Everyone: "..."
Wang Feng turned to Tang San and the Shrek Seven Devils. "Why, are we, the Shrek Seven Devils afraid of a little trouble and bullying?"
Immediately, the Shrek Seven Devils reacted and stepped forward, toward the group of ten youths with determination.
As Dai Mubai and Tang San entered the fray, they refrained from using their soul power, opting instead for old physical beatdown that left the ten individuals with nothing more than bruises and sore cheeks.
However, the attacks were intentionally restrained, and the ten something individual were not seriously injured.
"They're too weak. The Heaven Dou Imperial Academy is probably just an institution for noble's and royalty to graduate from," Wang Feng remarked, shaking his head. "Most of them are likely insignificant individuals who don't know a thing about combat, not worth our attention and time."
"You dare cause trouble in Heaven Dou Imperial Academy? This is a challenge to the empire. Moreover, you dared to claim that I'm your grandfather? Do you know who I am? You're COURTING DEATH!"
The lead young man, nursing a footprint on his abdomen and sporting blue and red eyes, angrily confronted Wang Feng.
"Wait, did I say that?" Wang Feng asked in surprise, "Why don't I remember?"
The leading young man was taken aback, then angrily asserted, "You just said that! You claimed to be my grandpa!"
"I don't believe it. Would you say it again?" Wang Feng asked quickly.
"You are my grandpa!"
"See, this is what you said, and it has nothing to do with me." Wang Feng sighed and said, "Why do you want to be someone else's grandson inexplicably? Have you considered your father's feelings? You are such an unfilial son! If you dare to say that outside, I don't think your father will let you go!"
"...You... you." The young man's face flushed suddenly, and he couldn't say a word.
Everyone looked at Wang Feng speechlessly.
Wang Feng had gas-lighted him, and the young man had unknowingly blurted out the same thing that Wang Feng was egging him to say. Only after finishing his words did he realize how foolish he had been.
At this moment, a strong and authoritative voice rang out: "Who is making noise in Heaven Dou Imperial Academy?"
Upon hearing this voice, the leader young man hastily got up and walked away. From the forest steps in the distance, a vigorous old man, clad in a silver uniform, was swiftly approaching.
"Mr. Sun! Over here, there are a few people trying to forcefully enter the academy. I tried to chase them away but they resorted to violence! You have to handle this!" The young man hurriedly approached and informed the old man.
Mr. Sun, also known as teacher Sun, frowned and scolded, "Xue Beng, look at the mess you've created. It's out of order! Stand aside!"
With that, Mr. Sun walked toward Flender.
As a teacher, this old man is obviously much more stable than the young man.
"My name is Sun Buyu, and I am one of the teacher of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy. I don't know who you all are?" Flender explained the recent events and introduced himself.
Upon hearing this, Sun Buyu's face changed, and he said respectfully, "It turns out to be Dean Flender of Shrek Academy. Teacher Qin Ming informed us a few days ago that he also came from your Shrek Academy. What happened just now was Xue Beng's fault. I apologize to you on behalf of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy. Please follow me."
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. However, Wang Feng secretly shook his head. Although the royal family controls it, the teachers in the academy are not entirely loyal to the royal family. Despite having a strong faculty, most of the students sent in, unlike Yu Tianheng, are not of high caliber.
The group followed Sun Buyu up the steps of the forest and walked towards the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy above.
As they went ahead, the young man looked at the backs of the Shrek Academy group with resentment.
"What dog academy is Shrek Academy? It dares to enter Heaven Dou Imperial Academy after offending me, Xue Beng? If I don't drive them out like stray dogs, I won't be a member of the royalty!"
Slowly walking up the forest trail, the concentration of soul energy continued to get higher. As they ascended, the group could overlook the lake below and the distant forest, experiencing a refreshing sensation.
"Is this the simulated training environment?" Wang Feng wondered.
He frequently practiced in the Star Dou Great Forest, but its dangerous nature made it unsuitable for meditation. Practicing or meditating in this environment would significantly increase one's speed.
Chaos Green Lotus, being a type of plant, could absorb energy more rapidly in this environment. The concept of a simulated training environment involves placing soul masters of different types in similar environments to their martial soul to accelerate their cultivation speed.
"This is truly a good land," Wang Feng remarked.
During the journey, Flender had a brief exchange with teacher Sun Buyu, gaining general information about Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.
"Unfortunately, we won't be here for long." Wang Feng sighed.
His understanding of the Douluo Continent's plot was that Tang San had not joined Heaven Dou Imperial Academy and joined other colleges instead of truly becoming a part of it.
It didn't take long before Sun Buyu brought everyone to the reception room of the college. The main campus seemed sparsely populated, as most students were engaged in training in simulated practice environments.
Soon after Sun Buyu left, Qin Ming arrived. Following some polite exchanges, Qin Ming spoke with a smile.
