Dai Mubai was stunned and hurriedly said, "Huh? Dean, are you really not accepting any of them? Tang Yu should be turned away, but the others can stay!"
Flender glanced at Dai Mubai.
Tang Yu, Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing were all rare talents. How could he possibly not want them?
Especially Tang Yu.
Backed by the Clear Sky Sect, he was also an unparalleled genius far superior to the others.
Flender had never seen a Soul Master with such powerful talent and strength. Even Qin Ming back then had been far inferior.
A genius like this would surely become an exceptionally powerful figure in the future with just a little training. How much prestige would that bring Flender and Shrek Academy?
Those words had only been meant to scare these geniuses. He had never said he would not accept them.
Flender coughed twice, ignored Dai Mubai, and continued, "However, seeing that all of you have decent talent, I can give you one chance."
"The five of you will remain at the academy for now. Once Tang San and Xiao Wu recover from their injuries, you will undergo the fourth assessment. As long as you pass it, you will become official students of Shrek Academy."
As Flender spoke, he waved over Oscar, who had been secretly watching the show from not far away. "Oscar! Take them to arrange their dormitories."
"Uh, hehe!" Oscar scratched his head and awkwardly walked out from the shadows.
"Then I'll take you to the dormitories."
Everyone eyed one another coldly as they followed Oscar toward the dormitory area.
Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu hated each other and were hostile toward one another. Naturally, Ning Rongrong did not get along with Tang San either.
Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Dai Mubai all regarded Tang Yu as an enemy.
Tang San and Xiao Wu were also displeased with Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai were practically estranged as well.
The waters of Shrek Academy had been thoroughly muddied. With only these few people, their relationships were already a complete mess.
Soon enough.
Oscar led everyone to the dormitory area.
Although there were many empty rooms, the conditions were terrible. They were all old wooden houses, with the only advantage being that each person could choose an entire house for themselves.
"Seriously, why are these dormitories so shabby? Can people even live here?" Ning Rongrong, who had been pampered since childhood, said with a face full of disgust.
Xiao Wu said unhappily, "If you don't want to live here, then leave!"
Ning Rongrong planted her hands on her hips furiously. "Hey! Why is everything always your business? Can you shut up, you dead rabbit?"
Their relationship grew even worse.
They started arguing again.
Tang Yu shook his head. He could not be bothered with this group and stepped forward first to choose a room.
Looking at Tang Yu's back view, the one who had ruthlessly stolen her first kiss, Zhu Zhuqing's heart was in turmoil. Her eyes were filled with resentment and grievance. She was clearly angry, yet she did not know why.
Her gaze and thoughts always found themselves irresistibly focusing on Tang Yu.
Zhu Zhuqing also started walking and chose a wooden house directly opposite Tang Yu's.
The others quickly chose their rooms as well.
Inside his room, Tang Yu simply tidied the bed and lay down to rest for a while.
Then he got up, preparing to release his External Soul Bone and take a look.
What kind of External Soul Bone will mine be? Tang Yu eagerly activated the mysterious power within his body.
A pair of dark blue wings grew from his back.
"These are... Dragon Wings?"
Next second!
The Dragon Wings instantly spread open.
They were not particularly huge after unfolding, with a span of around three meters.
Zzzzt~
Yet lightning flickered across them.
"An External Soul Bone of the wing type. Not bad! This means I now have the ability to fly." Tang Yu smiled. He was quite satisfied with this External Soul Bone.
Soon, he learned all the information about this External Soul Bone.
[External Soul Bone: Thunder Dragon Wings] [Age: 10,000 years] [Basic Effects: Flight ability; Spiritual Power, five senses, strength, speed, defense, and all attributes increased by 50%.] [Ability One: Can amplify the Lightning Attribute power of the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul and inflict a paralysis effect.] [Ability Two: Lightning Immunity. Immune to lightning attributes. Can absorb the lightning energy from an enemy's Lightning Attribute attacks to charge and store energy in the Thunder Dragon Wings, then release the absorbed, charged, and stored lightning energy to attack enemies. Can charge infinitely. If not released within a day, it will dissipate automatically.]
"Infinite charging!?"
"In other words, as long as my Thunder Dragon Wings absorb and store enough lightning energy, I could directly kill even a Title Douluo. This ability practically has no upper limit."
As Tang Yu thought this over, he gasped. "Hiss~! That's a little overpowered!"
"Unfortunately, if I do not release the absorbed lightning energy within a day, it will dissipate automatically. That means I can only absorb the energy from a single battle."
"However, if I know there will be a battle tomorrow, I can have other Lightning Attribute Soul Masters fully charge me in advance. Then I can directly blast enemies to death across ranks."
"If my level 94 father charges me up in advance, then..."
Tang Yu smiled, unable to suppress the corners of his mouth.
[Thunder Dragon Wings' Innate Skill: Thunder Flash, a pure speed-type movement skill that can unleash extremely fast speed and allow rapid movement with the force of lightning.]
That was all the information about the current 10,000-year Thunder Dragon Wings.
After reading it, Tang Yu nodded to himself. "As expected of an External Soul Bone rewarded by the system. It fits my abilities extremely well. With a pure speed-type movement skill like Thunder Flash, the chance of Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer being interrupted in actual combat will be greatly reduced."
"At the same time, speed is no longer such an obvious weakness of mine."
"Strength, speed, defense... I barely have any shortcomings now. If I go all out, my strength should be enough to crush a Soul King, right?"
Tang Yu smiled and withdrew the Thunder Dragon Wings.
His next target was Mission Two.
[Mission Two: Hammer Tang San again at the Soul Master Competition and win the championship.]
Tang Yu was now full of confidence about completing Mission Two. "Other than preventing Tang San from obtaining the Eight Spider Lances, I also need to break through level 40 as soon as possible."
"Once I entered the Soul Ancestor realm, I could more or less return to the Clear Sky Sect and challenge the top three among the younger generation. Then I could earn the Sect Master's and Elders' recognition and learn the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes."
"By then, with the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes at my disposal, winning the Soul Master Competition should not be difficult."
Tang Yu had already laid out a clear plan for the road ahead.
"Cultivate! Cultivate!"
He was not yet an official student of Shrek Academy, so he did not need to follow the academy's arrangements. Tang Yu planned to remain in his room meditating and cultivating until Tang San and Xiao Wu recovered from their injuries.
He sat cross-legged on the bed and began meditating.
He cultivated straight through until midnight. Feeling his Soul Power improve somewhat, Tang Yu smiled, got up, bathed, and went to sleep.
But elsewhere.
Zhu Zhuqing lay on her bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
"So annoying..."
Her mind was now filled with scenes of Tang Yu from earlier that day.
