Everyone Was Shocked-Were Those Soul Rings Even Real?

Ning Rongrong was genuinely shocked. The academy was already shabby enough, but it even charged students an application fee?

And wasn't this fee a little too expensive? This academy wasn't some famous advanced Soul Master Academy. It didn't seem to have any official rank, either.

Before coming here, she had specifically looked into it. She found it interesting and didn't want to stay in the sect all the time, so she had sneaked out.

"Who's running their mouth over there?!"

The white-haired old man could no longer stand listening. He directly summoned his Martial Soul, the Dragon Patterned Staff—a six-ring Soul Emperor!

With a tap of the old man's Dragon Patterned Staff against the ground, the pressure it released forced everyone present to unconsciously retreat several steps.

They had never expected this seemingly ordinary old man to be a Soul Emperor!

"I'll state the rules one more time. Those under twelve with Soul Power above Level Twenty are qualified to take the entrance examination. The application fee is ten Gold Soul Coins, nonrefundable! Don't think you can get lucky. Don't push your luck!"

The young man did not dare make another sound. They had not said the application fee was nonrefundable earlier.

Seeing that this teacher was not someone to provoke, the parent grabbed the young man's hand and prepared to leave. With his child's talent, what academy could they not attend?

It was just a pity about those ten Gold Soul Coins. They were only an ordinary family, after all.

"We said it. Were we wrong? This is the first time I've seen someone keep an application fee without refunding it. He hasn't even enrolled!"

Seeing that Li Yusong had heard their conversation, Ning Rongrong did not intend to hide in the back any longer and stepped forward directly.

Dai Mubai's eyes lit up when he saw Ning Rongrong, but he quickly noticed Xiao Tian and the others standing beside her. His smile immediately vanished. Could they be together?

However, remembering how humiliating yesterday had been, he did not plan to step forward and warn anyone. Xiao Tian could not possibly dare to confront Teacher Li Yusong head-on, could he?

That was a level 63 Soul Emperor!

Dai Mubai quietly shifted to the side, ready to watch the show, but then the old man spoke.

"Mu Bai! Throw these troublemakers out! Let them see the strength of Shrek Academy's students! We don't accept trash—we only accept monsters!"

A thousand alpacas trampled through Dai Mubai's heart. Teacher, I can't beat them!

Dai Mubai's expression instantly turned bitter.

Xiao Tian looked with interest at Dai Mubai beside the old man, his expression teasing.

Xiao Tian: What, yesterday's beating wasn't enough? Want another round?

Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, Tang San, and the others simply watched quietly as well.

(one by one)~~

Ning Rongrong, meanwhile, had no idea what was going on. Why did this guy look like that?

Dai Mubai considered it for one second. He could not throw away his life for the sake of face. Besides, if he got beaten later, he would lose his face anyway and take a beating for nothing. There was no need.

So he could only walk over to Li Yusong, lean close, and quietly give him a brief account of what had happened yesterday.

This made Li Yusong glance at Xiao Tian in surprise. He had not expected this kid, at such a young age, to be this capable—to the point that even the dean had needed to step in and mediate.

After looking at Xiao Tian, his gaze landed on the middle-aged man beside him. That should be the theory Master, Yu Xiaogang—the Wisdom Horn the dean often mentioned.

Interesting~~

Just as Li Yusong was about to step forward and teach them a proper lesson—no, properly test their abilities—Flender suddenly emerged from the shadows.

"Wait!"

He felt that if he did not show himself now, things would definitely become impossible to settle later. If he lost these geniuses just like that, how was he supposed to... teach?

Besides, one of them was the Little Princess of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. If Li Yusong misjudged his strength and injured her, then...

"Dean, weren't you supposed to return tomorrow?"

Li Yusong asked in confusion.

Flender's mouth twitched. He pulled Li Yusong aside and muttered a few words in a low voice.

Li Yusong could only let the matter rest.

He took out ten Gold Soul Coins and tossed them to the young man from earlier.

"I'll say it again: anyone who doesn't meet the requirements, leave immediately!"

In an instant, the long line outside the academy gates was reduced to only a dozen or so people.

Flender stepped forward and said with a smile, "Xiao Tian, I'm sorry you had to see that. Our academy's admissions were not like this before. We always made the requirements clear in advance, but there are always some people who insist on trying their luck."

Xiao Tian nodded faintly. He did not intend to pursue this matter any further.

He was not some great philanthropist. If he encountered something and had the ability, he would help. As for what had happened before, that was beyond his control.

"Little Gang, come inside with me first. They should be able to go straight to the fourth test later. I'll take you in for some tea first."

Flender raised his brows at Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang naturally had no objections. With Tang San and the others' strength, passing an examination would be easy.

Still, he asked, "What is the fourth test?"

Flender glanced at Dai Mubai, who was pretending to be an ostrich nearby. "Last one stick of incense under Mu Bai's hands."

Dai Mubai:

Yu Xiaogang:

Alright, then there was absolutely nothing to worry about.

"Alright, then I'll go in with you first."

Yu Xiaogang glanced at Tang San and the others, then followed Flender inside. He wanted to first understand the academy's situation and future plans in detail.

Li Yusong withdrew his Martial Soul again, his face giving away no emotion.

"Who's first?"

Without saying much, Xiao Tian and the others did not want to make things overly troublesome. The three of them directly displayed their Martial Souls and Soul Rings.

"Xiao Tian, Martial Soul Sword Fifteen, Thirty-Eighth Level."

"Xiao Wu, Martial Soul Soft Bone Charm Rabbit, thirty-fourth level."

"Tang San, Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass, thirty-second level."

Li Yusong: ???

What?

What Soul Power Levels?

Li Yusong suddenly felt old. Had his ears become unable to hear clearly?

But when he saw the Soul Rings on the three of them, he immediately became certain.

But when he saw the three Thousand Year Soul Rings on Xiao Tian, his eyes widened. He could no longer remain composed and even rubbed his eyes. Were those Soul Rings even real?

"Brother? When did you reach Thirty-Eighth Level? Weren't you only thirty-sixth level yesterday?"

Xiao Wu's little mouth fell open, her face full of surprise. She looked adorable.

Xiao Tian had long prepared an excuse and said calmly, "Oh, my Sword Dao Realm improved a little more, so..."

Tang San: .

Tang San felt exhausted. Why could Xiao Tian raise his Soul Power Level like this, while Tang San could never catch up no matter how hard he tried?

Tang San did not doubt Xiao Tian's words. After all, this had happened before during the past six years. But he was already a Soul Elder, and Xiao Tian had suddenly risen another two levels. Wasn't that a little outrageous?

Zhu Zhuqing also looked confused. Thirty-Eighth Level?

She had already been shocked once yesterday by Xiao Tian's Soul Rings.

Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong directly hopped over to Xiao Tian's side. Her eyes sparkled with curiosity as she looked at him and said, "Hey, Xiao Tian, how did you do that? Even in my sect, I've never seen anyone as... unusual as you."

This was the first time Ning Rongrong had truly felt that there was always someone stronger, and a higher sky beyond the sky!
