Outside Shrek Academy, a few Soul Masters were standing in front of the main gate. They glanced at each other and then nodded...
They immediately stepped forward to enter but were stopped by two students who were responsible for guarding Shrek Academy...
"Halt, outsiders are not permitted to enter the Academy,"
Seeing this, the leading Soul Master showed a friendly smile, "We mean no harm, we are here specifically to apply for the teacher positions at Shrek Academy,"
The rest of the Soul Masters nodded and tried their best to pull off a smile!
The two students showed a cautious look and did not let them in!
It was known that not many Soul Masters had come to apply for teaching positions these days, and suddenly so many had arrived today, which seemed unusual.
One of them then said, "Please wait here, I will notify Elder Cai!"
The head Soul Master immediately replied, "No problem!"
The former said no more, turning quickly to enter the Academy and report...
A few minutes later, Ya'li and Cai Yue'er came out together...
Their gaze instantly locked onto the several unfamiliar Soul Masters before them, and two massive streams of spiritual power probed towards them...
The Soul Masters only felt the pressure surge, sweat forming on their foreheads, yet they dared not move an inch...
After detecting no issues, they quietly withdrew their spiritual power...
Cai Yue'er's tone then softened a bit, speaking in a gentle voice, "Are you the ones who wish to apply for the teacher positions at Shrek Academy?"
The previous psychic power probe was mainly to assess their abilities. If they could not even withstand that...
There would be no further matters!
The Soul Masters felt as if a great weight had been lifted, nodding and saying, "Exactly, Elder Cai, all of us wish to apply for the teacher positions at Shrek Academy,"
For a moment just then, they even felt as if their lives were in the hands of the two Elders of the Sea God Pavilion!
Fortunately, the Elders had not discovered any issues!
Ya'li's beautiful eyes twinkled as she reminded them, "To become a teacher at our Shrek Academy, you need to pass an assessment!"
"You all understand this, right?"
One prerequisite for becoming a teacher at Shrek Academy is that one's soul power rank must not be low!
Secondly, one must have a specialty in at least one domain, such as forging and so on...
Beyond that, one has to accept the assessments set by Shrek Academy!
Only after passing all three criteria would one be qualified to become a teacher!
The men immediately nodded to indicate their understanding, "We were prepared before we came!"
Ya'li then turned to Cai Yue'er and asked, "Elder Cai, what do you think?"
After contemplating for a moment, Cai Yue'er decided, "Since they are already here, let's give them a try. If they can pass, that would be great!"
Shrek Academy was in such dire need of teachers that they naturally did not want to miss any opportunity!
Ya'li nodded slightly, "Exactly, I was thinking the same,"
Although for some reason she felt an indescribable aversion towards these men...
However, it could also just be her misconception...
After a pause, she said to the men, "Gentlemen, please follow us,"

Tang Wulin and his friends, who were taking a break at noon, naturally received this news…
Yue Zhengyu said with excitement, "Eh? The academy actually has someone applying for a teacher's position? This is great!"
Xu Xiaoyan nodded in agreement, "That's right, with new teachers joining, we can finally step down from our positions. Otherwise, we don't even have time to cultivate!"
Xie Xie licked his lips, looking somewhat excited. "I thought that all Soul Masters had joined the Spirit Pagoda, and our Shrek Academy wouldn't be able to recruit any teachers this year."
Ye Xinglan blinked her beautiful eyes and suggested, "Well... this afternoon, the students will cultivate on their own, and we're free anyway. Why don't we go take a look?"
Xu Lizhi immediately stated his position without hesitation, "I agree, I also want to see what kind of Soul Master would apply for a teaching position at this time!"
Yuanen Yehui turned to Tang Wulin and asked, "Wulin, what do you think?"
Tang Wulin, who was deep in thought, suddenly snapped back to reality and said subconsciously, "I think that up until recently, basically no Soul Masters have come to apply."
"But today, so many have suddenly come, which I find a bit unbelievable."
Yuanen Yehui, sensing the implication in his words, took on a colder tone, "Wulin, are you afraid that these Soul Masters are...?"
Tang Wulin did not deny it but confirmed the previous view, "Yeah, we can't rule out the possibility that they are Evil Soul Masters from the Holy Spirit Cult who have sneaked in while we were off guard!"
Xie Xie frowned, "That's impossible, with Elder Ya'li and Elder Cai in charge of vetting, if they are Evil Soul Masters, they should be able to tell at a glance!"
On hearing this, Tang Wulin reminded them again, "Guys, don't underestimate the Evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Cult. If they could be recognized at a glance, then why were so many found within Shrek Academy previously?"
With those words, everyone's expressions became serious...
Yue Zhengyu changed his previous attitude, "I think Wulin has a point. It's better to be cautious!"
"After all, the consequences are too dreadful to consider if an Evil Soul Master becomes a teacher!"
Xie Xie shook his head, putting aside all his concerns, and declared firmly, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go take a look right now. If we really discover a Soul Master, we definitely can't let them leave the academy alive, or else it would seem as though anyone can come and go as they please!"
Yuanen Yehui clenched his fists, "I actually hope they are Evil Soul Masters, so that we can avenge our fallen teachers and fellow students!"
Tang Wulin suddenly stood up, "Let's go see if these people are Evil Soul Masters or not!"
With that, the group hurriedly made their way to the vetting location...
Upon arrival, the first ones they saw were Ya'li and Cai Yue'er...
As for the Soul Masters applying for the teaching positions, they were nervously undergoing the assessment...
Tang Wulin moved to Cai Yue'er's side and unleashed his Purple Demon Eyes to probe each Soul Master one by one...
Then, with a hint of surprise, he said, "Elder Cai, these people... they all seem fine!"
Cai Yue'er, while continuing to observe the Soul Masters, answered, "Yes, for now, they haven't shown anything unusual, and I don't sense the presence of Evil Soul Masters from any of them!"
"However... to confirm that none of them is mingled with Evil Soul Masters, we still need to observe further!"
Tang Wulin suddenly thought of something and whispered a few words into her ear...
After listening, Cai Yue'er looked shocked, "Wulin, isn't that a bit too harsh?"
Tang Wulin gave a bitter smile, "Elder Cai, it's a necessary measure for the sake of the academy. We cannot let any Evil Soul Master stay!!"
Cai Yue'er took a deep breath, "Then let's give it a try, maybe this method will indeed reveal something abnormal!"
