The other teachers who heard this sentence all showed complex expressions and couldn't help but start discussing...
"It looks like Headmaster Flender has been hit so hard, he's starting to have delusions!"
"That's right, we teachers aren't qualified to instruct geniuses of such level at all!"
"Speaking of which, other than having issues in their head, I can't see why anyone would want to join Shrek Academy, it's so poor, and our teaching faculty isn't as good as those higher-level academies!"
"You can't say that, our Shrek Academy's instructional ability is still not bad. For instance, wasn't Qin Ming one of our own? Isn't he now a teacher at Heaven Dou Royal Academy??"
These harsh voices snapped Flender out of his daydream...
He rebuked them, "You guys have no ambition at all, if you even lack this bit of confidence, how can Shrek Academy continue to thrive and prosper!"
To this, everyone just gave some bitter laughs...
The academy was close to shutting down due to lacking funds, yet talking about thriving and prospering!
Instead of thinking about these useless matters, it would be better to think about how to earn golden soul coins. The personal fortunes of these teachers had nearly been drained for the academy!!
Just then, Flender suddenly sensed something and a smile appeared on his lips...
This smile sent a chill down Zhao Wuji's spine. Frowning, he said, "Headmaster, what's with that expression? Don't tell me you're really thinking about recruiting that Xu Sheng to join Shrek Academy? We don't even know where he is right now!"
Flender couldn't even be bothered to explain and pushed the latter away...
He then walked to the front gate of the academy...
From there, one could faintly hear a female voice coming from outside...
"Excuse me, is this Shrek Academy?"
This abrupt action left the others somewhat dumbfounded...
But Flender had no intention of explaining. He straightened his appearance and swiftly opened the door...
What met his eyes was Ning Rongrong at the forefront, followed by the disciples of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect!
She surveyed Flender before speaking, "Please... Excuse me, is this Shrek Academy?"
Flender cleared his throat, "Yes, this is Shrek Academy, and I, Flender, am the headmaster of Shrek Academy!"
It wasn't even the time for enrollment, yet someone had taken the initiative to show up at the doorstep!
It seems the reputation of Shrek Academy wasn't that bad after all!
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong expressed joyfully, "That's wonderful, I was worried we wouldn't find it today. I didn't expect to locate it without spending much time!"
Seeing this, Zhao Wuji and the others couldn't help but walk over...
"We are the teachers of Shrek Academy, may I ask what brings you here??"
Ning Rongrong answered truthfully, "I've heard that Shrek Academy only admits geniuses, so I specially came to have a look!"
"If possible, I would like to join Shrek Academy to study!"
Flender barely suppressed his delight and explained with his hand over his mouth, "Joining Shrek Academy isn't that easy!"
"Not to mention we only admit geniuses, just the registration fee alone costs a whopping five golden soul coins. You..."
Ning Rongrong glanced at one of the Sect Disciples beside her...
The latter understood immediately and took out a bag containing twenty golden soul coins and tossed it over...
After Flender caught it, he discreetly opened it to take a look and couldn't help but burst into a goofy smile...
Inside the bag! There were actually twenty golden soul coins!
Zhao Wuji suddenly reminded him coldly from the side, "Hey, hey, Headmaster Flender, our guests are still here. Restrain yourself a little!"
```
"To think that he's the headmaster, this is truly embarrassing!"
Flander immediately stepped forward, coughing awkwardly a few times…
What kind of status does this girl have, capable of being protected by a powerful figure and casually taking out twenty golden soul coins!
It was then that Ning Rongrong continued, "Headmaster Flander, may I now inquire about the enrollment conditions of Shrek Academy?"
Flander was stunned for a moment, "Although it is not the enrollment period of the academy right now, considering the gold… your sincerity, I'll just briefly explain!"
"The enrollment condition for our Shrek Academy is that one must be at least twelve years old and have a soul power rank of at least level 21!"
Upon hearing this, everyone including Ning Rongrong showed a look of astonishment…
"At least twelve years old and a soul power rank of at least level 21? Isn't this requirement too exaggerated?"
"Yes, Soul Masters with such talent would generally choose either the Martial Soul Hall or various other top academies!"
"Being able to reach level 21 at this age undoubtedly signifies a genius. How can Shrek Academy be so audacious!"
After taking a deep breath, Ning Rongrong pursed her lips and said, "Headmaster Flander, are you sure you didn't misspeak? Such demands seem too harsh; I'm afraid not many people will meet them, right?"
Flander lifted his chin without hesitation and responded, "I did not misspeak. Our Shrek Academy only admits monsters. Trash that hasn't reached the level has no need for our teaching!"
Ning Rongrong hesitated, "Is that so? A school indeed for monsters only. But since you dare to say that, I presume this place must just be a temporary recruiting station, right?"
How could an academy capable of teaching geniuses be so plain!
As soon as she said this, Flander and the others felt somewhat embarrassed…
It was only Zhao Wuji who, through gritted teeth, said, "No, it is not the case. This place is Shrek Academy!"
Who knew how much pressure he felt when he uttered those words!
Ning Rongrong was immediately dumbfounded…
"This… This place is Shrek Academy??"
The other Sect Disciples from the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect also began to look displeased…
"Shrek Academy dares to set such high standards while being so rudimentary. Do they really think others are fools?"
"Exactly. I think Shrek Academy is nothing but a scammers' den, claiming to only recruit geniuses, pah!"
"Rongrong, let's not waste any more time here. Let's hurry back to the Sect. In such an environment, it is impossible to train excellent Soul Masters!"
Ning Rongrong also felt deceived and immediately lost interest…
She nodded and said, "Yeah, let's go. We really shouldn't have wasted time looking for Shrek Academy!"
Staying here to cultivate is worse than staying in the sect, at least there, you don't have to worry about resources!
Hearing these words, Flander's face turned ashen…
He couldn't help but rebuke, "Wait a minute, what do you mean by that? Even if you don't wish to join Shrek Academy, please do not tarnish our reputation!"
"What does it matter if the environment is poor, as long as it can teach excellent students, it is a good academy!!"
He thought she was a wise person, but it turned out she was just as judgmental!
Seeing this, Zhao Wuji also coldly chimed in, "That's right, not a single student who has graduated from our Shrek Academy is anything less than excellent!!"