"I have discussed with the three dean of the academy. They all had agreed with the terms proposed by the dean Flender and yourself. The senior management values you all greatly. I am arranging for you to meet them tomorrow. After a few days of travel, you all must be tired. Come, inside the academy, I've arranged guest rooms for all of you. Please follow me."
Qin Ming, emerging from Shrek Academy, was well-organized and reassuring.
"Unfortunately, Qin Ming didn't play a significant role in the original work afterward this arc," Wang Feng sighed. He still had a good impression of Qin Ming, but he didn't know the ultimate fate of Qin Ming and what happened to him, the former Shrek Academy monster with a mutant beast martial soul, who had the potential to become a Title Douluo.
Qin Ming led everyone to a well-prepared diner at the school and then personally took them to their assigned rooms. The rooms were excellent, comparable to those in good hotels. The Heaven Dou Imperial Academy had scattered and splendid villa-like houses built on the mountainside, providing a comfortable environment for everyone.
The following day, early in the morning, Qin Ming sought out Tang San.
"Cultivating so early?" Qin Ming remarked, observing Tang San, and chuckled. "Unfortunately, our academy's students aren't as diligent as you."
Tang San, who was sitting on the roof after practicing Xuan Tian Gong and Purple Demon Eye, felt a bit embarrassed hearing Qin Ming's words and smiled. "Senior, you're too kind."
Qin Ming nodded approvingly. "Among the Shrek Seven Devils, you've left the deepest impression on me. Without your leadership, I'm afraid the seven of you would have been defeated long ago. Your diligence is undoubtedly related to your commanding role."
Tang San stood up, feeling a bit embarrassed. "Actually, the most diligent person in the academy is not me... it's brother Feng."
"Brother Feng... you mean Captain Wang Feng?" Qin Ming laughed heartily. "He's indeed different, very different!"
"Yes, Brother Feng cultivates even while sleeping," Tang San said with admiration.
"?" Qin Ming raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"Pardon me, what was that you mentioned? Is it possible to cultivate even while being asleep?" Qin Ming directed an incredulous gaze at Tang San.
"Brother Feng, tried teaching us that approach, but, regrettably, we haven't mastered it yet. Presently, our practice is confined to waking hours," Tang San explained.
Qin Ming, now understanding, couldn't help but fathom the reason behind the remarkable abilities of the seven.
"That intense skirmish..." Tang San chuckled wryly, "Truth be told, Brother Feng engaged us in solo bouts extensively over the last three months. Without those rigorous training sessions, our initial encounter with your Emperor Fighting team might have ended differently. Your team is also exceptionally meticulous and talented."
"A three-month one-on-one training regimen?" Qin Ming was taken aback. During his conversations with Flender, this particular detail had never surfaced.
In a moment of reflection, Qin Ming recalled Flender words during the introduction of Wang Feng: "Whenever a strategy was devised, it was beaten into them by him..."
Back then, Qin Ming had failed to grasp the significance, but now the pieces fell into place.
"He single-handedly bested all seven of you!!... Wait, that might be plausible," Qin Ming marveled, realizing the possibility that Wang Feng could have triumphed over him at that juncture.
During that encounter, despite deploying both soul abilities and unleashing his level-twenty soul power to the fullest, victory was still very far from him. Even activating the core soul ability proved futile.
"For three consecutive months, we did not defeat him a single time," Tang San admitted, a tinge of embarrassment on his face. "Our most notable achievement was enduring for a mere ten minutes against Brother Feng's prowess. Our soul power was indeed lacking..."
Silence enveloped Qin Ming as he absorbed this revelation.
Doubt crept into Qin Ming's mind, Could Captain Wang Feng truly be only level 34? The realization that a 13-year-old had surpassed his 30-year-old self left Qin Ming pondering the strength Wang Feng might possess upon reaching his level.
Overcoming his surprise, Qin Ming roused everyone at Tang San's request. After breakfast, he guided them through the inner areas of Heaven Dou Imeprial Academy.
As they walked, Wang Feng couldn't help but notice Qin Ming's occasional glances, sparking speculation about the senior's intentions. Wang Feng wondered, 'What's going on? Why is Teacher Qin Ming observing me like this? Does he swing the other way? No, what the fuck am I thinking!'
With an evasive demeanor, Wang Feng strolled beside Qin Ming, tuning in to the introduction.
Heaven Dou Imperial Academy had a rigorous classification system—Tianwei level, Tianzhi level, and Tiandou level for students and teachers. Additionally, three deans of the academy had reached the esteemed Soul Douluo level.
Wang Feng found this classification understandable, relating it to the categorizations in his previous life—ordinary classes, rocket classes, and experimental classes, with teachers ranked as ordinary, special-level, and professors.
Given Flanders and company's prowess, attaining Tiandou level posed no challenge to them as even though they are not Soul Douluo. They are still formidable Soul Saint. The substantial bonus subsidy of three thousand gold coins added to the appeal.
