**************************************************************************************

Xu Zihuang walked south along Shrek City from outside the East Gate of Shrek City and stopped at the edge of a forest after about half a quarter of an hour.

Shrek City is located in the south-central part of the Douluo Continent, and the climate is hot, the trees are not as tall as those in the south of the Sun Moon Empire, their average height is more than thirty meters.

In addition, few people pass through here, and the growth of this forest is excellent, with leafy branches covering a large area of sunlight.

Xu Zihuang slowly walked into the depths of the forest for almost a hundred meters, and then calmly turned around.

As if responding to his cold eyes, a dignified old man dressed in black appeared out of nowhere.

It was Wang Xiao who left Yueshu Island half a year ago to go to Dragon City on the northern border of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

"Young Master, have you obtained the third soul ring yet?" Wang Yi felt the fluctuation of soul power in Xu Zihuang's body with surprise.

It is not difficult for him to see Xu Zihuang's true cultivation level after he had broken through to the Titled Douluo level.

Xu Zihuang nodded calmly.

"It's a coincidence, I just fused a suitable soul ring on the way to Shrek Academy."

Wang Xiao knew Xu Zihuang's character very well, so he didn't ask any more questions and took out a letter from the soul guide.

The word "Dragon City" is stamped with gold foil at the top of the letterhead.

"Young Master, this is a letter of recommendation written by the Lord of Dragon City himself, the information about his life experience is the same as what was discussed before."

"However, young master, his uncle hopes that you can go to the Heavenly Dragon Sect in the future, he wants to meet you in person."

"Let's talk about this later," Xu Zihuang frowned inexplicably and then accepted Wang Xiao's letter of recommendation.

"Old Wang, there are many strong men in Shrek Academy, to prevent them from spying on you, I will stay here alone."

"When you return to Yueshu Island, you can start training soldiers for the Dragon Soul Imperial Corps, but for the time being, please do not change the situation in the Southern Moon Islands so as not to attract attention."

"Yes, young master."

"Old Wang, take care on the way." After speaking, Xu Zihuang walked out of the forest.

The leaves rustle when the breeze blows, the wind stopped and the trees stood still as if no one had ever stayed.

After leaving this forest, he is not far from the south gate of Shrek's city.

If it was in the past, the south gate with the most traffic would definitely be busier than the east gate where Shrek Academy is located.

However, because Shrek Academy has recently recruited new students, the south gate is much colder in comparison.

The ticket price is one soul bronze coin, although the price is not high, if it accumulates, it is a staggering number.

One-tenth of Shrek City's annual tax revenue comes from this.

The area entered from the south gate is the most prosperous shopping area in Shrek City, various shops are located throughout, selling special products from various empires.

Shrek City's size and resident population may not be comparable to the capitals of major empires, but it's definitely the center of the continent that deserves it.

Xu Zihuang randomly asked a shop to help process the Skin of the Flame Lion King, while he himself found a clean hotel to rest well.

From Yueshu Island across the sea to the Star Luo Empire, then from south to north through the entire Star Luo Empire, and finally from the Star Dou Great Forest to Shrek City.

It has been a journey of almost two months, and although there was nothing wrong with his body, inevitably he was mentally tired.

For three days in a row, he wandered around Shrek City during the day, buying some supplies needed to get into Shrek Academy to study.

At night, he didn't even cultivate his soul power, forcing himself to sleep and nurture his energy.

But this only lasted for three days, after which he returned to practice as usual, after formally advancing to the Spirit Elder level, he also began to attempt to inscribe the fourth-level core magic circle.

The engraving of the fourth level center circle is much more complicated than that of the third level center circle, even if his talent for making soul tools is amazing, ten days is still too rushed.

Of course, it didn't work.

In terms of cultivating soul power, he finally deeply realized how difficult it is for a soul master with a martial spirit that has an ultimate element to cultivate.

After breaking through to the thirtieth level of soul power, the quality of soul power of a soul master with a martial spirit that has an ultimate element is far superior to ordinary soul masters.

The process of condensing the power of the soul so that one's body can withstand this ultimate attribute is inevitable.

His cultivation speed has obviously slowed down a lot compared to before, if he cultivates normally, it will take him at least three years to reach the next bottleneck.

But relying on the silver-scaled white whale to give him the ability to gather the energy of heaven and earth, he was able to shorten this process to less than two years.

...

The sky in the distance had just turned white, and Xu Zihuang, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, opened his bright eyes in time.

The bright golden soul power that shines on the surface of the body is introverted, and there seems to be a magical power that shakes people's hearts with every gesture.

"Today is the last day for Shrek Academy to recruit new students." Xu Zihuang walked over to the French window and looked at the rising red-golden sun, muttering to himself.

After a brief preparation, he ate breakfast in the hotel lobby, then left and walked towards the east gate where Shrek Academy was located.

The atmosphere and service of this hotel are very good, but it costs ten gold coins to stay for a day.

During the past ten days of lodging, plus daily meal expenses, the original thousand gold soul coins in his hand are now less than eight hundred.

However, he didn't care too much for him, since he was born into the imperial family of the Sun Moon Empire, but he still had a certain pattern.

For him, money is just a number.

With his strength, it's not hard to get money in Shrek Academy, at worst, he goes to the fighting spirit area to challenge the older students.

Half an hour later, Xu Zihuang walked from the south of Shrek City to the eastern city gate.

Right now, there were far fewer vendors gathered nearby than before.

Xu Zihuang bypassed the crowd on the side and came to the east gate.

