Douluo Dalu - The Story Of Sheng Feilong Chapter 55

Elder Li, who had just arrived, stood together with Elder Cai and the old, grey haired man, who Shen Yi had called Elder Zhou before . All three of them stood in a line with their hands behind their backs, respectfully letting the young man, that Elder Li brought with him, stand half a step in front of them . Meanwhile, Shen Yi nervously stood by the side, just a step behind Elder Zhou .

Sheng Feilong fixedly looked at the young man . He didn't give off any aura, but Sheng Feilong's senses told him that this person was incredibly powerful . Moreover, there was the fact that that stubborn old lady was respectfully standing by the side of this young man, not daring to say anything!

'Just who in the world is he? Aren't they Elders of Shrek Academy's Sea G.o.d's Pavilion? Why are they all standing behind him?'

Because she was speaking in such a quiet voice, Sheng Feilong didn't hear Shen Yi addressing the young man as 'Pavilion Master' before and thus could only make his own speculations . Tang Wulin and the others didn't fare any better . None of them knew who the young man was, but they still stared at him in wonder .

A few moments pa.s.sed before Elder Li lightly coughed and took a step forward . He looked at the confused children and casually introduced the young man to them, as the latter himself just kept staring at them while occasionally nodding his head with a satisfied expression .

"Let me introduce you to him . This is Shrek Academy's Sea G.o.d's Pavilion's Master, the Atlas Douluo Yun Ming . I brought him here today because he insisted on personally meeting the ones who . . . destroyed the Gold-Eyed Black Dragon King mural all of you faced in the first trial . "

All of the children were shocked when Elder Li called the young man 'Pavilion Master' . The Sea G.o.d's Pavilion's Master was the person of the highest authority in Shrek Academy . Even more shocking than his position was the young man himself! Atlas Douluo? Just how old was this person?! He barely looked a day older than 20! What kind of concept was a 20 years old t.i.tled Douluo, who stood at the peak of Shrek Academy?!

Sheng Feilong and the others stared at Yun Ming with open mouths, while Elder Cai and Elder Zhou seemed just as surprised, though for another reason . Elder Zhou looked at Elder Li with a frown and spoke in an irritated tone .

"Old Li, what do you mean 'destroyed the Gold-Eyed Black Dragon King mural'? Don't tell me those brats used some Soul Weapons?"

Elder Li wryly smiled and spoke with a lamenting expression .

"Sheng Feilong resisted the pressure with his Spirit Power alone, causing the mural to release more and more pressure . After a while, his bloodline energy activated, stubbornly resisting the pressure . The Dragon King's blood inside the mural reacted to that bloodline energy and began rampaging around and recklessly attacking Sheng Feilong . It was a grand sight, but extremely dangerous and we had to stop the test, but the blood hadn't calmed down yet . "

Elder Zhou's eyes widened as his gaze switched between Sheng Feilong and Elder Li repeatedly, before eventually coming to a stop on Sheng Feilong's body . He hesitated a moment before mumbling to himself .

"So that talk about a 100 . 000-years-old Three-Eyed Golden Lion . . . was true . . . His bloodline essence is strong enough to trigger the Black Dragon King's blood . . ?"

Elder Li sighed seeing his old friend like that . He slightly shook his head before lightly coughing again and continued to speak .

"Later today, the pressure the mural radiated increased because of the agitation, causing the trial to become much harder . . . I actually had to adjust the threshold for pa.s.sing the test a few times because of this . Tang Wulin and his group were the last to take the test . I didn't think much of it and just hoped the mural would stay stable . However, I didn't expect to see another little monster enduring the mural's pressure with just their aura alone . He eventually managed to trigger the Dragon King's blood as well, but his aura was even more dense than Sheng Feilong's and he still stood tall . Eventually, the Dragon King's blood ignited itself as a last ditch effort, and finally got that boy to kneel, ha, ha!"

Zhou Shi, didn't listen to Elder Li too much at the beginning as he continued to stare at Sheng Feilong, but as the latter continued to talk, Zhou Shi's face started to change and he looked at Tang Wulin . Now, at the end of Elder Li's explanation, Zhou Shi was left with his mouth slightly open, his gaze alternating between Sheng Feilong and Tang Wulin .

"They really are little monsters . . . Ah! Right . . . "

Zhou Shi glanced at Elder Cai and Pavilion Master Yun before taking a few steps forward to Sheng Feilong . He cleared his throat and began to speak in an imposing manner, befitting of a powerful Elder like himself .

