Heaven Dou Imperial Academy's board of education was located at the heart of the main campus, in the entire main campus, it was the largest building. Although it was still a single story construction, it was still ten meters at its highest point, giving somewhat of a Spirit Hall feeling.
Being newcomers, whether it was the Shrek Academy teachers or the Shrek Seven Devils, they were all led here by Qin Ming. Regardless of the good conditions, this was after all not Shrek Academy, not considered their place, naturally they couldn't be as unconstrained as before.
Although Flender all along had a smiling expression, after so many years of freedom, in his heart he was still somewhat bitter. While Shrek Academy was small, he was still its dean. While Heaven Dou Imperial Academy was even better, it still didn't have that kind of familiarity like home.
However, Flender's mood very quickly eased a lot. As their party entered the gate to the board of education's courtyard, the three elders already waited there since earlier.
The three elders were all attired in black robes, on which were embroidered some fantastic designs in golden thread. This kind of robe wasn't exclusive to them, but rather were received from Spirit Hall by eightieth rank and over Spirit Douluo title Spirit Masters, custom made formal robes representing their status. Second only to Title Douluo's red ceremonial robes.
Generally speaking, this kind of ceremonial robes were very rarely worn by Spirit Douluo and Title Douluo. It represented not only their status, but also solemnity. This kind of exclusive custom made clothes would only appear when dueling an equally leveled opponent, or for extremely important occasions. And since these three elders wearing these robes right now naturally wasn't for a fight, then, it could only prove one point: that they attached a great deal of importance to the Shrek Academy members. Moreover, these three elders were personally greeting them at the door.
Flender increased his pace, a few steps forward, as he stopped, he already held both hands clasped over shoulder level, slightly bowing
"Shrek Academy, Flender, spirit: Owl, agility attack system seventy eighth rank seven ring Battle Spirit Emperor, I greet the seniors."
In the Spirit Master world, this kind of action was the etiquette of a younger generation meeting seniors. Although Flender also was more than fifty years old, facing these three more than eighty year old elders, his courtesy of a junior didn't count as much.
The elder in the center laughed out loud, coming forward to meet him with big strides, pulling down Flender's raised hands,
"There is no need to be so polite, dean Flender, we have been looking forward to meeting you for a long time, truly for a long time! Able to obtain the guidance of all the teachers of the monster academy in person, you bring light to our humble institution. I am the head of administration, Meng Shen-Ji, spirit: Black Goblin, control system eighty sixth ranked eight ring Battle Spirit Douluo. I'll give you introductions."
While speaking, Meng Shen-Ji indicated the old man to his left, saying
"This is the board of education's second member, Spirit Douluo Bai Baoshan. Spirit: Heaven Star Furnace, defense system eighty fifth ranked eight ring Battle Spirit Douluo."
Meng Shen-Ji indicated the other old man, saying
"This is the board of education's third member, Zhi Lin Spirit Douluo, spirit: Sky Blue Vine, control system eighty third ranked eight ring Tool Spirit Douluo."
Flender also hastily introduced Shrek Academy's teachers. As for the Shrek students, they were after all students, and he didn't say much. But Flender noticed that these three board of education senior staff were even more interested in the Shrek students than in them. Meng Shen-Ji said
"No need to be polite, finally coming here, treat it like your own home. Please, come inside."
Host and guests took their seats across from each other, since there weren't many chairs in the board of education, the Shrek students could only stand behind the teachers. Right now other than JoyBoy who was standing behind the Shrek Seven Devils, everyone else's gazes were excited, after all, sitting in front of them were three Spirit Douluo level powers.
Meng Shen-Ji let servants serve tea and pastries, his gaze sweeping across those Shrek Seven Devils, smiling saying
"We heard from Qin Ming that these children defeated our institution's Emperor Team. Truly astonishing, the monster academy sure enough is a place where monsters gather. Qin Ming's accomplishments already amazed me, but I still didn't expect your institution to cultivate this many geniuses."
Flender smiled wryly, saying
"The Shrek Academy has already ceased to exist."
