Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor-Chapter 316: Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor []

Tang San smiled, and Tang Hao smiled, but who knows whether they would still be able to smile in the future?

The next day, Tang San left the Rose Hotel, hurriedly had a meal at a roadside stall with Xiao Wu, and then headed to a village outside the city in search of Shrek Academy. Meanwhile, outside the village where Shrek Academy was located, Chen Ming was roasting a Soft Bone Rabbit that seemed to have come from some nearby forest, all the while keeping an eye on the situation.

Unlike in the past, when many people lined up, eager to join Shrek Academy—famed for being the academy of the youngest elder in Spirit Hall—it was now desolate. Aside from a few soul masters whose soul ring levels and ages were unimpressive, no one else was lining up to enter.

Sitting at a table, Li Yusong was idly munching on sunflower seeds. If it weren't for the sign next to him, no one would have guessed that this seemingly bored farmer was a teacher at an academy.

When Tang San and Xiao Wu hesitantly approached the booth, seemingly intending to register, Li Yusong stopped munching on his sunflower seeds, his expression complex.

"Sir, is this Shrek Academy?" Xiao Wu bent down, looking at the simple table and sign, her tone filled with doubt as she addressed Li Yusong, who was sitting on a stool.

"Ah," Li Yusong sighed. "Yes, this is Shrek Academy. Are you here to register or to look for someone?"

Because of the current students' behavior and reputation, Li Yusong has been confronted by angry visitors more than once. Although he could often use his soul power to drive them away, hearing about Shrek Academy's worsening reputation in Souto City left him feeling helpless.

Over time, due to the frequent confrontations—plus the fact that Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun had just gone into the city the previous day—Li Yusong now instinctively assumed that any decent-looking woman accompanied by a male companion was here to demand an explanation.

Honestly, Li Yusong was starting to suspect that if things continued like this, Shrek Academy might get labeled as a den of degenerates.

In reality, if Spirit Hall ever decided to investigate, Shrek Academy would indeed have quite a few problems. While no one had pursued these issues in recent years, Zhao Wuji was technically a wanted criminal.

Li Yusong feared that one day, Spirit Hall might come knocking, and he'd end up caught in the crossfire. If not for the fact that Shrek Academy was his dream and something he had poured years of effort into, he would have quit this thankless job long ago.

"Hmm? We're here to register, not to look for anyone," Tang San replied.

"Register? Then pay the tuition fee of ten gold spirit coins first." Hearing the word "register," Li Yusong's eyes lit up. He immediately grabbed an empty box from the ground, placed it on the table, and gave the two of them a beaming smile.

Xiao Wu glanced at Tang San, who looked at Li Yusong, then finally pulled out twenty gold spirit coins and tossed them into the box.

Hearing the sound of coins falling into the box, Li Yusong's expression mirrored Flender's trademark grin.

"Here at Shrek Academy, we require applicants to be twelve years old and have a soul power level of at least 25, with optimal spirit ring configurations. Bone age, spirit power, and soul ring quality—none of these can be lacking. This is the true Monster Academy's admission standard. If your talent doesn't meet the requirements, the gold spirit coins will not be refunded."

"Now, summon your martial souls, then hold out your hands so I can check your bone age."

Tang San and Xiao Wu summoned their martial souls, displaying their soul rings. Li Yusong examined Xiao Wu's bone age by touching her hand, and after noticing Tang San's hands bore signs of specialized training, he checked his leg bones as well. Only then did he prepare to personally lead them to the next stage of the admissions process.

However, as if some kind of switch had been flipped, just as Tang San and Xiao Wu finished their spirit tests, another pair of people approached.

A young girl in a white dress walked over, followed by a maid in a heavy servant's outfit. Upon closer inspection, it was evident that both the master and the servant had exceptionally striking appearances.

The young girl at the front carried herself with a casual air. Although she wore a plain long dress, her demeanor suggested a noble upbringing. The maid behind her, though more reserved in appearance, still possessed an extraordinary beauty, her mature yet youthful face exuding a unique charm.

There was no doubt that these two were Ning Rongrong and Little Wu (the maid dragon girl). Ever since Little Wu began cultivating soul power, she had been taken in by Bone Douluo as a disciple and groomed as a future titled Douluo candidate. Under Ning Fengzhi's influence, she and Ning Rongrong developed a sisterly bond.

Little Wu's introverted nature made her enjoy her role as a follower. Despite her young age, she had already taken on the responsibility of cleaning up Ning Rongrong's messes, one of the few people who could rein in Ning Rongrong's mischievous personality within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.

At Ning Rongrong's signal, Little Wu reluctantly pulled out twenty gold spirit coins from her soul storage, hesitated for a moment, then painfully dropped them into the box.

In front of everyone, Ning Rongrong summoned her martial soul: the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, with two yellow soul rings coiling around it. Little Wu's martial soul followed, with parts of her body undergoing dragonification, emanating a suppressive aura as two yellow and one purple soul ring appeared around her.

Sensing their martial souls and soul power, Li Yusong was stunned. After checking their bone ages, his expression turned complex.

"May I ask if I've passed the initial test?" Ning Rongrong stepped forward and asked, noticing Li Yusong's frown.

"Do your families know you're here?"

Although their martial souls, soul power, and ages all met the requirements, considering the academy's increasingly volatile and stingy students—especially Ma Hongjun, who had practically turned into a lustful beast, and the overly feminine Dai Mubai—Li Yusong hesitated to accept these two young ladies into the academy.

After all, if anyone within the academy offended them, Shrek Academy would undoubtedly face annihilation at the hands of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.

Just as Ning Rongrong was about to say something to insist on joining this peculiar-looking academy, a light cough sounded from a distance. Although it wasn't loud, it was clear and impossible to ignore.

Not far away, a young man holding a roasted rabbit began walking toward them. His steps seemed ordinary, and the distance wasn't far, yet with each step, the distance between him and the group visibly shrank.

After just five or six steps, he appeared beside Ning Rongrong and Little Wu. The aroma of roasted meat wafted into the noses of Tang San and Xiao Wu.

Smelling the scent of the roasted Soft Bone Rabbit, Xiao Wu, being one herself, showed no negative reaction. Instead, she subconsciously licked her lips, looking somewhat tempted.

It wasn't unusual—mother rabbits often ate their own young for nutrition or if they judged a kit to be too weak. As a 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit, Xiao Wu had consumed her kind countless times.

Not only was she unbothered by this, but she even wanted to praise the chef's skill.

Meanwhile, Tang San and Li Yusong looked at the young man with expressions of caution and disbelief. They could tell that the man's steps just now were a manifestation of extremely profound soul power.
