Douluo Continent: With my extraordinary comprehension, I want to be a salted fish.

Chapter 67 This young lady doesn't want to be so high-profile, okay!

After riding their horses for a while, Xin Ya and Ning Rongrong saw a small village about a mile ahead.

The village has about a hundred households, and a wooden fence surrounds the village, seemingly for protection against wild animals.

The two saw that a large number of people had gathered at the village entrance and were queuing up to register.

Most of those people were teenagers of similar age to them, and they were usually accompanied by their parents.

At this moment, Ning Rongrong saw Tang San and Xiao Wu standing in the queue.

Ning Rongrong said to Xin Ya, "So these two are here to register too. No wonder you said they couldn't run away!"

Xin Ya smiled.

As the two approached, they saw a table at the entrance of the village, with an elderly man in his sixties sitting behind it.

Next to the old man was an archway made of wood.

Above the archway hangs a somewhat tattered plaque with five characters engraved on it: Shrek Academy.

Looking at Shrek Academy's facade, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but complain, "No way, Shrek Academy is this bad? If I had known it was this bad, I wouldn't have come."

She looked at Xin Ya and said, "Yesterday you said that the shop owner is the dean of this academy."

"With such a terrible academy, no wonder the dean's eyes lit up when he saw your thousand gold soul coins. He's probably never seen that much money before!"

Xin Ya laughed and said, "You're exaggerating. That dean is over fifty years old. He can't have never seen a thousand gold soul coins before. His eyes are just shining because he's greedy."

"But I don't think there's anything wrong with being greedy. After all, who doesn't like money? I personally like it quite a bit."

For the young girl, cultivating and improving her soul power wasn't difficult, but being a penniless nobody was much harder!

Her mind asked the system, "System, can you become a super-rich system?"

【system:……】

The system ignored her wild ideas and banished her consciousness from its mind.

After hearing her greedy remarks, Ning Rongrong glanced at her and said, "You don't just like money, you practically love it. You'd rather sell your soul bone to exchange for gold soul coins."

Xin Ya thought, what's a soul bone? As long as she completes the Asura God Trial, she can easily obtain a 100,000-year-old soul bone, and it will be a high-quality one at that!

She looked at Miss Ning and smiled slyly, "Yes, a soul bone is nothing to me, so if I ever run out of money, I might sell you too."

"The young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School should be worth some money, right?"

Upon hearing Xin Ya's words, Miss Ning's eyes widened instantly, and she said tremblingly, "If you sell me, my father, Grandpa Sword, and Grandpa Bone will not let you off the hook."

Xin Ya chuckled, "Your dad thinks you're too noisy at home, and your Grandpa Sword even wants to take me as his apprentice. Maybe he'll sell you and I can inherit your family business!"

After saying that, she smiled, dismounted, and with a wave of her hand, sent the mare, Ada, back into her system space.

Miss Ning was completely stunned by what Xin Ya had just said!

She remained seated on horseback.

Waaah...

What a sarcastic person!

When Xin Ya looked up and saw Ning Rongrong looking silly after she teased her, she suddenly realized that what she had just said was so much like Guang Ling's words!

The girl sighed inwardly. She had spent some time with that arrogant and eccentric guy and had even picked up his habit of teasing people.

It's true what they say: you become like those you associate with!

Xin Ya pulled Ning Rongrong off the horse, tied the reins, and walked towards the line of people queuing to register.

The two walked to the back of the line.

Ning Rongrong looked around and suddenly saw a very hot girl in front of her.

She couldn't help but tug at Xin Ya and whispered, "Xiao Ya, look at that girl over there. She's about our age, but her figure is amazing! So curvy... I'm so envious!"

Xin Ya looked in the direction of Miss Ning and saw someone she recognized. The girl with the hot figure was Zhu Zhuqing, who possessed the Netherworld Cat Martial Soul.

Seeing her up close, she does indeed have a great figure, and her all-black outfit—black clothes, black pants, and black shoes—gives her an even more aloof and cool vibe!

Xin Ya nodded in agreement, "Yes, she does have a great figure!"

Ning Rongrong glanced at her sideways. "Don't be envious. You're just as good as anyone else. It's just that the girl there is the aloof type, while you are the cute type." "Sigh~ I'm the younger one. I feel like even that scorpion braid from yesterday was bigger than me."

Xin Ya couldn't help but laugh. "So Miss Ning has her troubles too!"

Ning Rongrong said, "Of course I do. After all, I'm a girl too, how could I not worry about this?"

Xin Ya laughed again.

Suddenly she looked around, because she noticed that gaze fixed on her again!

The little girl wondered, "Whose gaze is this?"

They had been followed ever since they left the south gate. They thought the gaze would stop once they arrived here, but it turned out that it had come back to them!

Just then, the two heard arguing ahead, seemingly about the registration fee.

At that moment, a person jumped down from the wooden archway.

This person was none other than Dai Mubai. He said coldly, "If you want a refund for the name fee, fine. If you can beat me, I'll return it all."

As soon as he finished speaking, he activated his soul power and released his three soul rings, two yellow and one purple.

The surging soul power generated an invisible pressure, which struck the group of people who demanded a refund of their registration fees.

Immediately, the faces of the people who demanded a refund of their registration fees changed drastically. They left after saying, "Consider us unlucky!"

Ning Rongrong saw Dai Mubai and scoffed, "He acts like he's so great, but he still lost to our Xiaoya yesterday."

Xin Ya smiled but didn't say anything.

After the brief incident, the number of people waiting in line immediately decreased by a third.

Since the registration fee is non-refundable, nobody wants to waste their money. Besides, Shrek Academy is really dilapidated and not exactly flattering!

After those unwilling to waste money left, registration continued.

However, an argument soon broke out again, and the old man in charge of admissions shook his head and said, "You are not qualified, you can leave."

Why?

The child's mother asked in bewilderment, "My son is a top student in the junior academy. Didn't you see that his spirit ring is a hundred years old? There aren't many spirit masters with hundred-year spirit rings."

The old man said calmly, "It's certainly good if his first spirit ring is a hundred years old, but he's just an ordinary person."

The child's father frowned and said, "I don't understand what you mean."

The elderly man recruiting students stood up, walked around the table, and said, "You should understand the rules before you come to Shrek Academy to enroll. If you come to enroll without understanding them, you will only waste your enrollment fee."

"We at Shrek Academy only accept monsters, not ordinary people! So, if you're over thirteen or your soul power isn't at least level twenty-one, don't waste your time here!"

At this point, some people in the team began to have doubts.

"How is that possible? Someone under thirteen years old can be above level twenty-one? I don't believe it!"

Others joined in the shouting.

Amidst the doubts, Dai Mubai spotted Xin Ya and Ning Rongrong in the queue.

He strode towards the two of them. "You've come at the perfect time!"

Before Xin Ya could react, Dai Mubai pulled her out of the group.

He addressed the skeptics, saying, "You don't believe me? Come on, let me show you what a monster really is!"

After saying that, he said to Xin Ya, "Little sister, release your martial spirit."

Uh… this…

Xin Ya internally roared: "Go to hell with Dai Mubai's legs! I don't want to be so high-profile, okay?!"
