What Trash Thinks It Can Yap Here? Get to the Back!

As dawn broke, Ye Ming and the others packed up their tents and continued on their journey.

Along the way, Ye Ming felt that Tang Ya kept giving him strange looks. Bei Bei, meanwhile, looked like he wanted to say something but kept holding back.

He assumed the two of them were still thinking about the evil soul masters, so he did not ask.

Around noon, they arrived at Shrek City.

Led by Bei Bei, Ye Ming and the others smoothly entered the greatest academy on the Douluo Continent.

The moment they entered the academy, several enormous statues came into view.

"The one in the middle is the founder of our Shrek Academy, Flander... That blue-haired young man is the ancestor of the Tang Sect, Thousand Hands Douluo Tang San..."

Following Bei Bei's introduction, Ye Ming and the other two looked at them one by one. When they saw Xiao Wu's statue, all three of them paused.

All three were soul beasts. Gu Yuena, in particular, was the co-lord of soul beasts. They felt deeply uncomfortable with Xiao Wu sacrificing herself for a human.

The Blue Silver Emperor, Xiao Wu, the Titan Giant Ape, and the Azure Bull Python—soul beasts with cultivation exceeding one hundred thousand years—had all become the power of human soul masters, turned into butcher's blades in their hands, and used once again against soul beasts.

With several one-hundred-thousand-year soul beasts gone from the Star Dou Great Forest to deter them, who knew how many more soul beasts had become the soul rings of human soul masters.

Their camps were different, and so were their beliefs. They truly could not agree with Xiao Wu's actions.

After Bei Bei led them to the white freshman teaching building, he said, "Brother Ye Ming, you should register first. Xiao Ya and I need to report the appearance of the evil soul masters."

"We'll come find you later!"

"Lives are at stake. Brother Bei, hurry and go. We can handle the rest ourselves."

After Bei Bei and Tang Ya left, Ye Ming brought Wang Qiuer and Gu Yuena to the registration desk.

Shrek Academy had many Titled Douluo, and even Ultimate Douluo.

If they had been any other one-hundred-thousand-year soul beasts in human form, they would never have dared to come to such a place.

But the three of them were different.

Ye Ming and Wang Qiuer were Imperial Auspicious Beasts, protected by the fortune of the Star Dou Great Forest. Even standing before those Titled Douluo, they would not be detected as unusual.

As for Gu Yuena, the status of the Silver Dragon King was beyond the comprehension of those Titled Douluo.

The three of them were chatting and laughing as they waited in line when a blond figure suddenly approached with a beautiful, curvaceous girl.

He swept his gaze over Gu Yuena and Wang Qiuer, a flash of amazement passing through his eyes, before turning to Ye Ming and saying bluntly, "Kid, switch places with me."

Ye Ming did not even raise his eyelids, continuing to chat animatedly with Gu Yuena and Wang Qiuer.

Feeling that he had lost face before his female companion, the man reached out to grab Ye Ming. "Kid, you dare disrespect me, Dai Huabin? Do you believe I'll make you—"

Before his hand could even touch Ye Ming, Ye Ming struck his chest with a backhanded palm.

That palm did not contain soul power, but Ye Ming's physique was now terrifying. That single strike sent Dai Huabin flying three meters away.

Ye Ming rolled his eyes. "What trash thinks it can come here and yap? Get to the back."

Gu Yuena and Wang Qiuer burst out laughing. To Dai Huabin, that laughter sounded incomparably grating.

His female companion wanted to rush forward, but Dai Huabin stopped her.

"Zhu Lu! Don't!"

Dai Huabin got to his feet and glared fiercely at Ye Ming. "Kid, I'll remember that palm strike. Leave your name!"

"Ye Ming. You're welcome to come for revenge anytime, but remember to bring more people. Otherwise, I won't have enough fun beating you up."

Ye Ming was not bragging. One of his reasons for coming to Shrek Academy was to fight.

Only through fighting could he better accumulate combat experience.

Soul power cultivation?

Every day, he exchanged dragon qi with Wang Qiuer and Gu Yuena. His soul power improved no slower than it would in a simulated environment.

And as for Shrek Academy's teaching, what was there besides running, running with weights, and fancy variations of running?

