Xu Zihuang walked southward along Shrek City from outside the east gate of Shrek City, and stopped at the edge of a forest about half a quarter of an hour later.
Shrek City is located in the central and southern part of Douluo Continent, with a warm climate. Although the trees are not as tall as those in the south of the Sun and Moon Empire, their average height exceeds thirty meters. In addition, few people pass here, and the growth of this forest is
Excellent, the lush foliage blocks out a large area of sunlight.
Xu Zihuang walked slowly towards the depths of the woods for nearly a hundred meters, and then turned around calmly.
As if in response to his cold gaze, a dignified old man in black clothes appeared out of thin air.
It was Wang Yao who left Yueshu Island for Dragon City in the Northern Territory of Tianhun Empire half a year ago.
"Young Master, have you obtained the third soul ring?" Wang Yao was surprised to feel the fluctuations of soul power in Xu Zihuang's body. Having advanced to the title Douluo level, it was not difficult for him to see Xu Zihuang's true cultivation level.
Xu Zihuang nodded calmly.
"It's just a coincidence. I happened to fuse a suitable soul ring on my way to Shrek Academy."
Wang Yao knew Xu Zihuang's character very well, so he didn't ask any more questions and took out a letter from the soul guide.
The words "Dragon City" are embossed on the top of the letterhead with gold foil.
"Young Master, this is a letter of recommendation handwritten by the Lord of Dragon City. Everything about your life experience is the same as what was discussed before. However, Young Master, your uncle hopes that you can go to Tianlongmen in the future, and he wants to meet you in person.
"
"Let's talk about this later." Xu Zihuang frowned inexplicably, and then took the recommendation letter from Wang Yao.
"Mr. Wang, there are many powerful people in Shrek Academy. In order to prevent you from being spied on, I will just stay here alone. When you return to Yueshu Island, you can start to recruit the new members of the Emperor Dragon Soul Instructor Group.
But for the time being, don’t change the situation in Yuenan Islands and draw attention to it.”
"Yes, young master."
"Mr. Wang, please take care of yourself along the way." After saying that, Xu Zihuang walked out of the woods.
The leaves rustled as the breeze blew. When the wind stopped, the trees were still, as if no one had ever stayed.
After leaving this forest, we were not far from the south gate of Shrek City.
If it were in the past, the South City Gate with the largest flow of people would definitely be busier than the East City Gate where Shrek Academy is located. However, because Shrek Academy has been recruiting new students in recent days, the South City Gate is much cooler in comparison.
The entrance fee to the city is one Gintama Coin. Although the price is not high, if accumulated, it is an astonishing number. One-tenth of Shrek City's annual tax revenue comes from this.
The area entering from the south city gate is the most prosperous commercial district of Shrek City. There are many shops selling special products from various empires. The size and resident population of Shrek City may not be comparable to
It is the capital of every major empire in the world, but it is definitely the center of the continent.
Xu Zihuang randomly asked a shop to help process the fur of the Flame Lion King, while he himself found a clean hotel to rest.
He crossed the sea from Yueshu Island to the Star Luo Empire, then passed through the entire Star Luo Empire from south to north, and finally arrived at Shrek City from the Star Dou Forest. This journey took nearly two months.
Although he had no physical problems, he was inevitably feeling tired mentally.
For three days in a row, he wandered around Shrek City during the day, purchasing some supplies needed to study in Shrek Academy. At night, he didn't even practice soul power, forcing himself to sleep to replenish his energy.
But this only lasted three days, and he continued to practice as usual for a period of time after that. After officially advancing to Soul Master, he also began to try to inscribe the fourth-level core magic circle.
The inscription of the fourth-level core array is much more complicated than that of the third-level core array. Even though his talent in making soul tools is amazing, ten days are still too hasty.
Of course it didn't succeed.
As for soul power cultivation, he finally realized how difficult it was for a soul master with the ultimate martial soul to cultivate.
After the soul power reaches level 30, because the quality of the soul power of a soul master with the ultimate martial soul is far superior to that of an ordinary soul master, the process of condensing the soul power so that his body can withstand this ultimate attribute is inevitable.
His cultivation speed has obviously slowed down a lot compared to before. If he practiced normally, it would take at least three years to reach the next bottleneck of level 40.
But thanks to the silver-scaled white whale giving him the ability to gather the energy of heaven and earth, he was able to shorten this process to less than two years.
…
The sky in the distance had just turned a fish belly white, and Xu Zihuang, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, opened his shining eyes on time.
The golden light of soul power shimmering on the surface of the body is introverted, and there seems to be a magical power in every move that dazzles the mind.
"Today is the last day for Shrek College to recruit new students." Xu Zihuang came to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the rising golden-red sun, murmuring to himself.
After briefly freshening up, he had breakfast in the hotel lobby, then checked out and walked towards the east gate where Shrek Academy is located.
The environment and service of this hotel are very good, but it costs ten gold soul coins to stay for one day. After these ten days of accommodation, plus the daily food expenses, the original one thousand gold soul coins in his hand are now only
There are less than eight hundred left.
But he didn't care much. He was born in the royal family of the Sun and Moon Empire. He still had a pattern. To him, money was just a number. With his strength, it was not difficult to get money in Shrek Academy.
.The worst that can happen is to go to the Soul Fighting Zone to challenge the senior students.
Half an hour later, Xu Zihuang walked around from the south of Shrek City to the east gate.
At this time, there were many fewer vendors gathered nearby than before.
Xu Zihuang bypassed the crowd from the side and arrived outside the East City Gate.
At the east city gate, there were more than a dozen young men and women who were a few years older than him guarding the gate. Each of them was wearing a yellow uniform with a green badge on the chest. This is the school uniform of the second and third-year students of the Shrek Academy's outer campus.
.
