“It’s about the same as choosing a wife, I suppose.”
Wu Ming smiled faintly and followed Xiao Wu’s words as he said, “After all, our academy’s teachers are all quite powerful.
The old man at the gate is my teacher, called Li Yusong, a rank sixty-three Spirit Emperor.”
“Hiss—”
All ten students sucked in a breath of cold air.
Letting a Spirit Emperor recruit students at the gate?
That was simply insane!
But by looking at one spot, they could glimpse the whole picture.
They could all foresee just how strong Shrek Academy’s teaching staff was.
After arriving at the second stage, Wu Ming greeted the old man in charge of this stage, Lu Qibin, then had Tang San and the others line up here.
Fortunately, there were not many people who could reach this stage.
There were only about twenty people ahead of them, so it would not take too much time.
Ning Rongrong was somewhat impatient and asked, “Senior, we all know each other now, and we’re so familiar.
Can’t we cut in line?”
“Sorry, but we really can’t.
Even if you come from a great clan, you still have to follow discipline.” Wu Ming’s face was filled with righteous integrity, vaguely exposing Ning Rongrong’s identity.
Tang San was convinced by this rule.
Only such strict rules could prove the academy’s fairness and impartiality.
“What if I insist on cutting in line?”
Ning Rongrong’s eyes turned, and she asked curiously.
“Then you have two choices.
First, take ten gold spirit coins and leave.
Second, go beat up the teacher of the second stage.
After all, in the Spirit Master world, strength is respected.” Wu Ming chuckled, not caring in the slightest that the curve at the corner of Ning Rongrong’s mouth was gradually stiffening.
Zhu Zhuqing, however, asked, “What is the strength of the teacher for the second stage?”
“Spirit Emperor, rank sixty-six, control system.”
Wu Ming answered without thinking.
For a moment, these ten students completely confirmed that Shrek Academy truly did possess a powerful teaching staff.
The second stage was actually also overseen by a Spirit Emperor.
“Then the teacher for the third stage wouldn’t be a Spirit Sage, would they?”
Ning Rongrong was also somewhat surprised.
“You guessed right.
The teacher for the third stage is a rank seventy-one Spirit Sage, and the teacher for the fourth stage has reached rank seventy-six.”
Wu Ming directly revealed Shrek Academy’s foundation and chuckled.
“Unless you are peerless geniuses, Shrek Academy will not make concessions.”
At this point, no one had any more objections.
But with Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing’s talent, strength, and willpower, passing the second and third stages was no more difficult than Zhang Fei eating bean sprouts—
A tiny dish.
“Sausages!
Selling sausages!
Oscar-brand special sausages!
Five copper spirit coins each!
Eat my grilled sausage, and I guarantee all junior schoolbrothers and school sisters will smoothly pass the assessment!”
At this moment, an “uncle” with a face full of beard pushed over a mobile food cart, shouting about the unique effects of his sausages.
Quite a few students smelled the aroma of meat and immediately felt their appetites stir, preparing to spend money and buy one.
“Boss Wu!
You’re back from training?”
Oscar, who had sold seven or eight sausages, saw Wu Ming and hurriedly pushed the food cart over, eagerly currying favor.
“How about we open a sausage specialty shop together?
I make the sausages, you handle the sauce.
We’ll definitely make it bigger and stronger, and sell my sausages across the entire Heaven Dou Empire!”
“We’ll talk about it later…”
Wu Ming did not directly refuse.
After all, if he wanted to upgrade his Chef Apprentice profession, perhaps he would still have to rely on Oscar.
Afterward, he introduced Oscar to Tang San and the others.
“This is Oscar, a student of the academy.
Don’t look at how prematurely he’s aged.
He’s only fourteen this year.
His Martial Soul is sausage, and he has Innate Full Spirit Power.
He’s a future Sausage Douluo!”
“What Sausage Douluo?
You should call me Food God Douluo!” Oscar put his hands on his hips, but his pair of peach blossom eyes kept darting over Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing.
