As the crowd reached the height of its excitement, a few people walked out of the gates. Their leader was a tall, muscular man with short graying hair and a sharp gaze. He made his way through the crowd and quickly laid eyes on Tang Wulin's blood essence soul ring. His surprise only lasted a moment, a brief flash across his face, but he instantly regained himself. He didn't even break stride. Soon enough, he stood before Tang Wulin's group.
"You kids are from Shrek Academy?" he asked, his eyes moving from the golden soul ring to meet Tang Wulin's gaze. "Are you from the outer or inner court?"
Tang Wulin stood his ground, staring the man down in turn. "I'm the class president of the outer court's first grade. My name is Tang Wulin." Unlike their raids on the Spirit Pagoda, there were certain formalities that came with using the name of Shrek Academy to challenge another academy.
