Early in the morning, the first rays of sunlight shone through the window lattice onto the dormitory floor, and Huo Yuhao woke up early.
After a night of cultivation, coupled with the immense efficacy brought by the black steamed bun from last night, he felt that his current mental state was extraordinarily good, and it felt as if he had inexhaustible energy throughout his body.
Putting on that well-crafted school uniform, Huo Yuhao straightened his collar in the mirror and took a deep breath.
"Come on, Huo Yuhao!" He silently cheered himself on in his heart.
With a mix of excitement and trepidation, Huo Yuhao followed the instructions in the freshman guidebook and headed towards the teaching building.
It was said that the number of freshmen in this batch was small, so all freshmen were gathered in one large classroom for classes.
Teacher Shen Yi brought back 156 students from the Star Dou Great Forest this time, but in the end, only 23 passed the assessment.
This ratio could be considered somewhat low at other schools, but compared to the Shrek Academy in Shrek City, this admission rate was quite high; after all, these people were not qualified to join that Shrek Academy.
As for why there were so few, it wasn't that Lin Feng wanted it that way, it was just... he valued character and morality more.
He absolutely did not want to raise a bunch of ingrates, nor did he want to cultivate another teammate like Xuan Zi, who, apart from eating and causing trouble, would only drop the ball at critical moments.
Therefore, during the entrance assessment, those students who were crooked, bullied the weak, or had no bottom line were ruthlessly eliminated by Lin Feng, no matter how high their talent was.
If they couldn't even pass such a basic moral assessment, then naturally they had no qualifications to become a member of this academy.
The twenty-three who were able to remain were all kind-hearted, at the very least. As for talent... that didn't matter at all here.
.....
When Huo Yuhao pushed open the spacious classroom door, a few people were already sitting inside, scattered about.
The classroom was very large, arranged in a tiered layout, and could accommodate hundreds of people, but it appeared somewhat empty at the moment.
As soon as Huo Yuhao entered the door, a gentle voice rang out.
"Hiya classmate, Good morning!"
Huo Yuhao looked towards the source of the voice and saw a tall, handsome youth looking at him with a smile. His large eyes were sparkling with a sincere light, giving people a very sunny feeling.
"Morning... morning." Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment and quickly responded.
The youth took the initiative to walk over, extended his hand, and said generously:
"My name is Tang Wulin, I just enrolled yesterday. We are classmates from now on, please take care of me."
Looking at the other person's unpretentious smile, the nervousness in Huo Yuhao's heart instantly dissipated quite a bit.
He also extended his hand and shook hands with Tang Wulin.
"My name is Huo Yuhao, I also just arrived yesterday."
Tang Wulin grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.
"Right, this is Xie Xie." Tang Wulin pointed to a youth behind him.
That youth had his hands in his pockets, a cool expression on his face, and nodded at Huo Yuhao.
"Hello."
Immediately after, Tang Wulin enthusiastically introduced the others to Huo Yuhao.
Xu Xiaoyan, Yang Nianxia, Wei Xiaofeng, Wu Sidao, Luo Guixing.
After a simple exchange, Huo Yuhao found that these people were actually quite nice, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
As time passed, the remaining students arrived at the classroom one after another.
Just then, the classroom entrance suddenly went quiet.
A beautiful figure walked in.
It was a young girl wearing a school uniform, possessing a quite exquisite face.
Most eye-catching was that long powder-blue hair, which draped softly over her shoulders, shimmering with a charming luster under the morning light, and a pair of large powder-blue eyes that sparkled with brilliance. It was Wang Donger.
Because her identity had already been exposed, she openly showed off her long hair.
"Wow... what a beautiful girl..."
Even Huo Yuhao couldn't help but take a few extra glances, feeling that this girl had a very special aura about her.
Wang Donger walked into the classroom, her gaze sweeping over everyone, seemingly looking for a seat.
Suddenly, her gaze fixed on Tang Wulin. In that instant, Wang Donger's eyes fluctuated slightly, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity surged into her heart.
"Strange..." Wang Donger frowned slightly, thinking to herself.
"Why does seeing this guy give me such a warm feeling?"
However, she didn't think too much about it and went straight to find a seat by the window to sit down.
"Da da da —" Just then, a crisp sound of footsteps came from the corridor.
The classroom, which had been a bit noisy, instantly became silent.
Everyone straightened their backs subconsciously and looked towards the door.
Two figures walked in, one after the other.
Walking in front was a woman wearing a dark green dress; her appearance was beautiful and gentle, and her face carried a smile that felt like a spring breeze. It was Teacher Shen Yi who was responsible for receiving them yesterday.
And following behind her was a man dressed in white.
That man had a tall, straight figure, and his face was as handsome as a sculpture, but his temperament was as cold as frost, as if he were a moving iceberg. As soon as he entered the door, the temperature of the entire classroom seemed to drop by a few degrees. It was Wu Changkong.
"Wow!"
"Is... is this our teacher?"
"Teacher Shen Yi is so beautiful! That male teacher is also so handsome!" Xiao Xiao exclaimed.
"Is this the teaching staff of Shrek Academy? The looks are too high-level!" The students below couldn't help but whisper, their eyes sparkling with stars.
Huo Yuhao also nodded in deep agreement. This academy not only had luxurious facilities and heaven-defying benefits, but even the teachers' looks were at the ceiling level.
And Wang Donger, sitting by the window, also let out a long sigh of relief when she saw Teacher Shen Yi walk in; her originally tense nerves finally relaxed.
"Phew..."
"It's good that it's Teacher Shen Yi..." Yesterday, Da Ming and Er Ming had repeatedly warned her, saying that Cai Yue'er was extremely petty and vindictive.
If she fell into her hands, she would definitely be given a hard time and who knows how she would be tortured. Now it seemed her luck was not too bad.
On the podium, Teacher Shen Yi scanned the 32 students present with a gentle gaze, and the smile on her face became even brighter.
"Hello everyone, welcome to Shrek Academy."
"I am your homeroom teacher, Teacher Shen Yi." Teacher Shen Yi's voice was crisp and pleasant, very nice to hear.
"Since you are able to sit here, it means you have all been recognized by the academy."
"In the coming days, I, together with Teacher Wu Changkong behind me, will be responsible for your teaching and cultivation."
Speaking of this, Teacher Shen Yi paused slightly, and the aura on her body began to circulate slowly.
"I am a Seven-Ring Soul Sage."
As soon as she finished speaking, light burst forth from Teacher Shen Yi's body. A bright green Mimosa Spirit slowly emerged behind her, swaying gracefully.
Immediately following, seven spirit rings appeared in sequence. Purple, purple, purple, black, black, black, red!
A Seven-Ring Soul Sage! A Seven-Ring Soul Sage with a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring!
"Boom —"
The entire classroom instantly exploded into chaos.
"Am I seeing things? Is that red one?"
"A hundred-thousand-year spirit ring?! Teacher Shen Yi actually has a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring?!"
"And the first three are all thousand-year? This... is this a configuration that a human can achieve?"
Huo Yuhao was also quite shocked, but... after seeing Lin Feng's nine hundred-thousand-year spirit rings, the degree of shock was not that high.
Facing the students' shocked gazes, Teacher Shen Yi just smiled faintly, seemingly having anticipated this reaction long ago.
Actually, although her original spirit ring configuration was excellent, it definitely could not reach this heaven-defying level. Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black was her original configuration.
However, last night, Lin Feng had let her and Wu Changkong go to the Spirit Ascension Platform together, and also provided them with resources to improve their physical fitness and mental force, directly giving them a configuration of three purples, three blacks, and one red!
As long as there were enough resources, none of this was a problem!
