Peerless Tang Sect: Hurricane Infinite Wind

Chapter 40 Return to College

Early morning, Shrek City!
Wu Xuan took a deep breath and looked quietly at the huge city gate in front of him.

According to the information gathered along the way, the three kingdoms of Douluo Continent are frantically preparing for war and expanding their armaments to counter the growing might of the Sun-Moon Empire. They have no time to spare for the trivial matters of evil spirit masters slaughtering villages and towns.

This city in front of us might be the safest place on the entire continent! Wu Xuan sighed.

Wu Xuan slowly walked into Shrek City. Although the holiday had only lasted about twenty days, a large number of people were already pouring into the gates of Shrek Academy. Aside from a handful of returning seniors, the vast majority were parents and relatives bringing their children to register for the freshman entrance exam.

This is the rule of Shrek Academy. No matter where you come from or where you get the recommendation letter, if you fail the entrance examination, you will all be sent back home.

Some senior students were assisting the teachers with the assessment at the school gate. Although they were only students, those who could represent Shrek Academy here were at least at the level of a three-ringed Soul Master. At that level, Soul Masters held considerable status on the continent.

The minimum requirement for graduating from Shrek Academy's outer school is only a four-ring soul master.

Wu Xuan went straight to the teacher's office building behind the senior teaching building and found Wang Yan's office.

As the head teacher of the freshman class, which is now the second-grade class one, Wang Yan needed to preside over the students' registration in the next few days, so he came to the college very early.

The door of Wang Yan's office was open.

"Boom boom boom——"

Wu Xuan knocked lightly on the heavy wooden door a few times.

"Please come in!"

Wang Yan's gentle voice soon rang out in the office.

Wu Xuan walked in quickly. Wang Yan was the only one in the huge office at that moment. There were no other teachers, and no students who had come to report.

Wang Yan saw Wu Xuan and waved with a smile. "Wu Xuan, you're here so early. How was your vacation? Did you have a wonderful time?"

As he spoke, Wang Yan handed a form to Wu Xuan.

Wu Xuan took the form and recalled his experiences over the past few days. He couldn't help but nod with a smile: "Well, it was pretty exciting!"

Registration was just a matter of filling out the information on the form. According to the rules of Shrek Academy, this process still had to be followed, and it had to be filled out in person.

Wu Xuan quickly finished filling out the form and asked Wang Yan, "By the way, Teacher Wang, is Director Du in the office now? I have something to talk to him about."

"You need help from Director Du?" Wang Yan looked at Wu Xuan in surprise, but he didn't ask any further questions. He continued, "The old students will be back in a few days. Director Du won't be leaving his office unless something unexpected happens. If you want to see him, go to his office."

"Thank you, Teacher Wang." Wu Xuan bowed to Wang Yan, then walked up the stairs to Du Weilun's office on the top floor.

The door of Du Weilun's office was also open. When Wu Xuan arrived at the door, Du Weilun was drinking tea leisurely.

"Director Du!" Wu Xuan knocked on the door.

"Classmate Wu, what do you want to talk to me about?" Du Weilun put down his teacup and looked at Wu Xuan with some surprise. His tone had changed from serious to much more relaxed.

Excellent students can get preferential treatment anywhere, not to mention that Yan Shaozhe had specifically explained it before.

Wu Xuan said respectfully, "Director Du, weren't the top three teams in the freshman assessment allowed to apply to hunt for spirit rings? I wonder if I can now apply to the academy for a fourth spirit ring that would be most suitable for me?"

Du Weilun stood up suddenly, his composure instantly changing. "You mean your soul power has reached level 40?"

Wu Xuan nodded.

Seeing Wu Xuan nod, Du Weilun's big, broad hands were already clasped tightly on Wu Xuan's shoulders. After the inspection, Du Weilun's frown finally relaxed.

"It is indeed level 40 soul power! The soul power is solid and has a deep foundation. It doesn't look like it was achieved by borrowing external objects."

