Shrek Academy

It was fortunate that Tang Yu had earned a little money over the years with Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and Purple Demon Eye. Otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to afford to feed this little foodie.

The two of them ate their way through the entire street, but Tang Xiaomi's belly didn't swell at all. She could never eat her fill, yet never gained weight.

That evening, the two returned to the hotel and found Tang San sitting beside Xiao Wu, looking very uncomfortable. Tang Yu asked in confusion, "Xiao San, what's wrong?"

"Big brother, i-it's nothing. It's getting late, so we should all get some rest. We're going to Shrek Academy tomorrow." Tang San spoke at once.

Tang Yu nodded slightly. Tang Xiaomi suddenly asked, "Shouldn't we go look for the teacher?"

Tang Yu patted Tang Xiaomi's head. "Don't worry about the teacher. Since he told us to come to Shrek Academy, he must know someone here. Maybe he'll go to Shrek Academy himself one of these days."

"Oh. Then let's go to bed." Tang Xiaomi nodded.

After that, the four of them each went back to their own rooms. Just like the night before, Tang San insisted on sleeping on the sofa.

The night passed without incident...

Early the next morning, the four of them got up, ate a couple of bites of breakfast, then left the hotel and headed for a small village outside Suotuo City.

When they arrived at the village, they saw a very long line. At the front stood a battered gate, with the words "Shrek Academy" written across it.

A table had been set up by the academy entrance. An old man sat behind it and announced, "The registration fee is ten Gold Soul Coins. It won't be refunded, whether or not you're accepted. Also, our Shrek Academy only accepts children under thirteen. Anyone older than that won't be admitted."

Hearing this, Tang San smiled. "I'm getting more and more curious about this Shrek Academy."

"Curious or not, we'll find out once we get in. Let's join the line," Tang Yu said.

Tang San and the others nodded, then slowly joined the queue.

Some people in the line who heard the old man's announcement immediately took their children and left. Some had hoped to sneak in despite their children being over thirteen, while others couldn't bear to pay so much.

As the line gradually shortened, a child soon reached the front. The old man felt his hand, then nodded. "You meet the age requirement. Let me see your Martial Soul."

The child nodded and released his Hundred-Year Soul Ring. A thick, long vine coiled around his body, and a Yellow Soul Ring circled him as well.

After taking a look, the old man said, "You don't qualify. You can leave."

The child was bewildered, and his father immediately grew agitated. "Why? My son was a genius at the Junior Soul Master Academy! And his First Soul Ring was a hundred-year one!"

The old man replied calmly, "A hundred-year First Soul Ring is indeed impressive, but our Shrek Academy only accepts monsters, not ordinary people! Anyone over thirteen who hasn't reached level twenty-one in Soul Power can leave. Don't waste everyone's time."

Tang San asked in surprise, "Are the requirements at Shrek Academy really that high? Wouldn't that make it difficult to recruit students?"

Tang Yu smiled. "Then how else would it be called Shrek Academy? A Shrek is a kind of monster, so the academy is also known as Monster Academy. If you're not a monster, you can't get in."
