Bab 65: Chapter 65: Our Academy Has Good Treatment
.....
"Hello! Is anyone there? Is there a gatekeeper? Security! Anyone there?"
Zeng Yi stood at the gate of Shrek Academy and shouted inside.
He yelled for a while, but no one came out.
What's wrong with this school? Isn't there even a gatekeeper? And why are there so few people in your school? I shouted so loudly but didn't see anyone.
This situation made Zeng Yi a little frustrated.
Since that's the case, I'm to blame for trespassing into someone's house!
Zeng Yi looked at the shabby gate and thought to himself. Honestly, Shrek Academy should at least install two doors for this gate! At the very least, install a barrier. What's with leaving the entrance empty like this? Aren't you afraid of thieves coming in and stealing things?
But looking at your shabby appearance, I doubt there would be any thieves interested in this place. It's better to go to the village and steal some chickens!
Zeng Yi couldn't help but complain in his mind.
Then Zeng Yi lifted his foot and walked into the gate of Shrek Academy, shaking his head as he surveyed the environment of the academy.
The internal environment of Shrek Academy felt no different from the village outside. It had the same yellow soil, overgrown grass and trees, and everything grew haphazardly without any maintenance. If Zeng Yi had to point out one difference, it would be that there were fewer houses compared to outside.
Can this Shrek Academy really be considered an academy? There is not even a building that looks like an academy! It feels like a village.
Walking inside the academy, looking at the surroundings, Zeng Yi couldn't help but wonder how they managed to establish a school.
But well, it's still much better than my village. After all, it's a village near the main city of Suotuo, and the villagers' living standards are much higher than my hometown, Lala Village.
As Zeng Yi walked inside the academy, he suddenly felt a surge of aura locking onto him, causing his body to tremble. The Xiao Ju on his shoulder also panicked and quickly burrowed into Zeng Yi's clothes. Zeng Yi immediately became vigilant. From this aura, he could sense that this person's strength was very strong, beyond what he could handle at the moment.
Is it a teacher from Shrek Academy? Their strength is really formidable!
"Senior, I didn't mean to offend. I called for a long time at the gate, but since no one appeared, I entered your academy. I apologize for my impudence," Zeng Yi respectfully spoke to a large tree nearby.
Zeng Yi knew that the person was hiding behind the trunk of that tree. Although his aura was well concealed, facing Zeng Yi who could control the flow of wind and feel the direction of the airflow, it was quite easy to find his position.
"Was I discovered?"
The clothed old man hiding behind the trunk of the tree was quite surprised. He, a Soul Emperor at the sixth rank, had hidden his aura so well, yet this younger generation managed to sense it?
This boy is not simple!
"May I ask the senior to come out for a meeting?" Seeing that the person didn't come out, Zeng Yi said again.
"You've already discovered me, so why continue hiding?" With that, Zeng Yi couldn't help but add.
In a while, a figure walked out from behind the large tree that Zeng Yi was facing. It was an old man dressed in gray cloth. His clothes had a few patches, and he looked plain and peaceful, just like a farmer, without any resemblance to a powerful soul master.
Check information.
Zeng Yi silently commanded, and the old man's information appeared in his eyes.
[Name: Li Yu Song
Battle Spirit: Dragon Pattern Staff
Spirit Power: Level 63 (Soul Emperor)]
...
Instantly knowing the strength of the old man in front of him, Zeng Yi realized that he was a sixth-rank Soul Emperor. But he remained calm.
But on second thought, does Shrek Academy really have someone like him? Based on my impression, the teachers of Shrek Academy seem to be only their principal, Tang San's master, and someone surnamed Zhao. I don't recall this old man at all!
Seems like he has a minor role, just an extra.
"Hello, senior!" Zeng Yi greeted the old man first and showed respect to the elderly.
"Mhm."
Li Yu Song gave a slight response, sharp eyes fixed on the young man in front of him. His body emitted a powerful aura aimed at Zeng Yi.
Sensing the pressure approaching him, Zeng Yi activated his soul power and began resisting the elderly man's spiritual pressure. However, the old man did not utilize all of his soul power to oppress Zeng Yi, so the pressure was not too painful or uncomfortable. Zeng Yi looked calm, composed, and unfazed.
Interesting!
Seeing Zeng Yi's relaxed expression, Li Yu Song's mouth slightly curved. He increased the intensity of his spiritual pressure, wanting to see how strong this young man truly was.
Feeling the sudden increase in pressure, which was like a mountain pressing down on him, Zeng Yi became more serious. His soul power circulated faster in his body, silently resisting the pressure.
As time passed, Zeng Yi felt the pressure on his body gradually intensify, making him feel suffocated.
