"Shrek Academy really lost, huh?"
Huo wu hooked the corner of her mouth as she watched Mu Tian collapse, the last one still standing on the field. "Our Blazing Fire Academy's own people are still better. Of that group from Shrek Academy, only four are really good. The other three are just there to make up the numbers, forcibly added in."
Qin Ming sighed slightly in response.
In Qin Ming's eyes, Shrek Academy had already compromised with the secular world - joining the Blue Tyrant Academy... Although they changed their name to Shrek, Qin Ming believed that the standards for accepting students had been lowered.
Although they couldn't continue running without compromising, when Shrek really entered the secular world, Qin Ming couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.
The real Shrek Academy was a thing of the past.
The only familiar people and things were Flanders, Zhao Wuji, Shao Xin, Li Yusong, and the others. The other students couldn't be considered his real younger brothers.
[It's fine this way too. Dean Flanders and the others can gain a foothold in Tian Dou City, and their later years should be secure.]
With this thought in mind, Qin Ming felt that he had let go of his insistence on Shrek, and his heart felt much lighter. He had other plans for the future.
For example: to cultivate the next Tian Dou Royal Team.
With the current one, he was just the team leader. He didn't need to arrange for training or actual combat, so he didn't have much of a sense of accomplishment.
Although teachers would be happy because of their students' excellence, Qin Ming felt that if the students were too talented, it would make him, the team leader teacher, feel like he had no experience at all - it was the same with or without him.
Perhaps some team leaders would be very happy, as they could get a promotion and a raise, and become famous. But Qin Ming was the kind of person who had ambition. He didn't want to "just wait for things to happen". Only by showing his own abilities, gaining recognition from others, and making corresponding contributions could he get what he wanted: wealth, status, and honor.
He was a proud man.
Seeing the detachment and determination in Qin Ming's eyes, Tang San smiled silently and said to everyone, "Next match, let's bet too. The prize is still Ice Phoenix Bird meat!"
In this way, someone would always guess right, and everyone could have a good meal...
...
Night fell quietly.
In the magnificent hall of the Pope's Palace, Bibi Dong asked the elder in charge of the library, "Has Tang San come to the library of the Pope's Palace in the past seven days?"
"Reporting to the Pope, he has not been here." The elder bowed his head and replied respectfully.
"Not?"
Bibi Dong's face was calm, but there was a hint of doubt in her eyes. Then she thought of a possibility, "It seems that punch had a considerable impact on him as well. He must be recuperating."
The bodies of Huo Yuhao and the Ice Emperor Scorpion, the elders of the Spirit Hall, and the theoreticians who studied soul beasts had already been studied. The hardness of the shell was ten times harder than ten-thousand-year-old forged steel.
At first, they didn't know how Tang San had killed it. Finally, after breaking open the shell on its head, they found that its brain had become a mess.
Therefore, most of the people in the Spirit Hall believed that Tang San's control over strength and soul power had reached a level of exquisite subtlety, and he was able to bombard the inside directly through the outer shell.
Of course, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo had discovered the broken gap in the shell that had been cut open, and they had a different opinion. They thought that Tang San might be hiding some kind of special power.
That was the real way to kill this 300,000-year-old Ice Emperor Scorpion.
Bibi Dong felt that both reasons were valid, but judging from the fact that Tang San hadn't come to the Pope's Palace in the past seven days, using that kind of power must have also caused him no small amount of injury.
In that case, even if Nana, Xie Yue, and Yan teamed up, they might not be able to defeat Tang San... It didn't matter if they lost, after all, after this, Tang San would definitely join the Spirit Hall.
In addition, those two girls, Xiao Wu and Guang Ling, one was Tang San's half-sister and the other was Tang San's disciple, so they would definitely
Furthermore, the two women, Xiao Wu and Guang Ling, who were close to Tang San—one his sworn sister and the other his disciple—would likely join too. Both were exceptionally talented, especially Guang Ling, whose innate spirit power was only level three, yet Tang San had trained her to reach Soul Sect status at just 13 years old. wouldn't be enough to compensate for such raw talent.
Meanwhile, at Thunderclap Academy, Yu Luomian found Yu Tianheng.
"Second Grandfather," Yu Tianheng greeted him.
Seeing Yu Luomian coming over, Yu Tianheng hurriedly went up to receive him and took him to his room. "I don't know why you are here. Is it to ask the Tian Dou team to let the Thunderclap Academy win when they face them?"
"Although I was born into the Blue Lightning tyrant family, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
"It goes against the reputation of the Blue Lightning tyrant Rex..."
