In Douluo Continent, Tang San raids my base right from the start.

Chapter 459 Where does this confidence come from?

Not long after, Zhu Wu and Ning Rongrong checked out of the hotel after breakfast and set off for Shrek Academy in the south of the city.

Because we left quite late and weren't in a hurry, the village entrance was already crowded with people when we arrived.

Tang San and Xiao Wu were already in line.

"Is this the academy?" Ning Rongrong was quite surprised as she looked at the dilapidated gate in front of her and the dilapidated buildings behind her.

"Didn't you see it says Shrek Academy on it?" Zhu Wu said casually.

"Let's see how it goes; perhaps it has some unique abilities."

Ning Rongrong nodded slightly, said nothing more, and followed the teacher to the back of the line.

At the front of the line was a giant with a youthful face, dressed in a leather jacket—it was Zhu Zhuqing, exactly like the Zhu Zhuqing from the main world. Zhu Wu glanced around and saw that, apart from Ning Rongrong, who only resembled her by six points but still had a sweet appearance, everyone else was exactly the same as the one from the main world.

The entire scene was a perfect recreation.

Then he came face to face with Dai Mubai, but Dai Mubai wasn't looking at him, but at Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.

"Rongrong, look at that blond boy over there, what do you think?" she whispered.

Ning Rongrong turned her gaze, her brows furrowing instantly. She let out a cold snort, "Hmph, you big pervert!"

Having cultivated the Longevity Technique for many years, her spiritual power was already extraordinary. She had also cultivated the Purple Demon Eye, giving her amazing eyesight. Naturally, she could see clearly the expression on Dai Mubai's face and the part of his gaze that he was looking at. He was looking at her face, but he was looking at the girl in front of him from the neck down.

Coupled with that aggressive look in his eyes, he was clearly thinking of something bad.

Ning Rongrong's voice wasn't loud, but she didn't try to hide it, and it immediately spread throughout the room, drawing everyone's attention.

Dai Mubai's expression froze for a moment, then he immediately looked away and turned his head back to his usual cold demeanor, as if he hadn't been told anything.

At the same time, the coldness in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, who was standing in front of Ning Rongrong, intensified.

"Mu Bai, someone wants a refund of their registration fee. Can you handle this?" A calm, aged voice suddenly came from inside the room.

Dai Mubai immediately perked up, strode forward, and said coldly, "If you want the registration fee, beat me up, and I'll refund it all!"

As he spoke, he released his own spirit ring.

The parent's expression immediately changed, and he muttered, "I guess I'm just unlucky," before pulling his child away.

When the crowd realized that the registration fee was non-refundable, many people immediately pulled their children away, about a third of them.

"This guy is actually a student at the academy?" Ning Rongrong frowned.

"Keep reading," Zhu Wu said calmly.

Within sight, Dai Mubai stepped back, and another child stepped forward.

The old man reached out and touched his wrist, saying calmly, "You're not qualified. You can leave now."

"How could this be?" The parent standing in front of the table was stiff. The mother asked instinctively, "My son is an outstanding student at the Junior Soul Master Academy. Didn't you see the hundred-year soul ring under his feet? There aren't many soul masters with hundred-year soul rings!"

The old man said calmly, "That's right, he does possess the number one spirit ring in a century, but he's still just an ordinary person."

"I don't understand what you mean." The boy's father frowned, but his tone remained polite.

The old man, however, seemed somewhat impatient. He stood up, glanced at everyone present, and said indifferently, "Before you come to register at Shrek Academy, you should first understand the rules. Otherwise, you're just here to waste your registration fees."

Then, he began to explain the meaning of the name Shrek and the admission standards.

While the old man was speaking, Zhu Wu transmitted his voice to Ning Rongrong.

"Rongrong, did you hear the difference between the two? The boy's parents were very polite, always using the honorific 'you' in their conversation. But the old man spoke very indifferently, even showing impatience. Do you think this is how a person with good upbringing should behave?"

