Northern Suppressing General Hua Mulan's Recommendation Letter, the Idol of Female Soul Masters Across the Continent

The line moved forward slowly.

The first requirement for entering Shrek was to reach level fifteen by the age of twelve.

Although this requirement was much lower than it had been ten thousand years ago, there were always a few people in the registration line hoping to fish in troubled waters.

For example, at the registration station to Yang Lin's right.

A twelve-year-old boy was pleading desperately.

"Teacher, teacher, I'm so close to level fifteen. Give me a month, and I'll definitely reach level fifteen. Please let me into the academy."

The male teacher glanced at the soul power testing sphere, his voice cold. "No! Level fifteen means level fifteen. Even if you break through tomorrow, you still don't qualify!"

No matter what the boy said, the teacher refused to budge.

"Teacher, then my twenty Gold Soul Coins..."

"Once paid, Gold Soul Coins are nonrefundable. Next."

The boy wanted to say more, but an upper-year student standing beside the male teacher snorted coldly.

Then four Soul Rings slowly appeared beneath his feet.

It was a very standard configuration: two yellow and two purple.

"Shrek only accepts monsters. Trash doesn't deserve to enter Shrek."

In the end, the boy could only slink away.

Same old tradition, all right. No refunds on Gold Soul Coins, plus throwing their weight around.

Yang Lin grumbled inwardly.

Logically, Shrek hardly needed those few Gold Soul Coins, but they insisted on maintaining this shitty tradition.

Take the dormitories. There was only one bathroom on each floor. Could you believe that?

Shrek's dining hall didn't even have tables or chairs. Could you believe that?

They claimed it was to teach students endurance and perseverance, but it was really just extremely well-disguised psychological manipulation.

Fortunately, people in the Douluo World were fairly good at enduring hardship.

Back in his previous life, if Yang Lin's high school had been set up like this, he would have jumped long ago.

"Next."

Soon, it was Wu Liuqi's turn to register.

The teacher handling new-student registration at their station was a woman who still retained her charm.

"Name."

"Wu Liuqi."

"Where are you from?"

"Star Luo City, Star Luo Empire."

After making a brief note, the female teacher spoke again in a gentle voice:

"All right, let me see your city lord's recommendation letter."

These were easy for both Yang Lin and Wu Liuqi to obtain.

After all, their public identities were distant relatives of Hua Mulan, the Star Luo Empire's Northern Suppressing General.

Wu Liuqi took the recommendation letter out of his Storage Ring and handed it to the female teacher.

Originally, she had only intended to give it a cursory glance, but the opening words instantly glued her eyes to the page.

"Personally written by Northern Suppressing General Hua Mulan..."

The female teacher instantly raised her head in excitement, stumbling over her words. "Y-young man, what... what is your relationship with General Hua Mulan?"

This recommendation letter bore the Star Luo Empire's special seal, so it could not possibly be forged.

In all her years handling admissions, this was the first time she had seen a recommendation letter personally written by General Hua Mulan!

Who was General Hua Mulan?

She had enlisted at eighteen, and now, at twenty-four, she was already a female general whose name resounded across the continent.

Moreover, Hua Mulan possessed the greatest talent seen in a thousand years.

It was said that she had a chance of becoming a Titled Douluo before turning thirty.

Such talent! Such status! Such brilliance! Such a story of fighting her way to the top, one step at a time!

It was no exaggeration to call her the idol of every female Soul Master in the original Douluo Continent's three kingdoms.

This female teacher was no exception. She was a longtime fan of General Hua Mulan.

Wu Liuqi scratched his head and spoke somewhat awkwardly. "She's my... uh... distant aunt on my father's side, or was it my mother's..."

Once the female teacher learned that he was General Hua Mulan's relative, her words grew even warmer.

"Come, student. Let's check your bone age first, then test your soul power."

That was right. She was already calling him a student.

A member of General Hua Mulan's younger generation surely possessed considerable strength. Getting into Shrek should be no problem.

"Bone age: twelve."

The female teacher then handed him the soul power crystal sphere.

Wu Liuqi placed his hand on it.

Instantly, the crystal sphere blazed with light!

"This... level thirty-one! Good, good, good! Student, what is your martial soul?"

The female teacher was all smiles. As expected of General Hua's younger relative, he was just as much of a genius, having become a Soul Elder at twelve.

"Beautiful teacher, I have two martial souls..."

As he spoke, Wu Liuqi spread his hands. In his left was a pair of scissors, and in his right was a long purple saber.

However, the blade of that purple saber was covered in countless tightly packed cracks.

According to Yang Lin, they had come to Shrek to make a splash, to arrive with banners flying and drums beating!

There was therefore no need to hide their strength.

"A genius, a true monster!"

The female teacher excitedly slapped the desk, then addressed the male student waiting beside her:

"What are you standing there for? Hurry and notify Director Du!"

"Ah, oh, yes, teacher."

The male student had clearly been stunned by the twin martial souls as well.

He then hurried toward the academic affairs office.

Director Du Weilun had explicitly instructed them to report to him immediately whenever a true genius appeared.

At this point in time, twin martial souls were still exceedingly rare on the continent, so when Wu Liuqi displayed his twin martial souls,

Everyone waiting in the nearby lines stared at him in shock.

They had never imagined that this student, who looked like a street loafer, would possess such extraordinary talent.

Becoming a Soul Elder at twelve was one thing, but he also had twin martial souls!

He was practically guaranteed to become a Titled Douluo in the future!

Some of the more shrewd students were already planning to cozy up to him after entering the academy.

They wanted to get acquainted with this student who looked none too bright but possessed formidable strength and exceptional talent.

Quite a few people in line also turned their gazes toward Yang Lin, who stood behind Wu Liuqi.

They wanted to see what kind of talent this handsome fellow-this pretty boy-had.

If his talent was poor, he couldn't blame them for swooping down on him like a dragon to the face!

Many of the male students here came from noble families and had finally gotten the chance to dress up for an outing today.

Yet that plainly dressed pretty boy had stolen all their thunder.

This left these young masters, raised in silks and fed on delicacies, feeling extremely displeased.

Of course, if his talent was good, they would simply act as though nothing had happened.

After all, they were merely nobles, not Celestial Dragons.

They couldn't have a Titled Douluo protecting them at all times.

In the past, some nobles had relied on their status to bully Soul Masters with weak soul power.

Later, once those Soul Masters had achieved great success in cultivation, they had returned and exterminated the entire families of the nobles who had once bullied them. Such incidents had happened quite often in the original Douluo Three Kingdoms.

Thus, even nobles dared not provoke a Soul Master with immense potential.

"Next."

Wu Liuqi was already standing to the side, waiting.

Yang Lin stepped forward.

The procedure was the same as before.

The only difference was that the female teacher's eyes barely left his face.

"Another recommendation letter from General Hua... handsome young student, what is your relationship with Student Wu?"

"We grew up together."

"I see. Come, young student, let's test your soul power."

At some point, the female teacher's voice had become exceedingly soft and honeyed.

Even her tone carried a cloying sweetness.

Yang Lin placed his hand on the sphere.

Immediately, a white light even more dazzling than before flared to life!