Yu Luo Mian raised his head -
Slap!
With a slap on Yu Tianheng's head, he said helplessly, "What are you thinking? The Blue Lightning tyrant Rex family doesn't need you to let them win. Even if we can't beat them, it's not a disgrace. Who can blame Tang San for being such a monster?"
"I came here mainly to tell you something..."
"Tang San will most likely join the Spirit Hall after this competition. You should join as well."
This is something that anyone with a discerning eye can see. After all, when Tang San's identity as a master of martial soul theory was exposed, everyone knew that most of the cases in his theory came from the publicly available collection of the Spirit Hall.
From Tang San's age, it can be seen that he has been in contact with the Spirit Hall since he was a child, so it is natural that he has a good impression of the Spirit Hall.
But, he wants to join too?
"Second Grandfather, I am the direct heir of the Blue Lightning tyrant family, right? Is it really a good idea to join the Spirit Hall?" Yu Tianheng felt that his position as the direct heir might not be worth much.
"Who says that the direct heir can't join the Spirit Hall?" Yu Luo Mian snorted coldly, "And it's you personally joining, not the entire Blue Lightning tyrant family?"
"Isn't this a bit shameless?" Yu Tianheng felt that this was not very good.
"It's a helpless move. Can't you see how amazing Tang San is? You can only make greater progress by staying with him." Yu Luo Mian sighed deeply, "He and that 'Sun Chasing', should be the Guang Ling, right? The new type of life soul guide device they created has completely changed the situation on the entire continent."
Yu Tianheng also knew about this, but -
"The continent doesn't seem to have undergone any major changes because of the soul guide camera, soul guide photography box, and mother-child soul guide photography ball, right?"
"This is just the surface." Yu Luomian shook his head, "The unseen places are full of undercurrents. Each of those three things can greatly accelerate the speed of information recording and transmission."
"In the short term, there has been less friction between the major forces."
"After all, once the news spreads, the force that provokes the conflict will surely be despised by the whole world."
"But in the long run, this thing can also be a weapon to provoke conflicts on the continent."
"After all, who says that the recorded information is all true? Aren't movies fake? Ordinary people don't care about the truth at all, they only care about the results they can see and the surface."
Yu Tianheng's heart sank as he realized the seriousness of the problem.
If a force were to release a video slandering the Blue Lightning Tyrant family, it would take a lot of effort for them to clear their name.
Spreading rumors is just a matter of words.
In the past, the major forces could ignore it, because with just words, it couldn't be spread far. It was estimated that within ten miles, the rumors would become distorted and even extremely absurd. Anyone with a little intelligence would not believe them.
And now, with the advent of soul tool photography, the spread of information has become much faster. If things are taken out of context, even if they are clarified later, reputations can suffer significantly.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan can't control the mouths of everyone on the continent.
In this world, only three major powers are powerful enough to deter people from spreading rumors: the Tian Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, and the Spirit Hall. Of the three, the Spirit Hall is the strongest because it has branches within the territories of both empires.
Beyond these three major forces, there's one person who cannot be slandered.
Tang San.
He is a master of spirit theory, and over 90% of the commoner spirit masters on the continent have benefited from his theories, such as "Analysis of Spirit Masters' Self-Positioning," "The Evolutionary History of Spirit Rings," "Factors in Spirit Ring Endurance," "Whale Glue Theory," "The Three Categories of Spirit Fusion Techniques," and more. Notably, his spirit is Blue Silver Grass, yet he managed to become a Spirit King at the age of 14, with his fifth spirit ring being 100,000 years old.
This grand tournament is being broadcast across the continent! His fame is widespread, and anyone daring to slander him would be despised by all spirit masters on the continent. Moreover, the local branch of the Spirit Hall might even capture and punish them.
After all, seven days ago, Tang San was named an Honorary Elder of the Spirit Hall by the current pope! And Yu Tianheng understood why his family wanted him to join the Spirit Hall.
It's because of Tang San.
As long as he's in the same camp as Tang San and doesn't make any foolish mistakes in the future, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's reputation would be secure, at least no one would dare slander them. Moreover, since the Spirit Hall is ostensibly a neutral power, as long as the current pope doesn't go off the deep end, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could use the Spirit Hall's reputation to grow.
Additionally, the clan hopes that he can work with Tang San on some future soul tool inventions, especially considering how the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan is making a fortune—Ning Fengzhi's scepter now has gems three times larger than before!
"I understand, Second Grandfather." Being part of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Tianheng valued his family greatly, so he could only nod heavily, "I'll join the Spirit Hall, in my personal capacity."
