Peerless Tang Sect: Hurricane Infinite Wind

Chapter 12 Heading to Shrek City
An hour later, Wu Xuan and his group finally left the Star Dou Great Forest and continued to move forward 30 kilometers.

At this distance, it can be said that they have completely left the radiation range of the Star Dou Great Forest, and there is no need to worry about encountering soul beasts wandering out of the Star Dou Great Forest.

The sound of trickling water came from not far away. Under the starlight, a clear stream reflecting the starry sky appeared in everyone's sight.

Huo Yuhao, relying on the powerful vision granted by his Spirit Eyes, clearly spotted the shadows of fish swimming at the bottom of the stream. He exclaimed in surprise, "Teacher Xiaoya, the fish I used to make grilled fish were caught in this river."

"Really?!" Tang Ya's bright eyes lit up when she heard that. "Come on, Xiao Yuhao. Beibei will help you catch the fish this time, and you just need to grill it. Tonight's dinner is up to you."

"Yes, Teacher Xiaoya."

"Junior Wu Xuan! Yuhao's grilled fish is a must-try. You must try it tonight." Looking at Tang Ya who was directing Huo Yuhao and herself, Bei Bei shook her head helplessly.

"Is it really that delicious?" Wu Xuan raised his eyebrows.

"Of course! You'll know in a moment." Seeing this, Beibei smiled and stopped chatting. He walked to the stream and put his right hand into the water. A blue-purple electric light flashed, and more than a dozen stunned black carps turned upside down and floated up. Then he used the method of controlling cranes and catching dragons to suck them directly to the stream.

Seeing this, Wu Xuan was not idle either. He waved his hand and a strong wind swept around him, and the dead branches of several large trees around him broke.

The bonfire fluttered in the wind, and the four people sat around it, adding a bit of warmth to the silent forest.

Huo Yuhao threaded a few cleaned blue carps with thin branches, leaned against the campfire, and slowly flipped them back and forth.

Before long, a unique aroma began to permeate the bonfire. The white and tender fish meat gradually turned golden yellow, accompanied by a strong aroma, which was particularly tempting.

Huo Yuhao handed the first batch of grilled fish to Wu Xuan, Tang Ya and Bei Bei respectively, and then continued to prepare the next batch of ingredients.

"It's so delicious! How come it's so different from the one I baked myself?" Tang Ya couldn't help but sigh.

"Teacher Xiaoya! This may be related to my martial soul! Because my martial soul is the spiritual eye, I can grasp the heat and the timing of adding seasonings more accurately." Huo Yuhao explained.

Wu Xuan also took a bite of the grilled fish in his hand, his eyes suddenly brightening. He had to admit that Huo Yuhao was really good at grilling fish. If he were asked to replicate it one-to-one, he would definitely not be able to do it.

In addition to Huo Yuhao's grilled fish, the three of them took out some food they had brought with them from their respective storage soul guides. The four of them sat together and had a sumptuous dinner.

Tang Ya was in great spirits and ended up eating a little more. After she was full, she fell asleep leaning against a big tree next to the campfire.

Huo Yuhao endured the dual fatigue of body and mind and began to practice the Xuantian Gong that Bei Bei taught him yesterday.

Finally, Wu Xuan and Bei Bei negotiated that Wu Xuan would guard the first night and Bei Bei would guard the second night.

The next morning, after eating some food, the four of them set off and headed west.

Shrek Academy is located in the southeastern part of the Tianhun Empire. To its southeast lies the Xingdou Great Forest, to its east lies the Douling Empire, and to its south lies the Xingluo Empire. It can be said that Shrek Academy is situated at the intersection of the three empires.

Two days later, Wu Xuan and his three companions finally saw the location of Shrek Academy.

Shrek is more like a city than an academy. Following the main road out of the jungle, high city walls stretch out to the left and right across the plain in the distance.

