Xiao Xue couldn't help but complain, "How dare this trash academy? Who'd join this place if they were a normal person with over twenty Soul Power at twelve years old? Only monsters would be eager to get in."
Although Xiao Yan also thought Shrek Academy was terrible, he didn't dismiss it outright.
"Let's see, maybe there are some cultivation techniques or something."
"This trash academy?" Xiao Xue couldn't help but roll her eyes. "I don't believe it, anyway."
Xiao Xue leaned in close to Xiao Yan's ear and murmured, "If we confirm it's a scam academy, should we tear it down? Consider it ridding the world of evil. Who knows how many people it's swindled before we got here!"
Xiao Yan raised his hand and touched his nose, smiling and nodding.
He was desperately lacking opponents right now. Getting rid of a garbage academy would not only eliminate a nuisance but also allow him to fight some Soul Masters, a win-win situation.
Time ticked by. Xiao Yan's eyes were fixed on the registration area, carefully scrutinizing each person who signed up.
To be honest, this was the first time he'd seen so many young Soul Masters.
Suddenly, a girl caught Xiao Yan's attention.
This girl wasn't accompanied by her parents; she was alone.
She wore a gorgeous emerald green dress and had a head of gray-brown hair. She was a bit shorter than Xiao Xue, but still quite tall, with fair and delicate legs.
Her aura was noble and refined, making her appear like a well-educated noble girl, like a warm spring breeze.
What drew Xiao Yan's attention wasn't her appearance or demeanor, but the fact that this girl, around twelve years old, had already reached the twenty-sixth rank in Soul Power. Her talent was truly terrifying.
According to the settings of Douluo Continent, a girl with such talent would likely have incredibly powerful parents, and there was a high probability that a large family was behind her.
Focusing his senses, Xiao Yan became even more interested in the girl.
The Soul Power aura radiating from the young girl was much gentler than most, and at least two extremely faint auras were observing her.
Pushing his perception to its limit, Xiao Yan turned to look around: a Soul Saint and a Soul Emperor.
To have a Soul Saint protecting her, this girl's background must be significant.
A black-robed man hidden in the wheat field couldn't help but whisper to his companion, "Boss, that black-robed youth is staring at us. Could he have discovered us?"
The person addressed as "Boss" was clearly more composed: "The Sect Master's order is to escort the young lady to school; we don't need to concern ourselves with anything else."
Xiao Yan retracted his gaze, and a slightly crazy idea formed in his mind.
If I don't find some opponents, how can I get stronger?
After a series of tests, the young girl passed the preliminary examination without any surprises.
What surprised Xiao Yan was that Dai Mubai, who should have been resting in bed for several days, was actually eating two sausages and walking into the academy with the girl, completely unharmed.
"Sausage? Could it be a recovery-effect sausage made by a food-type Soul Master?"
Xiao Yan, who had recently been researching the Blue Silver Emperor's development towards the food type, quickly made the connection.
The remaining students had all quickly passed the old man's first test, and it was finally the turn of Xiao Yan and the other two.
At this moment, Dai Mubai, after sending off a few applicants, had also returned to Li Yusong's side.
Li Yusong looked at Xiao Yi, who hadn't made a move before. He had to admit that in his decades of life, he had seen all kinds of people, but the mysterious and ethereal temperament of the purple-haired, veiled girl in front of him was truly something he had only seen once in his life.
"Pay the registration fee and go in," Li Yusong said with a wave of his hand after just a glance.
Xiao Yan, who had been paying attention to the recovery of Dai Mubai's injuries, suddenly noticed that this guy kept looking towards the queue, as if he had seen something unbelievable.
Xiao Yan turned his head and glanced, and then understood the reason.
Dai Mubai was clearly looking at a beautiful girl in the team.
The girl had long, black hair that cascaded over her shoulders, and a figure that was incredibly voluptuous and hot, far beyond her age.
Her expression was cold, a genuine, pure coldness that emanated from within.
Her black eyes didn't even have a hint of life, which clashed somewhat with her already beautiful face. Her limbs were slender and proportionate, and she exuded a frigid, almost deathly aura that was difficult to get used to.
Twelve years old and already that… Xiao Yan wondered, confused.
What surprised Xiao Yan even more was that this girl's strength surpassed that of the girl with the influential background from earlier.
Level twenty-seven.
Such a Soul Power level was simply a genius among geniuses.
Looking at this dilapidated academy, Xiao Yan felt something extraordinary.
A rundown academy could actually recruit two such top-tier geniuses…
After paying thirty Gold Soul Coins, Xiao Yan and the other two followed Dai Mubai into the village where Shrek Academy was located.
Seeing Dai Mubai's agile limbs, Xiao Yan couldn't help but admire the sausage-food-system Soul Master's extraordinary abilities.
Based on Dai Mubai's injuries, it would have taken at least three days to recover completely, yet he was instantly healed after eating a few sausages.
Dai Mubai glanced at Xiao Xue somewhat awkwardly; he really hadn't expected this cute little girl to be so powerful.
Xiao Xue said angrily, "What are you staring at with those shifty eyes? I noticed you sneaking glances behind you just now. Are you trying to cause trouble for girls again?"
Dai Mubai quickly waved his hands, "I sensed that the girl's aura was very similar to mine, not just similar, but also complementary."
"In the world of Martial Souls, finding a Martial Soul that complements your own is incredibly difficult. But once you do, if you join forces, the strength of your Martial Souls will increase exponentially. This is what's known as a Martial Soul Fusion Skill."
"I remember your Martial Soul is the White Tiger. Based on what you just said, doesn't that girl's Martial Soul have to be a tigress?" Xiao Xue blurted out, laughing.
Dai Mubai's face showed a hint of embarrassment, and he said, "Maybe."
Xiao Yan touched his nose, he had also heard of Martial Soul Fusion Skills.
His Martial Souls were the Blue Silver Emperor and the Clear Sky Hammer. According to the attributes of his Martial Souls, a Soul Master with a plant-based Martial Soul or a tool-based Martial Soul might be able to perform a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with him, provided their attributes were compatible.
With his strength, the increase in combat power from using a Martial Soul Fusion Skill would probably be limited compared to other battle-type Soul Masters.
But if he could find a suitable support-type Soul Master, the effect of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill would be better.
However, he didn't know much about Martial Soul Fusion Skills, and he didn't know how to cultivate them. Moreover, support-type Soul Masters were extremely rare among Soul Masters. Finding a suitable one was truly too difficult.
