  In the front row, there are three statues. The one in the middle is an old man wearing glasses and smiling, with a medium build and slightly chubby appearance, looking like a kind gentleman.

  Bibi said to Huo Yuhao, "The one in the middle is the founder of our Shrek Academy and its first principal, Flender. To his left is one of my ancestors, who created the foundation for teaching all the martial soul systems at Shrek Academy, and is known as a grandmaster, Yu Xiaogang. My mother is his direct descendant. The woman to the right is also an ancestor, Liu Erlong, and she's Grandmaster's wife. They, along with Principal Flender, formed the Golden Iron Triangle. If you say that Principal Flender created Shrek Academy, then Grandmaster is the academy's true soul, and he personally trained the Shrek Seven Devils behind them."

  The statue of the master looks like a somewhat thin middle-aged man, while Liu Er Long is a elegant and refined middle-aged woman.

  Behind them were seven statues. When Huo Yu's gaze fell on the statue at the very front, his body involuntarily trembled slightly.

  He was a tall and handsome man, the most peculiar thing about him was that he had double pupils. There were king-like patterns on his forehead, although it was just a statue, it gave off an overwhelming aura of power.

  "These seven statues behind the Golden Iron Triangle were once the brilliant Shrek Seven Devils. The first one is White Tiger Douluo Dai Mubai, the second one is Sausage Douluo Oscar, and the third one is our Tang Sect's ancestor, Thousand Hands Douluo Tang San."

  Among the seven, Tang San was the most handsome one, with a head of blue long hair scattered behind him, wearing simple and powerful attire, with circles of blue vines wrapped around his body, clearly his Blue Silver Grass martial soul. There was also a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were fixed on a woman who was fifth in line among the seven, with a scorpion braid hairstyle.

  "Fourth is Xie Fengduo Luoma Hongjun, fifth is our Tangmen ancestor's wife, Rouguangduo Xiaowu. It is said that the ancestor was originally a 100,000-year-old soul beast who cultivated into a human. Next is Jiubao Duoluo Ning Rongrong, who has the title of strongest auxiliary soul master and is the wife of Xiangchuan Duoluo. The last one, Youming Duoluo Zhu Zhucheng, is the wife of Baitu Duoluo Dai Mubai."

  The seven statues of the first generation of Shrek's Seven Monsters are all different, and just from their titles as Douluo, you can see how powerful they were back then.

  Tang Ya's gaze remained on the statue of Tang San, Thousand Hands Douluo. The Golden Iron Triangle and the first generation Shrek Seven Devils laid the foundation for Shrek Academy. After ten thousand years, Shrek Academy had produced countless excellent talents and strong individuals, but there were only ten statues here, never increasing.

  "From here, we'll be parting ways. To the left is the Martial Soul Department, and to the right is the Soul Guidance Department. These are also the two main branches of our Shrek Academy, both being external departments. Relatively speaking, the Martial Soul Department is larger, while the Soul Guidance Department is smaller. The Martial Soul Department also has many departmental divisions. We'll go to the Martial Soul Department to register first. At least after passing the new student's first assessment, we'll have the qualifications to register for the Soul Guidance Department."

  Huò Yǔ Hào's gaze was still attracted by the ten statues, and his mind recalled the legendary stories his mother had told him before, with waves of shock flowing through his heart from time to time.

  From the statue, proceed left and the road remains very wide, enough to accommodate four or five horse-drawn carriages side by side. There are signs on the roadside with the words "Lake Shore Path".

  Across the green trees on the right side, a wide expanse of water can be vaguely seen. In other words, behind the ten statues of Golden Iron Triangle and Slark Seven Monsters, there is a huge lake.

  Tang Ya noticed Huo Yuhao's gaze and couldn't help but say proudly, "That is an artificial lake built to commemorate our Tang Sect's ancestor, Thousand Hands Douluo Tang San. It's called Sea God Lake. Because, legend has it that our ancestor Tang San inherited the divine power of the Sea God. The Sea God Lake is extremely vast, and underground water flows into it. Our Shrek Academy's inner courtyard is located on the central island of the Sea God Lake. All outer courtyard disciples consider it an honor to be able to set foot on the central island."

