Chang Gong Miao and Tang Weiwei

When Zhu Zhuqing's turn came, she revealed her Nether Civet Martial Soul and two yellow Soul Rings. Her Soul Power was at rank twenty-seven, just as in the original story; nothing had changed.

After giving her a casual glance, Lin Yuan turned his attention to the two newly appeared Transmigrators.

"Tang Weiwei, Martial Soul: Holy Light Cross, rank twenty-eight Auxiliary Tool Soul Master."

"Chang Gong Miao, Martial Soul: Green Tiger, rank thirty-four Assault Battle Soul Elder."

They each released their Martial Souls and Soul Rings.

Their Soul Ring Configurations were two yellow and one purple, and two yellow, respectively.

These were normal Soul Ring Configurations. Clearly, they were Transmigrators who had never read Douluo II and had never taken whale rubber.

The look Yu Tianlong gave them immediately became disdainful.

Well, well. After all that, they were just two bumpkins who had only read Douluo I. I really gave them too much credit.

Seeing Yu Tianlong look at them that way, Tang Weiwei and Chang Gong Miao's expressions darkened somewhat. Then they seemed to think of something, and, with confidence that came from who knew where, they met Yu Tianlong's gaze again without yielding an inch.

This could not help but make Yu Tianlong somewhat wary of them.

After all, Transmigrators were often favored by fate.

Powerful backgrounds and extraordinary talents were the norm. He, Long Aotian, and Dugu Jue belonged to this category.

But some possessed systems or cheats. Compared with the three of them, those Transmigrators were the most difficult to deal with.

Of course, Yu Tianlong was not afraid of them. In fact, if an opportunity arose, he would not hesitate to eliminate the two in secret.

The same reasoning applied to Dugu Jue and Long Aotian. If one day he possessed sufficient strength,

the first people he would kill would be these so-called allies who were fellow Transmigrators.

Naturally, Chang Gong Miao and Tang Weiwei did not know what Yu Tianlong was thinking. After he withdrew his gaze, they exchanged a glance, a trace of surprise flashing through both their eyes.

Clearly, before releasing their respective Martial Souls, neither had known that the other was also a Transmigrator.

At last, it was Lin Yuan's turn. He stepped forward but did not rush to pay the registration fee. Instead, he feigned a nervous expression and spoke in a voice full of apprehension:

"Um, my Soul Power is only at rank nineteen right now, but I just turned eleven. I'll definitely break through to rank twenty before I turn thirteen. Can I join?"

Li Yusong merely asked indifferently, without so much as looking at him the entire time, "What is your Martial Soul?"

"Vajra Bamboo," Lin Yuan gave the answer he had prepared long ago.

Vajra Bamboo was a Martial Soul that was considerably better than lone bamboo.

In terms of Martial Soul quality, it could just barely be considered a high-grade Martial Soul.

"No. Rules are rules, and they cannot be changed. Come back next year."

If there had not been so many geniuses this year, Li Yusong might have made an exception. But so many geniuses had already appeared, surpassing any year in Shrek's history.

One of them even had talent comparable to the deceased Meng Baichuan's. Naturally, he would not break Shrek's so-called rules again.

And this was exactly what Lin Yuan wanted.

He heaved a "despondent" sigh and was about to leave when Li Yusong's voice rang out behind him again. "Wait. Pay the registration fee before you go."

Lin Yuan nearly laughed in anger. Although things had unfolded more or less as he had anticipated, he had ultimately still underestimated Shrek Academy's shamelessness.

At that moment, there was only one thing he wanted to say inwardly: I have never seen anyone so utterly shameless.

The others watched as though no amount of trouble could spoil the show. In particular, the three Transmigrators, Yu Tianlong, Tang Weiwei, and Chang Gong Miao, even felt this was perfectly normal.

Lin Yuan turned around and feigned indignation. "But I didn't even register."

"You didn't register, but you asked me a question. As far as I'm concerned, that means you've registered. If you don't pay, hmph, hmph..."

No sooner had Li Yusong finished speaking than Dai Mubai stepped forward, looking ready to use force if Lin Yuan refused to pay.

"Fine, fine, I'll pay." Faced with Dai Mubai's "tyrannical might," Lin Yuan helplessly took a small leather pouch from the Storage Soul Tool at his waist and tossed it to Li Yusong.

Then he ran off without looking back.

Only then did Li Yusong withdraw his gaze, looking as though Lin Yuan had known what was good for him. But when he opened the pouch and reached inside, the stench of feces immediately wafted out. Almost everyone instinctively covered their noses, exclaiming at how bad it smelled.

Li Yusong's nose nearly twisted out of shape with rage. He shouted furiously, "Bastard! This is high-grade Soul Beast dung used for camping in the wilderness! Mubai, hurry up and bring that brat back!"

At those words, even a fool would have known that Lin Yuan had made a fool of Li Yusong.

Unkind smiles appeared on everyone's faces. Even Zhu Zhuqing, who was usually solemn and unsmiling, curled the corners of her lips slightly.

Clearly, none of them had expected this fellow, who was not even a Soul Grandmaster, to be such a joker, daring to prank even a Soul Emperor.

Xiao Wu was practically beside herself with delight. Unable to hold back any longer, she burst out laughing. "Haha, I'm dying! You failed to extort someone and ended up with a whole handful of Soul Beast crap instead..."

"What did you say?" Li Yusong glared at Xiao Wu.

Tang San instinctively stepped sideways, shielding Xiao Wu behind him with an air of refusing to let anyone touch her.

This enraged Li Yusong even further. Just as he was about to teach the two a lesson and show them what it meant to respect one's teachers, his pupils suddenly contracted as though he had seen a ghost, and he stopped pursuing Xiao Wu's mockery.

Instead, he vented his anger on Dai Mubai. "What are you standing there like an idiot for? Hurry up and chase him! If you don't recover the ten Gold Soul Coins for the registration fee and another hundred Gold Soul Coins for my emotional distress today, I'll put it on your tab and have the dean collect it from you!"

"Yes, Teacher Li." Ordinarily, Dai Mubai would naturally not have cared about such a small sum.

But ever since Lin Yuan had robbed him, he had been so broke that his empty pockets practically jingled.

He did not even have the money to pay the registration fee and tuition.

To enroll at Shrek, he had gone so far as to owe Shrek Academy ten Gold Soul Coins in registration fees and two consecutive years of tuition.

With the interest compounding over the years, Flender had already extorted over a thousand Gold Soul Coins from him.

As a result, during the two years after enrolling, he had even needed to borrow money from Meng Baichuan to visit brothels.

It was only because Meng Baichuan had died that his debts had died with him.

Otherwise, his life would definitely have been even harder than it was now.

So he absolutely would not let Lin Yuan get away. No matter what, he had to recover those hundred and ten Gold Soul Coins.

Not only that, he would rob the other party of everything he had.

That would replenish his utterly empty pockets.

"All right, stop standing around like idiots. Hurry up and take the second stage of the entrance examination."

Cursing and grumbling, Li Yusong urged along everyone who had just passed the first stage of the examination.
