Douluo Continent: Reborn as Tang San's Cousin

Chapter 35 Stealing Shrek's Talents (Part 1)

When Tang Nianxiao and Xiao Wu finally arrived at Tang San and Grandmaster's place, they noticed that Grandmaster's eyes were red.

"What happened?" Tang Nianxiao asked Tang San.

Tang San shook his head with a complicated expression. "It's nothing, Teacher just ran into an old friend."

Can he say that he watched a middle-aged man who had blackmailed him cry while hugging his teacher?

old friend?

Tang Nianxiao was stunned for a moment, and a figure flashed through her mind. Had she encountered this beforehand?

"Alright, there's an academy here that's recruiting students. Come with me." The master coughed lightly, changing the subject.

Xiao Wu pouted, puzzled. "Didn't you say you were just coming to take a look? Why are you going to the academy?"

She tugged at Tang Nianxiao's clothes privately, "Besides, don't we have an academy?"

Tang Nianxiao stroked his chin. "Being an exchange student isn't bad either."

Xiao Wu surrendered, "Fine, you decide."

The group headed south of Soto.

"Look, there's a small village over there."

Xiao Wu pointed to a spot not far ahead, her eyes shining, "There are so many people queuing up over there! It's so lively! Shall we go take a look?"

Tang Nianxiao and the others nodded and stepped forward.

Upon closer inspection, the group realized something was amiss.

There were indeed quite a few people gathered at the village entrance, but most of them were teenagers of similar age, accompanied by their elders.

At one side of the village entrance, there was a table, and behind the table sat an elderly man in his sixties.

To their astonishment, a somewhat dilapidated plaque hung on the archway at the village entrance.

It says "Shrek Academy" on it.

"What the hell? This is Shrek Academy?" Xiao Wu's eyes widened, and she exclaimed in disbelief.

She looked the plaque and the village up and down with suspicion, wanting to know what was so special about Shrek Academy.

Tang Nianxiao stood there calmly.

Aside from having slightly better teaching staff than typical Soul Master academies, there doesn't seem to be anything particularly special about it.

In the original story, if it weren't for Tang San and his outstanding children, Shrek Academy probably wouldn't have become so well-known.

However, the teachers at the Spirit Hall Academy were indeed a bit lacking.

It would be great if Shrek Academy could be merged into the Spirit Hall Academy.

At the very least, they can seize control of Bibi Dong's strongest source of Soul Master damage.

Although Tang Nianxiao has not been at the Spirit Hall Academy in recent years, he has done a lot.

However, because of his young age, many things could only be done in secret.

Of course, there's another point: his strength isn't enough yet. If he wants to compete with Bibi Dong, he'll have to endure for a while.

Among the people queuing on the side, some were also complaining.

"Are you kidding me? Is this the academy that claims to make you an Imperial Viscount upon graduation?"

He was a boy's father, and he said with a frown, somewhat uncertainly.

"That should be right, right? That's what everyone in the Spirit Hall in Soto City is saying."

Tang Nianxiao silently memorized the name of the Spirit Hall in Soto City.

The people in this secondary palace need to be properly "trained".

Those who want to apply to Shrek Academy all believe they are geniuses.

Although we don't know their true strength, they are definitely someone with good potential and ability among ordinary people.

Such a promising Soul Master is not recommended to go to the Spirit Hall Academy.

We must provide them with proper "training" so they understand what performance and results are!

"Dad, this college is so shabby! I don't want to study here, it's too embarrassing!"

"My dear son, since we're already here, why not wait and see? Maybe this is just a test?"

When the word "test" was mentioned, those around him looked enlightened.

"Yeah, maybe it's a test!"

"Otherwise, why would there be so many people in line? Let's wait and see."

Tang Nianxiao's gaze did not linger on these people for long; instead, she turned to look at the registration table.

The old man sitting behind the table, though simply dressed, exuded an aura that suggested he was no ordinary person.

"Registration fee: 10 Gold Soul Coins."

A boy put 10 gold soul coins into a box next to him.

The old man squeezed his hand, frowned, and said, "You're not old enough, you can go now."

The boy was taken aback. "I just turned 13 today, or more accurately, I'm still 12!"

The old man said somewhat impatiently, "13 years old is 13 years old. We only accept children under 13. Once they reach 13, we do not accept them."

"Of course, if someone can beat someone, even if they are 13 years old, they can be admitted despite not meeting the age requirement."

The boy was about to get angry, but upon hearing those words, he suddenly felt confident in his abilities.

The latest novel is first published here!

"Okay, I accept. After all, I'm a genius in my area too..."

His voice gradually faded.

Then, he saw a boy with double pupils, wearing three spirit rings, walking over with a sinister look in his eyes.

Those three soul rings, one representing two centuries and the other one representing a millennium, released surging pressure in the air.

"Hun, Soul Lord?!"

The boy was stunned. He had to defeat a Soul Master at the age of 13 to be admitted to the school?

"Are you all crazy? How is this possible?!" the boy shouted in disbelief.

"Oh, what's impossible about it!"

Xiao Wu raised her head and took a step forward.

Two yellow and one purple spirit rings rose from beneath her feet.

Another Soul Master.

Moreover, judging from her appearance, she seemed to be much younger than that boy with double pupils.

When Dai Mubai saw Xiao Wu, he was startled and stared at her for a moment, then smiled and winked at her.

The old man stood up from behind the table and addressed the people queuing behind him.

"Before you enroll in Shrek Academy, you need to understand the rules."

"Our Shrek Academy only accepts monsters. If you are over thirteen years old or your soul power is not above level twenty-one, you don't need to waste your time here."

As he spoke, an incomparably powerful aura suddenly erupted from the old man's body.

A long stick with fine patterns appeared in his hand.

At the same time, six spirit rings rose from beneath his feet: one white, one yellow, three purple, and one black.

This old man, who looked like an ordinary farmer, was actually a Soul Emperor level super strongman of level 60 or above!

Seeing the shocked looks on the faces of everyone who had come to register, the old man withdrew his spirit rings, turned to look at Xiao Wu, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face.

"Of course, if someone is like her, with a soul power level exceeding 30 and an age not exceeding 15, they can be admitted exceptionally."

"How old are you?" he asked, looking at Xiaowu.

Xiao Wu stuck out her tongue. "Me? I'm 12 years old."

Those who had signed up were shocked again, looking at Xiao Wu in disbelief.

Soon, most of the parents showed sighs on their faces, wanting to leave with their children.

But at that moment, Tang Nianxiao stepped forward.

"Please don't rush off, everyone. Shrek Academy recruits monsters, but I think your children are actually quite good."

He waved to the open space beside him, and a figure quietly appeared beside him.

Six spirit rings also rose from that person's body: one white, one yellow, three purple, and one black.

"On behalf of the Spirit Hall Academy, I welcome everyone to join us."

After discussing it with the editor, we've decided to cut this book. Goodbye for now.
