Get into Shrek Academy? Better to Fight Our Way In!

"A rundown academy like that—what was there to see?"

Ye Chen did not take Shrek Academy seriously.

Without Tang San, Shrek Academy would still be some unlicensed backwater school, not even qualified to operate.

The reason Shrek Academy graduates were so strong was because they only recruited top-tier geniuses.

Such top-tier geniuses would thrive in any other academy as well, perhaps becoming even stronger.

"I heard that the most accomplished student from Shrek Academy had already become an elder of Spirit Hall."

Ning Rongrong had heard those rumors, which was why she wanted to come take a look at Shrek Academy.

At Heaven Dou Royal Academy, everyone knew who Ning Rongrong was. There was always an inexplicable distance between her and everyone else.

"What Spirit Hall elder? An honorary elder at level twenty-nine?"

Ye Chen's mouth twitched.

As far as someone connected to Shrek Academy who could also be called a Spirit Hall elder went, Yu Xiaogang seemed to be the only one.

Which of the other elders was not a Titled Douluo? Shrek Academy had raised a Titled Douluo? What nonsense. If they meant an elder from a Spirit Hall branch, that was more plausible.

"Come on! Come on!"

Ning Rongrong tugged Ye Chen over to join the queue.

The two had gotten out of their carriage not far from Shrek Academy and walked the rest of the way.

"I'm not going to some backwater school, so why are you dragging me along to register?"

Ye Chen looked thoroughly disgusted.

The Body Sect had its own complete cultivation system. What the hell did Shrek Academy know about teaching?

Besides, Ye Chen possessed Twin Martial Souls. Even Yu Xiaogang had needed to visit Spirit Hall and ask Pope Bibi Dong about cultivation methods.

"Since we're already here, I just want to see how strong you really are during the assessment."

Ning Rongrong said coquettishly.

While they were in the carriage, a jolt had sent her tumbling onto Ye Chen's lap.

Only after they truly came into contact did Ning Rongrong realize that Ye Chen's bone age was not even twelve.

In other words, Ye Chen had already reached twenty-four levels of Soul Power six years ago.

Did this Big Liar already have twenty levels of Soul Power when his martial soul awakened?

"I'm only a tiny bit stronger than you."

Ye Chen gestured with his fingers, then was helplessly dragged to the registration desk.

"The two of us."

Ning Rongrong grandly took out twenty Gold Soul Coins and dropped them into the box.

If she could lure Ye Chen into attending school with her, that would surely be interesting.

There was no Ye Lingling here, no Crown Prince Xue Qinghe—only Ning Rongrong!

"I already told you, I'm not going. What could this backwater academy possibly teach me?"

"Not only does it lack a mimicry environment, it does not even qualify for the Advanced Soul Master Tournament. Brother Xue personally invited me to compete in the Soul Master Tournament."

Ye Chen spread his hands, completely ignoring Li Yusong's dark expression.

On one side were invitations from Qian Renxue and Ye Lingling; on the other was Shrek Academy, this backwater school. Was there even a choice to make?

"Just come in and have a look with me. If we're not satisfied, we'll leave."

Ning Rongrong held out her left hand.

Li Yusong squeezed her hand twice, confirming that she was under twelve years old, yet her Soul Power had already reached level twenty.

"Does your family know you came here?"

Li Yusong raised his head and asked.

She was under twelve, yet her Soul Power was already as high as level twenty-seven, and she wore elegant, luxurious clothing.

Li Yusong would never believe that she was not from a prominent family.

What was more, there was a young man beside her who seemed to have investigated Shrek Academy and had even declared that he intended to participate in the Soul Master Tournament.

Could Ye Chen already be a Soul Elder, capable of reaching the Soul Ancestor rank within two years?

"Did I pass the assessment?"

Ning Rongrong found it rather amusing.

Perhaps it was because she had eaten too many delicacies that even a roadside snack now tasted delicious.

"Ye Chen, hurry up and let them test you."

Ning Rongrong tugged at Ye Chen's arm, but this time, she could not move him.

