First Thousand-Year Soul Ring, Shocking Everyone!

"There are so many people. Good thing I came early, or I'd have been waiting in line for ages."

Outside Shrek Academy's gates, the crowd stretched as far as the eye could see.

Every one of them was a student who had come to join Shrek Academy.

None of them thought the others were any better than themselves.

After all, anyone who could come here was a genius, a prodigy, a monster.

They all had their own pride.

"Recommendation Letter."

At the Enrollment Office by the gates, an upperclassman spoke with a smile.

Huang Fei took out the Recommendation Letter Beibei had given him.

This was the most disgusting part.

Without a Recommendation Letter, one could not join Shrek Academy.

It was practically a class monopoly.

This made it even harder for commoner Soul Masters to rise.

Many factions, sects, and academies followed the same practice.

Without a Recommendation Letter, unless one's talent was truly exceptional, they would not even pass the Enrollment Office.

It's actually from Senior Beibei. Just who is this guy?

The upperclassman took the Recommendation Letter and opened it. When he saw that it was from Beibei, he froze for a moment before staring at Huang Fei in astonishment.

Huang Fei kept smiling at him.

As the saying went, clothes made the man, and saddles made the horse.

Huang Fei was no longer dressed in the simple clothes of a commoner.

Instead, he had used the money Beibei gave him to buy a set of noble attire.

Combined with those noble clothes, his tall frame, and his remarkably handsome, jade-like face, his bearing became even more outstanding.

At a glance, he clearly did not look like an ordinary person.

He was every bit the young nobleman.

"Age, name, Martial Soul, Soul Power."

The upperclassman snapped back to his senses and immediately spoke.

"Ten years old. Huang Fei. Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass. Peak Level 12 Soul Power."

Huang Fei answered calmly.

"What!?"

"Peak Level 12 Soul Power?"

"With such a trash Wasted Martial Soul and such low Soul Power, how did you dare come to Shrek Academy?"

"Hurry back home. Don't waste our time."

The moment those words were spoken, all sorts of mockery and ridicule rose from the crowd.

Even the people at the Enrollment Office looked suspiciously at the Recommendation Letter.

Could this be fake?

"What if it were like this?"

Huang Fei's lips curled upward. What he enjoyed most was ruthlessly slapping the faces of those who looked down on him.

The next moment, buzz!

A vigorous surge of Soul Power burst forth.

As purple light flashed—

A purple Soul Ring rose from beneath his feet.

"This is!?"

"A purple First Thousand-Year Soul Ring!?"

"Holy shit!"

Upon seeing the Soul Ring, the Enrollment Office staff shot to their feet in shock.

The geniuses who had just been mocking him also widened their eyes, dumbfounded.

"A Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul actually absorbed a First Thousand-Year Soul Ring. Who exactly is this guy?"

"He's a genuine monster."

"We've only absorbed hundred-year Soul Rings ourselves."

Within the crowd, two breathtakingly beautiful girls also stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

One was slender, elegant, and noble, like an upright stalk of Jade Bamboo or a swan.

She was Ning Tian, the Young Sect Master of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

The other was fit, powerful, and fiery, like a Female Leopard poised to strike.

She was Wu Feng, Ning Tian's guardian.

Only Tang Jia San Shao could write such a ridiculous plot in the entire webnovel scene.

"Interesting. Maybe he has something extraordinary about him."

"Could he be someone with Twin Martial Souls?"

With her hands on her hips, Wu Feng spoke curiously.

"Who knows? Since he got a Recommendation Letter and came here, he must have some real ability. I heard that Tang Ya at Shrek Academy also has Blue Silver Grass."

"Let's see how he performs after enrolling. If he does well, we might consider recruiting him into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect."

Ning Tian was immediately intrigued.

As the Young Sect Master of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, she viewed everything through the lens of profit.

What she liked most was investing in advance.

Money was the one thing they lacked least.