Meng Shen-Ji firmly said
"No, take a look at these children behind you, their accomplishments hereafter, until successfully graduating the Shrek Academy, will all along belong to Shrek. Qin Ming already explained it very clearly to us. Everyone coming to our humble institution this time is our honor.
Unless all you teachers wish for it, the Academy will not assign any teaching duties to you. Here you are all at your liberty, if there is anything you need then don't hesitate to ask, as long as it's within the limits of my authority, just say it."
On the side of the three board of education members, Spirit Douluo Zhi Lin suddenly asked
"I heard from teacher Qin Ming that at your institution is an especially outstanding control system Spirit Master, who would that be?"
Grandmaster calmly smiled, saying
"Talent isn't enough. Tang San."
Tang San responded, stepping forward from the Shrek Seven Devils, respectfully saluting the three Spirit Douluo
"Greetings three teachers."
Zhi Lin smiled faintly, the air around his body suddenly distorting. The others didn't feel anything, but Tang San clearly found the air around his body seemed to congeal, tremendous spirit power fluctuations rushing out, his body already completely unable to move.
The Shrek Academy members naturally all knew what Spirit Douluo Zhi Lin was doing, but nobody said anything; Zhi Lin testing Tang San was like an enrollment exam. Flender had foreseen that this would happen, and also let these Heaven Dou Imperial Academy senior staff take a look at how outstanding the disciple he had fostered was.
Zhi Lin's originally gentle gaze gradually became astounded. With his strength he immediately determined that Tang San's spirit power was around the thirty third rank, proving that Qin Ming hadn't been flattering his accomplishments.
Furthermore, Tang San's body had an endurance that didn't belong to a thirty third ranked Spirit Master. Faced with his pressure, he unexpectedly didn't show any signs of pain.
As a matter of fact, the pressure he used was something that a thirtieth level Spirit Master should find somewhat difficult to endure.
That symbolic black robe Spirit Douluo Zhi Lin wore didn't shift, and although he simply sat there, Tang San still clearly felt the pressure around him increasing bit by bit.
This Spirit Douluo was extremely conscientious, afraid that Tang San would be unable to endure a sudden increase in strength, under his accurate control, his spirit power was only gradually increasing. Once Tang San showed any signs of being unable to endure, he would also immediately withdraw the force.
Tang San naturally also understood this control system Spirit Douluo was testing his strength. In front of Flender, Grandmaster and the other Shrek Academy members, he knew he wasn't just representing himself, but rather the whole Shrek Academy.
Therefore, even though the surrounding pressure grew greater and greater, and the Mysterious heaven skill pressure within his body also worked faster and faster, he didn't display the slightest bit of a pained expression.
As the pressure grew greater and greater, Sky Blue Vine Spirit Douluo Zhi Lin grew more and more astonished. How couldn't he see Tang San was using willpower combined with his physical strength to withstand the spirit power pressure, but so far he unexpectedly hadn't been able to get this child to release his spirit. Tang San by far already surpassed his expectations.
Seeing Tang San nod slightly, Zhi Lin's robe no longer fluctuated with spirit power, rather quietly recovered to normal. Seeing this, the other two Spirit Douluo at his side also couldn't help be astonished, the three of them had been together for a very long time, naturally they understood just how much spirit power Zhi Lin was using right now.
The two Spirit Douluo couldn't help show a concerned expression, although they knew Zhi Lin was a person who would act appropriately, just the chance of injuring this kid was bad.
Along with the spirit power fluctuations in the air gradually growing more intense, Flender, Zhao Wuji and the others gradually also grew nervous, sitting straight, staring fixedly at Tang San for fear that any accident would occur.
Only Grandmaster still leaned back in his chair, sipping tea, calmly observing the scene without the slightest hint of concern.
The spirit power pressure Zhi Lin released had already increased past thirty fifth rank to thirty sixth rank, immediately followed by thirty seventh, thirty eighth, thirty ninth. As the power of his spirit power pressure finally increased to around the fortieth rank or so, Tang San finally revealed a trace of suffering. His face showed a slight change, and he with some effort raised his right hand.
