After all, the fact that the examiners here were the three of them showed that Cai Yue'er should have been one of the examiners as well. However, when she had previously lowered her guard and asked them to help a young girl pass the test, they were extremely surprised.

After all, they knew Cai Yue'er's bad temper all too well after working together for so many years. When asked why, she would only say that the girl had good talent, but was too arrogant and needed to be tempered.

Bullshit! Don't they know Cai Yue'er? She probably had a falling out with the girl, but she's too proud to back down and let her pass. So she's resorting to these guys as a roundabout way to get things done.

“You’re wrong,” Fors retorted to Zhuoshi.

"Did you say something wrong?" Zhuoshi was taken aback.

“Yes.” Fors nodded. “That old hag is not only jealous of my talent, but also deeply jealous of my beauty.”

"It's probably because she didn't look human when she was young, and now she looks like a witch, that's why she's so hostile towards me."

"..."

Zhuoshi stared speechlessly at Fors, surprised that this little girl was so narcissistic. However, looking at Fors's appearance, even he couldn't help but nod in approval.

"That's somewhat possible. After all, Cai Yue'er wasn't as good-looking as you when she was young."

"Ahem!" Old Li, standing to the side, coughed a few times when Zhuo Shi steered the conversation towards appearances; otherwise, he was afraid that Cai Yue'er, hiding nearby, would rush out and fight Zhuo Shi. He then quickly changed the subject.

"Alright, alright. Little girl, just let us old guys see what's going on. No matter what the result is, I guarantee you'll pass this test with a perfect score. Consider it an apology to Cai Yue for maliciously deducting points from you earlier."

"Alright, then open your eyes wide and see clearly."

Fors nodded, stomped her foot, and four familiar yet terrifying ten-thousand-year soul rings rose from beneath her, while her spiritual power at the Spirit Abyss Realm also erupted from her body.

With her hands clasped together, a five-colored lotus flower emerged from her palms. At the same time, the four elements of wind, thunder, light, and darkness poured into it, causing the five elements within the lotus to surge violently, as if it were about to explode at any moment.

Unlike before, this time Fors created the lotus specifically for the purpose of exploding, so she no longer needed to worry about stability; she just needed to pour elemental power into it like crazy.

Meanwhile, the three from the opposite side of the world stared in utter astonishment at Fors, who was condensing an elemental lotus. From the moment Fors revealed his four ten-thousand-year soul rings, they understood why Cai Yue'er had been willing to lower herself to ask them for help.

They'd be willing to stoop to the level of a genius like that!

When they saw the spiritual power of the Spirit Abyss Realm erupting from Fors, they were even more shocked. They knew that even they were only at the Spirit Abyss Realm.

A thirteen-year-old girl actually caught up with them in terms of spiritual power.

She's already at the Spirit Abyss Realm, so what about the future? When this girl reaches the Title Douluo level, her spiritual power will likely be infinitely close to, or even already at, the Spirit Domain Realm! It's not impossible that she might even reach that legendary spiritual power realm!

Now, looking at the little girl who was condensing elemental lotus flowers, they were even more at a loss for what expression to make.

Nine elements! This little girl's martial soul can actually control nine elements and fuse them together. Without a doubt, her martial soul is definitely a top-tier martial soul.

With all of this combined, it's no wonder that when they asked the young girl for information, that old woman Cai Yue'er evaded the question and refused to tell the truth. It turns out she wanted to keep everything to herself!

Is this okay? No, this is not okay! We've been colleagues for so many years, and you still want to hide it from them and secretly take on apprentices? Pshaw, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

Of course, despite their inner turmoil, the three old men tried their best to maintain their composure and keep their dignity intact.

"This move is called: Buddha's Wrath Lotus."

No problem, her name is Fors Wall, so it's called Fors Wall's Wrath Lotus. This isn't plagiarism; it's an expression of her anger at that old hag for belittling her.

After saying that, the girl reached out and grabbed at the void. Silver spatial elements enveloped the fire lotus, and then she threw the fire lotus out, which flew towards the three old men in front of her.

"boom!"

Once the flying fire lotus was uncontrolled, it exploded rapidly. The spatial elements surrounding it further disrupted the surrounding space, and the terrifying nine elements erupted quickly, as if they were about to destroy everything around them.

