Thinking of this.

Dai Mubai subconsciously glanced in Zhu Zhuqing's direction.

Only to find that she was still maintaining the same posture as before.

Her expression remained frosty, without the slightest change.

Yet it was precisely this appearance of hers.

That made Dai Mubai's heart pound uneasily.

After all, if Zhu Zhuqing had shot him a contemptuous look or shown anger.

At least that would have proved that Zhu Zhuqing cared about him to some extent.

But if she showed no reaction at all.

Then didn't that mean...

Thinking of this.

Dai Mubai's expression grew increasingly unsightly.

[The next day.]

[Tang San and Xiao Wu passed by a shop on their way to Shrek Academy. After some trouble, they successfully bought a rare material that could be used to make hidden weapons: Hair Crystal.]

[Not long after.]

[Tang San and Xiao Wu arrived at their destination, Shrek Academy.]

[However, upon seeing the academy's shabby signboard, they nearly thought they had come to the wrong place.]

[Shrek's admission requirements only accepted monsters.]

[As a result, many soul masters who were either over the age limit or had insufficient soul power were eliminated, while also losing ten Gold Soul Coins with no refund.]

[By the time the crowd became indignant.]

[A teacher and Dai Mubai directly displayed the strength of a Soul Emperor and a Soul Elder, successfully scaring everyone away.]

This scene made quite a few viewers frown.

Was this fucking recruitment or robbery?

Although there were Spirit Hall subsidies.

Ten Gold Soul Coins were not especially expensive for ordinary soul master families.

But accumulating that amount still took more than half a year.

Refusing admission while also refusing to refund the tuition was truly the style of a rogue academy.

Many supporters of Shrek Academy immediately clamored.

"Strength gives you the right to speak."

"The admission requirements were clearly stated in advance. What could anyone do if they insisted on giving away their money?"

"A monster academy should stand apart from the rest."

Those remarks instantly filled the ordinary soul masters around them, who were likewise born commoners, with rage.

[Soul power testing.]

[Tang San and Xiao Wu displayed their level 29 Blue Silver Grass and level 29 Soft Bone Rabbit martial souls.]

[Ning Rongrong held the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, at level 26.]

[After Ning Rongrong finished testing, Zhu Zhuqing, who had arrived last, snatched the crystal ball at a speed so fast that ordinary people could barely catch her shadow. Her aura instantly soared, and Dai Mubai stared blankly for a moment.]

[Zhu Zhuqing: level 27, martial soul: Netherworld Spirit Cat.]

[From then on.]

[The four new students entered the academy's final round of testing together.]

[Their opponent was Vice Principal Zhao Wuji, a level 76 assault-type battle Soul Sage. They needed to endure one incense stick's worth of time against him.]

[Upon hearing that their opponent was a Soul Sage.]

[They were all somewhat dumbfounded.]

[Dai Mubai was utterly helpless, saying that he was originally supposed to oversee the fourth test.]

[Perhaps there were too many new students this year, and Zhao Wuji had suddenly taken an interest.]

[Although Tang San swiftly arranged their tactics after learning everyone's martial souls and abilities.]

[Under the suppression of absolute strength.]

[Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing were quickly injured and knocked unconscious.]

[Seeing this, Tang San also went berserk, directly throwing out every usable hidden weapon from Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges, including the Dragon Whisker Needle he had bought that morning, as well as the Clear Sky Hammer.]

[Even the battle-hardened Immovable Bright King found it difficult to handle such bizarre movement techniques and attacks.]

[In the end, Tang San successfully endured one incense stick's worth of time.]

[Everyone passed the test.]

[Afterward, they met the academy's other two students: Oscar, who possessed a sausage martial soul, and Ma Hongjun, who possessed a mutated turkey martial soul.]

[At the opening assembly, Flender wanted to curb the arrogance of Ning Rongrong, the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.]

[So he unreasonably assigned her and Oscar the task of running twenty laps.]

[Ning Rongrong appeared obedient on the surface, but in reality, she ran off to go shopping the moment she left the village. After her lie was exposed, she even dared to point at Flender's nose and curse him. The little witch's true nature was fully revealed.]

[However, this was not the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.]

[No one spoiled her.]

[She even nearly got killed after deliberately provoking Dai Mubai, who had returned from the Soul Arena. Fortunately, Tang San stopped him in time, preventing a disaster.]