At the east gate, there are more than a dozen young men and women who are a few years older than him, wearing yellow suits with green badges on their chests.

This is the school uniform of the second and third-year students of the Shrek Academy Outer School.

But the most striking are the two standing in front of them.

The color of the standard school uniforms of these two people is the same as the others, one is purple and the other is black.

Xu Zihuang heard from Bei Bei before that purple is the school uniform for the fourth and fifth grades, and black is the school uniform for the sixth grade.

Wearing a purple school uniform is a girl who appears to be only fourteen or five years old, she is slim and well-proportioned.

Her long blonde hair is scattered behind her head in big waves, her skin is like snow and her eyes are bright like a clear pool of water, she has her own elegant and luxurious temperament

The other person was a boy who was about the same age as the girl, tall, with bushy eyebrows and tiger eyes, a straight nose, and a square mouth, he has a dignified appearance.

It's just that his flattering appearance in front of the girl looks like a live dog licking no matter how you look at it.

"Nannan, let's have lunch together later, okay?"

"It is not necessary." The girl's expression was very cold, she didn't even look at the boy next to her.

Xu Zihuang raised his eyebrows strangely, from the conversation between the two, he had already guessed their identities.

Aren't they exactly Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan in the original book?

Realizing that Xu Zihuang was gradually approaching, everyone subconsciously turned their eyes toward Xu Zihuang.

Even Jiang Nannan couldn't help but take a second look at Xu Zihuang, who was so temperamental.

"Big Sister, may I ask if new students are tested here?" Xu Zihuang met Jiang Nannan's gaze with a gentle smile on her face.

Jiang Nannan, who was indifferent to Xu Sanshi before, had a much kinder attitude towards Xu Zihuang.

"Are you a new student? You must register here and pass the soul power test."

It has always been Shrek Academy's practice that old students are responsible for recruiting new students, and the academy will also give some financial subsidies to these old students.

Jiang Nannan was born as a commoner, but due to the entrance exam for the fifth grade, she only had time to recruit new students in the last few days.

But she did not expect that Xu Sanshi would stick to her like a dog skin plaster, which made her feel extremely dull.

Xu Zihuang was about to take the form handed to him by Jiang Nannan, when Xu Sanshi, who was next to him, suddenly stood in front of Jiang Nannan ahead of time, eyeing Xu Zihuang warily.

"Elementary school boy, let me be in charge of your registration, my name is Xu Sanshi."

Xu Zihuang's superior appearance has brought him a lot of pressure.

In his opinion, in the outer courtyard of Shrek Academy, the most prominent Bei Bei is probably inferior to the elementary school boy in front of him.

He also knows that Jiang Nannan isn't the type to judge people based on her appearance, but what if she is?

Jiang Nannan frowned but didn't say much.

It's okay if Xu Sanshi receives it, and he will take it to report and register at the university later, so as not to disturb her.

"I don't care," Xu Zihuang shrugged, recorded the information from him, and then injected his soul power into a blue crystal ball.

If you prove that your soul power exceeds level fifteen, the test is considered complete.

Xu Sanshi took Xu Zihuang to Shrek Academy, and at the same time, he did not forget to turn around and greet Jiang Nannan.

"Nannan, I'll be right back."

People can't help but sigh at his thick skin.

The Shrek Academy setting is beautiful, with rich and lush vegetation.

Walking along the wide avenue, no matter which way you look, you can see at least ten kinds of plants, and these plants are obviously carefully pruned.

Walking forward for two hundred meters, several huge statues in front blocked the view. There are as many as ten statues, all ten meters high, and they are carved from the hardest granite.

This is the Golden Iron Triangle and Shrek's original Seven Monsters that founded Shrek Academy ten thousand years ago.

Xu Zihuang only glanced at the statues briefly, then withdrew his gaze.

Xu Sanshi also wanted to finish the mission quickly and return to Jiang Nannan's side, of course, he didn't have time to explain it to Xu Zihuang.

Going to the left of the statue, the path is still wide enough to accommodate four or five carriages at a roadside sign with the words Lakeside Path.

A wide surface of the water can be faintly seen through the green and shady trees on the right side, in other words, behind these ten statues, there is a large lake.

Walking along the path by the lake, Xu Zihuang, who was thinking about Xu Sanshi's future actions, suddenly said: "Brother Xu, do you like that big sister just now? I think they would make a good match."

The story of the dog that tirelessly licks and finally embraces beauty is too classic or cliché.

Hearing Xu Zihuang's words, Xu Sanshi, who was walking in front, couldn't help but turn his head and look back.

He did not understand the meaning of Xu Zihuang's words, but he smiled and patted Xu Zihuang's shoulder affectionately.

Xu Zihuang's words hit his inner thoughts too much.

"Little brother, I didn't expect you to be very picky, in the future, if you have any problems at Shrek Academy, just let me know Xu Sanshi's name."

"Then thank big brother Xu," Xu Zihuang laughed, feeling that the future Xu Sanshi was too humble, so he couldn't help but remind him.

"However, Big Brother Xu, it is bound to be difficult to reap the rewards for such blind dedication."

The more you pay, the more you care, the more you give to a person, and the more you like them.

Most of the time what matters to me is actually the time and energy I put in, the more I put in the more reluctant I am to give up.

Xu Sanshi entered a dead end, his love for Jiang Nannan may not be that deep.

Regarding Xu Zihuang's advice, Xu Sanshi smiled wryly and sighed.

"You do not understand."

When Xu Zihuang saw this, he knowingly didn't say anything else and was secretly upset.

In fact, no one knows how to be a licking dog better than you.
