Entering School

Bei Bei asked, "Little Brother Yuheng, were you born into a Soul Tool family?"

Jiang Yuheng shook his head. "No. I simply found a highly respected teacher to teach me the specialized knowledge involved in Soul Tools, and then things just turned out this way."

Listening to Jiang Yuheng, Bei Bei and Tang Ya were instantly confused. What did he mean, "things just turned out this way"? Couldn't he just explain it clearly?!

Of course, since he clearly didn't want to talk about it, they couldn't continue pressing him.

Tang Ya said, "Bei Bei, I'm going to the Star Luo Empire. Take them to Shrek Academy to register."

Bei Bei nodded. "All right. Be careful on the way."

The four said goodbye at a crossroads in the Star Dou Great Forest. Tang Ya headed toward the border of the Star Luo Empire, while Jiang Yuheng and Huo Yuhao, led by Bei Bei, took the road straight ahead toward Shrek Academy.

As the three hurried along, Bei Bei took advantage of the opportunity to introduce them to Shrek Academy.

Shrek Academy was founded ten thousand years ago. Its motto was the same as its name: it was an academy that cultivated monsters. By monsters, it meant geniuses.

Even the First Generation Sect Master, who had founded the Tang Sect back then, had graduated from Shrek Academy. It was precisely that generation of students who created Shrek Academy's first glory.

The Shrek Seven Devils were named in memory of those seven students who had created that glory.

Later, although the Tang Sect declined, Shrek Academy remained standing. With the development of the times, it gradually became the Continent's Number One Academy.

What had established Shrek's current position was the war that broke out four thousand years ago after the collision between the Sun Moon Continent and the Star Luo Continent.

At the beginning, the three empires on Douluo Continent had repeatedly fallen behind in the war because they were suspicious of one another. They had even allowed the Sun Moon Continent's army to invade Douluo Continent.

At the critical moment, the Dean of Shrek Academy at the time issued a rallying cry and gathered nearly sixty super-powerhouses of Titled Douluo rank from across the continent. They temporarily became the commander of the three armies, and only then did they lead the army to crush the Sun Moon Empire's forces and win the final victory.

From then on, Shrek Academy no longer belonged to any country. It existed independently.

After that, Shrek Academy produced several exceptionally wise Deans in succession, raising the academy's strength to another peak. Although its status was honored, it never took credit for its achievements. It treated every country exactly the same and guaranteed that it would never possess a private army. Even the number of teachers was maintained within certain limits.

Therefore, Shrek Academy remained an academy. It would not give any country a sense of crisis. Not only did it survive, but its revered position on the continent was something no country could shake.

Shrek Academy was located in the southeastern part of the Heaven Dou Empire. The Star Dou Great Forest lay to its southeast, the Dou Ling Empire to its east, and the Star Luo Empire to its south. It was no exaggeration to say that it stood at the central junction of the three great empires.

Listening to Bei Bei describe Shrek Academy's history of development, Huo Yuhao's eyes were filled with excitement. To him, entering the Continent's Number One Academy was not only an honor, but also the important beginning of seeking justice for his Mother!

Jiang Yuheng had no interest in it. As a transmigrator, he had long since memorized all of Shrek Academy's nonsense by heart.

Rather than waste his thoughts on this, he might as well consider how to arrange a chance encounter with Dong'er after entering the academy and how to conceal himself as much as possible.

Several hours later, they finally saw where Shrek Academy was located. It was no different from its description in the original story: a prosperous commercial city with roads extending in every direction, an enormous area, and excellent public security. For that reason, merchants from the three great empires chose to conduct their cross-border trade in Shrek City.

With Bei Bei there, the three of them soon entered through Shrek City's eastern gate.

"Little Brother Yuheng, Shrek is recruiting new students this time. From what I can tell, your Soul Power Level should be sufficient, but without a recommendation letter from one of the three great empires, I'm worried..."

Jiang Yuheng smiled. "Brother Bei, there's no need to worry. Have you forgotten? I'm a Level 4 Soul Engineer, and this is the best recommendation letter there is."

Bei Bei said apologetically, "I'm really sorry. We've been chatting the whole way, and I nearly forgot. In that case, you and Yuhao should be able to join Shrek smoothly!"

After years of Jiang Yuheng's devilish training, Huo Yuhao's physical constitution was already incomparable to that of the original story. Enduring thirty to forty percent of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's energy was no problem at all, and his Soul Power naturally reached Level 15, just enough to pass Shrek Academy's admission threshold.

Several young men and women were waiting outside the academy. Each wore a yellow uniform with a green emblem on the chest. These were the uniforms of Shrek Academy's outer-court second- and third-year students.

Well... to be honest, they're not as good as the green ones. Jiang Yuheng silently complained.

When they saw Bei Bei, the young students standing at the entrance of Shrek Academy immediately became solemn and respectful. "Senior Brother Bei, you're back."

Bei Bei smiled and greeted each of his junior brothers and sisters. Then he said something to the student leading them. When he turned around again, that student's expression had already been replaced by astonishment.

"Senior Brother Bei, really? He looks only twelve years old, yet he's already..."

"I've seen his Soul Engineer Badge. There's no mistake. Please ask Elder Zhao to come over."

The student nodded gravely. As he turned to find the admissions teacher, he gestured for Bei Bei to go inside first.

"Little Brother Yuheng, I've taken care of things for you here. An admissions teacher will be coming soon. I'll take Yuhao inside first."

Bei Bei patted him on the shoulder and quietly told him not to be nervous. A genius as outstanding as him didn't need to undergo an assessment.

Huo Yuhao said, "Brother Yuheng, good luck! We'll meet in the New Student Dormitory later!"

Jiang Yuheng smiled and made an OK gesture to the two of them.

While waiting, Jiang Yuheng felt that since he had nothing else to do, he might as well make a defensive Soul Tool for fun. It would be perfect for giving the teachers of Shrek's Soul Engineering Department a great shock.

Once he decided to do it, Jiang Yuheng found that the one thing his Spatial Ring had in abundance was Rare Metal. As for the Engraving Knife used to carve the formation core, he naturally had to use the most ordinary kind. Otherwise, how could he show how different he was?

Fifteen minutes later, a Level 2 Mobile Defense Soul Tool was effortlessly produced by Jiang Yuheng under everyone's astonished gazes.

Even more astonishing was that during the entire process, he never stopped or hesitated at all. He had completed it as naturally as if he were drinking water?!

Yet Jiang Yuheng's expression seemed somewhat dissatisfied, because according to his expectations, ten minutes would have been more than enough for him to make a Level 2 defensive Soul Tool.

The reason his speed had slowed was that ordinary Engraving Knives differed far too greatly from Ranked Engraving Knives in terms of their properties. To ensure precision and accuracy, he had no choice but to slow down so he wouldn't waste this piece of Rare Metal.

"Not bad. Your method of making Soul Tools is worthy of being called genius."
