Douluo: I use shadow to open Shura

Chapter 85 Shrek Academy, Becoming a Disciple of Zhao Wuji

In the world of Douluo Continent, if the first spirit ring determines the development direction after the martial soul is established, then the third spirit ring should determine the development direction of the spirit master.

Are you going for a control-based, defense-based, support-based, or agility-based build...?

The fifth spirit ring is the first ten-thousand-year spirit ring that a spirit master can absorb, and generally speaking, this ten-thousand-year spirit ring determines the spirit master's future.

Because once a Soul Master breaks through to the Soul Saint level, the first few Soul Rings become practically useless. Only the fifth Soul Ring, which takes ten thousand years to reach, can unleash the terrifying boost from the True Soul.

In other words, it doesn't matter if a Soul Master's first few Soul Rings are minor, but if their fifth Soul Ring is better, then they can truly defy fate.

The seventh spirit ring, the spirit ring of the Martial Soul True Body, determines whether one can break through to the Title Douluo level in the future.

It is said that one needs a seventh spirit ring of over 60,000 to have a chance to break through to the Title Douluo level.

The ninth spirit ring is also crucial; only a ninth spirit ring that is 100,000 years old can break through to the Super Douluo level without encountering a bottleneck in the future.

Mo Yu had been thinking about what kind of spirit ring could grant him more power, but now that he thought about the age limit of this spirit ring, his heart sank.

Although he has already begun to absorb spirit rings beyond his limits, he still needs to work harder if he wants to become a first-level god.

Let's tentatively set the third spirit ring at four to five thousand years.

Just as Mo Yu was pondering, Dai Mubai brought Mo Yu and the others to Shrek Academy.

In front of Shrek Academy's gates, countless farmers were working in the fields, with a few elderly men even carrying manure to fertilize the land.

In an instant, Mo Yu's thought that "at least we won't starve to death here" vanished.

We have to find a way to move!
"Mo Yu, you two are both very talented and strong. Would you like to join our Shrek Academy?"

The three of them passed through a wooden archway with the words "Shrek Academy" carved on it, and Dai Mubai invited the two of them.

"Dai Mubai, are you crazy? You want me to join an academy like this? It's not even as good as my junior academy!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu's fiery temper flared up, and she retorted.

After being trained by Mo Yu, Xiao Wu no longer says things like "I am so great" like she did in the original timeline, but her fiery temper is still hard to change.

"Xiao Wu, don't underestimate our academy. Soul Masters who graduate from our academy can become viscounts of the empire."

Dai Mubai immediately tried to save face. Now that he had joined the academy, he couldn't let others say that his academy was trash.

But Dai Mubai's words might fool other children, but Mo Yu wouldn't be fooled by such words.

"Come on, Dai Mubai. The graduation requirement for your academy is Soul Master. Which academy's Soul Master graduates can't become viscounts of the empire?"

"Um... then the fact that Shrek Academy can produce a Soul Master also proves that our academy is amazing, right?"

Upon hearing Mo Yu's words, Dai Mubai knew that Mo Yu was not someone who was easily fooled, and scratched his head.

"Dai Mubai, who do you think can't break through to the Soul Master level?"

Xiao Wu was even more annoyed by Dai Mubai's words.

"Alright, let's go see the Soul Saint senior here!"

Mo Yu smiled and stopped the two from arguing for no reason.

"Yes, yes, I'll take you to see my teacher right away."

During their previous journey, Dai Mubai already knew that Mo Yu and Xiao Wu's purpose was to pursue their studies.

If the two of them take a liking to teachers like Zhao Wuji, they might join Shrek Academy.

Dai Mubai really hoped that Mo Yu and the others could join Shrek Academy, because Mo Yu and the others were the only ones of the same age in Shrek Academy, and they could talk to each other.

As for Ma Hongjun and Oscar, one was always flaring up with evil spirits, and the other was a food-type soul master; they could hardly exchange a few words.

"Look, that's our teacher Zhao Wuji."

Dai Mubai pointed to a spot on the distant playground where an extremely robust middle-aged man was watching several students train their physical fitness.

