The dark sky turned a deep blue, and a faint streak of dawn began to appear in the east, as if a hint of pale purple had flashed. Bei Bei, who was responsible for everyone's safety during the latter half of the night, hurriedly got up and woke Huo Yuhao, who had become somewhat obsessed with the Mystic Sky Technique.
At the same time, Tang Ya, who had been sleeping in a disheveled manner, seemed to have been suddenly hit by an early morning alarm. She instantly sprang up and darted to Bei Bei's side like a shadow.
The three of them sat facing east, their spirits completely focused. They breathed in gently and slowly, their eyes fixed on the faint purple hue.
Bei Bei and Tang Ya each exhaled a stream of white vapor, which gradually dissipated after several breaths. Huo Yuhao, who had just learned the Mystic Sky Technique, was not as powerful as the two of them. He could only feel the Spiritual Power of his Spirit Eye being nourished by a gentle, mysterious force, with effects far better than a whole night of cultivation.
Ling Bai, Ning Tian, and Wu Feng woke up from their sleep and meditation, all looking at the three Tang Sect members who were immersed in cultivation. Ning Tian's deep azure eyes revealed a hint of curiosity as she said with interest, "Is this a secret technique of the Tang Sect?"
Ling Bai nodded slightly, "Purple Extreme Demon Eye, a secret technique used by Tang Sect disciples to cultivate their mental and visual powers using the purple qi from the east." "Quite interesting."
The Nine Treasures Crystal Tower was not lacking in techniques for cultivating mental power, so Ning Tian's evaluation of the Purple Extreme Demon Eye was merely that it was somewhat intriguing.
After the Tang Sect trio finished their cultivation, the group continued their journey to Shrek Academy.
The route they had set required them to bypass the Star Dou Great Forest. Due to Huo Yuhao's weak physical condition, the six of them moved at a slower pace. It took them three full days to finally see the outline of Shrek Academy.
Following the main road out of the forest, they saw the tall city walls stretching out to the left and right on the distant plain. Compared to their impression of the academy, Shrek was more like a city.
Shrek City was built on the Lima Plain, covering an extremely vast area. As one of the largest cities on the Douluo Continent, it had a permanent population of over two million, far exceeding the size of the Nine Treasures City under the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower. Only the capitals of the Four Great Empires could rival it.
Shrek Academy was not located at the center of Shrek City but in the eastern part, subtly opposing the Star Dou Great Forest. If the Star Dou Great Forest were to ever launch a beast tide, Shrek Academy would be the first line of defense, preventing the soul beast army from causing countless deaths and injuries on the continent.
The western, southern, and northern gates of Shrek City were open for free entry and exit, but the eastern gate was exclusive to Shrek Academy. It was currently the annual Admissions Season, and the East Gate was extremely bustling.
More than five thousand people gathered outside the East Gate, the noise of voices and the bustle of vendors who had set up countless stalls at the gate made the outside more lively than the inside.
At the gate, a dozen young people in yellow school uniforms stood guard. They were second and third-year students of Shrek Academy. Bei Bei, relying on the fame of the Twin Stars, directly brushed past with everyone, bypassing the queue.
Feeling the strange gazes gathering on them, Tang Ya touched her face, puzzled, and said, "What's wrong with these students? Why are they always looking at us? Bei Bei, help me check if I didn't wash my face this morning!"
Bei Bei smiled and stretched out his mischievous hands to pinch Tang Ya's smooth, fair face several times. He inwardly praised his girlfriend's skin, and with a smile, he said, "It's not about you, it's mainly because of them..."
Bei Bei nodded towards Ling Bai and Ning Tian, who were admiring the scenery. Tang Ya turned her head and immediately understood.
Their flawless beauty, a result of their genes, combined with the noble aura cultivated in their superior environment, made them truly out of this world. One attracted men, and the other attracted women, with a 100% return rate wherever they went.
Tang Ya discovered within five minutes that eight people had nearly collided with pillars while admiring the opposite sex, including several new students in white school uniforms, whose youthful faces visibly turned red. This made Tang Ya shake her head in sigh,
"Being young is truly great, innocent young men!"
Bei Bei and Tang Ya led the four of them into Shrek Academy. Unlike the bustling atmosphere at the city gate, the environment inside Shrek Academy was beautiful and serene, with a rich variety of lush vegetation.
Walking down the wide avenue, one could see at least ten different types of plants, carefully cultivated by plant-type soul masters, in any direction they looked. After advancing two hundred meters, several massive statues blocked their view. There were ten statues in total, each nearly ten meters tall, all carved from the hardest granite.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"These are the ancestors of Shrek Academy."
Seeing the statues, Bei Bei and Tang Ya both stood up straight, their expressions revealing a hint of respect and admiration.
"Golden Iron Triangle and the Shrek Seven Monsters."
Flandre, Yu Xiaogang, and Liu Erlong, the founders of Shrek Academy, laid the foundation for Shrek's ten-thousand-year glory.
Dai Mubai, Oscar, Tang San, Ma Hongjun, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing, the names of the first Shrek Seven Monsters echoed across the Douluo Continent, marking the beginning of Shrek's ten-thousand-year glory.
Ling Bai's gaze swept over the lifelike ten statues, lingering for a few seconds on two of them.
One of them was naturally Tang San. Ling Bai observed Tang San, with his blue long hair and a gentle smile, whose actions in the Tang Sect were astonishing. Eighty percent of Huo Yuhao's hardships were due to this person.
The other one who caught Ling Bai's attention was a graceful and elegant woman, exuding a noble aura. Her palm, as white as jade, held a small nine-colored tower, her beauty and grace
unmatched.
Ning Rongrong, the Nine-Colored Fairy, the ancestor of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower.
Ling Bai had no particular interest in Ning Rongrong; he only saw a trace of Ning Tian in her. The others also repeatedly compared Ning Tian and Ning Rongrong, and Wu Feng was amazed, unable to understand how people separated by ten thousand years could be so
similar!
No one noticed Huo Yuhao's complex gaze as he looked at Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing. It was a mix of admiration and reverence for the ancestors and hatred and disgust for the Duke of White Tiger. He bit his lip tightly, lowered his head, and walked at the back, trying to avoid drawing attention to his unusual state.
At the end of the statues was a fork in the road. Tang Ya pointed to the sides and introduced, "From here, the paths will diverge. The larger area on the left is the Soul Master Department, and the smaller one on the right is the Soul Engineer Department. Bei Bei and I will take you to the registration office for new students in the Soul Master Department."
The recruitment process was nearing its end, and the Shrek Academy registration office was no longer as bustling as it was initially. Only a few students were queuing up to register.
A middle-aged man in his forties sat at the registration desk. He was tall and had a clean- shaven face, with a cold and stern expression. His badge on his chest bore his name and
position.
Dean of the Outer Academy, Du Weilun.
