[Ding!] [Key figure Da Ming's recognition that Shrek Academy was a Monster Academy had increased!] [Congratulations to the host for obtaining the reward: Special Teacher—Blazing Dragon Douluo Feng Wuyu (unlocked)!] [Key figure Er Ming's recognition that Shrek Academy was a Monster Academy had increased!] [Congratulations to the host for obtaining the reward: Special Teacher—Demon Eagle Douluo Zhang Yang (unlocked)!] [Key figure Wang Dong'er's recognition that Shrek Academy was a Monster Academy had increased!] [Congratulations to the host for obtaining the reward: Fire Element (automatically came with nine hundred-thousand-year soul rings)!]
Inside the principal's office, Lin Feng, who had been leisurely drinking tea, suddenly heard the system's notification in his mind.
The hand holding his teacup paused slightly, and a trace of surprise flashed through his eyes.
"Feng Wuyu?"
The corners of Lin Feng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.
This man was a real heavyweight.
In the original work, Feng Wuyu was not only a nine-ringed Title Douluo, but also an eighth-rank Saint Craftsman-level blacksmith! His joining Shrek Academy at this point was excellent—no, it had come at exactly the right time.
However, when his gaze landed on the name of the second reward, his expression became somewhat strange.
"Zhang Yang?"
If he remembered correctly, this name should belong to Zhang Yangzi from Class Zero at Eastsea Academy in the original work, right?
His Martial Soul was the Dark Phantom Eagle. Although he had plenty of scenes early on, he was, at most, a promising supporting character.
When he left Eastsea Academy, Zhang Yangzi had only been at the two-ring level. He had been directly strengthened into a Title Douluo?
Then again, there were only so many characters from the original work who could be triggered. No wonder Xu Xiaoyan and the others had appeared in versions that had just entered Shrek Academy. So they had been waiting for him here.
He looked over the information card.
His name was Zhang Yang, and both his appearance and name had changed from the original. Only his Martial Soul and early experiences remained unchanged, while his future trajectory had changed. At least that made him hard to confuse with the original one.
At the second testing area.
"Phew... phew..."
Wang Dong'er panted heavily. Her once-rosy little face was now deathly pale, and fine beads of sweat covered her forehead.
Cai Yue'er stood beside her with the score sheet in hand and casually glanced at Wang Dong'er.
"Six points."
Her voice remained cold and clear, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.
Upon hearing the score, Da Ming and Er Ming exchanged glances. Rather than looking dissatisfied, bitter smiles appeared on their faces.
If this had happened earlier, Er Ming would have already been stomping around and cursing.
But now... after experiencing that pressure, they even wondered whether Cai Yue'er had secretly gone easy on her.
Of course, neither of them knew that the pressure they had endured was different from what Wang Dong'er had endured.
"Thank you for showing mercy, Teacher."
Da Ming cupped his hands.
Cai Yue'er ignored his pleasantries and turned toward the next room.
"Third test: display your Martial Souls."
Wang Dong'er steadied her breathing a little, then turned to look at Da Ming and Er Ming. Her large eyes blinked as if asking whether she really had to reveal everything.
Da Ming nodded slightly and said in a deep voice.
"Xiao Qi, stop holding back."
"Since you've come to this Monster Academy, show them everything you've got!"
"Yes!"
After receiving confirmation, Wang Dong'er took a deep breath.
"Buzz—"
As her Soul Power surged, a pair of incomparably gorgeous blue butterfly wings abruptly unfurled behind her!
Light Goddess Butterfly!
Immediately afterward.
Wang Dong'er did not stop. She clenched her left hand in the air, and a heavy, domineering aura instantly erupted!
A small pitch-black hammer appeared in her palm.
Clear Sky Hammer!
Twin Martial Souls!
After displaying them, Wang Dong'er withdrew her Martial Souls and looked at Cai Yue'er expectantly.
This time, she should get a high score, right?
Cai Yue'er looked at the girl before marking the form and speaking blandly.
"Eight points."
"Yay!"
Wang Dong'er clenched her little fist, and a happy smile finally appeared on her face.
Eight points! That was a high score!
