The line moved forward in an orderly fashion, and soon it was Caelus and his group's turn.
Standing at the very front, Lan Susu took a deep breath, stepped forward, and handed the recommendation letter issued by the Star Luo City Lord to the Senior Student in charge of the review.
After taking the letter and confirming it was correct, the Senior Student gave a formulaic smile and gestured for her to place her hand on a nearby spirit tool used for testing bone age.
Lan Susu did as instructed, and the surface of the spirit tool flashed with light, displaying a clear number—eleven.
The senior's smile became a bit more genuine; clearly, people naturally tend to be more lenient towards sweet-looking girls—a classic case of "morals following aesthetics."
Next, the Senior Student took out a crystal ball-shaped spirit tool for testing Soul Power Rank.
Lan Susu gently pressed her hand against it and slowly injected her Soul Power.
The indicator light inside the crystal ball lit up rapidly, the white light climbing step by step until it finally stabilized at the twenty-seventh mark.
"Rank twenty-seven?!" The smile on the Senior Student's face was instantly replaced by surprise, and he couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.
He looked again at the petite and cute girl before him; an eleven-year-old Rank twenty-seven Spirit Grandmaster—this talent was definitely considered excellent.
However, he was professional after all and quickly regained his composure, though his attitude was clearly more solemn.
In Shrek Academy, Geniuses gathered like clouds; while an eleven-year-old Rank twenty-seven was eye-catching, it wasn't enough to cause a sensation, though she was already a strong contender for a future Inner Court Disciple.
After the Soul Power test came the basic information form, including name, age, and Martial Soul.
Lan Susu quickly finished filling it out and, guided by another Senior Student, walked to the side to wait quietly.
Next was Lan Luoluo.
As twin sisters, her test results were no surprise—bone age eleven, Soul Power Rank twenty-seven.
The Senior Student in charge of the assessment was already mentally prepared, merely confirming once more the rarity of twins and the impressive talent of this pair of sisters.
Then, it was Caelus's turn.
When Caelus stepped forward, his silver hair and outstanding temperament naturally attracted many gazes.
He calmly handed over the recommendation letter and then placed his hand on the bone age testing spirit tool.
Eleven years old.
The number was accurate.
Next, he placed his hand on the crystal ball for testing Soul Power.
As he injected his Soul Power, the indicator light inside the crystal ball suddenly flared up, its light climbing at a speed far exceeding anyone before him.
The white light was like a surging tide, instantly rushing past the boundary representing Rank twenty, and then, without losing any momentum, it easily broke through Rank thirty.
The light continued to shine upwards under the widening eyes of everyone present, finally coming to a steady stop at—
The thirty-eighth mark.
Eleven years old, a Rank thirty-eight Soul Elder!
In an instant, with Caelus at the center, the surroundings fell into a deathly silence.
Every Outer Court Disciple in charge of the assessment who saw this scene couldn't help but gasp, their faces filled with unbelievable shock, as if they were looking at some prehistoric beast.
"R... Rank thirty-eight?!"
"Are you kidding me? He's only eleven!"
"This... this is even more than Senior Brother Bei Bei was back then..."
Exclamations rose and fell, impossible to suppress.
They knew very well what this number meant.
That influential figure of the Outer Court who had just left, the thirteen-year-old Bei Bei, was only at this Rank.
Yet the boy before them was two years younger than Bei Bei; what kind of terrifying Cultivate speed was this?!
Facing the countless shocked, horrified, and inquisitive gazes from around him, Caelus only smiled slightly, his expression as calm as ever.
He had long since grown accustomed to such scenes in Star Luo City.
Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, waiting to the side, puffed out their chests proudly, sharing in the glory.
In their hearts, Brother Caelus was the best and the strongest.
Ye Guyi, who was behind Caelus in line, also took in the entire scene.
Although there was a hint of surprise in her azure eyes, it was mostly realization.
She remembered Qian Renxue's previous evaluation—"He is much more formidable than you."
She herself was already a Rank thirty-four Soul Elder, so it seemed only natural that Caelus, who was stronger than her, would have Rank thirty-eight Soul Power.
Still, reaching this level at age eleven was still somewhat beyond common sense.
Caelus didn't care about the commotion he had caused and calmly picked up a pen to start filling out his basic information form.
He knew that this was only the beginning.
In Shrek Academy, he, this overly dazzling new star, was destined to be unable to keep a low profile.
And he had no need to be low-key; he had come here for this very reason.
Just as the shock and commotion caused by Caelus had not yet fully subsided, and everyone was still processing the terrifying fact of an "eleven-year-old Rank thirty-eight Soul Elder," Ye Guyi, who was behind him, had already stepped forward.
She calmly handed over her recommendation letter.
The Senior Student in charge of the review was still immersed in the impact Caelus had made, mechanically checking the letter before gesturing for her to take the bone age test.
Eleven years old.
The result was correct.
Next was the Soul Power test.
When Ye Guyi's fair and slender palm pressed against the crystal ball, the scene that had just calmed down a bit was ignited once again.
The indicator light inside the crystal ball lit up rapidly once more, the light quickly crossing the thresholds of Rank twenty and Rank thirty, finally coming to a steady stop under the gaze of countless eyes at—
The thirty-fourth mark.
Eleven years old, a Rank thirty-four Soul Elder.
"R... Rank thirty-four?!"
"Another one?! What day is it today?!"
"My god, are the freshmen this year all monsters?!"
The crowd of onlookers and Outer Court Disciples, who had just experienced a shock, broke out into uncontrollable exclamations once again.
Although Rank thirty-four was slightly inferior to Caelus's Rank thirty-eight, an eleven-year-old Soul Elder was in itself an existence that overturned common sense and could be called a Prodigy.
For two to appear consecutively in one day, the probability was simply unheard of.
Ye Guyi acted as if she hadn't heard the exclamations or felt the various gazes around her; her azure eyes were calm, as if this astonishing result was only to be expected.
She briskly picked up a pen and filled out her basic information.
After completing the registration process, she naturally walked over to Caelus, Lan Susu, and Lan Luoluo, who were waiting for her.
Ye Guyi was proud by nature and often looked down on ordinary people, but Caelus's strength and temperament, as well as the Lan twins' impressive talent, had earned her recognition.
Coupled with the fate between them, she naturally viewed these three as friends she could interact with as equals, agreeing to enter the academy together.
Seeing that everyone was there, Caelus gave a gentle and impeccable smile to a Third Year Senior Sister in a yellow school uniform who was responsible for guiding the freshmen, and said:
"Sorry to trouble you, Senior Sister. We're all here, we can go now."}],
