Zhutian: Invincible from the Martial Spirit

Chapter 52: Challenge (asking for monthly tickets and follow-up reading)
The old man squeezed the hands of Gu Yi and the other two, nodded and said, "You are of the right age."

The method of determining the exact age by pinching bones has long been useless to Gu Yi.

Because Gu Yi has tempered all the bones in his body, and he had recently undergone a second awakening and a life awakening, the strength of his bones is comparable to that of steel.

However, Gu Yi had already expected that the old man would use this method, so he specifically controlled the bones in his arms to change back to the normal state of a twelve-year-old.

"Release your martial spirits," said the old man.

Xiao Wu and Qing Lin smiled at each other and circulated their soul power/fighting spirit at the same time.

Pink and green lights bloomed on their bodies, and their martial spirits were instantly possessed. Three soul rings, two yellow and one purple, swirled up at the same time.

Two rabbit ears grew on Xiao Wu's head, white fluffy hair appeared on her hands, and her body became more slender;
Qinglin's eyes turned into vertical pupils, green snake scales appeared on his arms, and his legs closed together to form a slender and enchanting snake tail.

"Three-ring Soul Master!" Everyone exclaimed, their eyes full of disbelief.

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing in the crowd were also somewhat shocked.

They didn't expect that among their peers, there would be two Soul Masters at the same time, and their talents were much stronger than theirs.

Zhu Zhuqing's cold eyes changed, and a hint of desire emerged in her eyes. She wished that she could have the same strength as Xiao Wu and Qing Lin, and could reach level 30 at the age of twelve.

In this way... maybe she will have hope of controlling her own destiny in the future.

Tang San had anticipated this and was not too surprised.

The old man's expression was moved, revealing a look of joy that was hard to conceal: "It seems that two incredible monsters have come to our Shrek Academy!"

"Little guy, where is your martial soul?" The old man turned and looked at Gu Yi.

Gu Yi smiled and raised his right hand, condensing a ball of bright red blood, which emitted soul power fluctuations, indicating that this was his martial soul.

“Blood martial spirit? There is actually such a martial spirit.” A hint of surprise flashed in the old man’s eyes.

"Where is your spirit ring?"

Gu Yi shrugged and immediately released a powerful soul master aura: "Is this enough?"

The old man frowned. Gu Yi did not show his soul ring, but the aura he exuded could not be faked. He was indeed a Soul Master of level 30, which had reached the requirements of the first level.

"Well, you have passed the first test. Mu Bai, you take them in."

"Yes." Dai Mubai, who had been waiting nearby, came forward and walked towards the village with Gu Yi and the other two, as well as Tang San who had passed through earlier.

Not far away, they came to an open space, which was exactly the center of the village, namely Shrek Academy.

Here, Gu Yi saw Oscar, a food-related genius with full soul power, who was selling sausages.

But judging from Oscar's appearance now, he doesn't look like he is only fourteen years old. He is dressed like a bearded uncle.

Gu Yi had no intention of tasting the sausages and walked straight towards the teacher in charge of the second level.

Dai Mubai knew the strength of the three of them very well, so he walked up to the teacher and whispered a few words in his ear.

The teacher nodded: "In that case, then you can take them directly to the fourth level."

The candidates in line were immediately unhappy, "Teacher, why can they enter the fourth level without taking the test, but we have to pass each level?"

The older teacher said calmly, "Why? Because three of the four of them are level 30 Soul Masters, and one has a Soul Power of over level 25. If you are also over level 25, you can also go to the fourth level with them."

As he spoke, the teacher gestured to Gu Yi and the other two.

Xiao Wu understood and activated her martial spirit again, summoning her three spirit rings. Tang San took the crystal ball from his teacher and demonstrated his level 29 spirit power cultivation.

Seeing this scene, the other candidates finally fell silent.

"Teacher, I think I should be exempted from the second and third levels." Ning Rongrong walked out of the crowd, took the crystal ball from Tang San, and displayed her level 26 spirit power.

However, the next second, the crystal ball disappeared from Ning Rongrong's hand, and a figure appeared silently. Another genius with level 27 soul power arrived.

"There are monsters every year, but this year there are especially many. Six of them came at once!" The teacher of the second level was full of surprise and joy: "Mu Bai, take them to the fourth level."

"Yes." Dai Mubai agreed respectfully.

On the way, Dai Mubai told them about the four levels of the Shrek Academy entrance examination, letting Tang San and his friends know that the fourth level was a test of practical experience.

"Your entrance examination is so strict, how many students can Shrek Academy accept every year? How many students are there in the academy now?" Xiao Wu couldn't help but speak.

Dai Mubai smiled bitterly and said, "Since our Shrek Academy was founded, we have admitted a total of 62 students in the past 20 years, an average of about two students per year. There are currently three students studying in the academy, including me."

…”Of the sixty-two students admitted to the academy, only fourteen actually graduated. After leaving the academy, all of these fourteen became world-renowned figures. The most outstanding among them is now the youngest elder in the Spirit Hall, with authority second only to the Pope.”

"The rest who haven't graduated are those who were unable to complete level 40 training before the age of 20, or died while hunting soul beasts. The dean said that if you are not at level 41, don't go out and embarrass him."

Speaking of this, Dai Mubai's face was full of pride, proud that his academy was so excellent.

After hearing this, Tang San, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing became more satisfied and curious about Shrek Academy.

After hearing what Dai Mubai said, Gu Yi's face looked strange, and he could hardly suppress the mocking smile on the corner of his mouth.

Gu Yi suppressed a laugh and said, "You mean one of the graduates of Shrek Academy is the youngest elder of the Spirit Hall?"

Dai Mubai looked at Gu Yi, nodded and said proudly: "Yes, that's right."

"As far as I know, the weakest elder of the Spirit Hall is at least a Titled Douluo." Gu Yi said slowly: "Could it be that Shrek Academy has cultivated a Titled Douluo in less than 20 years since its establishment?"

“If that’s true, Shrek Academy is truly amazing, hahaha.” Having said that, Gu Yi could no longer hold back his smile.

"And the youngest Titled Douluo on Douluo Continent should be Haotian Douluo who disappeared twelve years ago. Could it be that Haotian Douluo is not from Haotian Sect, but a graduate of your Shrek Academy?"

Dai Mubai, Tang San and others were stunned when they heard this.

Dai Mubai's face changed, sometimes white, sometimes red.

Yes, as the most powerful soul master force in Douluo Continent, if you want to become their elder, you must be at least a Titled Douluo. As for Soul Douluo, you can only be a bishop.

Even the youngest Titled Douluo 'Haotian' in Douluo Continent was forty-four years old when he broke through to this realm. Now he is in his fifties, which is older than the time when Shrek Academy was established. How could he be a graduate of Shrek Academy?

At this moment, Xiao Wu, Qing Lin and the others suddenly realized and finally understood that what Dai Mubai said just now was false and was completely exaggerated.

If the teaching ability of Shrek Academy is really as good as Dai Mubai said, it can cultivate Titled Douluo.

I'm afraid any force in the entire continent would treat them as guests of honor, and there would be no way they would fall into such a dilapidated state now.

"You are such a sharp-tongued boy! How can you interfere in the affairs of Shrek Academy?" A loud voice came from the front.

In another open space ahead, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties stood up from his chair and strode towards Gu Yi and his companions.

"I'm here to challenge you."