Ten thousand years ago, they had been the richest sect.

Ten thousand years later, they were still the richest sect.

To be clear, the sect mentioned here was not some other kind of faction.

Compared with Shrek Academy, it might not necessarily amount to much.

But in terms of foundation, it definitely would not be too far behind.

"Then let's wait and see."

Wu Feng was also quite curious.

"So, can I go in now?" Huang Fei asked.

"You can. You've passed the first stage, but there are more stages ahead."

"If you can't pass them, you'll still be eliminated. Go in first. Other upperclassmen will assess you later."

The upperclassman came back to his senses, quickly completed the registration, and spoke.

Huang Fei took the Token, withdrew his Soul Ring, and walked inside.

A Wasted Martial Soul, Blue Silver Grass, with a First Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

This news quickly spread throughout Shrek Academy.

After all, everyone here had forces backing them.

Many people coveted the secret of how he had absorbed a Soul Ring spanning so many years.

However, Huang Fei had already entered Shrek Academy, so there was no need to rush.

If they wanted to seize him, they would have to wait until Huang Fei left Shrek Academy.

For example, they could also pull a few strings within Shrek City.

Recruitment outside continued. Those who passed went in, while those who failed left.

"Hello, junior classmates. I'm Cheng Hai, your Fifth Grade senior. My Martial Soul is the Blue Gold Sea Crocodile, and I am a Level 39 Soul Elder. I'm also the examiner for Exam Hall Number One."

"As long as you can hold out under me for the time it takes an Incense Stick to burn, you'll pass smoothly and become official Freshmen of Shrek Academy."

"Alright, I'll give you the time it takes an Incense Stick to burn to get acquainted, discuss tactics, and familiarize yourselves with each other's Martial Souls. Once that time is up, the match will officially begin!"

At that moment, a young man walked over. He wore Dark Blue clothes and exuded a unique, noble aura.

The moment he finished speaking—

A powerful wave of Soul Power spread outward.

Three Soul Rings in the most standard configuration—yellow, yellow, purple—rose from beneath his feet.

The phantom of a massive blue-gold sea crocodile appeared behind him.

In an instant, the surrounding air became damp.

It was filled with the salty scent of seawater.

Having established his dominance, he withdrew his Martial Soul and aura, plopped down, and closed his eyes to wait.

The rest of the time was left to those below.

A great many people had been admitted.

There were also many exam halls.

A total of seven people had been assigned to Exam Hall Number One.

It happened to be the maximum team size for the Continent Elite Soul Master Competition.

Huang Fei was among them.

Ning Tian and Wu Feng were there with him as well.

Of the other four, there were both girls and boys.

Everyone was sizing one another up.

"Let's introduce ourselves and familiarize ourselves with each other's Martial Souls."

"My name is Ning Tian. My Martial Soul is the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Tower. I'm a Level 27 Auxiliary Type Soul Grandmaster."

"My name is Wu Feng. My Martial Soul is the Red Dragon. I'm a Level 27 Assault Type Soul Grandmaster."

"My name is Cui Yajie. My Martial Soul is the Nine-Tailed Fox. I'm a Level 21 Control Type Soul Grandmaster."

"My name is Zhou Sichen. My Martial Soul is the Thick Book. I'm a Level 22 Summoning Type Soul Grandmaster."

"My name is Long Xiangyue. My Martial Soul is the Lightning Falcon. I'm a Level 23 Agility Attack Type Soul Grandmaster."

"My name is Cao Jinxuan. My Martial Soul is the Fleeting Time Clock. I'm a Level 24 Control Type Soul Grandmaster."

After the first six finished introducing themselves—

They all turned their gazes toward Huang Fei.

Everyone knew that this guy's Martial Soul was Blue Silver Grass.

And that he had a First Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

With peak Level 12 Soul Power, he was clearly nothing but dead weight.

Still, they were curious what kind of Blue Silver Grass path he had chosen.