However, before she could celebrate for long, Cai Yue'er brought them to the fourth room.
"Fourth test: Secondary Profession assessment."
Cai Yue'er pointed at the rows of strange-looking workbenches and instruments in the room.
"Demonstrate the skills you possess besides Soul Master cultivation."
"Secondary Profession?"
Wang Dong'er and the other two looked at one another, utterly bewildered.
"What was that?"
Er Ming scratched his head.
Cai Yue'er frowned, seemingly finding the ignorance of these three rather unbelievable.
"For example, blacksmith, Mecha Manufacturer, Mecha Repairman..."
She listed a string of professions before looking at Wang Dong'er.
"You haven't learned any of these?"
Wang Dong'er shook her head awkwardly, her little face flushing red.
"N-No."
Da Ming and Er Ming also looked embarrassed.
"You haven't even dabbled in the most basic auxiliary professions..."
Cai Yue'er shook her head in disappointment, and the pen in her hand came down without mercy.
"Zero points."
"Uh..."
The three of them felt as though a basin of cold water had been dumped over their heads. Their earlier joy instantly vanished.
Fortunately, they had still passed in the end, with a total of sixty-two points.
"Passed."
"Phew—"
Upon hearing those two words, all three of them let out long sighs of relief.
"That's great!"
Wang Dong'er was so excited that she nearly jumped up. She grabbed Da Ming's hand and bounced around.
"Big Dad, Second Dad! I passed! I qualified!"
"Good, good, good! Our Xiao Qi is the best!"
Da Ming and Er Ming were all smiles as well.
They had finally completed the task Tang San had assigned them.
"Since you've passed."
Cai Yue'er put away the form and turned around.
"Come with me. I'll take you to choose your dormitory."
"Wait!"
Da Ming hurriedly took two quick steps forward, moved closer to Cai Yue'er, rubbed his hands together, and said with a flattering smile.
"Um... Teacher."
"Could you... let our Xiao Qi pick her own dormitory?"
"After all, it's her first time traveling so far from home. We want to find her a place with a better environment and friendlier roommates..."
Cai Yue'er stopped and glanced at him, but she did not refuse.
"Students choose their own dormitories anyway."
As she spoke, she flipped her wrist and took out a tablet-like soul screen from her Storage Soul Tool, tapping it a few times.
"All the remaining vacancies are listed here."
"Rooms marked in red are already occupied, while those marked in green are vacant."
"Most of these are double rooms."
Da Ming and Er Ming immediately leaned over.
Very quickly, Er Ming's eyes lit up. He pointed at a red dot on the screen and shouted.
"Here! This one!"
"We'll take this dormitory!"
Cai Yue'er followed Er Ming's finger, and her brows immediately furrowed.
"Huo Yuhao?"
"Huo Yuhao is a boy."
Cai Yue'er raised her head and looked at Da Ming and Er Ming as though they were idiots.
"Mixed-gender housing? Are you trying to ruin this child's reputation?"
"Cough, cough..."
Da Ming coughed awkwardly and forced himself to say it.
"Well... actually, Teacher, you don't know this."
"Our Xiao Qi... is actually a boy too!"
"That's right, that's right!"
Er Ming chimed in from the side, patting his chest as he guaranteed it.
"Our Xiao Qi just looks a little delicate. He's actually a real man! Living with Huo Yuhao would be perfect! Perfect!"
This was Tang San's instruction. Although the two of them knew it was absurd, they still said it.
Although Wang Dong'er felt uncomfortable about it, she did not say anything. They had already agreed on it long ago.
However.
The moment Cai Yue'er heard this, her expression darkened.
Bang!
The soul screen in her hand jolted violently.
"Do you take me for a fool?!"
Cai Yue'er shouted furiously, her gaze sharp.
"Light Goddess Butterfly?!"
"That is a Martial Soul that only appears in female Soul Masters! It's common knowledge in the Soul Master world!"
"You dare point at a little girl with the Light Goddess Butterfly Martial Soul and tell me she's a boy?!"
"Do you really think Shrek Academy is some ignorant place that doesn't even know such basic common sense?!"
"This is absolutely absurd!"
