The Dumbfounded Crowd

It wasn't just the registration teacher who was stunned; the new students queuing behind were also dumbfounded. Tang Ya and Bei Bei showed shock as well, but only Qian Renxue knew that Huo Yuhao's suffering had led to his current achievements.

"It looks like the academy is getting another little monster this year." The teacher in charge of registration shook his head with a smile.

"Registration fee is ten gold soul coins."

"I forgot to bring money when I went out, I only brought some gold. Can I exchange it?" Huo Yuhao took out a gold brick and placed it on the table.

The registration teacher's eye twitched wildly, but he still had a professional cut an equivalent amount of gold to serve as Huo Yuhao's registration fee.

The currency ten thousand years ago was completely different from today's currency. Qian Renxue had many gold soul coins on her, but strictly speaking, they were all antiques. Helpless, she had to melt some down.

"Next is the last item. Please present your letter of recommendation."

"Letter of recommendation?"

Now it was Huo Yuhao's turn to be stunned, and then it dawned on him. The original Huo Yuhao had entered the academy using the Tang Sect's exemption quota through Bei Bei, but now Huo Yuhao truly had nothing.

However, this didn't stump him. Huo Yuhao remembered that in the original text, there was someone named Mo Xuan whose super-large-scale auxiliary ability was extremely powerful, and he had been admitted exceptionally.

"The academy rules require a letter of recommendation to enroll..." The registration teacher's expression froze as he realized he couldn't move. Not only that, but Tang Ya, Bei Bei, and everyone within a hundred meters of this place were all immobilized.

Huo Yuhao slowly stood up. The appearance of one white, one purple, and one black soul ring at his feet made many people's jaws drop.

Huo Yuhao retracted his Time Eye martial soul, and only then could everyone move again. However, the way they looked at Huo Yuhao could only be described as monstrous.

Huo Yuhao said calmly, "I have a Body Origin Martial Soul, the eye, mainly with time and spirit dual attributes. I can control a time pause within a radius of two thousand meters for three seconds at most. If it's along a straight line, the range can reach three thousand three hundred meters. But if I do that, my soul power will be greatly depleted."

"Please wait a moment. I'll immediately report to the academy leadership." The registration teacher immediately got up and ran behind him.

A Body Origin Martial Soul, time and spirit dual attributes, eleven years old with level thirty-three soul power, and possessing a ten-thousand-year soul ring—such a student was impossible to find even with a lantern.

Qian Renxue looked at the retreating registration teacher, patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder, and smiled, "You've really made a big splash this time."

"There's no other way. I really did forget the letter of recommendation. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone through all this trouble." Huo Yuhao felt helpless.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao became the center of attention.

"Eleven years old, level thirty-three, and with a ten-thousand-year soul ring! If only he were part of the Tang Sect!" Tang Ya looked at Huo Yuhao with eyes practically pulling threads, drooling with desire.

"Alright, Xiao Ya, hurry up and report to the academy." Bei Bei said goodbye to Huo Yuhao and Qian Renxue, then pulled the reluctant Tang Ya into the academy.

In an office at the Outer Court of Shrek Academy.

Two old men were sitting on a sofa. Du Weilun held a list of this year's new students in his hand and sighed, "Truly worthy of being the White Tiger Duke's son. Not yet twelve years old and already at three rings. His achievements have far surpassed their ancestor, the leader of the Shrek Seven Devils."

"This one is a bit interesting. Wang Dong, martial soul Goddess of Light Butterfly... gender male?" Yan Shaozhe revealed a meaningful smile.

"Dean, this year's batch of students has far better aptitude than previous years. But are you sure about letting Zhou Yi teach New Student Class One? That's a bit..." Du Weilun hesitated.

Zhou Yi's temper was well-known throughout Shrek Academy. She had expelled no less than a hundred students, if not dozens. However, every student who successfully graduated from her class was outstanding without exception. It was a very strange phenomenon.

"No rain, no rainbow." Yan Shaozhe put down the student files in his hand and was about to leave when there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Du Weilun spoke.

"Dean, Director." The registration teacher closed the door behind him.

"Teacher Zheng Zhan, aren't you in charge of new student registration? What brings you here?" Du Weilun asked.

"Dean, Director, there is a very special student. I couldn't make the decision."

Following that, Zheng Zhan narrated Huo Yuhao's martial soul and soul ring configuration, as well as his terrifying time coverage range.

"What!" Du Weilun slammed the table and stood up, his eyes wide. "A Body Origin Martial Soul! Eleven years old, level thirty-three, and with a ten-thousand-year soul ring! Teacher Zheng, you're not messing with me and the Dean, are you!"

"I saw it with my own eyes. Once that kid named Huo Yuhao uses his soul skill, everyone on site can't move, and the range is extremely vast."

"Hmm..." Yan Shaozhe thought for a moment and stood up. "Let's go, Weilun. Let's go see this little fellow named Huo Yuhao. If this kid is really as Teacher Zheng says, then what does a letter of recommendation matter?"

With that, Yan Shaozhe grabbed Zheng Zhan and Du Weilun and leaped into the air. In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the academy gate.

"Huo Yuhao, please make way. Where is Huo Yuhao?"

At this moment, Huo Yuhao was sitting patiently under a large tree, while Qian Renxue was idly looking at the academy's construction and the soul tools used by passersby.

"Over here!" Huo Yuhao raised his hand and came to Teacher Zheng Zhan together with Qian Renxue.

At this moment, two more people were beside Zheng Zhan.

"My name is Zheng Zhan, a teacher at Shrek Academy. This is Dean Yan of our Shrek Academy, and this is the Outer Court Director."

Upon hearing that the Dean of Shrek Academy had personally come out, almost all the new students looked at Huo Yuhao with envy.

"Hello, Huo Yuhao. My name is Yan Shaozhe, Dean of Shrek Academy. I've heard about your situation from Teacher Zheng. Would you mind showing us your martial soul?" Yan Shaozhe said gently.

"Of course." Huo Yuhao nodded. Immediately, three soul rings lit up at his feet. When the first soul ring was white, Du Weilun was surprised, and Yan Shaozhe frowned slightly. But following that, the appearance of a thousand-year and a ten-thousand-year soul ring in succession stunned them all with such a peculiar soul ring configuration.

Huo Yuhao's eyes gradually turned gray. With him as the center, everyone on site was immobilized. A leaf falling from a treetop spun in midair, then froze in place.

Yan Shaozhe and Du Weilun's bodies stiffened slightly, then they regained freedom of movement.

Huo Yuhao began to exert himself. Soul power surged toward his eyes. At this moment, the range of the time pause grew larger and larger. Yan Shaozhe and Du Weilun rose into the air. With their visual acuity, they could see that Huo Yuhao's time pause range had already exceeded a thousand meters and was still expanding outward.

When everything settled, Huo Yuhao was breathing slightly heavily. Looking at Yan Shaozhe and Du Weilun, whose eyes were burning with interest, he asked, "Did I pass?"

Yan Shaozhe nodded with satisfaction. "Student Huo Yuhao, welcome to Shrek Academy."
