Chapter 16 Shocks the Underworld! The White Shrek's Dorm is This Luxurious?
Beyond the sky, a dark world.
"Zhou Yi? Is it really that Zhou Yi?"
As the name was announced from the sky, the soul masters of the underworld erupted in a frenzy, with discussions rising and falling.
What does the name Zhou Yi represent in their minds?
It represents obsession, madness, irrationality, and a cultivation level of only a six-ring Soul Emperor!
"Something's not right!"
A Soul Master from the underworld couldn't help but exclaim, his face filled with disbelief:
"Didn't you just say that Shrek Academy in the White World has extremely high entry requirements?"
"Trainee teachers need to be level 80 Soul Douluo, and full-time teachers need to be level 90 Title Douluo..."
"That old hag Zhou Yi, at best she's just a Soul Emperor, right?"
"What makes her qualified to be a homeroom teacher at this Shrek Academy?"
"Yes! That doesn't make sense!"
The people around chimed in, "Does that mean all those so-called high standards were just a lie? Does it mean that anyone with connections can get a teaching position?"
In the eyes of the underworld, Zhou Yi was the kind of person who was "mediocre in teaching ability but had an astonishingly bad temper".
In a competitive environment like the White World, where there are many strong individuals, this kind of teacher should have been eliminated in the first round. How could he possibly still be employed?
...
Outside Shrek Academy, inside a restaurant.
"Hahaha! I knew it! I knew it!"
Xuanzi slapped his thigh and laughed so hard he almost fell over, his greasy old face full of smugness.
As if he had seized upon some earth-shattering secret, he pointed at the sky and shouted, "See that? We've been exposed! Completely exposed!"
"What level 80 threshold, what god-like treatment? That's just empty boasting!"
Xuanzi's eyes were sinister, and a mocking sneer hung on the corner of his mouth: "What kind of person is Zhou Yi? Do you think I don't know?"
"But she can still work at Shrek Academy in the White World..."
"This proves that the Shrek Academy in the White World doesn't actually have that many powerful individuals!"
"Beibei and Tang Ya were just putting on an act before! Now that it's time to assign classes, they can't keep up the act anymore, so they can only drag out someone like Zhou Yi to make up the numbers!"
The more Xuanzi spoke, the more he felt he had grasped the truth. His confidence, which had been shaken by those "divine pills," began to swell rapidly again.
"It's all fake! Full of contradictions! This kind of flawed lie can only fool ignorant fools!"
However, just as Xuanzi was making his blatant mockery, dissenting voices emerged from the crowd.
"That... Elder Xuan..."
One of the slightly bolder Soul Masters timidly spoke up: "Is it possible that... Zhou Yi from that world is not quite the same as Zhou Yi from our world?"
"After all... you see, in that world you were already two hundred years old and had become a God-King. Could Zhou Yi in that world also be a hidden big shot?"
Upon hearing this, the people around were stunned for a moment.
yes!
That white world doesn't play by the rules at all!
If even Xuanzi could become a gentle and refined god-king, then it seems... not entirely impossible for Zhou Yi to become an unparalleled powerhouse.
"Hmph! Absolutely impossible!"
Xuanzi was momentarily speechless, then roared in anger and embarrassment:
"It's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature! How could Zhou Yi, with her personality, possibly become stronger?"
"No matter what world it is, trash is trash! Keep watching! I want to see how they're going to cover up this lie!"
Although she said that, a hint of panic flashed through Xuanzi's heart.
What if Zhou Yi is really that strong?
No! Absolutely not!
...
The images flowed across the sky.
[Huo Yuhao, being directly involved, was completely unaware of the allegations against the underworld.]
At this moment, he is immersed in the immense joy of being accepted.
"Great! I did it!"
Huo Yuhao clenched his fist excitedly, and cheers erupted from the other selected freshmen around him.
"Congratulations, Yuhao."
[Bei Bei smiled gently, stepped forward, and patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder: "Now that the assignments are done, let's take you to see your dorms."]
"Yes, yes, let's go see your new home!" Tang Ya exclaimed excitedly. "The dorms at our academy are really great!"
"Thank you for your help, Senior Bei Bei and Senior Tang Ya!" Huo Yuhao nodded obediently.
The three walked through the bustling square and headed back along a wide, tree-lined avenue.
Along the way, Huo Yuhao gazed at the exquisite, garden-like scenery around him, filled with admiration. But this was only the beginning.
Soon, they arrived at a magnificent complex of buildings.
"We're here. This is the freshman dormitory area," Beibei said, pointing ahead.
Huo Yuhao looked up and was immediately stunned.
In his original imagination, the dormitory would be rows of neat bungalows, or those crowded tenement buildings.
But what appeared before them were rows of uniquely designed, detached villas with exteriors that shimmered with a soft, flowing light!
"This...this is the dormitory?" Huo Yuhao stammered.
"Yes, this is the freshman dormitory." Beibei nodded matter-of-factly. "Come on, let's go find your room, number 107."
Soon, they found the apartment with the number "107" on it in this quiet area.
[Beibei took out a special card and swiped it on the door lock.]
["drop--"]
The door opened with a click.
Huo Yuhao cautiously entered the room, and when he saw the scene inside, he was completely stunned.
Spacious! Bright! Luxurious!
What comes into view is a huge living room!
The floor was covered with a soft, unidentified animal hide carpet, and the walls were adorned with soul-guided lamps capable of adjusting the light. A faint, pleasant fragrance even permeated the air, invigorating the senses.
"So big?"
Huo Yuhao stared in disbelief at the layout before him. Besides the enormous living room, there was a spacious bedroom and a separate bathroom.
"This is too luxurious..." Huo Yuhao felt like he was dreaming. "I live in such a big place all by myself?"
"This is just the basic configuration."
Tang Ya smiled and pushed open another heavy metal door. "Yuhao, look here."
As the gate opened, a surge of soul power, so dense it was almost tangible, rushed out!
Huo Yuhao looked closely and saw that the room was filled with all sorts of high-end equipment he had never seen before.
The walls were engraved with intricate spirit-gathering arrays, and in the center sat a futon emitting a soft glow. Beside it were sophisticated soul-guiding devices used to test soul power and train the body...
After witnessing this scene, Huo Yuhao was completely stunned!
...
boom!
At this moment, it wasn't just Huo Yuhao in the white world of the sky who was stunned.
Even the people in the underworld were completely dumbfounded.
They were so shocked their jaws dropped.
"This...this is a dormitory?!"
A nobleman from the Heavenly Soul Empire looked at the luxurious two-bedroom apartment in the sky and then at his own so-called mansion, and felt a sense of inferiority.
"This is bigger than my master bedroom! You live here alone?!"
"Are you crazy?! This is really only for freshmen?"
Most people, however, kept their eyes glued to that mysterious room.
"Spirit Gathering Array...increases the concentration of spiritual energy in the air..."
A sect leader's voice trembled, his eyes bloodshot: "Our sect doesn't even have a spirit-gathering array of this level!"
"That Shrek Academy from the White World actually equipped every freshman with this kind of formation?!"
"And those tools... that futon, it looks like it's made of thousand-year-old warm jade, right? That's a divine object used to aid meditation!"
"And what about those soul tools? What are they used for? I've never seen them before?"
