Dai Mubai spoke up at this moment.
He was now over level 60.
Advancing to Soul Sage was basically impossible, after all, it had only been about twenty days since they left the Tiandou Empire's trial grounds.
It simply wasn't possible to advance that quickly!
Besides, he had never thought about becoming the champion of the entire Continent's Senior Soul Master competition.
In his heart, it's best to let everything take its natural course.
If there was one thing he was fixated on in his heart, it would be Zhu Zhuqing.
No matter what, he had to ensure he was never surpassed by Zhu Zhuqing.
"It should be in the next few days,"
said Dean Flender at this point.
"The next few days? But when exactly? Dean Flender, you can't possibly be listening to Yu Xiaogang, waiting for Tang San to reach level 70 before going to find a Soul Ring?"
Dai Mubai looked at Flender.
"Xiaosan is now the soul of Shrek Academy, shouldn't we wait for him!"
The Master became unhappy the moment he heard this.
"He's indeed quite strong, but he's only level 68 now, and there are only nine days left. Isn't it a bit difficult for him to advance to level 70?"
Dai Mubai asked at this point.
"I think you are just jealous of my disciple, Xiaosan, Dai Mubai, I have seen through you long ago!"
The Master clenched his teeth upon hearing this.
"Jealous? Why would I be jealous of your disciple?"
Dai Mubai laughed upon hearing this.
"Enough, all of you shut up. And Brock, you too need to check that temper of yours. Don't always think everybody is out to get you. The kids have improved their own levels. You should feel happy for them instead."
At this moment, Liu Erlong spoke up.
Honestly, she really felt that Yu Xiaogang was too sensitive.
Perhaps this was also because he was too proud.
In fact, she somewhat regretted letting Yu Xiaogang take a position at Shrek Academy.
His personality wasn't really suitable.
He always seemed a bit extreme.
And he never admitted his mistakes.
"Second Dragon, a person may not have high Soul Power, but they must have vision. Just because of a small promotion you're already celebrating like this, how can that be okay? I'm doing this for everyone's sake! Why can't you understand the effort I'm pouring out for you."
The Master looked utterly exhausted as he fixed his gaze on Liu Erlong.
"Ha, vision? So, what happened in the end with your not-so-great strength and vision? Shouldn't you be happy that the children have advanced to Soul King?"
Liu Erlong had already given Yu Xiaogang enough face.
She hadn't expected that not only would he not appreciate it, but he would also resort to such warped logic.
She immediately grew angry!
And retorted without hesitation.
"Second Dragon, you???"
The Master couldn't believe that Liu Erlong would actually retort to his face!
And her words were so unpleasant.
"If you can do it, then you can talk to everyone, but if you can't, then you shouldn't say anything!"
Liu Erlong had been restraining herself for a long time.
"How can't I do it? Tell me, Second Dragon!"
The Master clenched his fists.
"When you advanced from level 29 to level 30, what was your expression? You wished the whole world would celebrate for you. So now, isn't everyone advancing from level 40 to level 50 as Soul Kings worth more than your advancement from Grand Soul Master to Soul Elder?"
Liu Erlong was never afraid to argue with someone.
It was just a matter of whether she wanted to or not.
Mainly because this Yu Xiaogang was overstepping his boundaries.
After advice went unheeded, he still wanted to argue.
"You! You!!"
The Master was so angry he was heaving.
And his fists were wound up to their limits.
"Five days, we will go to the Sunset Forest to find a Soul Ring after five days."
Liu Erlong dropped the statement.
It was both a declaration and a notice.
"Alright, Second Dragon, you dare to talk to me like that, don't think I don't know about you and Master Flender!!"
The Master was enraged!!
He pointed at Liu Erlong and roared.
The man was hysterical.
His eyes were bulging with fury.
"Brock, I..."
"That's right, we are an item! Come on, Master Flender, let's go have a meal."
Master Flender had just wanted to speak.
But at this moment, Liu Erlong took his hand directly.
And left in front of everyone.
