Douluo Continent: The Book of Witness and Peerless Tang Sect

What should have been a journey that would have taken only about half a month if they had gone all out took the Longyou trio two whole months to complete, in their Soul-Guided Off-Road Vehicle, which could travel at 60 kilometers per hour.

It wasn't until the new semester at Shrek Academy was about to begin and the enrollment process for new students started that the trio finally managed to wander into Shrek City.

After putting away their Soul-Guided Off-Road Vehicle at a distance, the trio from Longyou walked towards the magnificent city in the distance.

“This is a new city.” Although he hadn’t entered the city yet, having lived in ancient cities with a strong sense of history like Xingluo City and Tiandou City since birth, Long You could immediately tell that this large city was “young”.

However, "Although it's a new city, it's actually still an old city!"

Even without reaching the city walls, Long You could see the prosperity of Shrek City, but this magnificent sight still couldn't dispel the thoughts in his heart. Though he didn't say it aloud, one sentence flashed through Long You's mind.

Our ancestors emerged from the wilderness and built city walls to protect their land. The emergence of city walls made a significant contribution to the prosperity of human civilization.

However, as human civilization further prospers, city walls will eventually become a constraint restricting its further development. At that time, city walls will no longer be a necessary feature of human settlements, just like the Ming capital, which was ahead of its time.

"From this small example, we can see the bigger picture. The Sun Moon Empire's offensive was indeed destined all along!"

Overwhelmed with emotion, Long You unknowingly fell a few steps behind Tang Ya and Bei Bei. So, though very softly, Long You still managed to voice his thoughts.

However, Long You was still just a minor three-ring Soul Master, and it was far too early for him to be thinking about national conflicts and the situation on the continent. After a brief moment of reflection, Long You quickly composed himself and caught up with Bei Bei and Tang Ya again.

Shrek Academy is located on the eastern side of Shrek City, and the east gate of Shrek City is the academy's main gate. While the south, west, and north gates of Shrek City are open to all, the east gate is exclusively for Shrek Academy students.

Approaching the East Gate, one can see that the area around this gate, which is only open to academy students, is bustling with activity. It's the peak season for new student enrollment, and a large number of vendors have gathered there; the hustle and bustle outside the city is no less than that inside.

The trio of Long You arrived at Shrek City rather late; by then, a long line of new students had already formed at the main gate. They consciously stood at the back of the line, and the lively discussions and conversations between the new students and the upperclassmen checking the entrance automatically reached their ears.

After listening for a short while, Long You realized that the students in their class were no different from those who would enroll three years later. The admission requirements were the same, and they would both face the new student entrance examination three months later.

The enrollment process at the main gate was a bit more complicated compared to that of the Heaven Dou City Junior Soul Master Academy. This was mainly because the senior students responsible for enrollment checks needed to verify the recommendation letters in the new students' hands.

Compared to ten thousand years ago, Shrek Academy's entrance requirements for soul power level have been slightly lowered; students only need to reach level fifteen before the age of twelve. However, the entry threshold remains strict. Only junior soul master academy students holding recommendation letters from the main city level have a chance to become new students at Shrek Academy.

All three of them had recommendation letters, but the one Tang Ya held was actually one she had created herself. Although the Tang Sect had declined for a long time, Shrek Academy still reserved one admission spot for the Tang Sect members without examination every year.

Tang Ya's talent was not enough for the Heaven Dou City Primary Soul Master Academy to issue a recommendation letter, but as the current sect leader of the Tang Sect, Tang Ya could issue a recommendation letter to herself.

However, this doesn't matter. Although the recommended books are different, Tang Ya's soul power level and age are actually in line with the requirements.

After enrolling in the Junior Soul Master Academy, Tang Ya obtained her first soul ring in just one year. However, her Blue Silver Grass martial soul was ultimately too ordinary, and the path after the first ring was extremely difficult for her. For a full five years, Tang Ya's soul power level remained stuck at level 19, preventing her from becoming a two-ring soul master before enrolling in Shrek Academy.

It doesn't matter. Long You will do his best to make sure that Tang Ya doesn't feel so much pressure when facing Bei Bei, so that she doesn't encounter any mishaps when she returns to Tian Dou City alone.

Long You and Bei Bei have already joined the Tang Sect and gained the qualification to learn Tang Sect techniques. It must be said that the Xuan Tian Gong that Tang San brought to this world is indeed profound.

After obtaining the Mysterious Heaven Skill, Long You immediately wanted to use the Book of Witness Martial Soul to combine the Long family's inherited techniques with the Mysterious Heaven Skill, optimizing it into a more perfect technique. This would allow Tang Ya and Huo Yuhao, who would later join the Tang Sect, to accelerate their soul power circulation by leveraging the advantages of the technique.

However, three months after obtaining the Xuan Tian Gong, Long You still failed to achieve his goal.

This made Long You suspect that the Xuan Tian Gong and the meditation method optimized from the Long family's family tradition by the Book of Witness martial soul might be two completely different systems.

Whether it's two systems or not, in short, as long as the Book of Witness doesn't go on strike, Longyou cannot give up.

Because the technique to be optimized and integrated was from the Tang Clan, Long You didn't hide it from Bei Bei and Tang Ya, even though it involved the Long family's ancestral techniques. The two were now filled with curiosity about what the combined product of the three techniques would be.

That's right, there are three kinds. Long You took out the Long family's inherited martial arts technique, and Bei Bei, feeling that she couldn't take advantage of her brother, also quietly took out the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family's inherited martial arts technique.

Long You and Bei Bei's act of secretly taking out their family's inherited cultivation technique was truly audacious in this era. If their elders found out, they would have to take back the inheritance of the technique (abolishing their martial spirit).

However, some things, if not known to others, are simply not done. Furthermore, while it was wrong for Long You and Bei Bei to bring out their family's inherited techniques, it was a merit to combine them with the inherited techniques of two other families and optimize their own family's techniques.

The merits and demerits cancel each other out. Even if they are discovered, the Long family and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family won't say anything. In private, the two families might even gradually become closer, and they might even help the declining Tang Clan.

The test at the school gate went smoothly, and the trio lined up to enter the school. Shrek's campus had a similar feel to the top-ranked universities in Longyou's previous life.

The pedestrian path is wide and straight. Walking along it, you can see at least ten different kinds of plants in any direction you turn your head. A hundred meters ahead, there are two rows of statues: the Golden Iron Triangle, who made contributions to the development of Shrek Academy ten thousand years ago, and the first generation of Shrek Seven Devils.
