Douluo: Becoming Qian Renxue

Chapter 64: Swindler Academy
Two days later

Early in the morning, Qian Renxue took Tang San and Xiao Wu to leave the Rose Hotel where they had stayed for two days, left Soto City from the south gate, and headed towards their destination.

Tang San had a good impression of the Rose Hotel, but the price was a bit too expensive. When they left the hotel, the damaged parts of the hotel lobby had been repaired. The teacher must have spent a lot of money this time, and he must become stronger as soon as possible and not let the teacher think about him everywhere.

Tang San and Xiao Wu didn't know much about Shrek Academy. Qian Renxue just told them to continue studying here and didn't say anything more.

Judging from their age, Tang San and Xiao Wu should go to the Intermediate Soul Master Academy, but with their current strength, they are not far from graduating from the Advanced Soul Master Academy, let alone the Intermediate. If this Shrek Academy is just an Intermediate Soul Master Academy, is there any need to come here?

Tang San believed that the teacher would never do anything meaningless. Since he was asked to come here, there must be a reason for the teacher.

"Teacher, where is Shrek Academy?" Xiao Wu couldn't help but ask.

After leaving Soto City, we followed the road south. There were large tracts of farmland on both sides of the official road. Soto City’s reputation as the food capital of the Barak Kingdom was not for nothing.

However, apart from the large farmland, there was nothing that looked like a college building as far as the eye could see.

"Just walk south, you will find it eventually." Qian Renxue said. She had never been to this broken place before, so she could only walk south according to the description in the original book.

A few hours later…

"Teacher, look, there is a small village over there." After walking for a while, Xiao Wu pointed in a direction and shouted.

Qian Renxue looked in the direction of Xiao Wu's finger, and saw a small village about a mile ahead. With her level 99 cultivation and Fiery Eyes, Qian Renxue could clearly tell that the village had about a hundred households and was not too large.

There is a wooden fence surrounding the village, which seems to be used to prevent wild animals. There seemed to be a lot of people gathered at the entrance of the village, wondering what was going on.

Qian Renxue smiled gently and said, "This should be Shrek Academy."

Although she appeared calm on the surface, she couldn't help but think in her heart, "WTF?" How could an intermediate soul master academy be so sloppy?
Xiao Wu looked in that direction in disbelief and couldn't help asking, "Teacher, are you sure?"

Qian Renxue nodded and said, "Sure."

Tang San also looked at the village not far away with some doubt. Is this certain?
Xiao Wu couldn't help but comfort herself: "Perhaps, this is just an assessment of Shrek Academy. The real academy may not be here."

Tang San nodded and agreed: "It is possible."

Qian Renxue's words directly broke their fantasy and said, "You're overthinking it. This is the real Shrek Academy."

Xiao Wu pouted in disbelief. Tang San also lamented the shabby appearance of Shrek Academy, which was not even as good as the Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy.

When they got closer, they saw quite a few people gathered at the entrance of the village. Most of them were teenagers around the same age as Tang San and Xiao Wu, and most of them were accompanied by their parents.

There was a table at the entrance of the village, behind which sat an old man in his sixties. On the wooden arch at the entrance of the village hung a tattered-looking plaque with five simple words engraved on it - Shrek Academy.

In front of these five words, there is a green head, which looks like the head of a humanoid monster. It is green and a little cute. The old man behind the desk also has a similar green round badge on his chest, which is the school emblem of Shrek Academy.

"No way?" Xiao Wu looked at the small village in front of her in astonishment.

Even the scale of Notting Junior Soul Master Academy is much larger than this place, and it is obviously like an ordinary small village. The archway at the entrance is not only made of wood, but also less than one-third of the size of Notting Academy. Can this be called a Soul Master Academy?
Tang San couldn't help but secretly complain about Shrek Academy.

"Teacher, is this a mistake? No matter how I look at it, I don't think this looks like an academy. Could it be a scam?" Xiao Wu looked at Qian Renxue and asked, trying to find some psychological comfort.

Qian Renxue smiled and said, "You'll know after you take a look."

At this time, there were about a hundred applicants in front of them, many of whom were frowning, obviously having the same idea as Xiao Wu.

