CH 19: Shrek school

A few days had passed since the five of them had reached Suo Tuo City, and now, they were walking towards Shrek school. In the past three days, nothing unusual had happened, they all had just played and lazed around.

Also, Tang San didn't manage to get his hands on the Hair Crystal which he had bought from Flender's shop in the original. The one that he managed to get the Dragon Beard Needles from.

The same needles that helped him defeat Zhao Wuji in the original, and the ones that cause extreme pain when they enter someone's body because they curl up into their original state when soul power isn't injected into them.

Why didn't he get it? Because Ali had bought it a long time ago. Since he had Tang San's knowledge and techniques about Hidden Weapons, of course he was gonna make some use of them.

Even though he wasn't going to go through the trouble of making the other weapons, he would mind taking the ones that were already prepared and ready to be taken.

It wasn't that he desperately needed it or was going to start using Hidden Weapons, but he just wanted to have it. Why? It was a hobby of his. He saw a rare item, he wanted it.

He was a gamer in his past life, and he wouldn't mind taking all the rare items. That hasn't changed in this world. He wanted all the good stuff for himself. He had used the Dragon Beard Needles quite a few times when he was alone, but he still liked the feeling of pure combat.

After all, nothing felt as good as bashing someone's head in or hitting them so hard they would blow up. The feeling of bones cracking in his hands was just fantastic for him. It really riled up his sadistic side.

But it wasn't like he didn't enjoy taking it slow sometimes. There were times where he would mentally torture people with his Majestic Incubus martial soul just for satisfying his sadistic side.

When they finally reached the place, they saw a line of people in front of a chair and a cover where an old man was sitting under. They all looked at each other with confusion before Ali looked at the gate :"Is this seriously the school? This ruined place?"

Xiao Wu nodded in agreement :"It's impossible. How can this be a soul master school? San'ge, did the Master make a mistake? It doesn't look like a school here. Is this a deceit?"

Ali nodded and hummed in agreement :"I agree with Xiao Wu. It was already weird how the school was outside of the city, but how can even the gate be this old? It looks like it's going to crumble any second."

'I knew that Shrek school was in bad condition, but come on, man. This is even worse than Spirit Saint Village! And that's saying a shit ton!'

"I don't think mister <that's what Ali and his lovers call Yu Xiaogang> would joke around like this." Yuena shook her head :"He isn't someone to joke around at all.

I don't think it's as simple as this. After all, a school that only accepts children below the age of 12 and above the soul power level of 21 can't be that simple."

Zhuqing nodded :"I agree with sister Yuena. Maybe this is just a cover or something. Maybe a test. We shouldn't judge a book by its cover, remember? We're already here, so we might as well take a look."

"... Fine, might as well." Ali shrugged before they all joined the line. However, they weren't the only ones who had doubts there.

Random old lady :"Is anything wrong? This is the so-called soul master school? It even claims that students would be viscounts after graduation."

Random guy number 1 :"People from the Martial Soul Hall said it. It should be right. But... This school looks really old..."

Random guy number 1's son :"Father, I don't want to study here. It's so embarrassing! Let me go to Suo Tuo Intermediate Soul Master School. I was also considered a genius in the Beginner School."

A look of disgust and disdain appeared on Ali's face as his face scrunched up in pure disgust :'Bitch, who you think you are to try and show off?

I'm level 39 with all decade millennium soul rings, yet I still try to act humble and don't just act like I'm on top of the entire world. Yet your bitch ass who hasn't even reached level 20 dares to call yourself a genius in broad daylight? The audacity...'

Random guy number 1 :"Sigh, since we're here, let's just wait. Maybe this is a test and the real school is not located here."

It was the turn of a young boy in the front. He took out a few gold coins and held them out for the old man :"Mister, here's 10 gold soul coins." Before he put them inside a box.

"Reach out a hand." The old man said calmly and nonchalantly. As the boy reached out a hand, he put his hand on his palm before humming :"Your age doesn't match. You can go now."

The child was taken aback as his father tried to convince the old man "Mister, my son has just passed the age of admission. Can you please make an exception?"

But the old man didn't bother :"Based on the school rules, admission is not allowed beyond the age of admission. You knew it."

'Wow, talk about bad service... But well, he does have a point. It was this guy's fault for coming here even though he knew that his son wouldn't be accepted.'

The boy's father :"Then, our admission fees..."

Old man :"After registration, admission fees are not refundable."

The boy's father :"N-not refundable?! You are cheating for money!"

Old man :"Hurry up and go! Don't affect the people behind."

The boy's father :"No way! You must make a refund! Otherwise, I'm not leaving! If we knew Shrek school is so poor, we wouldn't have come!"

The people in the line immediately began whispering among themselves as the five teenagers looked at each other. The old man calmly tapped his fingers on the desk in front of him :"Mubai, someone is claiming for refund. Settle it."

"You can have a refund." Dai Mubai's voice came from a nearby tree before he jumped down and walked towards them :"Full refund if you can win against me in a battle."

And he released his soul rings without releasing his martial soul. "It's purple! It's a thousand year one!" Someone gasped as they all looked at him in shock.

Seeing that he's up against a level 30 soul elder, the father of the boy sighed in annoyance, grabbed his hand and walked away :"We're so unlucky! Let's go!"

After they walked away, Dai Mubai took back his soul rings as the old man examined another boy :"Failed. You can go now."

The mother of the boy :"Why? My son is perfectly good. He's an outstanding student in the Beginner Soul Master School. Moreover, he has a hundred year soul ring! It's rare to own a hundred year soul ring."

'Tsk, yeah, so rare that almost every soul master in existence has it. Bitch, piss off. You're not even counted as a soul master if you don't have a hundred year soul ring!'

Old man :"It's good to own one. But judging from his soul power, he's just an ordinary person."

The boy's father :"I don't understand."

Old man :"*Getting up and walking around the table* When you register at Shrek school, you should be clear with the rules. If you come here without figuring it out, you're just paying the admission fees for nothing.

It's still not too late to leave if you regret it. Do you know the meaning of Shrek? Shrek is a monster. It's extremely weird among the soul beasts. The meaning of Shrek school... Is a monster school.

We only accept "monsters", but not ordinary people. Anyone who exceeds the age of admission or has a soul power level below level 21, won't need to waste their time here."

'Yeah, weird to the point where not even one was seen in any of the Douluo Dalu series...'

To convince them, the old man released his martial soul. Six soul rings rose from his feet to his head before descending back to his feet as a black staff appeared in his hand.

White, yellow, purple, purple, purple, black. Level 60 soul emperor with 6 soul rings.

He slammed the staff to the ground, creating a soul wave before he took it back and walked back to his seat :"Next!" Everybody was shocked before quite a few people started to walk away.

Zhuqing gently smiled at Ali :"See? I told you that it won't be that simple. A level 60 soul emperor is actually here to take in the registration and stand guard. How strong are the other teachers?"

Xiao Wu nodded excitedly :"Yeah! This school looks interesting now. Especially when that teacher said they only accept "monsters" and not ordinary people. Awesome!"

"Now you don't doubt the Master's orders, right?" Tang San smiled :"Shrek school must be unusual."
