Welcome to Shrek academy

Dai Tianling hesitated when he saw the Clear Sky Hammer in Tang Wulin's left hand. It was the real deal, just like the one in the ancient records.

He would have been less reluctant if Tang Wulin belonged to any other faction. But he was from the Clear Sky Sect, a legendary sect that had vanished from the world but not from power. According to his family's history, the Clear Sky Sect had two mythical beasts that were left by the Sea God himself.

He still wished that Dai Yun'er would choose Long Yue. He was from the Star Luo Empire and a product of their Monster Academy. There would be no conflict of interest with him.

Tang Wulin, on the other hand, had grown up in the Sun-Moon Federation, not the Clear Sky Sect. What if there was a war in the future? Would he side with the Federation or the Empire? With Long Yue, he wouldn't have to worry about that.

He never doubted that Tang Wulin was from the Clear Sky Sect. Anyone with the Clear Sky Hammer as their martial soul would be accepted by the sect, even if they were just a stray bloodline.

Dai Yun'er spoke up. "Father, I know you want me to be with Brother Long Yue, but have you thought about how I feel? Brother Long Yue is nice to me, but he puts so much pressure on me. He's so imposing that I always see him as an older brother."

Dai Tianling knew what kind of pressure she meant. Long Yue's mountain dragon martial soul affected his personality. He was fine most of the time, but he became a bit mad when he fought.

He thought for a long time, then sighed. "It's your decision. But if I hear that Tang Wulin makes you unhappy in the Douluo Continent, I won't let him off!"

Dai Yun'er cheered. "Thank you, father. Don't worry, Wulin is not that kind of person."

Tang Wulin nodded and promised. "Your Majesty, please be assured. I swear by my martial soul that I will treat Yun'er well in the future. As long as I live, no one will harm her."

Dai Tianling looked at Tang Wulin. He was just a kid, though a talented one. He was only fifteen years old. But he was willing to make such a solemn vow, so maybe he could trust him.

Maybe Tang Wulin was a good choice after all. A disciple of the Clear Sky Sect, the Shrek Academy, and the Tang Sect. He was worthy of his daughter.

And the Shrek Academy was the best academy in the continent, standing for twenty thousand years. The Monster Academy of the Star Luo Empire was modeled after it, but it was still inferior.

If Dai Yun'er could join the Shrek Academy, it would be good for her development. Maybe she could even bring back some teaching experience to the Monster Academy, which would benefit the Star Luo Empire.

Dai Tianling said. "Are you sure you won't regret this? You know, if you go to the Douluo Continent, no one will pamper you. Our Star Luo Empire has no control over the Sun-Moon Federation."

Dai Yun'er nodded seriously. "Father, I'm not a child anymore. I can't grow up under your protection. Don't worry, I won't regret this. And I'm going to the Shrek Academy, not the Sun-Moon Royal Academy."

Dai Yun'er felt a mix of nervousness and excitement about leaving the Star Luo Empire. She couldn't wait to see Shrek Academy for herself.

Her father, Dai Tianling, gave up on persuading her and waved his hand. "Fine, I won't argue with you anymore. But you know, the Sun-Moon Federation exchange group is leaving soon. You didn't come here just to sneak away with them if I said no, did you?"

Dai Yun'er nodded sheepishly. "How did you know, father? That was my plan..."

Dai Tianling shook his head slightly. "I know you too well, my dear. Just remember to say goodbye to your mother, brother, and the others. And don't forget to come back when you're an adult for the engagement ceremony and such."

After hearing her father's words, Dai Yun'er pulled Tang Wulin and left the study. They went to see her mother, brother, and classmates from the Monster Academy and bid them farewell.

When they returned to the hotel, Xie Xie said, "Wow, you did it? I can't believe Wulin managed to kidnap a princess from the Star Luo Empire."

The others burst into laughter at Xie Xie's remark. Even Dai Yun'er, who was fearless, felt a bit embarrassed. Tang Wulin whispered, "Don't mind them, they're just joking. They mean no harm."

Dai Yun'er nodded, then looked at the geniuses from Shrek Academy and said, "Well, even though we've met before, I still want to introduce myself. My name is Dai Yun'er. My martial souls are the Nether Civet and the Spiritual Eye. We'll be classmates from now on."

The others also introduced their names and martial souls, and then cheered in unison: "Welcome to Shrek Academy!"

They had been opponents in the previous soul master competition, and Long Yue had even injured some of them, but since Cai Yue'er had agreed to let Dai Yun'er join Shrek Academy, they had no objections.

The most important thing was that Dai Yun'er had not caused any serious harm to the people of Shrek Academy in the competition, and after spending some time with them, they realized that she was not as arrogant as she had seemed at first. They accepted her as one of them.

After confirming that she could really join Shrek Academy, Dai Yun'er asked with some curiosity: "I've been hearing Wulin talk about how great Shrek Academy is all day long. Why didn't you tell me about its history when you came to the Star Luo Empire?"

Xie Xie was the first to answer: "We're all classmates now, so there's no problem. After so many years of development, the education methods of various soul master academies in Douluo Star have become similar. The only difference is that Shrek Academy pays more attention to teamwork, has more senior soul masters as teachers, and has more rigorous teaching."

Tang Wulin added: "You don't have to explain that to me. I've seen the teaching methods of your Monster Academy. They're not much different from Shrek Academy. But Shrek Academy has something that no other academy can match. There's an ancient golden tree in Shrek Academy."

Dai Yun'er looked puzzled and asked: "An ancient golden tree? What is that?"
