Douluo Continent: Starting with the Tiger Emperor Template

Shrek Academy, freshman registration area.

It's enrollment season, and the new student teaching building is bustling with people.

The newly admitted students, who had just passed the assessment, lined up to complete their enrollment procedures.

The students in charge of registration sat behind a long table, checking information and distributing dormitory keys.

For third and fourth graders, this is an easy way to earn credits.

For the college, this is free labor, a win-win situation.

Lu Ren strolled into the teaching building with one hand in his pocket.

His black school uniform was particularly eye-catching, drawing the attention of the surrounding freshmen and lower-grade students who instinctively made way for him.

This is a sixth-grade senior, not someone to mess with.

Lu Ren didn't stand on ceremony and walked straight to the line of new students registering. He pretended to check the registration information, but his eyes were actually scanning the crowd.

Then he saw that person.

In the middle of the line, a strikingly handsome young man was waiting.

She had neat, light blue short hair, fair skin, and a pair of large, equally light blue eyes; her features were incredibly delicate.

He was dressed in a simple, close-fitting outfit, and although he tried to keep a straight face, his arrogance was impossible to hide.

Wang Dong.

Or rather, Wang Dong'er.

Lu Ren's lips curled up slightly.

It's better to come early than to come by coincidence.

……

"name?"

The senior student in charge of registration didn't even look up, his pen scribbling across the booklet.

"Wang Dong".

A clear voice rang out, and the senior student in charge of registration subconsciously looked up.

Then he froze.

This boy is so handsome!

Does this look like a boy?

He couldn't help but ask:

"Why do you, a boy, need to be so good-looking?"

Wang Dong frowned, his tone clearly showing impatience:

"This doesn't seem to have anything to do with the senior."

The senior student gave an embarrassed smile, looked down and flipped through the booklet, finding the corresponding key:

"This is the key to dormitory room 108."

Before he could finish speaking, a hand reached out from the side and snatched the key away.

The senior student was taken aback and looked up.

A boy in a black school uniform stood in front of the table, holding the key between his fingers and twirling it casually.

The face was very handsome, but its owner's eyes were exceptionally clear, and he was looking at him with a half-smile.

Black school uniform... is it for sixth graders?

Wang Dong was taken aback.

The student in charge of registration immediately stood up, his tone becoming more respectful:

"Senior, senior!"

Lu Ren ignored him and looked Wang Dong up and down.

"Hey junior," he said lazily, "Are you really that careless? Letting a girl into the boys' dorm?"

"I remember the girls' dorms are on the fourth floor and above in the freshman building, why did you put her on the first floor?"

The moment these words were spoken, the surroundings fell silent.

The color drained from Wang Dong's face at a visible speed, and a hint of panic flashed in her pinkish-blue eyes, but she quickly suppressed it.

How is that possible?

Were you seen through?

The senior student in charge of registration was also stunned, and stammered:

"Senior, but isn't he a boy...?"

Lu Ren rolled his eyes, his tone clearly showing disdain, and interrupted him:

"Please, do you have any common sense? You call yourself a student of Shrek Academy, and you don't even know the most basic knowledge about martial spirits?"

He pointed at Wang Dong, his voice not loud, but loud enough for those around him to hear:

"The Goddess of Light Butterfly Martial Soul has never been held by a male in the history of the continent."

"Your martial soul is named Goddess Butterfly, and you're telling me it's a martial soul that only men can have?"

The senior's mouth opened into an "O" shape.

Lu Ren continued his attack, simultaneously tearing away Wang Dong's disguise in front of everyone:

"And her soul power fluctuations, sense them yourself, they are delicate and gentle, without the hard trajectory unique to male soul masters, but instead carry the suppleness of female soul masters."

"If you still can't tell, you've forgotten everything you've learned over the years?"

The surrounding chatter gradually rose.

"So she's a woman? No wonder she's so beautiful..."

"Is the Morpho butterfly really exclusive to women? I think I've seen it mentioned in a book..."

Wang Dong's face flushed red, half from shame and half from anger.

She stared intently at Lu Ren, her voice trembling:

"You're talking nonsense! I'm clearly a man, what right do you have to slander me?"

"Stain?"

Lu Ren chuckled, his gaze deliberately falling on Wang Dong's tightly bound chest, his voice drawn out:

"You're making it way too obvious! Trying to look like a guy, you're squeezing yourself so tight you're practically flat. Aren't you tired?"

Wang Dong's body stiffened.

She instinctively wanted to cover her chest, but she held back, her hands gripping the hem of her clothes tightly until her knuckles turned white.

No one has ever dared to talk to her like that before!

She is the young sect leader of the Haotian Sect, doted on by her two great-grandfathers, and the entire Haotian Sect treats her as the apple of their eye.

This is the first time I've ever gone out, and the first time I've ever suffered such injustice...

The senior student in charge of registration was completely panicked, glancing between Wang Dong and Lu Ren:

"S-Senior, if this is true, it violates school rules! Enrolling with a false identity..."

"That's right." Lu Ren tossed the keys back onto the table, crossed his arms, and said, "Shrek School Rule Number One: No cheating allowed."

"Wang Dong, or rather, Wang Dong'er, wouldn't it be a shame if you received a disciplinary action or even expelled?"

