Huo Yuhao pressed his face against the car window, watching the clouds rushing past outside, and asked a question in a low voice.
"Where is Shrek Academy...?"
The car was flying at an astonishing speed.
Huo Yuhao felt as if he had only blinked once, and the buildings and forests below rushed past him at high speed.
He had never experienced such speed in his life.
Normally, Beibei and Tangya would have proudly told him.
Shrek Academy is located in Shrek City, one of the most prosperous places on the continent.
But now.....
They were sitting in Ye Xinglan's car, and judging from the direction of their flight, they were clearly heading higher into the sky, not on the way to Shrek City at all.
Therefore, both of them remained silent and did not speak.
Even Tang Ya, unusually, became well-behaved, simply holding Bei Bei's hand tightly.
Xu Lizhi took the last bite of the bun and mumbled something indistinctly.
"We're almost there, just ahead."
Upon hearing Xu Lizhi's words, Huo Yuhao quickly turned his gaze back to the front.
The next moment.
His eyes widened suddenly, and his pupils contracted sharply.
"This...this is..."
Beibei and Tangya were completely stunned, their mouths slightly open, unable to close them for a long time.
Above the clouds in front of them, there was an enormous academy floating!
That's not just a simple building, but a true city in the sky!
The massive metal base gleamed coldly in the sunlight, and towering skyscrapers full of science fiction elements rose from the ground, while various strange flying machines shuttled between the buildings.
At the very center of the academy, there seemed to be some kind of energy shield, keeping the raging winds out.
"How can there be such a huge academy? And it's in the air..."
Beibei muttered to herself, feeling her worldview crumbling.
Even the legendary realm of gods is nothing more than this, right?
Xu Lizhi noticed their shock and explained with a smile.
"This college cannot be seen from the ground."
"Because the bottom of this academy is made of a special optical camouflage material that can perfectly refract light, so from below you can only see blue sky and white clouds."
"Only by flying to this altitude and having a specific identification signal can one see the true face of this school."
Xu Lizhi paused at this point.
"Moreover, this place is several thousand meters high. Even a typical Title Douluo wouldn't fly this high, no matter how they fly."
Huo Yuhao was completely confused; he didn't understand anything about optical camouflage or identification signals.
But he knew one thing.
That's amazing! Absolutely amazing!
"that..."
Huo Yuhao cautiously pointed to the car beneath him.
"How does this soul tool work? I didn't sense any soul power fluctuations."
Xu Lizhi glanced at the center console Ye Xinglan was operating and said casually.
"It is powered by electricity, which is also a special type of energy."
"electricity?"
Huo Yuhao became even more curious and pressed for answers like a curious child.
"What if there's no electricity? Will we fall down?"
Xu Lizhi laughed and waved his hand.
"Don't worry, even if the power goes out, this car has a backup gliding system and anti-gravity device, so it will land safely on the ground."
That's quite amazing.
All three of them couldn't help but think so.
This technology is simply unheard of.
Soon, the car passed through the energy shield and landed smoothly in a wide square.
The car door opened, and the three of them stepped out, their legs feeling a little weak.
Upon entering, the three saw a huge statue standing in the center of the square.
It was a statue of a young man.
He was dressed in a smart outfit, with a handsome face, deep eyes, and a faint smile on his lips, making him look very dashing.
Beibei and Tangya stared at that face for a long time, and finally had to admit a fact.
I don't know them at all.
It is neither any of the original Shrek Seven Devils, nor any famous Title Douluo in history.
Beibei looked around again.
The self-cleaning floor, the floating streetlights, and the metal instruments whose purpose is unclear.
They all look very high-tech.
In comparison, his own Shrek Academy seemed to be ten thousand years behind the Shrek Academy in front of him.
Who is this?
Tang Ya couldn't help but ask.
Xu Lizhi pointed to the statue, his tone filled with reverence.
"This is the first dean of our Shrek Academy, and also our principal."
Just then.
A gentle voice suddenly came from not far away.
"Lizhi, Xinglan, you're back?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and was immediately shocked.
Because the young man who was slowly walking over looked exactly like the sculpture in the center of the square!
Even the smile at the corner of their mouths is exactly the same.
