Mistaking Him for a Titled Douluo

After seeing Lin Xiao release his Soul Power, he felt that the aura was even more terrifying than his imperial father's.

Once Lin Xiao withdrew his aura, everyone finally let out a breath.

"Your Excellency is indeed powerful. May I ask which place's Titled Douluo you are?"

At that moment, a voice came from the direction of Shrek Academy. A middle-aged man slowly walked out from within.

The man looked to be in his forties. He was not very tall, around one meter sixty-something, but his muscular physique was what truly stood out.

Especially the tattoo on his chest, which displayed this man's domineering aura.

This man was none other than Shrek Academy's vice dean, Zhao Wuji.

Zhao Wuji had sensed that aura earlier and hurried over without stopping.

But upon seeing Lin Xiao, he found it hard to believe. Was this really a Titled Douluo? How could he be so young?

"You've misunderstood. My name is Lin Xiao, a level sixty-three assault-type battle Spirit Emperor. My martial soul... is a sword."

"Hm?" Zhao Wuji clearly did not believe him. That aura had obviously reached the level of a Titled Douluo. How could he possibly be a Spirit Emperor?

Could it be that this senior was merely amusing himself at his expense?

"Senior, please do not joke with me. I am Zhao Wuji, vice dean of Shrek Academy. If there is anything you need, please feel free to say so. The dean is currently away, and I am fully in charge here."

Lin Xiao sighed helplessly. "Fine. Since you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. I came here to apply as a teacher."

As he spoke, Lin Xiao picked up Gu Yuena. "This is my younger sister, Na'er. She's here to enroll as a student."

Zhao Wuji froze. A Titled Douluo wanted to join Shrek?

Wouldn't that make them soar to new heights?

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Zhao Wuji bowed deeply. "For Your Excellency to join Shrek Academy is truly an honor for Shrek. On behalf of the dean, I welcome you, Senior. Your younger sister will not need to take any tests and may enter Shrek Academy directly."

"I will send someone to inform the dean. He will return before long."

Lin Xiao nodded. "All right. Then show me around Shrek Academy."

"Please, Senior!" Zhao Wuji said respectfully, making an inviting gesture.

Led by Zhao Wuji, Lin Xiao and Gu Yuena entered Shrek Academy.

Na'er's little face reddened as she asked softly, "Brother, I'm already a big girl. You... still carry me?"

Lin Xiao laughed. "Does Na'er not like being carried by Brother?"

"No~ Na'er likes being with Brother, but Na'er has already grown up. Brother, don't treat Na'er like a child anymore."

Gu Yuena smiled, took a piece of candy from her pocket, unwrapped it, and stuffed it into Lin Xiao's mouth.

"All right, all right. Na'er has grown up. Brother won't carry you anymore."

Just as Lin Xiao was about to put Gu Yuena down, Na'er tightly wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her little head against his chest.

"I'll forgive Brother this time~ Na'er likes it when Brother carries me~"

Zhao Wuji beside them cast them a puzzled look. Were they really brother and sister? Why did their words sound so strange?

Led by Zhao Wuji, the three arrived at Shrek Academy's training ground.

The Shrek training ground was not large, about the size of a basketball court. There were also many wooden houses around it, which appeared to be where the students lived.

"Your Excellency, this is our training ground. Over there is the student dormitory area."

"Mm, it's not bad." Lin Xiao nodded. He was not picky about where he stayed. As long as there was a place to live, it was enough.

"If Your Excellency has any requests, please feel free to mention them. I will do everything in my power to satisfy you. If the rooms are not good enough, I will personally send someone to build one for you."

Lin Xiao smiled. "You are too polite, Immovable Ming King."

Upon hearing the words Immovable Ming King, Zhao Wuji's heart skipped a beat. Aside from certain powerful figures, only sect elders and the like knew of him.

Lin Xiao was not even twenty, yet he knew as well. It seemed his instincts had been right. This young man was definitely a top-tier powerhouse.

What he could not understand, however, was why Lin Xiao had come to Shrek Academy. Shrek Academy was considered the worst among intermediate Soul Master Academies. They did not even have a mimicry training area and simply could not provide their students with a better cultivation environment.

Could it be that this senior was enjoying life?

Choosing to seek a breakthrough through an ordinary life?

At that moment, Tang San and the others had also passed the tests and arrived at the academy's training ground, preparing for the next assessment.

Not far away, a scruffy bearded man pushed a small cart toward them.

"Sausages for sale! Cheap and delicious! Hot, fragrant grilled sausages—tasty and affordable!"

Na'er pointed at the sausage cart gradually approaching from afar. "Brother, I want to eat sausages."

There was no need to think about it. This was Oscar, the grilled sausage vendor.

Oscar wore a simple gray outfit, and his hair was somewhat messy. Most notably, his young face was covered in a thick beard.

But Oscar had his merits as well. He had large peach blossom eyes, though they currently looked somewhat lecherous. Oscar's gaze remained fixed on the girls among the examinees.

Na'er became a little frightened by his stare and hurriedly buried her head in Lin Xiao's arms.

Oscar stopped his cart in front of them.

"What would you like, everyone? My little sausages are exceptionally delicious, and they can even restore Soul Power."

At that moment, a boy in blue clothes was the first among the group to step forward.

The boy wore a smile. He had not eaten anything all day, so after smelling the fragrance of the grilled sausages, he wanted to buy a few.

"Uncle, please give me two sausages."

An ugly expression immediately appeared on Oscar's face.

"What did you just call me? Uncle?"

Tang San paused for a second before replying, "Of course, Uncle. Did I say something wrong?"

Oscar nearly cried. "Of course there's a problem! Brother, I'm only fourteen years old. You actually called me Uncle. Where am I supposed to put my face now?"

Tang San was also shocked upon hearing Oscar's words. The man before him was only fourteen? That was truly unbelievable.

"Let me tell you, my name is Oscar. I'm fourteen this year and a new student at Shrek. You can't call me Uncle. You have to call me Senior, understand?"

Not only Tang San, but the others also wore strange expressions. They had never expected Oscar, with that thick beard, to be only fourteen years old.

Growing such a long beard at fourteen was truly difficult to believe.

At that moment, Tang San's stomach rumbled again.

Tang San helplessly took out several silver coins and handed them to Oscar. "Sorry, Senior. I was disrespectful just now. Please give me a few grilled sausages."

Lin Xiao glanced at Tang San beside him and could not help but think, So he's Tang San, known as the most shameless man on Douluo Continent.
