Shrek Academy.
Today was the day new students registered at Shrek Academy. To every eleven- or twelve-year-old on the Douluo Continent, Shrek Academy—the school that had defeated the "evil" Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago—was the most coveted academy.
For those boys and girls, getting into the academy had become an obsession. It seemed that entering this school would bring glory to their ancestors.
It was truly rather absurd.
Mo Yan and Dugu Luo followed Dugu Yan to Shrek City. As Dugu Yan stared at the city before her, those cold memories flooded her mind like a tide. Back then, she had held her daughter and knelt before Shrek Academy, begging for help, but those people had merely looked down on her from on high, prattling on about how the academy was fair.
They had ruthlessly rejected her and the Dugu family under the banner of righteousness. How ironic!
Her ancestor had brought so many benefits to the original Shrek Academy. Even those immortal herbs had been given by her ancestor. Otherwise, how could those so-called Shrek Seven Devils have defeated Spirit Hall? In the end, her ancestor had simply been blind.
Why did Dugu Yan know so much? She had pieced it all together from the notes left behind by her two ancestors, Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo. And that so-called Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect—what devotion to his woman? In the end, her uncle had said just one word, and he had immediately abandoned his wife and daughter.
"The past is the past. There's no need to keep dwelling on it."
Mo Yan, lying across Dugu Luo's shoulder, sensed the resentment surrounding Dugu Yan and kindly reminded her.
"Right~" At Mo Yan's reminder, the resentment around Dugu Yan gradually dissipated. "Once Lord Holy Lord obtains that destiny, there will be no need for this academy to exist."
Seeing the resentment leave Dugu Yan, Mo Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She had truly been afraid that Dugu Yan would suddenly lose control. Who wouldn't rage and lose control over something like that?
Dugu Bo had invested so much, only to end up drawing water with a bamboo basket. He lost both his wife and his soldiers. Oh! No, at least he had become a Shrek Guest Elder.
Dugu Bo:
"Mom~" Seeing that her mother's emotions were clearly off, Dugu Luo stepped forward and took her hand.
She knew how much pain, resentment, and...
"A Luo, Mom is fine. Now that we've met Lord Holy Lord, everything will get better." Dugu Yan reached out and stroked Dugu Luo's head. "A Luo, once you get to the academy, take care of Lady Mo Yan. Lord Holy Lord said she's far too lazy, so you may have to clean up after her."
"I understand."
Dugu Luo agreed without the slightest hesitation. Meeting Lord Holy Lord had been a divine blessing for her and her mother. Unlike their ancestor Dugu Bo, who had met that Tang San—he was nothing but a White-Eyed Wolf.
Even the detoxification method had only treated the symptoms, not the root cause!
Just how had ancestor Dugu Bo's brain been wired?
Dugu Bo:
Dugu Bo would never have imagined that ten thousand years later, his descendants would constantly curse him for being stupid and brainless.
Mo Yan looked at the bustling street ahead, and her face immediately fell. She truly did not want to move. Couldn't that main body of hers have just sent Dugu Luo alone?
"I'll leave you two here. If anything happens, use the communicator to contact me directly."
Dugu Yan sensed several Soul Fighting Douluos approaching. After giving the two of them her instructions, she immediately left and headed toward the house Lord Holy Lord had arranged for her.
The house in Shrek City naturally belonged to the new Dragon Slave, while the communicator was a first-grade Soul Tool developed by Jin Tianming. Though it was only a semi-finished product, being able to make calls at this stage was enough.
As for the communication medium, it was naturally maintained by Tang Dog's divine soul.
Tang Dog's divine soul was practically treasure from head to toe. When Tian Mucheng and Jin Tianming discovered that it could not only sustain the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's small world but also serve as a communication medium, it was simply an astonishing surprise!
Hearing her mother's instructions, Dugu Luo obediently nodded. Mo Yan had already slumped back onto Dugu Luo's shoulder like a dead dog.
