Shrek's Enrollment: All Twelve Years Old, and You're a Soul Emperor? Xiao Wu Panics: Are Daming and Erming All Right?

Shrek Academy.

Today was the academy's annual enrollment day, but the atmosphere was even more electric than in previous years.

"Fourth test, and the final one!"

A burly man built like an iron tower stood before them, his muscles knotted and his face covered in rugged flesh.

Seven Soul Rings—two yellow, two purple, and three black—shimmered around him, radiating a suffocating pressure.

He was Zhao Wuji, the "Immovable Wisdom King," a Level 76 Power Attack System Battle Soul Saint!

"You four Little Monsters can come at me together. If you can withstand my attacks for the time it takes one incense stick to burn, you'll pass!"

Zhao Wuji bared his teeth in a savage grin. The powerful fluctuations of his Soul Power made the air grow thick and viscous.

Facing him stood Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing.

Tang San's expression was grave. He pushed his Purple Demon Eye to its limits, analyzing Zhao Wuji's every movement.

Xiao Wu loosened up her arms and legs, her eyes eager for a fight.

Zhu Zhuqing bent forward slightly, like a leopard ready to pounce.

Ning Rongrong gripped her Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda nervously, ready to provide support at any moment.

In a corner of the academy, Dean Flender, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun were watching the spectacle.

"Heh, looks like Teacher Zhao's going all out this time."

Ma Hongjun grinned gleefully.

Dai Mubai's eyes sharpened.

"That control-type Soul Master named Tang San and the Power Attack System Soul Master named Xiao Wu are both formidable. This test is going to be quite a show."

Farther away, atop a large tree no one had noticed, a disheveled man reeking of alcohol silently watched everything unfold.

His eyes remained fixed on Tang San, a trace of relief and complicated emotion in their depths.

It was none other than the Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao.

Zhao Wuji was about to light the incense and announce the start of the test.

But who could have expected such a sudden turn of events?

Without warning, every living being across Douluo Continent—whether in the human world or the Soul Beast forests—saw a colossal golden Sky Screen slowly unfurl across the azure sky!

A grand, imposing, sacred voice resounded in the minds of every living being.

[The Heavenly Dao shines clear; the myriad worlds look on.

Today, we take stock of Douluo Continent's hidden powerhouses, to reveal their might!]

[Sky Screen Ranking: Top Ten Hidden Powerhouses of Douluo Continent!]

"What is that?!"

Zhao Wuji jerked his head up. The savage grin froze on his face, replaced by unprecedented shock.

Flender, Dai Mubai, and the others stared at the sky in astonishment.

Even the calm, well-like gaze of Tang Hao rippled for the first time.

Was this a divine miracle?!

Everyone stopped what they were doing, and the test was forced to a halt.

At that moment, all of Shrek Academy—and, indeed, all of Douluo Continent—fell into an eerie silence. Countless pairs of eyes stared fixedly at the sky.

Hidden powerhouses?

Who could it be?

Bibi Dong, the Spirit Hall's pope?

Or Tang Chen of the Clear Sky Sect?

Perhaps Bo Saixi, the high priest of Sea God Island?

As everyone speculated, brilliant golden light flooded the Sky Screen. One line after another of astonishing text appeared, setting the entire world ablaze!

[TOP 1: Gu Yuan]

[Identity: Human/Golden Dragon King (One Soul, Two Bodies)]

[Soul Power: Level 62 (Twelve Years Old)]

[Location: Core Circle of the Star Dou Great Forest, living alongside Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena]

Silence.

Dead silence.

The next second, a thunderous uproar erupted at Shrek Academy!

"Sixty... sixty-two levels?! Did I read that right?!"

Ma Hongjun rubbed his eyes furiously, the fat on his cheeks trembling.

"Twelve years old... a Soul Emperor?"

The sausage in Oscar's hand fell to the ground. He was dumbfounded.

"You've got to be kidding!

He's more monstrous than a monster!"

Dai Mubai clenched both fists, his nails digging deep into his palms.

He was fifteen and Level 37, and had always considered himself a genius among geniuses.

But compared to this Gu Yuan on the Sky Screen, his talent was a complete joke!

The pride he'd carried deep in his heart was shattered in an instant.

"Impossible! This can't be true!"

Zhao Wuji roared. He'd always taken pride in his Level 76 cultivation, yet this twelve-year-old child had already reached Level 62!

What did that even mean?

It meant that before the other boy turned fifteen, he might surpass Zhao Wuji in Soul Power Level!

"A monster... Now that's a real monster!"

Zhao Wuji murmured to himself, feeling his entire worldview crumble.

Flender's glasses slid to the tip of his nose. He stared at the words "Twelve Years Old, Level 62," breathing faster and faster.

He'd spent his whole life searching for monstrous students. But only today did he realize how insignificant the Little Monsters he'd found were before a true "god."

Tang San's reaction was the calmest, yet the turmoil within him was the greatest.

His Purple Demon Eye remained fixed on every word on the Sky Screen.

"Golden Dragon King... Silver Dragon King... So the legends of the Dragon God's incarnations were true?"

The knowledge from his previous life had given him some vague understanding of certain myths, but he had never expected them to be confirmed in this way.

(The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well Tang San knew about from his previous life existed in this world too, so this was reasonable, right? After all, judging by this information, the world from Tang San's previous life should also have been under the jurisdiction of the Douluo God Realm.)

"One Soul, Two Bodies means he has two bodies at the same time, one human and one Golden Dragon King... A twelve-year-old Level 62 Soul Emperor. That's completely beyond the limits of the cultivation system!

How did he do it?"

Tang San's mind raced.

This Gu Yuan had become a colossal mystery in his heart, a mountain he could never hope to cross.

Twelve years old, Level 62, a Soul Emperor!

At the same age, he was only Level 29.

The comparison left Tang San's pride in tatters.

And yet the person with the strongest reaction was Xiao Wu.

The moment she saw the words "Location: Core Circle of the Star Dou Great Forest,"

her pretty, adorable face turned deathly pale.

Xiao Wu began to tremble uncontrollably, her eyes filled with utter shock, confusion, and fear.

The Core Circle of the Star Dou Great Forest?

Wasn't that where only she, Daming, and Erming could live?

Who was this human named Gu Yuan? Why was he there?!

And... the Silver Dragon King? Who was that?

One question after another crashed into Xiao Wu's heart like a heavy hammer.

What worried Xiao Wu most wasn't how terrifying that twelve-year-old Soul Emperor might be. It was...

What had happened to Daming and Erming?

Were they all right? Had this human and that so-called Silver Dragon King taken over her home?!

The thought clutched her heart in an invisible fist, squeezing so hard it hurt, leaving her almost unable to breathe.
