As he spoke, a woman in an aqua dress walked past them. Xie Xie broke out in a cold sweat when he recognized her.
He couldn't blame Xie Xie for being intimidated. After all, Yali was an Limit Douluo, and even a healing-type Limit Douluo was not someone he could afford to offend.
Xie Xie also felt a bit lucky. Yali was not the type to argue with others. Otherwise, he would have faced some punishment for what he had said to Xu Xiaoyan.
But they all understood one thing: Yali, the former dean of Shrek Academy's inner courtyard, did not even spare a glance at the Seven Shrek Devils of their generation.
He wondered if Yali had given up on Shrek Academy, or if she was just disappointed in them. But it didn't matter anymore. Whatever the truth was, the outcome was the same.
When Yali's figure vanished around the corner of the office building, without looking back once, the Seven Shrek Devils felt a pang of sadness, especially Tang Wulin, who owed her his life.
After a brief silence, Xu Lizhi decided to change the topic and said, "We're going to the Miracle City Soul Master Academy soon. Let's take a look at the admission requirements that Xu Xiaoyan mentioned."
He took out the Admissions Instructions from his storage item and saw that the cover had the words "Admissions Instructions (Special Edition)" in bold red letters.
The others were puzzled by the special label on the special edition. Xie Xie said, "What's the difference between the admission instructions and the special edition? What is Xu Xiaoyan up to?"
Tang Wulin, as the captain of the Shrek Seven Monsters, took the booklet from Xu Lizhi and said softly, "Let me see if there's anything wrong."
He skimmed through the booklet as he walked. The content seemed normal. It was about the dos and don'ts for the students, the structure of the academy, and the rights of the students.
The booklet had a lot of information, and most of it had comments on the relevant items. Tang Wulin scanned it quickly, not paying much attention.
After reading the whole booklet, Tang Wulin frowned slightly. Dai Yun'er, who was walking next to him, asked, "Wulin, is there something wrong with these admission instructions? Are they targeting us?"
Tang Wulin shook his head and said, "No, there's nothing wrong with them. They are very good regulations for an academy, and they don't seem to have any hidden agenda against us."
Even though he had a strong bias against Anping, Gu Yuena, and the City of Miracles, Tang Wulin had to admit that the admission instructions were a comprehensive guide and did not discriminate against them.
The rest of the Shrek Seven Monsters looked at Tang Wulin with confusion, wondering why he said that, and what he meant by it.
Dai Yun'er asked curiously, "If there's nothing wrong with the admission requirements, why do you look like that? Are you worried about something?"
Tang Wulin sighed slightly and said helplessly, "There's nothing wrong with it, but it's not very suitable for us, especially the curriculum. It's a big problem. This is supposed to be a soul master academy, but most of the courses have nothing to do with soul master training."
"Even the parts that are related to soul master cultivation are all theoretical courses, with no practical teaching. Even sparring with others requires a specific time slot. If we spar rashly at the wrong time, we'll be punished by the academy."
The others looked at each other with dismay after hearing Tang Wulin's explanation. Their Shrek Academy valued actual combat the most. It focused on practical courses and encouraged students to compete with each other to improve their strength.
As for the courses in the Miracle City Soul Master Academy, they were mostly cultural and theoretical courses. Students were not allowed to discuss and communicate with each other during normal times. How could they accept this?
They did have other goals for the academic exchange, but that didn't mean they had given up on enhancing their own strength. The arrangement of the Miracle City Soul Master Academy was clearly not in line with their wishes.
At the same time, they also felt that something was wrong with this arrangement. They knew that Yali was the former dean of the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy. How could she make such a course plan? This was something they didn't understand, but they couldn't figure out where the problem was.
The Shrek Seven Monsters talked to each other for a long time, but they couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation. Since they couldn't solve the mystery, they had no choice but to wait until they got to the academy and investigate it bit by bit.
Tang Wulin and the others followed the map of Miracle City to the gate of the Miracle City Soul Master Academy. They looked at the tall gate with a style that was different from all the other academies on the continent, and they didn't know what they were thinking in their hearts.
Just as they walked to the gate of the academy, the gate opened automatically, and a girl of their age stood inside the gate. She looked like a student of the academy.
Before they could speak, the girl approached them enthusiastically, glanced at the Shrek Seven Devils casually, and said, "You must be the Shrek Seven Devils, right? I'm Sun Qingyi, the president of the student union of the Miracle City Soul Master Academy. On behalf of all the teachers and students, I welcome you to the Miracle City Soul Master Academy."
This girl named Sun Qingyi, who claimed to be the president of the student union, made the Shrek Seven Devils feel a little puzzled. In their opinion, Sun Qingyi was too enthusiastic. Compared to the previous Xu Xiaoyan, the difference was huge.
However, Tang Wulin reacted quickly. He stepped forward and walked out of the group, then said with a smile, "Hello, I'm the captain of the Shrek Seven Monsters, Tang Wulin."
Sun Qingyi looked at Tang Wulin, smiled slightly and said, "I won't say much more. My task is to familiarize you with the internal structure of the academy. Please follow me. Let's go through the admission procedures first."
After Sun Qingyi finished speaking, she turned around and led the way. After entering the academy, they saw a magnificent building. In front of the building was a large square with a beautiful fountain in the center.
Sun Qingyi led them towards the building opposite the school gate. "That's the library," she said. "It has books from every corner of Douluo Planet, gathered by the city lord himself. You can find anything you need in there. And it never closes."
