Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is Kunpeng

"Stop talking nonsense. Tang San is my brother. I won't fall for your tricks."

Dai Mubai snorted coldly and glared fiercely at Oscar.

"Hurry up, don't make me do it."

Oscar clearly didn't dare to offend Dai Mubai, so he had no choice but to extend his right hand and whisper something in a somewhat lewd voice.

"I have a big sausage."

Two yellow spirit rings rose from beneath his feet. Then, the first spirit ring lit up, and an identical sausage appeared in his palm.

"Well……"

Tang San's face immediately froze. That sentence was too ambiguous, especially with Oscar's lewd smile and tone. Tang San instantly became angry.

Sensing Tang San's increasingly hostile gaze, Oscar quickly offered an explanation.

"I had no choice. Food-type martial souls require different soul incantations to use, and what I just said was the incantation for my first soul ring, not something I wanted to shout. Besides, the quality of my sausages is absolutely fine."

"Never mind, you can keep your sausage for yourself."

Tang San put the sausage back on the charcoal stove.

Monster Academy truly lives up to its name; even a random student is so eccentric.

The girl Dai Mubai brought only gave them a cold look before walking towards the group without saying a word.

Dai Mubai glared at him again. "You better watch out. If you're going to sell sausages, go sell them outside. Tang San, I'll take you guys to pass the exam."

"Where's my sausage?"

Xiao Wu was puzzled when she saw Tang San return empty-handed.

Tang San and Dai Mubai exchanged a glance and immediately burst into laughter.

"Xiao Wu, it's our turn."

Luo Hao crossed his arms and watched the farce unfold before him, his gaze sweeping over Dai Mobai and Zhu Zhuqing without a word.

"Let's go straight to the next checkpoint; we don't need to stay here."

As he spoke, Dai Mubai ran behind the table to the teacher, pointed at Luo Hao and the others, and whispered a few words in his ear.

The teacher nodded and said, "Okay, take them directly to the fourth stage. If they pass, they can be admitted directly."

Dai Mubai returned to Luo Hao's side and led the others to the back.

After the battle at the academy gate, everyone knew that Luo Hao and his group were not simple, so no one had any objections.

"You've already passed the first test, so the next two shouldn't be a problem for you either. Let's go straight to the fourth test."

Dai Mubai walked ahead and began to introduce the people still in line.

"The second test assesses soul power and martial soul identification. Strong soul power alone does not prove future potential. Therefore, martial soul must also be tested. Only those with a powerful martial soul and who have developed in the right direction during their previous cultivation can enter the third test. Of course, if the martial soul is special enough, it can also be selected, like how Xiao Ao passed it."

Dai Mubai's words were direct and easy to understand. The first test of soul power was just to determine whether someone had a powerful martial soul and had not neglected basic soul power cultivation.

The second test mainly examines the potential of the martial soul and whether the selection of soul rings and soul skills is correct. People with the best soul ring ratio are more likely to break through to higher levels than those with white soul rings.

While the selection of soul skills has certain inclinations, it is still largely random. If a soul beast chooses the wrong skill or is simply unlucky and gets a useless soul skill, it will greatly affect its future development potential.

At least in the Douluo Continent, a world where skills rely entirely on spirit rings, losing two spirit ring slots is equivalent to losing two skills.

"The third test is the degree of application of the Martial Soul. Having Soul Power and a powerful Martial Soul is not enough if you don't have any control over it. The higher the level of the Martial Soul, the more difficult it is to control. If your control over the Martial Soul is not up to a certain standard, it is easy to run into problems. This proves that the Soul Master is not diligent enough, and we will not accept such students."

This is easy to understand. Just like Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer, because of the vicious mutation caused by the conflict with the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, it did not bring him any soul power.

While Tang San's Xuan Tian Gong is balanced, moderate, and highly adaptable, its compatibility with the Haotian Hammer is clearly very low. He can only barely adapt to it and cannot control it well.

Even at his peak, Tang San could only manage three swings using the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, relying on the opponent's force against them.

"The fourth test is practical combat experience. Most Soul Masters have been pampered since childhood, growing up in a sweet environment. They know nothing about the outside world, let alone combat. We don't want students like that. The Dean has said that we don't want anyone who is spoiled."

Luo Hao was speechless after hearing Dai Mubai's words.

So it turns out that people really can be speechless when they're speechless.

"Are you picking students or wives? That's way too strict. How many students would you get each year if you kept this up?"

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai couldn't help but smile wryly.

"Our Shrek Academy has been established for twenty years. In those twenty years, we have admitted a total of forty-two students, which is a little over two per year. If all four of you are admitted this year, it will be a record. Before this, we had not admitted any students for two years. I was thinking that you and two other students would be the last students of Shrek Academy."

"So, you only have three students in your college?"

Aside from Luo Hao, who knew this from the beginning, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing all found it unbelievable.

Dai Mubai made a self-deprecating joke.

"Among all the academies in the entire Douluo Continent, Shrek Academy is probably the only one with more teachers than academy. Even after you are admitted, the number of students in our academy will never exceed the number of teachers."

Tang San frowned. "If we can't recruit any students, how will the academy survive? Without students, the academy won't have any income, right?"

Dai Mubai shrugged helplessly.

"Otherwise, why do you think the academy is located in this small village? It's because of a lack of funds. If it weren't for some sponsorship from my family, the academy would probably have closed down last year. If we can't recruit any more students this year, the three of us will be the last batch of students at Shrek Academy."

Xiao Wu wrinkled her nose and asked with some confusion.

"If that's the case, why doesn't the academy relax the requirements a bit? I see quite a few people have applied."

"This brings us to the Dean of our Shrek Academy."

At this point, Dai Mubai's face became serious, and a look of respect could be clearly seen in his eyes.

"The Dean said, 'Better to have none than to have bad ones.' No matter what, even if Shrek Academy closes down, we will never accept trash. We only accept monsters. Do you know what the graduation requirements are? We are neither the Ultimate Soul Master Academy nor the Advanced Soul Master Academy. Our requirements are different from theirs. We only accept students under the age of thirteen, and they must have extraordinary talent. The graduation requirement is to be above level forty, and to reach the Soul Master level before the age of twenty."

"The academy admitted a total of sixty-two students, but only fourteen actually graduated. After leaving the academy, all fourteen became world-renowned figures. The most outstanding one is now the youngest elder in the Spirit Hall, second only to the Pope in authority. The rest who did not graduate were either unable to complete level forty cultivation before the age of twenty or died while hunting spirit beasts. The Dean said that if you are not at level forty-one, don't go out and embarrass him."
