Chapter 18 The Warmongers
In his previous life, Tang San was an outer disciple of the Tang Clan. He offended the Tang Clan's higher-ups by secretly learning inner sect techniques and was thus ostracized by the Tang Clan.
On the day before his death, he was relentlessly pursued by a group of elders. In the end, with a resolute heart, he jumped off a cliff to prove his determination, and was then reincarnated in the Douluo Continent.
During his time in the Tang Sect, Tang San learned early on how to conceal his talents.
He spared no expense in order to steal many of the Tang Clan's unique skills.
He acquired all the unique skills that countless Tang Clan disciples dreamed of, such as "Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record", "Ghost Shadow Mystery", "Purple Extreme Demon Eye", "Controlling Crane and Capturing Dragon", "Mysterious Jade Hand", and "One Hundred Solutions to Hidden Weapons".
After the soul power test was over, Tang San casually tossed the testing crystal to Xiao Wu, indicating that she should also test her soul power.
Surprisingly, Xiao Wu's situation was exactly the same as Tang San's; her soul power had also reached level twenty-nine.
Xiao Wu was originally a soul beast, the Soft Bone Rabbit, who had cultivated for 100,000 years. After being reborn as a human, she was tall and slender with a sweet and lovely appearance, just like a fairy who had stepped out of a painting.
She has unique food preferences, adoring carrots and utterly disliking white radishes.
She is straightforward and honest, with a naive and innocent nature that also reveals her intelligence and wit.
Upon seeing this, the trainees who were taking the exam exclaimed in unison, "My God, another one has reached level 29! What's going on?"
"I think I should be able to skip the second and third rounds as well."
Just then, Ning Rongrong gracefully walked over.
She gently held the testing crystal in her hands, and in an instant, the crystal shone brightly, clearly displaying her soul power level as level twenty-six.
"brush!"
A dark shadow flashed by like lightning, and Zhu Zhuqing appeared before everyone in an instant, snatching the testing crystal ball away.
She firmly placed her hands on the crystal ball, channeling her soul power. The crystal ball shimmered with light, displaying a soul power level of twenty-seven.
"Huh? This...this..."
The trainees stared at each other in disbelief, frozen in place as if under a spell, their faces filled with astonishment and disbelief.
"So, two level 29, one level 26, and one level 27, do you have any other objections?"
Dai Mubai crossed his arms, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said.
At this moment, Tang San suddenly turned his gaze to Dugu Zhan, and Xiao Wu and the others also turned their gazes to Dugu Zhan.
Dugu Zhan understood immediately, and walked out with his head held high and chest out, his steps steady and powerful.
Finally, it was Dugu Zhan's turn to take the stage.
After all, heroes always make their appearance at the last moment, don't they?
"I don't need to test the crystal ball anymore!"
As soon as Dugu Zhan finished speaking, his soul power surged instantly, and he quickly released his soul ring.
In an instant, three spirit rings—one yellow and two purple—sparkled brilliantly, surrounding him and radiating a mysterious and powerful aura.
"Purple! The second spirit ring is actually a thousand-year level!"
"How is this possible? He... he's already a Soul Master!"
The surrounding students immediately erupted in chatter, whispering and discussing amongst themselves.
"This guy is a true genius!"
A fierce flame suddenly ignited in Dai Mubai's eyes, and a strong fighting spirit surged from the depths of his heart.
At the same time, Tang San's fighting spirit was also ignited, and he also longed to have a good match with Dugu Zhan.
After all, they were both warmongers who loved challenges at heart.
...
On the way to the fourth level, Dai Mubai took the initiative to introduce the academy to Dugu Zhan and the others so that they could better understand it.
"What? You mean your academy only has three students right now?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu was filled with surprise, her eyes wide with disbelief.
"Yes, including me, there are only three students in total."
Dai Mubai nodded helplessly and replied, "In the entire Douluo Continent, our Shrek Academy is probably the only academy with more teachers than students. The academy has been established for twenty years, but it has only enrolled a total of forty-two students."
"On average, it seems to be just over two per year!"
Dugu Zhan frowned slightly, lost in thought. "Then how will your academy maintain its operations? With so few students, it means the academy's income must be meager. If this continues, Shrek Academy will probably face closure soon."
As Dai Mubai walked, he explained with a wry smile, "Otherwise, why do you think the academy was built in such a remote little village? It's because of a lack of funds. If it weren't for my family occasionally sponsoring some gold soul coins, Shrek Academy would probably have closed down last year."
"If we can't recruit enough students this year, the three of us currently enrolled will become the last batch of students at Shrek Academy."
Dai Mubai spoke calmly, but his words revealed a deep sense of helplessness, clearly indicating that he was also powerless to change the current situation.
After all, the dean insisted on not lowering the admission requirements, and he himself could not fund the academy indefinitely. If things continued to develop in this way, the future of Shrek Academy was truly worrying.
"Then why doesn't the college relax the entrance exam requirements appropriately?"
Xiao Wu looked puzzled and tilted her head, asking, "I see quite a few people have come to register today?"