The parents of the boy in front of him were all by his side. The boy's mother said, "Are you kidding me? Is this the so-called Spirit Master Academy? Or is it the academy that claims that graduates can become Viscounts of the Empire?" The boy's father said uncertainly, "This is what the Spirit Hall people said. It shouldn't be wrong. But this academy is really shabby."

The young man said: "Dad, I don't want to go to school here, it's too embarrassing. I'd better go to Soto Intermediate Soul Master College. After all, I was considered a genius when I was in the junior college."

The boy's father frowned and said, "Since you are already here, just wait a little longer."

There were definitely a lot of similar conversations among the people waiting in line, and the faces of most teenagers and parents showed deep disappointment.

The old man sitting behind the desk who was responsible for accepting registrations looked lazy. His clothes were simple, to put it nicely. No matter how you looked at him, he looked like a village elder.

At this time, a young man came to the desk to sign up. The old man said lazily: "Just put the registration fee of ten gold soul coins in that box."

The young man's accompanying father quickly took out ten gold soul coins and put them into a box made of several boards nailed to the side.

"Extend a hand."

The young man Ru Yan stretched out his hand in front of the old man. The old man squeezed his hand twice, shook his head and said, "You are not of your age, you can leave."

The young man was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at his father. There were not many teenage children as precocious as Tang San.

His father hurriedly smiled and said: "Teacher, my son just celebrated his thirteenth birthday. Do you think you can be accommodating?"

The old man said a little impatiently: "Don't disturb the people behind you. Don't you know the rules of the academy? We only accept children under the age of thirteen. We will not accept any children over the age of thirteen. You can leave."

The boy's father said: "Then our registration fee..."

The old man said unceremoniously: "Once you sign up, it will not be refunded."

The clay figurine was still earthy, and the boy's father couldn't help but said angrily: "You are obviously cheating us. Refund our registration fee, otherwise we won't leave. If I had known that this so-called Shrek Academy was so shabby, we wouldn't have It’s time to come.”

Qian Renxue felt angry when she saw this scene. If Shrek wasn't taught a lesson, he would take her seriously.

Ten gold soul coins may not be considered a lot of money in the eyes of a soul master, but for ordinary people and even ordinary soul masters, it is a long period of daily expenses. Isn't this obviously a way of making dirty money?
The old man glanced at him and said calmly: "Mubai, someone wants to repay the fame fee. Please handle it."

On the ground next to him, a figure suddenly jumped up, "You can repay the name fee if you want, just hit me and I'll refund it all."

This person was Dai Mubai. Qian Renxue hadn't noticed him because he was sitting aside and was blocked by the crowd. What was slightly different from the day when Tang San and Xiao Wu saw him was that the look on his face this time was somewhat helpless.

Among soul masters, soul rings always have the best say. Seeing the three soul rings on Dai Mubai, including a thousand-year soul ring, the young man's father's expression changed greatly, and he said, "We are in bad luck." He walked quickly with his son.

Dai Mubai returned to the side and sat down again. His evil eyes glanced coldly at the teenagers and parents who signed up behind him, and his threat was obvious. The pressure brought by three soul rings is not something ordinary people can bear. At this time, he no longer looked like a playboy, but more like a thug.

After this scene ended, the number of people waiting in line was reduced by one-third. No one was willing to spend money in vain, not to mention, the appearance of Shrek Academy in front of them was really unflattering.

Qian Renxue could no longer bear Shrek's shamelessness, and quickly stepped forward, saying in a pleasant voice accompanied by soul power pressure: "Wait a minute!"

Dai Mubai had just finished showing off when he was instantly pressured by the soul power. His face immediately turned cold and he turned around, intending to teach this ignorant wild girl a lesson.

"Jiang...Miss Jiang!" Dai Mubai was stunned when he saw "Jiang Xue" whom he had been thinking about for two days.

In a few dozen chapters or so, Gu Yuena will appear. Because I have only read a little bit of Dou San, I don't know much about her personality. So I wrote Gu Yuena's personality as a queen type. Maybe if you have read Dou San, please give me a brief introduction. Thank you.
