Chapter 2 Yan Shaozhe: Such a Prodigy should rightfully enter Shrek!The ink blooming on the tabletop continuously expanded, dripping down the edge of the mahogany table onto the floor, making a faint "drip" sound.The senior female student in charge of registration looked like she had been hit by a body-immobilizing spell, staring blankly at the registration form in front of her.Xiao Yan stood quietly in place, his deep black eyes looking at the soul-less senior female student in front of him.He did not rush her, simply waiting calmly.Half a minute passed, and the senior female student still maintained the posture of her mouth wide open.Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly, raised his right hand, pressed his slender and well-proportioned index and middle fingers together, and tapped twice lightly on the wooden tabletop."Tap, tap."The crisp knocking sound was like evening drums and morning bells, instantly pulling the senior female student back from her dazed World.She gave a sudden shudder, came back to her senses, and her fair cheeks instantly flushed red.She flusteredly grabbed the rag on the table to wipe the ink, but because of tension, the more she wiped, the messier it became."S-Sorry!"Even the senior student's voice stuttered slightly, she took several deep breaths, trying to make herself look like a mature senior student, but under Xiao Yan's calm and waveless gaze, her heartbeat was still so fast it felt like it would jump out of her throat.She quickly tidied up the form on the table that she hadn't even had time to finish writing, looked up at the brother and sister, and her eyes gained an obvious trace of awe."Your situation is too special." The senior student struggled to steady her breathing,"Even for twin spirits at level thirty-five, according to the academy's rules, it exceeds the authority that ordinary Outer Courtyard students like us can directly process for admission. Let alone... level forty-six."She swallowed a mouthful of saliva, turned her head and waved at another boy in charge of enrollment next to her: "Junior, come over and keep an eye on things for me. I need to take these two new students to the Dean's Office."Just as the boy walked over, the senior student impatiently walked out from behind the table, making a gesture of invitation towards Xiao Yan and Xiao Xiao:"You two, come with me. I will take you to see the teachers of the Outer Courtyard first, and they will arrange your admission matters."Xiao Yan nodded, took Xiao Xiao's hand, and stepped forward to follow.Stepping into the gates of Shrek Academy, the hustle and bustle and mugginess were instantly isolated outside.Both sides of the wide tree-lined boulevard were planted with towering ancient trees, their dense canopies shielding the vicious sunlight, and a breeze blew, bringing the moist and fresh water vapor from Sea God Lake.Xiao Yan felt the energy in the air that was slightly richer than the outside World.The Art of Emperor Fuxi in his body operated automatically, and that endless Taiji Innate Qi flowed smoothly along the Meridians, orderly exhaling and inhaling the surrounding energy.His steps were light, and his gaze swept across the huge Shrek Seven Devils statues in the distance. There was no fanaticism and worship of a new student in his eyes, only a calmness that scrutinized history.As for Xiao Xiao, she was completely a curious baby, tightly grasping Xiao Yan's hand, turning her head left and right, her emerald-green big eyes filled with excitement.Although the senior student walking in front walked fast, every few steps she couldn't help but use the corner of her eye to peek at Xiao Yan.This youth's profile under the mottled tree shadows was simply perfect without any blind spots, and that kind of detachment as if having gone through thousands of sails should not appear on an eleven-year-old child at all.Level forty-six meant that as long as he crossed another threshold, he could become a Spirit King.You must know that many Inner Court students of Shrek were only Spirit Kings.The three of them crossed the tree-lined path and came before a group of buildings.This was the office area of the Outer Courtyard, with rows of white teaching buildings neatly arranged.The senior student led them into the main office building, walking along the spacious corridor all the way to the end of the second floor.She stopped in front of a heavy solid wood door. The doorplate read "Outer Courtyard Director of Teaching"."This is Director Du Weilun's office. Director Du is responsible for all daily affairs and new student distribution in the Outer Courtyard. He will definitely handle your situation personally."The senior student tidied her school uniform and raised her hand to knock on the door."Wait a moment."Xiao Yan called out to stop her. His gaze crossed the senior student and looked at the much larger door deeper in the corridor."Senior, you'd better take me directly to the Principal's Office."The senior student's hand suspended in mid-air froze.She turned around, looking very troubled, and explained patiently:"Junior Xiao Yan, that ahead is indeed Dean Yan Shaozhe's office. But Dean Yan is the main Dean of the Spirit Department, and he usually handles affairs in the Inner Court of Sea God Island. He might not even come to the Outer Courtyard once every ten days or half a month. Going there would just be a wasted trip.""These past few days, he is definitely here." Xiao Yan withdrew his gaze, his tone firm.The senior student looked at the youth's peerlessly handsome face. Clearly, the other party was just a newly enrolled junior, but that transcendent aura made her unable to even generate the thought of rejection.She sighed half-believingly, thinking that the worst-case scenario was just knocking on an empty door and coming back to find Director Du.She led the two to the Dean's office at the end of the corridor, took a deep breath, raised her hand, and politely knocked three times on the heavy door panel.The corridor was very quiet. The senior student pricked up her ears and waited for a moment, just about to turn around and say no one was inside."Enter."A gentle yet penetrating baritone voice came from behind the door. The voice was not loud, but it clearly rang in the ears of the three.The senior student froze in place, her eyes wide open.Dean Yan was actually really in the Outer Courtyard office!She had received far too many shocks today, so much that her brain fell into a shutdown state for a moment, and she even forgot to push the door open.Xiao Yan ignored the dazed senior student.He reached out that knuckled hand, pressed his palm against the door panel, and gently exerted