Chapter 37 - Shrek Academy part 5

Flender gave them information about Great Spirit Arena and told them that they have to get a silver rank badge in order to successfully graduate from the Shrek Academy. After that, he took them inside the Great Spirit Arena to register for Iron Badges. JoyBoy didn't say anything because he thought that this was a good way to earn Gold coins for a while.

Fighting spirit registration was carried out here extremely simply, the only requirement was to fill out a form including name and surname, age, birthplace and spirit, and one could receive the first iron spirit fight badge, of course, registering required everyone to pay ten gold coins as registration fee.

Simultaneously, they also carried out a spirit test similar to Spirit Hall, making certain of each person's rank. Dai Mubai told everyone, every time before participating in fighting spirit, everyone must first carry out spirit power test to determine the match opponent.

When they found out that JoyBoy was already a rank forty one spirit ancestor, they were surprised that he was able to get his fourth spirit ring so quickly. After registering and getting their badges, very quickly, the six people already finished sorting, because they had come together, they would all fight at at the contest area of Spirit Arena fourteen.

The one on one spirit fight area was drawn up according to lots drawn in advance. While other Spirit Masters were in the middle of spirit fights, the waiting Spirit Masters could opt to watch the battle or opt to rest. Each area in the Spirit Arena had special places for competing Spirit Masters to watch the battle. The distance to the fighting spirits platform was very close.

When it was JoyBoy's turn, he went to the arena and waited for his opponent to show up. His opponent was a female rank forty six spirit ancestor with a leopard type martial spirit. After they were both introduced to the spectators, everyone had a shocked face seeing such a young spirit ancestor.

The female had a rich battle experience and quickly calmed herself before releasing her spirit rings. She didn't let her guard down even though JoyBoy looked so young and instead prepared herself for battle. The moment their battle started, she used her first and second spirit ring which increased her agility and strength and tried to attack JoyBoy with her claws who had a gentle smile on his face.

The moment her claws were about to touch JoyBoy, he boosted his physical attributes four times and punched her twice, first on her stomach and second on her face. After doing that he checked her condition to make sure that she was alright. He went back after he was announced the winner while everyone was looking at him with wide eyes because he had just defeated someone five ranks above him in two punches.

After going back, he waited for others to finish their matches while observing his surroundings and battle between different types of spirit masters in the various stages. After everyone was done with their battles, they all returned to the academy without Ma Hongjun, who went with the dean to some other place.

At the academy gates, he told everyone that he is going back to his room to cultivate and directly went back to his room after nodding at Tang San and Xiao Wu. After he saw that his ten clones were silently cultivating, he directly sat down on his bed and started cultivating.

"Flender wasn't surprised after knowing that I have my fourth spirit ring. This means that Teacher must have told him about the uniqueness of my martial spirit in the letter he gave to Tang San to deliver to the dean.

In today's battle, just four times boost was enough to almost kill that poor girl. I almost feel sorry for punching her face as I don't have any enmity with her. Too bad that I am only allowed to participate once per day in a one on one battle otherwise I can easily earn money this way."

The next morning, he finished his daily workouts, undid his ten clones five clone at once to absorb the spirit energy cultivated by them and left his room after summoning ten clones to cultivate in his room. By the time he reached the big grounds, every student except Oscar had already arrived there and were waiting for Dean Flender.

They waited for some time before the Dean came strolling along. Flender's gaze first fell on Ning Rongrong, but he did not say anything to her,

"Today is your second class. What about Oscar? Did he sleep in again?"

Tang San hurriedly said:

"When I left this morning he was still cultivating, perhaps his mediation couldn't be broken in time."

Flender frowned,

"For today's class we can't start without him. Tang San, you go call him over."

Tang San was just about to return to the dorms when he saw Oscar hurriedly come running from the dorm. However, on his face was no panic from arriving late, instead brimming with excitement.

"Oscar, do you want to run laps again?"

Dean Flender glared at him.

Oscar hastily shook his head and told them that he broke through and reached thirtieth rank."

Flender's eyes distinctly shone,

"Good, good, good, Oscar, you haven't let me down. You are among the current students the third to reach thirtieth rank. I congratulate you on behalf of the Academy."

After everyone congratulated him, Flender told them that for that day class, they had to eat at least one of Oscar's sausage. He even explained the reason behind that action and told them it was compulsory for everyone.

After Oscar summoned his food spirits with a dark smile, JoyBoy was the first to eat them. After eating them he noticed that they tasted quite good. Once everyone was done eating, Flender said

"Now, all of you return to prepare, you have one day's time to adjust and rest. Early tomorrow you will all set out on a journey. Teacher Zhao Wuji will lead you to Star Dou Great Forest to help Oscar obtain his third spirit ring. This is not only a matter for Oscar alone, it is also experience for all of you before encountering thousand year spirit beasts. Zhao Wuji will not lightly step in, everything depends on yourselves. Good, dismissed."

Hearing him, JoyBoy quickly returned to his room, cleaned himself and sat down on his bed to cultivate.

The next morning he finished his daily morning routine and went to the grounds where Zhao Wuji was already waiting for others while having panda eyes. After everyone arrived, they all left for Star Dou Great Forest.
