The entire venue fell deathly silent. Every parent and child stood frozen in place.

No one dared speak. No one dared move recklessly.

There was only one utterly shocking thought left in everyone's minds.

Absurd!

Too absurd!

Someone could not help muttering, their voice trembling with disbelief.

"Teacher... am I seeing this right?"

"A mighty six-ring Soul Emperor... is actually just squatting here to register applicants??"

A Soul Emperor!

That was a top-tier powerhouse even across the entire continent!

At the same time, this scene was witnessed by the newly arrived Yu Xiaogang and Tang San.

Tang San's pupils contracted slightly, his heart filled with surprise.

He had listened to Master praise Shrek all the way here, and he had long been full of anticipation for this Monster Academy.

But he had never imagined that Shrek's foundations would be this terrifying.

A teacher casually assigned to admissions was actually a six-ring Soul Emperor!

At that moment, Tang San's eyes gleamed. He found this academy increasingly extraordinary and truly interesting.

His gaze swept across the crowd before quickly settling on two familiar figures.

Ao Yin, Xiao Wu!

They had actually arrived so early. Were they also here to enroll at Shrek Academy?

Six years had flown by, and things were no longer as they once were.

He was no longer that ignorant, weak child from Notting Academy.

Yu Xiaogang had put him through six years of closed-off, hellish training, causing his Soul Power to soar.

He had long since been reborn and was now more than capable of looking down on his peers!

Meanwhile, at the front of the crowd, Ao Yin stood quietly, his expression calm and composed without the slightest surprise.

After all, he knew this world's storyline inside and out.

After intimidating everyone, the uncle's six Soul Rings slowly receded into his body, and the terrifying pressure that had crushed the entire crowd instantly vanished.

He returned to his lazy, casual appearance and slowly sat back down behind the battered wooden table. Dai Mubai, standing beside him, also restrained his aura and silently stepped back behind him.

Before Teacher Li, he did not show even a trace of his usual arrogance.

"Next."

Li Yusong spoke indifferently and casually, preparing to continue admissions.

But when he looked up and saw the figure approaching from the front of the line, his eyes suddenly lit up!

A young girl in an elegant green dress walked forward. Her long black hair cascaded over her shoulders like a river of stars, soft and lustrous as it fluttered gently in the breeze. Her face was exquisitely beautiful, her brows and eyes lively, and she possessed an innate air of nobility.

Simply standing there quietly, she looked like a fairy who had stepped out of a painting.

Every gaze in the area immediately converged on her, unable to move away even slightly.

Under the attention of the entire crowd, the girl remained composed, clearly accustomed to being the center of attention.

She gave Li Yusong, seated before the table, a gentle smile. Her smile was sweet and lively, while her tone carried a hint of playful confidence.

"My name is Ning Rongrong."

"I'm here to enroll at Shrek."

"You... wouldn't refuse me, would you?"

Hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Li Yusong's face twitched slightly. Should he accept this one...?

Forget it. He would test her bone age and Soul Power first!

Within the crowd, Ao Yin's gaze lightly fell upon the girl, and he paused slightly.

Ning Rongrong!

She truly was stunningly beautiful, with a clean and refined temperament, the noble air of a great family, and lively, mischievous eyes.

Her style was entirely different from Xiao Wu's sweet liveliness, carrying a unique charm of its own.

Ao Yin withdrew his gaze and did not look further. He led Xiao Wu beside him out of the crowd.

The two walked forward side by side and politely addressed Li Yusong at the table.

"Hello, Teacher. We're also here to enroll at Shrek."

"My name is Ao Yin."

"My name is Xiao Wu."

Li Yusong had only just calmed himself and was preparing to continue admissions.

Yet just after emphasizing that Shrek only accepted monsters, three youths with outstanding temperaments and talents arrived all at once.

A flicker of surprise instantly crossed his eyes.

At last, some decent seedlings had come today!

Li Yusong did not waste any time. He immediately took out the crystal for testing bone age and Soul Power and tested the three in turn.

Ning Rongrong was tested first.

The crystal lit up with a gentle glow, and the results appeared instantly.

Looking at the results, Li Yusong slowly spoke.

"Ning Rongrong, twelve years old, Soul Power Level twenty-six. You meet Shrek's admission requirements."

This left him somewhat conflicted. After examining her more closely, he immediately guessed her origins—the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!

