Douluo: The Thousand-Faced Angel in Dragon King

Chapter 26: Arriving at Shrek and meeting the beauty again
Shrek City, the largest city in Douluo Continent and the largest city in the Federation, was built by Shrek Academy, renowned as the continent's premier academy. However, it houses not only Shrek Academy but also the headquarters of two major superpowers, the Tang Sect and the Spirit Pagoda. This gives Shrek City a significant economic and political position in the Federation.

Shrek City is divided into the outer city and the inner city. The residents of Shrek City live in the outer city, while the inner city belongs entirely to Shrek Academy. Non-Shrek Academy members are not allowed to enter.

Today was the day for Shrek Academy to hold its inner courtyard examination. The inner courtyard examination was very strict, and if outsiders wanted to participate, they first had to obtain a place in the inner courtyard examination from Shrek Academy.

If you have a place in the inner courtyard examination, you can participate in the inner courtyard examination. If you pass the examination, you can enter the inner courtyard directly. If you fail the examination, you can enter the outer courtyard without taking the examination.

Therefore, as long as there is a place for the inner courtyard examination, you will definitely be able to enter Shrek Academy. Therefore, the inner courtyard examination places are very precious. Shrek Academy only gives out 50 places every year, and only a few can pass.

Today, a soul-guided car with the Holy Angel family crest on it drove into Shrek City, passed through the bustling streets, and stopped in front of the gate of Shrek's inner city.

The car door opened and a handsome boy with black hair and black eyes got out of the car.

The boy had a smile on his face, a noble temperament, and exuded a kind of particularly sacred aura.

A silver scale pendant hung around her neck, and she wore a white trench coat. The coat was meticulously crafted, with golden threads woven into intricate patterns. When the breeze blew, it looked as if an angel made of golden threads was flapping its wings.

The boy looked up at the "Shrek Academy" sign hanging on the tall city gate and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

After traveling for more than nine years, I, Qian Mo, finally arrived at Shrek Academy, which runs through the original novel.

Half a year has passed, and Qian Mo came to Shrek Academy as promised, but I wonder if the other one has kept his promise?
Qian Mo's eyes kept scanning the surroundings, and finally stopped when he caught a glimpse of the silver-haired girl he had been thinking about day and night.

The silver-haired girl wore a red cross pendant around her neck, with silver hair hanging down naturally like a waterfall. She was dressed in a silver outfit, looking quite heroic.

Gu Yuena, who was resting with her eyes closed in the corner, opened her eyes with a sense of knowing what was happening, and her purple eyes met Qian Mo's deep black eyes.

Deep thoughts surged in their hearts, and the two couldn't help but reveal a bright smile from the heart.

Seeing the beauty he had missed for a long time, Qian Mo tried hard to suppress his inner excitement, and walked towards Gu Yuena quickly, unable to wait.

A myriad of emotions flooded my heart, and thousands of words finally turned into one sentence.

"Long time no see, Na'er!"

"Long time no see, Amo!" Gu Yuena's mouth moved slightly, and she seemed to want to say something but stopped herself. Finally, she uttered these simple words that contained deep longing.

After the two of them opened their hearts to each other and expressed their deep longing for each other, their heated minds calmed down and they began to care about each other's recent situation.

"How have you been since you returned to your family?" Qian Mo asked, pretending not to know Gu Yuena's true situation.

Gu Yuena feigned composure and said calmly, "My family has been very kind to me. They are all very happy to see me back, and even shed tears."

"What about you?" Gu Yuena simply lied and quickly changed the subject.

"Me?" Qian Mo raised an eyebrow and spoke incessantly, "Except for the time I miss you every day, everything is fine. My cultivation is going smoothly. I'm already a 28th-level Great Spirit Master. I'm proficient in swords, spears, swords, and halberds. I've also mastered spirit guides, forging, mecha manufacturing, and so on. I'm arguably the most versatile and outstanding genius on the continent."

"Hmph," Gu Yuena blushed and snorted coldly, "Half a year since we last met, you've become even more shameless."

"How can you be shameless? I'm just stating the facts." Qian Mo emphasized.

"Okay, okay, you're the strongest, you're the number one genius, it's time to take the inner courtyard exam." Gu Yuena said helplessly, dragging Qian Mo towards the entrance of Shrek Academy. "Hey, wait," Qian Mo pulled Gu Yuena back and forth, asking curiously, "The inner courtyard exam requires a quota, do you have one?"

"Yes, my teacher gave it to me." Gu Yuena replied.

Qian Mo thought about the plot of the original novel and confirmed: "Who is your teacher?"

Gu Yuena pursed her lips and said softly, "The Deputy Tower Master of the Spiritual Pagoda, Leng Yaozhu."

Sure enough, Gu Yuena finally chose to join the Spirit Pagoda as in the original novel and became Leng Yaoju's student.

"The four-character battle armor master, Tianfeng Douluo Leng Yaozhu." Qian Mo said.

Gu Yuena nodded and said affirmatively, "That's right, this isn't for an appointment. I asked the teacher to help me get a spot for the inner courtyard assessment."

In the Spirit Pagoda, Leng Yaozhu's faction has a reasonable relationship with Shrek Academy, so getting a place is not a problem.

Qian Mo snapped his fingers and said ostentatiously, "Now that everything is ready, let's go and tidy up Shrek Academy."

Two young men in dark green uniforms were guarding the city gate.

"We are here to take part in the inner courtyard assessment," Qian Mo and Gu Yuena each took out a hexagonal metal plate and handed it over.

The metal medal is a temporary admission order to Shrek's inner city, specially issued to facilitate students who come to take the assessment.

One of the young men came over and scanned the two people's metal tags with an instrument. After confirming that there was no problem, he made way and said with a smile, "Please follow the signs to the main teaching building of the External College to receive the assessment. I wish you both good luck in your exams."

"Thank you!" Qian Mo replied politely, and walked into the long-famous Shrek inner city with Gu Yuena.

The two strolled through the quaint, wide bluestone streets and came to a huge square.

Surrounding the square is a large circle of ancient buildings, which form a semicircle and are carved with various full-body portraits.

A statue of Lingbing Douluo Huo Yuhao stands in the fountain in the center of the square. The square is also named Lingbing Square after Huo Yuhao's title.

Qian Mo stared at Huo Yuhao's statue, his tone calm but domineering.

"I will far surpass him, there is no doubt about it!"

"I believe you," Gu Yuena's cold voice sounded in her ears.

The two smiled at each other and walked together towards the huge circular building in front of them, which was the main teaching building of the outer courtyard.

At this time, the inner courtyard examination had not yet begun, and the main teaching building had not yet been opened. There were scattered young soul masters who came to participate in the inner courtyard examination waiting outside the door.

There are large areas of green plants and flower beds outside the teaching building, among which stand small pavilions.

Qian Mo and Gu Yuena found an empty pavilion and sat down next to each other to rest, waiting for the test to begin.
