Chapter 418 We don't accept trash, we only accept monsters?
The little incident before the Oscars roasting car is over.
Dai Mubai led everyone to the place where the fourth test would be conducted.
On the way, Dai Mubai inevitably explained to everyone the strict admission requirements of Shrek Academy, as well as the content of the four-stage assessment, and then introduced Shrek Academy's philosophy of "not accepting trash, only monsters".
This recruitment concept left everyone speechless.
Tang San, however, highly praised it.
After all, as proud as he was, he believed himself to be different from others, the kind of monster Shrek Academy needed.
In an instant, Tang San felt a surge of goodwill and wholeheartedly agreed with Shrek Academy's admission philosophy.
Faced with everyone's questions about the academy's student body, Dai Mubai excitedly recounted Shrek Academy's glorious history from its founding to the present:
"In twenty years, Shrek Academy only admitted forty-two students, but only fourteen of them actually graduated."
"The remaining twenty-eight people who failed to graduate did not meet Shrek Academy's graduation requirements—either by cultivating to the Soul Master realm of level forty or above before the age of twenty, or by dying accidentally while hunting soul beasts."
"And those fourteen who successfully graduated all became world-renowned figures after leaving Shrek Academy. The most outstanding one of them even became the youngest elder of the Spirit Hall, whose authority was second only to the Pope."
These words left Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong speechless with amazement, clearly astonished by the glorious history of Shrek Academy.
Zhu Zhuqing was also somewhat moved, but she couldn't help but have some doubts. Could Shrek Academy, which was so dilapidated, really be that strong? How could it produce so many important figures? It even produced an elder of the Spirit Hall? Was it really true?
Brother Ye is right here. He's the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, so he definitely knows whether this is true or not. Hmm, we'll just ask him.
With a slight thought, Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes immediately turned to Ye Qifeng, and soon she saw a grinning expression on Ye Qifeng's handsome face.
Zhu Zhuqing immediately realized, oh, it seems to be fake.
Immediately afterwards, a mocking smile appeared on her lips as she coldly watched Dai Mubai perform in front of her.
Seeing that Dai Mubai's expression was becoming increasingly agitated, Ye Qifeng suddenly spoke, saying something calmly:
"As far as I know, the Spirit Hall does not have any elders who came from Shrek Academy."
Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai suddenly turned around:
"What did you say?"
His face visibly contorted with anger.
Just as he was getting into the swing of things and his emotions were running high, he was abruptly interrupted by a single sentence, and that person was none other than Ye Qifeng, whom he hated the most and wanted to beat up the most.
It was impossible for Dai Mubai not to be angry.
No matter how angry Ren Dai Mubai looked, Ye Qifeng ignored him and continued speaking to himself:
"As far as I know, there is a strict requirement to become an elder of the Spirit Hall, which is that one's cultivation level must reach at least the Title Douluo level."
After saying this, Ye Qifeng slightly turned his gaze to Dai Mubai:
"So, the so-called youngest elder of the Spirit Hall that you mentioned should be a Title Douluo?"
"We don't know this person's name or title. Why don't we tell everyone?"
How would I know? The dean never said that. Also, do you have to be a Title Douluo to be an elder of the Spirit Hall? I didn't know that. Dai Mubai's expression froze instantly, and he was speechless for a moment.
He didn't actually know the senior's name; he had only heard Dean Flander mention that Shrek Academy had such an accomplished student.
Furthermore, he didn't actually know much about the Spirit Hall.
Although he was the third prince of the Star Luo Empire, he had long since fled Star Luo City and come to the Heaven Dou Empire.
He was only nine years old at the time and was not qualified to access more classified information, so he did not know that the elders of the Spirit Hall had to be titled Douluo.
"It seems you didn't know either."
Seeing Dai Mubai's frozen expression, Ye Qifeng smiled slightly and said calmly:
"To be honest, your statement doesn't hold up to scrutiny."
"You just said that since the founding of Shrek Academy, fourteen people have successfully graduated, and that so-called youngest elder of the Spirit Hall is one of them."
"But Shrek Academy's admission requirements are that it only accepts students under the age of thirteen, and Shrek Academy has only been established for about twenty years."
"In other words, that student, in terms of age, is no more than thirty-three years old now. Well, let's just say he's thirty-three."
