Nearly six weeks had pa.s.sed since Sheng Feilong had absorbed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion"s Artificial Skull Soul Bone and his Spirit Eyes underwent a Second Awakening. Nothing to drastic happened and Sheng Feilong"s daily life pretty much returned to normal. As he had already graduated the Heaven Dou Intermediate Academy and Shrek Academy would only have its entrance exam in another two weeks, Sheng Feilong spent nearly all of his time at the Spirit PaG.o.da or at the Bao Brother"s Mecha Workshop.Song Weihan had drastically revised Sheng Feilong"s training plan after the latest tests of the latter"s Spirit Power and physical strength. Other than putting a total ban on Spirit Power training, Song Weihan also increased the intensity of Sheng Feilong"s physical training by another notch and prepared more valuable Soul treasure for him to consume. Because of the incredible increase in Sheng Feilong Spirit Power after fusing with the Soul Bone and the second Awakening of his Spirit Eyes, his body could no longer endure his own Spirit Power for a long time. If not for the significant increase in physical strength, Sheng Feilong might have died from the imbalance already.
During those 6 weeks, Song Weihan only made one exception in the ban of Sheng Feilong"s Spirit Power; That was when Sheng Feilong underwent the examination to become a rank 5 Mecha Maker. By now, Sheng Feilong had already created his own Purple Mecha from scratch with the blueprints of Bao Zha. According to Bao Li, who had overseen Sheng Feilong"s examination, the Mecha he build was even above military standards! After the official procedures, Sheng Feilong officially became the youngest Rank 5 Mecha Maker of the Douluo Continent, shocking experts all around.
Sheng Feilong was currently on his way to his Masters office. They would do another test to see how much Sheng Feilong"s physique had caught up to his Spirit Power. Of course, they would also check his Spirit Power to make sure nothing changed. Luckily for them, Sheng Feilong"s Spirit Power of 4.735 was incredibly stable. The Artificial Soul Bone was stabilizing it so they didn"t have to worry too much about anything happening to Sheng Feilong, while the Soul Bone was continuously strengthened by the excess Spirit Power. As long as Sheng Feilong did not actively train his Spirit Power, it would mostly remain stale.
About an hour later, Sheng Feilong and Song Weihan sat inside Song Weihan"s office again. Song Weihan was looking through the test results with a serious expression, while Sheng Feilong patiently waited for him to finish. After a while, Song weihan leaned back in his seat with a slight smile, while Sheng Feilong looked at him with an eager expression.
"The test results are positive. During those 6 weeks, your body has strengthened considerably. With your current physique, you"ll be able to endure the pressure from you own Spirit Power, even in combination with you Soul Skills. Like this, I permit you to take the Shrek Entrance Exam in two weeks time."
Sheng Feilong"s expression brightened into a bright smile and he excitedly jumped up and down from joy. With his Spirit Power, cultivation level and now even physical strength, he was sure he"d be admitted into Shrek Academy without a hitch! Just as he was happily laughing, he heard Song Weihan"s serious voice again.
"However! You are still not allowed to train your Spirit Power even if you get admitted to Shrek. You have to reach the level of a Spirit Ancestor, a level 40 plus Soul Master, before you train it again. And you"ll come back to do another series of tests before doing it. This is not as simple as an annoying headache from time to time, and you should know that best."
Sheng Feilong flinched when he heard Song Weihan"s words and awkwardly scratched his head with a hand.
"Yes, I know, Master. I was just excited because you always said you wouldn"t let me go before... I won"t train my Spirit Power unless I have you approval!" Song Weihan nodded solemnly, before cracking a smile at Sheng Feilong, who was fidgeting around, impatiently waiting to be allowed to leave for today. Song Weihan dismissively waved at him before burying his head in another doc.u.ment.
"Go already. You can"t let your father wait forever."
Sheng Feilong hurriedly bowed and left Song Weihan"s office. After he was gone, Song Weihan"s smile slowly vanished and was replaced with a frown as he put down the doc.u.ment in his hands; it was a report from his subordinates, that were send after the ones he had investigate the Sheng Clan. About a week after they set off, Song Weihan lost contact with them and had not heard of them since then. He sent another team to the Sheng Clan, but their Patriarch told them, that they had already given copies of all their family histories records to the ones that came before. Song Weihan let out a small sigh before taking up another doc.u.ment and silently muttering to himself.
