Shrek Academy is located in a small village not far from the south gate of Soto City.
Regardless of the academy's actual standard, just looking at its location tells you it's definitely a makeshift operation.
It's only by boasting about not accepting geniuses, only monsters, that it manages to attract some naive young Soul Masters.
Both the teachers' teaching level and the resources they can provide are terribly poor.
However, even after Luo Ye and Zhu Zhuqing arrived, there were still over a hundred people lined up at the entrance of Shrek Academy.
Among these, those who could meet Shrek Academy's admission requirements were few and far between. Most people just thought that an academy in a village might not be too strict with admissions, and maybe they would have a chance to get in.
Unfortunately, students with this idea were destined to be disappointed.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at the dilapidated archway made of wood, with the large characters 'Shrek Academy' written on it, and felt a sense of disappointment. She whispered,
"Luo Ye, now I feel even more that Shrek Academy is not worthy of you."
Actually, after seeing Dai Mubai with a pair of twins going to the hotel yesterday, Zhu Zhuqing was already heartbroken. Coming to Shrek or not made no difference to her.
Zhu Zhuqing had even thought about suggesting to Luo Ye that they go to the Spirit Hall instead, to avoid him being held back by staying at Shrek Academy.
It was only after seeing Luo Ye write in his diary that he wanted to try and take Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong with him that she gave up this idea.
Otherwise, by now, she might have already been on the way to the Spirit Hall with Luo Ye.
Even with mental preparation, after seeing the true appearance of Shrek Academy, Zhu Zhuqing was still speechless.
No wonder Dai Mubai was so arrogant yesterday.
Previously in the Star Luo Empire, Davis kept him in check. Now, in this so-called Shrek Academy, he has become popular. After getting used to being flattered, Dai Mubai naturally became arrogant.
Facing Zhu Zhuqing's complaint, Luo Ye appeared surprisingly calm, as if he had already experienced it. He turned around and comforted her,
"It's alright, we can go in and take a look first. If we really feel it's not suitable later, we can absolutely choose to drop out."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded and was about to say something else, but suddenly, a quarrel broke out ahead.
Zhu Zhuqing and Luo Ye looked up simultaneously and clearly saw a father and son arguing with the Shrek Academy's admissions Teacher.
"Why won't you refund the registration fee? We haven't even entered your academy. You just touched my son's wrist and said he was over the age limit, and you still want to pocket our registration fee?"
"That's ten gold Soul coins! You are clearly scamming people!"
This voice caused quite a stir. Everyone looked ahead, wanting to know what Shrek Academy would do.
Luo Ye frowned at this scene and immediately started writing in his diary.
[As expected, it's the same as in my previous life. These guys from Shrek Academy act like they can't afford to live. They just touched the student's bones and refused to accept him on the grounds of being over the age limit, and they won't refund the registration fee of ten gold Soul coins.]
[In my previous life, my impression of Shrek Academy became very poor from the moment I saw this scene, especially after learning about the conduct of the teachers and students inside, which further solidified my decision to leave.]
[Their so-called school motto, saying that not daring to cause trouble is mediocrity, isn't that just teaching students how to bully the weak and fear the strong?]
[Wantonly humiliating the weak, but not daring to say a word in front of the strong, how can such people be qualified to be academy teachers?]
[I didn't expect that after being reborn, I would have to endure this disgust and stay here.]
[There's nothing more to say. After finding a way to convince Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, I must leave this foul academy as soon as possible.]
Zhu Zhuqing finally understood the reason why Luo Ye left Shrek Academy in his previous life.
It wasn't that he felt Shrek Academy was not worthy of him, but rather that in his opinion, the people of Shrek Academy were fundamentally different from him and not on the same path.
Let alone Luo Ye, even Zhu Zhuqing felt that Shrek Academy had gone too far.
Ten gold Soul coins were nothing to those from wealthy families, but for civilian Soul Masters, it was definitely a huge sum of money.
As a result, their Shrek Academy just swallowed this huge sum of money alive?
Facts proved that Shrek indeed wanted to swallow this money.
Facing the malicious demand for a refund from the father and son, the admissions Teacher said indifferently,
"Mubai, someone wants to claim the registration fee, you handle it."
Dai Mubai walked out from the side upon hearing this, looking very listless, completely devoid of the arrogance he displayed yesterday.
However, this listlessness was only relative. Facing the father and son demanding the registration fee, Dai Mubai didn't waste words, directly activated his Soul power, and released three Soul rings.
"It's simple to get the registration fee back. As long as you can beat me, it will be fully refunded."
Facing Dai Mubai's threat, the father and son were furious but didn't dare to speak. After hesitating for a moment, they gave up demanding the registration fee and turned around and left.
Their experience also served as a reminder to the people waiting in line behind them. One by one, students left, and in the blink of an eye, only a dozen people remained.
Knowing that Shrek Academy was so deceitful, they didn't want their ten gold Soul coins registration fee to be like a meat bun thrown to a dog, never to return.
As the crowd dispersed, Dai Mubai also saw Luo Ye and Zhu Zhuqing behind him.
When he saw Luo Ye looking at him with a half-smile, Dai Mubai's face instantly turned pale. He subconsciously took a few steps back, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Mubai, what are you doing?"
The admissions Teacher asked with a puzzled look.
Dai Mubai's body trembled upon hearing this, and he shook his head, saying,
"N-Nothing."
The admissions Teacher didn't pay it any mind and continued to interview the next student, leaving Dai Mubai standing in place.
He was hit by Luo Ye's Soul shock yesterday and still felt a bit dizzy, with a constant buzzing in his head.
Especially Luo Ye's three red hundred-thousand-year Soul rings made Dai Mubai question his life.
When he returned to Shrek Academy today, he specifically asked Flander, and Flander's reply was for him to see a doctor if he was sick.
A Soul Grandmaster wanting to have three hundred-thousand-year Soul rings, even in a dream, it shouldn't be this absurd.
Dai Mubai didn't say much about this. In fact, he had also realized that Luo Ye's three hundred-thousand-year Soul rings were definitely fake, likely related to his Soul skill.
If he were given another chance, he definitely wouldn't have acted so poorly.
Thinking of this, Dai Mubai took a deep look at Luo Ye, determined to see how strong this guy's real power was later.
