Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 29 - Getting Drunk

The style inside Shrek Academy is completely different from that of Shrek City. The academy is beautifully landscaped, and the wide avenues are planted with various meticulously manicured plants of different shapes, making it a beautiful sight.

Along the way, the senior student who was leading the way seemed to be curious about such a young genius, but out of courtesy, she introduced the two of them to the glorious deeds and relevant regulations of Shrek Academy as they walked, her words full of pride and boasting.

Qian Renxue's face was cold, and her expression was unreadable. However, after spending several years together, Qian Lingyun could naturally tell that something was wrong. She leaned over and took Qian Renxue's forearm, whispering, "Sister, don't be angry. These are just statues. I'll blow them up with soul-guided fixed-position bullets sooner or later."

"Do I look like someone who's that easily agitated? A statue is just an inanimate object."

As she spoke, Qian Renxue raised her other hand and scratched Qian Lingyun's chin with her index finger, soothingly saying, "Judging from your expression, do you really think I'm out of my mind?"

"Isn't that right? The you I remember didn't have such a big heart," Qian Lingyun said, feigning surprise, even puffing out her chest!

"You brat!" Qian Renxue grabbed Qian Lingyun's ear fiercely, enunciating each word clearly: "I—am—very—calm!"

"I'm panicking! I'm panicking!"

Even though her ears were still under Qian Renxue's clutches, Qian Lingyun still grimaced and complained.

"You enrolled with such a conspicuous spirit ring right from the start. Aren't you afraid Shrek Academy won't let us leave later?"

As if she had thought of something, Qian Renxue released her grip on Qian Lingyun's ear and asked softly.

"If I dare to show this kind of spirit ring, I'm not afraid the two of us won't be able to leave!"

As she spoke, a faint gray, dark light emanated from Qian Lingyun's right hand, and she confidently said, "Although I've only developed this ability to a very limited extent, it's still enough for escaping."

"Is it really that amazing!" Qian Renxue glanced at Qian Lingyun with some skepticism, but ultimately suppressed her curiosity.

After walking and joking around for a while, the three of them saw ten huge stone sculptures made of granite along the main road. These statues were all ten meters high.

The first three statues, two men and one woman, represent the Golden Iron Triangle from ten thousand years ago: Liu Erlong, Yu Xiaogang, and Flander. As for the seven statues behind them, they represent the original Shrek Seven Devils.

Qian Renxue coldly stared at the statues with her beautiful eyes, but the hand holding Qian Lingyun's wrist tightened its grip unnaturally.

Although Qian Lingyun felt pain in her hand, she didn't say anything to remind her. After all, no matter how much Qian Renxue wanted to forget about the golden liquid, it was still the deepest thorn in her heart.

Fortunately, it seems that Qian Renxue was unaware that the Shrek Seven Devils had witnessed this, otherwise, Qian Lingyun dared not even imagine what would have happened to her.

Coming to her senses, Qian Renxue realized that she had just been holding Qian Lingyun's wrist. She released her grip as if she had been electrocuted, and when she looked down, she saw the purplish handprint on Qian Lingyun's wrist.

"I'm sorry, I lost my composure!" Qian Renxue lowered her head apologetically.

"Hehe, this matter can't be resolved without a week's worth of late-night snacks," Qian Lingyun glanced at Qian Renxue and pouted.

"Okay, not just a week, a month is fine too," Qian Lingyun said, grabbing Qian Renxue's hand and giggling, "It's a deal then! A month's worth of midnight snacks, no backing out!"

Qian Renxue: "..."

The three statues in front, the one in the very center is an old man, wearing glasses, with a smiling face, of medium build and slightly plump, who looks like a nice gentleman.

The statue of Yu Xiaogang looks like a somewhat thin middle-aged man, while Liu Erlong is a graceful middle-aged woman.

Seeing this, Qian Lingyun, trying to lighten the awkward atmosphere, whispered, "Guess why there's no statue of Zhao Wuji here?"

"Why?" Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow.

"It is said that... the test on the day Tang San and his friends entered the school was organized by Zhao Wuji, and he, a Soul Saint, beat Tang San and his friends up."

"That brainless rabbit doesn't even know that the charm skill can backfire when faced with a strong opponent, yet it stupidly throws itself forward!"

"And then?!" Qian Renxue asked again. Now, the murderous intent in her eyes had clearly faded a lot, and one could even vaguely see curiosity and a smile in them.

"Then, the rabbit fainted, and as soon as the rabbit collapsed, Tang San went berserk and unleashed his full power, right?" Qian Lingyun said gleefully. "Although they passed the test, everyone was beaten black and blue. Zhao Wuji was even called to the woods by Tang Hao and beaten up."

"Pfft..." Qian Renxue covered her lips and burst out laughing.

The senior student leading the way turned around with a puzzled look and saw Qian Renxue covering her mouth and secretly laughing. She thought she had said something wrong and made a fool of herself in front of the freshmen.