Shrek Academy was built on the Lima Plain, encompassing an immense expanse of land. Shrek City was one of the largest cities on the Douluo Continent, home to over two million people. Shrek Academy had sole jurisdiction over the city, paying no taxes to any other nation. This alone made it unmatched by any other academy in any nation, including the Sun-Moon Empire.

Shrek Academy is not located in the center of Shrek City, but in the east of Shrek City, because it faces the direction of the Star Forest.

Shrek City boasts extensive roads extending east, west, south, and north, offering convenient transportation. It's not only home to Shrek Academy, but also serves as the most important commercial city at the junction of the three former Douluo Continent empires. Thanks to Shrek Academy, Shrek City enjoys excellent public security, making trade fair and reassuring. Consequently, merchants from the three empires often choose Shrek City as their destination for international trade.

The three gates in the south, west and north of Shrek City can be entered and exited at will, but the east gate is exclusively for Shrek Academy.

Led by Bei Bei and Tang Ya, Wu Xuan and Huo Yuhao arrived outside the East City Gate.

Although this city was solely for Shrek Academy's use, it was bustling with activity. At least five thousand people gathered outside the East City Gate, creating a bustling atmosphere. A large number of merchants had already heard the news and were eager to join the movement. It was estimated that the area outside the city was even busier than the inner city.

"The academy's enrollment will last for half a month, and today happens to be the first day. If a few more days pass, the number of people outside the East City Gate will probably more than double. This time of year is the busiest time for our Shrek Academy." Seeing Wu Xuan looking around with interest, Beibei explained at the right time.

"Ordinary freshmen who wish to enroll must not only pass the academy's assessment, but also obtain a letter of recommendation from at least the main city level of one of the three empires. Yuhao used our Tang Sect's recommendation quota, but Junior Brother Wuxuan, you must keep your letter of recommendation carefully to avoid delaying your enrollment."

Previously, the four of them faced the thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider together in the Star Dou Great Forest. In addition, after spending every day together along the way, the relationship between the four of them has obviously become much more intimate and natural.

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Bei. It's just that this is my first time in Shrek City. I want to walk around the city first and feel the local customs and culture." Wu Xuan smiled and nodded slightly. The boy's hearty laughter, coupled with his fair and handsome features, attracted the attention of many passers-by.

There is no shortage of new female students among them.

Feeling the strange gazes gathering towards him, Wu Xuan immediately stopped laughing.

At this time, Huo Yuhao asked anxiously, "Big Brother, Teacher Xiaoya, are the new student assessments difficult?"

Beibei hesitated for a moment and looked at Tang Ya subconsciously.

Tang Ya said straightforwardly, "He'll know sooner or later. This will also be his motivation for future efforts. Tell him. Yuhao, there are two requirements for admission to Shrek Academy's outer courtyard. The first is that you must be no older than twelve years old, and the second requirement is that your spirit power must be no less than level fifteen."

"However, you are using our Tang Sect's special recruitment quota, so you can be exempted from the test. However, the freshman assessment in three months will be on your own. Our Shrek Academy assessments are always actual combat."

Bei Bei patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder and said, "A teacher once said that any statistics pale in comparison to actual combat. As long as you pass the combat assessment, it doesn't matter if your spirit power level doesn't meet the requirements."

Huo Yuhao nodded vigorously. "Teacher Xiaoya, Senior Brother, perhaps I don't meet the admission requirements now, but I will definitely fight for my life in the freshman assessment three months from now." His tone was calm beyond his years, and his eyes were firmer than his years.

"Haha! Then Senior Brother and your teacher Xiaoya will wait and see."

"Senior Bei! Senior Tang! Yuhao! Let's say goodbye now. See you at Shrek Academy." Wu Xuan bowed.

"Okay! Junior Wu Xuan, see you at the academy!"

Wu Xuan nodded and turned to leave.

"Okay, stop looking. Let's go! I'll take you to register." Beibei was a head taller than Huo Yuhao. She put her arm around his shoulders and headed towards Shrek Academy.