Blue light flickered, and Blue Silver grass burst from his palm like a blossoming flower, drifting in the air, forming an enormous cage, enveloping Tang San within. Blue purple luster flourished, all the Blue Silver Grass swaying in the air. With each swaying motion the air produced a kind of peculiar feeling, as if even the air moved along rhythmically.
The round cage surrounded Tang San, between each strand of Blue Silver Grass was only slight cracks. Along with each of their gentle oscillations, Zhi Lin was amazed to discover that the pressure he issued seemed as if it was pushing against something elastic; along with Blue Silver Grass light movements, the pressure he put on Tang San weakened a lot.
To be precise, it was the pressure he put on Tang San that was reduced. This child unexpectedly had so many surprises, the three Spirit Douluo's amazed expressions gradually grew pleased.
With the pressure eased, Tang San's expression naturally also recovered to normal. But these circumstances made Spirit Douluo Zhi Lin withdraw his intent to stop the test. The spirit power pressure increased another step, and this time it also grew stronger at a faster pace than before.
Pu——, the Blue Silver Grass surrounding him scattered outward, Tang San's whole body shivering a moment. His appearance was once again visible to everyone. However, as they saw at him, they all couldn't help but start with alarm. Even JoyBoy was surprised.
Right now Tang San's body had unexpectedly swollen one size, and on his back the external spirit bone Eight Spider Lances already released excitedly, the purple lustrous Eight Spider Lances softly moving rhythmically behind Tang San's back like wings, that spider web like pattern had appeared on Tang San's forehead, and this time was especially clear.
Tang San's expression was relaxed, breathing in that layer of white mist around him through his nose like rivers flowing into the sea, again breathing it out through his mouth. With each repetition, the white mist seemed to increase somewhat, and Tang San's body would also expand even more.
"Spirit bone?"
The three Heaven Dou Imperial Academy Spirit Douluo practically simultaneously cried out in alarm, Zhi Lin immediately stopped pressuring Tang San, they naturally saw that Tang San had now already hit his limit. Increasing the pressure might even kill him.
The tips of Eight Spider Lances gradually turned white, this white color was seeping out from within Eight Spider Lances. Tang San's body didn't change at all from the disappearance of the external pressure, still constantly inhaling and exhaling that white vapor.
"Many thanks for helping with the completion, Spirit Douluo Zhi Lin."
Grandmaster stood up with a smile on his face, bowing to Zhi Lin. Zhi Lin stared blankly.
"Completion? What completion?"
Even as a Spirit Douluo level formidable Spirit Master he didn't understand what the problem was with Tang San's body right now, and was still inwardly nervous. Grandmaster smiled slightly, saying
"Since Tang San this child obtained this external spirit bone, even though his strength has increased a lot, he has never been able to truly harmonize with it. Under Spirit Douluo Zhi Lin's pressure, I think that this time he is finally fusing with his external spirit bone, leaving no separation, the external spirit bone becoming a part of his body, and no longer 'external'."
Hearing the words 'external spirit bone', the three Spirit Douluo practically simultaneously stood up from their seats, and Qin Ming leapt up as if his seat was on fire.
"This-, is this really an external spirit bone?"
Meng Shen-Ji's voice trembled severely. Grandmaster nodded, saying
"I'm certain. However, I'll ask the board to keep it secret. Although the external spirit bone is already fused with Tang San's body and won't be released after his death like other spirit bones, but treasuring a jade ring may become a crime even for innocent men. I still don't wish for him to face too formidable opponents as he matures."
"We understand, don't worry, we swear on our spirits, we absolutely will not divulge this to anyone."
The expression in Meng Shen-Ji's eyes was gratitude. The reason was very simple: the Shrek group hadn't concealed the matter of Tang San's external spirit bone from them, this point alone proved how much they valued Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.
An external spirit bone really was too precious. Should some vicious formidable Spirit Masters learn of it, they absolutely wouldn't leave Tang San room to grow. JoyBoy wasn't surprised by their reaction and knew what they were thinking.
He knew from the novel just how far the spirit hall could go, even against kids.
