In suotuo city the morning was quiet
People were preparing for the rest of the day , so the streets looked pretty empty expect for few here and there
Luo feng and zhu zhuquing both got ready in the morning and had their breakfast
Then they were ready for whatever challenge they would face today
They walked side by side in comfortable silence, soon they walked out of town and towards what looked like a ...village !?
"Are you sure we are on the right path ?" Zhuquing asked
"Well when I asked the the owner of the inn he told me to come this way"
"So, basically you are telling me you don't know"
".... yes"
Zhuquing gave him a flat look, then moved forward
They walked through the village and soon reached a clearing where a small crowd had gathered I a line,in front of a dilaplated gate.
If you look carefully, you can make out that "Shrek academy" was written on it
"So, this is Shrek academy ?"there was a 'almost distrust' in her voice
She continued " I don't know what l was expecting but this was certainly not in my expectations"
Luo feng just shrugged "well we will only know after enrolling, if it doesn't meet our expectations, we could always leave "
"Fair " she nodded
Like that both of them continued along the line
Then the canon events happened someone in the line wanted refund but according to the rule the teacher in charge of the test didn't refund and he also demonstrated his strength as a soul emperor
And after that he also watched the admission of tang san and xiao wu, throughout all this zhu zhuquing seemed has gained some respect for shrek academy
Luo feng watched all this from the sidelines, not getting involved.
Actually he felt very emotional, like from his perspective,he knew tang san , his whole life,yet watching the future God king , now just a teenager.
He again felt how, this was no longer a story but real life, to him it still felt surreal
By the time Luo Feng and Zhu Zhuqing reached the front of the line, the sun had already climbed higher.
Now—
It was their turn.
Luo Feng stepped forward first.
The examiner didn't look up immediately, just extended his hand as he had done with everyone else.
"Hand."
Luo Feng placed his hand forward.
For a moment—
Nothing.
Then—
A subtle shift happened, the teacher's eyes widened a little and he looked at Luo feng with shock and growing excitement.
Then he calmed himself and asked now his voice softer "Age?"
"…Twelve."
Another brief pause , he again looked surprised
Then— with almost instantly he said "…Pass." as if afraid Luo feng might change his mind.
Luo feng stepped aside and waited for zhuquing
The teacher seemed to be in good mood so he was noticeably gentler with her and after her test , he looked like he was floating on the cloud , a noticeable grin present on his face.
After the test the teacher directed them towards a direction and told them to follow it
They began walking towards the interior of the academy looking around
To be honest, the state of the academy was pretty bad , if you just look at it, you will feel like this academy isn't very reliable.
But both of them pressed on and then passed through the venues for second and third test.
Directly towards the fourth venue, their they saw the four members of the canon Shrek seven devils standing together.
As Luo feng and zhu zhuquing approached them , they also noticed their approach and noticed it and turned.
When dai mubai turned towards zhu zhuquing, he instantly recognised her but didn't say anything, zhuquing also seem to have not expected to see mubai here and was also surprised.
But mubai quickly composed himself and said "hello, my name is dai mubai , I am your senior if you have any doubts you can come to me "
Luo feng replied "hello, my name is Luo feng , nice to meet you"
Zhuquing simply said "Zhu zhuquing"
After that dai mubai attracted their attention and said " Now that almost everyone is here. Let me explain the rules, the fourth test is that you have to survive against me for one incense of time and you will pass "
"By the way my level is 37 and martial soul 'Evil-Eyed White Tiger.' "
Just as he was about to continue a burly man with rather broad build came over towards them and said "mubai is this, the batch from this year ?"
"Yes , teacher zhao , this year we have quite a few promising candidates"
"Hahaha.... then I will personally conduct the fourth test"
Dai mubai instantly panicked " teacher zhao, how can that be , if they fight against you, they will have no chance of passing and if the principal hears about this, he will be very angry ."
Instantly black line on teacher zhao's face "brat , do you think l don't know how to hold back,if I say l will be the one testing the newcomers,then I will. Now shut up and inform them about me so that they can prepare themselves and strategize "
Dai mubai looked helpless
Xiao wu suddenly said"what is so great about him , if we work together, we will surely be able to defeat him "
Dai mubai looked at her and said " you don't understand teacher zhao isn't just any soul master he is a spirit sage , even if he is holding back,do not try to defeat him, you won't be able to just try to stall the fight and survive"
Everyone looked shocked, they couldn't believe that they will be tested by a soul sage
Mubai continued " teacher zhao's full name is zhao wuji ,a level 76 Power Attack System soul sage , martial soul Vigorous Vajra Bear, he is famously known as 'Immovable Bright King'
If you want to last the entire test l suggest you guys get to know each other and prepare a strategy or you won't last the test "
This time tang san stepped forward and said calmly" l think that's a great Idea
I will go first -
My name is tang san , level 29 , control system soul master, martial soul - blue silver grass "
Xiao wu went next
"Xiao wu, level 29 , Power Attack System soul master , martial soul - soft-bone rabbit "
"Ning rongrong, level 26 , Auxiliary System Soul Master , martial soul - Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda "
"Zhu zhuquing, level 27 , Agility-Attack System soul master, martial soul -Netherworld Spirit Cat "
"Luo feng, level 35, Agility-Attack System soul master , martial soul - ascension ring "
That got their attention,xiao wu exclaimed "level 35 , how is that possible, you look like of the same age as us !! "
"Well ,I had a good environment for training.... hahaha "the truth was as Luo feng's martial soul's attribute is darkness, his cultivation speed increases at night, that's why he reached this level so fast ....and well another reason"
"But how is a ring martial soul, a agility-attack system soul master ?"this time tang san asked a logical question.
Luo feng looked at him and said "you will see and didn't worry I can pull my waight, l won't be a burden"
With that they started to form a strategy through discussion, sometimes mubai also helped
One incense time later teacher zhao said "time's up , now let's start the test "
