Flender was, of course, unwilling to leave.
Over the past few years, he had grown accustomed to a comfortable life.
He was very satisfied with this kind of life.
He didn't want to return to the hardship of the old days.
Therefore, he could only suppress his anger towards Liu Erlong's attitude.
His eyes rolled as he said with a smile, "Erlong, you must be joking. With our friendship, there's no need to be so distant."
"Look, although the academy's name has changed, under my wise management, the academy is flourishing, with more than double the number of students, all of them successful. It shows that I have great management skills!"
"You used to only admit commoners; do you know how much money you lost?"
Thinking about the tributes from those noble children, his heart was filled with joy.
He continued with a smile, "Erlong, to be honest with you, not only should you not drive me away, but you should also thank me. It's because of me that your academy is in its current state; my contributions are immense."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhu whispered a few words into Liu Erlong's ear.
Liu Erlong's face became increasingly ugly.
Originally, Liu Erlong only recruited commoners because she couldn't stand the behavior of the nobles.
But now, Flender had opened the doors to everyone for money.
This went against the original intention of establishing Lanba Academy.
Moreover, those noble children were causing chaos in the academy, turning it into a mess.
This academy was Liu Erlong's heart and soul. Hearing this, how could she not be angry?
"Flender, get out!"
Liu Erlong's fiery temper flared up, and she directly activated her martial soul, a powerful dragon shadow appearing behind her.
Her aura surged to the peak.
Flender's pupils dilated.
An 87th-level Soul Douluo!
So strong!
He never expected Liu Erlong's progress to be so great.
Over the past few years, he had only advanced one level, reaching the 79th level.
But Liu Erlong, who had the same level as him at 78, had now reached the 87th level.
Moreover, her martial soul had evolved, making her aura extraordinary.
In front of Liu Erlong, he felt like a weak child.
Boom!
Liu Erlong stopped talking and directly attacked Flender, sending him flying.
Flender was full of disbelief. He never thought Liu Erlong would actually attack him.
She didn't care about their past friendship at all.
He struggled to get up, his face ugly.
He definitely didn't want to leave.
Although Liu Erlong was now a Soul Douluo, he wasn't weak either.
He was an agility-type, with outstanding speed.
He might not necessarily lose to Liu Erlong.
Determined, he prepared to fight back.
"Erlong, why are you attacking?"
At this moment, Su Bai finally arrived leisurely.
To be precise, he had sensed Liu Erlong's intention to attack and deliberately arrived late.
With a smile on his face, Su Bai walked in cheerfully.
Seeing Su Bai, Flender's face changed drastically.
He was terrified.
He didn't expect even Su Bai to come.
Now his plans were completely ruined.
He only wanted to leave quickly.
Afraid that Su Bai would attack him.
If Liu Erlong attacked, she might show mercy for the sake of their past friendship.
But this person was not so easy to deal with.
He hurriedly said, "Since Erlong is back, the academy should return to its rightful owner. I'll leave now."
As he spoke, Flender's heart bled.
Hearing this.
Su Bai looked at him with a half-smile.
This guy must be skilled in Sichuan opera!
His face changed so quickly.
Before Su Bai arrived, he had heard Flender's shameless words.
Now that he was here, the tone changed.
As expected of the four-eyed owl, truly slick.
Su Bai looked at Liu Erlong, indicating that she should make the decision. After all, she was the master here.
Liu Erlong understood, showing her disdain, "Get out!"
Flender, feeling as if he had been granted amnesty, quickly turned to leave.
"Flender, is there an enemy attack? I sensed a strong aura just now."
At this moment, Zhao Wuji hurried over, ready for a fight.
Flender's face changed dramatically. He rushed to cover Zhao Wuji's mouth, giving him a look.
Zhao Wuji then noticed Su Bai, his face changing, feeling a wave of fear.
The two hurriedly turned and left, even using their soul power, leaving quickly.
After Flender left.
Liu Erlong said to Jiang Zhu, "Jiang Zhu, inform all the teachers and students in the academy. I have something to say."
"Yes, Principal!"
...
Academy Square.
All the teachers and students were gathered here.
Liu Erlong stood on the high platform.
Most of the teachers and students here knew Liu Erlong. They were very happy about her return.
Because they were all commoners, these past few years had been tough under the noble students.
Now that Liu Erlong was back.
There would definitely be changes.
But the noble students felt differently.
Some didn't even show up; those who did were indifferent.
Liu Erlong ignored the others and said directly from the platform, "Everyone, listen. From today onwards, I, Liu Erlong, will once again manage the academy. All previous practices are abolished. Additionally, Lanba Academy is renamed Dragon God Academy, incorporating the four major elemental academies, expanding its area."
"The most important point is that any non-commoner students in the academy are to be expelled."
"Why?"
"We paid our fees!"
The noble students were dissatisfied.
Boom!
Liu Erlong didn't bother arguing. She directly released her aura, using her pressure to subdue them.
She said coldly, "If you don't leave, I'll kill you!"
Those noble students, used to living in luxury, couldn't withstand such a terrifying aura and left dejectedly.
Although most of the four elemental academies' students were also nobles.
She didn't care for now; she just wanted to manage the current situation.
If anything happened, she would find Su Bai.
But Flender, for money, had admitted those debauched noble children. They had to go.
...
A few days later.
The people from the four major elemental academies finally arrived.
With everyone's efforts, the relocation went smoothly.
The four major elemental academies officially joined Lanba Academy, merging into Dragon God Academy.
The area also expanded more than twice.
The people from the four academies were very satisfied with Dragon God Academy.
Everything was developing steadily.
Principal's office.
Su Bai sat in a chair, leisurely propping his feet on the desk.
The principal of Dragon God Academy was Su Bai.
Originally, Su Bai planned for Liu Erlong to take the role.
But Liu Erlong didn't like managing trivial matters. She preferred the atmosphere of Dragon God Hall.
Taking care of children, spending time with her lover, or cultivating.
That was the life she enjoyed.
Reluctantly, Su Bai had to take the role.
The people from the four academies were also convinced.
Knock, knock~
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
Jiang Zhu walked in, looking puzzled, "Principal, did you need me?"
Jiang Zhu was very willing for Su Bai to become the principal.
Not only was Su Bai strong, but he was also Liu Erlong's man.
It was well-deserved.
"Jiang Zhu, you're here!"
Su Bai smiled at her, then said, "I called you to say that I plan to make you the vice principal of Dragon God Academy. Are you willing?"