Having said that, Du Weilun looked at Wu Xuan with a burning gaze.

A Soul Master around twelve years old—this had already broken Shrek Academy's ten-thousand-year record. Even his state of mind was stirred by this. "Student Wu, please wait a moment. I'll contact Dean Yan." Du Weilun said as he picked up a voice-transmitting soul guide from the table, pressed a button, and injected his soul power into it.

Yan Shaozhe's gentle voice soon sounded from the other side.

"Vellen?"

"Dean Yan, it's me." Du Weilun's tone was very respectful.

Du Weilun said excitedly, "Dean Yan, Wu Xuan, the top freshman, has already broken through to level 40 in spirit power. He has now formally applied to the academy to assist him in obtaining his fourth spirit ring."

Du Weilun finished speaking in one breath and waited for a long time but Yan Shaozhe did not respond.

Just as he was about to say something, Yan Shaozhe's voice came again from the sound transmission soul guide.

"You let the little guy wait for a while, I will come here in person." Not long after the voice transmission soul guide was interrupted, Yan Shaozhe in white clothes appeared out of thin air outside Du Weilun's office door.

He was actually still on the Sea God Island just a moment ago, but with his soul power reaching level 95, it only took him a moment to get here.

Yan Shaozhe waved his hand to stop the two people who were about to salute, and looked at Wu Xuan with burning eyes.

After a moment, a gentle smile returned to his face, and he said, "Student Wu, you're quite good. I want to tell you that you've broken the ten-thousand-year record of Shrek Academy. You're the first person to reach level 40 at the age of twelve. Your name will be recorded in the records of the Sea God Pavilion."

Wu Xuan stood there in a daze, not understanding what the record Yan Shaozhe was talking about was.

"Little guy, why don't you thank Dean Yan quickly? The Poseidon Pavilion Chronicles only includes the names of the Poseidon Pavilion elders or geniuses who have broken certain records." Du Weilun reminded with envy.

"Ah! Thank you, Dean Yan!" Wu Xuan bowed, but said indifferently in his heart.

"Well, classmate Wu, you've arrived by chance this time. Today, two students in the inner courtyard who have reached a bottleneck in their cultivation are planning to form a team to hunt for spirit rings in the Star Dou Great Forest. You should go with them."

As he finished speaking, Wu Xuan's body was enveloped by a powerful spirit force. The next moment, the two of them appeared simultaneously above the vast Sea God Lake, not far from the teacher's office building.

The waters of Poseidon Lake are azure, shrouded in mist. From a distance, Poseidon Island appears not flat, but rather like a hill, with various pavilions and towers built atop it. Everything appears so peaceful and tranquil, like a paradise. The fresh air, rich with the scent of life, is so refreshing.

"Is this the inner courtyard?" Wu Xuan said with shining eyes.

Yan Shaozhe nodded slightly, the smile on his face seeming to grow even wider. "Student Wu Xuan, I believe that soon, you will also be one of them."

"Thank you for your affirmation, Dean Yan. I think so too." Wu Xuan said with a smile.

"Haha! You are so immodest."

While the two were talking, Poseidon Island was already within sight.

As Wu Xuan and the other man landed, three inner court students came forward to greet them respectfully, "President Yan."

Yan Shaozhe patted Wu Xuan on the shoulder and introduced him to the three of them, "His name is Wu Xuan, a student from the outer courtyard. This time we are going to the Xingdou Great Forest to hunt for spirit rings, and he will be going with you."

"Le Xuan! Take good care of him on the way." Yan Shaozhe looked at a female student and instructed.

"Yes!" The female student named Le Xuan nodded.

Wu Xuan looked at the quiet and gentle woman in front of him and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Boy, remember, you must find the spirit ring that suits you best. Even if you miss the entrance exam, it won't be a problem." Yan Shaozhe looked at Wu Xuan and instructed again.

"Yes, Dean Yan!" Wu Xuan nodded heavily.

Yan Shaozhe smiled and then left the place directly.
