These people really lack ambition!!
Can't see what there is to be so happy about at just level 50.
Master was clearly irritated as he grumbled.
"Master, what are you talking about?"
Everyone present tensed up and turned their attention towards Master upon hearing this remark.
Their expressions carried a hint of disbelief.
"Am I wrong? I said you have no ambition. Just reaching level 50 and you're already losing yourselves in pride. You should be looking up to my student Tang San, aiming to match his achievements so that you can score well in the finals of the Continent's Senior Soul Master Competition! Not becoming complacent with every tiny bit of progress!"
Master's words flowed without a hint of regret.
He still looked as if he was stating the obvious.
"Humph, we at level 50 have never been conceited. It's just your wishful thinking, Yu Xiaogang!"
Xiaowu said.
Honestly, she had been finding Master hard to stomach ever since the incident at Tian Dou Royal Academy.
This man is a complete waste!
And he's particularly arrogant.
What's wrong with celebrating a little advancement?
Who is he to criticize?
"Oh, Xiaowu, you don't know. There are some people who haven't even reached level 50 yet, oh, to be precise, not even level 40. Seeing all of us reach such a level so young makes him skewed on the inside. It's pretty normal. We should just be understanding."
At that moment, a voice rang out.
Of course, it was Dai Mubai's voice.
A sly smile played on his lips.
Yes, he was mocking Master.
After all, Master was a complete villain.
Mocking him was basically routine!
"Dai Mubai, what did you say! Say that again if you dare!"
Master's face turned hideous with anger upon hearing those words.
His gaze was like that of a murderer, fixed on Dai Mubai.
How outrageous!
This guy is utterly detestable.
How can this kind of person exist?
He was always causing trouble for me at Shrek Academy!
Today, I must teach him a proper lesson!
"What do you think I said? Didn't you hear me just now? Since you didn't, I'll say it again. It's just someone experiencing extreme envy because, psychologically, he's twisted. He hasn't even managed to rise to the Soul Ancestor level yet, and he keeps boasting about his outstanding student. What does that student even have to do with him?"
Dai Mubai lifted the corner of his mouth slightly.
He never pulled his punches where Master was concerned.
Truthfully, it was because the man was generally disliked!
The truth is Tang San's incredible talent was primarily due to his own innate gifts.
It had little to do with Master's teaching.
Yet Master constantly used this to brag.
That made everyone feel disgusted.
If he was so capable, why didn't he try educating someone with average talent and see if he could improve them so quickly using his so-called physical method?
Honestly, everyone at Shrek Academy knew exactly what Master was worth.
He didn't have a clue at all.
"Dai Mubai! You've got some nerve!!"
Master was livid!
His eyes looked as though they were about to pop out of his head!
"Yeah, I do have some nerve. So, what are you going to do? Try to tame me with that swine of yours? If that's the case, bring it on. I always say it's better to be obedient. I'm curious to see just how formidable the Director of Education at Shrek really is."
Dai Mubai looked at Master with an amused expression.
As for that swine of his, forget it!!
If he relied on the strength of Dean Flender and Vice Dean Liu Erlong, that might be a different story.
But him, by himself, is nothing but trash.
It baffles me where he gets the courage to shout and order people around.
"Dai Mubai, don't think I have no way to deal with you. You've been slacking off in your cultivation lately. If something goes wrong at the Continent's Senior Soul Master Competition because of you, can you take responsibility? Do you realize that you're carrying the hopes of the entire Shrek Academy on your shoulders? The hopes of all your classmates too. If any problem arises, you'll be the criminal!!"
With Xiaosan still in training, Master knew he was not in a position to fight with Dai Mubai.
But he could threaten him with words.
Master's tone turned icy.
Lately, Dai Mubai had been consistently antagonizing him.
Honestly, he hated it.
And now Dai Mubai was uncovering his old scars again.
It's true, he hadn't yet broken through to level 40.
But that didn't give Dai Mubai the right to say such things.
"A criminal then, so be it. That's my problem. If you're really disgruntled, then don't let me participate. Don't you have reserves?"
Dai Mubai shrugged nonchalantly.
Honestly, he couldn't care less about this Senior Soul Master Competition.
If it weren't for Dean Flender constantly persuading him these past days, he wouldn't bother giving Yu Xiaogang the time of day!
"You!!"
Master was incensed once again after hearing that.
He turned to look at Tai Long and the others.
None of them had reached level 50 yet.
If they were to compete in the Senior Soul Master Competition, Shrek Academy would be truly doomed.
"By the way, Dean Flender, if I remember correctly, the competition is starting in a few days, isn't it? When are Xiaowu and Rongrong going to get their Soul Rings? I could really use some fresh air too. Staying here is just upsetting."
