Capítulo 2713: Chapter 2698: Return to Barak Empire_1

Barak Empire, outside Soto City!

After several days, Xu Sheng finally arrived at this place…

He carefully examined the surrounding buildings and found they were almost identical to his impression...

He couldn't help but sigh, "Hmm, it's still the same as before, it seems nothing unexpected has happened due to the appearance of me and the Abyssal Emperor!"

However, no sooner had the words left his mouth than he saw many parents with children, cursing as they approached...

"Damn it, Shrek Academy is so shameless, they charged five golden soul coins for registration even though my child didn't get in!"

"That's right, that's right, you can tell the academy is run-down, and yet they are so picky. They must be crazy about money!"

"Exactly, not only do they charge five golden soul coins for registration, but they also require a student's soul power rank to reach level 21. With that kind of talent, who would come to an academy they've never even heard of?"

"This kind of worthless academy is bound to close down eventually! Pah!"

A flicker passed through Xu Sheng's dark eyes as he instantly understood everything...

It was certain, today was the day Shrek Academy was recruiting students...

However, to cause such dissatisfaction among so many applicants was indeed a bit too much!

With that in mind, he walked in the opposite direction from where these people had come...

Indeed, he hadn't gone far before he saw the recruitment booth of Shrek Academy...

It was a dilapidated straw hut leaking air, inside which a robust middle-aged man was lying down, glancing at the line of people from time to time, shouting, "Those who want to join Shrek Academy, line up here. You need to pay a registration fee of five golden soul coins first. Once paid, it's non-refundable. If you are not willing, please leave now!"

"After paying the golden soul coins, go to the side to measure your foundation and soul power. You can only enroll if you meet the requirements!"

Next to him, another man was seated, measuring the root bones and Soul Power of the applicants...

He released the boy's arm, shaking his head, "Your age exceeds our academy's standard, please leave. Of course, the registration fee is non-refundable!"

The boy was on the verge of tears, angrily said, "Wha...what? Are you...are you just robbing us?"

The man said indifferently, "Robbing? Didn't you listen to what was said earlier? The registration fee is non-refundable."

"The same goes for others. If your child's talent isn't sufficient, it's better to leave early. Otherwise, you're just wasting golden soul coins!"

"Of course, if you want to try and take it back by force, you are very welcome to try."

Having said that, he erupted with a powerful aura, and six soul rings floated up from beneath his feet...

With these words, coupled with the intimidation from a Soul Emperor, the queue began to stir, and some chose to leave...

After finishing, the man shot a glance to the side, speaking irritably, "I say, Zhao Wuji, stop just lying there—put in some effort, will you? Recruitment is our job, both of us!"

Zhao Wuji curled his lips, waved his hand dismissively and said, "Li Yusong, with the way things are, do I really need to make an effort? You're enough on your own."

Despite the long queue, he knew very well that none of them were likely to meet Shrek Academy's admission criteria!

After all, those kind of students were geniuses among geniuses, which weren't so easily found!

Li Yusong heaved a silent sigh, feeling the same way, so he sat back down and continued to test the root bones of the girl before him...

Xu Sheng, standing at the very back of the line, thought to himself, "Interesting, so now it's Zhao Wuji and Li Yusong who are handling the recruitment?"

But it made sense, Dai Mubai probably hadn't joined Shrek Academy yet!

With so many people queuing to register, I guess we will have to wait a bit longer…

…

After waiting for about fifteen minutes, nearly all the people in line had left…

The reason was simple; up to now, not a single child had passed the test. To those parents, wasn't that just throwing away money?

Watching the departing figures, Zhao Wuji said with regret, "Ah, each person is worth five golden soul coins, what a pity…"

Li Yusong also sighed, "That's right, our academy has been operating at a loss for the past few years. If we can't recruit more students, it won't be long before we have to close down."

Just then, Xu Sheng stepped up to the table and softly said, "Elders, the admissions for Shrek Academy haven't ended yet, right?"

Li Yusong coughed and answered, "Of course, it's not over. If you want to register, you need to pay the golden soul coins first!"

After saying that, he pointed at the metal box on the table…

Xu Sheng nodded in understanding, and was just about to pay the golden soul coins when…

Zhao Wuji suddenly interrupted, "You're a curious one, kid. Didn't you see everyone else leave?"

"If you don't want to waste your golden soul coins for nothing, I advise you to leave."

Xu Sheng just chuckled, "Is that so? There's no need for you to worry, Elder. I am not short on golden soul coins."

With that, he casually tossed a bag onto the table…

Zhao Wuji was annoyed and didn't think the boy could produce much money; he carelessly grabbed the bag…

But when he felt the substantial weight inside, he suddenly sat up straight…

He quickly opened it, and his eyes lit up with excitement, "Fi... Fifty golden soul coins, is this… meeting the God of Wealth?!"

He immediately urged, "Li Yusong, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and test his soul root!!"

Whether he met the criteria or not, those fifty golden soul coins were theirs now!

Li Yusong also came to his senses and said, "Now, place your right arm on the table, and I will test your soul root."

Perhaps the golden soul coins had an effect because his tone was noticeably softer…

Xu Sheng naturally did as instructed…

Li Yusong extended two fingers to the pulse on his wrist and after scrutinizing it for a while, he said in surprise, "Hm? Not even ten years old, although that does meet the enrollment requirements."

However, when he saw Xu Sheng's exceptionally young face, he shook his head, "Soul power rank… eh, it's not necessary to test. So young, how could you possibly have cultivated to level 21!"

Hearing this, Zhao Wuji finally waved his hand impatiently at Xu Sheng, "Alright alright, you do not meet our Shrek Academy's admission standards, off you go, come back later!"

Great, he didn't expect the last person to register would be so kind as to give them money!

If he quietly took a bit, surely Flander wouldn't notice, right??

At worst, he could share some with that guy Li Yusong, right?

Xu Sheng didn't leave but questioned instead, "Elder, that doesn't seem quite right, does it? Don't forget, you've taken my fifty golden soul coins!"

"Besides, without conducting the soul power rank test, how can you know that I don't meet the admission criteria?"

A mischievous streak rose in his heart, and he felt like teasing these two guys a bit...
