Douluo: The Unrivaled Demon Lord

Chapter 14 Shrek City, the former seven monsters

After completing the absorption, the three did not stay in the Star Dou Great Forest for too long, but set off overnight to Shrek City.

The three of them flew all the way to the northwest. A hundred meters below them was the outer circle of the Star Dou Great Forest. Amid the roars of countless low-level soul beasts, the three figures were not affected at all, and then disappeared into the distant sky together.

The area where they hunted the Thorn Dragon was not far from Shrek Academy. In addition, all three of them could fly, so when the next morning came, they had already arrived at the Lima Plain where Shrek Academy was located.

There were many pedestrians on the straight and wide road, and the carriage wheels made a crisp sound when they collided with the ground. The three of them slowly landed a hundred meters outside the city, and then entered Shrek City from the north gate.

Shrek City is one of the largest cities in Douluo Continent today. Its permanent population once exceeded two million, second only to the capitals of the four empires in size. The business trade here is very developed, and it is the most recognized commercial city on the continent. Every day, countless merchants from the three empires come and go in the city. The reason why Shrek City's business is so developed is very simple.

One reason is that this place is located at the core intersection of the three major empires, and its geographical location is very special.

The second reason is that the security level in Shrek City is higher.

In fact, excluding certain specific scenarios, Shrek City is patrolled by Shrek Academy's law enforcement team all day and night. In addition, the strict laws issued by Shrek Academy have a deterrent effect. Things like rape and looting rarely happen in the city.

The streets in the city are very wide and clean, with various stalls on both sides of the streets. It is very lively, but a little too noisy.

Han Ruoruo seemed in a good mood, constantly introducing every aspect of Shrek City to Shu Yan and the others. She had been studying at Shrek Academy since she was twelve years old, and had now spent thirteen years there. Even though she rarely went out, she was naturally familiar with Shrek City through what she had seen and heard.

After walking and talking for nearly two hours, the three of them finally arrived at the gate of Shrek Academy.

Until then, Han Ruoruo slapped her forehead fiercely, then turned around and looked at Shu Yan, and said hesitantly:
"Ayan, the enrollment period for this year's academy has passed, so now..."

Shu Yan looked at Han Ruoruo with amusement. He didn't expect that Han Ruoruo, who was always smart, would suddenly worry about these trivial issues.

Having said that, Shu Yan still took out a platinum envelope from the storage soul guide, which was printed with the monster mark unique to Shrek Academy.

"This is a letter of recommendation written by Yan Shaozhe, the dean of Shrek Academy. Sister Ruoruo, do you think it matters when I enroll now that I have this?"

"Oh~"

Han Ruoruo woke up as if from a dream, and then chuckled:
"I actually forgot about this. Grandpa Shu is also a graduate of the Inner Court. He was even a member of the Shrek Seven Devils. Speaking of which, he was also Dean Yan's senior."

Shu Yan just smiled, then looked up at the rather spectacular school gate, and then called Han Ruoruo to walk into Shrek Academy.

Unlike the hustle and bustle of Shrek City, once you enter the Shrek Academy, the surroundings suddenly become quiet, and even the sound of footsteps can be clearly heard by everyone.

The environment here is very quiet and beautiful. There are countless plants and flowers on both sides of the wide road. Most of them are trimmed very neatly. When the breeze blows, you can smell the faint fragrance of flowers.

After walking about a few hundred meters, the scene in front of me suddenly became clear.

What appeared before the three of them were ten huge statues carved from the hardest granite. These ten were the former Seven Gods and the three Shrek founders.

Shu Yan's eyes swept across the ten statues one by one, lingering only for a moment on the statue in the middle. He only glanced at the other statues roughly without much interest.

Han Ruoruo did not introduce them. The legends about these people were well known to everyone on the continent. She and Shu Yan were of noble birth, so they not only knew them very well, but also knew some special secrets.

Gu Yun, who was standing aside, mostly focused her gaze on a statue of a plump and graceful black-haired woman.

For some reason, she always felt that she was somewhat similar to the Shrek Seven Devils from ten thousand years ago. It was a very strange feeling, but soon, Gu Yun dismissed the idea of ​​being one of the Seven Devils.

Perhaps it was because they both possessed dark cat-type martial spirits, or perhaps it was because they felt a sense of sympathy... Gu Yun lowered her head. Hmm... I couldn't see the toes. Well, they did look quite similar...

After passing these ten statues, the road in front of you has come to an end, and in its place is a fork.

Han Ruoruo led the two of them to the larger building complex on the left, introducing them as they walked:

"The smaller area on the right is the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy. Hmm...it basically has no connection with the Martial Soul Department. They have fewer students and fewer resources allocated to them. But when it comes to developing soul guides, they do have ample funding. However, it's been a bit quiet in recent years."

To be honest, Han Ruoruo has no objection to soul guides. Even the entire Han family does not have the same resistance to soul guides as traditional soul master families. Now, more than 50% of the soul guide trade in Douling is monopolized by the Han family. This is an absolute huge profit, which is very enviable.

The flying soul guide that Han Ruoruo had used before was jointly created by two seventh-level soul guides recruited by their family. Although it was not as sophisticated and advanced as the flying soul guide of the Sun-Moon Empire, it was already very good compared to the three countries in the original continent.

Walking along the lakeside path, you can vaguely see an extremely wide expanse of water behind the lush trees in the distance. That is the legendary Poseidon Lake. The inner courtyard of Shrek Academy is built on the island in the center of the lake.

After walking for about twenty minutes, the original road began to shrink, and a huge square appeared in front of everyone. Behind the square were tall teaching buildings of different colors.

Many junior students from the external school wearing white and yellow school uniforms appeared on the road one after another. They walked side by side in twos and threes. Many of them looked at the three of them curiously, and many boys and girls cast astonished glances at them from time to time.

Boys and girls aged twelve or thirteen are at the age of youth and the beginning of love, and Shu Yan's group of three are all handsome men and beautiful women, which naturally attracts a lot of attention.

After walking past several teaching buildings, the three of them came to a building that looked like an office building. Han Ruoruo stopped and turned around and said:

"Ayan, I'll take you to see Director Du, the director of the outer courtyard first. The academy has many rules. Even though I'm an inner courtyard student, it's not easy for me to take you directly to the inner courtyard. Let Director Du pass on the message on my behalf. It won't waste much time."

Shu Yan nodded. Since he had just arrived, he should still be polite.

Walking into the office building behind the purple and black teaching buildings, a unique scent hits you in the face. Different from the elegant fragrance of the quiet soul wood, this scent is obviously stronger, like some kind of special incense.

The three of them had not taken two steps when they heard faint footsteps coming from a distant corner.

The owner of the footsteps soon appeared in the sight of the three people. She was an old woman with chicken skin and white hair, of medium build, and gray hair tied up on top of her head. She looked a bit old-fashioned and mean, but her eyes were extremely bright and gave people a very sharp feeling.

"Teacher Zhou…"

Han Ruoruo greeted him without changing her expression.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yi looked up at the three of them, then hummed softly, her voice hoarse and unpleasant, as if something was blocking her vocal tract.

As they passed each other, Shu Yan and the old woman exchanged glances, and there was something indescribably strange in their eyes.

Shu Yan shrugged. He didn't expect to meet Zhou Yi here, but he had no interest in her. He turned around and continued to follow Han Ruoruo forward.

Although it was just their first meeting, he had to admit that his first impression of this old woman was not good...