"Old Zhou, you better not have let anything happen to you... What would I tell your wife?"

About one and a half weeks later, Sheng Feilong, Sheng Lingtian, Jian w.a.n.g and Jian Wushuang were saying their farewells to Song Weihan, the Bao brothers, Jian Shiguan and her family. They were preparing to head to Shrek City, where Shrek Academy was located and, naturally, the entrance exam would be held. While the Exam would only last a single day, they decided to travel there for a few days total. As for the reason they were saying their farewells to the others, it"s because, if Sheng Feilong and Jian w.a.n.g get admitted into Shrek Academy, they would life on campus and would be unable to return to Heaven Dou City for at least a few months.
Sheng Feilong was having a hard time in particular. He had spent more than half his life with Song Weihan as his Master, training almost daily. Other then Sheng Lingtian, Song Weihan was the closest family Sheng Feilong had and both of them knew that. Song Weihan gently smiled at Sheng Feilong, who had a complicated expression.
"We won"t be able to see each other for some time now, will we?"
He was about to say some more, when Sheng Feilong suddenly rushed at him and tightly hugged him. Song Weihan was stunned for a moment before lightly hugging Sheng Feilong back. He still had the same, calm smile on his face as he continued what he wanted to say before.
"Silly boy. You better get stronger at Shrek Academy, or I"ll have to beat some sense into you once you return. Now go, don"t let the others wait too long."
After a little while, Sheng Feilong let go of Song Weihan and boarded Sheng Lingtian"s Soul Car. Although they could take a Mecha to go to Shrek City, Sheng Lingtian insisted on taking the car, since they"d visit the city for a few days. Sheng Lingtian and Jian Wushuang took the front seats while Jian w.a.n.g and Sheng Feilong sat in the back row; both of them waving towards the family and friends they left behind.
Driving the car through the lands, Sheng Feilong and the others happily conversed among themselves, so their trip wasn"t too boring. When they neared Shrek City, the scenery changed to the better, while the traffic became more and more cramped and chaotic, causing Sheng Lingtian to curse out loud again and again.
Shrek City was the biggest city on the Douluo Continent. While Heaven Dou City was still considered the Federation"s Capital, Shrek City was actually even more splendid and more powerful. This was due to the Shrek Academy. Originally, the city was quite average, but with the increasing influence and improving standing of Shrek Academy over the last 10.000 years, the once average city grew more and more, eventually being renamed to Shrek City to further glorify the Academy.
Due to the traffic, Sheng Feilong and the others reached their destination, a hotel near Shrek Academy, nearly two hours late. When they entered, the lobby alone was already packed with people; mostly children with their parents or guardians. Sheng Feilong guessed that most of them had come to partic.i.p.ate in Shrek Academy"s Entrance Exam. The hotel was already booked out, but luckily Sheng Lingtian made a reservation for them beforehand, thus they still got a room; much to the displeasure of the "influential" people, that had not obtained a room, though no one dared to cause trouble in Shrek City.
After making themselves at home, Sheng Feilong and the others went out to explore the city. Like that, the next few days pa.s.sed with them constantly going on sightseeing trips or shopping in the various stores, stalls or even malls. At last, the day of the Examination finally came. Sheng Feilong and Jian w.a.n.g were the first ones to wake up and quickly got ready for the day. Sheng Lingtian and Jian Wushuang joined them for breakfast before they headed to Shrek Academy.
When they arrived, the huge plaza as already packed with hundreds of people, all of them there to attend the Entrance Exam, while trying to be the first without casing a ruckus. Sheng Feilong and Jian w.a.n.g silently stood in the middle of those people, waiting for their turns. After a while, they finally obtained the paperwork for application after paying a 10.000 Federational Coins fee. It was pretty basic paperwork used for identification and they quickly filled it out.
Two rows were a bit more interesting, though; the first one asking for his Soul Rank: 33! And the last row to be filled on the paperwork; Asking for the applicants Spirit Soul. Sheng Feilong smiled while filling them out; His Spirit Soul wasn"t simply the Spirit Eyes anymore and he had discussed their Second Awakening in detail with Song Weihan and his father. After a long dicussion, they decided on a more fitting name.
Spirit Soul: Radiant Emperor"s Phantasmagoric Eyes!
