Chapter 104: The Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts, Monster Academy!
Furthermore, when establishing an academy, the empire at least requires some basic standards—such as gates, student dormitories, and training grounds, all of which must meet official requirements.
As long as the conditions are acceptable, no one will interfere, and as long as the basics are covered, it's good enough.
Therefore, Ye Wen didn't intend to build something shoddy like a wooden house. He planned to make it a bit nicer, at least making sure that it was comfortable to live in, with all necessary conditions met.
"Let's go in."
"Mm."
After passing through the academy's gates, Ye Wen saw that a construction team of over a hundred people was already working on building the academy.
Xiao Bai, Snow Empress, Ice Empress, A Tai, Ice Bear King, Da Ming, Er Ming, and Na'er had all arrived and were either directing the construction team or helping with the work.
Soon, Xiao Bai spotted Ye Wen and the others. "Boss! Boss is back!!!"
Everyone stopped what they were doing and gathered around Ye Wen.
"You've finally returned."
"Heh, let me introduce our new member. Xiao Wu, you all know her," Ye Wen said, pointing at Xiao Wu. He then introduced Zhu Zhuqing, "This person! Her name is Zhu Zhuqing."
When Ye Wen emphasized the word "person," a few of the smarter ones seemed to have figured something out.
"Hello, Xiao Wu. Hello, Zhu Zhuqing."
Everyone began to introduce themselves and soon, everyone knew each other's names.
Zhu Zhuqing was quite surprised to find that every girl at this academy was extremely beautiful!
Back in the Star Luo Empire, she was already one of the top beauties, but here, she felt like these women were no less beautiful than her.
"Zhuqing, are you really only twelve years old? Your figure is amazing~"
"What's your secret?"
"So envious!"
Zhu Zhuqing was surrounded by Snow Empress, Ice Empress, Xiao Bai, and several other women as they chatted and asked questions.
Da Ming and Er Ming excitedly came up to Xiao Wu. "Sister Xiao Wu!"
"You... you're Da Ming, Er Ming!?" Xiao Wu was also a bit excited and couldn't believe it.
Before they came, Ye Wen had told Xiao Wu that Da Ming and Er Ming were now also under his command. However, Xiao Wu didn't know that Da Ming and Er Ming could transform, and she didn't know that Ye Wen and the others were actually soul beasts in human form.
Ye Wen hadn't told her yet, and of course, Xiao Wu had various guesses and doubts in her heart.
"It's us! Sister Xiao Wu!" Da Ming and Er Ming said something only the three of them knew, and Xiao Wu finally believed it.
"What is going on? Da Ming, Er Ming..." Xiao Wu was now full of questions.
The three soul beasts from the Star Dou Forest met again, and it seemed like there was a lot to talk about.
"Alright, stop asking. Later, I'll tell you everything," Ye Wen interrupted Xiao Wu's questions and then said, "Now, everyone, gather around."
"Okay,"
Everyone gathered together.
"I'll explain. We're establishing this academy for the Soul Master Tournament, and our goal is to win the championship and obtain the three 10,000-year soul bones as the prize."
"As for the students of our academy, it will be just us. After this, there likely won't be any new students joining."
"Understood," everyone nodded.
Ye Wen then asked, "Xiao Bai, have the academy procedures been completed?"
"Boss, it's already done. It's been about four or five days," Xiao Bai replied.
"Oh? That's quick."
Xiao Bai smiled lightly. "Hehe, just paid a little money, and those people worked much faster."
"Is that so? Xiao Bai, you really understand people better than anyone else," Ye Wen chuckled and asked the next question, "So, how long until the academy is finished?"
"Boss, based on the conditions you specified, it should be completed in less than two months," Xiao Bai replied.
"Two months, that's not too long," Ye Wen nodded and instructed, "Let the construction team focus on the dormitory building first so we can move in early and rest."
"Got it."
At this moment, Snow Empress asked, "Ye Wen, since it's an academy, we need to give it a name, right? What do you plan to name our academy?"
"Good question," Ye Wen replied. He had already thought about the name. "The mountain will be called Mount Ten Thousand Beasts!"
"As for our academy, it will be called Monster Academy."
"Monster Academy? Boss, that sounds great! It really suits us!" Xie Hu said with an evil grin.
"Not bad, I quite like it," A Tai said.
Except for Snow Empress, Ice Empress, Xiao Bai, and Na'er, the other male soul beasts liked the name of the academy.
After all, they themselves were soul beasts in human form. They were monsters, beasts.
In their human forms, the talents they possessed were definitely monstrous in the eyes of regular human soul masters.
If Shrek Academy, known as the academy of monsters, is compared to this group of people led by Ye Wen, what can be considered monsters?
"Monster Academy? They're all younger than me, but their soul power levels are above mine. A group like this really can be called monsters!" Zhu Zhuqing thought to herself.
To be honest, when Ye Wen invited her, Zhu Zhuqing had the same thought.
He probably invited her because of her good talent. She was a genius—after all, at 12 years old, she was a level 29 Soul Master, one of the top in the Star Luo Empire.
So, it was natural for Zhu Zhuqing to think that way. But once she arrived, she realized that every student here had talent far better than hers. Their levels were higher than hers, and most importantly, they were all younger than her!
A group of such terrifying geniuses gathered together left Zhu Zhuqing stunned, completely reshaping her understanding of the Soul Master world.
She had become the oldest and weakest, with the least impressive talent!
"Now that the academy's name is decided, even though the academy is still under construction, we can't slack off on cultivation. But there's no need to be too diligent. After two months, once the academy is completed, we'll start formal cultivation and training!"
"Understood!"
"Yes!"
"Got it!"
Everyone responded.
"Alright, everyone can go do what they need to do."
Soon, everyone dispersed.
Ye Wen approached Da Ming and Er Ming alone. "You need to tell Xiao Wu everything about us."
"Okay, Boss."
Then, Da Ming and Er Ming told Xiao Wu about their identities as soul beasts.
After hearing this, Xiao Wu was stunned. She had suspected many things before, and now everything made sense.
