Douluo: Yun Ming in the Spirit Hall Era

Chapter 38 First Encounter with Tang Shenwang

Just as Yun Ming noticed the three people in front of the group, his unique aura also caught the attention of the blue-clad youth among them.

The blue-clad youth turned to look at Yun Ming, and their eyes met, both feeling a strange flutter in their hearts!

The boy in blue's absent-mindedness quickly caught the attention of the girl in pink beside him. As she spoke, she also looked into the boy's eyes.

"Third Brother, what are you looking at..."

Then she saw the young man at the very back of the line, dressed in white brocade robes, handsome and refined.

It has to be said that this is the first time in all the years Xiao Wu has been in the human world that she has seen such a handsome young man. No, how can he compare to the truly ordinary 'Third Brother' beside her? His skin is so fair, he's not inferior to her at all! Thinking of this, Xiao Wu cursed under her breath.

"Sissy!"

The blue-clad youth known as "Third Brother" is none other than Tang San, the protagonist of Douluo Continent, the beloved young Sea God, and also known as Tang God King and Tang Buddha.

Tang San snapped out of his daze upon hearing his sister's words and reprimanded her in a low voice.

"Xiao Wu!"

However, judging from Tang San's expression, it was clear that form outweighed substance.

Yun Ming, who had been scolded, naturally came to his senses, his brows furrowing slightly, but he didn't say much. Although he disliked the girl named Xiao Wu's behavior, it didn't warrant going up and beating her up.

Before Yun Ming and Tang San could make any further moves, Shrek Academy's admissions process was thrown into chaos again.

The father of one of the students registering ahead of him couldn't help but shout angrily, "You're clearly ripping us off! Refund our registration fees, or we're not leaving! If we'd known this so-called Shrek Academy was this awful, we shouldn't have come!"

Through the whispers of the parents in the group, Yunming learned what had happened.

The situation arose because a student paid the registration fee but failed the test and couldn't get a refund.

The old man in front glanced at the father and said indifferently, "Hongjun, someone wants a reward for your name. Take care of it."

Unlike the original timeline, this time the henchman is Ma Hongjun, since Dai Mubai only broke his leg a few days ago and won't recover so quickly!

Suddenly, a bulky figure sprang out from the ground beside them. The person was a fat man with a head of red hair styled in a mohawk and two small mustaches. The fat man spoke.

"If you want a refund for the name fee, fine. If you can beat me, I'll return it all."

This person was Ma Hongjun. Yun Ming hadn't seen him before because he was sitting to the side and blocked by the crowd.

Without wasting words, Ma Hongjun immediately activated his soul power, releasing two hundred-year soul rings simultaneously. The surging soul power immediately released intense heat, generating invisible heat waves in the air, and his small eyes, burning with purple flames, looked at the father and son.

When Yun Ming saw that the Shrek Academy students were indeed engaging in such blatant acts of plunder and robbery as rumored in Soto City, a strange mix of emotions welled up within him again: contempt, shame, and anger.

Moreover, this time it wasn't just inexplicable emotions, but also Yun Ming's true feelings. For the first time under these circumstances, Yun Ming's emotions from both lifetimes resonated with each other. Yun Ming stepped forward and said in a deep voice.

"Fine! I'll beat you, then you give me my money back!"

"Dare you?"

As he spoke, the Sky-Piercing Spear appeared in Yun Ming's hand, and he raised the spear, pointing it directly at Ma Hongjun.

When Ma Hongjun saw Yun Ming, who had a handsome face, he was about to lash out.

However, when he saw the transparent, ethereal Sky-Piercing Spear in the other person's hand and the fact that there were no spirit rings under his feet, he recalled the warning his teacher Flander had given him three days ago, as well as the miserable state of Dai Mubai's broken leg.

He couldn't help but shudder. If Boss Dai had been dealt with so badly, wouldn't he be in even worse shape?! For a moment, even the Phoenix Evil Flame couldn't warm him anymore.

