Chapter 58 Dai Mubai: What are you laughing at?
Upon hearing this, the bearded stall owner chuckled awkwardly and said with a hint of obsequiousness, "Boss Dai, would you like a sausage?"
Dai Mubai's face showed disgust. "You're a disgrace to the academy. I think I've warned you more than once not to sell sausages on campus. Do you want everyone to vomit?"
The bearded stall owner looked miserable. "I'm just trying to earn a living."
At this moment, Ning Rongrong asked curiously, "Is this uncle also from your academy? And what's wrong with the vomiting? Is there something wrong with the sausage?"
Upon hearing this, the bearded stall owner couldn't hold back any longer.
"Young lady, I'm only 14 years old. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to call me 'uncle'?"
"Huh? You said you're 14 years old?" Ning Rongrong looked incredulous. Who would believe you're 14? You'd be more like 40.
The bearded stall owner nodded emphatically. "My name is Oscar, a freshman at Shrek Academy, and I'm 14 years old. You can't call me 'uncle' just because I have a bit more hair."
Ning Rongrong was speechless. Your thick beard isn't just a little thick, it's a billion times thicker!
A 14-year-old with such an exaggerated beard is truly a rare sight.
Moreover, this senior had a full beard, but spoke in a soft, gentle voice, which Ning Rongrong found unbearable.
This is like a big, burly man acting cute and calling other boys "little brother" in a high-pitched voice.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing hurriedly walked away, distancing themselves from this eccentric senior.
The person in charge of the second round of exams was also an old man, but he didn't look as old as Li Yusong.
After the two women approached, the old man pointed to a white crystal ball on the table and said to them, "Come one by one, put your hands on it, I need to record your soul power."
Ning Rongrong stepped forward and placed one hand on the crystal ball.
The crystal ball emitted a bright white light.
The old man smiled broadly. "Level 26, not bad, not bad."
No wonder he was so excited, because Ning Rongrong was the student with the highest soul power among those who signed up today.
Ning Rongrong stepped aside, and Zhu Zhuqing followed suit, placing her hand on top as well.
The crystal ball lit up with white light once again, even more intensely than Ning Rongrong's.
The old man's smile widened, and he stroked his beard, laughing, "Level 27, good, good, the academy has gained two more little monsters."
Don't waste your time. Once your soul power reaches level 25, you can skip the second and third stages.
"Mu Bai, take them straight to the fourth level."
"Yes." Dai Mubai replied respectfully, gave Zhu Zhuqing a complicated look, and then turned and walked into the academy.
Soon, the three arrived at another open space. This place was much smaller than the second level, only about 200 square meters.
At this moment, Zhao Wuji, the proctor of the fourth test, was sitting in a chair.
"Teacher Zhao, I've brought my team to the fourth assessment."
Zhao Wuji nodded, "Alright, then you tell them about the fourth level."
Zhao Wuji originally wanted to conduct the assessment himself, but seeing that only two people came, he had no choice but to give up the idea.
The fourth challenge involves the two women working together to withstand Dai Mubai's attacks for the duration of an incense stick burning.
As Zhao Wuji lit the incense in his hand, the assessment began.
Zhu Zhuqing was the main attacker, while Ning Rongrong provided support and buffs.
The battle between the three was quite interesting. Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing each used a soul skill to attack each other, and Zhu Zhuqing would run away when she couldn't win.
She is an agility-type Soul Master, and her greatest strength is speed.
Dai Mubai couldn't catch up with her, he couldn't even touch her tail.
At this point, he should logically attack Ning Rongrong who was standing to the side.
But Dai Mubai didn't do that; he just kept chasing after Zhu Zhuqing, dragging it out until the time was up.
The incense stick burned out.
Zhao Wuji announced, "Alright, you two have passed the exam. School starts tomorrow. Now, Mu Bai, take them to the dormitory."
Dai Mubai beckoned to the two women and said weakly, "Come with me."
After a while, Dai Mubai led the two girls to a wooden house. "Alright, this is your dormitory."
The wooden house in front of us, or more accurately, a village dwelling, looked like it had been inhabited for a long time, with dust covering the doors and windows.
Ning Rongrong asked with some disbelief, "This is your college's dormitory? Isn't it a bit too simple?"
Dai Mubai smiled wryly, "That's how it is when you don't have money. There's nothing we can do about it. Otherwise, why would the academy be located in such a small village?"
"It's because we're short of money. If it weren't for some sponsorship from my family, the academy probably would have closed down last year. If we can't recruit any students this year, then the three of us currently enrolled will be the last batch of students at Shrek Academy."
"What? Your academy only has three students?" Ning Rongrong looked incredulous, wondering if she had misheard.
Dai Mubai said, "You heard me right, and I didn't say anything wrong. Right now, there are only three students in the entire academy, including myself."
Our college is probably the only one with more teachers than students.
But things are different now that you're here. There are just as many students as teachers now.
"Then why not relax the admission requirements?" Ning Rongrong was a little confused. There were quite a few people who came to register today, but they all left after Lin Ye caused trouble.
This also shows that Shrek Academy can recruit more students if it lowers its standards.
Dai Mubai's face showed a hint of respect. "The Dean said that it is better to have none than to have bad ones. The academy only accepts monsters and not trash. This is true at all times, even if Shrek Academy closes down."
This is neither an intermediate nor an advanced Soul Master academy. Our academy's requirements are different from theirs.
Our academy only accepts students under the age of thirteen, and they must be exceptionally gifted.
Do you know what the graduation requirements are for this college?
You must be above level 40, and you must be above level 40 before you turn 20. Only those who reach the Soul Master level are allowed to graduate.
The academy admitted a total of sixty-two students, but only fourteen actually graduated. After leaving the academy, all fourteen became prominent figures. The most outstanding among them is now the youngest elder in the Spirit Hall, second only to the Pope in authority.
The rest either failed to graduate because they were unable to complete level 40 cultivation before the age of 20, or they died while hunting soul beasts.
The Dean said, "Don't go out and embarrass him until you reach the Soul Sect."
By the end, Dai Mubai's emotions had clearly become agitated, and he obviously held Flander in high esteem.
Upon hearing these words, Ning Rongrong's expression immediately became extremely strange; she wanted to laugh but held it back.
Even Zhu Zhuqing, who always had a blank expression, had the same expression.
"What's wrong? Are you saying something wrong? What's with those expressions?" Dai Mubai asked, puzzled. He had been unconscious and had no idea what happened afterward.
