God King Tang's Third Daughter

Just like that, as soon as Feng Piaoling went to participate in the assessment, he saw quite a few people being eliminated because their first soul ring was white.

What puzzled Feng Piaoling, however, was that while commoners were one thing, how could some nobles also have white first soul rings?

Had their families lost their minds?

There were ten senior students from the academy responsible for assessing the new students.

Each senior had set up a table in the open space outside the East City Gate, and behind each table, a long line had formed.

Feng Piaoling chose a line with fewer people.

The senior in charge of this line was a square-faced youth wearing a purple school uniform; judging by his appearance, he was a fourth-year student like Jiang Nannan. He first checked Feng Piaoling's bone age, then looked over the recommendation letter Feng Piaoling had brought, and said in a businesslike tone:

"Release your Martial Soul."

Yellow, purple, and purple soul rings rose from beneath his feet. Feng Piaoling raised his right hand, and as yellow light surged in his palm, a talisman paper with strange patterns appeared.

"A thousand-year second ring, a Soul Elder."

A gasp erupted from the crowd. Everyone turned to look at him.

Jiang Nannan's companions, in particular, had eyes that were practically popping out of their heads.

A man like this was simply too perfect.

No wonder Sister Nannan would reject Xu Sanshi's pursuit for his sake.

If it were them, they would be willing too.

After a long while, the square-faced youth finally recovered from his shock. The look he gave Feng Piaoling now held a hint of respect. "The recommendation letter is also in order. When you enter the academy later and go to the white freshman teaching building to register and pay your tuition, just hand this form and the recommendation letter to the teacher in charge of registration."

As he spoke, he quickly scribbled Feng Piaoling's information onto a form and handed it to him.

Feng Piaoling nodded.

Just as he was about to leave, a burst of exclamations suddenly came from another group. "Another thousand-year second ring."

Feng Piaoling turned his head to look and saw a delicate-looking youth with fair skin standing before the assessment table. His body hadn't undergone any changes, but those two soul rings—one yellow and one purple—were exceptionally eye-catching.

As Feng Piaoling looked over, the youth happened to look back. Their eyes met, and the youth gave a light huff before proudly turning his head away, as if to say that he wasn't the only one with a thousand-year second ring.

"What is your Martial Soul?" the senior in charge of that group asked, looking at the youth before him.

The youth's hair and eyes were quite unique, a pale powder-blue. His handsome features were not a whit inferior to Feng Piaoling's.

It was just that one leaned toward the feminine, while the other leaned toward the masculine; they were two completely different types of handsome.

The youth said with a hint of arrogance: "Radiant Goddess Butterfly."

God King Tang's one-third daughter, is it?

Looking at the youth's high-and-mighty attitude, Feng Piaoling quickly came to his own conclusions.

With the form provided by the assessment senior, Feng Piaoling entered Shrek Academy through the South City Gate without any obstruction.

In terms of environment alone, Shrek Academy was indeed beautiful, with rich and lush vegetation. Walking along the wide avenues made one feel quite comfortable.

Unfortunately, this comfort was completely ruined by the ten statues in Shrek Plaza and a voice filled with exasperation.

The ten statues, needless to say, were self-evident.

They were the Golden Triangle from ten thousand years ago: Flender, Yu Xiaogang, and Liu Erlong.

And the original Shrek Seven Devils who also acted like scoundrels: Dai Mubai, Oscar, Tang San, Ma Hongjun, Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing.

When he saw those massive statues, Feng Piaoling felt an instinctive, physiological disgust.

Flender was a money-grubber and a swindler, unworthy of being a teacher.

Before taking in the original Shrek Seven Devils, he had taught for twenty years, and out of sixty-two gifted students, only fourteen had graduated.

As for the others, the lucky ones were ruined by his teaching.

The unlucky ones died directly on the road to hunting soul rings.

Xuan Zi, hailed by the vast majority of netizens as the Grand Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, had a tradition of sabotaging excellent Shrek students and sitting idly by while they died at the hands of soul beasts and Evil Soul Masters; it was likely that this tradition was inherited from him.

Yu Xiaogang was purely a coward who was "weak and powerless externally, but struck heavy blows internally"—a total waste of space.

The Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul that he had cobbled together had caused harm for ten thousand years; there was no telling how many people had been misled and poisoned by them.

Feng Piaoling himself was one of the victims.

Because of this guy's theories, the city lord of Feng Piaoling's hometown had guessed he possessed Twin Martial Souls by sheer blind luck, which in turn brought a catastrophe upon his family.

This made Feng Piaoling hate the man to the core, even more so than God King Tang.

As for Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang—one was a cousin, the other a cousin; those who know, know.

The original Shrek Seven Devils were even less worth mentioning.

Dai Mubai was a veteran lecher.

Oscar and Ma Hongjun were things that ate human food but didn't act like humans, especially Ma Hongjun, with that nonsense about "the phoenix finally became a god, but lost its soul when it lost the swallow."

If you had the ability, don't become a god. If you didn't become a god, couldn't you have grown old with Bai Chenxiang?

When it comes down to it, he is nothing but a piece of trash, the kind who couldn't even swallow if you fed him.

Ning Rongrong is a white-eyed wolf; she watched Sword and Bone fall with her own eyes, yet her heart was entirely focused on her "San-giegie." One wonders if she couldn't let go of Tang San, refused to have children with Oscar, or simply couldn't conceive.

She merely gave the sect that raised her the empty glory of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. In the end, she didn't even leave the inheritance of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu are nothing but pendants.

As for God King Tang...

Just as he was internally venting his frustrations, that exasperated voice rang out from behind him, "You surnamed Feng, stop right there."

Feng Piaoling turned around to see that it was none other than the Young Master Xu of the Mysterious Underworld Sect, who specialized in the path of ferocity. A playful expression immediately appeared on his face, "Does Young Master Xu have business with me?"

"I didn't expect a kid like you to be a Soul Elder with a thousand-year second soul ring. I have to admit, this young master underestimated you. Do you dare to meet me in the Soul Fighting Arena tomorrow for a duel?"

By now, quite a few new students who had passed the assessment were walking toward them.

"Sure, one Mysterious Water Pill plus one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins," Feng Piaoling said with a calm expression.

Xu Sanshi was stunned, "Didn't you say you didn't want it?"

"Repaying a debt of gratitude and a soul duel are two different things. If there isn't a wager, why would I bother fighting you?" Feng Piaoling replied.

When Xu Sanshi heard this, it sounded reasonable... as if!

A single soul duel, and he wanted to swindle him out of a Mysterious Water Pill and one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins.

As if such a good deal existed in this world.

He didn't even have that much money on him.

But if he refused, wouldn't that be telling the world that he, Xu Sanshi, was afraid of the other party?

Caught in a dilemma, Xu Sanshi had no choice but to flush red and say, "Fine, but if you lose, you are never to pester Jiang Nannan again."