"A Title Douluo at thirty-three years old, do you believe it?"
At this point, Ye Qifeng looked up at Dai Mubai, waiting for his answer.
"Oh, this."
Dai Mubai was speechless.
How is he supposed to explain this? Shrek Academy produced a 33-year-old Title Douluo? Obviously impossible.
Seeing that Dai Mubai couldn't give a clear answer either, Ye Qifeng shook his head slightly:
"As we all know, the youngest Title Douluo currently known in the Douluo Continent is the infamous Haotian Douluo Tang Hao, but he only officially entered the Title Douluo realm at the age of forty-four."
"To date, I have never heard of anyone achieving the Title Douluo realm before the age of thirty-three."
"Or is it that the student from Shrek Academy possesses such terrifying talent that even the Haotian Douluo cannot compare to him?"
"But why is it that such a young Title Douluo has never been heard of on the continent? Don't you find that strange?"
"So, are you sure those words were said by your dean himself?"
After saying that, Ye Qifeng looked at Dai Mubai again, and even Tang San and the others next to him looked at him.
"Of course it was our dean who said it, how could it be false?"
Dai Mubai wasn't sure if what Flander said was true or false, but he was clearly unconvinced and therefore acted very tough.
"Oh"
Ye Qifeng let out a long "oh," a hint of mockery on his face:
"Then I have to suspect that he is engaging in false advertising."
"This is an abuse of the Spirit Hall's reputation, using the Spirit Hall's name to embellish Shrek Academy's achievements and boost its prestige."
"Do you think the Spirit Hall would do something if they found out about this? What would become of Shrek Academy?"
Dai Mubai immediately fell silent.
If what Dean Flander said is false, and Shrek Academy has indeed never produced such an outstanding student, then it does indeed seem like an attempt to tarnish the reputation of the Spirit Hall.
If the Spirit Hall finds out, given their domineering nature, they will definitely not let Shrek Academy off easily.
Shrek Academy might even be destroyed as a result.
Moreover, every single teacher and student at Shrek Academy is bound to be affected, including himself.
Thinking of this, Dai Mubai's face turned pale. If that were the case, he would have to seriously consider whether he should leave Shrek Academy and sever ties with it.
Dai Mubai immediately had the idea of escaping.
At this moment, Xiao Wu, the mischievous rabbit who had been eavesdropping on Ye Qifeng and Dai Mubai's conversation, couldn't help but ask Ning Rongrong a question:
"Rongrong, is it really necessary to be a Title Douluo to be an elder of the Spirit Hall?"
Ning Rongrong was silent for a moment, then nodded gently:
"That's possible."
"The Spirit Hall is different from other spirit master forces on the continent. It is a pure spirit master organization that governs the order of the spirit master world and is the law enforcer of the spirit master world."
"Moreover, the Spirit Hall is the strongest in the Douluo Continent, because nearly 70% of the Spirit Masters on the entire continent are loyal to it. It is no exaggeration to call it a behemoth."
"Therefore, it is not impossible for the elders of the Spirit Hall to be titled Douluo, after all, there are many talented people and the competition is fierce."
Is the Spirit Hall really that powerful? Xiao Wu's eyes widened in shock at the thought of her mother's death. A flicker of fear, along with a deep-seated hatred, shone through her pink eyes.
She hurriedly asked:
"Do you know exactly how many Title Douluos the Spirit Hall has?"
Ning Rongrong shook her head:
"I don't know about that."
"However, I once heard my father say that the Spirit Hall's strength is unfathomable, and the number of Title Douluos is definitely no less than five."
No fewer than five. Xiao Wu's eyes were somewhat gloomy, as if she was beginning to doubt whether she could still avenge her mother.
Ning Rongrong didn't notice Xiao Wu's unusual behavior. Suddenly remembering something, she quickly said:
"Oh, right, besides the official elders, there is another type of elder in the Spirit Hall called honorary elders."
"The title of Honorary Elder does not belong to the Spirit Hall. It is a title awarded by the Spirit Hall to Spirit Masters of other Spirit Master factions. It is also a kind of honorary title."
"My father, for example, was an honorary elder of the Spirit Hall."
Hearing this, Tang San finally spoke:
"So that means that one doesn't actually need to be a Title Douluo to serve as an elder of the Spirit Hall?"
