You'd Think You Were One of the Western Two Saints

Although writing stories, once-a-week rewards were the best.

But it was not impossible to do it multiple times a week; the rewards would just be a little worse.

Xu Fan planned to see just how much worse the rewards were. If they were still decent, he could make the most of it.

But after all, his writing required inspiration, so it was impossible for him to write every day.

Anything he could write was better than nothing.

[Shrek Academy has begun recruiting students. I saw Dai Mubai.]

[Dai Mubai is the Third Prince of the Star Luo Empire, and everyone on the continent knows about the Star Luo Empire's succession system. This guy was a coward, so he abandoned Zhuqing and fled the Star Luo Empire. He spent his days drinking and making merry outside, with absolutely no ambition.]

[Even if someone like that became the Star Luo Emperor, he would be no good. He might become even worse.]

[His talent is clearly decent, yet at his age, his Soul Power is only at the Soul Elder level.]

[No wonder he joined Shrek Academy. That useless academy with nothing relies on the title of monster academy to attract people.

They claim they only accept monsters, not ordinary people. They reject anyone over thirteen, or anyone whose Soul Power has not reached level twenty-one.

What a joke. If you had that kind of talent, why would you come to your trash academy?

With that kind of talent, couldn't you attend any academy qualified to participate in the Soul Master Competition?]

[The only decent thing about this academy is its teachers. At least they are all Soul Emperors or above, though their talent is somewhat trash.]

[That Soul Emperor at the entrance has one white, one yellow, three purple, and one black Soul Ring. He is the worst Soul Emperor I have ever seen. A Soul Emperor like that probably could not even defeat a Soul King.

If it were me, I could crush him while I was still a Soul Elder.]

[I remember that Shrek Academy's Vice Dean is Zhao Wuji, who is also wanted by Spirit Hall. This academy has nothing, and Yu Xiaogang will even come here to teach in the future. It really is an academy with all five poisons gathered in one place.]

[This academy cannot cultivate any true geniuses. Even Qin Ming, their strongest, does not have the best Soul Ring Configuration. It is clear that Shrek Academy ruined him. If Spirit Hall had trained him, he would at least become a pillar of Spirit Hall in the future.]

[Trash academies only deserve trash students.]

The women could tell from Xu Fan's words that he deeply disliked Shrek Academy.

He even loathed it.

"Teacher, should we go take a look at Shrek? Zhao Wuji happens to be there. We can capture him directly." Hu Liena's eyes gleamed.

Bibi Dong glanced at her. "I think you just want to go find Xu Fan, don't you?"

Hu Liena chuckled.

Bibi Dong shook her head. "Now is not the time. According to Xu Fan, Tang San will be his greatest opponent in the future, so Shrek Academy is probably rather important as well.

Besides, Shrek Academy is not going anywhere. It will stay right there. We can deal with it whenever we want."

"Teacher is right."

Heaven Dou City.

Ning Rongrong wore a look of disgust.

"Is there something wrong with my brain? Why would I go to an academy like that?!"

"Damn it, I, Ning Rongrong, will never go to Shrek Academy."

Zhu Zhuqing and Xu Fan stood a hundred meters away, watching Li Yusong threaten the parents of those students.

Zhu Zhuqing was disgusted by the academy, but she said nothing. This was someone else's territory, and saying too much would be dangerous for them.

Xu Fan swept his gaze around but did not find Ning Rongrong.

It seemed Ning Rongrong had wisely chosen not to come after reading the story he had fabricated. He just did not know where she was now.

[Eh... Rongrong is not here. It seems my appearance really has caused some changes. In the future, Shrek Academy will not even be able to gather seven people. With an academy like this, they still want to participate in the Soul Master Competition?]

[So they only managed to participate after joining another academy. At first, they wanted to join Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but after beating up Xue Beng, they were driven out.]

[Later, they wanted to join Blue Tyrant Academy. But Erlong and I had a very good relationship at the time, so naturally she did not want to get involved with Flender and the others again, especially since Yu Xiaogang was there. She drove them out as well.]

[What a series of twists and turns.]

[Forget it. This academy is boring. I should head to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes sooner. That way, I can become a Soul Elder faster. I was only a Soul Grandmaster a few days ago.]

Ning Rongrong's lips curled upward. "I, Ning Rongrong, am not an idiot. An academy like that is not worth attending."

Zhu Zhuqing was somewhat shocked when she saw this.

Had Xu Fan gone to obtain a Soul Ring?

She did not understand, but she did not ask. His very existence was already an enormous secret.

Seeing that there was nothing interesting to watch, Xu Fan and Zhu Zhuqing planned to quietly leave this troublesome place.

Just as the two turned around, someone's gaze fell upon them. Zhu Zhuqing's temperament and fiery figure in particular were unforgettable at a glance.

"Hey, wait!" Dai Mubai called out. He strode over in a few steps, his evil eyes lingering on Zhu Zhuqing for an extra moment. His eyebrows furrowed slightly. He felt that the girl in black was somehow familiar, yet he could not recall where he had seen her.

He turned his gaze to Xu Fan and asked directly, "Are you two here to enroll in Shrek Academy as well?"

Xu Fan stopped and turned around. With a polite smile, he shook his head. "No, we were merely passing by and stopped to take a look. We do not intend to join."

Li Yusong, seated behind a table nearby, noticed them as well.

With the perception of a Soul Emperor, he easily sensed that although the young man and woman before him were young, neither had weak Soul Power fluctuations. The girl in black in particular possessed quite remarkable Soul Power, fully meeting and even exceeding their standards.

He could not let such promising talents who happened to pass by slip away so easily.

Li Yusong stood and walked over with a smile on his face. "Little brother, since you happened to pass by this place, it must be fate. Although Shrek Academy may appear simple, we only accept true monsters, and our teaching staff is far from ordinary. Our Dean is a Soul Saint-level powerhouse. If you receive his personal guidance, your future will be limitless."

Xu Fan's mouth twitched as he listened.

Fate?

Is it such a big deal that your Dean is a Soul Saint?

Listening to you, anyone would think you were one of the Western Two Saints.

He mocked inwardly, but maintained a proper expression.

He gently wrapped an arm around Zhu Zhuqing's shoulders.

Zhu Zhuqing's body stiffened slightly, but she did not pull away. A faint blush appeared on her cold pretty face.

Not far away, Dai Mubai felt envious.

He had never had a top-tier beauty like that.

Xu Fan spoke gently. "Senior Soul Emperor, I am truly sorry. The two of us are already students of Heaven Dou Royal Academy. This is my girlfriend. This time, she is merely accompanying me to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain my Second Soul Ring. We passed by your academy and were simply curious enough to take a look."

"Heaven Dou Royal Academy?!"

The smile on Li Yusong's face instantly froze, and his pupils contracted sharply.

As a seasoned veteran of the Soul Master World, he knew all too well what that name represented.
