Ling Bai's expression froze at these words.
Senior Female Classmate...
Quite lively.
"Senior Female Fellow Disciple."
It's just a title; girls, it's best to go along with them.
Ling Bai whispered to himself.
"Mm-hmm."
Han Ruoru nodded in satisfaction. She and Zhang Lexuan had once represented Shrek Academy in the Continent-Wide Advanced Soul Master Academy Duel Tournament and won the championship. The two became the best of friends and confidants during that time.
Last night, Zhang Lexuan told her that a new eleven-year-old Junior Brother had joined the Inner Academy and asked her to help guide him for a day. Han Ruoru agreed without hesitation.
"Junior Brother, why didn't you come back to stay after sparring with Little Peach?" Han Ruoru asked with a smile.
"Hmm?"
Ling Bai raised an eyebrow. Something was off, extremely off!
"Senior Female Fellow Disciple, you know about my fight with Ma Xiaotao?"
His expression suddenly became odd, as if to say:
You should have at least lent a hand!
A Soul Master challenging a Spirit Emperor, and not just any Spirit Emperor, but one with Evil Fire out of control-what the heck?
Han Ruoru's voice was melodious, with a hint of a distant tune. "I, along with Yue Xuan and most of the other students at the Seventh Ring level, rushed over, but Teacher Li stopped us. He told us it was Dean Yan's test for you, and that the Dean believed you had the ability to face Little Peach."
Ling Bai turned his head mechanically, gazing at the towering golden tree at the center of Sea God Island. He said softly, "Oh? Dean Yan..."
Ling Bai gritted his teeth. Last night, the sword flashes and phoenix cries made him wonder if the people in the Inner Academy were all blind and deaf.
Great, so it was you, old Dean!
Han Ruoru continued with a smile. "Yue Xuan told me that you are very powerful. I didn't believe it at first. You're only eleven, and the five years since your soul beast awakening is such a short time. But last night, even from a distance, I could sense the overwhelming sharpness of your soul skills."
She raised her slender thumb. "Keep it up, Junior Brother!"
"Thank you, Senior Female Fellow Disciple. I won't let you down."
"Good."
Han Ruoru's bright eyes curved into a charming arc. Ling Bai lingered on her face for a few seconds, admiring her delicate features and clear, autumn-like eyes-such a description fit her perfectly.
"Here, these are the essentials for Shrek Academy Inner Academy students."
Han Ruoru took a few items from her earring-like storage soul conductor and handed them to Ling Bai.
A yellow-green School Emblem with a cute and ugly little monster carved on it.
Shrek Academy, among the many soul beasts, is a rather peculiar existence, corresponding to the school motto-only monsters are accepted, no ordinary people.
Two sets of red Shrek Academy uniforms.
White, yellow, purple, black, and red-Shrek Academy uses soul rings to represent grades. The first four colors belong to the Outer Academy, while red is exclusive to the Inner Academy.
"Put on the uniform." Han Ruoru said.
Ling Bai didn't say anything, took the School Emblem and uniform, and turned to go inside.
"Creak-"
Two minutes later, the door opened again, and a red figure walked out.
Han Ruoru's eyes instantly lit up, and she blurted out, "You look good in anything, no wonder you're so handsome."
"Senior Female Fellow Disciple, to describe a male, you should use 'handsome'..."
Ling Bai sighed, covering his face. Why did everyone at Shrek Academy like to use the word 'pretty'? Having fair skin and gentle features wasn't something he could control.
"Alright, handsome."
Han Ruoru readily corrected herself, but Ling Bai felt she was speaking to a child.
Indeed, Han Ruoru was twenty-six years old, fifteen years older than Ling Bai. In the Douluo Continent, where people mature early, some girls have children by the age of fifteen.
So, in Han Ruoru's mind, Ling Bai was no different from a child.
"Never mind..."
Ling Bai waved his hand weakly and asked, "Senior Female Fellow Disciple, have you had
breakfast yet?"
"No."
"Want to eat something together?"
Han Ruoru agreed, "Sure, after we eat, I'll show you around the campus."
Han Ruoru led the way, and Ling Bai followed. Ling Bai's residence was on the far west side of Sea God Island, while the Canteen was on the far east side. They almost had to cross the entire Sea God Island. Along the way, they passed many buildings, and Han Ruoru would introduce
them to Ling Bai.
"The Inner Academy Supervision Hall, where you can receive supervision tasks. The
graduation requirements for Shrek Academy's Inner Academy are threefold: one, break through the 60th level of soul power; two, pass the graduation exam; and three, complete thirty supervision tasks."
"The Inner Academy Examination Hall, just like the Outer Academy, you need to pass exams each year to advance. If you fail for two consecutive years, you will be expelled from the Inner Academy. Oh, by the way, in three months, the Inner Academy will conduct a new student exam for the freshmen. You must pass it to become a true Inner Academy student."
"How is it like the Outer Academy..."
Ling Bai immediately thought of the Outer Academy's 3v3 team battle new student exam and probed, "We six won't be divided into two teams to fight, with the losers being eliminated and the winners staying to continue their training, right?"
"Hahaha, of course not."
Han Ruoru smiled. "The Inner Academy's entrance exam is already very strict, and there are not many students. If we used a half-elimination method like you suggested, the Inner Academy would have no students left.
The Inner Academy exam is individual, and there is some element of luck involved. It can be extremely difficult or surprisingly easy. I can't say more about the details, but I'll continue
introducing the Inner Academy to you."
"The Inner Academy Library, which houses a vast collection of books on soul beasts, soul beasts, and notable figures on the continent. Many are even unique editions. If you have time
after training, I suggest you visit the library often."
Mentioning the library, Han Ruoru's eyes lit up involuntarily.
Twenty minutes after the library, the two finally arrived at the Canteen. The long journey to
get a meal made Ling Bai consider changing his room.
Just as they entered the Canteen, Ling Bai caught the scent of various aromas wafting out,
making his mouth water.
The Inner Academy had fewer than a hundred students, and the Canteen had only one serving window, but the space was very spacious.
There weren't many Inner Academy students eating at the moment, making the large Canteen seem even more empty. Ling Bai and Han Ruoru went to get their meals.
Ling Bai, being a gentleman, let Han Ruoru go first, but she insisted that as a Senior Female
Fellow Disciple, she should let the junior brother go first. Since Ling Bai wasn't the type to
dawdle, he stood in front of her.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"Uncle, I'll have two buns and a bowl of porridge."
Ling Bai didn't like overly greasy food for breakfast. He had just seen an Inner Academy
student eating roasted meat in the morning!
Unbearable... truly unbearable...
"Alright!"
The Canteen uncle quickly took out two large, round buns and a steaming bowl of white
porridge. Ling Bai estimated that the uncle was at least a Third Ring Soul Master based on his
speed.
The uncle handed the tray to Ling Bai and turned to Han Ruoru, speaking gently, "Ruo Ruo, what would you like to eat?"
Han Ruoru and Zhang Lexuan were at the elder level of Shrek Academy, and the Canteen uncle
was very familiar with her.
"Uncle Mo, I'll have the same as Junior Brother."
"No problem!"
"Um, Uncle Mo..."
Ling Bai spoke to get their attention and pointed to the tray. "You didn't charge me."
"Charge?"
Uncle Mo scratched his head, looking puzzled. "Charge for what? The Inner Academy Canteen
is free!"