In fact, how was Grandmaster such a careless person; he had long before even coming here made meticulous investigations about Heaven Dou Imperial Academy. These three Spirit Douluo were all revered in the Spirit World as kind hearted seniors, otherwise he wouldn't so easily have exposed Tang San's secret.
After a brief moment of shock the three Spirit Douluo gradually calmed, but Qin Ming clearly lacked a bit in inner qualities, and was still extremely agitated. Meng Shen-Ji loosed a long breath.
"I didn't expect, I truly didn't expect, that in our Spirit Master world there would be such a genius. I truly am happy to have met all of you here today."
Flender equally loosed a breath, shooting Grandmaster an inquisitive look. Grandmaster lightly nodded to him, hinting there would be no problems with Tang San. Flender then said to Meng Shen-Ji
"We dare not take credit for this child's capabilities, he's Grandmaster's direct disciple. Moreover, his own innate talent is exceptionally outstanding. In our Shrek Academy's history, these eight children are all the most gifted by heaven. Not only Tang San, but each of the others also have their own talent.
The reason we chose to come to Heaven Dou Imperial Academy wasn't to let their talents be buried, but in the hopes that here they would be able to fully develop their talent with the best cultivation environments. They are the last class of Shrek Academy, and as dean, I truly hope to one day see their capabilities as Title Douluo, far surpassing my own achievements."
Right now Flender's eyes didn't hold a hint of deviousness, filled with sincerity. Meng Shen-Ji nodded to Flender
"Dean Flender, be at ease. We three guarantee you that we will provide these children with the best cultivation facilities here, to the best of our ability. The best cultivation facilities, and anything else you ask for. Even if in the future they don't want to fight on behalf of Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, it still doesn't matter. Just imagine, one day, as they stand at the summit of the Spirit Master world, if their records would hold the name Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, this is already enough to satisfy us."
Flender stood up, bowing courteously to the three Spirit Douluo
"Thank you seniors."
At this moment, a long groan attracted everyone's attention, just in time to see Tang San spit out a dense white mist, no longer as faint as before, as if it had congealed. Breathing out from the mouth, again inhaling through the nose, the red tone of Tang San's skin had already completely vanished, as had the swelling. It seemed he had entirely recovered to normal.
As the white mist was completely inhaled, Tang San gradually opened his eyes. Eight Spider Lances withdrew into Tang San's back in practically the space of a breath, compared to before, this speed was several times faster.
Unfortunately, the clothes on his back were shredded. This was perhaps the one fault of Eight Spider Lances. JoyBoy knew that someone as frugal as Tang San still regretted the loss of the clothes.
Tang San noticed everyone's attention on him, and first calmly bowed to the three Spirit Douluo, and without saying anything, with a guileless expression walked over behind Grandmaster.
Meng Shen-Ji said
"Then this matter is settled. Teacher Qin, we'll trouble you to arrange it."
Qin Ming hastily nodded in agreement. His gaze constantly followed Tang San; besides surprise, it was even more out of envy. They were both geniuses, but his brilliance was already eclipsed by Tang San's external spirit bone.
Just as the Shrek Academy group was taking their leave to return to their own courtyard, footsteps suddenly echoed outside, seemingly from two people.
"Isn't principal Meng Shen-Ji here?"
Meng Shen-Ji looked distracted a moment, he naturally heard who the owner of this voice was, and wondered in his heart, 'why would he come?' Hurriedly standing up, walking out to greet him, ordering the two other board members to follow behind him. The expressions of the two seemed to change slightly.
Very quickly, three people entered from outside. The Shrek Academy group had met one of them before, it was that youth Dai Mubai had sent flying with a kick below the mountain yesterday.
Right now that youth stood on the left with an arrogant expression, his eyes revealing an intense resentment.
Walking in the middle was a magnificently dressed old man. This person wore a large yellow gown, crowded with embroidered brocade that didn't seem messy in the least. Grizzled hair neatly combed back, medium height, a slightly heavy frame, and a majestic appearance.
Only his eyes seemed a bit small, breaking the harmonious feeling of the facial features. Standing upright with his hands clasped behind his back, even though he was confronting the three Spirit Douluo board members he wasn't the slightest bit deferential, but rather had an attitude of looking down on them.