“Pah, pervert.”
Xiao Wu naturally noticed Oscar’s expression and snorted coldly.
Tang San unconsciously moved half his body in front of Xiao Wu.
After all, a fourteen-year-old youth with a full face of beard really did have an invasive gaze.
“Cough, cough, I’m not a pervert.
Compared with the other two guys in the academy who look for rich young ladies and visit brothels, I’m practically the representative of purity and innocence!”
Oscar hurriedly defended himself, and even looked at Wu Ming with a resentful gaze.
Although Wu Ming had only officially passed the test and joined Shrek Academy yesterday, over the past six years, Li Yusong had brought him here quite often to cultivate.
Originally, Oscar had wanted to look after this little bro at first, but he had never expected that in the end, he would become Wu Ming’s little bro instead.
Usually, he was so busy that he did not even have time to go have fun with Dai Mubai.
To this day, he was still a virgin.
Wu Ming naturally ignored Oscar’s little gaze and said to Xiao Wu, “He isn’t lying.
He is indeed pure and innocent.
But in the end, he is a youth, at the age where one admires young girls.
And the three junior school sisters each have beauty capable of toppling cities and kingdoms, so it is inevitable that people would look a few more times.”
Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing thought about it carefully and nodded, accepting these words.
But they probably would not buy Oscar’s sausages.
However, while they would not buy them, Wu Ming spent money and bought five.
He gave four of them to Tang San, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong, saying, “The four of you are all quite strong and will definitely pass.
As your senior, I don’t have much money.
Consider these four sausages a gift to wish you success in passing the tests later.”
“Thank you.”
X4
The four of them thought for a moment, then still accepted them.
After tasting them, the flavor was indeed extremely good, especially the sauce, which brought out the aroma of the meat and made their appetites stir.
Oscar was a clever person.
Just as he was preparing to take some more sausages from the stall for these four junior schoolbrothers and school sisters, he heard a frivolous voice come from behind him.
“Oscar, how many times have I told you not to sell sausages inside the academy?”
“Tang San, and Xiao Wu, you two had better not eat his sausages.
Aside from the academy’s other two oddities, other students can’t handle his Mar…”
Before the word “tial Soul” could leave his mouth, Dai Mubai’s words came to an abrupt halt.
Besides seeing Wu Ming, he also saw Zhu Zhuqing, and both of them were staring at him.
At this moment, Dai Mubai had his arms around a pair of twin sisters, one on each side.
The atmosphere instantly fell into awkwardness.
“Little Bai, ah, if you find several girlfriends outside, I won’t say anything about you, but can you not bring other people’s girls into the academy?”
Wu Ming spoke with righteous indignation.
“Also, today was originally supposed to be your turn on duty.
Right now, I’m the one taking your place and leading the junior schoolbrothers and school sisters into the second stage.
“Remember to treat me to a good meal at Suotuo City Grand Restaurant later.”
“What the hell do you know!”
Because of Zhu Zhuqing’s appearance, Dai Mubai panicked.
In his confusion, he spoke without thinking, saying something that no one present understood except himself, Zhu Zhuqing, and Wu Ming, who had a god’s-eye view.
“Looks like because I officially passed the test yesterday and beat you, you’re feeling very unconvinced inside.”
Wu Ming grinned and began moving his shoulders.
His whole body emitted crackling explosive sounds, and an invisible aura surged from him, frightening Dai Mubai into retreating three steps.
Dai Mubai immediately changed his tune and hurriedly forced a smile.
“Don’t!
Wu Ming, leave me some face.
I… I—”
He suddenly looked toward the twin sisters and nearly roared as he shouted, “Get lost!
Don’t appear in front of me ever again!”
The pair of twins turned pale with fright, not understanding why Dai Mubai had suddenly become so irritable.
They could only quickly flee from the area.
But Zhu Zhuqing’s gaze became increasingly deep…
