LRAB Chapter 110 School Opening
Chapter 110 School Opening
Chapter 111 School Opening
Li Luochen and Dugu Bo returned the night before the admissions meeting, by which time everyone in the academy had gathered.
Even Flander has returned. Flander will come back every time there is enrollment, and if there are any promising talents, he will bring them to Tiandou City.
This time, he was waiting for his old friend's disciple to arrive, which is why he was waiting here. In recent years, as Shrek Academy's reputation has grown, a large number of commoner soul masters from the vicinity of Soto City have flocked to the academy.
There are quite a few people with innate level 7 soul power who have reached level 20 or above by the age of twelve. However, Flander sent them all to Liu Erlong's place, where the teaching quality is better and many Shrek Academy graduates teach.
Flander was thinking that this was the last time he would recruit students in Soto City. After that, he planned to take all the teachers and students to Shrek City.
The former Blue Tyrant Academy, now Shrek Academy, has actually been relocated. Emperor Xueye bestowed a large fiefdom upon Li Luochen outside Tiandou City, and Li Luochen directly built Shrek City on the fiefdom, and then prepared to move Shrek Academy there.
For the past six months, Blue Tyrant Academy has been relocating and reorganizing in preparation for creating a new Shrek Academy.
The reason for recruiting the Royal Clan was to acquire their architectural skills. Li Luochen visited two months ago and found that Shrek City was more than half completed and was in excellent condition. Li Luochen was very satisfied.
For the Yu clan, it was a bittersweet experience. The pain stemmed from the sheer size of the construction site, requiring all the Yu clan disciples to participate, including the clan leader, Niu Gao, who personally oversaw the construction.
The joy comes from the sheer amount of money. Back in the Star Luo Empire, they barely managed to make a comfortable living with their construction skills. Now, Li Luochen's financial support has completely shattered Niu Gao's worldview, so he's experiencing both pain and joy.
Just a week ago, Niu Gao sent a message saying that Shrek City would be completed in another year and a half, the academy was finished, and classes could begin normally.
Li Luochen was very satisfied with this. Was the Haotian Sect, such a useful clan, brain-dead? They threw it all away? The Po clan is now thriving in Tiandou City.
There are many nobles in Tiandou City, and the demand for those kinds of pills is enormous. The Po Clan has seized the market opportunity, refining large quantities of health products and selling them to the nobles, making a fortune.
Now Shrek City will be their new home, and they won't have to worry about anyone causing trouble.
At Shrek Academy in Soto City, Flander discussed the final enrollment issues, stating that everyone would be moving to Shrek City in six months.
Tomorrow, the first checkpoint at the academy gate will be guarded by Li Yusong, Li Luochen, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar.
The second and third checkpoints were guarded by Shao Xin and Lu Qibin, while the fourth checkpoint was guarded by Zhao Wuji.
Li Yusong has always been the first hurdle in student recruitment, and he's used to it.
The next morning, Li Yusong set up a wooden table at the entrance of Shrek Academy and then sat down there.
Li Luochen was lying on a big tree at the entrance of the academy, Oscar and Ma Hongjun were leaning against the tree, and Dai Mubai was very embarrassed. The person he least wanted to see was here, but he always did a good job of putting on a show, calling him "Senior Li" over and over again, like a sycophant.
At this time, Soul Masters had begun to sign up, but most of them would be eliminated. However, Shrek Academy also provided them with a way out. Due to Li Luochen's changes, Soul Masters who were not qualified to come to Shrek Academy would be sent to some intermediate Soul Master academies.
Those intermediate-level Soul Master academies were all smiles. The students that Shrek Academy didn't want, they wanted. If you don't want them, we'll take them all.
"No, you're not qualified, and you're not qualified either..."
"Hmm? Not bad, soul power level 23, bone age over 11 years old, that's not bad. You'll have to pay your tuition."
