Chapter 23 The Cruelty of the World of Shrouding the Heavens! Heavenly Court Servant!
"Her skin, her figure, are a million times better than Cuihua's!"
"And that one over there, is she a fairy?"
Dai Mubai ignored the fat man and frowned as he observed his surroundings.
Everyone here exudes a kind of aura that makes his heart flutter.
That's not soul power.
It is a purer, higher-order form of energy.
At this time.
The barrage of comments on the Douluo Continent screen also began to scroll wildly.
"Is this the world of Shrouding the Heavens? Even a random passerby looks incredibly powerful."
"Why are so many people gathered here? Is there some great opportunity?"
"Look, that's the flag of Heaven!"
In the scene, Dai Mubai stopped a passing young man, cupped his hands in greeting, and asked:
"Excuse me, sir, where is this place? What are we all waiting for?"
The young man sized them up, noticing their strange attire, but without giving it much thought, he casually replied:
"You just arrived from a remote star system, right?"
"This is the Reception Square outside the South Gate of Heaven."
"Today is the day the Heavenly Court recruits menial disciples, so everyone is here to try their luck."
Menial jobs?
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun exchanged a glance, both seeing the astonishment in each other's eyes.
The crowd was enormous, and there were even quite a few powerful individuals who appeared to possess terrifying strength.
All for the sake of vying for a menial job spot?
"Brother, you're not kidding, are you?"
Ma Hongjun couldn't help but interject, "So many people, just to sweep the floor?"
The young man looked at Ma Hongjun as if he were an idiot.
"What's wrong with sweeping?"
"That's for sweeping the floor for His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor!"
"Even a seventh-rank official is subject to the prime minister's gate, let alone the Heavenly Court that rules over all the heavens and myriad realms?"
"Even if we're feeding pigs in a zoo, they're fed holy medicine. A tiny bit of it slipping through our fingers is enough to sustain us for a lifetime!"
"If you perform well, you'll be given a Rejuvenation Pill, and becoming a saint on the spot won't be a dream!"
Upon hearing the words "Rejuvenation Pill," Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai instantly became breathless.
Qian Renxue became an 81-level Soul Douluo simply by consuming a single pill!
The astonishment in their eyes instantly turned into fervor.
"Heaven has favored us!"
Ma Hongjun rubbed his hands together, his fat face trembling.
"Boss Dai, we've stumbled into a paradise!"
"As long as we get into the Heavenly Court, even if we're just a menial servant, we can still rise to great heights!"
Dai Mubai was also in high spirits, and straightened his collar.
"Good."
"With the aptitude of us Shrek monsters, becoming a menial servant is a piece of cake, isn't it?"
"Perhaps, I might even be admitted as a formal disciple through an exception."
The viewers of Douluo Continent were filled with envy as they watched this scene.
"I want to be a handyman too!"
"I'd even be willing to empty the Heavenly Emperor's chamber pot!"
Inside Shrek Academy.
Yu Xiaogang's smile widened as he watched the screen.
"Great! A great opportunity!"
"Once you enter the Heavenly Court, even if you are a menial servant, you will have a very high starting point."
"With Mu Bai and Hong Jun's talent, they will surely stand out and become famous in the other world!"
"At that time, my name, Yu Xiaogang, might even spread throughout the heavens!"
Just as the two were still fantasizing about a bright future, a loud voice boomed across the square.
"Quiet!"
A celestial steward clad in silver armor appeared in mid-air, his gaze sharp as lightning, sweeping across the entire area.
"The Heavenly Court is recruiting, and it would rather have none than to have the wrong people."
"The assessment consists of two stages."
"The first test is the 'Asking the Heart' formation, which tests one's character."
"The second stage is the training ground, where we will test your combat skills."
"Start!"
As the words fell, a massive array rose in the center of the square, its mist swirling and obscuring everything.
"Let's go! Boss Dai, let's show these bumpkins what a real genius is!"
Ma Hongjun walked in confidently and swaggered in.
Dai Mubai followed closely behind, walking with ease.
On the Douluo Continent side, everyone was also discussing it animatedly.
"The Asking the Heart Formation? It must be some kind of illusion, right?"
"Such methods only exist in that world."
"I can't see through it, I can't see through it at all. It truly lives up to its reputation as a higher dimension."
"However, the Shrek Seven Devils all have strong willpower, so they should have no problem with this."
Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back, looking completely confident.
"I am extremely strict with them in terms of mental discipline."
"We've secured this first hurdle."
However.
He hadn't finished speaking.
Less than the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea had passed.
Two figures stumbled and staggered out of the formation in a disheveled state.
It was Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai.
The two men were pale and covered in sweat, as if they had just been pulled out of the water.
Ma Hongjun's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, his eyes still filled with terror.
The silver-armored steward in charge of the assessment merely glanced at them indifferently before shaking his head.
"He is restless, greedy, and weak-willed."
"Unqualified."
The three words struck them like a bolt from the blue.
"What?!"
Ma Hongjun instantly bristled and jumped up.
"I'm not qualified?"
"I possess the Phoenix Martial Soul! I'm a genius!"
"Is your broken formation damaged?"
Dai Mubai's expression was also grim. He stepped forward and said in a deep voice:
"Sir, is there some misunderstanding?"
"In our original world, we were the cream of the crop among the younger generation..."
"Noisy."
The silver-armored deacon frowned slightly, his eyes suddenly becoming deep and unfathomable.
There was no movement, just a glance.
Boom!
A palpable killing intent instantly enveloped the two of them.
In that instant, Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai felt as if they were surrounded by mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Images of countless gods and demons falling flashed through their minds.
The breath of death gripped their throats.
Thump!
Ma Hongjun was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, his crotch area becoming wet.
Dai Mubai was also stiff all over and unable to move, with cold sweat dripping down his chin.
It was only at this moment that they suddenly awoke.
This is not Douluo Continent.
This is the world of Shrouding the Heavens!
It's a cruel world where even Soul Saint Han Yu was worked to death and his corpse was fed to the dogs!
That fear, which came from the depths of their souls, made them afraid to utter another word.
The Douluo Continent was utterly silent.
Everyone looking at the sky felt a burning sensation on their faces.
"You...peed your pants from fear?"
"How embarrassing! So embarrassing!"
"This is what they call a Shrek genius? He can't even handle a single glance from someone?"
On Shrek Academy's side, everyone's expressions were extremely grim.
Oscar's mouth dropped open, and he didn't know what to say.
Tang San frowned, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
Yu Xiaogang felt as if he had been slapped hard across the face, and the pain was burning.
But he still forced himself to save face and gritted his teeth, saying:
"This...this is just a test of character."
"The standards in that world are just a bit different."
"There's a second level!"
"As long as we perform well in actual combat, we will definitely impress the Heavenly Court!"
"After all, combat is the foundation of a Soul Master!"
