12: Chapter 12 Shrek Academy

Early the next morning, Bai Qi and Xiao Wu prepared to head to Shrek.

Walking through a country lane, they saw the plaque for Shrek Academy.

At this moment, there wasn't a long line at the entrance of Shrek Academy, but there were still quite a few people waiting.

Bai Qi and Xiao Wu followed the crowd and stood at the end of the line.

As soon as they stood in line, Xiao Wu complained to Bai Qi.

"Xiao Qi, do you think it's too late for us to leave now?"

Hearing this, Bai Qi looked over at Li Yusong, who was sitting at the admissions desk at the entrance. Standing beside Li Yusong was Flender, who had just brought Ma Hongjun back. As for how he knew he had just brought Ma Hongjun back...

...he could tell just by looking at the red-haired little Fatty standing next to him.

Because he was looking around with a curious expression.

At that moment, Flender was quietly watching Bai Qi and Xiao Wu.

After withdrawing his gaze, Bai Qi said to Xiao Wu.

"I think we might not be able to leave anymore."

Xiao Wu said in surprise.

"Huh? Why? Seriously, if I had known, I wouldn't have come."

Bai Qi gave a reluctant smile and ruffled the hair of Xiao Wu, who was pouting.

Hearing this, Flender's mouth twitched. He thought to himself.

"Xiaogang, oh Xiaogang, you really have sent me two true Little freaks."

It was obvious that Flender had roughly gauged their levels.

Not long after, the people in line had all been processed, and it was finally Bai Qi and Xiao Wu's turn.

When Bai Qi and Xiao Wu walked up, Ma Hongjun stared at Xiao Wu with a lecherous look.

Upon seeing Ma Hongjun's gaze, Bai Qi immediately stepped forward, blocked Xiao Wu, and stared quietly at Ma Hongjun.

Ma Hongjun felt a chill run down the back of his neck from Bai Qi's gaze, shrank his neck, and hid behind Flender.

Seeing Ma Hongjun hide, Bai Qi withdrew his gaze and said to Li Yusong.

"Hello, Teacher. We are here to enroll."

Li Yusong looked at the two and asked.

"First, pay twenty gold coins. Which one of you is going first?"

Bai Qi placed the twenty gold coins on the table and said to Li Yusong.

"I'll go first."

Li Yusong said.

"Alright, give me your hand."

As soon as Li Yusong finished speaking, Bai Qi reached out his hand. Xiao Wu followed suit, stretching out her hand, but she didn't put it in front of Bai Qi's.

"Hmm, the bone age is suitable. Come, young lady, stretch yours forward. Hmm, your bone age is one year too old."

After measuring Bai Qi's bone age, Li Yusong measured Xiao Wu's and spoke, then looked at Flender, waiting for him to speak.

"Ah? Then what should we do?"

Xiao Wu pulled her hand back, panicked.

Bai Qi immediately took Xiao Wu's hand and looked at Flender. Xiao Wu followed Bai Qi's gaze and looked over as well.

"Er."

Being stared at by the three, Flender's mouth twitched again, and then he feigned deep thought.

"It's fine. It's not like this academy hasn't accepted thirteen-year-old students before, but..."

Speaking up to here, Flender revealed a profiteer-like smile—though he was indeed a profiteer—and rubbed his thumb against his index and middle fingers, saying to Bai Qi.

"Ahem, you need this, you understand, right?"

Seeing this, Bai Qi rolled his eyes, took a card out of his spirit tool, and handed it to Flender.

"Here."

Watching the card Bai Qi took out, Flender's eyes turned into the shape of money. He quickly grabbed it and said.

"That's enough, that's enough. Come in with me; I'll take you to the final test."

Xiao Wu, who was already pouting because her bone age didn't pass and she had to pay money to attend, exclaimed when she heard there was still a test.

"Ah? There's still a test?"

After getting the money, Flender said seriously.

"Of course, there must be a test. However, since you were recommended by Great Master, logically you could enter directly. As for the money and the test..."

Hearing that they could enter directly, Xiao Wu shouted at Flender.

"We could enter directly? Then why did you still take our money?"

"The money is for food expenses. Besides, I know you are very rich and don't mind this little bit, otherwise I wouldn't maliciously collect money from students."

After speaking, he added.

"As for the test, it's just a formality to test where your limits lie. Hurry up, there are two more students waiting inside."

Hearing Flender's explanation, Xiao Wu had nothing more to say and pouted, saying.

"Oh."

Beside her, Bai Qi ruffled Xiao Wu's hair and comforted her.

"It's fine, Xiao Wu. That card only had ten thousand gold coins; it's not much."

Xiao Wu said, "Mm-hmm."

Flender, who was leading the way, felt his mouth twitch for the third time after hearing what Bai Qi said. Ten thousand gold coins—not much?

Arriving at a place in the academy that could be considered a plaza, they saw three people already standing in the middle.

Flender shouted at the person in the middle.

"Old Zhao, I've brought the people."

Zhao Wuji said with a bit of excitement.

"Whoa, quite a few Little freaks have come this year."

Flender brought them over and then said.

"Go easy on them, Old Zhao. These children are all here to enroll. Just let them know where their current limits are."

Zhao Wuji waved his hand dismissively.

"Yeah, yeah, I know, I know. You hurry up and leave."

Flender sighed and said.

"Alright, I'll be going first. I'll leave the rest to you."

After speaking to Zhao Wuji, he said to Bai Qi and the others.

"Little freaks, good luck. Mubai, you've been at the school the longest, so you introduce them to Zhao Wuji."

After being called by Flender, Dai Mubai finally withdrew his gaze from Xiao Wu and replied.

"Alright, Dean."

After Flender left, he said to the others.

"Follow me over here."

After getting to the other side, Dai Mubai said to everyone.

"Teacher Zhao, whose real name is Zhao Wuji, has the Vigorous Vajra Bear as his Spirit. He excels in attack and defense; as for his weakness, it would be speed."

After speaking, he added with regret.

"However, this weakness is practically non-existent given the vast difference in levels."

After speaking, he said to Xiao Wu.

"You are called Xiao Wu, right? When we fight, stay close to me; I will protect you."

Oscar, who was on the side, thought to himself after hearing this.

"It's over. The academy finally got a girl, and she's been targeted by Boss Dai again."

Before Xiao Wu could speak, Bai Qi let out a cold snort and interjected.

"Hmph, not necessary. Me protecting Xiao Wu is enough."

After Bai Qi finished speaking, Xiao Wu also nodded in agreement.

Dai Mubai said disdainfully.

"I am already level thirty. What level are you? Xiao Wu following me is enough."

As he said this, he reached out his hand toward Xiao Wu.

However, his wrist was grabbed by Bai Qi, who then activated his Spirit.

"Ah."

After Dai Mubai let out a pained scream, he also activated his Spirit. A dragon and a tiger stood in confrontation just like that.

But one could tell from the cold sweat on Dai Mubai's forehead that his Evil Eyes White Tiger Spirit was being suppressed.

One must know that even when facing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit, his Evil Eyes White Tiger would not be suppressed.

Dai Mubai widened his eyes in disbelief, looking at Bai Qi.

"You..."

Before Dai Mubai could finish his sentence.

A roar interrupted Dai Mubai's words.