Is this guy crazy? What's the point of continuously using soul power to oppress me? Is this some kind of fun game for you? Do you old folks enjoy testing young people like this? It's so outdated. If you want to fight, just start fighting! If you can catch up to me, I'll acknowledge you.
Zeng Yi cursed in his mind.
"Um... Senior, can you stop?" Facing each other so closely made Zeng Yi embarrassed. It felt like the old man was tired of watching him, and he, too, was annoyed! You, an old man, have been staring at me like that, cool as I am, do you have some ulterior motive? Sorry, but your actions make me sick.
Seeing that the old man didn't speak, Zeng Yi had to break the silence and speak first.
Zeng Yi's words astonished Li Yu Song. Even under his spiritual pressure, this young man could still find the opportunity to talk? One must know that his level of spiritual pressure was something even the strongest students of Shrek Academy, like Dai Mubai, could hardly endure. Yet this young man, although his complexion became unsightly, could still speak, indicating that he had some energy left.
This young man's strength seems to surpass that of all our academy's students!
Thinking so, Li Yu Song retracted his spiritual pressure, and Zeng Yi no longer felt the surging pressure on his body. He breathed a sigh of relief, and his face relaxed.
"What's your name?" Li Yu Song asked calmly.
"I'm Zeng Yi, young sir." Zeng Yi answered; after all, Tang San and the others knew his name, so telling this old man his real name wasn't a big deal.
"Mhm." Li Yu Song glanced at Zeng Yi, nodded, and responded.
"Are you here to enroll in our Shrek Academy? Unfortunately, our enrollment period is already over, but..."
"Actually, I'm not here to enroll in your academy."
Li Yu Song was about to suggest giving Zeng Yi the opportunity to be assessed, but Zeng Yi interrupted him before he could finish.
"What? You're not here to enroll in our academy?" Zeng Yi's reply stunned Li Yu Song.
"Hehe, that's right. I'm actually here to find someone." Zeng Yi looked at the old man's surprised expression and forced an awkward smile.
"Looking for someone? Whom are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for a fellow student named Zhu Zhuqing."
"Zhu Zhuqing?" Li Yu Song said, recalling a female student from their academy. After all, the academy wasn't that big, and the students were few, so he remembered them quite clearly.
After glancing at Zeng Yi, Li Yu Song noticed that the young man looked handsome and about the same age as those little monsters. Furthermore, he directly named Zhu Zhuqing, a female student.
"Are you her boyfriend?" Li Yu Song couldn't help but ask.
"Um..."
This question instantly made Zeng Yi feel embarrassed.
"Hehe... No."
"If not, then why are you looking for her?"
Zeng Yi found this question silly. What kind of logic is that? Can't I look for her if I'm not her boyfriend? Are men and women not allowed to have normal and pure friendship?
"Hehe... We are just friends, and I have something to discuss with her." Zeng Yi explained awkwardly.
"I see. But she's not in the academy right now," Li Yu Song replied.
"Not in the academy?" Zeng Yi couldn't understand. Instead of attending classes at the school, the students are running around somewhere else? Did you all go to Suotuo's Great Spirit Arena again to do your homework?
Seeing Zeng Yi's perplexed expression, Li Yu Song added, "All the academy's students have gone to Star Dou Forest. They might be back in a few days."
"Star Dou Forest?"
"Yes, if you're in a hurry, you can go look for her now. They left this morning."
Upon hearing this, Zeng Yi immediately shook his head.
"Never mind, I'll come back in a few days then!"
Letting me go to Star Dou Forest? Are you kidding me? I've already been trapped in Sunset Forest for six years and have psychological trauma. If I go to Star Dou Forest by myself and trigger another six-year reward for myself, what will happen?
"In that case, I'll take my leave, senior."
"Hey, young man, are you really not considering joining our academy? Our academy offers excellent treatment, and you'll become a Viscount of the Empire after graduation! Won't you reconsider?" Seeing Zeng Yi preparing to leave, Li Yu Song quickly tried to persuade him.
"Hehe... Sorry, I currently have no plans to join a soul master academy."
Are you kidding me? Anyone with eyes can see how poor your academy is. Good treatment? Graduating as a Viscount? Do you think I'm a child?
After hearing this, Zeng Yi inwardly mocked, directly refusing his offer.
Although joining Shrek and securing a god-ranked position was possible, Zeng Yi didn't want that. He had his own journey.
"In that case, I won't insist." Seeing Zeng Yi's refusal, Li Yu Song decided not to say anything more. Although Shrek Academy only recruited top-tier monsters, there was no need to beg others to join.
"Then, farewell, senior!"
