Douluo Continent: Shrek Prince, Getting to the Root of the Matter

next day

Shrek Fighting Spirit Zone

Du Weilun stood on the high platform and announced the results of the freshman competition, as well as the selection of the core members of the Martial Soul system.

Judging from the commendation results, the outcome of this freshman competition is not much different from the original work. Although Huo Yuhao did not have Wang Dong's help, he still passed the test smoothly with the powerful auxiliary function of the Spirit Eye.

However, compared to his performance in the original work, he is even less likely to receive the treatment of a core disciple now.

However, he did not feel regret. On the one hand, his performance in this freshman assessment was not as outstanding as in the original work. On the other hand, he had already received the treatment of a core disciple of the Soul Guidance Department in advance.

And so, under Dai Huabin's resentful gaze, the freshman competition came to an end.

After the commendation ceremony, Yu Wudao led Wang Dong to Du Weilun's office.

Because of the high quality of this year's freshmen, the champion's prize is also very special and will be distributed in secrecy.

in the office

Du Weilun took out a leather bag and handed it over.

"This is the left leg bone of a Void Demon Leopard, from one..."

Before Du Weilun could finish speaking, he was met with disdainful looks from the two men.

It was just a thousand-year-old soul bone, and one that came from an ordinary soul beast. Neither Wang Dong nor Yu Wudao looked down on it.

Yu Wudao grabbed him, interrupting Du Weilun's introduction.

"Alright, that's enough. Yan Caoji is still so stingy, knowing I'm in this year's competition, he still gives such a paltry reward."

Du Weilun's lips twitched, thinking to himself, "Who knew you, you jinx, could actually make it back? This soul bone was only brought out to appease Dai Huabin's team, whose martial soul is the child of the Netherworld Cat."

"Wang Dong, do you want some?"

Yu Wudao threw the leather bag over, but Wang Dong threw it back.

"If I absorb this soul bone, I'll get a lot of flak when I get home."

Yu Wudao shrugged at Du Weilun, thinking that it was a valuable asset anyway, and put it into the soul tool.

He led Wang Dong out of the office and headed towards the inner courtyard, casually taking out a bone ring engraved with dark gold patterns from his soul tool and tossing it over.

"This is your reward."

Wang Dong took it curiously, stroking the smooth surface of the bone ring, and asked with some curiosity:

"What is this? Where did you get it? This material feels unusual."

Yu Wudao's lips curled up and he smiled, "This ring is made from the spine of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, so the material is certainly not simple."

"What? A 100,000-year-old soul beast? You disappeared a few days ago just for this?"

"Of course! I even fought him, and he's still lying in the academy's arena!"

Wang Dong pursed his lips, looking incredulous.

"You're just bragging! Do you think all 100,000-year-old soul beasts are incompetent fools like Dai Huabin?"

"But this bone ring is really nice, are you giving it to me?"

Yu Wudao nodded and said casually.

"This was a special reward prepared specifically for you."

Wang Dong smiled and carefully put it away.

"Thank you, I will keep it safe."

"That would be perfect."

Yu Wudao said meaningfully.

This is not just a simple bone ring; it contains a magic circle anchor point engraved by Electrolux. If Electrolux wishes, he can use this anchor point to achieve two-way teleportation.

Furthermore, relying on this anchor point, Yu Wudao was able to keep track of Wang Dong's location at any time.

Zhang Lexuan also has a similar bone ring, but hers has more functions, including a call function, although there is some delay.

In response, Yu Wudao could only say that Electrolux truly deserved to be called the top-tier "portable grandpa" among the cheats back then.

Leaving aside the aspect of power, the functional magic arrays he has mastered and his rich knowledge and experience are almost a dimensional attack on the Douluo Continent.

With Yu Wudao leading the way, the two entered the inner courtyard without any obstacles.

Upon arriving on the island, Yu Wudao led Wang Dong straight to Elder Zhuang's residence.