"Liu! Second! Dragon!!!"
```
The Master clenched his teeth hard!!
His eyes were blood red!
He was even violently pounding the surrounding trees with his hands!!
It's just a pity that his Martial Soul was Three Cannons.
In the end, the only thing injured from hitting the trees was his own hands.
"Second Dragon, are we being a bit too cruel by doing this?"
Watching the Master's crazed behavior in the background, Flender suddenly felt a pang of conscience.
"Cruel? Hah, he's lived to fifty years old and still so full of himself! After all these years, not only has he not changed, but he's gotten even worse! So let it be cruel!"
Liu Erlong's expression was very cold.
From the initial surprise to now a heart turned to ashes.
She no longer wanted to bother with this man.
Let him do as he pleases!
"Liu Erlong! The Continent's Senior Soul Master Competition hasn't even started, and you've begun kicking someone when they're down, tossed them aside after using them, right? I'm taking my disciples and leaving Shrek! You just wait!!"
The last line was doubly hysterical.
"Second Dragon, what do we do if he takes Xiaosan and leaves?"
Upon hearing this, Flender wanted to stop in his tracks, considering the academy was Second Dragon's labor of love and it was a critical moment for the Continent's Senior Soul Master Competition. If the core strength was lost, it would be a significant blow to the academy!
It could even affect future recruitment and the Empire's financial support.
"Master Flender, don't stop. If he wants to take them, then let him. I never really intended for Shrek to take first place in the Continent's Senior Soul Master Competition. Sometimes I think it's best to just let things take their natural course," Liu Erlong spoke up.
That was her most genuine thought.
"Then, let's just let it be," Flender said, letting out a sigh of relief.
Actually, he didn't necessarily need this group of oddballs to take first place.
As long as they did their best.
Very soon, Liu Erlong and Flender had disappeared.
Without looking back.
"Heh, some people are just jesters in the end."
At this moment, Dai Mubai's lips slightly curled up.
Creak, creak!!
The Master's hands were making creaking noises, his entire being seething with rage!
This pair of treacherous dogs!!
He felt he had suffered a mortifying humiliation today!
A humiliation against his very character!
"Teacher! I've broken through to level 69!!"
Just at that moment, Tang San awoke from his closed-door cultivation off in the distance.
"Level 69? Xiaosan, that's really great!!"
The moment the Master heard this phrase, his previously angry expression instantly flipped like turning the pages of a book!!
"Huh? Teacher, what happened?"
All of a sudden, Tang San sensed that something was off about the atmosphere at the scene, especially with his own teacher.
Could Dai Mubai have pissed off the teacher again?
Sigh, why bother with Dai Mubai?
Sometimes he felt his teacher was a bit petty.
Always fixated on trivial things.
"Nothing happened, follow me!"
The Master stood with his hands clasped behind his back.
His disciple had reached level 69; where there's no room for the lord, the lord finds room elsewhere!
Once Shrek lost its main force, defeat was inevitable. He would just quietly wait for Liu Erlong and Flender to come begging him!
"Ah? Teacher, where are you going? Level 69 isn't enough to search for a Soul Ring, is it?"
Hearing this, Tang San looked bewilderedly at his teacher.
Truthfully, he was a bit confused.
"If this academy wants to rid itself of us, master and disciple, then we shall leave this place!"
The Master told Tang San.
With Tang San leaving, Xiaowu would naturally leave as well.
Then, Shrek Academy would be left only with Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Ning Rongrong, Oscar, and the old members of Blue Tyrant Academy.
Their combat power would surely plummet.
This faction was set to lose without doubt in the Continent's Senior Soul Master Competition!
With the personalities of Flender and Liu Erlong, how could he worry about them not coming to beg him?
Especially Flender.
Who treasured wealth as life itself!
A loss would greatly impact Shrek Academy's future recruitment.
And the support of the Empire would be greatly diminished!
We're all in the same boat, everyone yearning for victory in the Continent's Senior Soul Master Competition, but since they want to court death, let them court death!
