Chapter 79 The Academy That Only Accepts Monsters (Part Two)

As Xiao Wu watched the applicants ahead of her, she became excited and whispered in Tang San's ear, "This academy looks really interesting, especially that teacher's line about only accepting monsters and not ordinary people—that's so cool!" [I hope readers will remember our domain name here.]

Tang San smiled and said, "Now you won't doubt your teacher's advice, will you? This Shrek Academy is definitely not ordinary."

Since they had already reached the front of the line, they were naturally able to see Dai Mubai sitting behind the old man up close. Dai Mubai was not only responsible for maintaining order, but also for bringing the students who passed the preliminary test into the academy.

Dai Mubai finally saw Tang San and his companion. A slight smile appeared on his cold face as he nodded to them, then pointed to the old man, spreading his hands in a helpless gesture. He was clearly telling them that registration depended on their own efforts, and he couldn't help them.

Just as they were exchanging glances, a soft exclamation suddenly drew Tang San's attention back.

The elderly man in charge of registration looked surprised and uncertain. At that moment, a young girl stood in front of him, withdrawing her outstretched hand.

The girl was alone, without her parents. Her simple white dress gave her a clean and tidy appearance. She had neat, short hair and was about half a head shorter than Xiao Wu. Because her back was to Tang San and Xiao Wu, her face couldn't be seen, but from the skin on her neck, it was clear that the girl had very good, extremely fair and delicate skin.

"Excuse me, have I passed the preliminary test?" The girl's voice was soft and pleasant, lacking some of her heroic spirit, but it sounded so gentle that it gave people a soft feeling.

Tang San could tell from the way Dai Mubai looked at the girl that she must be very beautiful, because the light in Dai Mubai's evil eyes was no longer cold, but like that of a wolf. Of course, it was the kind of wolf with ulterior motives.

The old man's surprise gradually faded, and he frowned, asking, "Do your family know you're here?"

The girl didn't answer his question directly, but smiled and said, "They say education should be for all, so as long as I meet the academy's requirements, you have no reason not to accept me, right?"

The old man seemed to hesitate for a moment before waving his hand at Dai Mubai and saying, "Take her inside."

The wolfish glint in Dai Mubai's eyes vanished quickly, replaced by his cold expression, as he led the girl into the academy.

The remaining students quickly passed the old man's first test, and it was finally Tang San and Xiao Wu's turn. At this time, Dai Mubai had returned to the old man's side after seeing off several other applicants.

Tang San suddenly noticed that Dai Mubai's gaze had changed, staring intently at the direction behind him, as if he had seen something incredible.

Tang San subconsciously turned around to look. Although he didn't lose his composure like Dai Mubai, he was still secretly shocked.

Behind him and Xiao Wu, there was only one other applicant, who seemed to have just arrived. She was also a girl, and she looked a little younger than him and Xiao Wu. Her long black hair was draped over her shoulders, and her face was slightly lowered. She was about the same height as the girl in the white dress from before, and her skin was also similarly fair. However, this girl gave off a different feeling.

Contrary to her fiery figure, the girl's expression was cold, a coldness that came from within, a pure coldness, her dark eyes devoid of even a trace of life. This clashed somewhat with her otherwise extremely beautiful face.

With slender, well-proportioned limbs and hands hanging naturally at his sides, the deathly coldness emanating from him was hard to bear.

"Are you going to register or not? If you're not going to register, don't block the way." The old man's voice pulled Tang San back to reality. Tang San felt a sharp pain in his hand and turned around to see Xiao Wu glaring at him fiercely.

"Let's sign up together." Tang San, enduring the pain in his hand, placed the twenty gold soul coins he had prepared into the wooden box. He and Xiao Wu then stretched out their hands.

The old man first squeezed Xiao Wu's hand, nodded, and said, "Your age is suitable." When his hand moved to Tang San's hand, the previous soft exclamation couldn't help but reappear.

The old man, seemingly unconvinced, squeezed Tang San's hand a few more times, his expression turning strange. He looked up at Tang San and asked, "Have you been practicing some kind of soul skill on your hand?"

The reason he squeezed the applicants' hands was to determine their true age by examining the bones in their hands, something that couldn't be faked. However, Tang San's hands felt extremely supple, yet he couldn't discern the condition of the bones.

Tang San's heart skipped a beat, and he nodded, saying, "Yes."

The old man frowned and lifted your calf up.

Tang San did as instructed, lifting his calf and placing it on the table. The old man pinched his calf a few times through his pants, and Tang San immediately felt a tingling and numb sensation.

The old man nodded to him and said, "Good muscle development. Suitable bone age. Alright, release your martial spirits now."

Tang San and Xiao Wu exchanged a glance and simultaneously activated their soul power.

Blue and red light rose up simultaneously, and the century-old soul rings spiraled upwards at the same time.

Rabbit ears sprouted, and fluffy white fur appeared on Xiao Wu's hands, making her body appear even more slender. She was now imbued with the Martial Soul Jade Rabbit.

The most ordinary Blue Silver Grass grew in Tang San's palm, and with the injection of the Soul Ring effect, it quickly transformed into the same grass vines that he had seen during his battle with Dai Mubai that day.

The old man glanced at Xiao Wu casually before his gaze fell on Tang San. "It's actually Blue Silver Grass. Can Blue Silver Grass be cultivated this quickly?"

Tang San smiled slightly and said, "Teacher, don't you only accept monsters here? Would you consider me a monster?"
