They came to the east gate that was open to Shrek Academy. Although it was the last day of enrollment, there were still crowds of people. There were many vendors selling food and souvenirs around, and it seemed that business was booming.
Huo Yuqing paid a quick attention and found that the small vendors selling food seemed to be doing a booming business... With so many people here, maybe they could make some pocket money by selling grilled fish?
She couldn't ask the teacher for payment for all her expenses.
Jiang Nannan led the two of them through the crowd and went straight to the registration office.
At this time, a man in a gray-black robe whose face could not be seen stopped them.
"Do you need a letter of introduction from Shrek City? We have letters from all countries, guaranteed to be authentic and 100% usable. Several people have already signed up successfully! Just fill in your personal information on the spot, and it only costs 10,000 gold soul coins!" The man whispered very quickly, "I see that you are all very strong and will definitely be able to stay at Shrek Academy. With only 10,000 gold coins, you can fight for a future. As long as you graduate successfully, you will not have to worry about finding a job. The future of Shrek graduates is limitless!"
Huo Yuqing listened to his sales pitch in amazement, "Can I buy the recommendation letter directly?"
"Of course you can, but getting a recommendation letter doesn't mean you can definitely enter Shrek or stay here. You still have to meet other conditions..."
Wang Rui was not surprised at all.
The Shrek Academy's letter of introduction only has the city lord's special seal and special letter paper. There are no other anti-counterfeiting methods, and there is no limit on how many letters can be issued each year - it is normal for someone to make a profit from this.
Even the mayors of most main cities would directly sell letters of recommendation in private. After all, Shrek Academy still had other assessments, so neither party would suffer any loss.
Of course, the city lords are not fools, they will still regularly invest in civilians who can't afford to spend money but have good talents. However, the requirements for civilian soul masters are much higher than those of Shrek Academy itself - at least they must reach level 25 before the age of 12 to get a free recommendation letter.
Now it is the last day of the registration period, and naturally there are many students who have just broken through level 15 and are coming to Shrek Academy in a hurry.
There were also many people who bought recommendation letters directly on the spot. Many families did not have the connections to find the city lord to ask for recommendation letters, but they had the spare money to sell everything they had to send their children to Shrek to seek a good future.
It seems that this guy has been selling things here for a long time, but no one has stopped him. I guess the Shrek Academy has tacitly agreed to this - maybe he has an official Shrek background and has to hand in the recommendation letter after selling it.
"No need, they all have letters of introduction." Jiang Nannan blocked Wang Rui and Huo Yuqing behind her and said with a smile, "I'm just about to take them to sign up."
"Okay." The man in black and gray muttered a few auspicious words like a bright future, and continued to look for the next scapegoat.
"It's so easy to make money from these people." Jiang Nannan snorted coldly.
"Hey, Nan Nan, Nan Nan over here!" Not far ahead, a girl with a round face, a very friendly and likable appearance, and wearing a purple school uniform was waving at them vigorously, "Nan Nan, have you heard the good news?"
"What good news?" Jiang Nannan was stunned.
"Old witch Zhou won't teach us anymore. Hehe, old witch Zhou is gone!" the round-faced girl said happily, as if she was celebrating the New Year in advance. "Now everyone knows the good news. You are the last one to return to school."
"What?" Jiang Nannan was also surprised. "She left? That's great!"
"This is the best news I've heard in the past month...Huh? Who are these two handsome boys?"
"Oh, this is my junior fellow apprentice. Didn't I tell you that I was studying at the pharmacy over at home?"
"Are your junior fellow students also coming to sign up for Shrek Academy?" The round-faced girl put her arm around Jiang Nannan's neck, leaned over to her ear, and whispered, "Hey, Nannan, introduce me to some junior fellow students. I like those who are younger and more handsome than me."
Jiang Nannan smiled and pinched the soft flesh on her waist, "You wish."
The girl smiled at Wang Rui and Huo Yuqing in a friendly manner and said, "Alright, stop making trouble. Take them to register. See you later!"
After saying that, the round-faced girl ran away in a hurry.