Mo Yu looked closely and realized that Shrek Academy had other students.

That's right. In the original timeline, it seems that only those who are twelve years old and level twenty can enter Shrek Academy, but they still need to undergo other assessments.

So, did these students pass?
Mo Yu began to use the power of the Netherworld Eye, but this time what he saw gave him the creeps.

These students are not in good condition; their bodies have suffered varying degrees of injury. If they continue training, their futures may be ruined. Training shouldn't be done haphazardly; not everyone is suited to high-intensity training.

Moreover, the food here is not good. Only Shao Xin, a food-type soul master, gives some candy to treat the injuries, but Shao Xin's candy cannot be eaten as a meal.

Mo Yu recalled that in the original timeline, Shrek Academy had not had any new students for two or three years when Tang San and his friends enrolled. This meant that this was the last batch of students who were not part of the Shrek Seven Devils.

Furthermore, Mo Yu also remembered that only a handful of Shrek Academy students graduated; the others either failed to break through to level 40 before level 20 or died from Soul Hunting.

Therefore, Shrek Academy is truly an irresponsible academy. Those who break through to level 40 before the age of 20 are among the strongest in other advanced academies.

However, they told everyone not to tell anyone, and even said that Shrek couldn't afford to lose face.

This academy is completely crooked from top to bottom. A normal Soul Master who isn't level 40 by age 20 is considered a genius even at level 39 or 38.

If you can't bring yourself to say it, you can just say you didn't work hard enough, and it has nothing to do with the college.

Furthermore, those deceased Soul Masters were all from the same lineage; Xuanzi in the second part died because he neglected his duties while hunting Souls…

For these reasons, Mo Yu has refused to join Shrek Academy. Rather than joining Shrek, he would rather go to Liu Erlong's Blue Tyrant Academy, where he can still participate in competitions with Tang San and obtain soul bones.

But before that, he still had to take Zhao Wuji and Shao Xin away.

"Teacher Zhao, I've brought you a student!"

Suddenly, Dai Mubai shouted and ran straight towards Zhao Wuji.

Zhao Wuji turned around curiously. He was not tall, but he was exceptionally sturdy and had a majestic presence.

If I had to describe it, it would be like the feeling of a weightlifter.

Although this was Mo Yu's first time meeting Zhao Wuji, he had a good impression of Zhao Wuji.

Not every Soul Master dares to face the Titan Giant Ape directly.

"Teacher Zhao, it's them, Mo Yu and Xiao Wu. These two are geniuses who are no less than me."

"Oh? Really? But Shrek Academy hasn't started recruiting new students yet."

Zhao Wuji's eyes lit up upon hearing this. He smiled and glanced at Mo Yu and Xiao Wu, then said gently.

"Hehe, there are always exceptions for geniuses!"

"Right!"

Dai Mubai and Zhao Wuji continued talking to themselves, completely ignoring the attitudes of Mo Yu and the other person.

"We never said we wanted to join Shrek!"

"Yes."

Upon hearing that Zhao Wuji and the others wanted to recruit her, Xiao Wu immediately refused loudly, and even Mo Yu echoed her sentiment.

"If you won't join Shrek Academy, then what are you doing here?"

Zhao Wuji was stunned. He looked at Dai Mubai as if asking what was going on.

"It's me. I've come to become your disciple. I've heard that you are very powerful, Teacher Zhao, so I want to become your student!"

Mo Yu stepped forward, clasped his hands in a respectful gesture, and said...

"Take me as your master? But I, Old Zhao, don't know anything!"

Zhao Wuji quite liked it when someone did this, as it greatly satisfied his psychological needs, but he also knew that the person didn't understand any theories.

In Douluo Continent, the apprenticeship and inheritance are very solemn matters. Zhao Wuji didn't know the theory, so he was naturally a little embarrassed.

"Teacher Zhao, I'm serious."

After speaking, Mo Yu took out a piece of millennium whale glue.

Looking at the thousand-year-old whale glue, Zhao Wuji accepted it instantly without batting an eye, and coughed twice.

"Never mind, one more won't make a difference."