The inner courtyard was not large, and in a short while the two arrived at a small wooden house.

Yu Wudao stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Knock knock knock!"

A moment later, a voice came from inside the door.

"Here it comes! That force... It must be Wudao knocking!"

With a creak, the door opened, and a robust old man stood in the doorway.

"You wicked fellow! It's been years since you last visited this old man!"

The old man spoke with a hint of resentment in his voice.

Yu Wudao gave an awkward smile.

"Mr. Zhuang, you're always so busy, how could I possibly bother you?"

Old Zhuang put his arm around Yu Wudao's shoulder and pulled him into the wooden house. Just as he was about to say a few more words, he saw Wang Dong behind Yu Wudao.

"This is……"

Yu Wudao quickly chimed in, "This is a friend I made in the outer courtyard. I brought him to the inner courtyard today since it's a holiday. Elder Zhuang, could you give him a check-up later? We're already here, we can't just leave empty-handed, can we?"

Old Master Zhuang stroked his beard and laughed:

"Sure, sure! Since you're my friend, come in! Don't be shy, kid, make yourself at home."

The three of them went inside.

Contrary to Wang Dong's expectations, Old Zhuang's house was neither large nor luxurious. Unfamiliar plants climbed the walls, and the room was devoid of any decorations, filled with flowers and plants she had never seen before.

Yu Wudao pushed Wang Dong in front of Elder Zhuang, who didn't hesitate and activated his martial spirit to begin a detailed scan.

Meanwhile, his mouth was also busy.

"You wicked fellow, how's my unworthy disciple doing in the outer courtyard? Has he caused any trouble for the academy?"

The disciple that Master Zhuang mentioned was the same teacher that Zhou Yi called to treat Huo Yuhao and the others in the original story.

Yu Wudao was basically familiar with the affairs of the outer courtyard, and immediately shook his head, saying:

"Master Zhuang, how could a disciple trained by such an outstanding person like you possibly cause trouble everywhere? If you want to see Teacher Lin, I'll go and persuade him to come back tomorrow. Just wait for me at the Sea God Pavilion!"

Old Zhuang is also a proud and arrogant person, but his pride is limited to his awkwardness when dealing with his family. However, Yu Wudao can always accurately guess what he is thinking and help him achieve his wishes while maintaining his dignity.

This is one of the reasons why he likes Yu Wudao so much.

Old Zhuang smiled and withdrew his hand. Wang Dong stood up in surprise. She discovered that not only were all the injuries she had sustained in the competition healed, but even some of the unspeakable discomfort she had felt before had vanished.

"Little Wudao, you don't know yet, do you? Your ancestor, Elder Mu, has prepared a great gift for you this time! But whether you can accept this gift is up to you!"

"A big gift?"

Yu Wudao asked in confusion, his eyes flickering, and he had some guesses in his mind.

"I see."

"You don't need to ask me. Since Elder Mu didn't... Eh? What did you say?"

Old Master Zhuang stroked his beard and smiled, then stopped, as if he doubted that he had misheard, and asked in confusion.

"I said I roughly know what it is. It seems my position has been finalized, but I need to undergo an assessment, right?"

Yu Wudao repeated himself, also sharing his own conjecture.

Old Zhuang looked at him in shock and said:

"How is your brain structured? How can it work so well? Sometimes I really want to crack it open and see what's inside."

Yu Wudao felt a chill and quickly said:

"Mr. Zhuang, please tell me what the assessment is!"

Since Yu Wudao had already revealed it, Elder Zhuang no longer insisted on keeping it a secret. Ignoring Wang Dong, who was eavesdropping, he said in a serious tone:

"After deliberation, the academy has decided that the assessment for Yu Wudao, the young master of the Sea God Pavilion, is: to lead a Shrek Academy second team to achieve at least second place in this year's Continental Advanced Academy Soul Master Battle Tournament!"
