Shrek City, located in Du Weiren, is one of the largest cities in the Douluo Continent, housing millions of people.
Situated at the crossroads of various nations and backed by the Star Dou Great Forest, it serves as a core hub of the entire continent.
Huo Yuhao gazed down at the massive city, a look of awe in his eyes.
Tang Ya, like a commentator, introduced the Shrek Academy's examinations, the distinction between Martial Soul and Soul Guidance systems, and the rise and fall of the Tang Sect.
She even unconsciously revealed a hint of resentment towards Soul Guidance Devices when she was deeply moved.
After all, the Tang Sect once boasted a population of several thousand, a truly glorious era.
However, since the advent of Soul Guidance Devices four thousand years ago, when the Sun Moon Empire, armed with them, utterly defeated the original continental forces equipped with Tang Sect hidden weapons like the Zhuge Crossbow, the Tang Sect gradually declined.
"Survival of the fittest."
Wu Feng scoffed.
Their Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's warehouse still had a pile of Zhuge Crossbows and other Tang Sect hidden weapons lying around collecting dust.
"Ten thousand years ago, if it weren't for the Zhuge Crossbow given to you by my Tang Clan ancestors, could your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School have escaped the Spirit Hall's encirclement and annihilation?!" Tang Ya said indignantly.
"It was just cooperation.
Did your Tang Clan leader give us the Zhuge Crossbow for free? Even a dog would shake its head at that price.
Only our then-Sect Leader was generous enough to give your Tang Clan Leader his first funding for his rise."
Wu Feng sneered.
"And, it's the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School!"
"Tch, does your sect have anyone with the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit?" Tang Ya put her hands on her hips, not giving an inch.
"You!" Wu Feng's eyes blazed with fire.
"..."
"Alright, stop arguing."
Bei Bei's lips twitched, and she and Su Wen worked together to pull the two apart.
"Go register first."
Seeing Wu Feng's indignation, about to rush over and fight Tang Ya, Su Wen glanced at her lightly.
"Oh~"
Wu Feng hummed somewhat aggrievedly.
Shrek Academy's south, north, and west gates were all open, except for the east gate, which led directly to the academy.
At the east gate, a dozen or so second- and third-year students in light yellow uniforms with green badges were handling registration and assessment.
They would select "qualified" disciples and let them register.
No one at Shrek Academy dared to cause trouble, so the students handled it, even earning extra credits.
"Senior Bei Bei!" The boys and girls, who had been playfully teasing each other, stood up respectfully upon seeing Bei Bei.
Bei Bei, showing a hint of world-weariness, chatted with them for a few moments, then pointed at Huo Yuhao.
"Since Senior Bei Bei is leading the group, there's naturally no problem!" a boy said with a grin.
"Remember to treat us to a meal later, Senior."
When it was Su Wen's turn, the boy's expression became noticeably more reserved.
"Junior Su Wen, you're here to register too?"
Su Wen was taken aback.
"You recognize me?"
"I worked at a bubble tea shop, cough cough."
The boy scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.
"…"
After the group left,the somewhat oppressive atmosphere slowly dissipated.
Someone teased, "Archer, this junior isn't that old, but you seem like you've met a school leader, you're so nervous."
"What do you know? He's more intimidating than the school teachers. My palms were sweating just now."
The boy named Archer shrugged, his gaze fixed on the disappearing figure.
"Oh, tell us more?" Everyone curiously gathered around.
Bei Bei and the others all knew that Su Wen was one of the twin stars of the outer academy, who broke through to Soul Master at the age of thirteen and was now close to Soul Grandmaster.
His talent was undeniable, but for most of them, this was the first time they had heard the name Su Wen.
"Let me put it this way, he's the one behind all the bubble tea shops in Shrek City."
Archer said mysteriously.
"Him alone?" Everyone was taken aback.
As Shrek Academy disciples, most were born into noble families or large clans, and naturally understood these intricacies.
These days, milk tea shops were practically money-printing machines.
The few stores at Shrek Academy alone probably generated millions of gold soul coins in sales every month.
Such huge profits were bound to attract envy.
But the problem was, these stores were still thriving, and even new milk tea shops that tried to compete were suppressed and forced to close down within days.
Even their parents were curious about who was behind these milk tea shops.
It wasn't until Jubaoge took over completely that everyone realized it was someone truly from Shrek Academy.
This level of influence was different from that of the outer academy disciples.
When asked, their parents simply smiled and remained silent.
Tianche's father was one of the old nobles of the Heavenly Soul Empire.
During the summer vacation, he instructed Tianche to apply for a job at the main milk tea shop and to make sure he got along well with Su Wen, revealing some inside information he had gathered.
"What inside information? Tell us quickly!" someone urged impatiently.
He's a true inner court direct descendant.
Going to the outer court is just a formality now.
Several times when he went out to obtain soul rings, Dean Yan personally led the team.
It's said that back then, the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Guidance Department almost came to blows over him.
You know how prestigious an inner court direct descendant is.
Tianche sighed, it was just a pity that he had worked all summer and hadn't even seen a glimpse of him.
But now was an opportunity to deepen his impression.
"An inner court direct descendant."
Everyone's pupils shrank, and they gasped.
This prestige was even higher than that of an inner court disciple!
Even in the inner court, a place full of monsters, there were probably only a handful of people who could be given this title.
Perhaps he might even be the future heir of Shrek Academy.
"Outer courtyard, look what a show!"
...
Inside, in the registration room.
Du Weilun looked at the five people, especially Su Wen, his smile barely concealed.
He had been almost frantic these past two days, even taking the opportunity to go to the Soul Guidance Department to chat with Fan Yu from time to time, afraid that this precious girl would be tricked away by the Soul Guidance Department.
But fortunately, he finally saw her in the last few days.
It was still very crowded outside, with many people queuing.
But he insisted on overcoming the objections and let Su Wen and the others in first.
Although he saw some parents outside with some objections, he believed that after hearing about the talents of these people, all their objections would disappear.
"Name."
Suppressing his excitement, he first looked at the thin boy beside him, his expression much calmer.
"Huo Yuhao."
"Martial Soul."
"Spirit Eye."
Du Weilun glanced at the boy in surprise.
This Martial Soul would be a trump card if thrown into the Body Sect, but he didn't expect it to be so good for the academy.
"Cultivation level."
"Level ten, eleven."
"Huh?"
Du Weilun was taken aback, looking at Bei Bei and Tang Ya.
The latter quickly explained that they needed to use the Tang Sect's spot.
"..."
Du Weilun's lips twitched.
He glanced at the somewhat agitated parents and students outside, coughed awkwardly twice, and glared at Bei Bei—why didn't you say so earlier! The latter scratched her head awkwardly, "You didn't ask..."
