Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 25 Shrek Academy

Enraged, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm banished him from the Sea of ​​Spirit. Ji Lin shook his head with a smile. This Tianmeng Ice Silkworm is so pathetic, and it won't even let anyone talk about it.

Having achieved their objective, there was no need to stay in the Star Dou Great Forest any longer. On their way back, Ji Lin spotted Bei Bei, Tang Ya, and the other two hunting a hundred-year-old Purple Spirit Wolf in the distance.

On the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, Huo Yuhao actually encountered a rare spirit-attribute soul beast. It seems that although he had his Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm snatched away by Huo Yuhao, he still managed to find a soul beast that suited him. He truly deserves to be the most favored child of the original world's consciousness.

Arriving at the place where they parted ways, Chi Yuan was resting against a tree. After the two reunited, they headed towards Shrek Academy.

They weren't traveling very fast, because they had to bypass the Star Dou Great Forest, so their journey was nearly a thousand miles.

Several hours later, Ji Lin and his companion finally saw the location of Shrek Academy.

It's more accurate to call it a city than an academy. Following the main road out of a forest, the high city walls of the plains stretch out to the left and right in the distance.

Shrek Academy is built on the Lima Plain, covering an extremely vast area. It is itself a city, known as Shrek City. On the Douluo Continent, Shrek City is one of the largest cities, home to over two million people. Shrek Academy has independent governance over this city and is not required to pay taxes to any country. This alone is something that no other academy in any country, including the Sun Moon Empire, can match.

Shrek Academy is not located in the center of Shrek City, but in the eastern part of Shrek City, because it faces the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Shrek City is surrounded by continental routes in all directions, making its transportation network extremely convenient. It is not only home to Shrek Academy but also a crucial commercial city at the crossroads of the three major empires of the original Douluo Continent. Thanks to Shrek Academy, Shrek City enjoys excellent security, making trade fair and trustworthy. Therefore, merchants from the three empires often choose Shrek City for their cross-border trade.

The south, west, and north gates of Shrek City are open to all, except for the east gate, which is exclusively for Shrek Academy.

Ji Lin and Chi Yuan arrived at the East Gate.

Although this city gate is only for Shrek Academy's use, it is extremely lively at this moment. At least five thousand people have gathered outside the east gate, making the area outside the gate exceptionally bustling. A large number of merchants have already arrived, and it is estimated that the area outside the city is even more lively than the city itself.

"It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. It seems we've just arrived just in time for Shrek Academy to recruit new students."

Ji Lin looked at the bustling city gate and a smile appeared on his lips.

As for the recommendation letters from the three major empire capital cities, Xu Jiujiu had already prepared them for him.

As for the two requirements for entering Shrek Academy's outer academy, the first is that one must be no older than twelve years old, and the second is that one's soul power must be no less than level fifteen.

None of this mattered to Ji Lin.

After escorting Ji Lin to the East Gate, Chi Yuan left. She would live in Shrek City, but would not enter Shrek Academy. The academy would not allow a Title Douluo who did not belong to the academy to live there.

Therefore, Chi Yuan could only live in Shrek City. Fortunately, the wealthy princess Xu Jiu Jiu had already prepared a mansion for Chi Yuan, so the two of them didn't have to bother finding a new place to live.

After Chi Yuan left, Ji Lin bypassed the crowd from the side and arrived outside the East Gate.

From afar, Ji Lin saw a peerless beauty in white standing at the east gate, as if she were waiting for someone.

Passersby frequently cast glances at her; beautiful women always attract attention.

"Sister Lexuan!?"

Ji Lin looked at the white-clad figure with surprise. He hadn't expected to meet Zhang Lexuan so soon after arriving at Shrek Academy, before even entering the city.

Hearing the familiar voice, Zhang Lexuan looked over and saw a familiar face that was much taller and more handsome than it had been three years ago.

Zhang Lexuan also showed a joyful smile, waved to Ji Lin, and used Ji Lin to go over.

Ji Lin jogged up to Zhang Lexuan and asked, "Sister Lexuan, are you waiting for someone? You're not waiting for me, are you?"

"Yes, I calculated the time, and you should be enrolling in Shrek Academy this year, so I came to wait for you on the day of freshman registration."

Zhang Lexuan smiled and said.

"Hehe, Sister Lexuan, you've become even more beautiful than before!"

Ji Lin said with a grin.

"You're so glib. I knew you weren't a good person the first time we met. I wonder how many good girls you'll ruin in the future."

Zhang Lexuan tapped Ji Lin's forehead with her index finger in annoyance, but the corners of her mouth still unconsciously turned up.

Clearly, what she said was different from what she actually felt; she was still quite happy inside.

"Hehe, Sister Lexuan, let's hurry up and register. You have to show me around Shrek Academy this time."

Ji Lin chuckled foolishly and changed the subject, knowing this was a potentially disastrous question.

Zhang Lexuan looked at Ji Lin with amusement. She could tell that Ji Lin was changing the subject, but she didn't press the matter further and turned to take Ji Lin to register.

At the east gate, a dozen or so young men and women of similar age stood guard, each dressed in a yellow outfit with a green pattern on their chest. This was the uniform of second and third-year students from Shrek Academy's outer courtyard.

Upon seeing Zhang Lexuan arrive with Ji Lin, several outer court disciples quickly stood up and respectfully asked, "Senior Sister, what are your instructions?"

They didn't know Zhang Lexuan; they only knew she was a senior student in the inner academy, so they treated her with respect.

At Shrek Academy, the status of inner court disciples is even higher than that of outer court teachers, so it is natural for these outer court students to act this way.

Zhang Lexuan said gently, "I brought my younger brother to participate in the test, so you don't need to worry about me."

"The younger brother of the senior student in the inner academy doesn't need to take the test. Just submit the recommendation letter and he can enroll directly."

These outer court disciples are very perceptive. Since they were brought by an inner court senior, their age and soul power level must be up to standard. All they need is a letter of recommendation.

Zhang Lexuan shook her head and said, "Let's follow the procedure and test it out."

She had great confidence in Ji Lin and saw no need to make an exception for him, lest people gossip.

"OK."

The students at the registration desk immediately handed the crystal ball for testing soul power to Ji Lin.

Ji Lin handed over the letter of recommendation, registered his information, condensed his soul power in his palm, placed it on the crystal ball, and then injected the soul power into a blue crystal ball.

The blue crystal ball glowed brightly before shattering into pieces.

"This...this...this...soul power above level 30, what kind of monster is this?!"

For freshmen, the entrance test only requires proving that their soul power exceeds level 15 to complete the test.

This crystal ball, used to test soul power, can only detect up to level 30 soul power. If the level exceeds 30, the crystal ball cannot withstand it and will shatter.

At this moment, both the newly enrolled students and the current students were all staring at Ji Lin in shock.

Ji Lin smiled and said, "Senior, did I pass the test?"
