He Was Nothing but Mediocre!

Ahead of Chen Feng and the others stretched a long line. At that moment, Chen Feng saw Ning Rongrong again.

Ning Rongrong stood in the middle of the line, still a long distance away from Chen Feng.

Just then, Ning Rongrong turned around and happened to spot Chen Feng. She froze.

"Chen Feng."

"Why has that piece of trash come to Shrek Academy too?"

After glancing at Chen Feng, Ning Rongrong was utterly shocked. She touched her face, and fury instantly flooded her heart.

She immediately sneered. "Hmph, you came at just the right time. I'd like to see how a piece of trash like you plans to pass Shrek Academy's test!"

Touching her face, she muttered again, "For that slap you gave me, I'll make you repay it tenfold!"

From afar, Dai Mubai and Tang San both saw Chen Feng standing farther back in the line. They were secretly astonished as well; they had not expected Chen Feng to come to Shrek Academy.

One applicant after another stepped forward, but most of them were eliminated.

At last, it was Ning Rongrong's turn.

Ning Rongrong walked up to the old man. After seeing her martial soul and Soul Power, the old man was secretly startled, then frowned slightly.

"May I ask whether I've passed the initial test?" Ning Rongrong's voice was soft and pleasant. It lacked some of its usual spirited edge, but it sounded gentle and sweet, enough to make one's body go weak.

The surprise on the old man's face gradually faded, and he frowned again. "Does your family know you came here?"

Ning Rongrong did not answer his question directly. She merely smiled. "They say education should make no distinction between classes. As long as I meet the academy's requirements, you have no reason not to accept me, do you?"

The old man seemed to hesitate before waving at Dai Mubai. "Take her inside."

Ning Rongrong walked in and stopped at the entrance to Shrek Academy.

Her gaze then turned toward Chen Feng and Kamisato Ayaka. Looking at them, Ning Rongrong's eyes gradually turned cold. She snorted inwardly. Hmph, you piece of trash. I'd like to see what gives you the nerve to apply to Shrek Academy!

Then it was Tang San and Xiao Wu's turn.

The old man first squeezed Xiao Wu's hand and nodded. "Your age is suitable." When his hand moved to Tang San's, the surprised sound from before escaped him again.

As though unwilling to believe it, the old man squeezed Tang San's hand several more times. The expression on his face immediately became strange.

He looked up at Tang San. "Have you practiced some kind of soul skill with your hands?"

The reason he examined each applicant's hands was to determine their true age from the bones in their palms. That could not be faked. Yet Tang San's hand was exceptionally flexible, and he could not clearly feel the condition of his bones at all.

Tang San's heart tightened. He nodded. "Yes."

The old man frowned. "Lift your lower leg."

Tang San did as instructed, lifting his lower leg and placing it on the desk. The old man squeezed it several times through his pants, and Tang San immediately felt a wave of soreness and numbness.

The old man nodded at him. "Your muscles are well developed. Your bone age is suitable. All right, release both of your martial souls."

Tang San and Xiao Wu exchanged a glance and simultaneously activated the Soul Power within their bodies.

Blue and red light rose at the same time, while century-old soul rings spiraled upward together.

Rabbit ears emerged, and soft white fur appeared over Xiao Wu's hands. Her body also became more slender. The Jade Rabbit possessed her.

The most ordinary Blue Silver Grass grew from Tang San's palm, rapidly transforming into a grass vine under the effects of his soul ring.

The old man merely gave Xiao Wu a casual glance before his gaze settled on Tang San. "Blue Silver Grass? Blue Silver Grass can cultivate this quickly too?"

Tang San smiled slightly. "Teacher, don't you only accept monsters here? Does that make me a monster?"

A rare trace of a smile appeared on the old man's face. "You really are a little monster. Mubai, take them inside."

"Yes." Dai Mubai stepped forward and smiled at Tang San.

Next came a girl dressed in black. She had a voluptuous figure and was exceedingly beautiful.

She passed the test with ease as well. Standing behind her, Chen Feng watched her release the Hell Spirit Cat martial soul and was certain that she was Zhu Zhuqing.

However, Chen Feng had no interest in them.

Finally, it was Chen Feng and Kamisato Ayaka's turn.

The two walked up to the old man. He tested their bone ages and nodded slightly. "Your ages are suitable. Release your martial souls!"

At that moment, Dai Mubai and Tang San stared fixedly at Chen Feng. Both had been defeated by him, so they paid him close attention.

Ning Rongrong stood behind them, her face cold and sinister. "He's nothing but a piece of trash. There's no way he can pass Shrek Academy's test, right?"

"Trash?" Upon hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Tang San and Dai Mubai both turned to look at her.

After all, Dai Mubai and Tang San had both been personally defeated by Chen Feng yesterday. If Chen Feng was trash, then what did that make them?

"You know him?" Dai Mubai immediately asked Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong nodded slightly. "Of course I know him. His name is Chen Feng, and he's Sword Douluo's grandson. But his aptitude is mediocre. He didn't inherit Sword Grandpa's talent, and his martial soul mutated into nothing more than an Iron Sword.

He's already twelve, yet his Soul Power is only level nineteen. He's so ordinary that he naturally can't pass Shrek Academy's test."

Ning Rongrong went on and on, but the expressions of Dai Mubai, Tang San, and Xiao Wu all changed slightly.

Tang San looked at Ning Rongrong. "Are you sure you haven't mistaken him for someone else?"

Ning Rongrong immediately said, "Of course not. He grew up with me. Even if he turned to ashes, I'd still recognize him!"

At that moment, Dai Mubai, Tang San, and Xiao Wu's expressions became somewhat puzzled.

"What's wrong with you? Do you know him too?" Ning Rongrong asked Dai Mubai and Tang San.

The two were just about to answer.

Then, all of a sudden, the voice of the testing teacher at the entrance rang out.

"How is this possible?"

"How can there be a little monster like you in this world?"

"Your martial soul is actually of such high quality! More importantly, your second soul ring is actually a thousand-year one!!"

Before Chen Feng floated a frost-covered longsword.

Two soul rings appeared around Chen Feng's body, one yellow and one purple, radiating dazzling light.

At that moment, Ning Rongrong saw it as well. She was utterly shocked, freezing in place as she staggered back several steps in disbelief.

"No... how is this possible?"

"He's obviously just a piece of trash. How could this happen?" Ning Rongrong shook her head repeatedly in shock.