"Even your father speaks politely to ordinary Soul Masters. Why do you think that is?"

Ning Rongrong pondered for a moment, then replied using the secret method passed down by Zhu Wu.

"Firstly, it's to set an example for us younger members of the clan, to be humble and courteous."

"Secondly, it is to demonstrate to the outside world the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's philosophy of inclusiveness and treating everyone equally. My father once said that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School was able to develop in its early years, attract a large number of Soul Masters to join and remain united, precisely because of this tolerant heart."

"Furthermore, teacher, you once told me that fortunes change every thirty years, and one should never underestimate a young person's potential. A person's future is full of uncertainty. Even the most talented Soul Master may encounter an opportunity and eventually grow stronger."

Her teacher was the best example. With a silkworm martial soul and an innate soul power of 0.5, she had become a powerful god. When she first heard her teacher tell this story, she was shocked, and from then on, she always regarded her teacher as her role model.

Her starting point was much higher than her teacher's back then. Her teacher also gave her the immortal herbs and cultivation techniques. If her teacher could do it, why couldn't she?

"Therefore, unless the other party provokes you, you should avoid offending people to prevent making enemies for no reason." Ning Rongrong continued, "And this old man, by belittling and belittling the young man in public, is bound to incur the young man's resentment, which is already an act of making an enemy."

"Good." Zhu Wu nodded. "Rongrong, I am very pleased that you understand this. Please remember to take this as a warning in the future."

"Yes, teacher," Ning Rongrong replied respectfully.

Zhu Wu then said, "Rongrong, take another look around. Are there any signs around the Shrek Academy gate displaying the admission rules the old man mentioned? Also, when you heard about Shrek Academy before, did you hear about any admission rules?"

Ning Rongrong immediately turned and scanned her surroundings, then her face darkened with displeasure. "Teacher, could this be a fraudulent academy?"

There are no notices posted at the entrance, nor are they posted publicly. How are outsiders supposed to know the rules here?

After all the money was paid, you suddenly said there were rules. Isn't that just forced buying and selling to swindle money? Even though you were the first one to suffer a loss, you still wasted time, didn't you?

If you post it, everyone else will have already left. Why waste your time waiting here?

"Let's observe for now," Zhu Wu said calmly. "Remember, when you're traveling in the future, you must be observant and empathetic. Only in this way can you see what others can't see, learn what others can't learn, and always stay one step ahead."

"Cultivating this habit early on will also help your future spiritual practice."

"Many of my unique skills were learned through observing all things in the world and observing others in battle. In addition, it is beneficial to gather information about the opponent's abilities before the battle and to observe the opponent's subtle movements during the battle."

"When your observation skills are honed to a high level, you can even anticipate your enemy's moves."

"Teacher, I understand." Ning Rongrong nodded.

She had witnessed Chen Jianjun's battles against their teacher at the sect, and how each of his attacks was easily neutralized by the teacher, as if the teacher knew in advance. She never imagined that this ability was something he had developed through careful observation and practice.

The teacher is amazing; they even thought of such a detail!

Then, a powerful aura suddenly emanated from the old man, and six soul rings appeared beneath his feet.

One white, one yellow, three purple, and one black.

"???" Ning Rongrong was stunned for a moment, then remained silent.

No, your first spirit ring is a ten-year spirit ring, and your fifth spirit ring is a thousand-year spirit ring. Where do you get the confidence to look down on others whose first spirit ring is a hundred-year level?

You're no more than 12 years old and your soul power is at least level 21. I bet you didn't even meet that standard when you were young.

With this kind of soul ring configuration, he must have come from a commoner background.

Having achieved success in his own cultivation, he looked down on commoner soul masters whose first soul rings were of a higher age than his own.

Thinking back to the blond man who had first leered at her and then stood up to intimidate her, she realized he was actually a student at this academy, and a strong sense of repulsion rose in her heart.

I don't want to join this academy anymore!

However, as his eyes darted around, a certain thought involuntarily arose in his mind.