After waiting in line for a while, it was finally their turn to register.
Huo Yuqing's soul power has now reached level 16, and he has passed the requirements of Shrek Academy.
And Wang Rui... he is already a level 33 Soul Master.
As the emperor's auspicious beast, his transformation is naturally special.
Wang Rui can transform between human form and beast form. His spiritual power realm has not changed, but he has to practice again in human form step by step. He can only use the abilities of the simulated martial soul and cannot use the power of the beast form.
This is a bit like a game account. After you have reached the maximum level in your first profession, you can then take on a new profession and start from scratch.
And he initially estimated that when he reached level ninety-five, he should be able to use the power of his beast form at will while remaining in human form, just like the ferocious beasts of the stars.
Well, today is still the same! Also two chapters!
Speaking of Shrek's recommendation letter system, I personally think that it is reasonable to trade in this way.
Because the recommendation letter is just a threshold, not a ticket to enter Shrek. There are many other requirements and elimination of freshmen in the entrance examination...
From the perspective of Shrek Academy, a sect that has stood for ten thousand years, this is the only way to maximize benefits.
First, the enrollment targets are divided into two categories: 15-25, and 25 and above (Douyi Old Shrek standard)
Only those aged 12 and above 25 are more likely to enter the inner courtyard and become real members.
Students from grades 15-25 are divided into two types: those with good families and resources, and those with poor families.
Students from well-off families have follow-up resources and better development. They will definitely make faster progress than those from poor families and have a greater chance of becoming inner-school students. Moreover, a wealthy family also means having connections (needless to say what that means to Shrek). If such students come to Shrek, even if they are only allowed to play once every three months, they can still provide Shrek with very lucrative profits.
But if you are a civilian student who can't afford 10,000 gold... firstly, there is no development, secondly, there are no connections, and thirdly, you can't get any benefits from it, so just don't come.
Those who have connections and can directly get letters of introduction are counted separately.
Emmm, maybe I am over-interpreting it, but I think it is like this_(:з」∠)_
Chapter 47 See Tang Ya again!
There are only three Soul Masters among Shrek's freshmen this year, two of whom are disciples from powerful forces and will not be the focus of training at Shrek Academy.
When the teachers at the admissions office saw Wang Rui, who seemed to have no background and had a letter of introduction from a small city in the Douling Empire, they were so happy that they went crazy.
After verifying his soul power and age, the teacher simply waved his hand and exempted Wang Rui from several subsequent assessments, while Huo Yuqing still had to complete the tests one by one.
Jiang Nannan and Wang Rui naturally accompanied her.
In the original novel, Huo Gua directly skipped the entrance examination. Wang Rui really didn't know that Shrek's entrance examination was so troublesome, with one test after another.
For the last assessment, a team of freshmen followed their teacher to a relatively spacious venue.
A group of boys and girls in purple school uniforms stood together at the edge of the venue. Many of them greeted Jiang Nannan happily after seeing her, including the girl with the round face.
There were a few senior students competing with the freshmen in the venue.
The last assessment is also an old tradition of Shrek Academy.
"You have to hold out for five minutes against a senior with three soul skills," the teacher at the registration desk explained. "If you can force them to use their third soul skill, you will be considered to have passed the test and the assessment will end early."
"The freshmen of the auxiliary and food departments only need to hold on for five minutes under the pressure of soul power of the same level," he added.
Huo Yuqing was ranked first.
"Who will come?" the teacher asked the group of students in purple uniforms.
The round-faced girl who knew Jiang Nannan just raised her hand excitedly when she heard a gloomy voice: "I'll do it."
It's Tang Ya.
She was standing behind several students and Wang Rui didn't notice her for a moment.
Tang Ya was also wearing a purple school uniform. Unlike when Huo Yuqing first saw her, Tang Ya's expression at this moment was somewhat creepy and gloomy. There seemed to be a sense of hostility between her brows, and there was an unhealed scar on her left cheek.
Her journey to obtain spirit rings was not smooth. Not only did she not obtain the ideal spirit ring, but Beibei even suffered some injuries. Seeing Wang Rui and Huo Yuqing, who had insulted the Tang Sect, she naturally felt unhappy.
