The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 59 Shrek's Fraudulent Gang

"Young Master, Shrek Academy, which you asked me to inquire about, is about to start enrolling students." Aunt Xue walked into the dormitory with a stack of brochures in her hand. "Why are you concerned about a village-run academy?"

Li Xun chuckled: "Aunt Xue, I heard that this academy only accepts monsters, so I'm a little curious."

"Young Master, you don't want to join this academy, do you?"

Aunt Xue looked puzzled and spread out the documents in front of Li Xun one by one: "I advise you to give up this idea. This academy seems a bit shady. Their motto is 'Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre.' But they probably don't know the next line: 'Those who go looking for trouble are fools.'"

"According to the information I've collected, the mortality rate at this village-run academy is still very high. Since its establishment, it has enrolled a total of 64 outstanding students, but only 14 have graduated. The rest either died while hunting soul beasts or were forced to withdraw from the academy before the age of 20 because their soul power had not reached level 40."

Li Xun feigned surprise and quickly picked up the documents on the table: "Aunt Xue, why are there still students enrolling in this academy with such a low mortality and graduation rate?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing became very curious and stopped their cultivation to gather around the table.

This was the first time they had ever heard of an academy suffering more than half of its students dead or injured. Was this academy raising poisonous insects?

"Because they are engaging in false advertising."

Aunt Xue frowned slightly, pulled out a yellow page from a pile of documents, and handed it to Li Xun: "According to the information, Shrek Academy has not registered its establishment qualifications in any kingdom or empire."

Furthermore, Shrek's teachers are suspected of deceiving their students.

According to their own propaganda, the fourteen graduates of Shrek Academy all became world-renowned figures after leaving the academy, with the most outstanding among them becoming the youngest elder of the Spirit Hall, second only to the Pope in status.

At this point, Aunt Xue gave a cold laugh: "Perhaps I'm just ignorant, but I've never heard of any of the big shots from Shrek Academy."

"And do you know what level someone's status is second only to the Pope? They would have to be at least at the Super Douluo level, and I only know of two elders, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, who are at that level."

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing looked surprised. Wasn't this just a fraudulent academy?

"How can anyone believe such exaggerated claims?" Li Xun frowned, looking puzzled.

"My young master, there are always some people in this world who aren't very bright; they believe whatever others say." Aunt Xue sneered, "They only realize their mistake after being truly deceived, but unfortunately, it's too late. Those students who died didn't even have a chance to regret it."

Ning Rongrong covered her mouth in surprise, and after calming down, she said, "Aunt Xue, shouldn't the graduation requirement for Shrek Academy be level 40 Soul Master? Shouldn't the Soul Ring obtained at that level be a thousand-year-old one?"

"Does this academy's teachers not even have the ability to hunt down thousand-year-old soul beasts?"

Li Xun was also taken aback by Ning Rongrong's thought-provoking question. When did this girl develop a brain?

That's not good.

Aunt Xue gave a cold laugh and found Shrek Academy's faculty list in the documents: "The reason why this trash academy can deceive students into enrolling is not only because of its external publicity, but also because of its faculty strength."

"Shrek Academy has three Soul Saints and two Soul Emperors. The three Soul Saints are Flander, the Four-Eyed Cat Owl, level 78; Zhao Wuji, the Immovable King, level 75; and Shao Xin, the Candy Bean, level 71."

"The two Soul Emperors are Li Yusong, a level 63 Dragon Pattern Staff user, and Lu Qibin, a level 66 Star Luo Chess user."

Zhu Zhuqing frowned: "With this kind of teaching staff, they're more than capable of hunting ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts. Don't these teachers escort their students to obtain soul rings?"

"Miss Zhuqing, if Shrek Academy truly had teachers who cared about the lives of their students, the mortality rate wouldn't be so high." Aunt Xue sighed, "Alas! These children will only realize what they're about to face once they enter the academy."

"If he's lucky enough to survive and graduate, then congratulations to this fortunate individual; he will become what the academy publicly calls an elite student!"

Ning Rongrong was amused by the last sentence: "Then aren't these people so stupid that they'd be fooled and still help the scammers count their money?"

"That's really silly." Li Xun nodded at Ning Rongrong. "Don't worry, Aunt Xue, I won't join Shrek Academy. I just have something to take care of."

"You can decide for yourself, but I have one more thing to say. This academy is terribly poor; they can't even guarantee the students' nutritional meals. I don't know how lazy these teachers are." Aunt Xue nodded disdainfully.

She said all this to give Li Xun a heads-up. After all, young people like Li Xun are most easily provoked to have a competitive spirit, and Shrek Academy's propaganda is so exaggerated, as if you're not a monster if you don't enter this academy.

"By the way, young master, this is the information you asked me to collect about blacksmiths near Holy Soul Village." Aunt Xue peeled a stack of documents from the stack and placed it in front of Li Xun.

After Aunt Xue left, Li Xun organized the documents.

Ignoring the blacksmith's information, which he was preparing as a pretext for future actions, he picked up Shrek's files instead.

The reason he was so concerned was mainly because of Tang Hao and his son, and secondly because of Dai Mubai.

Li Xun and Tang San are the same age. If he remembers correctly, Tang San entered Shrek Academy at the age of twelve. He doesn't care about Tang San or Shrek Academy; Li Xun's main targets are Tang Hao and the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone.

In Li Xun's memory, Tang Hao first left the vicinity of Holy Soul Village around this time. Tang Hao escorted Tang San to school and beat up Zhao Wuji.

He wanted to take advantage of the time while Tang Hao was escorting Tang San to go out into the wild and pick up a piece of unclaimed 100,000-year-old soul bone.

"Brother, are you really going to Shrek Academy?" Ning Rongrong stared at Li Xun with her big, watery eyes.

Even Zhu Zhuqing looked at him curiously. After learning about Shrek Academy's many misdeeds, the two of them couldn't understand what else this academy could attract Li Xun to.

"Take a look at this," Li Xun said with a smile, handing a document to Zhu Zhuqing.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Zhu Zhuqing took the information with a puzzled look, and frowned after reading it.

Seeing this, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but poke her head in curiously: "Hey! Dai Mubai? Isn't that the prince who's engaged to Zhu Qing?"

"Tsk tsk, what a playboy prince! And this Ma Hongjun is even worse!"

This paper clearly records the information of Shrek Academy's current genius students, including Yu Tianheng, Ye Lingling, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar.

Ye Lingling and the others didn't care, but the other three members of Shrek Academy successfully caught their attention.

Among them, Dai Mubai is the most outstanding. According to the information, he is already a well-known playboy in Soto City. He is extremely generous to women and never pesters them after a breakup.

In his words, women aren't considered part of the population, but rather a resource. If there's no more resource, you can always find another one.

The information also shows that Dai Mubai goes on three dates a day on average with different beautiful women, and is a regular VIP at the Rose Hotel in the city.

And no matter how fully booked the hotel is, they always reserve a room for him. Recently, he even met up with two sisters, and the three of them have been going in and out together for a week.

The information about Ma Hongjun is outrageous.

This shows that his martial spirit is called the Evil Fire Phoenix, which has a significant flaw: he is frequently plagued by evil fire. And the way he releases this evil fire is by having sex with a woman in the dark.

This led him to become a regular at brothels.

It's understandable that the information has reached this point, since it involves life and death and no one can do anything about it.

But this guy probably matured too early and has already developed a taste for it. Whenever he sees a woman, he will go up to her and flirt with her, his eyes darting around.

More importantly, his Soul Saint-level teacher seemed to be condoning this, which made him even more unscrupulous in the surrounding area.