"Hahaha, as expected, new talents emerge in every generation. I never imagined you could manipulate spatial elements. Little girl, I'll accept this Fire Lotus. My surname is Xu, and my given name is Miao."

The old man named Xu Miao laughed heartily, and nine spirit rings rose from beneath his feet: four purple, four black, and one red. Then, the seventh spirit ring lit up, and a huge Xuanwu appeared behind the old man.

Xuanwu opened its mouth and spat out a stream of black Xuan water, which enveloped the fire lotus. At the same time, a powerful suction force erupted from its body, drawing all the energy released by the fire lotus towards it.

Then, it opened its mouth and slowly absorbed all the terrifying energy before turning into a black light and disappearing behind the old man.

"The examiners from Shrek Academy are indeed quite capable." Fors looked at her fire lotus and was not surprised that the old man had accepted them all; it was something she had expected.

After the old man parried Fors's attack, he flashed in front of Fors and said with a smile, "Little girl, based on your performance just now, you get full marks in this round. I guarantee you."

"However," the old man changed the subject, "I have a few personal questions I'd like to ask you. Of course, you can refuse if it's inconvenient for you."

"what is the problem?"

Xu Miao stared intently at Fors and asked, "Little girl, what family are you from? Who are your parents? Have you joined any faction?"

Fors was taken aback for a moment, but then she realized why the old man had asked her that question, so she said calmly, "I am not a member of any family, nor have I joined any faction."

My father worked for the Federal Military, and my mother was an employee of the Spirit Pagoda. However, shortly after my birth, they tragically perished in a horrific attack by evil spirit masters. I grew up in an orphanage in Tianhai City.

"What! And your spirit rings?"

"After my parents died, their inheritance was embezzled by others. It was only after I awakened my martial spirit and displayed my talent that the tower master of the Spirit Pagoda in Tianhai City helped me reclaim it."

I traded that inheritance for a soul and several years of free access to the Ascension Platform, and then gradually rose through the ranks. Finding that out shouldn't be too difficult.

Looking at the calm-faced Fors, Cangjing Kong felt a pang of sympathy for the little girl. She hadn't expected her to have such an experience, even though she spoke of it so calmly.

But one can only imagine how much sweat and effort went into elevating a soul to the ten-thousand-year level step by step.

"This..." The old man looked embarrassed. He hadn't expected that all he wanted to do was find out about the girl's background and see if she was a descendant of some hidden family, since four ten-thousand-year soul rings were really too amazing! He never expected that he would accidentally reopen someone else's wound.

However, Xu Miao quickly recovered and said to Fors with a face full of apology, "I'm sorry, young lady. I didn't expect to bring up your sad story. This was my mistake, and I apologize to you here."

"If you don't mind, you can call me Grandpa. I still have a lot of influence at Shrek Academy, and I will definitely not let you suffer any injustice."

"Huh?" Fors stared at him speechlessly. He actually wanted to be her grandfather? He was dreaming. "No, I'm more used to living alone."

"Alright!" Xu Miao sighed, then took out a token and handed it to Fors. "If you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, you can take this token to the inner courtyard to find me and study at Shrek Academy..."

"Get out of the way, you old tortoise!"

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Miao was pulled aside by a large hand, and Zhuo Shi's figure appeared in front of Fors. "I didn't expect that you would be able to achieve such strength on your own at such a young age."

Looking at you, I see a reflection of my younger self. If you encounter any difficulties in the outer courtyard, you can come to me in the inner courtyard. My name is Zhuoshi, and my title is Chilong. I will give you prior notice so you can freely enter and leave the inner courtyard.

If that old hag Cai Yue'er dares to make things difficult for you again, feel free to come to me, and I will definitely uphold justice for you.

At this moment, Elder Li also came over and said, "This matter was indeed overdone by Cai Yue'er. She almost caused the academy to lose a peerless genius. My name is Li Xunhuan, and I will later apply to the academy to impeach her."

"Little girl, the three of us are now officially announcing that your score for the tenth level is ten out of ten. Congratulations on passing the assessment. You just need to register at the college's academic affairs office later; I've already told them."

"Oh!" Fors nodded calmly. "Then can I go now?"