[After Ning Rongrong, completely isolated, experienced the darkest night of her life, much of her pride was worn away.]

[In the end, because of her unwillingness to admit defeat, she chose to remain at Shrek.]

Heaven Dou City, Shrek Academy.

Zhao Wuji pushed open the cafeteria doors and, feeling rather depressed, grabbed a bottle of wine.

Ever since the scene of him getting beaten up by Tang San and Tang Hao had appeared earlier, the people around him had been looking at him strangely, with barely concealed snickers.

At that moment, passing teachers greeted him with smiles.

"Teacher Zhao, it looked like you lost to Tang San just now..."

Zhao Wuji's eyes widened. "How can you slander my good name out of thin air?"

"What good name? We all saw it. Tang San beat you miserably. You couldn't fight back at all, and your face was swollen from the beating."

Zhao Wuji's face flushed red, the veins on his forehead bulging as he argued, "How can an assessment count as losing? An assessment! How can matters between soul masters count as losing?"

What followed was a string of incomprehensible remarks.

Things like, "That brat has no martial virtue. He secretly used the Clear Sky Hammer and even put poison in his hidden weapons." "The main thing is that I held back during the assessment. In a real fight, I'd slap him to death."

This made everyone burst into laughter.

The cafeteria was instantly filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Meanwhile, when Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi in Spirit City saw Ning Rongrong being so thoroughly isolated that she could not sleep all night, and even nearly being killed.

A trace of heartache and fury flashed through both their eyes.

They had previously only known that Flender intended to temper Ning Rongrong's spoiled temperament.

They had turned a blind eye to that matter and let it pass.

But they had never known that Dai Mubai had actually wanted to kill Ning Rongrong back then.

What a joke.

A trash who had abandoned his fiancée and fled alone after failing to compete for the throne.

How dared he speak so arrogantly?

"Heh, quite courageous for someone so young." Sword Douluo sneered coldly, casting Dai Mubai an indifferent glance.

Ning Fengzhi also remained silent for once, his expression exceedingly solemn.

Dai Mubai broke out in a cold sweat.

He had not even settled things with Zhu Zhuqing yet.

And Ning Rongrong's old score had been dragged out again.

This Heavenly Screen was truly damned.

[The next day.]

[Oscar successfully broke through to level 30, so Flender had Zhao Wuji lead the seven of them into the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for his third soul ring.]

[The moment Xiao Wu entered the forest, her mood visibly brightened.]

[She touched flowers one moment and skipped about the next.]

[As though she had returned home.]

[Seeing how relaxed she was, Zhao Wuji had wanted to scold her, but Tang San stepped in front of her. Recalling the memory of being violently beaten by Tang Hao yesterday, Zhao Wuji ultimately chose to back down.]

[Only a few hours passed.]

[Before they encountered a thousand-year Phoenix-Tailed Cockscomb Snake.]

[The group coordinated seamlessly and captured the soul beast with great ease.]

[However, the Snake Woman who had previously been pursuing the Phoenix-Tailed Cockscomb Snake arrived with her granddaughter, Meng Yiran.]

[Wary of the Immovable Bright King's strength, the Snake Woman could only yield. Tang San exchanged blows with Meng Yiran briefly and won.]

[Oscar also obtained a powerful soul skill: flight.]

[But just as everyone was immersed in joy.]

[The king of the forest, the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Titan Giant Ape, attacked.]

[Its massive body and terrifying aura instantly scared everyone present out of their wits.]

Just as Tang Chuan, Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and the others in the Black World were watching with great interest.

A golden figure suddenly crashed through the living room doors.

Howling loudly, it charged over.

It directly knocked all the fruit, snacks, tea sets, and other items on the coffee table onto the floor.

Fortunately, Lan Yin reacted quickly.

She swiftly used Blue Silver Grass to catch everything.

A small lion covered in golden fur raised her proud head.

She had a cat's nose, fox ears, dragon-like claws, and an especially adorable W-shaped mouth that made people want to give her a fierce smooch.

This little lion was undoubtedly the incarnation of auspicious fortune that carried the destiny of the soul beast clan and lived in the Star Dou Great Forest.

The Imperial Auspicious Beast!

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

(The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's human form in the Black World)

"Roar, Rongrong, has the Heavenly Screen shown this young lady's cool entrance yet?"

Ning Rongrong irritably picked up the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

"Whether it was cool or not, I don't know."

"But I do know that someone's about to get her butt spanked."
