Shrek Academy of Legend

The next day.

Xiao Ze met up with Tang San and Xiao Wu, and they arrived at a small village.

"Child, the person beside you carries the aura of Divine Power. Be careful—he is dangerous." The God of Agriculture's voice made Xiao Ze wary.

Sure enough, Tang San possessed Divine Power. If nothing unexpected happened, it was the Asura God's Divine Power.

Xiao Ze remained silent and followed the two of them to the village entrance.

Quite a few teenagers were gathered there. A table stood at the entrance, with an old man seated behind it.

Beside him was a sign bearing the words Shrek Academy.

There was also a monster-like slime emblem on it.

"No way, Third Brother. This place is even smaller than Nuoding Academy." Xiao Wu froze.

"You weren't tricked by Yu Xiaogang, were you?"

"Teacher wouldn't lie to us." Tang San did not sound very confident when he said that.

After all, this rundown state of affairs could not be faked.

"The registration fee is ten Gold Soul Coins."

"Hold out your hand."

"Your age does not meet the requirements. You may leave."

What followed was the blunt, forceful process of scamming people out of their money.

Xiao Ze was speechless. Were they really robbing people this openly now?

Sometimes, he even suspected that Tang San was not the Child of Luck—Shrek Academy was.

Otherwise, how could the students it recruited all at once be so formidable?

"This academy... well... certainly has character. Are you really going in?" Even the God of Agriculture was speechless.

They would not even refund the registration fee. What kind of shitty academy was this?

"Let's take a look first. If it doesn't work out, we'll run."

"That works too. Although they are stronger than you, with me here, you can use the Fertility Hoe's power for a short time. Killing them would be no trouble."

Xiao Ze looked at the God of Agriculture in his mind, rolling up his sleeves.

He felt somewhat dazed.

Was this really the God of Agriculture who had once been full of compassion?

Why did he seem more like a God of Agriculture who would plant people in the ground if they stopped him from farming?

Still... Xiao Ze liked that.

"Why?!"

"Our Shrek Academy is Monster Academy. As the name suggests, we only accept monsters. Anyone over thirteen years old whose Soul Power has not reached Level 21 may go home."

Xiao Ze curled his lip. Shrek Academy relied on those words to scam people out of money.

With talent like that, what academy would not nurture them as key students?

Yet they still had to come here. It was absurd.

Tang San and Xiao Wu, however, became interested.

When they saw Li Yusong's Soul Emperor strength, everyone was shocked.

Dai Mubai also spotted Tang San and nodded at him.

At that moment, Xiao Ze saw a beautiful young woman.

Her white dress was utterly immaculate. Her short, ear-length hair neatly outlined her delicate face. Her moist cheeks, luminous fair skin, and cherry-pink lips made her look bright and lovely.

She stood about one meter sixty-five tall, with excellent proportions.

Her waist was slender, while her long, evenly shaped legs appeared and disappeared beneath her skirt.

Most importantly, she carried herself with noble elegance, standing in stark contrast to everyone else.

Xiao Ze easily recognized her identity: Ning Rongrong, the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Did I pass?" Ning Rongrong's voice was sweet and soft.

"Do your family know you are here?"

"I meet the academy's requirements. You're not going to refuse me, are you?"

Not far away, Zhu Zhuqing saw the fierce, lecherous look in Dai Mubai's eyes as he stared at Ning Rongrong, and bitterness appeared on her face.

Xiao Ze shook his head at the sight. He had no idea why Zhu Zhuqing still held any fantasies about Dai Mubai.

A man who ran from his responsibilities like that should be abandoned as early as possible.

"Blue Silver Grass can cultivate too."

"A monster, then."

Li Yusong chuckled. "How interesting. Go on in."

Soon, it was Xiao Ze's turn.

"Huh... Your body is very strong, even stronger than that little fellow just now."

"Maybe it's because I usually eat a lot."

Li Yusong rolled his eyes at him. "If you don't want to say it, then don't. If eating more could make you stronger, wouldn't that be ridiculous?"

Xiao Ze was helpless. No one believed him even when he told the truth.

"Release your Martial Soul."

A patch of Black Earth appeared above Xiao Ze's right hand.

"What Martial Soul is that?"

"Black Earth. It's black-colored soil."

"An Earth Spirit? There's even a Martial Soul like that?" Li Yusong was dumbfounded. It was the first time he had seen such a Martial Soul.

Zhu Zhuqing also looked at Xiao Ze in surprise. It was the man from yesterday.

Before long, Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Ze entered the small village as well.

There, they saw a man with a full beard.

It was none other than Oscar.

Tang San and the others wore strange expressions, clearly disgusted.

Xiao Ze, however, was rather interested in the sausage.

Food System Soul Masters were rare.

"Give me one."

Oscar immediately became interested, but when he saw Dai Mubai and the others, his spirits sank again.

"Not selling."

"Brother, you heard that just now too. You can still eat it after hearing that?" Dai Mubai was stunned.

"I'll give it a try. It was made by a Soul Master, after all. It's much cleaner than food made by ordinary people."

Upon hearing that, Oscar immediately made a sausage.

He handed it to Xiao Ze, his face full of anticipation.

Xiao Ze took a bite. Grease burst in his mouth, and it was incredibly fragrant.

"Mm... it tastes great. It just needs chili sauce."

"Brother!! From now on, you're my real brother!!" Oscar was practically in tears.

"You're the first person who bought my sausage, ate it, and said it was delicious."

Xiao Ze felt a little awkward. Was this guy getting a bit too emotional?

Dai Mubai gave Xiao Ze a thumbs-up. "Brother, you're ruthless."

Ning Rongrong looked somewhat disgusted. "You don't mind?"

"Little beauty, what a Food System Soul Master creates is much better than the food you usually eat."

"Besides, if you get hurt, this sausage can heal your injuries. Would you eat it or not?"

Everyone felt that made sense.

But just because it made sense did not mean they wanted to do it.

"Come on. I'll take you straight to the later assessment."

"Why can they go straight through?"

Someone questioned him.

"Because they are above Level 25."

"How is that possible?!" None of them believed it.

"Test them."

The testing teacher brought over a Crystal Ball.

They tested them one after another, and the brilliant light shone into their faces.

"Five monsters. Wonderful, my salary is going up."

Hearing that, Xiao Ze looked at the testing teacher with pity.

Getting money from Flender was no easier than robbing Bibi Dong in Spirit Hall.

It was a slight exaggeration, but Flender really was that kind of person.

Afterward, Dai Mubai led everyone to a small open area.

There was only one middle-aged man there, dozing in a chair.

"Xiao Ze, I think you came to the wrong academy. The teachers here seem to be high-level, but they're incredibly unreliable."

"God of Agriculture, I know. But since we're already here, let's take a look. It won't waste my cultivation time anyway."

"Fine."

"Teacher Zhao, I've brought the candidates for the fourth assessment."

"Oh? Not bad."

"They all skipped the second and third assessments."

"So they're all little monsters. Not bad." Zhao Wuji became interested and slowly rose to his feet.

"In that case, I'll personally play with you for a while."
