Xiao Wu returned to Star Dou Great Forest overnight, and Tang Hao also disappeared without a trace. It's unknown whether he went to see Xiao Wu off or continued to hide near Shrek to guard.
Tang San returned to the dormitory, where five people were looking at him curiously.
"Third Brother, where's Xiao Wu?" the five asked curiously.
As teammates who had gone through hellish Training with Tang San and Xiao Wu under Grandmaster for the past few months, they didn't have much resistance to Xiao Wu's identity.
Regardless of whether Xiao Wu was a Spirit Beast or not, at least they were friends.
As for the hundred thousand years old Spirit Ring, they couldn't even begin to consider it now.
"Xiao Wu has left and returned to Star Dou Great Forest," Tang San said, his expression full of loss.
Everything changed too quickly, and he didn't have any time to react. Xiao Wu was actually a transformed Hundred Thousand Year old Spirit Beast.
After that, there was a conflict with Poison Douluo.
And then he learned that his father was Clear Sky Douluo, and his second Martial Spirit was also the continent's first Tool Martial Spirit, Clear Sky Hammer.
However, his father, Clear Sky Douluo, was severely injured, and even facing other Titled Douluo could potentially result in a fatal outbreak of his injuries at any time.
All these changes left Tang San's heart in turmoil.
After completing the final three days of Spirit Fighter in Suotuo City, Qin Ming finally received replies from the three major boards of education. His application for Ning Rongrong and Su Wen to hunt for Spirit Rings was approved.
However, due to Su Wen's initial reasons being very valid, Qin Ming had no choice. This time, he only planned to take Ning Rongrong to search for Spirit Rings.
"Teacher Qin Ming."
When Qin Ming announced the end of the training and intended to take everyone to Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Spirit Beasts, Ning Rongrong raised her hand.
"Rongrong, is there something you want to say?"
"Well, Teacher Qin Ming, we can just return directly to Heaven Dou City. My father said that my Spirit Ring will be hunted with Grandpa Sword's guidance."
Qin Ming: ???
Qin Ming was full of question marks at this moment.
"But isn't the acquisition of Spirit Rings for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Spirit only based on the time limit? I think I can help you hunt for it too," Qin Ming said, puzzled.
Ning Rongrong stuck out her tongue, saying helplessly, "My Spirit Ring is rather special. My father wants me to strictly follow his plan."
Qin Ming didn't feel it appropriate to continue probing into the details of other people's Martial Spirits.
This likely involved the core secrets of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"In that case, let's return directly to Heaven Dou City." Qin Ming, holding the replies from the three major boards of education, reluctantly announced their immediate return journey.
...
At Shrek Academy,
"Xiaogang, is there something you need?"
In the middle of the night, Flender was called out by Yu Xiaogang for a private conversation.
"Flender, I've been thinking about the question Qin Ming raised a few days ago. I feel we shouldn't waste the children's talents," Grandmaster said.
Hearing that it seemed to be about this matter, Flender, who was initially groggy with sleep, suddenly became alert.
"What's the matter, Xiaogang? Are you also considering having Shrek join the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy?" Flender appeared indignant.
"Shrek is my life's work. Our aim is to cultivate monsters; I will never agree to that!"
"But, are you going to stand by and watch as the talents of Mubai, Xiaosan, and the others go to waste?" Grandmaster argued, then earnestly continued, "Flender, don't you want to attract more monsters to join the Academy you've established? The Spirit Master Competition is a great stage, and it's also our choice not to waste the talents of these little monsters."
Are there geniuses on the continent?
Quite a few.
But why come to Shrek?
Even if they're interested, if they know they can't participate in the Spirit Master Competition, how many will come to Shrek Academy?
Without the Mimetic Environment, without spots in the Spirit Master Competition, without anything, why join Shrek?
Which genius Spirit Master doesn't dream of shining on the stage of the Spirit Master Competition?
Lacking qualification to participate in the Spirit Master Competition not only means that the students' own dreams cannot be realized but also that they lose the best opportunity to showcase themselves.
What is the Spirit Master Competition for?
Strictly speaking, it's similar to the Great Spirit Arena. Many excellent Spirit Masters showcase their talents here and are then recruited by various major sects and forces.
"But the atmosphere over at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy..." Flender pretended to hesitate.
"Qin Ming's invitation is just a reminder, it doesn't mean that Shrek has to join Heaven Dou Imperial Academy. We have other options; there are plenty of Academies with spots in the Spirit Master Competition," Grandmaster said.
After pondering for a long time, he hesitantly continued, "Actually, I know of an Academy that only accepts commoners, has a good reputation, and also has qualifications to participate in the Spirit Master Competition."
Flender eagerly took the bait, curious about the Academy Grandmaster mentioned.
"Blue Tyrant Academy."
"Blue Tyrant Academy?" Flender looked skeptical, gazing at Grandmaster. "This Academy's name, could it be the Spirit Master Academy established by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"
Grandmaster didn't shy away from it, nodding in acknowledgment.
Flender's expression changed, sometimes pensive, sometimes conflicted, but soon he became resolute. Gritting his teeth, he looked at Grandmaster and said, "Xiaogang, what you said is right. We can't waste the talents of these little monsters."
"Moreover, you haven't had any contact with your family for a long time. This unexpected connection with the family this time is rare. As brothers, I, Flender, will accompany you in integrating Shrek into Blue Tyrant Academy."
"In the future, we'll develop and expand Blue Tyrant Academy. Xiaogang, your theoretical ability will be fully showcased, and I believe those gossipy people in your family will shut up and start to respect you."
Grandmaster nodded, indeed having this idea in mind.
"However, I'll still need to consult with my old comrades."
Grandmaster nodded and said, "That's for sure. Teacher Shao Xin and the others have also contributed a lot to the Academy."
That night, Flender gathered many teachers and informed them of the idea of integrating Shrek into Blue Tyrant Academy.
"How about it? If you don't have any objections, we'll set off for Heaven Dou City immediately."
"Blue Tyrant Academy is affiliated with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, it's Xiaogang's home ground. The treatment there will definitely be good for everyone. Besides, I think you're all getting older now. You've been with me for so many years, and Shrek hasn't achieved much. It might be a good idea to join Blue Tyrant Academy together. It could be considered as a place for retirement," Flender earnestly said.
"I don't have any objections anyway," Zhao Wuji said nonchalantly, crossing his arms.
Initially, he was chased by the Spirit Hall and then followed Flender to become the vice dean at Shrek.
As for Shao Xin and the others, they were all deceived by Flender into staying.
Over time, they developed some friendship and chose not to leave.
At this moment, when Flender made the decision to merge Shrek into Blue Tyrant Academy, they didn't object.
Indeed, they were getting older, and it was time to consider retirement.
