Heading to Shrek! Entrance Exam!

"No!"

Jiang Yi rolled his eyes.

As for the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, Tang San had already castrated the whole thing.

Rather than joining the current Tang Sect, he would be better off finding an opportunity later to see if he could sneak into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.

The fact that Tang Ya, a mere three-ring Soul Master, could run around the world without being captured was enough to show the true value of the current Tang Sect's heritage.

Half the blame for the fall of the Tang Sect lay with Tang San himself.

A complete set of Tang Sect Hidden Weapons could slay gods, and the barrier to entry for Hidden Weapons was lower than that of Soul Tools; how could they possibly be rendered obsolete by current Soul Tool technology?

Even a level-nine Soul Master was barely equivalent to a Super Douluo, and a level-ten Soul Tool wouldn't appear until the very end of the story, and it might not even compare to Guanyin's Tears.

"..."

Tang Ya was choked half to death by Jiang Yi's clean and decisive refusal, but she had no temper to lose.

The Tang Sect was currently destitute and had absolutely no capital to attract a genius like Jiang Yi; she, the Sect Master, might not even be able to beat him in a fight.

But she really wanted Jiang Yi.

Almost all Shrek students were loyal to Shrek and few wanted to join the Tang Sect; Bei Bei was only here because of her.

A wild genius like Jiang Yi was truly a rare find.

"Senior Sister Tang Ya, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

Jiang Yi looked at the silent Tang Ya, shrugged, and turned to leave.

"Wait!"

Tang Ya suddenly bit her red lips, stepped forward, and grabbed his hand.

"If you sincerely join the Tang Sect and help the great cause of the Tang Sect's revival, I can give the Sect Master position to you..."

She looked at Jiang Yi with a sincere and firm expression; as long as it was for the Tang Sect, she was willing to do anything.

However, Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow, grabbed her small hand in return, lifted it into mid-air, and looked at her with a beaming smile.

"Which Sect Master? Senior Sister Tang Ya~"

Jiang Yi looked Tang Ya up and down, his naked gaze landing on her without any concealment.

Although Tang Ya was a bit weak, her figure was genuinely excellent, possessing quite a bit of the charm of the Soft Bone Douluo.

To be fair, he was very into this type.

"You... have you really thought it through?"

Under Tang Ya's bewildered gaze, Jiang Yi leaned into her ear, whispered a meaningful sentence, and then let go of her hand and turned to leave.

Only Tang Ya was left standing there, stunned.

A few breaths later, she suddenly covered her small face and squatted down, her snow-white neck flushed with a deep crimson.

"Bastard--"

What was that guy saying?

She was clearly talking about the position of Sect Master... not her, the Sect Master!

"Tang Ya! What's wrong?"

Just then, Bei Bei walked over from a distance, squatted down beside her, and reached out as if to stroke her head.

But fearing that Tang Ya might be unhappy, he silently retracted his hand.

"Did Jiang Yi bully you?"

His face stiffened, his tone filled with concern.

Although he had a good impression of Jiang Yi, if he dared to bully Teacher Tang Ya, he wouldn't go easy on him.

This was love!

"No... it's just that I failed again."

Tang Ya raised her head and pouted.

Her face returned to its previous carefree smile, but a hint of confusion remained hidden in the depths of her eyes.

"It doesn't matter. Junior Brother Jiang isn't willing, but I will definitely help you!"

Bei Bei patted his chest, his expression firm.

However, Tang Ya was not swayed by his heroic spirit; she just gave him a sweet smile.

"Thank you, Bei Bei!"

"It's nothing! I'm willing to do whatever Teacher Tang Ya asks of me!"

Bei Bei looked at the girl's bright smile as if he had been injected with adrenaline; a grown man actually began to act bashful.

Tang Ya smiled at me!

She has me in her heart!!!

Bei Bei clenched his fists in secret, nearly unable to stop himself from jumping for joy.

"I'm going to patrol the nearby area!"

Bei Bei straightened his expression and trotted away, looking quite eager.

Left behind, Tang Ya watched Bei Bei's retreating back, her own fists slowly unclenching within her sleeves.

