Chapter 16: Yu Xiaogang is missing from the divine world?
"Shrek Academy!"

Muttering something softly, Xiao Yan tilted his head and looked around. He found that most of the people passing by this academy would look inside with awe and envy. At the same time, some passers-by also cast surprised glances at Xiao Yan who was standing stupidly in front of Shrek Academy.

Ignoring the gazes of the people around him, Xiao Yan gently touched the Xuan Zhong ruler on his back, then slowly strode towards Shrek Academy.

The timing was just right. Xiao Yan arrived at Shrek Academy just in time to catch the academy recruiting new students. Soon, he passed the assessment set by the academy, and with the forged letter of recommendation from the city lord, he successfully became a member.

After the assessment, Xiao Yan patted the giant black ruler behind him with a mixture of love and hate, and once again took heavy steps towards the academy.

However, at this moment, someone suddenly called him: "Brother Xiao Yan, you came to Shrek Academy? Have you passed the academy's assessment!?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan turned around. The person who came was a young man. He was tall and slender, with dark blue hair that glowed like a sapphire under the sunlight. There was a lazy smile on his handsome face. He was wearing a dark green school uniform, and there was a green little monster tattooed on his left chest.

It was Bei Bei, whom Xiao Yan had met in the Star Dou Great Forest before.

"Brother Bei, it's you!" Xiao Yan cupped his hands and smiled at Bei Bei, "I just passed by luck."

Bei Bei walked forward and patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder, with a hint of doubt between her brows. After a moment's hesitation, she said, "Brother Xiao Yan, it's been less than two months since we last met, and your spirit power has already risen to level 15?"

"I seem to remember that more than a month ago, when you absorbed the spirit ring of the Ten-Year Wind Baboon, your spirit power was only around level 10. How come it improved so quickly?"

Bei Bei certainly didn't know that the white soul ring Xiao Yan obtained was actually a million-year soul ring. After obtaining the soul ring of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, Xiao Yan's soul power was directly increased from level ten to level fourteen. The reason why it was only increased by four levels was because the power of the soul ring that his current body could withstand was only about four hundred years.

In addition to the foundation-building spiritual liquid that Yao Lao had refined for Xiao Yan not long ago, as well as the physical training during this period, in just over a month, Xiao Yan's soul power level directly increased from level 14 to around level 17. Because of the Xuan Zhong ruler suppressing his strength, his soul power only appeared to be level 15.

“Uh… I don’t know what happened. I just broke through by chance while refining.” Xiao Yan smiled and shook his head, explaining: “Maybe it has something to do with the elixir that my mysterious teacher gave me. He said that it can speed up the speed of cultivation.”

Hearing this, Bei Bei was stunned for a moment. In his mind, it was absolutely impossible for a person to increase his soul power from level ten to level fifteen in more than a month, especially when he obtained a ten-year soul ring, even if he took elixirs.

Could it be that Xiao Yan was using some evil cultivation method to practice?
Could it be that he is an evil spirit master? If so...

Just as Bei Bei was lost in thought, Xiao Yan spoke again: "Brother Bei, I don't know much about the academy. Can you show me the way and introduce it to me?"

"Okay!" Bei Bei nodded after slowly coming back to his senses from the shock. He did not think any more about it. He just planned to observe Xiao Yan in secret for a while. Then, he began to tell Xiao Yan the historical story of Shrek Academy on the mainland.

It started from the great war after the collision between Sun Moon Continent and Douluo Continent more than 4,000 years ago, and then to the fact that Shrek Academy is now divided into two parts: the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard.

"Brother Xiao Yan, your martial soul is the Spirit Eye. After entering the academy, you should temporarily practice in the Control Department of the Outer Court. If you are interested, you can also practice the Soul Guidance Department at the same time. This is my suggestion to you, you can refer to it." Bei Bei said lightly after briefly introducing the situation of Shrek Academy to Xiao Yan.

"What is the Soul Guidance System?" Xiao Yan was somewhat confused and frowned. Having grown up in a closed environment, he naturally did not have much experience.

Beibei explained: "The so-called soul guide system is to learn for the purpose of making soul guide weapons. In a sense, a soul guide weapon is a weapon driven by soul power, and the higher the quality of the soul guide weapon, the greater its power."

"After thousands of years of development, some extremely powerful soul guides have appeared on the Douluo Continent, which can even threaten Titled Douluo. The more powerful the soul guide, the more powerful the soul master is needed to use it. Without sufficient soul power support, the power of the soul guide will be very limited."

"The strength of soul guides is not only in terms of power, but also in the subversive impact on the soul master system. Soul guides are tools driven by soul power. Soul power is energy. Through soul guides, energy can be converted and released into various elements such as water, fire, and electricity. In this way, a fire attribute soul master can also use ice attribute soul skills."