"It's okay, senior, you can talk. We... isn't there an old saying that a smile makes you ten years younger? Smiling more can improve your facial contours and beautify your skin. Really, I'm not lying to you!" Qian Lingyun started talking nonsense without changing her expression.

Strangely enough, after listening to Qian Lingyun's words, the senior student looked at the two sisters' looks, thought for a while, and actually nodded in deep agreement.

"The Golden Trio and the first generation of Shrek Seven Devils laid the foundation for Shrek Academy. In the ten thousand years since, countless outstanding geniuses and powerful figures have emerged from Shrek Academy, yet there are only ten statues here, never more." Out of professional ethics, the girl leading the way finished her explanation…

Continuing from the statue, the road remains wide enough for four or five carriages to travel side by side, with a sign indicating "Lakeside Path".

Through the shady green trees on the right, one can vaguely see a wide expanse of water. In other words, behind the ten statues of the Golden Triangle and the Shrek Seven Devils, there is a huge lake.

Following the lakeside path south for almost fifteen minutes, it was time to turn west. After another fifteen minutes, the path began to narrow, and a wide rectangular plaza came into view. A sign for Shrek Plaza also appeared nearby.

Behind Shrek Square stood rows of tall school buildings, each a different color, primarily white, yellow, purple, and black. Looking further north from Shrek Square, one could see a cluster of gray school buildings.

The girl leading the way explained, "Junior girls, you'll be splitting up here. The one with more colorful buildings is the Martial Soul Branch, while the one with the monotonous gray teaching buildings is the Soul Guidance Branch. These are the two main branches of Shrek Academy, both of which are outer academies."

"Relatively speaking, the Spirit Academy is larger, while the Soul Guidance Academy is smaller. The Spirit Academy also has many departments. We need to register at the Spirit Academy first. Only after passing the first freshman assessment will we be eligible to register for the Soul Guidance Academy."

Finally, after turning at several intersections, the three arrived at the foot of a white building. The senior student led them to the building entrance and said softly, "Junior girls, look, this is your dormitory building."

"You can go to your rooms and tidy up your things, then head back to the teaching building to see your classrooms. At this time, the teachers are usually in the classrooms! I'm going back to pick up the other new female students."

After saying this, the girl bowed to the old man in front of the door, turned around and went back to the admissions office along the way she came.

The old man at the door was wearing a gray coat, his face was covered with deep wrinkles, his eyes were dim, and he was lying on a wooden chair, looking very comfortable.

The two approached the old man in gray. He opened his cloudy eyes, glanced at them, and said, "Newborns? Two sisters?"

Knowing exactly who the old man was, Qian Lingyun glanced at Qian Renxue subtly, forced a charming smile, and replied, "Yes, grandpa, my sister and I would like to ask where our dormitory is?"

The old man in gray nodded and extended his palm. "Young lady, show me your keys and badges."

Qian Renxue stepped forward and handed the old man the badges that had been given to the two of them earlier. The old man took them, glanced at them, and returned them to them. "Dormitory 505, the third room on the left on the fifth floor. The fourth floor and below are the boys' dormitories. Do not linger in the boys' dormitories."

"Oh! Thank you, grandpa."

After thanking her, the two rushed to the door of dormitory 505 as if competing with each other. Qian Renxue turned the key and opened the dormitory door, and a stale smell immediately hit them.

"Cough cough..." The two coughed twice, choked by the dust that rushed out from inside the door.

Using the light, Qian Renxue glanced briefly at the furnishings in the room and fell silent…

Qian Lingyun walked into the room, ran her finger across the table, and fell silent as she looked at the black finger.

The room was only ten square meters. Two somewhat worn beds took up most of the space. Apart from that, there was only a table, two wardrobes, and a chandelier hanging from the ceiling. There was a protruding device next to the door, which was the switch for the light. Moreover, there was no private bathroom in the room.

The restroom is at the end of the corridor and is a shared facility.

The two sisters didn't say a word during the cleaning; they just focused on their work. After all, no matter how much dust was in the room, it couldn't compare to the dust in the tomb…

Because the space was small, the two of them cleaned the room in about 15 minutes.

After spreading out the bedding, Qian Renxue closed the door, while Qian Lingyun opened the window for ventilation. The two sat on their respective beds, looking at each other's sweaty faces and unable to suppress their laughter.

In the original Douluo Continent I, the first dean and vice dean of Shrek Academy were Flander and Zhao Wuji.

Since merging with Liu Erlong's Blue Tyrant Academy, Flander has been the dean, but it has not been explicitly stated that Liu Erlong is the vice dean. After all, Liu Erlong spends all her time cuddling with Yu Xiaogang and has no time to manage affairs. Therefore, it is possible that Zhao Wuji will continue to be the vice dean, given his strength.

Since there's no statue of him, I can only assume that... he beat up Tang Buddha, but to highlight Tang Buddha's greatness, I can't add him.
