Douluo Continent, my martial soul is a mushroom.

Chapter 92 Reunion, Communication Experiment No. 5000

In September of Douluo Calendar 2650, Shrek Academy began its 7th middle school admissions and its 1st university admissions.

The marble school gate was almost always crowded with examinees who had come to take the exam. It was not exactly a sea of ​​people, but from a distance, you could only see a throng of heads.

The order was maintained by teachers and students, all dressed in black cloud-patterned uniforms and white cloud-patterned school uniforms, which are usually worn for large ceremonies.

The candidates participating in the assessment came from all walks of life, and nobles and commoners were treated equally under the management of the students and teachers. Occasionally, those who caused trouble were promptly suppressed by the students.

"It's so lively!"

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing stood not far away, sighing with emotion.

"Sir, Madam, today is Shrek Academy's admissions day. If you wish to participate or visit the school, please present your Soul Master's Manual and other relevant documents." The young man, who looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old, stopped the two and said in a serious tone.

He had been watching Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing for quite some time. The two of them had been observing without making any moves, which was quite suspicious.

Dai Mubai glanced at the badge on the young man's chest.

An ugly Shrek school badge, a sword-blade emblem.

The latter has six marks and three small stars at the bottom, which represent the sixth grade of the middle school and the cultivation level of Soul Venerable.

—Pingzi's dream has come true! An 18-year-old Soul Master, he could graduate directly from any advanced Soul Master academy.

"Junior, we're not here to register. Are Dean Flander and Vice Dean Zhao Wuji here?" Dai Mubai asked.

The student paused, then frowned and asked, "Are you a graduate of Shrek Academy?"

Shrek Academy only has one graduating class right now, and each one of them is a genius. The most outstanding one is already the dean of the academy.

Dai Mubai nodded. "That's good. Can you tell me where the two deans are?"

The student shook his head. "Please show your identification. This is the academy's rule."

Dai Mubai shrugged, took out his Soul Master's Handbook, and asked curiously, "What if I didn't bring it?"

"I will take you to the reception room. If you know anyone at the academy, we will inform them for you. If not, please leave." The student said while checking the Soul Master's Notebook, which was very difficult to fake.

Dai Mubai and... Zhu Zhuqing?

The latest records are... the advancement of the Star Luo City Martial Soul Temple to Soul Emperor in Douluo Calendar 2648 and the advancement to Soul King in Douluo Calendar 2649?

His eyes widened, revealing a look of shock and admiration.

"Senior Dai Mubai? Senior Zhu Zhuqing?"

"We are," Dai Mubai said with a smile. "Now, can you tell us where the Dean is?"

The student nodded. "Please wait a moment."

He took a metal plate from his waist, input his soul power to activate it, and an input box appeared on the crystal screen.

"Junior, what's that?"

The student explained, "This is a campus network system terminal provided by the Dean to the academy's staff. It's a real-time communication soul guide device for the campus. Senior students, Dean Flander stepped down two months ago to become the Vice Dean. The current Dean is Senior Chi Ping."

"Pingzi is back?" Dai Mubai was taken aback.

The student nodded.

……

Two minutes later, two figures, one in red and one in blue, fell from the sky.

Upon seeing this, the student immediately went off to handle the enrollment matters, as this was related to academic credits.

Academic credits are crucial for graduation and further education, so don't be careless!

Amidst the radiance of soul power, a handsome man and a beautiful woman appeared. One radiant with fire, the other icy; one masculine, the other graceful; both adorned with feather patterns. They held hands intimately.

"Brother Dai, Zhu Qing! You guys are really late. Brother Ping, Xiao Wu, Xiao Ao, and Rong Rong arrived a long time ago." The boy said in a nonchalant tone.

"Fatty?"

Ma Hongjun narrowed his eyes. "If you call me that nickname again, I'll beat you up!"

When Ma Hongjun was a child, his martial soul mutated, causing him to be chubby and weak. Later, with Chi Ping's help, he cultivated his qi and blood, and his martial soul evolved and improved on its own, which gradually solved the problem.

Five years ago, Ma Hongjun was already barely considered handsome; now, his temperament and image are naturally even better. He has a tall and imposing figure, and his eyes seem to burn with an inextinguishable flame.

Only Dai Mubai would call him by that nickname because of stereotypes!

Ma Hongjun had always been unhappy about this, and now that his girlfriend was around, he was even more annoyed. If he weren't outmatched, he would have definitely given Dai Mubai a good beating.

"Shui Bing'er?" Zhu Zhuqing asked in surprise, "You two got together?"

Accompanying Ma Hongjun to greet Dai Mubai and his companion was an acquaintance: Shui Bing'er, the owner of the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, from the Tianshui Academy team five years ago. Over the past five years, Flander had frequently taken Ma Hongjun to Tianshui Academy under the guise of exchange visits, and the two young people eventually became friends.

Shui Bing'er nodded gently and reservedly.

Holding Shui Bing'er's hand, Ma Hongjun proudly said, "Bing'er is my girlfriend now! We plan to get married in two years."

Dai Mubai nodded. "I never expected you, Fatty, to have such an amazing girlfriend!"

"What are you saying! Although Bing'er is excellent, I'm not bad either!"

Dai Mubai clicked his tongue.

"So you're saying everyone's back?"

—What do you mean by that!

Ma Hongjun was a little angry, but he couldn't show it in front of his junior and girlfriend. He suppressed his desire to investigate and nodded, saying, "Everyone except Tang San has arrived; you were the last ones. By the way, from what you're saying, you didn't receive the letter from Brother Ping? I heard Brother Ping say that he couldn't find Tang San, but he notified everyone else, right?"

Dai Mubai was surprised, and scratched his head embarrassedly, "The royal family has too many troubles, and we only managed to squeeze in time from our busy schedules."

The succession to the throne is a complex process. Although Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing have proven themselves to be more outstanding and more suitable to inherit the throne than Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun, there is still a long process to go through.

Ma Hongjun snorted, but he already understood the difficulties the two were facing.

He released Shui Bing'er's hand, stepped forward, and gave her a bear hug.

Welcome back!

Although they might be sharp-tongued, among the eight members of the Shrek team, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Chi Ping share the deepest bond. After five years apart, the joy of their reunion is overwhelming.

"This isn't the place to talk. Let's go to the lab building; Ping and the others are there. Ping's come up with something really amazing, I guarantee you'll be shocked when you see it!"

Dai Mubai looked around and saw that all the candidates and parents who had come to register were now looking at him.

Being the center of attention for so many people must have made him a little embarrassed.

"Let's go."

……

"Communication experiment No. 5000 is a success!"

In the laboratory, Chi Ping looked at the "Hello, world!" that appeared on the monitor, uttered eleven words softly, and a happy smile appeared on his lips.

This is a futuristic laboratory. On the wall directly opposite the door is a matrix of displays, with 30 monitors taking up most of the wall. On the left wall is a chassis connected to the mycelium circuit, with various indicator lights flashing red and green.

Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu stared intently at the results on the monitor.

"It can transmit information over 5000 kilometers? That's practically continental communication!" Ning Rongrong swallowed hard, utterly shocked.

"If it didn't have this effect, why would I have put so much effort into creating this system?" Chi Ping laughed.

The latitude distance between the North and South Poles of the Douluo Continent is approximately 14000 kilometers, and the longitude distance between the East and West Poles is over 12000 kilometers. Shrek Academy is located roughly in the center of the continent. The successful 5000-kilometer communication experiment means that Chi Ping's communication system can cover almost all human settlements on the entire continent.
