Flight because I obtained an extremely suitable Spirit Ring."
After hearing this explanation, the Elder slightly recovered his posture and once again became languid.
"Since you're here to enroll, line up over there."
Yun Qi had no objections. At least he didn't bear much ill will toward this Elder, who was merely acting under orders.
After speaking, the three of them walked to the back of the line and joined the queue, chatting with the Two Girls.
The registration process was very simple: pay the money and have your bones examined!
Once the first person began, the Elder pointed directly at the box beside him.
"Registration Fee: ten Gold Soul Coins."
The boy's parents painfully handed over ten Gold Soul Coins. Though reluctant, this academy claimed that graduates could obtain the status of an imperial baron, attracting most parents and children who were full of expectations for the future.
After the boy's parents paid, the Elder casually felt the boy's hand before shaking his head at him.
"Age doesn't meet the requirements. Next!"
Upon hearing this, the boy's parents immediately took several more Gold Soul Coins from their clothes and placed them in the wooden box. With ingratiating smiles, they said to the Elder:
"Teacher, my child is only fourteen this year. Can't you make an exception?"
The Elder shook his head, his tone still languid.
"Those are the Rules of the academy. We only accept students under thirteen. Your child is already fourteen. If he isn't suitable, then he isn't suitable!"
Seeing this, the boy's parents immediately prepared to take their money back out of the wooden box.
But just as the hand approached the box, the Elder struck it away.
"Once the registration fee has been paid, it is nonrefundable!"
Seeing this, the boy's parents immediately began cursing the Elder before them.
"Damn Shrek! My son is a Genius wherever you put him, yet your academy has the nerve to throw away its future! Any Genius stronger than my son could go anywhere better than this godforsaken place! Just wait until you fail to recruit students and go bankrupt! You're even cheating people out of their Registration Fee! Give us our money back!"
The Elder's brows drew tightly together. Clearly, the boy's parents' words had struck a nerve.
"Mubai, someone's here to cause trouble. Deal with it."
Yun Qi looked at Dai Mu before him and couldn't help but sigh. The healers in Douluo were quite impressive. They had restored Dai Mubai, who had been covered in injuries, in just a few days!
Hearing the Elder's words, Dai Mubai leaped down from the tree, patted the dust from his body, and pointed at the parents ahead of him.
"We can give you your Registration Fee back, but you have to defeat me first!"
As he spoke, Dai Mubai didn't waste any time. He directly revealed his Spirit Rings: Two Yellow and one Purple. His Soul Power instantly generated waves of pressure that bore down on the boy and his parents together.
The boy and his parents could only curse their luck at encountering such a shameless student.
Yun Qi watched it all, inwardly sighing. As the saying went, birds of a feather flock together.
Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu beside him were also furious. One was a student, and the other was a Prince, yet they had no backbone at all and only bullied the weak!
Seeing this, Yun Qi quietly comforted the Two Women.
"Since we all dislike the people in this academy so much, why don't we cause them a little trouble whenever we have nothing to do? We can take them for a ride!"
Seeing the wicked grin on Yun Qi's face, Xiao Wu and Little Cat seemed to have developed some evil ideas as well. They nodded like pecking chicks.
Seeing that both women agreed with his idea, Yun Qi couldn't help but sigh. My troublemaking team is growing even stronger!
While the three of them were discussing this, those in the line who lacked confidence in their strength left directly. Some others decided that this was a Liar academy. Those remaining were basically little prodigies who were extremely confident in their own strength.
But after those little prodigies paid their Soul Coins, they were also mercilessly told by the Elder that they had failed. Their ages were sufficient, but their Soul Power was not!
The Elder looked at the line before him and spoke loudly:
"Shrek is a kind of monster. Among Soul Beasts, it is an extremely strange and rare existence. That is why our academy is called Shrek Academy, also known as Monster Academy! If you're not a monster-like Genius, don't come!"
Yun Qi laughed when he heard this. A Shrek of that sort actually represented the elite among Soul Beasts. He turned his head and quietly asked Xiao Wu:
"Xiao Wu, how strong are Shreks among your Soul Beasts? Are there any Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts that are Shreks?"
Xiao Wu rolled her eyes at Yun Qi and said irritably:
"What do you think a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast is? 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 Shreks? I never paid much attention to them. They look disgusting, and there are barely even any ten-thousand-year-old ones in their clan!"
After hearing Xiao Wu's words, Yun Qi indicated that he understood.
At this moment, the Elder looked at the surrounding crowd, seemingly dissatisfied. Then he suddenly released his full Aura. Red light spread across his entire body, and a Long Staff covered in patterns appeared in his hand. Six Spirit Rings suddenly lit up around him!
The light of the Spirit Rings flared, making Yun Qi blink several times. Still, a Six-Ring Soul Master was among the highest-ranking figures in a place like the Balak Kingdom. He really could show off.
The surrounding parents and boys hurriedly left, not mentioning the Registration Fee at all!
Dai Mubai beside them cautiously reminded the Elder:
"Teacher, we suddenly scared away all these Suckers, so we've lost a lot of Gold Soul Coins. The dean will get angry if he finds out!"
The Elder was also stunned. He withdrew his Martial Soul, struck his own head with his hand, and muttered to Dai Mubai:
"It's not just the Gold Soul Coins now. We don't have any students left either!"
Dai Mubai looked at the Elder with a sympathetic gaze.
The Elder felt a wave of headache coming on. Just as he was wondering how to resolve the situation, he discovered that there were actually four people still present!
Dai Mubai followed the Elder's gaze. The moment he saw them, he was scared senseless. When Yun Qi had arrived, Dai Mubai had happened to be sleeping in the tree and hadn't seen him. Later, when Yun Qi joined the line, the crowd had blocked him from view.
When Yun Qi saw Dai Mubai looking at him, he bared his teeth and smiled at him.
Dai Mubai was far too familiar with that smile. After being beaten up back then, Yun Qi had smiled as he took all of Dai Mubai's money! Dai Mubai had even needed Zhao Wuji to pay for the treatment Spirit Master he went to find!
Dai Mubai couldn't afford to care about losing face now. He immediately said to the Elder:
"Teacher, that brat over there was the one who beat me into that state. He robbed my money, and he even stole my Fiancee!"
The Elder's eyes lit up when he heard Dai Mubai's words. A boy who could beat Dai Mubai into that state was definitely no ordinary person. This time, he could finally report back.
Before the Elder could say anything, Xiao Wu jumped out and pointed at Dai Mubai's nose as she cursed:
"What the hell are you talking about? You ran for your life and abandoned your Fiancee, indulged in debauchery, and even flirted with the Twins! After you were discovered, you still wouldn't stop pestering her. Beating you was already going easy on you. If Zhu Qing hadn't been afraid you'd die, you wouldn't even have been able to withstand one move from my Brother!"
Dai Mubai's face turned red, then green, clearly pushed past his breaking point!