"Uh, okay." Old Li nodded. It was normal for the young man to be unhappy, after all, Cai Yue'er was in the wrong first, and almost made her turn away such a peerless genius.

If she were just an ordinary genius, that would be one thing, since Shrek Academy has plenty of them. But Fors is different. With her martial soul and talent, she could become another Sky-Supporting Douluo with just a little nurturing.

By then, with Yun Ming in the previous generation and Fors Wall in the next, how could Shrek not prosper!

Fors started walking, but halfway there she suddenly turned back and raised her pinky finger to the three examiners. She had originally intended to raise her middle finger, but felt it didn't suit her temperament, so she changed it to her pinky finger.

"Please tell that old hag for me that I think her ugly face is good enough to be Shrek Academy's eleventh test. As long as the examinee can stare at her face for one minute, they will pass. I've even thought of a name for the test: the Courage Test."

After all, her appearance perfectly fit Shrek Academy's definition—she looked like a monster. With that, she left without hesitation.

Chapter 141 Gu Yue: Oh no, I've been used as a substitute!

Because, just now, Fors seemed to be raising his pinky finger at them, but the direction he was actually facing was slightly off from their position, and was actually facing the side next to them.

That location happened to be where Cai Yue'er was hiding.

"Alright, stop hiding. Judging from that girl's attitude, she probably already noticed you. Otherwise, why would her attack just now have been more focused on your position and even included spatial elements to disrupt the surrounding space?"

It was Xu Miao who spoke, and it was he who blocked Fors's attack.

A flash of silver light appeared, and a figure appeared in front of Zhuo Shi. It was an old woman, none other than Silver Moon Douluo Cai Yue'er.

"Zhuoshi, what's wrong with you? Didn't I tell you to give that girl a nine out of ten and then assign her to the work-study program to train her? What do you mean by doing this?!" Cai Yue'er questioned.

"What do I mean? I'd like to ask you what you mean! What did that girl do to offend you? She's so talented, why did you give her a zero? You're not really jealous, are you?" Zhuo Shi said irritably.

"You're talking nonsense! I was just trying to toughen her up. That girl is so arrogant. If we don't temper her, who knows what kind of lawless behavior she'll become when she enters the academy. Toughening her up now won't do her any harm in the future," Cai Yue'er retorted angrily.

Zhuoshi: "You know that young lady is proud. Judging from her attitude just now, I'm sure that as soon as I put her on a work-study program, she would have left the very next day. Her temper is already a bit like mine back in the day."

Cai Yue'er immediately sensed something was wrong and hurriedly said, "Let me make this clear first, I took a liking to that girl first, so don't try to take her from me!"

Zhuoshi snorted, "You took a liking to her first? Given your current tense relationship with her, I don't think she'll ever become your disciple. You've brought this upon yourself, and you can't escape it!"

“Indeed.” Xu Miao nodded. “When I first saw that girl, I felt a sense of kinship with her. We are destined to be together.”

"You're talking nonsense!" Cai Yue'er roared. "Xu Sanshui, do you think I don't know what you're up to? If you dare to compete with me, believe me, I'll beat you so badly you can't take care of yourself right now."

"I don't believe it. If you have the guts, let's have a real fight today."

Cangjing Kong, standing to the side, was dumbfounded as she watched the scene unfold, which resembled a quarrel between middle-aged women at a market. Was this really an elder of the academy?

Seeing that Xu Lao and Cai Lao looked like they were really about to fight, Cang Jing Kong quickly took her leave.

……

Meanwhile, on Nan Fusheng's side, Tang Wulin had not yet broken through the seal, and it was clear that there was not enough time.

Fortunately, Shen Yi had Wu Changkong's junior sister with him, so they were able to take the make-up exam even though they were almost three hours late.

"Having connections makes all the difference," Nan Fusheng sighed. He never relied on connections, only on himself, so he despised such behavior. Well, that is, provided he wasn't the one benefiting.

Tang Wulin passed the first test directly due to his Golden Dragon King bloodline. Nan Fusheng and the others also achieved a score of eight.

Nan Fusheng passed the second and third rounds directly, earning eight auxiliary points and a perfect score of ten points respectively.

But the fourth round is different; it's still the same Mr. Cai, and the same familiar formula.