"Whoa! Are they the proctors for this exam?"
"It's actually Soul Fighting Douluo Director Du!"
"That uncle is a Soul Fighting Douluo? How is he so young? My grandfather only became a Soul Fighting Douluo at that age."
"Idiot! This is Shrek Academy, the number one academy on the Douluo Continent. Would the Outer Court's Martial Soul Department director be weak?"
"Exactly, exactly!"
"..."
Dugu Luo silently stared in the direction her mother had disappeared. The whispers of those boys and girls drifted into her ears, and she slowly turned her head as though waking from a dream. That one glance was like lightning tearing through the night sky, instantly igniting the blaze of fury in her heart. "Du Wilun!"
When her gaze fell upon that bespectacled middle-aged man, her fists involuntarily clenched and her teeth ground together. She forced the man's name out through gritted teeth.
On the surface, he was the glamorous Outer Court director of Shrek Academy's Martial Soul Department, looking kind and approachable. In truth, he was cold and heartless.
"Ah~" Seeing Dugu Luo like this, Mo Yan thought that mother and daughter truly had the same temperament. She really did not know who would be taking care of whom in the future. She took Dugu Luo's soft little hand. "Be good. It's not time yet. Don't make things difficult for your Lord Holy Lord!"
At Mo Yan's reminder, the anger in Dugu Luo's heart instantly vanished without a trace. No matter how angry she was, she could not ruin Lord Holy Lord's plans.
"Tsk~" Seeing Dugu Luo immediately return to normal, Mo Yan could not help thinking, As expected of that guy's most loyal little fangirl. One sentence settled her.
After dealing with Dugu Luo, Mo Yan's lazy gaze fell upon Du Wilun ahead. A Soul Fighting Douluo, and his martial soul seemed to be the rare Fire Element martial soul. He also appeared to be the dog of that petty Dean Yan.
"Hm?"
Du Wilun sensed someone's gaze brazenly scrutinizing him. His Soul Fighting Douluo-level Spiritual Power swiftly caught the owner of that gaze.
They were two eleven- or twelve-year-old girls.
Seeing that the two girls were watching him, Du Wilun assumed they admired him just like the other boys and girls and did not think much of it. He began explaining today's test. "Everyone, I am Du Wilun, director of Shrek Academy Outer Court's Martial Soul Department, and I am responsible for your new student entrance examination!"
"First, pay the ten Gold Soul Coin tuition fee. Only then can you begin the entrance examination."
"Pfft~" A sudden laugh rang out among the silent boys and girls. Du Wilun shot an unfriendly look in that direction. Seeing it was the two girls from before, he unhappily pushed up his glasses, but still asked gently, "You two, is there something so funny that you had to laugh out loud?"
As Du Wilun's words fell, the boys and girls all turned to look over. They were also curious which genius had laughed at a time like this.
Dugu Luo also looked blankly at Mo Yan, who had suddenly laughed beside her. Didn't you just tell me not to get angry? Why did you suddenly laugh out loud yourself?
"Sorry, I remembered that my dog is about to give birth." Mo Yan suppressed the urge in her heart and covered her mouth as she explained.
"What dog giving birth could possibly be so funny?"
Hearing that answer, Du Wilun's expression darkened. That explanation was clearly just fooling around.
Seeing that Du Wilun still would not let it go, Mo Yan decided to go all in. "Uncle, my dog's nickname is Tang Dog, and her full name is Tang San Dog. She's about to give birth to two dog babies."
"My Elder Brother named the unborn puppies. The female dog will be called Tang Tong Dog, and the male dog will be called Tang Lin Dog. Teacher, do you think those names are okay?"
Du Wilun:
The other proctors:
The boys and girls:
Dugu Luo: 6. As expected of Sister Mo Yan!
Tang Dog: Is no one going to speak up for me?
Readers: Speak up my ass!
