When I came out of the bath I wore my clothes and browse the news tab. Something's wrong, why is the news tab showing the date as 10, it should be 8 today. I checked the Alliance digital calendar and it was 10 today. I was fusing with my spirit soul for two days.
'That's why I feel tired huh'
'I need to go to Ocean City tomorrow. The preparations should have been finalized.
*Five months later*
{ The recent Poison murdering has reached a sky high.14 cities have been attacked in the past year. All the clues and the way of murdering points to the mysterious gang as said by the Alliance officers of three different Alliances, our Skysea Alliance, and the neighbouring the Earthrock Alliance and Silvasa Alliance.}
{This gang mainly target small cities who don't have enough experts above Soul King level. This murderers are cruel. Their total killings has surpassed 30,000 already. The alliances had already asked for help from Sun Moon federation to arrest this gang.}
This news was broadcasted on the Alliance network during lunch hours. All the students had different reactions to this report. Some were angry, some were sad, some were furious but most of them were scared.
Between them a kid a silently eating his meal.This kid was different. His food contained pure vegetarian food wherein all the others have meat in at least one of their dishes. Even the free ones.
The kid was focused on eating his meal like he cared for no one but the twitching of his ears betrayed him.
Fan Lin was listening to the reporter news. The reporter was lying. It was 17 cities and less than 25,000 kills. All those who had been killed not innocent at that. They were criminals who killed , raped and even made young girls work in the brothels while breaking the legs of young boys to make them work as Begar.
They were people who deserved deaths. Yet the Alliance were presenting them as innocents huh.
But the Alliance has made the security realy tight. Looks like I didn't have any choice ones again but to stop my plans. It was all thanks to human greed that my plans worked. The recent news made even the greediest one wary of others.
For the past five months. Fan Lin has neglected his cultivation to rob and kill the various cities. All the time went to planning, executing and escaping had earned him a lot of federal/ Alliance coins.
3 billions to be exact. This much should be enough to buy a seat at Shrek's.
Every three years, Shrek Academy would recruit new students, signaling a grand occasion for soul masters.
The reason he went to other Alliances was also this. Each Alliance was given a limited numbers of quota for the Shrek's admission test.
The Skysea Alliance had a little more than one hundred quotas for Shrek's entrance exam each time, and it was only after racking his brains and making many compromises that President Yu Zhen had been able to acquire four of them.
Merely qualifying for the entrance exam of Shrek Academy was a point of pride for many young soul masters. The continent even had a saying: Each and every soul master that qualified to take Shrek's entrance exam and failed would still be scouted by advanced academies.
This saying was grounded in truth. People who qualified to take this exam were the cream of the crop.
Despite being the elite of the elite, only a fraction of the examinees were admitted to Shrek Academy's outer court.
Shrek Academy only accepted two hundred outer court disciples every three years. Among the two hundred, fifty were set aside for those who failed to pass the inner court exam.
Only fifty people were allowed to take the inner court exam at a time. Passing the exam was obviously the desired outcome, but failing to do so still allowed entrance to the outer court, as well as the chance to enter the inner court in the future.
' I was able to successfully negotiate with the Earthrock Alliance. They just have 50 quotas and I need to pay 150 million for a single quota. Slightly costly but worth it.'
To Fan Lin, this is the last semester in Eastsea Academy. He had already talked with the Principal and it was easy. No one has any impression of him in the Eastsea Academy except the chef who cooked his vegetarian meals.
Due to his negligence, Fan Lin's cultivation was level 21 Soul Grandmaster. That was also due to his spirit soul. He needed to increase his cultivation in the last year.
Shrek will accept new students next year.
And then their the problem of his Spirit rings. His first spirit soul was 10 year old and his second spirit soul was of 100 years old. He needed to increase them too.
Lastly his combat experience on how to fight as a spirit master was just limited to books and videos. He alos didn't have any experience on controlling his second spirit soul. He needed to increase that also.
He still had a lot to do and with a lot less time.
Earthrock Alliance
Moon Rock City
Shining Moon Academy.
This was Fan Lin's new school starting from then. He would spend the rest of his intermediate school year here. This was also the Academy where the Earthrock Alliance President will give the quota for Shrek's admission for him.
He got admitted to this on the recommendation from the Earthrock Alliance President.
The Principal of this Academy himself was waiting for him. He greeted the Principal and went with him to complete my other formalities.
The school was a little dilipdated. The walls were old. The trees were not groomed properly and the path was a little empty.
He went to the classroom and introduced myself. After sometime, the class started. He thought students would pester him or ask him questions but no one did.
What he didn't know was that the Principal has repeatedly told the teacher and students to not annoy or disturb him because he thought Fan Lin was a rich young master or Alliance President's relative. Both were things he and his small academy could not afford to offend.
After classes Fan Lin went to the Principal to ask for permission to leave the school regularly stating the reason that he needs to practice at the spirit ascension platform while showing him his tickets list and the days he would be absent.
It was the first time that the Academy Pricipal had seen so many tickets/ passes for the Spirit Ascension platform. There were more than a hundred tickets, tickets that were verified by the Spirit Pagoda. They were real. It was a first for him.
The Pricipal granted him the permission.

Spirit Ascension platform.
A slightly tanned man could be seen running in a lush forest. Behind him more than hundred people were chasing him. Various attacks were thrown in his directions. They were a spirit masters.
The tanned man was running madly, like his life was on the line, and it really was.
For the past 11 months. Fan Lin was hunting spirit masters in the spirit ascension platform.
During this time , many spirit masters were slaughtered by him. He even went to different regions to kill more people as a region could barely support a 1000 people a month. He killed a lot.
Petrosapien or Diamondhead's ability was out of this world. He made traps spikes and others to kill Spirit masters. He used it to escape from soul beasts.
In the past half a year, the spirit masters had enough of him. They formed groups and strated to hunt him. In return his hunting increased its difficulty but the prize was also more as spirit masters were coming to him on their own accord.
Soon all the spirit masters learned that trying to corner him with just a few people was impossible so they went and gathered others who had already become his prey for more than a few times.
As for taking their revenge in the outside world, some of them tried to ask(bribe) the staff of the spirit ascension platform. The staff just showed them his reservation list and they immediately gave up.