Thanks to Li Luochen, Shrek Academy is no longer a shady school. Its reputation is genuine; it's been officially recognized as a high-level Soul Master Academy by the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire. It has now merged with Blue Tyrant Academy, which achieved excellent results in the previous Elite Soul Master Tournament in the Heaven Dou region, but unfortunately failed to reach the finals.
Soto City has been giving Shrek Academy a lot of publicity, especially by promoting the idea that the Shrek Academy there is just an old site and that a new academy is under construction with its own independent district called Shrek City.
Then, Soto City also revamped the past graduates of Shrek Academy, and now the graduates boast an outstanding record of one Soul Saint, three Soul Emperors, and more than a dozen Soul Kings.
At this moment, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing, whom Li Luochen had already met, had arrived in the queue. There was also a young girl in a simple white dress, with flawless skin and exceptional beauty, roughly on par with Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing. Li Luochen guessed that this was Ning Rongrong.
Oscar looked at Ning Rongrong and immediately understood what Li Luochen meant by fate. However, as a Soul Sect expert, he was only amazed for a moment.
"Hmm, you're alright. Your first spirit ring is 100 years old, and you're twelve. You could be a regular student at our other campus. Hong Jun, write down these people's information and then send them all to Shrek City."
Li Yusong said that Shrek Academy no longer follows the elite route. It's not interesting to just teach monsters; it's interesting to turn mediocre people into monsters. Although they haven't succeeded yet, it has given the teachers a fighting spirit.
A genius is a genius no matter where you put them. If you can train an ordinary person to become a genius, that's something to brag about.
However, there were still some noisy parents who believed their children were capable, and their arguing was quite irritating. Li Yusong directly released his martial soul, and seven soul rings appeared: one white, one yellow, three purple, and two black, which intimidated the troublemakers.
"Shrek is a monster, an extremely strange existence even among soul beasts. The meaning of our Shrek Academy is Monster Academy. That is to say, we only accept monsters, not ordinary people."
However, because we've already lowered the requirements due to their strictness, even ordinary people can grow into monsters. But some people still can't even meet the minimum requirements: those over thirteen years old, or those whose soul power hasn't reached level sixteen or above, shouldn't waste their time here.
Li Yusong's words revealed that Shrek Academy now trains students separately. Monsters have their own training methods, and so do ordinary students. The graduation requirement for monsters is a soul power level of 40, while the requirement for ordinary students is a soul power level of 30.
Shrek Academy in Shrek City has already differentiated the requirements for genius Soul Masters from those for ordinary Soul Masters, after all, the path of cultivation is very cruel. Some people's destiny is already determined at birth.
It's too difficult for ordinary people to rise above their circumstances. Li Luochen has already done everything he could, lowering the requirements considerably and giving ordinary soul masters a chance. But whether you can seize it or not depends on your own efforts.
"This academy is interesting, Xiao San. The teacher's statement that he only accepts monsters and not ordinary people is so cool. And Xiao San, did you notice that tree over there?"
We've dealt with that Young Master Dai before; he's a level 37 Soul Master. We also encountered two shady merchants here later. Could they be students too?
Xiao Wu asked with a belly full of questions. At this moment, she was not afraid at all. She didn't know what she had eaten that had suppressed the aura of the soul beast on her body, which was why she dared to play around.
"It's very interesting. The teacher was right. Shrek Academy is indeed very different."
Tang San had noticed that tree a long time ago. His Purple Demon Eyes were always shining, and he could clearly see that Dai Mubai was the weakest one there, while the handsome man with short red hair next to him was exuding a scorching, explosive aura.
The handsome young man with silver hair had a peaceful yet profound soul power. Tang San guessed that he was at least a high-level Soul Master, or even a Soul Grandmaster.
As for the handsome young man with black hair lying in the tree, his instincts told him not to use his Purple Demon Eye to spy on him, as it would be very dangerous. Therefore, Tang San did not go to see Li Luochen.
Tang San increasingly felt that Shrek Academy was unfathomable.
