Another Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul!

"Sign in!"

[Ding, sign-in successful. Congratulations on receiving Sign-In Coins ×1. Current remaining Sign-In Coins: 321.]

"Your sister!"

Today was the day Shrek Academy opened for the new term, but Lu Qian had never imagined that his God-Level Sign-In System would deliver a blow straight to his head.

Still, Lu Qian quickly readjusted his state of mind. After all, he had something very important to do today.

Rather than hurry to Shrek Academy, Lu Qian went to the hotel where Zhu Zhuqing was staying after breakfast, wanting to check on her situation.

When Lu Qian was told that Zhu Zhuqing had settled her bill and left early that morning, he nodded in satisfaction and even tipped the attendant a full five Gold Soul Coins.

With Zhu Zhuqing choosing to leave the hotel today, Lu Qian could think of no possibility other than her heading to Shrek Academy.

At the thought that Zhu Zhuqing would soon agree to date him, Lu Qian really did feel a little excited deep down.

Having confirmed that Zhu Zhuqing had already headed to Shrek Academy, Lu Qian stopped wasting time in Suotuo City and hurried toward Shrek Academy himself.

When he passed the Rose Hotel, Lu Qian did not see Tang San or Xiao Wu. Presumably, they had gone ahead as well.

Although Lu Qian had not scouted the route beforehand, fortunately, Shrek Academy had something of a reputation in Suotuo City. Along the way, he could still see a scattering of parents taking their children to enroll.

Unfortunately, though, very few of those children would be able to enter Shrek Academy!

After all, Shrek Academy's admission requirements really were a little outrageous: reaching Soul Power above rank twenty before the age of twelve.

Aside from monsters like Shrek, ordinary people really would struggle to meet such a requirement.

But presumably, even Dean Flender and the others would never have imagined that this year's recruitment would be so flourishing, with a full five Little Monsters meeting the requirement!

Although Lu Qian did not encounter Tang San, Xiao Wu, or Zhu Zhuqing along the way, he did encounter Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong seemed to be in a good mood as well, until she saw Lu Qian.

Ning Rongrong's impression of Lu Qian was actually fairly good. Whatever else, Lu Qian really had saved her life.

Even if Ning Rongrong had not quite grasped the situation at the time, after thinking it over later, how could she not know just how great a risk Lu Qian had taken to save her?

Ning Rongrong merely found Lu Qian's personality a little annoying, and he was also extremely greedy for money.

Yet precisely because of this, without even realizing it herself, Ning Rongrong actually found herself unable to stop thinking about someone like him!

Especially when Ning Rongrong learned that Lu Qian would also be going to Shrek Academy, a faint trace of anticipation actually stirred in her heart.

The reason Ning Rongrong was like this was largely that, back in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she had been spoiled by two Super Douluos as well as her father, the sect master. Who would dare go against her wishes?

Yet now, Lu Qian had appeared, someone who was not only greedy for money but also refused to obey Ning Rongrong!

Naturally, he would draw Ning Rongrong's particular attention.

"Lu Qian!"

Ning Rongrong could not help calling out when she saw Lu Qian.

"You again."

To temper Ning Rongrong's disposition, Lu Qian maintained his indifferent attitude.

"What, are you that impatient with me?"

"Not really."

"You're such an annoying guy."

"Come on. We might miss registration."

"Oh."

Then Ning Rongrong, who had originally been perfectly happy, followed behind Lu Qian toward Shrek Academy like a little punching bag.

Soon, Lu Qian spotted a village entrance where a large crowd had gathered, which was also Shrek Academy's registration point for new students.

A table stood at the village entrance, with an old man in his sixties sitting behind it. Lu Qian remembered that he seemed to be called Li Yusong and was a Soul Emperor.

What left Lu Qian a little speechless was that Shrek Academy's signboard really was just a piece of battered wood!

Shrek Academy's emblem was even uglier beyond belief: a greasy-green monster's head, the kind that was even uglier than Shrek the monster!

"Uh, could this be the legendary Shrek Academy?"

Ning Rongrong spoke with her eyes wide.

Clearly, Ning Rongrong did not believe this could really be Shrek Academy's location.

Lu Qian, however, said somewhat helplessly:

"This should be it."

"No way!"

Ning Rongrong's little face instantly fell. Having always lived in pampered comfort, she really was rather unwilling to accept that her intermediate Soul Master Academy would actually be in such a run-down village.

"Since we're here, we might as well settle in."

It sounded as though Lu Qian was comforting Ning Rongrong, but in reality, he was comforting himself!

Since there were still several dozen people ahead of them, Lu Qian strained his eyes to look forward, but he did not see Zhu Zhuqing.

Although Lu Qian did not see Zhu Zhuqing, he did see Dai Mubai standing beside Li Yusong.

Seemingly sensing Lu Qian's gaze, Dai Mubai instantly looked toward him as well. Their eyes met briefly before they each looked away.

Because Lu Qian had long since prepared to fight Zhao Wuji, he was not worried at all that Dai Mubai might tamper with his registration as a new student.

After all, Dai Mubai himself was certainly no match for Lu Qian. Right now, it seemed that all he could do was whisper into Zhao Wuji's ear.

Soon, Lu Qian and Ning Rongrong reached Li Yusong.

"The registration fee is ten Gold Soul Coins. Put it in that box."

Lu Qian instinctively glanced at Ning Rongrong, who widened her eyes and asked:

"What? You even spent all your registration money!"

Ning Rongrong thought Lu Qian had no money to pay the registration fee.

"Yep!"

To her surprise, Lu Qian actually nodded and admitted it outright.

"You owe me this. Remember to pay me back!"

Ning Rongrong reluctantly paid Lu Qian's registration fee of ten Gold Soul Coins for him, reminding him to repay her as she did.

But Lu Qian was secretly laughing inside. Pay her back?

Not a chance!

"Hold out one hand."

Li Yusong spoke to Lu Qian indifferently.

After squeezing Lu Qian's hand a few times, Li Yusong continued:

"Release your Martial Soul and let me see."

"Yes."

With that, Lu Qian swiftly released his Sky-Covering Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul.

"Another Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. Today really is strange! And he's even a Soul Elder!"

Upon seeing Lu Qian's purple-gold Blue Silver Grass and his three Soul Rings-yellow, yellow, and purple-even Li Yusong could not help exclaiming in amazement.

"Can I go in now?"

"Of course."

Li Yusong nodded.

"Wait for me!"

Seeing that Lu Qian was about to leave, Ning Rongrong hurriedly called out to stop him.

Then Ning Rongrong immediately released her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul.

"This, this is..."
