Chapter 12 Shrek City truly lives up to its reputation as the formidable fortress of the continent.
After bidding farewell to Atai and Xiaobai, Huo Yutong and her group returned to their dragon forms and flew towards Shrek City with them.
During the journey, Tianmeng activated mental sharing and explained the pre-arranged settings to Biji and Ziji.
"Your household registrations are all from the Star Luo Empire, from a mysterious, reclusive family. Bi Ji and Zi Ji are both Yu Tong's cousins."
Bi Ji's real name is Huo Bi Ling, she is 26 years old, her martial soul is the Spirit Swan, and she is a level 73 healing-type soul saint. I will simulate the soul rings for you, they don't need to be too outstanding, they are all yellow, purple, black and black. You can make up the soul skills yourself.
Zi Ji's real name is Huo Ziyan, she is 23 years old, her martial soul is the Shadow Dragon Spear, and she is a level 72 powerful attack-type soul saint.
Regarding my disguise, soul power fluctuations are the hardest to conceal. I should use soul power as little as possible, and never use it in front of a Title Douluo. If I have to use it, I should use the soul power needed to take something from my storage soul tool.
"Even a tiny bit of the Limit Douluo skill is useless; once used, it's gone. Besides, my mental energy disguise has a time limit and needs to be reapplied periodically," Tianmeng said.
Princess Brigitte and Princess Ziji understood.
They reviewed the concept again.
"Little Yutong, call me 'sister' twice and let me hear it," Ziji said with a smile.
"...Sister Ziyan..." Yutong whispered, her face flushed. "Sister Biling..."
Brigitte patted Yu Tong's head.
"Bingbing, call me sister, and I'll give you my life..." Before Tianmeng could finish speaking, she was slapped away by Bingdi.
Tianmeng crawled back, calling out "Bingbing, ah! Bingbing..." Tianmeng had just been slapped back to her original form by Bingdi.
Before she could finish speaking, Hyotei had already transformed into her true form, her two large pincers clamping down on Tenmu's head and tail respectively, twisting Tenmu's plump body like a pretzel.
"Aaaaaaahh ...
Electrolux felt that this scene was not suitable for children to watch, so he thoughtfully shielded Hyotei and Tenmu from view and sound. Moreover, when he saw this scene: a large, bright green scorpion twisting a plump, white silkworm with its pincers... Electrolux's lips unconsciously curled up.
Electrolux knew that Tenmu liked Hyotei. Before meeting Hyotei, he thought Hyotei was male. After learning that Hyotei was female... Lilies cannot bloom in the far north. He will respect Tenmu's love, but Hyotei does not like Tenmu.
When they were still a dozen miles away from Shrek City, Zi Ji slowly landed in a secluded clearing in the woods.
During the flight towards Shrek City, Tianmeng continuously used her mental power to conceal the figures of Ziji and the others.
Zi Ji transformed back into human form, and Tian Meng also flew out, carefully reinforcing everyone's mental disguise to ensure there were no flaws.
After tidying themselves up, the group walked along the wide official road toward the city that was famous throughout the continent.
As they drew closer, the outline of Shrek City gradually became clearer.
Looking into the distance, the towering city wall resembles a giant mountain range, its structure built of thick, bluish-gray boulders, showcasing the weight of time.
On the city wall, the figures of patrolling soldiers and flags fluttering in the wind can be vaguely seen.
The closer you get, the more you can feel the grandeur of this city.
The number of pedestrians and carriages on the official road gradually increased, and the closer they got to the city gate, the more bustling it became.
Soul Masters in various attire, merchants hurrying along, and caravans laden with goods came and went in an endless stream, their voices, the sound of horses' hooves, and the rumble of wheels all mingling together.
Huo Yutong looked up at the massive city gate tower that required her to crane her neck completely to see it, and at the three gilded characters "Shrek" written in bold, elegant strokes above the gate, her eyes filled with undisguised shock.
