Registration, Arrogant Shrek! Lin Wu's Overwhelming Arrival!

It was Shrek Academy's enrollment day, and a queue of moderate length stretched out at the village entrance.

Quite a few parents stood with their children, pointing and whispering about the old man dozing on a bench.

At the back of the line stood two breathtakingly beautiful figures with entirely different styles.

One wore a pink-and-blue dress. Her skin was whiter than snow, and her petite, exquisite face carried a hint of pride and spoiled arrogance.

She was Ning Rongrong, the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

The other wore tight black leather that wrapped around her exceptionally voluptuous, perfect figure.

Her delicate, icy face was shrouded in frost, like a proud and aloof black orchid. She was Zhu Zhuqing.

Just as the two were waiting listlessly to register—

Scrape... scrape... scrape...

A heavy, unsettling dragging sound shattered the peaceful atmosphere at the village entrance.

Everyone instinctively turned toward the sound. The next moment, the entire place fell deathly silent!

A tall, handsome youth with an overwhelmingly domineering presence strolled forward in an exceptionally relaxed manner, dragging a pig-headed man by one ankle with a single hand.

He cruelly dragged a glaring trail of blood across the ground.

At the youth's side was a delicate, stunningly beautiful young girl whose eyes were filled with blind worship for him.

As for the one at the very back... he was a sloppy middle-aged man built like an iron tower, his darkened face radiating a murderous aura that warned strangers to stay away.

Most shocking of all was the pig-headed man being dragged across the ground like a dead dog by that youth...

He was wearing the uniform of a senior student from Shrek Academy!

"Oh my god... who is that? Isn't that Shrek's senior student?!"

"Holy shit! He was beaten so badly even his own mother wouldn't recognize him!"

"Who the hell is that kid?! He actually dared to drag a Shrek student here to cause trouble?!"

The crowd instantly erupted, cries of alarm rising one after another.

At the back of the line, Ning Rongrong slightly parted her soft lips, her beautiful eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

Meanwhile, the always cold and proud Zhu Zhuqing shuddered violently upon seeing the dead dog on the ground, beaten into a pig head and with his lower half in a rather improper state!

She recognized at a glance that the coward being dragged around like a dead dog...

Was actually Dai Mubai, the fiancé she had traveled thousands of miles to find?!

For a moment, an extremely complicated glint flashed through Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes.

She slowly raised her head, fixing her cold yet curious gaze on the calm youth ahead.

Lin Wu stopped in his tracks and casually tossed the pig-headed Dai Mubai beneath Shrek Academy's signboard.

He raised his eyes slightly, his gaze sweeping over Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing in the crowd. A deep, unfathomable wicked smile curled across his lips.

Shrek's three beauties?

Now... the real show was just beginning.

Were they ready for their grand entanglement?

Beneath Shrek Academy's dilapidated signboard, the heavy scraping sound came to an abrupt stop.

After Lin Wu casually flung him away, Dai Mubai's limp body, nearly numb with pain, rolled several times through the dirt.

By chance, he crashed directly beneath the rickety wooden archway at the village entrance.

With a dull crack, a layer of dust shook loose from the entire archway.

Within the long queue at the village entrance, the parents and youths who had been whispering moments ago now stood in dead silence.

Every gaze was focused on the youth lying on the ground, his face swollen into a pig's head and smeared with blood.

Many people instinctively took two steps back, looking at Lin Wu as though he were some peerless ferocious beast.

At this moment, Tang Hao was not following behind the two of them. Instead, he was observing from afar, with other plans in mind.

Hidden deep within the shade of the trees, Tang Hao hung high upon the branches of a flourishing ancient tree.

This Title Douluo, renowned across the continent, had secretly suppressed every trace of his aura. With his hands tucked into his sleeves, he looked down at the situation below.

A rare glint of calculation and schadenfreude flashed through his weathered, bloodshot eyes.

Brat, do you really think a Soul Sage is made of clay?

Tang Hao sneered inwardly, his rough fingers lightly rubbing the stubble on his chin.

In his view, Lin Wu's physical body was indeed bizarre, his attacks ruthless, and his schemes vicious enough to make one's blood run cold.

It was one thing for him to run rampant among his peers with the cultivation of a Soul King, but Shrek Academy was no soft target. Both Flanders and Li Yusong lurking within were genuine Soul Sages above level seventy.

A Soul King swaggering into a Soul Sage's territory, beating one of their prized students into a pig head, and tossing him at their front gate?

Wasn't that practically spitting in their faces?

When those old ghosts surround you and beat you so badly you can't tell north from south... then I'll reluctantly step in and save you.

Tang Hao snorted smugly.

As long as the brat suffered a crushing setback and ended up on the brink of death, he could descend in the guise of a "savior." Not only could he pull his daughter out of the brat's "bewitching soup" on the spot, but he could also make this arrogant little bastard owe him an enormous debt for saving his life!

Then let's see whether the brat still dared to call him "Haozi" to his face!

At that thought, the stifling resentment in Tang Hao's chest eased considerably. He shifted into a more comfortable position against the tree trunk, preparing to sit back and enjoy the show.

At the registration point below.

Lin Wu naturally could not be bothered with whatever convoluted schemes that old dumb bear in the tree was plotting.

He casually brushed the dust from his clothes, then turned to glance at Tang San, whose eyes were filled with worship. An amused curve lifted his lips.

"Xiao San."

"Go on. Pay the registration fee, then show them your hundred-thousand-year soul ring and see just how badly you can scare these ignorant bumpkins."

With both hands in his pockets, Lin Wu spoke in a light tone.

He never minded being courteous before resorting to force.

After all, if he simply tore this dump apart from the start, how could he reasonably draw the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect hiding among the crowd, as well as the nominal Crown Princess of Star Luo, into the range of his "prey"?

"Okay, Master! Xiao San will go right away!"

Tang San answered sweetly, looking obedient to the extreme.

With light steps, she walked around the twitching Dai Mubai as though no one else existed and headed straight for the registration table.

At that moment, the old man seated behind the table—Li Yusong, a teacher of Shrek Academy—was craning his neck toward the village entrance, utterly bewildered.

The huge commotion earlier, along with that heavy impact, had already alerted him.

Li Yusong waved away the dust before him in distaste. Raising his eyes to look at the petite, frail Tang San approaching him, he tapped the wooden table impatiently.

"Ten gold soul coins for the registration fee. Put them in the box."

"Listen carefully. If you're over thirteen, or your soul power hasn't reached level twenty-one, don't waste your money. Shrek only accepts monsters, not trash!"