  Babe took a deep look in the direction of Lake Haidi, with some firm and persistent light flashing in her eyes.

  The lake is indeed very large, and the path along the lakeside heads south for almost a minute before turning west, and after walking for more than a minute, the path begins to turn inward, and a wide rectangular plaza appears in view. Next to it also appeared a sign of Slake Square.

  Behind Slake Square, there are tall teaching buildings of different colors, mainly white, yellow, purple and black. Looking north from Slake Square, it seems that there is also a gray teaching building in the distance.

  "Look, the teaching building on the other side of the square represents different grades, distinguished by the color of the soul ring. White is for freshmen, like the lowest level of the ten-year soul ring. Yellow is for sophomores and juniors, purple is for seniors, and black is for sixth graders. If you can walk out of the black teaching building, you can already get a graduation certificate from the outer court of the college."

  "Those gray teaching buildings in the distance belong to the Soul Guidance Department. In terms of area, the Soul Guidance Department occupies about one-third of the main teaching area, and the Martial Soul Department occupies two-thirds. Apart from these teaching buildings in front, there are also many specific teaching venues behind, such as the Douluo Arena, Assessment Area, Dormitory Area, Teacher Office Area, and so on."

  The white new teaching building is located on the southernmost side, and it is also closest to the lakeside path. Huo Yu Hao and his two companions walked from the south of Shrek Plaza and arrived at this teaching building.

  As it is in the period of recruiting new students, the teaching building for freshmen is particularly lively. Some freshmen who have passed the assessment are registering here.

  Under the leadership of Beibei and Tangya, Huo Yuhao's registration went very smoothly. The tuition fee was paid by Beibei, and the annual tuition fee was as high as ten gold soul coins. Moreover, it did not include food expenses. If you cannot pass the assessment and drop out halfway, the tuition fee will not be refunded.

  After receiving the dormitory key, two sets of school uniforms and a white freshman badge, Huo Yuhao followed Tang Ya and BeiBei out of the freshmen teaching building.

  Tang Yadao said: "Xiaoyu Hao, the dormitory is just behind the teaching building. The tallest building in the entire college is the one you'll be staying in. You can go there yourself later. The new school year won't officially start until three days from now, so you can take some time to get familiar with the environment first. We've paid your tuition for the first year, but after that, it's up to you. There are various competitions held by the college, all of which have cash prizes. Also, as a Soul Master, after registering at the college, you'll be able to receive a salary issued by the three major empires every month. If you're frugal with your expenses, it should be enough for food."

  Huō Yǔhào carefully remembered Táng Yǎ's words, and was just about to bid farewell to Xiǎo Yǎ teacher and Dàshīxiōng when Bèibèi frowned slightly as she looked at a notice on the bulletin board not far away.

  He didn't need to move forward, and with a slight circulation of his soul power, the strong visual ability of his spiritual eyes came into play, clearly seeing the words on that notice.

  His mother taught him to read and write when he was young. Although he had never formally attended school, Huo Yuhao's cultural level was not bad at all.

  Only saw on the notice written, New Class 1 head teacher, Zhou Wei, New Class 2 head teacher...

  Zhou Wei? I think I'm in Class 1 of the freshmen! Huo Yuhao was assigned to Class 1 because he signed up early.

  Tang Ya also discovered what Beibei was paying attention to, and exclaimed in a low voice: "Ah? How is it Zhou Wei that perverted old aunt. Isn't she teaching third grade? Why did she get assigned to the new student teaching side?"

  Bibi smiled wryly and said, "I heard that Teacher Zhou was too strict when teaching third-grade students, resulting in only one-tenth of her class advancing to fourth grade. Moreover, she was reported by the students to the academy multiple times, which is why she was demoted to the freshman class. Little brother, you should be careful, our Shrek Academy's outer court has not many monster students, but there are quite a few monster teachers, and Teacher Zhou is the most notorious one."
