Shrek Recruitment, All 12 Years Old, You're a Soul Emperor? Xiao Wu Worried: Are Daming and Erming Okay?

Shrek Academy.

Today is the academy's annual enrollment day, yet the atmosphere is even more explosive than in previous years.

"The fourth round, and also the final one!"

A man as burly as an iron tower, with knotted muscles and a face full of fierce flesh, stands at the front.

Seven soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and three black—intertwine around him, radiating a suffocating pressure.

He is none other than the level 76 Power Attack System Battle Soul Saint, the "Immovable Bright King" Zhao Wuji!

"You four little monsters come at me together. As long as you can hold out against my attacks for the time it takes for one incense stick to burn, you pass!"

Zhao Wuji grins wide, revealing a ferocious smile, as powerful soul power fluctuations make the very air grow viscous.

Standing opposite him are Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing.

Tang San's expression is grave, his Purple Demon Eye pushed to the limit as he analyzes every movement Zhao Wuji makes.

Xiao Wu stretches her limbs, her eyes filled with eagerness.

Zhu Zhuqing crouches slightly, like a leopard ready to spring.

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

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

"Heh heh, it looks like Teacher Zhao is going to get serious this time."

Ma Hongjun laughs, gloating.

Dai Mubai's eyes are sharp:

"That Control System soul master named Tang San and the Power Attack System one named Xiao Wu are both no simple matter. This round will be worth watching."

Further away, at the top of an unnoticed tree, a disheveled man reeking of alcohol watches everything in silence.

His gaze remains locked on Tang San, his deep eyes filled with a trace of gratification and complexity.

It is the Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao.

Zhao Wuji is just about to light the incense stick to announce the start of the assessment.

But unexpectedly, a sudden change occurs!

Without any warning, across the entire Douluo Continent—whether in the human world or the soul beast forests—every living creature sees a massive golden canopy slowly unfurl across the azure sky!

A grand, majestic, and sacred voice resounds within the minds of every living being.

[The Heavenly Dao is clear, overlooking the myriad worlds.

Today, we tally the hidden powerhouses of the Douluo Continent to showcase their great might!]

[Sky Canopy Tally: The Top Ten Hidden Powerhouses of the Douluo Continent!]

"What is this?!"

Zhao Wuji looks up abruptly, the ferocious smile on his face freezing instantly, replaced by unprecedented shock.

Flender, Dai Mubai, and the others also stare at the sky in horror.

For the first time, violent ripples stir within Tang Hao's otherwise calm eyes.

Is this a miracle?!

Everyone stops what they are doing; the assessment is forced to a halt.

The entire Shrek Academy, and indeed the entire Douluo Continent, falls into an eerie silence at this moment, with countless eyes fixed firmly on the sky.

Hidden powerhouses?

Who could it be?

The Pope of Martial Soul Hall, Bibi Dong?

Or Tang Chen of the Clear Sky Sect?

Or perhaps the High Priestess of Sea God Island, Bo Saixi?

Just as everyone is guessing, the golden light on the canopy flares, and lines of soul-shaking characters emerge, instantly detonating the entire world!

[TOP 1: Gu Yuan]

[Identity: Human/Golden Dragon King (One soul, two bodies)]

[Soul Power: Level 62 (Twelve years old)]

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

Silence.

A deathly silence.

The next second, inside Shrek Academy, an outcry erupts like a mountain torrent or a tsunami!

"Si... sixty-second level?! Am I seeing things?!"

Ma Hongjun rubs his eyes vigorously, the fat on his face trembling.

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

The sausage in Oscar's hand dropped straight to the ground, and he stood there completely stunned.

"What kind of international joke is this! This is more of a monster than a monster!"

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

At fifteen years old and level thirty-seven, he had always prided himself on being a genius among geniuses.

But compared to this Gu Yuan on the sky screen, his talent was nothing but a joke!

That pride he felt from the bottom of his heart was shattered into pieces at this very moment.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

Zhao Wuji roared out, his voice cracking. He took pride in his cultivation level of seventy-six, yet this twelve-year-old child had already caught up to level sixty-two!

What kind of concept was this?

It meant that the other party might surpass him in Soul Power Level before even reaching the age of fifteen!

"A monster... this is the true monster!"

Zhao Wuji muttered to himself, feeling as though his entire worldview had been overturned.

Flender's glasses slid down to the tip of his nose. He stared fixedly at the words "Twelve years old, level sixty-two," his breathing becoming rapid.

He had spent his whole life searching for monster students, but today he realized that the little monsters he had found were insignificant in the face of a true "god."

Tang San's reaction was the calmest, yet the waves rising within his heart were the most immense.

His Purple Demon Eye locked tightly onto every word on the sky screen.

"Golden Dragon King... Silver Dragon King... the legend of the Dragon God's split forms is actually true?"

The knowledge from his past life gave him a vague understanding of some myths, but he had never imagined they would be confirmed in such a way.

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

"One soul, two bodies, meaning he simultaneously possesses a human body and that of the Golden Dragon King... A twelve-year-old level sixty-two Soul Emperor, this has completely exceeded the scope of the cultivation system! How on earth did he do it?"

Tang San's brain was racing.

This existence named Gu Yuan had become a massive, unfathomable mystery and an insurmountable mountain in his heart.

12 years old, level 62 Soul Emperor!

At the same age of 12, he only had a Soul Power Level of 29.

Comparing the two, the pride in Tang San's heart was instantly riddled with holes.

However, the one with the most intense reaction present was Xiao Wu.

When she saw the words "Location: Star Dou Great Forest core area," her pretty, cute face turned deathly pale in an instant, drained of all color.

Xiao Wu's body began to tremble uncontrollably, her eyes filled with extreme shock, bewilderment, and fear.

The Star Dou Great Forest core area?

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

This human named Gu Yuan... who was he? Why was he there?!

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

One question after another struck Xiao Wu's heart like heavy hammers.

What Xiao Wu feared most was not how terrifying that twelve-year-old Soul Emperor was, but...

What had happened to Daming and Erming?

Were they alright? Had her home been occupied by this human and that so-called Silver Dragon King?!

At the mere thought of this, Xiao Wu's heart felt as if it were being tightly gripped by an invisible hand, the pain so sharp she could barely breathe.
