Chapter 138: Registration and Ning Rongrong
After quickly devouring a sausage, Yu Tianlin felt a warm current spread through his body, followed by a pleasant sense of fullness and comfort. The effect was probably recovery, but he was already in peak condition, his Spirit Power steady and overflowing, so he could not feel it clearly.
Chewing as he walked, Yu Tianlin headed toward Shrek Academy's gate.
When he arrived, he saw Li Yusong, the teacher who had arranged his lodging yesterday, holding a long staff. 6 Spirit Rings rotated around him, clearly showing his Spirit Emperor cultivation.
Li Yusong's cultivation was high, but his Spirit Ring configuration was not impressive, 1 white, 1 yellow, 3 purple, and 1 black. With a set like that, even a Spirit Emperor was not that terrifying. Yu Tianlin was confident he could beat him.
"Next." Li Yusong slammed his staff against the ground with a heavy thud, using the sound alone to intimidate the applicants. Then he put it away and returned to a lazy, bored posture, continuing the registration.
The long line of people scattered under his pressure, leaving only around a dozen who still looked confident.
Seeing this, Yu Tianlin walked over and greeted him. "Good morning, Teacher Li. Looks like registration will be over soon."
"Yu Tianlin, you're up?" Li Yusong heard his voice, turned around, then said to the boy in front of him, "You pass. Go in."
Dai Mubai had been standing beside Li Yusong. At first, he thought the voice sounded familiar, but Yu Tianlin had not spoken much during their fight yesterday, so Dai Mubai did not recognize it immediately.
However, when Dai Mubai turned to lead the boy who passed toward the second test location, Yu Tianlin came into view.
"What are you doing here?" Dai Mubai was startled. He never expected to see the person who had crushed him here, and even less so that Yu Tianlin seemed to belong to the academy.
"I'm here. What's it to you?" Yu Tianlin could not be bothered to explain.
"It's best that you're here." Dai Mubai's shock quickly turned into excitement. "I definitely won't lose to you again next time."
"Yu Tianlin, so that's your name. I'll remember it."
After saying that, Dai Mubai led the boy into Shrek Academy, heading toward the second assessment.
So even after losing, Dai Mubai had not lost his fighting spirit. He still wanted a rematch.
After Dai Mubai left, Li Yusong examined the second boy's bones while asking, "Yu Tianlin, what's going on? Do you know Mubai?"
"Yes." Yu Tianlin answered simply. "We met yesterday. We fought, and I won."
"Young men, full of energy, always itching to fight." Li Yusong shook his head helplessly, then gestured for the boy to release his Martial Soul.
Seeing the 2 Spirit Rings around the boy, Li Yusong nodded. "Alright, you pass too."
At this moment, Dai Mubai also turned back. His emotions were clearly calmer than before. He glanced at the sausage in Yu Tianlin's hand, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing and continued leading the applicants inside.
Next up was a girl.
She had heard Yu Tianlin and Li Yusong's conversation the whole time. After learning Yu Tianlin's name, she could not help but look him over carefully, her expression thoughtful.
"It's the same name as that legendary genius from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan that Dad always mentions. But it's probably just a coincidence."
Even Dad praised that person often, saying he would challenge the clan's status once he grew up.
How could someone like that be here, in a place this small, casually gnawing on sausages?
While she was thinking, Li Yusong called out impatiently, "You there, girl. Your turn. Don't just stand there, come over."
The girl snapped back to reality, stepped forward, dropped 10 gold spirit coins into the wooden box, and extended her right hand.
Yu Tianlin narrowed his eyes.
The girl was extremely beautiful, with very fair skin. She wore a blue green dress. Her flaxen hair was neatly combed back, held in place by a silver headband inlaid with gemstones. Her bangs were parted down the middle, and the hair at both sides was braided into delicate plaits, each fastened with a silver butterfly hairpin.
This had to be Ning Rongrong.
Yu Tianlin was not completely certain, but he was about 90% sure.
"Your age is fine." Li Yusong squeezed her hand twice, then nodded. "Release your Martial Soul."
Hearing that, the girl smiled faintly.
A dazzling 7 colored light erupted from her palm, instantly condensing into a 7 story, 7 colored pagoda about a foot tall. At the same time, 2 yellow Spirit Rings rose from beneath her feet and quietly rotated around her body.
When she released her Martial Soul, she deliberately adjusted her angle so the people behind her could not see clearly. Even so, she only revealed it for an instant before withdrawing it.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
It really was Ning Rongrong.
"Eh?" Li Yusong could not help but exclaim. "Your family agreed to let you join our academy?"
"I should have passed the first test, right?" Ning Rongrong did not answer directly, but her meaning was obvious.
Li Yusong hesitated for a rare moment. Only after Dai Mubai turned back did he say, "Alright, Mubai, take her in."
Dai Mubai had not seen the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, but that did not stop his gaze from lighting up with a predatory glint. Ning Rongrong was simply too beautiful.
Ning Rongrong frowned, disgust flashing in her eyes as Dai Mubai's wolfish gaze swept over her.
Suddenly, she pointed at Yu Tianlin. "Let him take me in."
Hearing that, Dai Mubai's lips curled, his eyes turning cold.
Li Yusong also looked surprised, but he still asked for Yu Tianlin's opinion. "Yu Tianlin, you take her in."
"No problem." Yu Tianlin did not know why Ning Rongrong suddenly chose him, but he did not refuse. "I know where the second checkpoint is. It's where I bought the sausages."
Li Yusong nodded. "Then you go in with Yu Tianlin."