He looked to be no more than twenty years old, and there was no fluctuation of soul power on his body, just like an ordinary person.
But are there really ordinary people in this place?
"Dean!"
Xu Lizhi and Ye Xinglan bowed simultaneously.
Xu Lizhi strode forward, pointed to the three people behind him, and explained their purpose.
Ye Xinglan then coldly added insult to injury.
"These two people are impersonating Shrek Academy students to swindle and deceive."
Beibei and Tangya's expressions instantly turned somewhat awkward.
Xu Lizhi quickly tried to smooth things over and explained.
"Sister Xinglan, don't say that. I don't think they are bad people. They probably admire Shrek Academy so much that they want to join us, so they said that."
Beibei coughed lightly, stepped forward, and gave a respectful bow.
"Greetings, Dean."
"My name is Beibei, and I also come from Shrek Academy, though it seems we share the same name."
"We mean no harm. We are simply amazed by the strength of your academy and would like to visit Shrek Academy, the institution that produced these two individuals."
Beibei is quite sensible.
Lin Feng smiled slightly and glanced at the three of them.
Finally, his gaze lingered on Huo Yuhao for a moment, a barely perceptible glint of light flashing in his eyes.
"welcome."
"Since you're planning to visit, why don't you take a look at the school's entrance exam?"
Lin Feng's voice was like a gentle spring breeze.
"Who knows, after reading this, you might even want to enroll in Shrek Academy?"
Entrance exam?
Beibei and Tangya's eyes lit up.
They wanted to see what was really going on with this so-called "real Shrek"!
The three of them immediately nodded in agreement.
Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi exchanged a glance. Since the dean had said so, they naturally had no objections.
"Dean, we still have training duties to complete, so we'll be leaving now."
After Ye Xinglan finished speaking, she bowed to Lin Feng and turned to leave.
Xu Lizhi waved and ran after him.
Lin Feng led the three of them across the square and into a magnificent hall.
The main hall was very spacious and had no superfluous decorations.
Only on the wall directly opposite, there was a huge painting hanging.
The painting depicts a dragon.
A giant dragon, its entire body gleaming gold, exuding majesty, seemingly about to burst forth from the paper!
Even just a painting, the overwhelming aura it exudes can send shivers down your spine.
Lin Feng stopped and turned around to look at the three of them.
"Shrek Academy's entrance exam consists of ten stages."
"The first test is a soul power test, but you don't need to take that test."
"This is the second level."
Lin Feng pointed to the painting.
"It's mainly a test of willpower."
"Next, you need to look at this painting. The longer you can hold your gaze, the better your results will be."
That's it?
Beibei and Tangya were somewhat puzzled.
Looking at the painting?
This is way too easy!
Beibei confidently raised her head and looked at the painting.
However.
The moment his gaze fell upon the eyes of the dragon in the painting.
"boom--"
Beibei felt a loud bang in his mind, as if a terrifying dragon's roar exploded directly in the depths of his soul.
That's more than just a painting.
It looked as if a living, super-powerful soul beast was looking down at an ant!
"Well!"
Beibei trembled violently, and her face turned deathly pale instantly.
His legs went weak, his knees buckled, and he almost collapsed to his knees.
How is that possible?!
He possesses a top-tier beast spirit, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex!
The highest-ranking among dragon-type martial souls!
But why... why is the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul within him trembling in front of this scene?
Fear? So much so that they don't even dare to entertain the thought of resistance?
It's terrifying that a single painting could give me such a strong sense of oppression!
Is there really anyone who can withstand this so-called second hurdle?
What exactly is Shrek Academy?
The entrance exam was even more difficult than their Shrek Academy?
This kind of willpower test that directly challenges the soul... is this the real Monster Academy?
This is only the second stage. If they intend to enter this academy, are they really qualified?
Beibei and Tangya were terrified, their backs instantly soaked with cold sweat.
Huo Yuhao also felt the terrifying pressure from the soul level, his face turned pale, and he clenched his teeth tightly.
With a wave of his hand, the oppressive aura emanating from the three men vanished instantly.
Just then... a series of crisp system notification sounds suddenly rang in Lin Feng's mind.