If he were not interested in Wang Dong and that Dragon Pill that had been nourished for a hundred years, he might not even have wanted to enter this Shrek Academy, which was propped up entirely by hype.

"Ye Ming... I'll remember you!"

Gritting his teeth, Dai Huabin walked dejectedly to the back of the line with Zhu Lu supporting him.

Just then, it was Ye Ming's group's turn.

"The registration fee is ten gold soul coins per person. Pay up, then go to the side to test your bone age and soul power. No refunds after payment."

The man looked up at Ye Ming and held out his hand. "Show me your letter of recommendation first."

"What letter of recommendation?" Ye Ming looked confused.

"To enter Shrek Academy, you must have a recommendation letter from an important figure at city lord rank or above." The staff member sneered. "You don't even know that, yet you want to enter Shrek Academy?"

"Did you think just any stray cat or dog could get in here?"

His fists clenched!

Hearing those words, Ye Ming's fists really clenched.

Shrek Academy from ten thousand years ago had been known as a commoners' academy. He had assumed that talent alone was enough.

He had not expected to need some city lord's recommendation letter.

This was his own oversight. Ye Ming did not make trouble for the staff member. Instead, he directly released his three black ten-thousand-year soul rings.

"I don't have a recommendation letter. Tell me, what kind of stray cat or dog am I?"

"No recommendation letter, then get lost! Why are you still standing here wasting—huh? Ten-thousand-year soul rings?"

The staff member rubbed his eyes, his face filled with shock.

A wave of astonished cries also rose from the line behind them.

"Ten-thousand-year soul rings? No way!"

"All three soul rings are ten-thousand-year rings. Who is this guy?"

"Don't the Ten Core Theories say that a first soul ring can at most be a hundred-year ring? How did this brother do it?"

"Little brother... no, big brother!" The staff member immediately changed his attitude. "Your situation is special, and I don't dare make the decision on my own. I need to report this to the academy. Please have the three of you sit over here for a moment."

Elsewhere,

At the entrance to the freshman dormitory building, Bei Bei vividly recounted what had happened earlier in the Star Dou Great Forest to the old man lying in a recliner.

"The Holy Spirit Cult's claws are reaching farther and farther." A glint flashed through the old man's eyes. Using soul power to transmit his voice in a line toward the Sea God Pavilion, he said, "Xuan Zi, take the inspection corps to the southern part of the Star Dou Great Forest. Evil soul masters have appeared there."

In an instant, eight streaks of light shot into the sky from within the Sea God Pavilion.

At that moment, the old man slightly opened his eyes, looking somewhat surprised. "They really are three ten-thousand-year soul rings!"

"Another incredible little monster has come to Shrek! No, three of them!"

His lips moved slightly. Clearly, he was once again using soul power to transmit words to someone.

After finishing all that, the old man turned his attention back to Bei Bei and said with a smile, "Since that child saved your lives, you must remember it in your heart."

Bei Bei's expression turned solemn. "Great-grandfather Xuan, I would never dare forget Ye Ming's life-saving kindness!"

Soon, the staff member returned, a fawning smile plastered across his face.

It was no wonder he was fawning.

When he had gone to report the matter, his superiors had directly said, "Green light all the way."

After working at Shrek Academy for so long, he had never encountered anything like this.

This time, he had stumbled into a true powerhouse!

After a cursory test, the staff member hurriedly handed over three freshman badges and keys.

"Students, the three of you are in Freshman Class One. These are your freshman badges and dormitory keys."

"If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to come find me anytime!"

Ye Ming casually took them. Without wasting words with the staff member, he led Gu Yuena and Wang Qiuer inside.

After passing the white freshman teaching building and the yellow second- and third-year teaching buildings, Ye Ming immediately spotted the white six-story freshman dormitory.

The three arrived at the entrance to the dormitory building, where a very old man was seated.

The old man wore plain gray clothes. The wrinkles on his face were so deep that his eyes were nearly invisible, making him look like he was on his last legs.

Ye Ming knew that this was Shrek Academy's true top figure, a level ninety-nine assault-type Ultimate Douluo—

Dragon God Douluo, Mu En!

Whether their soul beast identities would be exposed depended on this one hurdle!