Seeing these three appear, the Shrek Academy group first felt surprise. Not because of their appearance, but rather because of the third person on the right.
The person standing on the magnificently dressed old man's right side was another old man, but distinctly different from the magnificently dressed old man. This person was slim like a spear, both hair and beard unexpectedly deep green, with a pair of eyes even more like flickering beryl.
This man's face was expressionless, or perhaps it should be said his expression was completely rigid. Sunken cheeks, the green hair disheveled, wearing only simple and unadorned gray robes, forming a clear cut contrast to the magnificently dressed man at his side.
This man's hands were both tucked into his sleeves. On entering the hall he simply closed his eyes, without even glancing at anyone.
"Lord prince, why have you come?"
Meng Shen-Ji stepped forward and bowed slightly, saluting the magnificently dressed old man. But whether it was him or the other two Spirit Douluo, their gazes were all fixed on that green haired man. This was a person even they couldn't see the limits of.
The magnificently dressed old man smiled calmly, his gaze sweeping across the Shrek Academy group. Xue Beng at his side hastily said something in a low voice next to the magnificently dressed man's ear. The magnificently dressed old man then said
"What? Does the board members have visitors? Won't you introduce Us?"
Meng Shen-Ji frowned minutely. Even though this was a prince, with their position in the Spirit Master world, even a prince shouldn't be so unreasonable. But this person was the person in charge of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, they couldn't offend him.
Meng Shen-Ji smiled slightly, inviting the three into the hall. By now, the Shrek Academy group had all already stood up. Meng Shen-Ji said
"Your highness, I will introduce you. This is Shrek Academy's dean, Flender. Here this time to consult on collaborating on a matter. Dean Flender, this is his highness the Heaven Dou Empire's prince Xue Xing, the Imperial Academy is currently under his highness' administration."
Although Flender wasn't too interested in this arrogant prince, he still slightly bowed
"Greetings, your highness."
While one of the most important events from the novel was happening in front of his eyes, JoyBoy was observing everything and everyone including their facial expressions upto the tiniest detail.
After observing the two princes in front of him, he was able to analyze that they were just acting to kick them out in order to weaken the fake crown prince. Even though he had knowledge from the novel, he was glad that his ability to read people was getting better every day.
From Xue Beng's facial expressions to his eyes and even his facial muscles, JoyBoy was able to easily observe them all and noticed just from those that Xue Beng was just faking everything. JoyBoy noticed the same with the other older prince.
Right now JoyBoy was feeling lucky that he had information about anime and novel from previous life. If he didn't know about the situation in the Imperial family and the spirit hall, even if he didn't join the spirit hall, after today's events, with his intelligence, he would have realized what was happening and would have asked Grandmaster and Flender to contact the crown prince and get his support.
He observed how the third person suppressed everyone and when he released his spirit rings, Grandmaster was able to identify him.
"With the distinguished name Dugu, and the fishy oppressive smell. If I'm not mistaken, your distinguished self should be the poison titled senior Poison Douluo Dugu Bo."
Grandmaster stepped forward, obstructing the Shrek Academy teachers whose eyes burned with fury, speaking to the green haired old man.
"Ha ha ha ha."
The green haired old man laughed
"I didn't expect there would actually be someone who remembered me. Correct, I'm Dugu Bo. Since you know my name, will you still not get lost?"
JoyBoy was sure that he would have fought this Title Douluo if he didn't have knowledge about anime, novels, comics especially Marvel and DC. He had information about characters like The Batman who laughs, God Emperor Doom, Sousuke Aizen, Juhabach and Uchiha Madara and he knew that their greatest abilities were planning and patience. Each of these characters were overpowered in their own worlds but what made them truly scary was their ability to make long term plans and then follow it to the end no matter how long it takes while hiding or acting low key.
Since JoyBoy had already made plans for his future and had already decided that he would try to not interfere with the events in the novel as much as possible until the Shrek Seven Devils become Gods, he didn't do anything and only observed everything silently with a serious expression. He was hoping that everything would go according to novel and his friends and teachers will remain safe.
