Shrek Academy Entrance Examination

Shrek City, though an affiliated city built around Shrek Academy,

was no less impressive than the capitals of the three great empires.

Why did that not include the capital of the Sun Moon Empire?

The Sun Moon Empire's soul-engineering technology far surpassed that of the three nations of the Douluo Continent.

Any large city there could be more prosperous than the capitals of the three great empires.

If not for the exchange and development of recent years,

one side might already have entered the electrical age while the other remained in the dark Middle Ages.

"Young Sect Master, we've arrived."

The man driving the carriage was an elder of the Clear Sky Sect.

A level eighty-seven Soul Douluo, his martial soul was the Clear Sky Hammer.

Besides driving, he was also responsible for protecting Bai Ran, the Young Sect Master.

Fortunately, they had encountered virtually no danger along the way.

Although the Clear Sky Sect had remained hidden from the world for a long time, legends of it still circulated throughout the continent.

Thus, with the Clear Sky Sect's exclusive Clear Sky Hammer emblem hanging from the carriage,

basically no one was willing to pick a fight.

"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Tang."

Most direct disciples of the Clear Sky Sect bore the surname Tang.

"It was no trouble, Young Sect Master. It's already late today, so let's rest in Shrek City for the night.

Tomorrow, we'll head to Shrek Academy for the entrance examination."

"Alright. I'll follow Uncle Tang's arrangements."

Shrek Academy admitted new students during a fixed period each year, rather than on a single day.

The enrollment period generally lasted half a month.

Only if that year's quota for new students was filled in advance could it end early.

Moreover, whether it was the first day of enrollment or the last, the new student registration office at Shrek Academy was always packed.

If they did not go early, they might still not reach the front of the line by the time the registration teachers got off work.

Therefore, while Bai Ran was already asleep in the hotel,

Uncle Tang had taken a stool and gone to Shrek Academy's registration office overnight to queue up for his Young Sect Master.

In truth, with the status of the Clear Sky Sect's Young Sect Master, Bai Ran could have entered Shrek directly without taking the examination.

But the First Sect Master and Second Sect Master had instructed him to keep a low profile, lest the Young Sect Master rely on his status to bully fellow students after entering the academy and develop an arrogant, overbearing temperament.

"Haki Bai, how can you sleep at a time like this?"

Just as Bai Ran was about to fall asleep,

Tang Wutong, who had been pent up inside Bai Ran all day, suddenly appeared.

As she spoke, she began shaking Bai Ran's body, trying to rouse him.

"Little Seven, what are you doing?"

Although after advancing to Soul Elder, he could already replace sleep with meditation,

how could meditation possibly be as comfortable as sleeping?

"Haki Bai, tomorrow is Shrek Academy's entrance examination. Aren't you nervous?"

"Why would I be nervous?"

"That's Shrek Academy, the number one academy on the continent. What if you fail the examination?"

There was a faint note of pride in Tang Wutong's voice.

After all, her father was one of the First-Generation Shrek Seven Monsters, and the absolute core among them.

In a sense, if she enrolled at Shrek, could Tang Wutong call her father senior the next time she saw him?

Xiao Wu: I'm so formidable, Little San. You were actually this intimate with a junior schoolgirl behind my back. What do you mean that junior schoolgirl is our daughter?

"Do you have a fever?"

Bai Ran reached out and touched Tang Wutong's forehead.

"Do you know how low Shrek Academy's admission standards are now?

As long as your Soul Power breaks through level fifteen before the age of twelve, that's enough."

Without exaggeration, anyone with Innate Soul Power above level five was qualified to apply to Shrek Academy.

In the past, even geniuses with Innate Soul Power at level seven had found it difficult to enter Shrek Academy.

Of course, successfully entering Shrek Academy did not mean one could remain there forever.

As everyone knew, Shrek Academy's elimination rate was terrifyingly high.

Every year's advancement examinations eliminated a batch of students.

Therefore, only disciples of the Inner Court truly counted as Shrek Academy's "own people."

"Is it really that low? I remember Dad saying that Soul Power had to break through level twenty-five before the age of twelve."

While in the God Realm, Tang Wutong had often pestered her father to tell her stories about the lower realm.

When he spoke of Shrek Academy, he had said that in his time, those who could enter Shrek Academy were all prodigies with Soul Power above level twenty-five.

Moreover, every one of them had Innate Soul Power of at least level eight.

There had even been three with Innate Full Soul Power.

Two of them were Tang San himself and Wutong's mother, Xiao Wu.

The other was Big Sausage Uncle.

"The past is the past, and the present is the present.

If Shrek Academy used the standards you mentioned, Little Seven, its total number of students probably would not even reach five hundred."

But now, Shrek Academy admitted more than five hundred new students every year.

"Then isn't our level thirty-one Soul Power a little too high?"

Even judging by Tang Wutong's age of eleven, becoming a Soul Elder before turning twelve was enough to send Tang San, that old wave, crashing dead on the beach.

"Nothing special."

If the quality of the Divine Bestowed Soul Ring Tang San had given him had not been so poor, and absorbing it had not failed to increase his Soul Power level by even one,

Bai Ran would at least be level thirty-five by now.

With that kind of strength, let alone among new students, he would be formidable even among second- and third-year students.
