The elder interrupted, "We won't give it back to you. Once you register, there's no refund. This is a rule set from the beginning, didn't you see it?"
The boy's father was infuriated inside, but there was nothing he could do, so he had to leave, feeling displeased and muttering, "Hmph, if we don't go, we don't go. I've never seen something so unreasonable. My son is a genius, and better academies are willing to take him. What are you showing off for?"
Although the boy's father was unhappy, the boy himself was quite pleased, as he wouldn't have to study at such a shabby school.
Gradually, many others who were unqualified had to leave, cursing under their breath, "No wonder you're so poor, missing out on money you could earn. Let's see how many students you can actually take in."
"My son is fourteen years old at level twenty-nine, he's a genius with two hundred-year Soul Rings, yet you don't even want my son. Hmph, once my son graduates from another academy, he'll surely outshine anyone from your Shrek."
"What a peculiar academy, just wait. In the future, when my son becomes famous, you'll regret not taking him!"
...
Many people were extremely displeased, encouraging their sons to train well at other academies and to make a name for themselves by slapping Shrek in the face in the future.
Some wanted their registration fees back, feeling that the rule was completely unreasonable, to have non-refundable registration fees.
The elder said calmly, "Mubai, someone wants a refund of the registration fee. Deal with it."
A figure flashed over, and Dai Mubai appeared, his Soul Power erupting, releasing his three Soul Rings, yellow, yellow, purple!
Dai Mubai said indifferently, "You want a refund of the registration fee? Sure, just beat me, and you can have it back."
Instantly, those who wanted their registration fees back were frightened and could only turn around and leave.
In this world, strength is the best language of authority.
"Age is suitable, release your Martial Soul."
The elder pinched the boy's hand, and the boy released his Martial Soul, a Soul Ring appeared, yellow.
The elder shook his head, "Not qualified, only level nineteen, please leave. To enter Shrek, the minimum qualifications are being under twelve years old with at least level twenty-one Soul Power."
"But, teacher, in two months my son will definitely reach level twenty-one before he turns thirteen, why not admit him now?"
"No, come back to apply once he reaches level twenty-one. Next one!"
The elder felt that this would not do, so he wanted to intimidate them a bit.
The elder's body erupted with an overwhelmingly powerful aura, causing everyone to shiver. A patterned long staff appeared in the elder's hand, with six Soul Rings descending around him.
From bottom to top, the six Soul Rings were white, yellow, purple, purple, purple, black.
Ten-year, hundred-year, thousand-year, thousand-year, thousand-year, ten-thousand-year!
Everyone was shocked; this elder, who appeared like an ordinary farmer, was unexpectedly a Soul Emperor over the sixtieth level!
Immediately, some of those unqualified didn't wait any longer, not daring to hold onto any luck, and they left directly.
Quickly, only a dozen people remained. The elder didn't seem to care at all as if having only two or three left didn't matter. They only accepted monsters; they valued quality over quantity in students.
When it was almost Ye Yu's turn among the three, Dai Mubai cast a wary glance at Ye Yu.
At the moment, a young girl was registering, all alone without any parents or companions.
The girl wore a simple white long dress, and although her back was to Ye Yu and her face couldn't be seen, her silhouette was beautiful, with a graceful figure, a slender waist, and long hair reaching to her waist.
"Did I pass?" The girl's voice was soft and melodious.
Although her face couldn't be seen, from the look in front of Dai Mubai's eyes, one could tell that the girl was a great beauty.
Dai Mubai, that guy, was just a Casanova. At this time, his eyes were no longer cold but emitted a wolf-like gleam. Of course, not a real wolf, but a lecherous wolf.
The elder was very surprised, asking, "Do your family know you're here?"
The girl didn't respond, "The academy's rules don't require me to say that, right?"
After a brief hesitation, the elder instructed Dai Mubai, "Take her inside."
Dai Mubai led the girl inside the academy to prepare for the second round of exams. By now, Ye Yu had already guessed who the girl was; excluding Zhu Zhuqing, it had to be Ning Rongrong.
Soon, after Dai Mubai returned, his eyes became fixed, staring directly at Xiao Wu's back.
Xiao Wu glanced backward, quickly understanding, and cast a disdainful eye at Dai Mubai, sarcastically saying, "Casanova."
Ye Yu looked back as well, seeing a stunning girl with a fiery figure, though her expression was exceedingly cold. Seeing her, one understood what an ice-cold beauty truly was.
Ye Yu knew she was Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing was very beautiful, with black hair and eyes, possessing stunning beauty. Her cold temperament added to her allure.
When it was Tang San and Xiao Wu's turn, the elder nodded, "Your ages meet the requirements, release your Martial Souls."
Tang San emitted a blue glow, while Xiao Wu emitted a red one.
On Tang San's right hand, the Blue Silver Grass appeared, surrounded by two Soul Rings, yellow.
Xiao Wu's cute bunny ears stood up, making her figure even more slender. Her Martial Soul, the Jade Rabbit, possessed her body, with two yellow Soul Rings.
The elder looked at the Martial Soul on Tang San's right hand and was quite astonished, "It's actually... Blue Silver Grass?"
Even as a Soul Emperor, it was quite surprising that Blue Silver Grass could be cultivated to such a degree.
"It seems there must be something extraordinary about it," the elder sighed internally and told Dai Mubai, "Take them inside."
Dai Mubai led Tang San and Xiao Wu into the academy. When it was Ye Yu's turn, Ye Yu glanced back and smiled slightly, "You go first."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded faintly and stepped forward. Ye Yu felt a delicate fragrance waft past him.
After the elder assessed Zhu Zhuqing, he nodded, "Qualified, wait aside for a while, Mubai will be back soon."
Next was the last registrant, Ye Yu.
Ye Yu stepped forward. The elder didn't know anything about Ye Yu, except the dean, Flande.
The elder pinched his bone, extremely shocked, something unprecedented.
"Such strong muscles and resilient bones."
After the shock, the elder exclaimed, "Boy, I see you have exceptional bones, different from ordinary people..."
Ye Yu interrupted the elder, feeling as if the elder was going to pull out some secret manuals next...
"Do you want to know how I train? Partly through cultivation, and partly because it's innate."
The elder nodded, putting away his surprised expression, "Release your Martial Soul."
Ye Yu nodded, raising his right hand, a black light blossomed, and a beautiful yet extremely dangerous black nine-petal Begonia appeared.
Around the Begonia, dots of black light floated, strands of black light swirling around, extremely dazzling.
At the same time, three Soul Rings descended, swirling and rotating around Ye Yu.
At this moment, Dai Mubai returned just in time, and the elder, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dai Mubai all widened their eyes in complete shock, collectively stunned!
With eyes filled with extreme astonishment, their gazes moved upward among the Soul Rings, stopping at the topmost, the third Soul Ring.
Purple, purple, black!
Thousand-year, thousand-year, ten-thousand-year!!
