Chapter 27 Shrek in the Eyes of the Public
When Dai Mubai came to the second level, Shao Xin, who was in charge of the second level assessment, said to Dai Mubai, "Mubai, you came at the right time. Take him to the last level."

"Another genius who can go straight to the final level."

Dai Mubai couldn't help but look surprised when he heard this.

Why are there so many geniuses in this class? In previous years, they might not be able to recruit even one person in a year. Then he looked at the person who could enter the final level. Wasn’t this the person he brought here before?
"Zhang Long?"

When Tang San saw Zhang Long behind Dai Mubai, he blurted out subconsciously with a look of shock. He didn't expect to see Zhang Long here. He couldn't help but wonder why the other party appeared here?

Zhang Long was his classmate at the Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy. They had lived in the same academy for six years, so how could he not know him?

However, knowing each other does not mean that they are friends. After all, he is the boss of the part-time students, while Zhang Long is the boss of the formal students. They have had several frictions.

"Xiao San, I didn't expect that we were so destined to meet here."

Zhang Long said with a smile.

Tang San came over and said, "I thought you would go to Tiandou Royal Academy, why are you here?"

Is he following him?

"It would be a long story if I told you that, so I'd better not say it."

Zhang Long said.

However, his eyes subconsciously looked at Zhu Zhuqing beside him.

Tang San saw Zhang Long's gaze and followed Zhang Long's gaze to look at Zhu Zhuqing. A very beautiful woman. Could it be that Zhang Long came to Shrek Academy for this woman?

He remembered something and looked at Zhang Long. There was another woman beside him, but this woman was not Xiao Wu. He couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Wu is not with you?"

"No."

Zhang Long said, without explaining much.

Tang San did not ask any further questions.

Because to him, Xiao Wu was just a classmate he knew.

"You guys come with me."

Dai Mubai said.

Then he led the four people deeper into the cave.

On the way, Dai Mubai told the four people about the history of Shrek and the requirements for admission.

"It has been twenty years since our Shrek Academy was founded. During these twenty years, we have admitted a total of forty-two students, an average of a little more than two per year.

If all four of you are admitted this year, it will be a record. The academy has not accepted any students for two years. Currently, there are three students studying in the academy, including me."

Dai Mubai said.

"Three?"

Ning Rongrong and Tang San couldn't help but exclaim that the number of students was too small.

Zhang Long and Zhu Zhuqing both looked indifferent.

The former had known about it for a long time, while the latter simply didn't care about such things.

Dai Mubai was a little surprised to see Zhang Long's calm expression. He didn't expect the young man to be so steady, but he didn't care. He continued, "In the entire Douluo Continent, our Shrek Academy can be regarded as the only academy with more teachers than students." Hearing this, Tang San couldn't help but ask in confusion, "In this case, how can the academy survive? Without students, there should be no income."

Although he didn't know much about this world yet, he had attended a junior soul master academy after all, so he naturally knew that the soul master academy's income mainly came from students' tuition fees. If there were not enough students, the academy would not have enough income and would not be able to operate.

Dai Mubai said: "Why do you think the academy is in such a small village? It's because of lack of funds. If my family hadn't sponsored some of it, the academy would have closed last year. If we can't recruit students this year, then the three of us who are currently studying here will be the last batch of students at Shrek Academy."

Zhang Long's expression changed when he heard this.

Family sponsorship?

It seems that Dai Mubai has not completely severed ties with the royal family of the Xingluo Empire. But if he had completely severed ties, Zhu Zhuqing would probably not know that Dai Mubai was here.

"Then why doesn't the college relax some of the entrance exam requirements? I see there are quite a few people signing up."

Ning Rongrong asked doubtfully.

Dai Mubai showed a trace of respect on his face, and said: "Our dean said that it is better to have nothing than to have something of inferior quality. No matter what time it is, even if Shrek Academy is closed, we will never accept trash, only monsters."

Then he asked, "Do you know what the graduation requirements of the academy are?"

Without waiting for Tang San and the others to answer, he said directly: "We are neither an intermediate spirit master academy nor an advanced spirit master academy, so our requirements are different from theirs. We only accept students under the age of thirteen, and they must be gifted. The graduation requirement of the academy is to be above level 40, and to be above level 40 before the age of twenty, and to reach the level of a spirit master before graduation.

In the past twenty years, the academy has admitted a total of sixty-two students, but only fourteen have actually graduated. After leaving the academy, these fourteen people have all become world-renowned figures.

The most outstanding one among them is now the youngest elder in the Spirit Hall, and his authority is second only to the Pope. The others who have not graduated are those who were unable to complete level 40 training before the age of 20 or died while hunting spirit beasts. The dean said that if you are not at level 41, you should not go out and embarrass him. "

At the end of his speech, Dai Mubai became visibly excited. He obviously had great respect for the president of Shrek Academy.

When Zhang Long heard Dai Mubai's passionate words, he wanted to ask him who was the youngest elder in the Spirit Hall whose authority was second only to the Pope?
Yu Xiaogang?
It couldn't be him. Bibi Dong just casually said Yu Xiaogang's identity as an elder in order to protect Yu Xiaogang, and Yu Xiaogang was not a Shrek student.

This student probably doesn't exist at all, and was made up by Flanders in order to trick people into signing up. Or maybe this student really exists, but he's not the Titled Douluo Elder as Zhang Long imagined, but an elder in a branch of the Spirit Hall. After all, that student is only in his thirties at most, and it's not impossible for him to become the head of a branch of the Spirit Hall.

As for being second only to the Pope?
I'm afraid it's just a rumor, or maybe Flanders is exaggerating on purpose.

No matter what the situation was, Zhang Long was not very interested in it. At the moment, he had only one interest, which was how to get Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.

In addition, the matter of fairy grass also needs to be put on the agenda.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing looked calm, but underneath their calm gazes was full of contempt. To be able to reach level 25 at the age of twelve was already a genius, and to advance to level 15 in eight years was not a difficult task. Those students who had not completed graduation were probably dead.

Although they were full of contempt in their hearts, they didn't say anything. The former was just treating it as a game, while the latter's focus was not on that at all.

As for Tang San?

Without much knowledge, he just felt that Shrek Academy was very powerful, and such a powerful soul master academy was the soul master academy he wanted.

"arrive."

At this time Dai Mubai said and stopped, and they had now arrived at an open space.

Dai Mubai looked at the burly middle-aged man who was sleeping soundly in a chair in the open space in front of him and said, "Teacher Zhao, I'm bringing people to the fourth level of the assessment."

"Huh? There are people coming to the fourth level this year? There are four of them."

Zhao Wuji opened his sleepy eyes and looked at the four young men and women behind Dai Mubai with some surprise, as if they had encountered something incredible.

Because the students who applied for the exam in the past two years were eliminated before they reached his level, and now four of them have appeared in a row, how could he not be surprised.

Could it be that those old guys like Li Yusong have relaxed their requirements?
