Ling Yun swaggered to the Inner Courtyard entrance, where four Spirit Ancestor level guards were currently stationed.
Because Shrek Academy had a rule that students could graduate once they reached level 40.
In other words, all the students currently in the Academy were below level 40. Stationing four Spirit Ancestors between levels 40-49 here basically meant there was no fear of students causing trouble.
When Ling Yun reached the entrance, he was immediately stopped. A level 48 Spirit Ancestor with a full beard lazily said to him,
"Kid, this is the Inner Courtyard area. Only students who registered initially and were accepted into the Inner Courtyard after being recognized by the Academy can enter.
If you want to enter, please show your Inner Courtyard student identification. If not, please leave immediately."
Although the "Tang San" persona was the personal disciple of Vice-Dean Yu Xiaogang,
not all Shrek Academy teachers or other staff recognized him.
So Ling Yun was not annoyed by being stopped by the guards.
Instead, he planned to use his mental force to communicate with Puppet Yu Xiaogang and have him personally come to pick him up.
Just then, the six people he had encountered earlier walked over, their eyes filled with schadenfreude as they looked at Ling Yun.
"Kid, got stumped, didn't you? This is the Inner Courtyard; it's not a place just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can enter."
"Exactly, kid. If the Inner Courtyard were that easy to get into, wouldn't all six of us be Inner Courtyard students?"
"See our Boss Zhao? He's one of the more than three hundred people who got into the Inner Courtyard. It's not just about hard work; it depends on natural talent…"
Five of the six Outer Courtyard students mocked Ling Yun, occasionally praising the Inner Courtyard student with admiring expressions.
Zhao Heng felt lightheaded from the flattery of the five, even feeling as if he could take flight if he stepped on the ground.
Ling Yun rolled his eyes. Hadn't he just overheard their conversation earlier?
How did he manage to provoke these six guys? They were so annoyingly noisy.
Ling Yun even began to suspect if these six guys had some kind of serious mental illness.
He ignored the six guys and directly used his mental force to communicate with Puppet Yu Xiaogang, asking him to come to the Inner Courtyard entrance to pick him up.
After the communication, Ling Yun stretched, leaned against the dividing wall between the Inner Courtyard and Outer Courtyard, and waited silently.
The six saw that Ling Yun was young but put on quite an act, daring to ignore them. They were so annoyed they felt stifled.
No matter what, all six of them were intermediate-grade students, each possessing twenty to thirty levels of spirit power, which was far more powerful than this kid.
Yet, Ling Yun, as a low-grade student, was so arrogant that he didn't even say "Hello, Senior" when he saw them.
Seeing Ling Yun's unappreciative demeanor, Zhao Heng walked directly over and heavily patted him on the shoulder a few times.
"Hey, kid, you don't even say hello to us Seniors when you see us. Isn't that a bit too impolite?
I'm from the Inner Courtyard. As long as you call me Senior, I'll look out for you in Shrek Academy from now on."
After he finished speaking, he pulled out a silver card from his in my arms. On it were the five large characters "Shrek Academy" and the Shrek Academy emblem.
He wore the silver card on his chest, then straightened his back, walked into the Inner Courtyard entrance, and then walked out again.
After several back and forths, the four guards gave him looks as if he were an idiot.
But this guy was clearly oblivious. He returned to Ling Yun's front triumphantly and gave himself a thumbs-up.
"See? This is my Inner Courtyard student identification. You can only enter and exit the Inner Courtyard with this."
Ling Yun curled his lip in disdain. It wasn't as if he didn't know about this silver card.
This was precisely the Academy card that Ling Yun had suggested to Flender and Liu Erlong to design, based on his experience with school ID cards in his previous life.
Outer Courtyard students uniformly wore iron Academy cards, while Inner Courtyard students wore silver Academy cards.
As for the top students of each grade in the Academy, they would wear golden Academy cards. This could accurately distinguish the students' status and was also a means of motivating students.
Especially the chief Academy card made of gold, wearing this card itself represented a peerless status within the same grade.
Coupled with the Academy's significant subsidies and privileges for the chief students of each grade, it would be a miracle if these students didn't desperately strive to become chief.
Seeing Ling Yun curl his lip in disdain, Zhao Heng became displeased. Even his noble Inner Courtyard status couldn't earn him a "Senior" from this kid.
For him, this was unbearable. He raised his hand, intending to give this six or seven-year-old kid a profound lesson.
Just then, an angry shout came from the direction of the Inner Courtyard.
"Stop! Who allowed you to act so recklessly in the Inner Courtyard?"
Zhao Heng immediately felt his hand being grabbed, and a huge force came from the other person's hand, making it a luxury for him to even pull his hand back.
The six people all shifted their gaze behind them, only to find Vice-Dean Yu standing behind them, tightly gripping Zhao Heng's hand that was about to strike.
Seeing Puppet Yu Xiaogang's furious expression, the six were all intimidated. Why would Vice-Dean Yu personally come out of the Inner Courtyard?
Could it be to pick up this kid? No, absolutely impossible, it must be a coincidence, absolutely a coincidence!
The six still remembered that day when Vice-Dean Yu merely snapped his fingers, and a thirty-meter-long three-headed dragon Spirit suddenly appeared.
This three-headed dragon Spirit emitted a dragon's might that could suffocate all the teachers and students in the entire Academy, that feeling of being supreme in heaven and on earth, giving them the urge to prostrate themselves in worship.
Now, Vice-Dean Yu's sudden appearance here made them instinctively feel fear.
"Vice, Vice Dean, why, why are you here? Please don't misunderstand, I was just introducing our Shrek Academy to this junior…"
Zhao Heng stammered, declaring that he had no ill intentions, especially when he saw Puppet Yu Xiaogang's angry eyes, he felt guilty.
"My personal disciple, needs your guidance? Do you think I'm dead, or do you think my teaching methods are inferior to yours?"
Puppet Yu Xiaogang snorted coldly, questioning Zhao Heng with an ill-tempered expression.
"Wha, what?" The six subconsciously looked at Ling Yun, their faces filled with shock.
This kid, who looked only six or seven years old, was also the Vice Dean's personal disciple? What in the world was going on?
The six couldn't help but recall that the Vice Dean had once said he had two personal disciples: one was a little girl whose first spirit ring was at the thousand-year level.
And there was another personal disciple whose first spirit ring was at the ten-thousand-year level. Could it be this kid in front of them?
Thinking of this, the six couldn't help but exchange glances. If that were truly the case, then they had just been struck by lightning for showing off…
