Shrek Academy's Rewards Are This Stingy? Even Yu Xiaogang Couldn't Stand It

The next day,

All the freshmen who had passed Shrek Academy's Freshman Assessment gathered in Shrek Square, ready for the upcoming class assignments.

As the top three in the Freshman Assessment, they all received rewards from the academy.

When they needed a Soul Ring, they could make a request to the academy, which would help them obtain the Soul Ring most suited to them.

Hearing this reward, Ye Chen could not help muttering under his breath.

"Shrek Academy is seriously stingy. They said they'd train us as Core Disciples, yet all they'll do is help students obtain one Soul Ring."

"This is even more of a scam than Yu Xiaogang and Flender!"

Ten thousand years ago, when Yu Xiaogang and Flender trained Core Disciples, every Core Disciple had teachers personally lead them to obtain their Soul Rings.

Outside the Sky Screen, Yu Xiaogang and Flender did not know whether to feel happy or upset upon hearing this.

Likewise, because of this reward, many people had already begun discussing it in the chat box.

[Qiangu Dongfeng: No, they fought through such a long Freshman Assessment, and this is all the top three get? When did Shrek Academy become so stingy?]

With the talent these students possessed, at their Spirit Pagoda, they would be free to pick any soul spirit they wanted!

[Ning Rongrong: Since when is hunting a Soul Ring considered a reward?]

Ning Rongrong was practically speechless. If she lacked a Soul Ring, couldn't she just ask Grandpa Sword or Grandpa Bone?

[Hu Liena: Does Shrek Academy even know how to train students?]

Many people below chimed in. Even when clans trained their disciples, no one had ever seen anything this stingy.

A disciple like Ye Chen would have their Soul Rings and Soul Bones fully covered if they came to them!

Of course, as the top freshman, Ye Chen and the others had special rewards.

"The special reward should be a Soul Bone, unless something unexpected happens," Ye Chen guessed.

It was probably meant to curry favor with him as the top freshman.

As for having the academy help hunt a Soul Ring, Ye Chen had no interest in that.

The Soul Rings he wanted would come from Ferocious Beasts, one after another. If Mu En did not personally act, who could guarantee they could take down a Ferocious Beast?

As for Xuan Zi?

Forget it. Before he got the Soul Ring, he might end up dying at the hands of an Evil Soul Master!

It would be better to have Bibi Dong make a move!

After the rewards were announced, it was time to appoint Core Disciples and assign classes.

The first years were divided into four classes. Class One was for control-system and assault-system Soul Masters, while Class Two was for defense-system and agility-attack-system Soul Masters.

Class Three was for auxiliary-system Soul Masters, while Class Four included all sorts of special-system Soul Masters, including food-system and healing-system Soul Masters.

Class One's homeroom teacher was Wang Yan, while its assistant homeroom teacher was Zhou Yi.

As expected, Huo Yuhao was also assigned to Class One.

"Alright, everyone, return to the teaching building under the guidance of your respective homeroom teachers according to the latest class assignments. Ye Chen, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, the three of you come with me," Du Weilun said.

After arriving at Du Weilun's office, Du Weilun took out a leather pouch from his storage Soul Tool.

"This is the special reward I applied for from the academy on your behalf. Although there is only one reward, it is already the most precious prize the academy has awarded in the Freshman Assessment in at least three hundred years."

Ye Chen: "..."

If he had not seen the scene of the beast tide in the Emperor Auspicious Beast's memories, he might actually have believed him.

Wasn't it just a Soul Bone?

He made it sound so precious.

Shrek Academy probably had quite a few Soul Bones in storage, didn't it?

That official spiel really came out in one smooth set!

Du Weilun then handed the leather pouch to Ye Chen. "Alright, as for how to divide it, you can decide among yourselves."

At the same time, everyone in the Sky Screen's chat box was already having a lively discussion.

[Ning Rongrong: What do you think the special reward is?]

[Hu Liena: Do you even need to ask? It's obviously a Soul Bone. What is there to guess?]

[Qian Renxue: Given Shrek Academy's accumulation over ten thousand years, the quality of this Soul Bone should not be low, right?]

Their Spirit Hall had quite a few Soul Bones in storage. Since Shrek Academy had replaced Spirit Hall, its stockpile should not be small either.

[Qiangu Dongfeng: Don't get your hopes up too high. Given Shrek Academy's stingy habits, this Soul Bone's age won't be very high either.]

Yu Xiaogang was about to refute them when he saw them slandering Shrek Academy again, but after thinking it over, he did not know where to begin.

Because Shrek Academy really did seem a little stingy this time.

If it were him, and he encountered a disciple as exceptional as Ye Chen, he would practically pull out everything he had on him.

Inside the Sky Screen, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, who were in the office, could no longer wait.

"Class Monitor, hurry up and open it. Let's see what's inside," Xiao Xiao said excitedly.

"Alright." Ye Chen untied the cord on the leather pouch, and a mass of yellow light suddenly flew out without warning.

"This is... a Soul Bone?" Wang Dong said in surprise.

Du Weilun smiled faintly. "Didn't expect that, did you?"

Ye Chen: "..."

Ah, he had not expected it. He truly had not expected this Soul Bone to look so much like it came from a thousand-year soul beast.

Du Weilun had not noticed Ye Chen's expression yet, and he continued speaking.

"I specifically selected this Soul Bone for you. Both assault-system and control-system Soul Masters can use it."

"It is a left leg bone named the Void Magic Leopard Left Leg Bone. Fusing with it can increase a Soul Master's speed."

"At the same time, it can grant an attack skill activated through the left leg."

At this point, Du Weilun paused before continuing.

"You must also keep the matter of receiving a Soul Bone reward confidential from the academy."

Ye Chen put away the Soul Bone. Du Weilun escorted them to the door, and only then did the three leave the office.

The moment they stepped out of the office, Ye Chen directly tossed the Soul Bone into Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao's hands.

"Class Monitor, you don't want this?" Xiao Xiao asked in shock.

This was a Soul Bone! An ordinary person might never obtain even one in their entire life!

"I don't need it. You two can have it," Ye Chen said.

Even Bibi Dong in the Sea of Spirit was puzzled by Ye Chen's action.

"Little one, you don't want this Soul Bone?"

"Teacher, each person can only absorb six Soul Bones. Of course I have to choose the best ones," Ye Chen said.

"Even if I absorb Soul Bones, I'll only absorb six Soul Bones over a hundred thousand years old!"

There were so many Ferocious Beasts in this era. Gathering the soul spirits of six great Ferocious Beasts and collecting six Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones would not be difficult at all!

"Didn't Tang Hao refrain from absorbing the Blue Silver Emperor's Soul Bone because all his Soul Bone slots were full?"

"Once you absorb something like this, forcibly removing it will damage your body. Naturally, you have to be cautious!"

Hearing this, Bibi Dong thought about it and felt that he seemed to be right.

After all, her own Soul Bones were already full. Gathering a full set of Soul Bones did not seem to be very difficult indeed.

Outside the Sky Screen, Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue were both stunned when they heard Ye Chen say that he wanted to absorb six Soul Bones over a hundred thousand years old.

"No, my Angel God Armor only has six Soul Bones that are ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years old, yet you want an entire set of hundred-thousand-year Soul Bones."

"That is sheer wishful thinking!"