Wang Dong'er bit her lower lip, her eyes slightly red, wondering to herself how he knew her name and true identity.

But her pride remained:

"You have no evidence! The fluctuations in my martial spirit and soul power alone are far from enough to prove I'm a woman!"

"Want evidence?" Lu Ren raised an eyebrow.

He took a step forward.

The distance between the two instantly shrank to less than half a meter.

Lu Ren leaned down slightly, close to Wang Dong'er's ear, and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"Should I verify your identity right now? Like, just tear off these clothes and let everyone see if you're a man or a woman?"

"I believe the masses have discerning eyes, which saves us a lot of trouble, don't you think?"

"Hey junior... no, junior girl, you didn't want things to escalate to this point, did you?"

Wang Dong'er's pupils suddenly contracted.

She abruptly took a step back, her pinkish-blue eyes filled with shame, anger, and murderous intent.

"You dare!"

"What's there to be afraid of?" Lu Ren straightened up, hands in his pockets, his tone returning to its casual tone. "I'm a sixth-year student, responsible for supervising the freshmen's enrollment. It's perfectly reasonable to verify the identities of students who seem suspicious, isn't it?"

"This is for Shrek Academy!"

Lu Ren feigned fervor on his face, but in reality, he was satisfied with his acting skills while also feeling somewhat nauseous.

But he turned to look at the senior student in charge of registration, his tone instantly turning cold:

"What are you waiting for? Quickly change her dorm key and report it to the academic affairs office so a teacher can handle it. Otherwise, if something really goes wrong, can you take responsibility?"

The senior student snapped to attention and nodded repeatedly:

"Yes, yes, yes! I'll change it right away!"

He frantically rummaged through the keys and pulled out a new one, handing it to Wang Dong:

"Wang, Wang Dong, this is the key to room 402 in the girls' dormitory. It's on the fourth floor."

He paused, then muttered to himself:

"Speaking of which, if something goes wrong with this whole thing, wouldn't I be in trouble too...?"

Wang Dong'er did not take the key.

She just stared intently at Lu Ren, her voice trembling slightly, yet still stubborn:

"What's your name? I'll remember you!"

Lu Ren smiled.

He met that gaze with a defiant look in his eyes:

"My name doesn't matter. What matters is..."

He leaned slightly forward, speaking slowly and deliberately:

"Don't try these little tricks at Shrek Academy anymore. If I find out you're pretending to be a boy again, it won't be as simple as just changing dorms."

Hearing this, Wang Dong'er became furious and shouted angrily:

"Stop talking nonsense! Say your name!"

"What can you do to me if I don't tell?" Lu Ren couldn't help but laugh out loud. Then, four spirit rings rose from beneath his feet, unleashing the spirit power fluctuations befitting a Soul Master. "Attack me? You think you can?"

Purple, purple, black, black!

Four-Ring Soul Sect!

Everyone gasped in astonishment upon seeing Lu Ren's spirit rings, which surpassed even the best spirit ring configuration.

Wang Dong'er was also very surprised to see this scene. After realizing that she was no match for him, she took a deep breath and stared at Lu Ren, as if she had memorized his appearance. Then, she held back her tears, snatched the key, and turned to walk out.

His back was ramrod straight, but it couldn't hide the hint of dishevelment.

The surrounding chatter gradually subsided, and the freshmen looked at Lu Ren with awe.

This sixth-grade senior is not only incredibly talented, but also has an amazing eye for talent!

The senior student in charge of registration also breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lu Ren gratefully:

"Thanks for reminding me, senior! That was really dangerous. If she had actually moved into the boys' dormitory, there would have been huge problems later!"

"It's nothing."

Lu Ren withdrew his soul power, waved his hand, and turned to leave, contentedly absorbing the negative energy, or curse power, generated by Wang Dong'er.

If I absorb a little more, I should be close to leveling up my soul power again.

As he walked out of the freshman teaching building, Lu Ren put his hands behind his head, unable to suppress the smile on his face.

Wang Dong'er's true gender was exposed by him in public, so she definitely can no longer approach Huo Yuhao as a good friend.

There was a difference in status between the two. One was the little princess of the Haotian Sect, and the other was a homeless orphan. Without the daily interaction of being roommates, what kind of interaction could they have?

The classic brotherhood and ambiguous relationship from the original work is completely gone.

Lu Ren was very much looking forward to seeing how the story would unfold at Shrek Academy.

What's even more anticipated is how Tang San, the Sea God in the God Realm, will react when he discovers that his daughter hasn't had any contact with Huo Yuhao.

Forced correction?

Or should we force our daughter to establish a connection with Huo Yuhao?

Lu Ren looked up at the sky; it was clear and cloudless, with nothing unusual about it.

But who knows.

"What a pity," he murmured, turning his gaze away. "I won't be able to witness what happens next; I don't have time to watch the show here."

Electrolux is now in our hands, and Shrek has laid the necessary traps.

Next, it's time to go to the Sun and Moon Empire.

……

Spirit world.

In a palace shrouded in mist, a blue-haired youth suddenly opened his eyes.

He frowned, his gaze seemingly piercing through the endless void, landing on some place in the lower realm.

"Strange, it feels like something has changed."

He muttered to himself, then began to calculate using hand gestures, his tone tinged with confusion.

What unexpected event occurred on Wu Tong's side?