force.The heavy solid wood door was slowly pushed open. He took Xiao Xiao's hand and stepped into this spacious and luxurious office.Awakening as from a dream, the senior student hurriedly followed inside with her head lowered.This office was extremely large, with three walls embedded with huge bookshelves reaching straight to the ceiling, filled with various ancient books and materials.In front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window stood a wide desk carved from a single piece of agarwood.Behind the desk sat a man.He had a head of meticulously groomed silver-gray long hair.His face looked like a middle-aged man around forty years old, with three-dimensional and handsome facial features and distinct contours. In his youth, he must have been a dashing and charming handsome man.His figure was tall and slender, wearing a luxurious white-patterned long robe, and the collar was inlaid with soft and white feathers, setting off his unrestrained and suave temperament to the extreme.This person was none other than Shrek Academy Spirit Department Dean, ninety-fifth-level Super Douluo, Yan Shaozhe.Yan Shaozhe was originally reviewing files. Hearing the footsteps, he put down the pen in his hand and raised his eyes to look.When his gaze fell on Xiao Yan walking at the very front, a trace of surprise clearly flashed in the eyes of this knowledgeable Super Douluo.He had seen countless people, but rarely saw a youth with such an outstanding temperament.His gaze swept over Xiao Yan and Xiao Xiao, his brows slightly raised, and his voice was gentle:"You two look very unfamiliar, and you don't look old either. Are you new students reporting today?"Xiao Yan stopped, his posture tall and straight, and slightly nodded towards the old man behind the desk, showing proper etiquette without being servile."Yes, Dean Yan. Furthermore, my father is Xiao Zhan."Hearing this name, Yan Shaozhe's deep eyes suddenly constricted.The hands he propped on the edge of the desk instantly loosened, and then he suddenly laughed heartily, the laughter shaking the office's floor-to-ceiling windows to hum along."Hahahaha, so that's how it is! No wonder you looked a bit familiar to me, it turns out you are the brother and sister of brother Tianding's family!"Yan Shaozhe stood up, bypassed the large desk, and strode in front of the brother and sister.He looked up and down at the two, the appreciation in his eyes undisguised.Tianding was precisely Xiao Zhan's title.Not long ago, Xiao Zhan, who had been stuck at the ninety-fourth-level Bottleneck for many years, relied on the essence of the Art of Emperor Fuxi secretly imparted by Xiao Yan to break through the shackles in one fell swoop and step into the Realm of a ninety-fifth-level Super Douluo.This Breakthrough caused quite a sensation in the upper circles of the continent.Yan Shaozhe had some friendship with Xiao Zhan in his early years. A few days ago, he received a letter from Xiao Zhan, which only mentioned that his two children would come to Shrek for admission these few days, hoping for some care and assistance.Because of this, this Dean Yan, who usually saw the head and tail of a divine dragon, miraculously stayed in the Outer Courtyard office these past few days just to wait for the arrival of this pair of brother and sister."Brother Tianding praised you two to the heavens in his letter. Seeing you today, this bearing alone far surpasses your peers."Yan Shaozhe smiled and clapped his hands, then looked at the senior student who had been shrinking in the back like a quail not daring to raise her head,"You are the student in charge of registration, right. Since they have arrived, report their registration information to me. I want to see what Brother Tianding's confidence really lies in."Hearing the Dean call her name, the senior student's body stiffened abruptly.She stepped forward and handed over the registration form that hadn't even been completely filled out with both hands, her voice trembling slightly due to excitement and tension."Rep-, report Dean Yan. New student Xiao Xiao, eleven years old. Spirits are nine-phoenix flute and three-life soul-suppressing cauldron, spirit power, level thirty-five."The smile on Yan Shaozhe's face instantly widened, his eyes full of pleasant surprise.He looked at the dainty girl hiding behind Xiao Yan and sticking out half her head, nodding repeatedly."twin spirits! And reaching level thirty-five at eleven years old! Good, very good! Brother Tianding has given birth to a good daughter. With just this talent, the courses of the Outer Courtyard are too simple for her, and the Inner Court door has already opened halfway to her!"The senior student swallowed a mouthful of saliva, forcefully suppressing the shock in her heart, and turned her gaze to the moonlight-white figure who had always been calm, her voice unconsciously raising."New student Xiao Yan, eleven years old, Spirit Fuxi Qin." She paused, as if gathering the strength to speak the last few words, "spirit power, level forty-six!""What did you say?"Yan Shaozhe's laughter came to an abrupt stop.The composure and scholarly elegance on the face of this dignified ninety-fifth-level Super Douluo collapsed in that instant.His sharp eyes suddenly widened, staring straight at Xiao Yan, his eyes filled with disbelief.Yan Shaozhe took a deep breath, his chest heaving violently.Level forty-six? Eleven years old?This could no longer be described as a Genius; it completely broke the conventional cognitive understanding of Spirit Master Cultivation, being a complete and utter monster.In the ten thousand years since Shrek Academy was founded, it had never encountered a new student with such terrifying Cultivation speed.He strode over to Xiao Yan, placing his hands heavily on Xiao Yan's shoulders.He did not deliberately probe, but relying on the perception of a Super Douluo, he could clearly sense that hidden within the body of the youth in front of him was a vast, mellow, and endless terrifying foundation of energy. That was definitely not a hollow spirit power forcibly boosted by taking medicine."Good! Good! Good!"Yan Shaozhe said three good words in a row, his eyes fanatical as if he had seen a rare and precious treasure.He turned around laughing loudly, his voice revealing unspeakable excitement:"You brother and sister, Shrek Academy accepts you! Starting today, if you encounter any problems in the Academy, you can come directly to me. I, Yan Shaozhe, will cover for you!"Having said that, he strode back behind the desk, slammed the communication device on the desktop, his tone urgent."Director Du Weilun, immediately drop everything on your hands and come to my office!"
