Speaking of this, Dai Yu raised his head, his gaze burning as he looked at Director Du:
"Although my Soul Power is currently low, I possess the foundation of a top-tier Martial Soul.
As long as you give me time, I will be stronger than anyone else.
Director Du, do you think I am qualified to enter Class One now?"
Director Du hurriedly said:
"Of course you are qualified!"
"If you aren't qualified, then no one is!"
Dai Yu nodded slightly and pointed at the stunned Huo Yuhao, saying:
"Then Director Du, what about him..."
Director Du laughed heartily.
"This little brother is, of course, also qualified!"
"You shall both enter Class One together!"
Director Du paused, then couldn't help but ask:
"Student Dai Yu, your talent—not just in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, but even looking across the entire Douluo Continent and Sun Moon Continent—is absolutely elite.
I would like to ask, Student Dai Yu, what is your relationship with the current White Tiger Duke?"
In Director Du's view, for Dai Yu to have achieved a secondary awakening of his Martial Soul, transforming from a waste into a monster, his bloodline must certainly be exceptional. Perhaps it was related to the White Tiger Duke.
As the Director of the Outer Court at Shrek Academy, Director Du was well-versed in all the major powers on the continent. The inherited Martial Soul of the White Tiger Duke's lineage was the Evil Eye White Tiger; while mutations did occur, they mostly trended toward the negative. A mutated White Tiger with a Light Attribute that also possessed such rapid cultivation speed was truly rare.
Coupled with that sensitive surname and place of origin... it inevitably made him think of some noble family grievances.
Facing Director Du's scrutinizing gaze, Dai Yu's expression remained calm. He smiled faintly:
"Director Du, does Shrek Academy's enrollment process require a background check? I am merely a commoner from the Duke's Mansion's territory. As for my relationship with the Duke's Mansion... you can consider it non-existent, or even—as irreconcilable as fire and water."
Dai Yu spoke the last four words softly, but the chill in his tone made even Director Du feel a trace of surprise.
Irreconcilable as fire and water?
Interesting. It seems this is another little fellow with a story.
Director Du took a deep look at Dai Yu and did not continue to press the matter. The reason Shrek Academy had stood for ten thousand years was its principle of "only accepting monsters, never asking about origins." Whether you were royalty, a commoner, or an avenger carrying a blood feud, once you entered Shrek, you were a Shrek student.
Not to mention, Dai Yu's talent was so heaven-defying that he was practically a shoo-in for a Level 99 Limit Douluo! Perhaps he would even be noticed by Mu En and taken as a disciple! The future of Shrek Academy was looking bright! Zhang Lexuan had truly given him a surprise!
"Fine, I won't ask."
Director Du picked up his seal and stamped it heavily onto both of their forms. He then took two badges and two keys from his drawer and pushed them toward the two.
"These are your school badges and dormitory keys. Since you are special admissions, your tuition is waived."
The dormitory building is behind the teaching block; the white one is it.
"Dai Yu, you are in Dorm 108.
Huo Yuhao, you are in Dorm 109."
Speaking to this point, Du Weilun seemed to recall something, adding with a faint, enigmatic smile:
"Right, the freshman dorms are double rooms.
I hope you can get along well with your future roommates.
After all, at Shrek Academy, your roommate is often your most reliable comrade-in-arms... though, of course, they could also be your most headache-inducing trouble."
"Many thanks, Director Du."
Dai Yu took the keys and glanced at the numbers engraved on them.
108.
Living in the same room as Wang Dong?
Very good.
Staying with Wang Dong.
He would always find an opportunity to have the Background Suppression System bind to her.
And reap the benefits for himself.
Dai Yu handed the key belonging to Huo Yuhao over to him, then turned and walked toward the door.
"Yuhao, let's go."
"Ah?
Oh!
Thank you, Director Du!"
Huo Yuhao hurriedly bowed to Du Weilun, grabbed his key and school badge, and trotted to keep up with Dai Yu's pace.
Watching the two figures depart, Du Weilun took off his glasses, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and a playful arc tugged at the corners of his mouth.
"One Body Martial Soul with a spiritual attribute; though his Soul Power is meager, his Soul Skill is unique.
One with a Dual Extreme Attributes Martial Soul; his talent is peerless, yet he is full of hostility toward his family.
Plus, Lexuan's recommendation...
This year's Freshman Class One is going to be lively, I fear."
"I must go find Mu En and explain the situation."
"If Mu En can take this Dai Yu as his disciple, perhaps Dai Yu could become a pillar of Shrek Academy within Mu En's lifetime.
And furthermore, become a future Sea God Pavilion Master!"
Stepping out of the Academic Affairs Office building.
Huo Yuhao was full of excitement:
"Yu Ge, we really got in!
And we were even exempt from the exam!
That Director Du looked so stern; he scared me to death just now."
"That scared you?"
Dai Yu chuckled softly.
"The scarier parts are still to come.
Yuhao, remember what I told you before.
At Shrek Academy, strength is everything.
Later, when we get to the dorms, no matter who you meet or what happens, don't be a coward.
Whoever dares to provoke you, use your Spiritual Detection combined with the combat techniques I taught you, and hit them back hard!"
"Ah?
Fi, fighting?"
Huo Yuhao froze for a moment, stammering:
"But... doesn't the school code forbid private duels?"
"That is a rule set for the weak."
Dai Yu strode forward, heading toward the dormitory building, his voice drifting into Huo Yuhao's ears on the breeze:
"For the strong, rules are meant to be trampled underfoot."
The two passed through the tree-lined path and soon arrived at the freshman dormitory building.
At the entrance of the dormitory building sat an old man, frail and nearing the end of his days.
He wore a simple grey cloth robe, his face etched with deep wrinkles, his eyelids drooping as if he had already fallen into a slumber.
The afterglow of the setting sun spilled over him, making him appear like a statue on the verge of weathering away, devoid of any vitality.
Most of the students passing by turned a blind eye to him; some even wore expressions of disdain, quickening their pace as they hurried past.
However, the moment Dai Yu caught sight of this old man, his footsteps came to an abrupt halt.
His previously nonchalant gaze turned incomparably solemn in an instant.
Dragon God Douluo, Mu En!
The Sea God Pavilion Master!
One of the strongest individuals on the current Douluo Continent, a rank 99 Limit Douluo!
This was the true pillar of Shrek Academy!
And the biggest boss his Background Suppression System could currently come into contact with!
If he could make an impression in front of this old man, or cause him to feel some degree of "shock," then the rewards...
They would be absolutely unimaginably generous!
"Yu Ge, what's wrong?"
Seeing Dai Yu suddenly stop, Huo Yuhao asked in confusion, following Dai Yu's gaze toward the old man:
"That old grandfather... he looks so pitiful, should we..."
"Shh."
Dai Yu raised a finger, making a gesture for silence.
Then, under Huo Yuhao's surprised gaze, Dai Yu strode up to the old man, not rushing directly into the dormitory building like the other students.
"Greetings, elder.
We are new students who have just enrolled; may I ask, is the new student registration held here?"