Grandmaster's expression was still calm. He unexpectedly nodded earnestly
"Fine, we'll get lost. Flender, we're getting lost."
Having said this, he raised a hand to pull Flender away. Flender tore himself free, throwing off Grandmaster's hand, a cold harsh light in his eyes
"Xiao Gang, I can't let Shrek suffer disgrace like this."
Grandmaster angrily said
"Even if you don't fear death, don't tell me you think everyone wants to follow you to die together? Title Douluo, how are you capable of contending against that? If you were also a Title Douluo, you could also casually have people get lost. But you're not. Even if we old creatures didn't fear death, don't tell me you would let the children run off to be destroyed together with you? Poison Douluo is the most malicious under heaven. Do you think his attack would only be directed at you alone?"
Having said this, Grandmaster turned to the three Spirit Douluo board members
"I'm sorry, seniors. Let's drop the matter from today on. But we will never forget the enthusiastic feelings of the seniors' reception. I'm sure we'll meet again."
"Wait a moment."
A strict light appeared in Meng Shen-Ji's eyes, staring fixedly at that Poison Douluo with nine glittering spirit rings
"Dugu Bo, let us three old fellows experience your poison."
Heaven Star Furnace Spirit Douluo Bai Baoshan and Sky Blue Vine Spirit Douluo Zhi Lin separately stepped up behind Meng Shen-Ji. The three simultaneously released a tyrannical pressure.
Meng Shen-Ji's body in a flash became unreal, the entire person transforming into a pitch black empty shadow, with black mist rising from below, two yellow, three purple and three black, eight spirit rings blossomed simultaneously.
In Heaven Star Furnace Spirit Douluo Bai Baoshan's palm appeared an ancient stove shining with golden light, on the surface were altogether seven silver stars, releasing flickering light. Spirit rings of the same quality as Meng Shen-Ji glittered, congealing into a thick atmosphere covering his whole body.
Over Sky Blue Vine Spirit Douluo Zhi Lin appeared only one Sky Blue Vine, but that vine's color sparkled like emerald, faint blue gas released from him, pervading his whole body.
The three Spirit Douluo shielded the Shrek Academy group behind them, and Poison Douluo Dugu Bo also automatically protected prince Xue Xing and fourth prince Xue Beng from the assault of the pressure. In a moment, the great battle was on the verge of starting.
Even though Dugu Yan's strength was matchless, confronting three Spirit Douluo together he still didn't dare be careless. His dark green eyes finally revealed a somewhat serious stare.
"Board members, what are you doing?"
Prince Xue Xing's angry voice hid his fear. Right now he was inwardly already regretful. These three board members were after all eightieth level powers, in no small measure valued by the Heaven Dou Emperor. On the off chance they were truly struck down, he wouldn't be able to take responsibility for the fallout.
"Prince Xue Xing, you obstinately cling to your course, after today, we three elders will definitely impeach you before His Majesty, and have him render judgement."
Meng Shen-Ji said furiously.
"Let it be."
Flender sighed inwardly, slowly unclenching his fist, the eyes hidden behind the crystal glasses once again becoming calm. He lightly saluted the three Spirit Douluo
"I didn't expect it coming here this time, but we've brought the seniors this kind of trouble, Flender is ashamed. Since Heaven Dou Imperial Academy is unwilling to keep us, how can we ask for it? Even if it didn't work out today, perhaps I cannot be free from worries. Seniors, Flender will come visit some at some later time."
"Dean Flender."
Meng Shen-Ji somewhat anxiously called out.
Flender didn't turn back, leading the Shrek Academy people towards the outside with big strides.
As the Shrek Seven Devils passed that fourth prince Xue Beng, they clearly saw the look of schadenfreude in his eyes. But that prince Xue Xing's head was raised high, as if he didn't even see the Flender's party passing. At this moment, a charming young lady stepped in from outside.
"Grandpa."
On entering, she at once threw herself at Dugu Bo standing there with nine glittering spirit rings.
As the cold faced Dugu Bo saw her, his expression immediately softened, holding out his hands to pull the young lady into a hug, laughing loudly,
"Yan-yan, en, good, you've grown a bit stronger again."