Brigitte gently took her hand, and Huo Yutong thought to herself, "We are 'sisters' now, I have an 'older sister'."
Murasaki, meanwhile, observed the endless stream of people with great interest.
Just as Huo Yutong was stunned by the bustling scene before her, the other guests in her spiritual sea also reacted in their own ways.
Tianmeng curiously looked around through Yutong's spiritual eyes; the far north where the Ice Emperor lived was sparsely populated, and the vitality of this human world was completely different from the ice plains she was familiar with; Ilex just silently looked at Shrek City.
Several long queues formed at the city gate, where guards in standard armor were checking people.
These guards had sharp eyes and a calm demeanor; they were all Soul Masters, highlighting Shrek City's extraordinary status.
When it was Huo Yutong's group's turn, the guards routinely asked, "Names, where you come from, and what brings you into the city?"
Biji stepped forward. "My name is Huo Biling, this is my younger sister Huo Ziyan, and my younger sister Huo Yutong."
"We come from the northern provincial capital of the Star Luo Empire. We are here to escort our younger sister so she can take the entrance exam for Shrek Academy." He then handed her a disguised travel permit.
After checking the pass, the guard stepped aside to make way: "Go in. I wish you success in your assessment, young lady."
"Thank you." Biji smiled slightly, took Huo Yutong's hand tightly, and together with Ziji, stepped through the huge city gate with the flow of people.
Shrek City, the location of Shrek Academy, was once the site of a famous historical event. A chief of staff surnamed Xun, upon ascending the city gates, exclaimed, "Shrek City truly deserves its reputation as the most formidable fortress on the continent!"
This demonstrates the importance of Shrek City.
As they walked through the bustling streets, they gradually approached Shrek Academy.
Finally, as they turned a corner onto a wide avenue, the magnificent gates of Shrek Academy came into view at the edge of their field of vision.
Below the gatehouse was a huge, open iron gate, with senior students dressed in Shrek Academy's exclusive uniforms and Soul Masters who looked like teachers maintaining order on both sides.
Outside the gate was a very spacious square, which was now packed with people.
It was roughly divided into two relatively orderly areas: one side was where young Soul Masters and their families were queuing in long lines, where there was a prominent sign that read "New Student Registration Office";
The other side was much quieter, with only a few people sitting behind makeshift tables and chairs, with a sign that read "Teacher Recruitment Review" in front of the tables.
"Let's split up," Biji said softly. "Yutong, you go line up to register, and Ziyan and I will go over there to apply for jobs."
Huo Yutong nodded and walked towards the winding dragon.
Meanwhile, Brigitte and Murasaki walked calmly towards the teacher recruitment area.
Teacher Recruitment Office:
The person in charge of recruitment was a middle-aged male teacher with glasses and a serious expression. The soul power fluctuations emanating from him were at least at the Soul Emperor level.
"Are you two here to apply for faculty positions at the college?" the middle-aged teacher asked.
"Yes," Brigitte said. "My name is Huo Biling, and this is my younger sister, Huo Ziyan. We heard that Shrek Academy is recruiting, so we came to give it a try."
"Please show your identification and briefly introduce your martial spirit, soul power level, and areas of expertise." The teacher took out the registration book.
Biji and Ziji responded calmly according to the pre-arranged settings. Then, seven spirit rings of yellow, purple, black and white appeared on both of them (of course, simulated by Tianmeng), attracting the attention of the entire square.
The recruiting teacher was secretly surprised, but then a smile appeared on his face: "Both of you are outstanding and meet our college's recruitment requirements."
Please wait a moment. I need to ask the director in charge of admissions for the Martial Soul Department to come over for further interviews and ability assessments.
After the recruiting teacher went to report, another recruiting teacher got up and walked into the college.
"Thank you for your trouble." Princess Brigitte and Princess Murasaki quietly walked to the side and waited.