"Sheng Feilong, your talent and strength are truly praiseworthy . I have seen the results of your prior trials, and after hearing Elder Li, I a.s.sume the deficits in your physical strength are a result of overusing your bloodline energy in the first trial, am I correct?"

Faced with Zhou Shi's sudden turn of att.i.tude, Sheng Feilong flinched slightly and nodded reflexively at the question . The first trial had indeed overdrawn his body's and bloodline's strength . Zhou Shi acknowledged his answer with a grunt before he continued .

"Seeing you results, as well as your potent bloodline energy and your moral character of showing concern for those around you – may they be beast or human – I think you are fit to become a student of Shrek Academy . "

Before the others could say anything to Sheng Feilong, Yun Ming sighed and shook his head lightly while looking at Zhou Shi .

"There's one, more important topic we need to address before the examination continues . "

He paused for a moment before looking at everyone with a solemn expression .

"The matter of Sheng Feilong being the descendant of a Soul Beast will remain secret . No one outside of this room is to be informed of this . Am I understood?"

The imposing aura of Shrek Academy's Sea G.o.d's Pavilion's Master caused all of them to straighten their backs as they acknowledged his words in unison . Sheng Feilong told them that, other than them, only his father and master knew about this matter . Yun Ming then spoke to the children again .

"Your ninth trial has officially finished . All of you chose not to kill the juvenile lion and have shown to stay true to your decisions . Your moral characters are excellent . For this trial, all of you obtain full marks . " He then looked back at Cai Yue'er and the other two Elders and told them to continue with the tenth and final trial before he left .

The children were confused and Shen Yi quickly explained to them, that the tenth trial was an evaluation of their performances and the three Elders, namely Elder Cai, Elder Zhou and Elder Li, would give them a comprehensive score, that would be added to their total .

Elder Zhou started with Tang Wulin, followed by Xie Xie and Xue Xiaoyan; All three of them pa.s.sed, with Tang Wulin even getting full marks! Next, Elder Cai called for Gu Yue . Elder Cai gave her a harsh review and only a single point for the tenth trial, gaining her a grand total of 59 . Gu Yue was the only one out of their group of four who didn't pa.s.s the examination .

Tang Wulin couldn't stand the decision and questioned the fairness of Shrek Academy, earning him more harsh comments from Elder Cai . Sheng Feilong and Jian w.a.n.g frowned, but decided to stay silent, as Elder Zhou and Elder Li didn't refute Elder Cai, as well . Following this, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan renounced their admittance to Shrek Academy, before Xu Xiaoyan used a few clever words to get Zhou Shi to help them out .

Apparently Zhou Shi was their Grandteacher – the teacher of their teacher – and Xu Xiaoyan used that connection to get him to give Gu Yue more points . In the end, Elder Cai gave in and all of them were accepted into Shrek Academy . Next up was Jian w.a.n.g . This time, Zhou Shi was the one to give him the evaluation again and after a bit of praise, Jian w.a.n.g earned another 8 points, for a grand total of 70 points!

Last but not least, it was finally Sheng Feilong's turn! Elder Li called for him to step forward and gave him his evaluation . He said nearly the same words as Zhou Shi when he asked Sheng Feilong to become his disciple before and gave him full marks for the tenth trial; He now finished the entrance exam with a grand total of 82 points!

Elder Cai said nothing, but her facial expression clearly showed her displeasure . This didn't escape Sheng Feilong's eyes and he committed her behaviour to his memory; Not only had she tried to fail Gu Yue, nearly causing 3 other students to leave the academy, she also failed him in the fourth trial and seemingly tried the same in this tenth trial again! While Sheng Feilong thought about this, he saw Elder Li nudge Elder Cai lightly and the latter stepped forward

"Sheng Feilong, your score for the fourth trial will be revised . As the Elder overseeing that trial, I will change your score from 0 to 3 . With this, the sum of your total score is 85; You are eligible to enter Shrek Academy's Inner Court . "

After this, Elder Cai and the others left, leaving behind the happy children, a stunned Sheng Feilong and a calm Shen Yi . They congratulated each other for a while, before Shen Yi led the six of them out . All of them were quite tired as today really was a long day . They informed their parents that they'd stay at Shrek Academy tonight and Shen Yi showed them their new homes; The student's dormitory for Jian w.a.n.g, the Working Student's dormitory for Tang Wulin and the others and lastly, she led Sheng Feilong to the Inner Court's dormitory, before turning around to face him with a light smile .

"Welcome to Shrek Academy's Inner Court, Junior Brother!"
