In Suotuo City, the crowds flowed like a tapestry, the shouts of street vendors and the chatter of soul masters blending together, thick with the vibrant atmosphere of daily life.
Gu Yuan and Gu Yuena, a couple with extraordinary temperaments, walked down the street, drawing frequent glances from passersby, though they were long accustomed to it and paid no mind.
"Have you heard? Shrek Academy is officially holding its enrollment today!"
"Wasn't the assessment supposed to be a few days ago? Because of that golden Sky Screen?"
"Exactly! Once the Sky Screen appeared, who had the heart for assessments? It was interrupted directly. It only restarted today!"
"Come on, let's go see the excitement! I heard quite a few genius soul masters from other regions have come to sign up!"
The excited chatter of several young soul masters drifted into the ears of Gu Yuan and Gu Yuena.
Gu Yuena's beautiful violet eyes flickered slightly, and she tilted her head to whisper to Gu Yuan: "Shrek Academy... Xiao Yuan, I can sense the aura of that little rabbit, right in that direction."
Gu Yuena's gaze turned toward a position outside the city, a trace of rare concern appearing in her eyes. "Since her identity was exposed by the Sky Screen, although no one dares to act openly for now because of Tang Hao, there is no telling how many greedy eyes are watching from the shadows. After all, the temptation of a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone is enough to make many people take desperate risks."
Gu Yuena did not know what Xiao Wu would do in the original story, so it was only natural for her to worry about Xiao Wu's safety.
Gu Yuan thought to himself, unable to help but smile. He chuckled inwardly. If Na'er knew that, had he not transmigrated into this world, she would have had to call this little rabbit 'mother' in the future, how would she feel?
As for the issue of Xiao Wu's safety? Gu Yuan did not care much. If he had, he would have taken Gu Yuena to rescue Xiao Wu the moment the Sky Screen exposed her.
It would be one thing if Xiao Wu had just left the Star Dou Great Forest. But as it stood, Xiao Wu was not like that anymore. She had entered the human world under the banner of avenging her mother, yet ended up playing around in Nuoding City with Tang San for six years. With an Innate Full Soul Power talent, she was only level 29 after six years, all while constantly spouting talk of avenging her mother. In Gu Yuan's view, if he, the Golden Dragon King, were on Douluo Planet, he would have just crunched her in one bite.
Gu Yuena paused and looked at Gu Yuan, her tone carrying a hint of a request: "Shall we... go see how she is doing? After all, she is also of the soul beast clan."
Gu Yuan sighed in his heart. Na'er was still too pure and kind. To be precise, after meeting Gu Yuan, Gu Yuena had chosen from the very beginning to make herself 'sentimental' so that she could truly fall in love with Gu Yuan and eventually give birth to a Son of the Dragon God who possessed the bloodlines of both the Silver Dragon King and the Golden Dragon King. It was a second personality that Gu Yuena had actively 'cultivated' herself. However, unlike the second personality in the third installment, this one was more accurately a second personality that had overwritten her original one.
At the same time, a meaningful smile curled the corners of Gu Yuan's lips. He had been fretting over not having a chance to "stretch his limbs" in this human world, and Shrek Academy was undoubtedly the perfect stage. Since he was already here, wouldn't it be a wasted trip if he didn't leave behind a legend?
The main cast was now all gathered at Shrek Academy. He had spent six years lying low in the Star Dou Great Forest. With only ferocious beasts like Di Tian around, he had nothing to do in his spare time but ride the Sky Azure Bull Python and tease the Titan Giant Ape. Living like that for too long, there really was no excitement to be found.
"Alright." Gu Yuan agreed instantly, tightening his grip on Gu Yuena's hand, his eyes shimmering with golden light, carrying a hint of disdain and playfulness.
"Na'er, you are right. How could we sit idly by when our kin is in trouble?
Besides, I am also quite curious to see what is so special about this Shrek Academy that claims to only recruit monsters."
Gu Yuan suppressed a laugh.
At the same time, he thought to himself:
Judging by the current timeline, Yu Xiaogang hasn't arrived at Shrek yet, has he?
What a pity. Otherwise, this trip to Shrek would have been even more entertaining.
With their minds made up, the two hesitated no longer. Gu Yuena sensed the spatial coordinates, and a silver radiance quietly enveloped their figures. The next moment, they vanished instantly from the bustling Suotuo City, without drawing anyone's attention.
Shrek Academy, at the simple village entrance.
Following the shock of the Sky Screen incident, the atmosphere of the academy's enrollment examination had become somewhat eerie.
Zhao Wuji stood with his arms crossed, his face darker than usual, in the center of the fourth round's arena. His gaze swept over the few remaining candidates before him—
Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing.
Xiao Wu kept her head lowered, her usual liveliness and spirit gone. She seemed shrouded in an invisible haze, standing silently beside Tang San while deliberately maintaining a distance.
Tang San's brows were tightly locked, his eyes complex. He felt both the pain and confusion regarding his father's actions, as well as concern for Xiao Wu's state.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing also wore solemn expressions, clearly not yet fully recovered from the shock brought by the Sky Screen.
Flender pushed up his glasses and said in a deep voice:
"The examination was interrupted due to the Sky Screen anomaly.
Now, the fourth round of the examination continues!
Zhao Wuji, light the incense!"
Zhao Wuji let out a muffled grunt and was about to move.
Suddenly, an indescribable sense of oppression descended without warning!
It was not a suppression of Soul Power Level, but an absolute majesty originating from the level of life and the origin of the soul.
It made everyone present, including Zhao Wuji, a Soul Saint, feel their breath hitch, as if their hearts were being gripped by an invisible giant hand!
"Who goes there?!"
Zhao Wuji looked up abruptly, his soul power erupting instantly. Seven soul rings appeared suddenly as he gazed vigilantly at the sky.
They saw the space above the academy ripple like water, and two figures—a man and a woman—quietly emerged and slowly descended.
The man had black hair and golden eyes, with a face of peerless handsomeness. He appeared to be only twelve or thirteen years old, but those golden eyes contained a depth and majesty inconsistent with his age, radiating dominance.
He stood with his hands behind his back, his posture casual, yet he carried an aura of one who reigns over the world.
The woman was even more breathtaking; with silver hair and violet eyes, her beauty was not that of a mortal. A simple silver dress worn by her looked more noble and sacred than an emperor's robes.
She merely stood there, and the elements around her danced and submitted of their own accord.
It was none other than Gu Yuan and Gu Yuena!
Their appearance instantly drew everyone's gaze.
That invisible pressure was emanating precisely from them.
"May I ask, your Excellencies, what brings you to my Shrek Academy? Is there anything you require our cooperation with?"
Flender suppressed the trepidation in his heart, stepped forward, and asked in a deep voice.
Standing in the void—this was at least a Titled Douluo!
They must not be offended.
Especially that silver-haired woman, who gave him a sense of insignificance, as if he were facing a vast sea of stars.
Gu Yuan's gaze swept over the people present, pausing slightly on the head-lowered Xiao Wu.
