Shrek Academy

Xiao Wu had obviously never heard of this academy before, so why did she suddenly seem so taken with it?

It was clearly just some small place. What was so good about going there?

This 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 simple. Since Grandmaster had recommended it, and Xiao Wu seemed so interested, Mo Bai felt they could go have a look.

As for whether they should change their minds and join this so-called Shrek Academy, they could decide after seeing it.

Unless he saw 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 really was a top-tier academy, it should not have remained unknown.

If it was unknown, there had to be a reason why it had no reputation.

Before long, Mo Bai, Xiao Wu, and the others all graduated from Notting Academy.

Upon graduation, the key Intermediate Soul Master Academy of Fasinuo Province and several major intermediate academies within the kingdom all learned that Notting Academy had produced three geniuses and sent invitations to Mo Bai and the other two, inviting them to study at their academies.

There were even advanced academies that sent invitations to Mo Bai, after all, he had already reached level 30!

Unfortunately, Mo Bai and the others all turned them down.

Even if Shrek Academy proved disappointing after they visited, Mo Bai would not join any of those academies in the kingdom.

If he was going somewhere, it naturally had to be the best.

After graduating, Mo Bai returned to Meilin Village once more.

Mo Bai felt that this would probably be his last time coming back. 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 Notting 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 Grandmaster introduced?"

"This is just a rundown village, isn't it?"

When Xiao Wu saw the words "Shrek Academy" at the village entrance, she immediately cried out in disbelief, then turned to look at Tang San.

Are you sure this is the Shrek Academy we were looking for?

Mo Bai looked at the Shrek Academy before him and was equally incredulous.

This was where Grandmaster had recommended Tang San come?

Although Mo Bai had his issues with Grandmaster, he still acknowledged Grandmaster's extensive knowledge and insight.

"This..."

Faced with Xiao Wu's questioning gaze, Tang San felt a little awkward as well.

"Let's go in and take a look. Since Grandmaster 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 hurriedly followed.

Tang San silently followed behind them.

"Who are you?"

Not long after entering, Mo Bai and the others were stopped by someone—a grizzled old man.

"Hello, is this Shrek Academy?"

Mo Bai looked at him and asked politely.

From the old man, Mo Bai sensed a faint Soul Pressure even stronger than that of the Dean of Notting Academy, and his heart immediately tightened.

This old man was probably stronger than the Dean of Notting Academy.

Even a gatekeeper possessed such strength. It seemed this Shrek Academy did have some merit after all.

"That's right, this is Shrek Academy. What are you here for?"

Li Yusong nodded and scrutinized the three of them. He was secretly startled as well. They looked young, yet carried extraordinary bearing, and the Soul Power he could vaguely 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!"

Tang San spoke up then and explained the situation.

"Inspect our academy? What arrogance!"

"Looks like you think your talents are quite extraordinary!"

Hearing that some 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 tests 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 at least level 20!"

Li Yusong then stated the most basic admissions requirement.

"That's easy. We all meet that!"

"Forget level 20—Mo Bai and I are already level 30. Even Tang San isn't far behind; he's level 29 now!"

When Xiao Wu heard Li Yusong state the same conditions Grandmaster had told them about, she immediately knew this really was Shrek Academy. She stepped forward and declared smugly.

That was right. A few days before graduation, Xiao Wu had also broken through to level 30. The next day, she had successfully obtained a Thousand Year Soul Ring!

The Soul Skill she gained had left even Mo Bai intensely envious.

It was actually Teleport!

Mo Bai was stunned. From what he knew, special Soul Skills like Teleport were generally very difficult to obtain.

Not only were Soul Beasts with this kind of Soul Skill rare and hard to find, but they were also extremely difficult to hunt!

If Xiao Wu still claimed she had no background after this, Mo Bai wouldn't believe her even if he were beaten to death.

"What?"

"Level 30? And there are two of them? The other one is level 29?"

Even Li Yusong, a level 63 Soul 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 these children were merely talking big. If they truly possessed such talent, then it was perfectly reasonable for them to come and check the academy out!

"Of course not!"

Xiao Wu proudly raised her chin, thoroughly pleased by his expression.

Serves you right for looking down on us.

"How about this? If you don't mind, I'll test you myself!"

Li Yusong rubbed his hands together and quickly said.

"That's fine, Teacher!"

Before Mo Bai and Xiao Wu could speak, Tang San answered first.

It was still undecided whether Mo Bai and Xiao Wu would join Shrek Academy together.

But Tang San was definitely joining, so naturally he was willing to accept a test from one of the academy's teachers!

"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 Certificate.

"And mine. I was certified half a month ago!"

Seeing Mo Bai's action, Xiao Wu quickly took hers out as well.

"That works too. Let me see!"

Li Yusong naturally nodded in agreement.

Spirit Hall's certificates were still highly authoritative.

The academy tested applicants because certificates were issued whenever a Soul Master advanced in rank, and thus could not represent everything. If they used Spirit Hall's certificates as the standard, the academy would be at a disadvantage.

But since Mo Bai and Xiao Wu's certificates had only just been issued, there was no problem.
