12 Chapter 12: Helping a maiden

A Spirit Expert hiding in a tree seized the opportunity and shot an arrow at Zhu Zhuqing, but Zhu Zhuqing caught the arrow and threw it back, the arrow hit the Spirit Expert who shot it.

However, the other Spirit Expert let loose an arrow the moment Zhu Zhuqing threw the arrow at his companion. Currently, Zhu Zhuqing was unable to dodge anymore. Seeing that her shoulder was about to be pierced, Zeng Xin threw a rock to intercepted the arrow and released a little soul pressure to stun the Spirit Expert.

Zhu Zhuqing also felt the spirit pressure but before she could find me, she passed out. Zeng Xin was able to move quickly enough to support Zhu Zhuqing. He then quickly went to the tree the Expert was hiding in and killed him.

'Allocate the age to my third spirit ring'

"It turns out that she was injured a long time ago." Zeng Xin found that Zhu Zhuqing had a lot of injuries on her body, it must have been from past assassination attempts insinuating this constant attempt at her life has been going on for some time.

He picked her up and took him to the side. He treated her injuries and kept him company for some. Her clothes were not in good condition so he covered her with his shirt. He started cooking some food as he skipped his breakfast this morning. He has everything that is required to make a perfect meal inside his soul guidance device.

He ate the food. Soon, he felt that Zhuqing opened her eyes a little. So he packed up his things and started moving, leaving her a little food to eat after she woke up. He left a note for her as well.

When Zhuqing opened her eyes she found herself wearing a shirt that was a bit oversized for her. She found some roasted chicken on her side as well as a note was there too.

She picked up the note and read it. A smile emerged on her face. She ate the food, rested for a bit and started running in the direction of Shrek Academy. She outran Zeng Xin. A smile appeared on his face but soon replaced by his poker face.

When Zeng Xin reached the Shrek Academy, he saw many people standing in a queue. Some children are accompanied by their parents.

"Have we made a mistake? This is the academy that claims to allow its graduates become a Viscount after graduating?" A teenager's mother asked, a little worried about sending her children to study in this trash heap.

The boy's father frowned and replied, "This is what the people from Spirit Hall said, there should be no mistake. Though this Academy really looks like a dump."

"Dad, mom, can I not go to school here? I can still go to Suotuo City's Intermediate Spirit Master Academy. When I was in the Junior Academy, I was a genius anyway," the boy arrogantly stated.

"Since we're here, let's just wait and see, maybe this is just a test, and the real Shrek Academy is not here." said the boy's father.

Seeing that so many people had already arrived, Li Yusong said lazily: "You can start signing up. The registration fee is 10 Gold Coins."

The teenager walked to the front of the table and the boy's father took out 10 Gold Coins and put them into the wooden box on the table.

"Teacher, my son just passed his thirteenth birthday. Can't you bend the rules a little?" the boy's father asked.

"The school's rules are like this. Only children under the age of thirteen are accepted, and they will not be accepted after thirteen years old. Leave as soon as possible so others can be tested." Li Yusong lazily replied.

"Then our registration fee?" the boy's father asked.

"Once you sign up to enrol, and pay, it will not be refunded." Li Yusong said unceremoniously.

"You are clearly cheating us of our money. Return the registration fee to me, otherwise, I won't leave." The boy's father said angrily.

"Mubai, take care of it." Li Yusong seemed to have anticipated this situation a long time ago. He glanced at the tree next to him, in response, a figure jumped down from the tree.

"If you want the registration fee returned, you have to beat me first." Dai Mubai didn't talk nonsense and directly displayed his three Spirit Rings, two were Yellow and the other was Purple.

Seeing the three Spirit Rings on Dai Mubai's body, the boy's father's expression changed drastically as he took his son away without wasting any more time.

Seeing this scene, one-third of the people in the line immediately walked away. They were all over thirteen years old and did not want to waste their money.

With so many people leaving, Zeng Xin saw a familiar figure at the end of the line, it was Zhu Zhuqing. She was wearing a new dress now but she still held the shirt I gave her.

Zeng Xin went toward the line and stood behind Zeng Xin. Zhu Zhuqing turned her head and saw me. Zeng Xin's expressions are no less than hers. If she is cold then I am absolute 0K.

She turned her head back after not getting any reaction from me.

The registration process continued; another teenager walked up to Li Yusong to enrol. Li Yusong touched his arm twice and nodded and said: "Twelve years old, release your Martial Spirit."

The teenager released his Martial Spirit. His spirit is a kind of vine, it was surrounded by a 100-year-old Spirit Ring.

"Unqualified, you can go." Li Yusong shook his head. He didn't even feel his spirit pressure.

"Why? My son is a genius. There are not many Spirit Masters with their first Spirit Ring being a 100-year-old Spirit Ring." The teenager's mother was full of confidence, but when Li Yusong said that her son was unqualified, the expression on her face suddenly froze.
