Peerless Tang Sect: God Emperor Haotian

"Are you all from Shrek Academy?" Li Mu asked tentatively.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of his old friends standing nearby subtly changed.

"Not bad." Xuanzi, dressed in gray cloth, nodded, enjoying his food while casually asking, "How did you figure that out?"

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Li Mu and his old friends exchanged glances, all seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.

Li Mu quickly bowed respectfully and explained, "You must be a senior from the academy. The thing is, I once studied at Shrek Academy and had the opportunity to see this kind of school uniform once by chance. It is said that only inner court students are qualified to wear it, so it left a deep impression on me and I have kept it in mind all these years."

Now it was Xuanzi and the others who were surprised, and even Ma Xiaotao looked in his direction.

Ye Sen was equally surprised; he was unaware that Li Mu had this experience in his youth.

Xuanzi raised an eyebrow, a look of surprise on his face, and asked, "You actually stayed at Shrek Academy? You're not lying to me, are you?"

"I wouldn't dare!"

Li Mu quickly shook his head, then carefully took out a small box from his storage soul tool, and then took out a badge from it.

Xuanzi reached out and grabbed the badge from a distance. He glanced at it and nodded, saying, "Yes, it is indeed the badge of an outer court student, but it looks quite old."

"You're so old and only at the Soul King level? You probably didn't graduate from the outer academy, did you?"

Having his secret exposed by Xuanzi at a glance, Li Mu immediately gave an awkward, bitter smile and said, "I'm ashamed to say that nothing can be hidden from you, senior. To be honest, we were all friends who entered Shrek Academy in the same year, but we were eliminated in our third year because we didn't graduate from the outer academy."

"I never expected to run into a senior from the academy here after so many decades. What a coincidence!"

As he spoke, the wry smile on Li Mu's face gradually turned into respect.

With the development of the times, Shrek Academy is now almost like a holy land in the hearts of most people on the Douluo Continent, especially in the hearts of people like Li Mu who were once members of Shrek Academy.

Upon learning that Li Mu and the others had also been members of Shrek Academy, Xuanzi's attitude immediately softened considerably. His gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Ye Sen, and he asked, "So many of you came out together just to help this kid obtain a spirit ring?"

"Exactly."

Li Mu nodded quickly and replied, "After leaving the academy, the few of us traveled around the continent. Eventually, I returned to my hometown, Xuanming City, and became a teacher at the Mingshui Soul Master Academy, where I was trained. I eventually rose to the position of dean. This child is the most talented child our Mingshui Soul Master Academy has ever had since its establishment."

"The best?"

Hearing the other party's evaluation, Xuanzi finally took a serious look at Ye Sen.

It was this glance that caused a look of surprise to appear on his face for the first time.

"Level 30 Soul Power"

"Judging from the signs of life, he's not even ten years old..."

"A Soul Master under ten years old?"

Xuanzi's voice grew increasingly surprised. He had been completely absorbed by the aroma of the roasted meat and hadn't noticed Ye Sen at all. Only now, when the topic shifted to Ye Sen, did he realize that this young man was not only a talent for roasting meat, but also a talent among talents in cultivation!

He was a Soul Master who was less than ten years old. He had lived for nearly two hundred years and, to be honest, he had never seen many of them. This shows how valuable he was.

Seeing that Xuanzi had seen through his secrets at a glance, Ye Sen was also shocked. Was this the real powerhouse?

He could tell my age and cultivation level with just a glance!

Meanwhile, Zhang Lexuan and the other two were also shocked. After Xuanzi said that Ye Sen had level 30 soul power at less than ten years old, their eyes never left Ye Sen, scrutinizing him as if he were some rare object.

"Forehead!"

"I know I'm a genius, but I get embarrassed when you all stare at me like this," Ye Sen said with a light cough, feeling a little uncomfortable being observed.

His handsome, slightly immature face, combined with his serious tone, gave off a quirky vibe.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo immediately showed strange expressions.

Ma Xiaotao then approached Ye Sen and said casually, "What's there to be embarrassed about when a real man just glances at you?"

Looking at Ma Xiaotao, who had such a tomboyish demeanor, Ye Sen couldn't help but twitch his lips.

At the same time, Xuanzi's voice rang out again: "Judging from the large mobilization you've made, you must lack confidence in helping this child obtain a soul ring."

"How about this? It's fate that we met here, and I won't eat your barbecue for nothing. We'll help this child obtain a spirit ring, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, Li Mu and the others were immediately taken aback.

Ye Sen also subconsciously looked at Xuanzi.

As far as he knew, Xuanzi was a domineering and notoriously unreasonable person, and he did not possess the admirable quality of being helpful.

Ye Sen quickly realized that Xuanzi might want to take this opportunity to demonstrate his strength and then invite him to Shrek Academy.

It must be said that Ye Sen's ability to guess people's thoughts is very accurate, and Xuanzi was indeed holding this idea at this moment.

Although Shrek Academy has strong teaching capabilities, the title of the best in the continent cannot be supported by mediocre Soul Masters. Therefore, even Shrek Academy greatly needs true geniuses.

Li Mu and his old friends exchanged glances, and then quickly said, "That would be perfect. We'll have to trouble you then, senior."

"Um."

Xuanzi nodded, then looked at Ye Sen and said, "Little guy, we'll help you acquire a spirit ring tomorrow. Shouldn't you prepare plenty of roasted meat for us to eat first, so we can have enough strength?"

"All right."

Ye Sen nodded.

Because of his high standards for spirit rings, he did lack confidence in the strength of Li Mu and the others on this trip.

Now, if someone volunteers to help me obtain a spirit ring, no one with a sound mind would refuse.

As for the other party's purpose in doing so, Ye Sen did not consider it at the moment, because the other party did not put forward any additional conditions, so he naturally did not need to do so.

After a hearty meal and a night's rest, the group continued their journey the next day.

Xuanzi did not let Li Mu and the others join the team, but instead told them to wait where they were, and only took Ye Sen, who needed a soul ring, with him.

Li Mu and the others naturally had no objection to this. Putting aside the fact that Xuanzi was a respected senior from Shrek Academy, no one wanted to venture deep into the perilous Star Dou Great Forest unless absolutely necessary.

And so, Ye Sen changed teams and followed the Shrek Academy's Soul Hunting Team into the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Le Xuan, keep a close eye on this boy," Xuan Zi instructed Zhang Le Xuan.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan nodded slightly, then called Ye Sen to her side and asked, "Little brother Ye Sen, tell us about your needs for spirit rings."
