104: Mountain of Beasts, Monster Academy!
Chapter 104: Wan Shou Mountain, Monster Academy!
Moreover, when establishing an Academy, the Empire at the very least requires it to be somewhat presentable; things like the Academy gate, student dormitories, and training grounds are all officially mandatory.
As long as the conditions are more or less met, they won't bother you; basic requirements are sufficient.
So, Ye Wen didn't plan to just throw together some wooden houses to get by. He intended to build it a bit better, at the very least, making it comfortable to stay and live in, with all the necessary facilities.
"Let's go in."
"Mm."
After the four of them passed through the Academy gate, Ye Wen already saw a construction team of over a hundred people actively building the Academy.
Xiao Bai, Snow Empress, Ice Empress, A Tai, Ice Bear King, Da Ming, Er Ming, and Naer had all arrived, either directing the construction team or helping out themselves.
Soon, Xiao Bai spotted Ye Wen and the others: "Boss! Boss is back!!!"
Everyone immediately put down what they were doing and collectively came before Ye Wen.
"You're finally back."
"Heh heh, let me introduce our new members. Xiao Wu, you all already know her." Ye Wen pointed to Xiao Wu, then introduced Zhu Zhuqing: "This person! Her name is Zhu Zhuqing."
When he said the word "person," Ye Wen deliberately emphasized it.
Among them, a few clever ones seemed to have guessed something.
"Hello, Xiao Wu. Hello, Zhu Zhuqing."
Everyone began introducing themselves and getting acquainted. Soon, everyone became familiar with each other's names.
Zhu Zhuqing was extremely surprised. The girls in this Academy were all incredibly beautiful!
Zhu Zhuqing was already one of the top beauties in the Star Luo Empire, but here, she felt that none of these women were any less attractive than her.
"Zhuqing, are you really only 12 years old? Your figure is too good!"
"Do you have any secrets?"
"I'm so envious!"
Zhu Zhuqing was surrounded by Snow Empress, Ice Empress, and Xiao Bai, chatting and asking questions.
Da Ming and Er Ming, on the other hand, excitedly approached Xiao Wu: "Xiao Wu!"
"You... you are Da Ming and Er Ming!?" Xiao Wu was also a little excited and disbelieving.
Before coming, Ye Wen had actually told Xiao Wu that Da Ming and Er Ming were now under him, but Xiao Wu didn't know that Da Ming and Er Ming could transform, nor did she know that Ye Wen and these people were all Spirit Beasts who had transformed.
Ye Wen hadn't told her yet, and of course, Xiao Wu had all sorts of guesses and doubts in her heart.
"It's us! Xiao Wu!"
Da Ming and Er Ming told Xiao Wu something that only the three of them knew, and Xiao Wu finally believed them.
"What exactly is going on, Da Ming, Er Ming?" Xiao Wu now had many points of confusion.
The three Spirit Beasts from the Star Dou Great Forest, reunited, seemed to have an endless amount of things to say.
"Alright, don't ask anymore. I will tell you everything later." Ye Wen interrupted Xiao Wu's questions, then said: "Now, everyone gather."
"Okay."
Everyone assembled.
"I'll explain: we are establishing this Academy for the Soul Master Competition, and our goal is to win the championship and the three ten-thousand-year Spirit Bones that come with it."
"As for the students of our Academy, it will be us. It's highly unlikely that any other students will join later."
"Understood." Everyone nodded.
Then, Ye Wen asked: "Xiao Bai, have the Academy procedures been completed?"
"Boss, that was done a long time ago, about four or five days ago." Xiao Bai replied.
"Oh? That was quite efficient."
Xiao Bai smiled faintly: "Heh heh, just give them some money, and those people become much more efficient."
"Is that so, Xiao Bai? Among us, you understand people the best." Ye Wen smiled and asked the next question: "Then, how long until our Academy is completed?"
"Boss, if we build according to the conditions you specified, it should be completed within two months." Xiao Bai replied.
"Two months, that's acceptable, not too long." Ye Wen nodded and instructed: "Have the construction team finish the dormitory building first, so we can move in and rest earlier."
"Okay, I understand."
Snow Empress then asked: "Ye Wen, since it's an Academy, it needs a name, right? What do you plan to name our Academy?"
"Good question." Ye Wen replied. He had actually thought of the name a long time ago. He said: "This mountain will be named Wan Shou Mountain!"
"As for our Academy, it will be called Monster Academy."
"Monster Academy? Boss, that sounds good! It really suits us!" Evil Tiger said with a wicked smile.
"Not bad, I like it too." A Tai said.
Aside from the female Spirit Beasts like Ice Empress, Snow Empress, Xiao Bai, and Naer, the other male Spirit Beasts all liked the Academy's name.
Because they themselves were transformed Spirit Beasts, they were a type of 'monster' and 'beast'.
When they transformed into human form, as humans, the talents they possessed, in the eyes of all human Spirit Masters, truly made them seem like genuine 'monsters' or 'freaks'.
Compared to Ye Wen's group, what kind of 'monsters' could the Shrek Academy, known as the 'Monster Academy', truly be called?
"Monster Academy? Every one of them is younger than me, but their Soul Power levels are all above mine. A group of people like this gathered together can indeed be called monsters, freaks!" Zhu Zhuqing thought to herself.
To be honest, when Ye Wen invited her, Zhu Zhuqing had thought this: He probably saw that her talent was good, that she was a genius. After all, at 12 years old and level 29, she was already one of the top performers in the entire Star Luo Empire.
So it was normal for Zhu Zhuqing to think this way, but after coming here, she discovered that the students here were all several times more talented than her, with higher levels, and most importantly, every single one of them was younger than her!
Such a group of terrifying geniuses gathered together utterly shocked Zhu Zhuqing's understanding of this Spirit Master World.
She had actually become the oldest, the weakest, and the one with the most mediocre talent!
"Now that the Academy's name has been decided, even though the Academy is still under construction, training cannot be neglected. However, there's no need to be overly diligent. We'll start formal training and intensive training after the Academy construction is completed in two months!"
"Received!"
"Yes!"
"Understood!"
Everyone responded one after another.
"Everyone, disperse. Go do what you need to do."
Soon, everyone dispersed.
Ye Wen found Da Ming and Er Ming alone: "You two tell Xiao Wu everything about us."
"Okay, Boss."
Subsequently, Da Ming and Er Ming told Xiao Wu their identity as Spirit Beasts.
Xiao Wu was extremely shocked after learning this. She had felt many points of confusion before, and now she finally understood.