"Therefore, the ancient combat rule of the soul master world, that is, attribute counteraction, no longer exists. The emergence of soul guides has weakened the significance of soul rings to soul masters. Now, the people of the original Douluo Continent have gradually begun to accept soul guides." Soon, the two entered the interior of Shrek Academy, where the environment was beautiful and there were abundant plants. After moving forward for another two hundred meters, Xiao Yan found that there were several huge statues in front of him that blocked his view. There were more than ten statues in total, all carved from the hardest granite and lifelike.

There are three statues in the front, the one in the center is an old man with a hooked nose, wearing a pair of glasses, and a smiling face, looking like a profiteer.

Bei Bei introduced Xiao Yan, "Brother Xiao Yan, the one in the middle is the founder of our Shrek Academy and the first dean, Flanders. The one on his left is my ancestor, Yu Xiaogang, who created the top ten core competitiveness in the martial arts world and is known as the master. My mother is his direct descendant. The woman on the right is the master's wife Liu Erlong. The three of them are known as the golden iron triangle."

"Master once said that there are no useless martial spirits, only useless spirit masters. This theory of his has been regarded as a classic by Shrek Academy and has been passed down for thousands of years. By the way, Master is also the teacher of Tang San, the ancestor of the Tang Sect."

The statue of the master looks like a middle-aged man who is somewhat thin and melancholy, while Liu Erlong is a middle-aged woman with outstanding grace.

"There are no useless martial spirits, only useless spirit masters..." After carefully savoring this sentence, Xiao Yan felt that something was amiss, but he couldn't put his finger on it for a moment. Then, he asked, "Brother Bei, it is said that Tang San, the ancestor of the Tang Sect, finally became a god and ascended to the God Realm after leaving Douluo Continent. As his teacher, Master should be stronger than Tang San, the ancestor of the Tang Sect, right? Did he also become a god with Tang San and then ascended to the God Realm?"

"Uh..." Hearing this, Beibei was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.

After a long while, Bei Bei smiled and said, "Brother Xiao Yan, although Master is Tang San's teacher, his strength is very low. It is said that his spirit power could not break through level 30 at one time. His strength is only in teaching spirit theory."

"Tang San, the ancestor of the Tang Sect, once said that without the master's teaching, he would not have the possibility of becoming a god. This shows how powerful the master's martial spirit theory teaching is."

“Did the master follow Tang San to the God Realm in the end? As Tang San’s teacher, as the saying goes, a teacher is a father for life. The ancestor of the Tang Clan was a great man, he should not forget his teacher after becoming a god, right?” Xiao Yan continued to ask.

"Uh..." Bei Bei was speechless again, not knowing what to say. Finally, she had to quickly change the subject and introduce several other statues to Xiao Yan: "Behind the golden triangle, there are seven more statues. They are the original Shrek Seven Devils of Shrek Academy. The statue in the front is the White Tiger Douluo Dai Mubai from ten thousand years ago. He is also the ancestor of the White Tiger Duke Dai family. The second one..."

As for White Tiger Douluo Dai Mubai, Xiao Yan, who grew up in the Duke's Mansion, has some simple understanding of him.

Then, Bei Bei introduced the seven statues to Xiao Yan one by one. Behind these seven statues, there was a final statue. This statue had a slender figure, wearing a green robe, with cold eyes. It was the first honorary elder of Shrek Academy when it was first established, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.

However, Xiao Yan's gaze was always on the third of the seven statues, the Thousand-Handed Shura Tang San. He always felt like this guy was secretly watching him.

"Keep going forward and you will split into two paths. To the left is the Martial Soul Branch, and to the right is the Soul Guidance Branch. You have passed the test, so I will take you to register for the Martial Soul Branch. If you want to register for the Soul Guidance Branch and study the Soul Guidance Department at the same time, you need to pass at least the first assessment for freshmen." Bei Bei continued to introduce to Xiao Yan.

"By the way, Brother Xiao Yan, if you encounter any difficulties in the academy, just come to me. I will do my best to help you wherever I can." Bei Bei has always been kind to others, and he already had a good impression of Xiao Yan, so he said this.

"Thank you very much, Brother Bei." Hearing this, Xiao Yan cupped his hands and said, "If there is anything I really need, I will come to you."

Shrek Academy was very lively during the period of recruiting new students. Under the leadership of Bei Bei, Xiao Yan quickly completed the registration of new students. After receiving the dormitory key and school uniform, he walked towards the dormitory alone.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the dormitory, Xiao Yan saw an old man who looked very old sitting there. The old man was wearing a gray cloth robe, and the wrinkles on his face were enough to kill a fly. His eyes seemed dim but contained a gleam of brilliance. He was lying on a bench basking in the sun, and the sunlight between the buildings fell on him, sparkling.

At this moment, Yao Lao's voice suddenly rang in Xiao Yan's mind: "Be careful, this old guy is not an ordinary person."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan's heart trembled, and he hurriedly asked Yao Lao in his mind: "Teacher, is there something strange about this dormitory manager?"
