So Shameless—This Is Shrek Academy

Shrek Academy was located in a small village not far from Suotuo City's southern gate.

Never mind how good the academy actually was—just looking at its location, it was obvious that it was a complete amateur outfit.

It could only attract young Soul Masters who did not know any better by boasting that it did not accept geniuses, only monsters.

Whether it was the teachers' teaching ability or the resources it could provide, everything about it was abysmal.

Yet when Luo Ye and Zhu Zhuqing arrived, there were still over a hundred people lined up outside Shrek Academy's gate.

Very few among them actually met Shrek Academy's admission requirements. Most simply believed that an academy in a village might not be too strict when recruiting students. What if they had a chance to get in?

Unfortunately, students who harbored such thoughts were destined to be disappointed.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at the shabby wooden archway, with the words "Shrek Academy" written across it, and immediately felt disappointed. She spoke softly.

"Luo Ye, I feel even more strongly now that Shrek Academy doesn't deserve you."

In truth, after seeing Dai Mubai take a pair of twins into a hotel yesterday, Zhu Zhuqing's heart had already gone cold. Whether she came to Shrek Academy or not made no difference to her.

Zhu Zhuqing had even considered taking the initiative to suggest that Luo Ye go to Spirit Hall, so he would not waste his time at Shrek Academy.

She had only abandoned that thought after seeing Luo Ye write in his diary that he wanted to try taking Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong with them as well.

Otherwise, she and Luo Ye would probably already be on their way to Spirit Hall by now.

Even though she had been mentally prepared, Zhu Zhuqing was still speechless after seeing Shrek Academy's true state.

No wonder Dai Mubai had acted so arrogantly yesterday.

Back in the Star Luo Empire, Dai Weisi had kept him in check. Now, at this so-called Shrek Academy, he had instead become a prized favorite. Having grown accustomed to being flattered, Dai Mubai had naturally become inflated with self-importance.

Faced with Zhu Zhuqing's complaint, Luo Ye remained surprisingly calm, as if he had truly experienced it before. He turned and comforted her instead.

"It's fine. We can go in and take a look first. If we really feel it doesn't suit us later, we can always withdraw."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded and was about to say something else when an argument suddenly broke out ahead.

Zhu Zhuqing and Luo Ye looked up at the same time, only to see a father and son arguing with Shrek Academy's admissions teacher.

"Why won't you refund the registration fee? We haven't even entered your academy! You just felt my son's wrist and said he was too old, and now you want to keep our registration fee?"

"That's ten Gold Soul Coins! You're clearly scamming people out of their money!"

The outburst caused quite a commotion. Everyone looked ahead, wanting to see what Shrek Academy would do.

Luo Ye frowned at the scene and immediately began writing in his diary.

Just like in my previous life, these people from Shrek Academy act like they can barely survive. They merely feel a student's bones, reject them on the grounds that they are over the age limit, and refuse to return the registration fee—an entire ten Gold Soul Coins.

From the moment I saw this in my previous life, my impression of Shrek Academy became extremely poor. Especially after learning about the conduct of the teachers and students inside, it only strengthened my resolve to leave.

That so-called school motto of theirs, saying that those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre—wasn't that just teaching students to bully the weak and fear the strong?

They freely humiliate the weak, yet do not dare say a single extra word before the strong. What right do such people have to be academy teachers?

I never expected that after being reborn, I would have to endure this disgust and remain here instead.

There's nothing more to say. Once I find a way to persuade Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, I must leave this foul academy immediately.

Zhu Zhuqing finally understood why Luo Ye had left Shrek Academy in his previous life.

It was not because he felt Shrek Academy did not deserve him. Rather, in his eyes, he and the people of Shrek Academy followed different paths and had no common ground at all.

Forget Luo Ye—even Zhu Zhuqing felt that Shrek Academy had gone too far.

Ten Gold Soul Coins might be nothing to those born into great families, but for commoner Soul Masters, it was absolutely a huge sum.

Yet Shrek Academy was actually swallowing such a huge sum just like that?

The facts proved that Shrek Academy truly intended to keep the money.

Facing the father and son's demand for their money back, the admissions teacher said casually.

"Mu Bai, someone wants their registration fee back. Handle it."

Dai Mubai walked out from the side at those words. He looked extremely listless, with none of yesterday's arrogance remaining.

Of course, that listlessness was only relative. Facing the father and son demanding a refund, Dai Mubai did not waste any words. He directly activated his Soul Power and released three Soul Rings.

"Getting your registration fee back is simple. Beat me, and I'll refund it in full."

The father and son were furious but did not dare speak out. After hesitating for a moment, they gave up on demanding their money back, turned around, and left.

Their experience also served as a warning to those still waiting in line behind them. One student after another departed, and in the blink of an eye, only a dozen or so people remained.

Knowing full well how much of a scam Shrek Academy was, they did not want their ten Gold Soul Coin registration fees to vanish like buns thrown to a dog.

Once the crowd dispersed, Dai Mubai noticed Luo Ye and Zhu Zhuqing standing behind them.

The moment he discovered Luo Ye looking at him with a faint, knowing smile, Dai Mubai's face instantly turned pale. He subconsciously staggered several steps back, cold sweat appearing on his forehead.

"Mu Bai, what are you doing?"

The admissions teacher asked with a puzzled expression.

Dai Mubai's body trembled. He shook his head.

"N-Nothing."

The admissions teacher did not pay it much mind and continued interviewing the next student, leaving Dai Mubai standing where he was.

Yesterday, he had been struck by Luo Ye's Soul Impact. Even now, his head still felt muddled, and a constant buzzing filled his mind.

Luo Ye's three red hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings in particular had made Dai Mubai question his entire life.

After returning to Shrek Academy today, he had specifically asked Flender about them. Flender's answer was that if he was sick, he should go see a doctor.

A Soul Elder with three hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings? Even in a dream, he could not dream something that outrageous.

Dai Mubai did not say anything more about it. In truth, he had come to his senses as well. Luo Ye's three hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings had to be fake, and they were most likely related to one of his soul skills.

If he were given another chance, he definitely would not have performed so disgracefully.

Thinking this, Dai Mubai gave Luo Ye a deep look and resolved to get a proper look at this fellow's true strength later.