The Shrek Seven Devils were familiar with this young lady, it was precisely the control system Spirit Master of the Emperor Team they fought last time in Suotuo Great Spirit Arena, Dugu Yan.
When they saw Dugu Yan throw herself into her grandfather's bosom, she naturally saw them as well. When her gaze fell on Tang San, her face clearly changed as she hugged Dugu Bo's neck and whispered a few sentences into his ear.
When Dugu Bo raised his head again, the entire Shrek Academy delegation had already walked out of the hall. His gaze though rested briefly on Tang San's back as a small smile appeared on his mouth. Apparently what Dugu Yan had said made her break out into a smile, like a spoiled child in Dugu Bo's bosom.
After going through all that, at the base of the mountain, no one in Shrek Academy's party said anything. Qin Ming quickly followed them, also only walking behind Flender, not saying a word. But from his ashen face, one could see how poor his current mood was.
Reaching the bottom of the mountain, they once again saw the clear lake at the foot of the mountain. However this time, no one in Shrek Academy's party was in the mood to appreciate the scenery.
"Dean, it would be better if we made Shrek academy big again."
The one who said this was Dai Mubai. Flender stopped walking, raised his head towards the sky. Despite the glare of the sun, his heart was feeling cold. Dai Mubai said,
"You always refuse to receive help from the students, I can understand. However, right now, even if we were struggling for breath we still can't just drop this subject. Be at ease, I will not use money from my home to help the school. Us eight are Shrek students, and naturally should help our Shrek Academy.
We can go participate in Spirit fight competitions. As we are a gold level Spirit fighter team, we can absolutely make enough profit for the school. If you let us represent the school, there will be a day when we make Heaven Dou Imperial Academy regret their actions today."
Dai Mubai was Shrek student's oldest, and once he spoke those words, the rest of Shrek students all nodded their heads including JoyBoy who had his usual smile back on his face, expressing approval. Grandmaster sighed, and grabbed Flender's shoulder
"Flender, I'm sorry. This is my fault."
Flender shook his head
"This has nothing to do with you. It is our unceasing bad luck. I don't know why, but right now I don't even have the slightest feeling of punishing the school. Perhaps, it's because I've grown tired over the years."
Zhao Wuji asked
"Then what should we do now?"
Ning Rongrong said
"It would be better to go to my family's castle. From here our Seven Treasure Glazed Tiles Castle isn't far."
Flender shook his head
"Forget it, I don't feel like relying on other people's charity. Rongrong, thank you for your good intentions."
Ning Rongrong pressed on
"Dean, don't worry, my family is in no way like Heaven Dou Academy. As you know, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tiles school is very welcoming towards any Spirit Master. If anyone says anything to you, I definitely will not let them go. Even if it is a Poison Douluo, heng, wait until I go tell Uncle Jian and Uncle Gu Tou to come out and beat his teeth out."
Flender's eyes gradually softened. He knew that his decision right now didn't just impact himself, but also these Shrek Academy teachers and students. After collecting his thoughts, he once again took on the spirit of a dean.
"How about this; since we've already come this far, we can try resting at that Heaven Dou Empire capital. As for what we do next, we can talk about it later."
Just then, Qin Ming suddenly stepped forward and he kneeled in front of Flender.
"Dean, this is my fault, please punish me."
Flender hastily pulled him up
"Qin Ming, what are you doing? How could I not know what you feelings towards Shrek Academy are? For you to follow us is enough proof that you hold Shrek Academy in the most important regard. It should be us saying sorry for ruining your future prospects."
Qin Ming bitterly laughed
"Future prospects? If it was not for the teaching I received, how would I have a future? I have hands and feet so don't tell me that I won't be able to survive if I leave Heaven Dou Imperial Academy. I will bring everyone to Heaven Dou city.
What junior Dai said earlier I approve of; I really do believe in reopening Shrek Academy again. Dean, Shrek Academy will forever be my home, and if one of us does not wish for that, they can leave. If you really are tired, we can help you rebuild the school."
Flender nodded his head looking at the other teachers
"Let's go, we will go to Heaven Dou City and look for a place to stay first."
