Fortune Points Reach 1,000, Ready to Form a Contract?

In the original story, applying to Shrek Academy cost ten Gold Soul Coins. Most absurd of all, applicants were only eligible to join if they passed the entrance examination.

If they failed to meet the entrance requirements of being under thirteen and having reached level 25 Soul Power, the ten Gold Soul Coins would not be refunded!

Most of the people before Tianyu who were preparing to join Shrek Academy were commoners. For Soul Masters at the bottom, saving money was easier said than done.

To put it bluntly, even obtaining a white, ten-year Soul Ring was difficult. Without help from an elder in the family or a teacher from an academy, simply entering the Soul Hunting Forest was hard enough.

Let alone a hundred-year second Soul Ring. Without paying to join a Soul Hunting party, it was even harder. In fact, without Spirit Hall's subsidies, Soul Masters at the bottom really struggled to succeed!

Tianyu, who also came from the bottom ranks of Soul Masters, naturally knew how hard it was. That was why he spoke so earnestly.

"This..."

Flender hesitated. No matter how he looked at it, getting some funds for free was nice. If he didn't take them, they would just go to waste.

But seeing Tianyu's serious expression, Flender gritted his teeth and glanced at Li Yusong at the admissions desk. After signaling him with his eyes, he waved his hand.

"Old Li, give them their money back. Tell them not to come over if they aren't confident they can pass the examination!"

"I'll take the Little Monsters to find Zhao Wuji first!"

Flender spoke with some heartache. Watching the glittering Gold Soul Coins being returned hurt him more than having his flesh cut and blood drawn. The last time he had felt such pain was when he left Liu Erlong.

Tianyu: "That really did hurt!"

"Th-thank you!" A young boy beside the parent looked deeply at Tianyu and thanked him.

In no time, the people in the long line scattered and left, their saved-up Gold Soul Coins finally safe.

[Congratulations, Master. Fortune Points increased by 51!]

"Oh? So doing good deeds can increase Fortune Points too?"

"Not bad!" The corners of Tianyu's mouth curled up slightly. He then followed Flender into Shrek Academy.

Taking a closer look, there was no denying it was absurdly poor. It was called an academy, but it was really just a large village.

The paths underfoot were crooked and winding, and they hadn't even been willing to pave them with stone. Plants grew unchecked all around, and after a few steps, Tianyu even spotted a pile of cow dung!

"This is the first time I've ever come to such a shabby academy."

Ning Rongrong, who came from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, knitted her delicate brows as she rubbed her eyes and spoke.

Flender frowned slightly when he heard that. Ordinarily, he would have given her a proper, high-sounding explanation, but he had received a letter some time ago.

That letter had been written by Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

I can't scold her to her face. The power behind this young lady is too great. If I upset her and she runs home to complain, won't I, Flender, be in trouble?

Flender pushed up his glasses with his middle finger. His eyes darted around, then lit up as he came up with a good idea.

I hear this young lady is arrogant, so she probably cares about saving face. I'll let someone her own age take him down a peg!

At that thought, Flender subconsciously glanced at Tianyu. There was no denying that, among their peers, only a certain someone could deliver a dimensionality-reduction strike.

After walking for a short while, everyone caught the aroma of roasting meat. An open square came into view, with four people standing in it.

Two of them were familiar faces: Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun. Another had narrowed eyes, a rather sleazy appearance, and a face covered in whiskers.

Notably, there was a small pushcart beside him, and the aroma wafted from it.

"Oscar? So this is a Food-type Martial Soul? That whole cart is full of sausages? They really do smell good!"

Tianyu subconsciously swallowed. With a plop, the Scarlet Flame Lion also sprang out of Zhu Zhuqing's soft nest and landed on his shoulder.

"Boss Dai, you said he stole your woman? And beat you up too? Is that true?"

Oscar fired off three questions in a row. Holding a Big Sausage, he shoved it straight into Dai Mubai's mouth as he asked, clearly shocked.

After all, as he saw it, Dai Mubai's Evil Eye White Tiger Martial Soul was a top-tier Martial Soul. With equal Soul Power, how could he have lost so quickly in a one-on-one fight?

"Hey, hey, hey, watch what you're doing! You nearly shoved that Big Sausage down my throat!" Dai Mubai choked several times, nearly bringing tears to his eyes.

But Oscar was already captivated by the pure and graceful figure a short distance away.

"Who's that...?" Oscar's eyes went wide.

"What do you say? As seniors, should the three of us teach our junior a good lesson?" Dai Mubai gnashed his teeth in anger. How could he leave the grudge of having his wife stolen unavenged?

"Don't even think about it. Leave this group of Little Monsters' Fourth Trial to me, Zhao Wuji!"

A burly figure, even more muscular than Dai Mubai, chuckled and spoke excitedly.

That figure was none other than the Immovable Wisdom King, Zhao Wuji. Dai Mubai had originally been responsible for the fourth examination, but Zhao Wuji's hands had started itching, so he had taken the job for himself.

"So many Little Monsters came this time. Not bad!"

"Teacher Zhao, I was supposed to be in charge of the fourth examination..."

Dai Mubai still wanted to fight for the chance. With Ma Hongjun disrupting Tianyu and Oscar providing support, he was sure he could take fierce revenge on him!

When that happened, Zhu Zhuqing might change her mind, and he wouldn't have to be a useless husband anymore.

"Kid, settle whatever grudges you have later. Let me have some fun first!"

"Besides, the dean isn't at the academy, so I'm in charge!!!"

Zhao Wuji's voice rang out loudly. Little did he know that a swift figure had already flown up behind him, a cold sneer on his lips:

"Well, well~ Zhao Wuji, you've gotten pretty bold, haven't you?"

"Damn, Flender, when did you get back?" Zhao Wuji was drenched in sweat at once. How had this owl suddenly returned?

Damn it, those little brats, Dai Mubai and the others, hadn't said a word!

Flender had originally wanted to surprise Zhao Wuji, but as soon as he heard someone speaking ill of him, he had gone into hiding.

"Old Zhao, I'll deal with you later. What do you think of these Little Monsters? They passed the first examination and were exempted from the second and third."

"So I brought them straight to you!"

"In that case, Dean Flender, why don't Fatty, Little Ao, and I take them on together?"

"It'll be three against five, so we won't be bullying our juniors!"

Seeing that there was still room for discussion, Dai Mubai made a suggestion.

At the same time, he began planning how to launch a fierce attack on Tianyu right from the start!

But Flender shook his head slightly. After glancing at Zhao Wuji, he said solemnly, "Old Zhao, you'd better take them on!"

"These Little Monsters are unruly and defiant. We need to show them who's boss first, or they'll be hard to lead later!" Flender remarked.

Hearing that, Dai Mubai froze on the spot.

Dai Mubai: "?"

"On the surface, it's three against five, but actually it's three against one. The advantage is mine, Dean!!!"

Zhao Wuji, on the other hand, looked excited and began rubbing his fists.

"All right, leave it to me."

Meanwhile, Tianyu paid no attention to Zhao Wuji and Flender's conversation in the square, and Dai Mubai was even less worth his notice.

That was because something more important on the pink screen before him was worth exploring-

[Current Fortune Points: 1,078!]

[Search for a Contract Beast?!]

[Yes!]

[No!]
