Bone Age and Soul Power Test

Li Yusong's expression was initially displeased, but upon hearing Dai Mubai say that Li Luo and the others were here to enroll in Shrek Academy, his eyes immediately lit up.

"Ahem, the registration fee can be refunded to you."

Li Yusong coughed lightly and spoke to the parent from before, but there was no sincerity on his face; he remained cold, his attitude extremely poor.

However, the child's parent did not care about his attitude. As a member of the lower classes, he had always known how to read the room; as long as his hard-earned money was returned, he didn't care about the attitude at all.

The parent took back his hard-earned money, thanked Li Luo, and left quickly, fearing that the people from Shrek might change their minds.

The remaining people in line, having witnessed the true face of Shrek Academy, also left one after another.

The queue of dozens of people was almost entirely gone, leaving only Li Luo's group, a girl in a tight black suit with a well-developed figure and cat-ear accessories, and fewer than five other students waiting to enroll.

They were all under twelve years old with a Soul Power Level above twenty.

They still wanted to gamble on a chance to enter Shrek Academy.

Seeing this, Li Luo had no intention of stepping forward again. He was no saint; since one was willing to beat and the other was willing to suffer, he did not want to meddle in other people's business and bring trouble upon himself.

But Li Luo's previous intervention had already caught the attention of the girl in black.

Born into a noble family and deeply tied to the imperial house since birth, Zhu Zhuqing possessed a sense of nobility in her bones. She was surprised and intrigued to see someone stand up for a commoner, and thus, she became curious about Li Luo.

When Li Luo arrived, Zhu Zhuqing had not joined the queue but had been watching everything from afar.

She naturally saw the person she had traveled thousands of miles to Shrek Academy to find.

Zhu Zhuqing was standing in line behind Li Luo's group, so Li Luo could not see that she was staring at him.

The line quickly reached Li Luo. Of course, the others waiting in front had also passed the first stage of the Shrek Academy entrance exam.

Li Luo walked up to Li Yusong and extended his arm for the bone age test.

But Li Yusong only glanced at Li Luo and let him pass.

"Mubai has already told me about your situation; you don't need to be tested, you pass directly."

Dai Mubai had already informed Li Yusong of Li Luo's soul ring configuration.

Li Yusong felt that having Li Luo display his soul rings would be too flashy and might attract unwanted attention, so he allowed Li Luo to bypass the test.

Behind Li Luo was Tang San. Tang San placed his arm on the table, and Li Yusong felt his bones, his brow furrowing slightly.

"Have you practiced any hand-related soul skills?"

Tang San nodded.

"Lift your lower leg."

Tang San did as instructed, and after feeling his leg, Li Yusong's brow smoothed out.

"Alright, you are indeed under twelve. Your age is qualified; release your Martial Soul."

Upon hearing this, Tang San raised his right hand, and a Blue Silver King with faint golden patterns appeared in his palm, while three soul rings—yellow, purple, and purple—rose beneath him.

Tang San's soul ring configuration was not the optimal standard recognized by the world, but rather an over-limit thousand-year second ring.

This actually shocked Li Yusong.

He looked at Tang San in surprise, then turned his head to look at Dai Mubai.

It was as if he were saying, "Mubai, you brat, you aren't being honest. You didn't tell me this kid was already a Soul Elder, and with a thousand-year second ring at that!"

However, because of the precedent set by Li Luo's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, Li Yusong was not overly surprised to see Tang San's Blue Silver Grass.

Dai Mubai read the meaning in Li Yusong's eyes and waved his hand, looking helpless.

"I didn't know!"

Not receiving a satisfactory response from Dai Mubai, Li Yusong had no choice but to look back at Tang San.

"Fine, you pass. Put your Martial Soul away."

Tang San left the line and stood obediently beside Li Luo.

Dai Mubai knew the four of them were together, so he didn't rush them, intending to take them in together in a moment.

Next was Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu was too playful, but the cultivation speed of a transformed soul beast was linked to the cultivation speed of the humans they were close to.

Therefore, Xiao Wu had just barely reached level thirty, and after condensing a thousand-year soul ring, she had advanced to a Soul Elder.

Fortunately, Xiao Wu's soul ring configuration was the standard yellow-yellow-purple, so Li Yusong was not surprised again.

After all, how could there be so many monsters among monsters like Li Luo and Tang San?

That was what Li Yusong believed.

The last person in Li Luo's team was Ning Rongrong.

Because Ning Rongrong started later, was naturally playful, and had no one to urge her to cultivate, even though her Martial Soul had evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, she had not yet broken through to level thirty to become a Soul Elder before the age of twelve.

Currently, Ning Rongrong's Soul Power Level was twenty-nine.

After checking her bone age, Li Yusong asked Ning Rongrong to release her Martial Soul.

"Nine Treasures turn out the Glazed Tile."

Ning Rongrong raised her right hand, and a crystal-clear, nine-story, nine-colored glazed pagoda appeared in her palm.

Li Yusong was deeply shocked upon seeing the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. He was certainly familiar with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, but since Ning Rongrong's martial soul was the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda instead, he found himself somewhat indecisive.

"Child, what is your surname?"

"My surname is Ning, I am called Ning Rongrong."

Hearing Ning Rongrong's reply, Li Yusong finally confirmed her identity.

Yet, the heart he held in his throat did not settle.

"Does your family know you have come here?"

Li Yusong feared that Ning Rongrong had snuck out on her own; should anything happen to her, Shrek Academy could not bear the responsibility.

Ning Rongrong nodded, indicating that her family was aware.

Only then did Li Yusong heave a sigh of relief, signaling that Ning Rongrong had passed the age and spirit power tests for enrollment.

Ning Rongrong skipped over to Li Luo's side and hooked her arm through one of his.

Meanwhile, Li Luo's other arm was being held by Xiao Wu.

With only Zhu Zhuqing left behind Ning Rongrong, Dai Mubai did not immediately lead Li Luo and the others into Shrek Academy.

Dai Mubai looked at Zhu Zhuqing, feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

He had some guesses regarding Zhu Zhuqing's identity, but he was not certain.

Zhu Zhuqing placed her hand on the table as per the procedure. After Li Yusong checked her bone age, his brows furrowed slightly, and he muttered to himself.

"Eleven years old?"

"Summon your martial soul."

Zhu Zhuqing complied, and the phantom of the Hell Spirit Cat appeared behind her as two yellow spirit rings slowly rose from her body.

Upon seeing Zhu Zhuqing's martial soul, Li Yusong was visibly stunned, clearly recognizing her origin.

However, thinking of Dai Mubai's status, he did not ask further questions and allowed Zhu Zhuqing to follow the group, entering Shrek Academy under Dai Mubai's guidance to proceed with the subsequent assessments.

Compared to Li Yusong's reaction, Dai Mubai's was even greater.

But Dai Mubai did not show it; instead, he kept it to himself for once, walking to the side of the group as he led Li Luo and the others into Shrek Academy.

Nevertheless, as they moved forward, Dai Mubai would occasionally try to approach Zhu Zhuqing.
