"Sure, no problem."

Faced with the old man's request, Li Changsheng barely gave it any thought before nodding in agreement.

It couldn't be helped. The other party was Shrek Academy's strongest expert, the Dragon God Douluo with Soul Power at level ninety-nine. So even if he did not do this, it would not really matter. After all, he could not possibly refrain from releasing his martial soul for the rest of his life.

Under Mu En's gaze, a small golden pagoda appeared out of thin air in Li Changsheng's hand.

Mysterious Yellow Merit Qi flowed from the tip of the Exquisite Pagoda, making it appear sacred and radiant.

Mu En's own martial soul was primarily aligned with light, which was why he was so shocked upon seeing Li Changsheng's martial soul. From the very beginning, he had never imagined that, other than the Six-winged Angel from ten thousand years ago, there could be another martial soul in this world capable of overpowering his own despite sharing the same attribute.

After all, ten thousand years ago, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul had already been the number one beast martial soul on the Douluo Continent.

"Very good. This old man thinks highly of you!"

After a brief moment of stunned surprise, Mu En came back to his senses and said with a smile, "With your strength and talent, passing the freshman assessment will be nothing. Even entering the inner court would be easy."

"That may be true, but what if someone targets me?" Li Changsheng asked.

"Targets you? Are you afraid of being targeted?"

Mu En chuckled and reminded him, "Although the threshold for entering Shrek Academy is not particularly high, if you truly want Shrek's cultivation, you must show them what you are really capable of. That is why, from Shrek's founding until now, the academy has never stopped students from fighting each other. Of course, the premise is that no lives may be endangered."

The match just now had made it clear that this kid was definitely not the sort to suffer losses quietly.

"Hehe, I understand. But old man, it's the middle of the night, and you're still so energetic instead of sleeping. It's hard not to suspect that you're one of Shrek Academy's higher-ups, lying here and enjoying life because you have nothing to do all day," Li Changsheng said with a smile.

"Oh? You think I'm a higher-up just because of that?"

Mu En froze for a moment before immediately recovering, his expression calm as he asked in return.

He had been here for quite some time. During that period, he had seen countless geniuses praised by the outside world, yet not only did none of them possess such discernment, there were hardly even any who dared to speak with him.

"Sometimes, you don't need anything so complicated to determine someone's status."

Li Changsheng shook his head and replied with a smile, "Things like one's bearing, aura, and conduct are enough. If it were someone else, do you think they would have so much free time to lie beneath a tree and pass the time like you?"

"Child, you have sharp eyes. You are the best I have seen in all these years."

At this point, Mu En no longer denied it and spoke with a smile.

"Of course. Are they even worthy of being compared to me? Well then, old man, I'll be heading back. You should rest early too."

Li Changsheng raised his chin and spoke with great pride before turning around and leaving under Mu En's watchful gaze.

"This child may enter the Sea God Pavilion in the future!"

Watching Li Changsheng's departing back, Mu En narrowed his eyes. After observing him for a moment, his figure slowly vanished from the spot.

On the morning of the third day, Li Changsheng opened his eyes and turned to look at the young man nearby. Seeing that the other was lying with his back to him, he said with a smile, "My dear son, time to go!"

"What did you say!"

Wang Dong was fine when Li Changsheng kept quiet, but the instant he opened his mouth, Wang Dong exploded. He swiftly turned around and said with a face full of anger.

"Look at the time. Don't forget who our homeroom teacher is, or what nickname she has," Li Changsheng reminded him.

"Don't bring this up again!"

Wang Dong fell silent. After thinking it over and realizing that Zhou Yi's reputation was indeed terrible, he put on his shoes and headed toward the classroom first.

Li Changsheng quickly followed behind him.

Shrek Academy covered a vast area. As they walked along the road, they could see many people their age.

If he had guessed correctly, they were heading to class just like he and Wang Dong were.

After entering the classroom, Li Changsheng briefly swept his gaze around. After observing for a moment, he casually found an inconspicuous spot and sat down.

Although Zhou Yi was quite pretty, she insisted on disguising herself as an old woman. There was really no one else like her.

Most women tried to make themselves look younger, but she just had to do the opposite.

Still, the effect was quite good. After all, she had expelled and offended so many people. If she did not hide her true identity and appearance, who knew whether one day someone might throw a sack over her head while she was walking down the street and beat her senseless—or do something even more unspeakable.

Before long, an old woman appeared in everyone's sight.

Walking up to the podium, Zhou Yi did not hold back at all and directly declared that her class had no need for trash or idiots.

But everyone who could enter Shrek Academy was considered a genius by others outside.

Moreover, they were only twelve or thirteen years old, so naturally they were extremely dissatisfied with Zhou Yi.

At the very least, they absolutely did not accept that they were the sort of people who could be called trash or garbage.

"Those who fought during the past three days, stand up!"

Zhou Yi paid no attention to the students' emotions and spoke again.

Hearing this, Wang Dong, seated in the front row, instinctively turned to glance at Li Changsheng some distance away, as if asking whether they should admit it.

Although the result had been rather awkward, they really had fought.

What the hell are you afraid of?

After giving Wang Dong a look, Li Changsheng was the first to rise from his seat. "I fought."

"Holy shit, what a warrior!"

"Damn, someone actually dared to admit they fought!"

The entire classroom erupted. Under normal circumstances, no one would start a fight right after school began.

Even if they really had fought, they would pretend they had not in order to leave a good impression on the teacher. In their understanding, teachers liked obedient students.

"I can't let him look down on me!"

Wang Dong clenched his fists, let out a breath, and rose from his seat as well. "I fought too!"

It was just a fight. He refused to believe the academy would expel him over something like this.

After all, he was from the Clear Sky Sect. Surely they would give him at least that much face.