The foremost of the Upper Three Sects, the richest top-tier sect on the continent!

Why would the treasured daughter of such a great family lower herself to come to this remote little village and apply to this shabby Shrek Academy?

Li Yusong was both shocked and suspicious.

But on second thought, he immediately understood the key point.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's wealth was unmatched beneath the heavens.

If they could admit this little princess and nurture her properly, it would bring nothing but benefits in the future!

Even a casual bit of sponsorship would completely solve Shrek's dire funding problems.

A guaranteed profit with no losses!

Having figured this out, Li Yusong's expression softened considerably.

"Your talent is excellent."

"As long as you pass the next four rounds of assessments, you can officially enroll. Wait to the side for the results first."

"No problem."

Ning Rongrong smiled brightly and gracefully walked over to stand beside Dai Mubai.

Her appearance was exquisite, and her temperament was exceptional.

Even Dai Mubai, who was used to seeing beautiful women, could not help glancing at her a few extra times.

Ning Rongrong held her chin slightly high, her heart carrying a trace of innate pride.

She was twelve years old and already Level twenty-six!

She was the first genius in the entire venue to meet the standard!

Among her peers, she had always looked down on everyone.

In her eyes, the Shrek assessment was not difficult at all. Passing was practically guaranteed.

Seeing her somewhat proud expression, Dai Mubai lightly rubbed his nose and offered a calm reminder.

"Genius is only the threshold."

"Once you enter Shrek, you'll understand that this place lacks nothing but geniuses!"

"He is the true... monster."

Ning Rongrong immediately raised her brows, feeling faintly unconvinced.

She wanted to see what kind of freak this academy in a remote little village could produce that was worthy of being compared to her!

But in the next moment, Dai Mubai's gaze passed over Ning Rongrong and landed directly on Ao Yin and Xiao Wu.

Ning Rongrong followed his gaze and turned her head, pausing in surprise.

At that moment, Li Yusong held Ao Yin and Xiao Wu's test reports in his hands.

His formerly steady hands were actually trembling slightly.

He stared fixedly at the data on the crystal, his pupils shrinking sharply. The composure on his face vanished completely, and even his voice carried obvious excitement.

He took a deep breath and loudly announced the results to everyone!

"Ao Yin, twelve years old, Level thirty-nine Battle Soul Elder! He fully meets the admission requirements!"

"Xiao Wu, twelve years old, Level twenty-nine Soul Grandmaster! She meets the admission requirements!"

The moment his words fell, the entire venue went silent for an instant.

Li Yusong's heart pounded wildly, and his mind buzzed.

He had worked in admissions for decades, yet he had never seen data this absurd!

Especially Ao Yin!

Twelve years old! Level thirty-nine!

Most terrifying of all, the testing crystal clearly showed—

Two white ten-year Soul Rings and one hundred-year Soul Ring circled his body!

What kind of combination was that?

It was such a waste of talent!

Li Yusong muttered to himself, "Why does this feel a little abnormal?!"

Ao Yin remained calm and casually replied.

"Teacher."

"Monsters were never normal."

That short sentence struck straight at the heart of the matter!

Li Yusong shuddered, instantly enlightened!

He abruptly raised his head, his eyes bursting with brilliance as he nodded repeatedly in excitement!

"Right! Exactly!"

"Shrek only accepts monsters!"

"You... you're very monstrous!!"

Dai Mubai stood to the side, his gaze falling on Ao Yin as he suddenly chuckled and offered a reminder.

"Teacher Li, this guy's martial soul looks very similar to your Dragon-Pattern Staff!"

Li Yusong paused slightly, somewhat surprised.

Dai Mubai had a sharp eye. Since he had said so, he could not possibly be wrong.

Li Yusong immediately looked toward Ao Yin, his tone carrying a hint of anticipation.

"Child, would it be convenient for you to reveal your martial soul?"

Ao Yin did not hesitate in the slightest. With a thought, he activated it.

Buzz!

Golden light flowed, and a staff shadow tore through the air!

A long staff with an imposing aura, wrapped in nine dragon patterns, instantly appeared in his hand.

The staff was ancient and heavy, dragon patterns coiling around it. Its pressure was awe-inspiring, and its presence incomparably domineering.

"This is... the Coiling Dragon Staff!!"