But the most eye-catching thing was the two people standing in front of them.
The colors of the standard school uniforms worn by these two people are the same as the others, one is purple and the other is black.
Xu Zihuang had heard from Beibei before that purple was the uniform for fourth and fifth grade students, while black was the uniform for sixth grade students.
Wearing a purple school uniform is a girl who looks to be only fourteen or five years old. She has a slender and well-proportioned figure. Her long golden hair is spread in big waves on the back of her head. Her skin is as good as snow, and her eyes are like a pool of clear water. She looks around.
, has its own elegant and noble temperament.
The other person was a boy who was about the same age as the girl. He was tall, with thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, a straight nose and a square mouth, and he had a dignified appearance. However, his flattering appearance in front of the girl made him look like a living licking dog.
"Nan Nan, would you like to go have lunch together later?"
"No need." The girl's expression was very cold, and she didn't even look at the boy beside her.
Xu Zihuang raised his eyebrows strangely. From the conversation between the two, he had already guessed their identities.
Aren't they the same Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan in the original work?
Noticing Xu Zihuang who was getting closer, everyone subconsciously turned their attention to Xu Zihuang. Even Jiang Nannan couldn't help but take a second look when she saw Xu Zihuang's extraordinary temperament.
"Sister, are the new students taking the test here?" Xu Zihuang met Jiang Nannan's gaze with a gentle smile.
Jiang Nannan, who had previously been indifferent to Xu Sanshi, had a much kinder attitude towards Xu Zihuang.
"Are you a new student? You need to register here and pass the soul power test."
It has always been the practice of Shrek College for old students to be responsible for recruiting new students, and the college will also give these old students some financial subsidies. Jiang Nannan was born as a commoner, and because of the fifth-grade entrance examination, he only had time to recruit new students in the past few days.
work.
But he didn't expect that Xu Sanshi would stick to her like a dog-skin plaster, making her feel even more upset.
Xu Zihuang was about to take the form handed over by Jiang Nannan when Xu Sanshi suddenly blocked in front of Jiang Nannan in advance and looked at Xu Zihuang warily.
"Junior brother, I will be responsible for your registration. My name is Xu Sanshi."
Xu Zihuang's top-notch looks put a lot of pressure on him. In his opinion, in the outer courtyard of Shrek Academy, Beibei, who has the most outstanding appearance, is probably more than inferior to the junior student in front of him.
He also knew that Jiang Nannan was not the kind of person to judge people by their appearance, but what if something happened? He had to kill this sign.
Jiang Nannan frowned, but didn't say much.
Even if Xu Sanshi receives her, she will be taken to the college to report and register later, so she won't have to worry about her here.
"I don't care." Xu Zihuang shrugged, registered his information, and then poured his soul power into a blue crystal ball.
Once you prove that your soul power exceeds level 15, the test will be considered completed.
Xu Sanshi led Xu Zihuang towards the Shrek Academy, and at the same time he did not forget to turn back and wave to Jiang Nannan.
"Nan Nan, I'll be back soon."
One can't help but marvel at how thick-skinned he is.
Shrek Academy has a beautiful environment with rich and lush vegetation. Walking on the wide avenue, no matter which direction you look, you can see at least ten kinds of plants. These plants are obviously carefully pruned.
Walking forward two hundred meters, several huge statues in front blocked the view. There were ten statues in total, all ten meters high, and they were carved from the hardest granite.
These are the golden iron triangle that founded Shrek Academy ten thousand years ago and the first generation of Shrek's Seven Monsters.
Xu Zihuang only glanced briefly and then withdrew his gaze.
And Xu Sanshi also wanted to end the mission quickly and return to Jiang Nannan, and of course he had no time to explain to Xu Zihuang.
Heading left from the statue, the road is still wide enough to accommodate four or five carriages traveling side by side. There is a sign on the roadside with the words "Lakeside Trail" written on it.
Through the shady green trees on the right, you can faintly see a wide expanse of water. In other words, behind these ten statues, there is a huge lake.
Walking on the lakeside path, Xu Zihuang, who was thinking about Xu Sanshi's future deeds, suddenly said: "Senior Brother Xu, do you like the senior sister just now? I think you two are a good match."
The licking dog licks tirelessly and finally hugs the beautiful woman. It is really classic.
Hearing Xu Zihuang's words, Xu Sanshi, who was walking in front, couldn't help but look back. He didn't understand the meaning of Xu Zihuang's words, grinned, and patted Xu Zihuang's shoulder affectionately.
Xu Zihuang's words really touched his inner thoughts.
"Little brother, I didn't expect that you are quite discerning. If you have any trouble at Shrek Academy in the future, just call me Xu Sanshi's name and I will protect you."
"Then thank you, Senior Brother Xu." Xu Zihuang chuckled, feeling that the future Xu Sanshi was too humble, so he couldn't help but remind him.
"But Senior Brother Xu, it is destined to be difficult to get rewards for such blind efforts."
The more you give, the more you care. When you give more to someone, the more you will like him/her. Most of the time, what you care about is actually the time and energy you give. The more you give, the more reluctant you are to give up.
Xu Sanshi walked into such a dead end. His love for Jiang Nannan may not be that deep.
Regarding Xu Zihuang's advice, Xu Sanshi smiled bitterly and sighed.
"You do not understand."
When Xu Zihuang saw this, he understood and said nothing more, feeling secretly worried in his heart.
Indeed, no one knows how to be a licker better than you.

No one understands short, weak and spicy things better than me. I am afraid that the contract status cannot be changed until the Shanghai epidemic is over. After all, the contract cannot be delivered. All I can say is to keep updating once a day, and wait until the contract status is changed. The rest of the time can be used to come up with ideas.
This is an entire original novel, and using love to generate electricity is really not very motivational.