"What is there to test? If I can't pass the assessment, then no one can."

Ye Chen was not bragging.

If a level fifty-nine control-system Soul King like him could not pass the assessment, could anyone else?

"Kid, are you looking for trouble?"

Dai Mubai's hot temper could not endure it any longer.

He had been watching Ning Rongrong with a lecherous glint in his eyes.

Especially since Ning Rongrong was so close to Ye Chen, practically begging him to take Shrek Academy's assessment, it made him deeply unhappy.

"Dai Mubai, martial soul White Tiger, level thirty-seven Battle Soul Elder. Please enlighten me."

Dai Mubai completed his Martial Soul Possession.

Two yellow and one purple Soul Ring slowly rose from beneath his feet.

Teacher Li Yusong did not stop him either, allowing Dai Mubai to teach Ye Chen a lesson.

To ordinary people, Dai Mubai's martial soul and Soul Power were both at the ceiling of what one could hope for.

"So you're a coward from the Star Luo Imperial Family, hiding out in this remote, poverty-stricken place."

When Ye Chen was eight or nine, he could already beat the current Dai Mubai senseless.

Before this guy consumed an Immortal Herb, he was nowhere near the Dai Yueheng of ten thousand years later. The two were not even comparable.

"You're fucking courting death!"

"Third soul skill, White Tiger Vajra—"

Dai Mubai flew into a rage, but that was all he managed to do.

Just as he prepared to use his third soul skill, Ye Chen had already closed in before him and kicked Dai Mubai in the chest.

Dai Mubai was immediately sent flying, blasting through the entire wooden house before finally stopping.

"Ye Chen, you're incredible!"

Ning Rongrong's eyes sparkled brightly.

She had always had a good eye. When Ye Chen was six, she had already felt that he was no ordinary person.

Otherwise, she would never have invited Ye Chen to visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. She absolutely would not admit that she had initially thought he was handsome.

"What terrifying strength!"

"No wonder he dared look down on the academy."

Tang San had fought Dai Mubai before.

He knew all too well that without using hidden weapons, there was no way he could defeat Dai Mubai.

The eight-level gap in Soul Power between them was not something that could easily be overcome.

"Kid, you dare hurt a Shrek student."

Li Yusong stretched out his right hand, and a staff "grew" from his palm.

The Dragon-Patterned Staff was dark bronze throughout, as thick as a bowl and taller than a man, its surface covered in dense dragon-scale patterns.

Whenever Soul Power flowed through it, those patterns briefly lit up with a dark red glow, like sleeping dragon hide turning over.

The staff felt slightly heavy in his grip. Both ends were fitted with bronze bands. Li Yusong held it one-handed at the center and slammed it diagonally into the ground, sending dust flying.

Immediately afterward, six Soul Rings rose beneath his feet.

The first was an eye-searing white, followed by one yellow, three purple, and one black, slowly rotating around Li Yusong's lean frame.

"Miss, stand farther back."

"Didn't you want to see Shrek Academy? Rather than testing our way in, why don't we fight our way in?"

Ye Chen shielded Ning Rongrong behind him.

Since they had come to Shrek Academy, they naturally had to stir up some trouble. After all, the Body Sect and Shrek had always been at odds!

If the Body Sect's strong came to bully people, that would be one thing. But if a twelve-year-old boy fought his way in, it could not count as bullying, right?

"Sure! Go, Ye Chen!"

Ning Rongrong feared nothing more than the world being too peaceful.

Ever since she learned that Ye Chen was under twelve, she had tossed Shrek Academy aside entirely.

Wherever Ye Chen went to school, she would go too. This guy would definitely become famous throughout the world.

"Impudent brat!"

Li Yusong held the Dragon-Patterned Staff horizontally as the first white Soul Ring beneath his feet lit up.

The dragon-pattern relief on the staff grew faintly warm, and the entire staff's texture suddenly changed. A thin layer of dim black light surfaced over its dark iron hue, as though its edge had been freshly sharpened.

He used no flashy technique. He simply thrust forward, stabbing straight at Ye Chen.