Li Yusong's pupils abruptly widened. His entire body froze, and even his voice trembled uncontrollably.

Others might not understand its significance, but he understood it all too well!

His own martial soul was the Dragon-Pattern Staff. Having studied this path for decades, he knew better than anyone the differences in grade among such tool martial souls.

An ordinary Dragon-Pattern Staff only possessed faint dragon-shaped patterns, and its quality was limited.

But the one in Ao Yin's hand!

Nine dragons coiled around it, its aura naturally formed!

It was the finest and most supreme mutated form among Dragon-Pattern Staff martial souls—the Coiling Dragon Staff!

One in ten thousand, an unmatched supreme-grade martial soul!

At that moment, Li Yusong completely lost his composure.

He grabbed Ao Yin and quickly rushed to the registration table, his expression incomparably excited.

"Child! You don't need to take the first three rounds of assessments! If you can directly pass the fourth round, the combat assessment, you'll be admitted immediately!"

Twelve years old! A Level thirty-nine Battle Soul Elder!

And he possessed the supreme-grade Coiling Dragon Staff martial soul!

How was this merely a genius?

This was the top-tier monster Shrek had been desperately searching for!

In terms of talent, strength, and martial soul quality, there was practically no rival among his generation across the entire continent.

Even his Soul Power Level was nearly catching up to Dai Mubai, an established three-ring Soul Elder!

Only his Soul Rings were too strange. He needed to take the final combat assessment, or it would be difficult to convince everyone.

The entire venue instantly erupted in commotion, all eyes locking tightly onto Ao Yin.

Ning Rongrong, who had been full of pride just moments ago, suddenly widened her beautiful eyes, her face filled with disbelief.

They were both twelve years old!

She had trained painstakingly to reach only Level twenty-six.

Yet this boy before her was already Level thirty-nine?

The gap was absurdly enormous!

The sense of superiority in Ning Rongrong's heart was instantly crushed to pieces.

Ao Yin himself was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected Shrek's admission threshold to be so lenient for him.

He immediately turned to Xiao Wu beside him and asked,

"My friend..."

Li Yusong immediately picked up the conversation, his attitude crisp and decisive.

"Don't worry!"

"Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, as long as you pass the next four rounds of assessments, you will all be officially admitted!"

Xiao Wu immediately clenched her little fists, her gaze incomparably firm as she spoke in a clear voice.

"Don't worry, Brother Ao! I definitely won't hold you back. Just wait for me in the fourth-round combat assessment!"

After saying that, she walked briskly over and stopped beside Ning Rongrong.

At that moment, the entire crowd's attention was focused on Ao Yin.

The admiration, affection, and esteem in Li Yusong's eyes were practically overflowing, completely undisguised.

Ning Rongrong took in this scene in its entirety.

She instantly felt both angry and stifled.

Who was she?

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's only little princess!

A favored daughter of heaven, adored by all!

Ever since childhood, no matter where she went, she had always been the most dazzling presence there.

But today!

Everyone's gazes, all the praise, all the attention—they had all gone to Ao Yin!

No one even spared her a second glance!

Having never suffered such neglect before, Ning Rongrong immediately felt a trace of unwillingness rise in her heart, along with a bit of resentment.

Hmph!

Isn't he just a little more talented?

A sharp gleam flashed through her eyes as a peculiar desire to conquer him quietly arose in her heart.

So what if he's strong?

I'm stunningly beautiful, born into a top-tier sect, and possess endless wealth.

Sooner or later, I'll make this boy, whose eyes only see cultivation, notice me completely!

But what should I do?

Pretend to be his girlfriend, then dump him once he's captivated by my beauty and let him taste the pain of unrequited love? Or smash him with money and make him my attendant, willing to submit at my feet?

Or...

One wicked plan after another instantly sprang up in Ning Rongrong's mind!

With such thoughts in mind, Ning Rongrong raised her delicate little face and took the initiative to step forward.

Seeing Ao Yin's handsome, composed face up close, she curled her lips into a sweet, polite smile and proactively extended her hand.

"Hello, my name is Ning Rongrong. Nice to meet you!"

Ao Yin had clearly underestimated the little devil's temperament, but he still nonchalantly reached out and took Ning Rongrong's soft, boneless hand.

"Mm! Hello, I'm Ao Yin!"