She glanced at Wang Rui gloomily, "Why, don't you want to take the test?"
"But I'm level 30 and exempt from the test." Wang Rui tilted his head and smiled at Tang Ya, and said to her in the most obedient tone, "Senior sister, are you sure you can beat me?"
Tang Ya stared at him fiercely, her beautiful eyes almost spitting fire.
"Then teacher, I want to test him." Tang Ya stretched out her hand and pointed at Huo Yuqing.
Jiang Nannan took a step forward and stood in front of Huo Yuqing.
She also heard about the conflict between Huo Yuqing and Tang Ya. Now Tang Ya said with a gloomy face that she wanted to test Huo Yuqing. What else could it mean?
"It's not good to bring personal grudges into the college's freshman assessment." Jiang Nannan said in a deep voice.
Although she knew Tang Ya, they were not in the same class and were just acquaintances. There was no need to save face for Tang Ya at this time.
"It's none of your business!" Tang Ya glared at her viciously.
“Teacher, let’s find someone else to test her. I’m afraid Tang Ya has some personal grudges with Huo Yuhao.” Jiang Nannan said calmly.
"Who dares?!" Tang Ya raised her eyebrows and looked around at the classmates.
These seniors help the college assess the new students, mainly to earn the fighting spirit credits required for graduation.
For those students who are extremely talented and will definitely graduate successfully, these scores are naturally not important, but for those students with average talents and ordinary backgrounds, these scores are very necessary.
——It takes ten gold soul coins to open the fighting spirit area once!
They all knew the reputation of Tang Ya's boyfriend, the genius from the external school, Pili Beibei, and no one wanted to offend her for a freshman who had not yet enrolled.
The teacher in charge of registration was also average, not even as good as the average teacher in the outer courtyard. But he was well-informed and knew a little about Beibei's identity, so he naturally didn't want to offend Tang Ya.
“Then let Tang Ya conduct Huo Yuhao’s entrance examination.” Finally, the teacher gave in.
Huo Yuqing's expression did not change, but Wang Rui did not miss the disappointment that flashed across the girl's eyes.
"Yuhao, come here." Wang Rui waved at her and transmitted his voice with his soul power, "Tang Ya's skills are nothing more than the blue silver grass entanglement and parasitic binding skills. The grass vine itself is not fast, and your spiritual detection can completely handle it. But you must pay attention to her insidious Tang Sect skills. Be careful when she uses hidden weapons, and don't get close to her hands. There is a unique skill in the Tang Sect called Controlling Cranes and Capturing Dragons, which can generate suction on the palm of your hand."
Wang Rui paused for a moment before continuing, "She also has a peculiar eye training technique called the Purple Demon Pupil, which can improve her mental strength and mental resistance... You can pay a little attention to it."
Huo Yuqing nodded seriously.
"Then get ready." The teacher took out the soul guide timer.
“Tang Ya, a level 31 control-type soul master, with the spirit blue silver grass, and the leader of the Tang Clan.” Tang Ya said viciously, looking like she wanted to eat Huo Yuqing alive.
“Huo Yuhao, level 16.” Huo Yuqing said in a deep voice.
As the teacher announced the start of the test, both parties were possessed by their martial spirits.
There was a hint of golden light in Huo Yuqing's eyes, and a thin white soul ring rose behind her.
On Tang Ya's side, purple-black vines stood up like snakes, and three yellow soul rings were rotating around her body.
Wang Rui chuckled.
No wonder this guy is so unlucky, it seems that the bad luck he brought upon himself has really taken effect.
Tang Ya and Bei Bei searched hard for a month outside the forest, but did not find a thousand-year soul beast that suited them.
If she doesn’t get the third spirit ring, she will have to leave Shrek Academy. If she misses this opportunity, Beibei will also have to go back to school, and no one will help her hunt for spirit rings within a year.
Of course Tang Ya couldn't give up just like that, so she had to settle for the second best and choose a 900-year-old mandrake snake.
