Here's a Chance to Enroll, Charity?

"Be more careful next time."

Zhao Wuji felt a bit helpless.

Since the girl had already apologized, what else could he say?

It wasn't as if she had done it on purpose!

Watching Ning Rongrong, Lin Ye couldn't help but grumble to himself.

Was it really a mistake? No, it was definitely intentional!

As expected of the Little Demoness, she's too ruthless!

With that palm strike, she probably already picked out a burial spot for Tang San, right?

Ning Rongrong's brow twitched a few times.

This guy!

He was complaining about her again!

She wasn't a Little Demoness at all; she was clearly a very gentle girl.

There was definitely something wrong with this guy's eyes; he was going too far.

She wanted to lose her temper, but since he hadn't said it out loud and kept such a straight face, what could she do?

The more she thought about it, the more stifled she felt.

Her mood was not beautiful at all.

Zhao Wuji walked toward Tang San, who struggled to retreat upon seeing him.

However, the sharp pain in his chest felt as if it were tearing his soul apart, causing cold sweat to pour down.

"Can you still get up?"

Zhao Wuji felt a tiny bit embarrassed.

"I... I think I can still get up."

Tang San checked the time, feeling a sense of desolation.

Only about a minute had passed, yet he had already lost the strength to continue fighting.

Did he lack the qualifications to join Shrek Academy?

Damn it!

Why could Lin Ye join, but not him?

Thinking that he might have to leave Xiao Wu's side again, his gaze dimmed and his fists clenched tightly.

Damn heavens, this is so unfair!

He couldn't even join the academy now; what was he supposed to do?

Try his luck at other academies?

At this moment, Zhao Wuji spoke up: "Ahem~ I was a bit heavy-handed just now, don't mind it."

"It's mainly because you're not very durable."

"You have no strength left to fight, but your talent is still quite excellent."

"So, I've decided to give you a chance to enroll."

Zhao Wuji said with a hearty laugh, ultimately allowing Tang San to join Shrek Academy.

He thought to himself that, after all, not everyone was as monstrous as Lin Ye.

This kid was only a Great Spirit Master around level twenty.

There would certainly be no problem with him joining the academy with that level of strength.

Besides, having beaten the boy into such a state, he definitely needed to offer some compensation.

"Th-thank you, Teacher Zhao."

Tang San's smile was uglier than his tears.

The good news was that he had joined Shrek Academy and could continue to see Xiao Wu.

The bad news was that he had been granted entry out of pity, rather than by holding out against the examiner for half an incense stick of time.

To him, this was a humiliating disgrace.

He thought of other academies; some intermediate spirit master academies had offered to waive all his tuition fees just to have him enroll.

There were even some high-level spirit master academies that had offered generous conditions.

But he hadn't agreed to any of them.

Because his teacher had told him to come to Shrek Academy.

So, he had come.

The academy's examiner had also proven that Shrek Academy was indeed very powerful; coming here to enroll had been the right choice.

It was hard to accept that they had to fight like this on their very first day.

"If you're not seriously injured, get up. We'll arrange your dorms now."

Zhao Wuji said with a hearty laugh.

Flender would surely be delighted to have five little monsters enrolling today.

The academy hadn't had this many students in a long time; it was a stroke of good fortune.

They were led to the dorms, and along the way, they didn't see anyone.

"Teacher Zhao, are there so few people in our academy?"

Ning Rongrong asked curiously.

Besides a few teachers, they hadn't seen anyone else yet.

It was deserted and quite eerie.

Zhao Wuji briefly explained the situation: including the five of them, there were now eight students in the academy.

"Eight students? Then where are the other three?"

Ning Rongrong looked around, but saw no one.

"Two are in their dorms, and the other one... cough cough, has something going on and will be back in a few days."

Zhao Wuji's expression turned strange when he mentioned this.

"Will Teacher Zhao be in charge of our cultivation from now on?"

Tang San asked, walking at the very back of the group, still clutching his chest.

Fortunately, he had the Mysterious Heaven Skill, or he wouldn't even have the strength to stand.

"That's right, I'll be responsible for your cultivation going forward."

Zhao Wuji nodded.

Currently, the academy's teaching duties largely fell on him.

There were a few other teachers responsible for instructing in other areas.

The division of labor was quite clear.

Tang San secretly rejoiced.

With such a master teaching him, combined with his teacher's theories, he was confident he could become strong quickly.

As long as he was strong enough, he could attract Xiao Wu's attention.

As for Lin Ye?

He had never taken him seriously from the start.

Just a good-for-nothing with a bit of spare cash who ate and drank all day.

He hadn't shown any cultivation over the years; he probably felt too embarrassed to show it if his level was too low.

If nothing unexpected happened, he should be level twenty-one or twenty-two, which was why he could join Shrek Academy.

For others, being level twenty-one or twenty-two at twelve years old was indeed very strong.

But for a prodigy like himself, it was nothing.

Tang San had great confidence in his own talent.

His teacher had told him that twin martial souls were extremely rare.

Moreover, he had innate full soul power.

Combined, his talent was undoubtedly top-tier on the Douluo Continent.

The dorms were quickly arranged. Lin Ye received a single room, which saved a lot of trouble.

The three girls were assigned two rooms: Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong shared one, while Zhu Zhuqing had her own.

Zhao Wuji was thoughtful and found Teacher Shao Xin to treat Tang San.

After all, he was injured.

It wouldn't be good to leave any hidden ailments if he didn't get treatment.

"You have free time for now. We'll begin unified training once the last student returns,"

Zhao Wuji said briefly. Dai Mubai's situation was difficult to handle right now.

"Why do we have to wait for the last student? Such a big deal? What did he go to do?"

Ning Rongrong didn't understand. What kind of student would make them all wait?

Zhao Wuji coughed, clearly a bit embarrassed.

"It's nothing, just some minor matters. The dean is already handling it, and he'll be back once it's resolved."

Ning Rongrong was surprised, and so was Tang San.

Even the dean was personally involved, so it must be a major issue!

However, upon hearing this, Lin Ye rolled his eyes.

[Dai Mubai was caught in the act with a married woman, injured someone when caught, and was taken in by Spirit Hall.]

[Getting out won't be easy. Dean Flender's face doesn't hold much sway with Spirit Hall.]

[It's definitely not going to be easy to bail out that old lecher!]

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing understood what was going on.

But Ning Rongrong didn't know the previous situation.

Hearing the inner thoughts at this moment, she felt disgusted.

So it was a student messing around outside and getting caught by Spirit Hall.

Well, Spirit Hall did a great job this time!

Old lechers like that should be arrested.

Otherwise, they would be in danger at the academy, they girls.

Never doubt what disgusting things an old lecher is capable of.

"Teacher, shall we get familiar with the academy surroundings first?"

Lin Ye asked. Tang San was still receiving treatment.

It seemed there was nothing else to do, so they might as well look around.

Adapting to the academy's environment would make things much more convenient later on.
