Chapter 184: Are You Really Going?

Nali sat on a chair in the forging room, swinging her legs as she watched the man who had just been scolded by Zhen Hua. He was now preparing to simultaneously forge two pieces of metal to prove that he hadn't slacked off in the past year.

Seeing the man's fidgety demeanor, Nali couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction.

Initially, given his nature, he had indeed fallen into decadence, spending his days indulging in the pleasures of the flesh and neglecting his duties.

Thankfully, she had urged and pushed him earlier. If not for her encouragement... Hmph!

As for whether Wang Si could successfully forge two pieces of metal at the same time, it was obvious that he couldn't.

It wasn't that his technique was lacking, but that his soul power wasn't sufficient to support two simultaneous spirit forgings.

If Wang Si's soul power could reach level 30 and the duration of his third soul ring could reach ten thousand years, then he might have a chance to perform two spirit forgings simultaneously.

After realizing this outcome, Nali no longer paid attention to Wang Si. Instead, she turned her interest to the famous divine blacksmith of the continent, Zhen Hua.

Many in the Holy Spirit Church coveted Zhen Hua's heavenly forged metals, and now he was within arm's reach.

However, Nali had no desire to capture him.

There was something she couldn't quite understand. Why would a divine blacksmith like Zhen Hua be accompanied by someone with only a 95th level of soul power, and moreover, someone who was the master of the Physical Sect, only skilled in brute force?

Was it because there was conflict between Zhen Hua and Shrek? Nali was perplexed.

Nonetheless, it didn't stop her from enjoying the show as Wang Si fell flat.

In the end, Wang Si failed to successfully forge two pieces of metal, but he managed to produce a top-quality thousand-fold and a third-grade spirit forging.

Such a result could only make Zhen Hua swallow the rebuke he had been about to utter.

"Take some time to cultivate well and don't slack off," Zhen Hua said before turning to look at Mu Ye, who was dozing off with a relaxed smile on his face, and sighing helplessly.

"The enrollment of the Shrek Academy, which is held once every three years, will begin soon. You can take the exam then."

Shrek Academy, that was the coveted cultivation holy land for countless soul masters.

Wang Si nodded expressionlessly, indicating that he would prepare accordingly.

After persuading Wang Si, Zhen Hua turned his headache towards the two women he had specifically called over to distract Wang Si.

Feeling a bit helpless, he kicked Makino, who was pretending to be asleep.

Mu Ye woke up "dazed and confused," his eyes blurry.

"Tell them about the situation at Shrek," Zhen Hua said. "I don't know about the assessments and teachers there, so you can fill them in."

Makino slowly woke up, feeling helpless as he glanced at the three of them and yawned.

"Getting into Shrek Academy is quite a test of teamwork. Some of the assessments must be completed by multiple people.

So, Wang Si, when the time comes, don't just show off by yourself. Give them a chance to shine as well."

Before explaining the assessment rules, Maki reminded Wang Si first.

In response to Muyang's reminder, Wang Si simply nodded slightly.

Then Mu Ye turned to look at Nali. Without having cultivated spiritual power and only cultivating her physical body, she didn't know that the innocent-looking little girl in front of her was one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Holy Spirit Sect, with a true strength of level 98 and possessing a Three-Word Battle Armor.

"With Wang Si and Nali's strength, you can enter Shrek Academy. Even if you don't have any skills, it won't be a problem. We'll find a way to get you in.

The topic shifted to the prestigious Shrek Academy. Wang Si tentatively broached the subject of enrolling there. "So, how many people can the Forging Masters' Association recommend to Shrek each year? I don't think I need to take that assessment."

At these words, Makino turned to Wang Si, his eyes narrowing dangerously. The reason he had adopted Wang Si as his godson instead of taking on a closed disciple was twofold. Firstly, he wanted to fulfill his desire to raise a child, and secondly, he hoped that Wang Si would take the entrance exam for Shrek Academy.

To be honest, he was just the master of the Body Cultivation School. When he was younger, his dream had been to get into Shrek Academy. Since he couldn't make his dream come true, he now pinned his hopes on his godson.

But now, Wang Si wanted to bypass the entrance exam and get a direct recommendation to Shrek, causing Makino's brows to furrow in disapproval.

"In Tianhai City, I thoroughly bullied a student from Shrek Academy. And the one in charge of the assessment is a teacher from Shrek. Those guys will definitely try to make things difficult for me," Wang Si explained, to which Makino unconsciously nodded, finding the reason reasonable. But soon, his face darkened.

"You little rascal! Shrek is the holy land in the eyes of all spirit masters. How dare you belittle it so!" Makino chastised.

Wang Si shrugged helplessly. "Old Deng, if you don't believe me, let's make a bet. If the teachers from Shrek give me a hard time, you let me drive your red-level mecha for two days. But if they don't, I'll help you tailor-make a red-level mecha in the future after I've mastered heavenly forging. What do you say?"

Although Wang Si's offer was tempting, Makino still refused. If he were naive enough to bet on the character of the Shrek teachers, he might as well throw away all the experience he had gained over the years!

"Rest assured, it's just a matter of having Zhenhua forge a few more heavenly-forged metals. One heavenly-forged metal can secure one spot. Shrek will definitely beg and plead to have you three enrolled," Makino assured.

...

In the grand city of Shilai Ke, the renowned Shilai Ke Academy stood as a beacon of knowledge and power. As the continent's top academy, it attracted countless geniuses and aspiring spirit masters who dreamed of walking its halls.

The academy's campus was vast, rivaling small cities in size. Wang Si, accompanied by Nali and Na'er, strode into the plaza and met up with Liu Yue, who had already become a teacher at Shrek.

Since Nali was confident that her presence wouldn't be detected, Wang Si didn't make any special requests of her.

When Wang Si and his group arrived to take the student entrance exam, Liu Yue had already passed the exam and become a junior teacher at Shrek Academy, thanks in part to Zhenhua pulling a few strings. This was done to smooth the way for their group and prevent any unexpected complications during the enrollment process.

After greeting Liu Yue, Wang Si couldn't help but survey the plaza. It was surrounded by a large circle of ancient buildings that formed a semi-circular shape. At a glance, the diameter of this semi-circle appeared to exceed a thousand meters.

The massive semi-circular structure was constructed entirely from stone blocks, adorned with various full-body sculptures. Among them, Wang Si recognized a few familiar silhouettes—a figure wielding a trident, another with rabbit ears, and one with cat ears...