The old man at the wooden table, Li Yusong, was also taken aback when he saw Yun Ming reveal his martial spirit. He knew far more than Ma Hongjun; he already knew about Zhao Wuji.

Moreover, according to Lao Zhao, if Li Yusong were to fight this kid to the death, he might be killed. Although he didn't quite believe it, Lao Zhao's miserable state was right in front of him. It was said that he would need three months of rest to fully recover from his injuries!

Seeing that Yun Ming looked ready to take action immediately, Li Yusong stepped forward and said something like a belated attempt to salvage the situation.

"Alright! Stop arguing. Consider this a warning!"

As he spoke, he tossed ten gold soul coins to the father and son.

Then he gave an explanation of the origin of the name Shrek Academy and a clear explanation of the basic registration requirements. He also summoned his Martial Soul, showed off his Soul Rings, and flaunted his Soul Emperor cultivation level.

In the original timeline, Li Yusong did the same thing after collecting registration fees from two people. However, this time, with Yun Ming's appearance, Li Yusong acted ahead of time.

After hearing Li Yusong's words, most of the parents showed regret on their faces and silently left with their children. The queue, which originally numbered over a hundred, was reduced to only a dozen or so applicants in the blink of an eye.

Li Yusong didn't care about the number of students. He hadn't mentioned it before because of Flander's demands—to swindle some money and alleviate the academy's financial crisis. Otherwise, as a Soul Emperor, he had a sense of shame; why would he do such a thing?

After dealing with this minor incident, Li Yusong said to Yun Ming.

"The dean has already given instructions. You're going in too!"

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Seeing that Ma Hongjun had also backed down and the matter was resolved, Yun Ming didn't think about making another move. He withdrew his martial soul and headed towards the interior of Shrek Academy.

Seeing that Yun Ming was alright and even swaggered into Shrek Academy, Xiao Wu commented with dissatisfaction.

"That guy was about to fight with their students, how come it's over already?!"

Xiao Wu felt it was unsatisfying that it ended so abruptly. However, when she thought about what Li Yusong had just said about Shrek Academy's admissions philosophy, Wu Taijun felt...

"But this academy is really interesting, especially the teacher's line about only accepting monsters and not ordinary people. That was so cool."

Tang San watched Yun Ming's departing figure with an unreadable expression. He felt that Yun Ming's actions were somewhat excessive; it was clearly one of the other applicants who hadn't understood the rules before coming. This was the academy recommended by Grandmaster after he had rejected invitations from all other academies, and Tang San felt it should be different.

Besides Tang Buddha and Wu Taijun, there is another well-known Soul Nth Generation character who finds it increasingly interesting.

Upon entering the village, Yunming saw nothing but wooden buildings; the words "simple and unpretentious" best describe the architecture here.

After walking a short distance, Yun Ming arrived at an open space, which was about 500 square meters in size.

Just then, a soft, weak voice rang out.

"Sausages for sale! Sausages for sale! Take a look, don't miss out! Oscar brand sausages, delicious and sweet. Cheap and plentiful. Only five copper coins a sausage. Eating Oscar brand sausages guarantees you'll pass your entrance exams more easily."

Yun Ming turned his head and saw a person pushing a small cart and hawking his wares.

A person stood behind the cart, wearing a simple gray jacket, about the same height as Yun Ming. He had neat short hair, a full beard, but large, captivating eyes; he was a... no, a young man with thick hair.

This person is none other than Oscar, the first Food-type Title Douluo in the future Douluo Continent. He is one of the true geniuses of the contemporary Douluo Continent.

Yun Ming sensed a strange fluctuation of soul power emanating from the stall and went to investigate.

As he approached, Yunming saw a wooden board nailed to the car with four words carved on it: Sausage Specialty Store.

As soon as Oscar saw Yun Ming approach, he enthusiastically asked, "Sir, would you like a sausage? Oscar brand sausages, honest and delicious, and inexpensive!"