Bei Bei, you are a good person.

She sighed in her heart.

Although Bei Bei had never explicitly told her, she had learned of his background through Xu Sanshi.

Given Bei Bei's status, she wasn't confident that she could keep him in the Tang Sect forever, preventing him from returning to Shrek.

"I'm sorry..."

Tang Ya withdrew her gaze, the hesitation in her eyes gradually fading away.

This is all for the sake of the Tang Sect!

"First Soul Skill, Eye of True Sight!"

Huo Yutong gave a soft cry, and a phantom vertical pupil split open on her forehead, blooming with azure radiance.

Under the sweep of this vertical pupil, everything in the surroundings seemed to have nowhere to hide.

"Hiss--"

Tang Ya instinctively tightened her clothes, her expression somewhat strange; she felt as if she were running around naked.

"Little Yutong, what kind of ability is this soul skill? It feels so weird..."

Tang Ya asked curiously.

Jiang Yi also frowned.

He had a feeling of being spied upon, and it seemed that Tian Meng's concealment was ineffective against it.

"It can see through all disguises... and this kind of detection cannot be blocked by physical or spiritual power."

Huo Yutong shifted her gaze away from Jiang Yi, her eyes drifting slightly; as expected, men and women were different.

Afterward, her gaze swept past Bei Bei and landed on Tang Ya.

Aside from the two large mounds, she could see streams of white energy circulating within Tang Ya's body in a peculiar trajectory.

Is this the Mysterious Heaven Skill?

But just then, the vertical pupil on her forehead suddenly dissipated, and a wave of intense weakness surged from within her body.

Stumble! Stumble, stumble!

Huo Yutong staggered a few times, nearly collapsing, but fortunately, Tang Ya stepped forward in time to support her.

"Are you alright? It seems this soul skill of yours consumes a lot of soul power."

Tang Ya held Huo Yutong, gently patting her back.

"But it doesn't matter. Later, I will teach you our Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Skill; it should make things much better..."

"Thank you, Sister Xiaoya!"

Huo Yutong smiled sweetly.

Jiang Yi, meanwhile, rubbed his chin and looked at Huo Yutong, lost in thought.

Isn't this just X-ray vision?

But where were you looking just now, you little girl?

After obtaining the first soul ring for Huo Yutong, Jiang Yi followed Tang Ya and the others toward Shrek.

Along the way, Tang Ya didn't bother Jiang Yi again, instead focusing on teaching Huo Yutong the unique arts of the Tang Sect.

A few days later, the four of them stood before a magnificent city.

"This is Shrek City! How is it? Isn't it spectacular?"

Tang Ya stood with her hands on her hips, looking ahead with a hint of pride in her tone.

After the fall of the Tang Sect, this place had become her second home; her feelings toward Shrek had always been complex.

"So big!"

Huo Yutong exclaimed in wonder.

Even Star Luo City could not compare to the massive city before them.

"Alright, Yutong, let's go. The academy is on the other side of the city... The registration office is over there, so we won't escort you any further."

Tang Ya took Huo Yutong's hand, then turned back to look at Jiang Yi, pointing in another direction.

"Mm, understood!"

Jiang Yi nodded slightly, and then the group went their separate ways.

As the premier academy on the continent, Shrek Academy admitted one thousand students annually, yet the number of applicants reached over ten thousand.

The academy's registration office was located at the southwest entrance of Shrek Academy. Today was the final day of registration, yet there were still many people waiting in line.

At the end of the queue, a little girl with a single ponytail was standing on her tiptoes, straining to peer ahead.

She appeared to be about eleven or twelve years old, dressed in a cyan long skirt, with a small token hanging from her waist that swayed back and forth.

"Ugh, why isn't it moving yet?"

She muttered softly, drawing circles on the ground with her toe.

Hearing footsteps behind her, she turned around, her large, round eyes meeting Jiang Yi's gaze.

"Are you here to register, too?"

She tilted her head, her tone carrying a hint of excitement.

But before Jiang Yi could answer, she had already reached out her hand with great familiarity.

"I'm Xiao Xiao! What about you?"