"Then the most outstanding student of Shrek Academy and the youngest elder of the Spirit Hall that Mu Bai just mentioned should be an honorary elder, right?"
Tang San disliked Ye Qifeng very much, and even wished he could kill him.
Hearing Ye Qifeng's rebuttal and mockery of Dai Mubai, Tang San, who already regarded Dai Mubai as a "brother," naturally couldn't stand it anymore.
Therefore, he avoided the main issue and directly attributed the title of elder to the honorary elder of the Spirit Hall.
Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai immediately felt that it made sense, and his mood brightened. He no longer doubted what Dean Flander had said, and instead glared at Ye Qifeng provocatively.
Ning Rongrong's beautiful eyes flickered slightly. Actually, there was one thing she hadn't made clear, and that was—
The title of Honorary Elder of the Spirit Hall is not something that ordinary people can obtain. Only those who are Title Douluo, sect leaders, or spirit masters who have made significant contributions to the spirit master world are qualified to receive it.
The so-called most outstanding student from Shrek Academy is clearly not one of these three, so how could he possibly be an honorary elder of the Spirit Hall? Otherwise, how could he be unknown to the public?
Ning Rongrong knew perfectly well what was going on.
Seeing that Dai Mubai and even Xiao Wu seemed to have believed Tang San's words, she stopped explaining to avoid upsetting the three of them.
After all, she's a good girl now, and she has to maintain her image; she can't be unsociable.
Ye Qifeng and Zhu Zhuqing also heard Tang San's words.
Zhu Zhuqing remained indifferent, not uttering a single word, but the mockery in her eyes only intensified.
Ye Qifeng remained noncommittal and did not want to say anything more.
Some people just like to deceive themselves. No matter what others say, it's useless. They simply won't listen because they only believe that they are right.
…………
Not long after.
Ye Qifeng, Zhu Zhuqing, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong followed Dai Mubai to another open space.
The open space is only about 200 square meters, much smaller than the previous one, less than half the size.
At this moment, a middle-aged man, who was about fifty years old, was dozing off in an ordinary wooden chair.
The middle-aged man had a rugged face and an ordinary appearance. He was not tall, only about 1.6 meters. In the Douluo Continent, where the average height of men is far over 1.7 meters, this height is considered very short.
However, he was extremely strong and muscular, with shoulders as broad as a wall, and muscles all over his body that were bulging and powerful, as if cast in steel, giving people a fierce and oppressive feeling.
Ye Qifeng glanced at the middle-aged man and instantly knew his identity.
This person was none other than the infamous troublemaker known as the "Immovable King," a figure once renowned throughout the soul master world, and now a teacher at Shrek Academy—
Zao Wou-Ki.
Zhao Wuji had a rugged appearance, and at first glance, he seemed to be the kind of person who was honest and simple.
But if you really think that way, you're sorely mistaken.
In fact, Zhao Wuji was ruthless and belligerent by nature, and liked to cause trouble. He was notorious when he traveled and roamed the world of Soul Masters.
He once injured Titan's younger brother, the patriarch of the Power Clan, and was therefore hunted down by the extremely protective Titan.
Later, he committed crimes and disrupted the order of the Soul Master world. He was blacklisted by the Spirit Hall and wanted by the authorities. He managed to escape from the siege of sixteen bishops of the Spirit Hall and then disappeared without a trace.
It is for this reason.
With nowhere to go, Zhao Wuji later co-founded Shrek Academy with Flander, hiding in the academy and rarely venturing out, disappearing from the continent for a full ten years.
…………
"Teacher Zhao, I've brought my team here for the fourth round of assessment."
Upon arriving before Zhao Wuji, Dai Mubai, whose body was wrapped in bandages, immediately spoke respectfully.
Dai Mubai, who had been studying at Shrek Academy for several years, had already experienced Zhao Wuji's ferocity firsthand, so he dared not be the slightest bit rude, lest he be beaten up by Zhao Wuji for no reason.
"Hmm? Finally, there's a fourth round of assessments this year?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji slowly opened his sleepy eyes and looked at the five young men and women in front of him. His expression was clearly one of surprise, as if he had seen something unbelievable.
"There are still five."
Suddenly, he paused, pointed at Ye Qifeng, and asked with a slightly surprised expression:
"Huh? How come there's someone that old, and still just an ordinary person?"
