After the feast, the door of the private room was pushed open, and the Grandmaster walked in belatedly.
Glancing at the already drunken Flender, the Grandmaster frowned and said, "Flender, how did you get so drunk?"
Flender, with a red face, waved at the Grandmaster and said, "Xiao Gang, I'm just happy, so I drank a bit more."
"I don't care how much you drink, but don't let it interfere with the important matters," the Grandmaster said.
"What important matters?" Flender asked, puzzled and scratching his head.Before Flender could continue his questioning, the master turned to Yu Tianheng and said, "Tianheng, have you thought about what I just mentioned to you? Would you like to join our Shrek Academy?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Ming's expression immediately changed. It was one thing for Flender to poach their students, but now even the master was doing the same?
"Master, what do you mean by that?" Qin Ming asked with a somber expression.
The master replied, "Nothing much, just that as Tianheng's uncle, I feel that your Heaven Dou Royal Academy is misleading its students."As soon as the master finished speaking, the previously drunken Flender sobered up immediately. He quickly covered the master's mouth and explained to Qin Ming, "Qin Ming, don't mind him, Xiao Gang must be confused and talking nonsense."
"Flender! You're the one talking nonsense. Tianheng is my nephew. What's wrong with him joining our Shrek Academy and me training him? Don't forget, I'm also a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family. Who here knows more about the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon than I do?""Moreover, Flender, you yourself said that over the years, Shrek Academy has admitted a total of sixty-two students, yet only fourteen have graduated. Each of them has gone on to become a world-renowned figure."
"Among them, the most outstanding one even became an elder of the Spirit Hall, second in authority only to the Pope. These are all things you personally told me. Could it be that our academy, which has produced an elder of the Spirit Hall, is still inferior to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, which has never produced an elder?" Master spoke with righteous indignation.Hearing the master's words, Qin Ming was stunned, and beside him, Flender was also at a loss for words for a moment.
Qin Ming remembered that during his school days, Flender had never mentioned this matter. Could it be that a graduate of Shrek Academy had truly become an elder of the Spirit Hall? A titled Douluo?
At this moment, Flender was cursing inwardly. Why bring up such things out of the blue? Surely, if others didn't know, he did. If it weren't for the academy's financial difficulties, would he have resorted to fabricating such a claim just to alleviate the concerns of parents bringing their children to enroll?How could any graduate become an elder of the Spirit Hall? If he really had that ability, would Shrek Academy still face the dilemma of closing down due to lack of funds?
Seeing the serious look on the master's face, Qin Ming also believed it a bit. He turned to Yu Tianheng and said, "Tianheng, what do you think?"
"Teacher, this is the family's arrangement, I can't decide," Yu Tianheng replied.
Not hearing the answer he wanted, the master looked displeased. Family, always the family. Was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family, which had expelled him, really that good?Even if Yu Xiaogang left the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family, isn't he still living well?
Recalling the humiliation of being expelled from the family, Master was about to lose his temper when he was interrupted by Dugu Yan beside Yu Tianheng, "Principal Flender, I remember that to become an elder of the Spirit Hall, one must at least reach the level of a Title Douluo, right? Has your Shrek Academy really produced a Title Douluo? Or is it just a false gimmick for enrollment?""Tsk tsk tsk, taking Teacher Qin as an example, he is now at the Soul Emperor level. According to this analysis, the disciples who graduated from your Shrek Academy became Title Douluos in their thirties, before reaching forty?"
"If I remember correctly, the youngest Title Douluo announced by the Spirit Hall seems to be the fearless Haotian Douluo from back then. With his terrifying talent, he was already forty-four years old when he reached the Title Douluo level. Could it be that someone has even greater talent than him?"As soon as Dugu Yan finished speaking, all eyes in the private room turned to Grandmaster and Flender, each face showing astonishment and disbelief.
Dugu Yan was right; the youngest on the continent was the vanished Haotian Douluo, who had broken through to the Title Douluo realm at level 90 at the age of 44. According to the Grandmaster, the legendary graduate of Shrek should have reached the Title Douluo realm in his thirties.Up to now, Tang Hao remains the youngest Title Douluo officially verified by the Spirit Hall. If there really were a Title Douluo in their thirties, the Spirit Hall would have already announced the news.
After all, given the nature of the Spirit Hall, keeping secrets does them no good.
"Teacher, I remember this matter is indeed related to the Shu Kingdom. Please tell us quickly, the name of this Title Douluo senior. From now on, when we Shrek Academy step out, we will be a school backed by a Title Douluo level powerhouse," Ma Hongjun said excitedly.As soon as Ma Hongjun spoke, he essentially put Flender on the hot seat. If there really was something, wouldn't Flender have mentioned it? It's precisely because there isn't that he can't say anything!
With Ma Hongjun's question, the others also started asking him, inquiring about the title and name of this titled Douluo, asking in such detail.
The more these students asked, the redder Flender's old face became. At this moment, he had already cursed Yu Xiaogang ten thousand times in his heart. Isn't this just stirring up trouble for no reason? Couldn't this have been discussed privately? Did it really have to be brought up in the open?What nonsense about a thirty-something titled Douluo? If such a person really existed, would their Shrek Academy be so poor? Isn't it precisely because they don't have one that they made up this gimmick to attract outstanding students and charge exorbitant tuition fees?
Originally, Flender himself had almost forgotten about it. Now that Yu Xiaogang reminded him and the students started asking, it made him sweat profusely. How could he possibly justify this fabricated gimmick? There's simply no way to explain it!Looking at Flanders' face, which turned from green to white, Qin Ming sighed inwardly. He was quite familiar with Flanders' penchant for boasting. If nothing unexpected happened, this so-called titled Douluo elder from the Spirit Hall was probably just a gimmick Flanders concocted to rake in more money. After all, unlike other academies, the Shrek Academy's registration fees were non-refundable.
The more people who came to register, the more registration fees there would naturally be, and the academy would be making a hefty profit.Seeing that Flanders was already in a state of being unable to justify himself and on the verge of collapse, Qin Ming timely took over the topic and said to everyone with a smile, "Actually, the titled Douluo senior from Shrek Academy that you are asking about is not a student in his true identity, but a former teacher of Shrek Academy. Of course, his current identity is that of an elder in the Spirit Hall."
"I was fortunate enough to meet this teacher once, but due to some other reasons, he resigned and left Shrek shortly after I entered the academy.""So, his current identity is completely confidential. After all, the elders of the Spirit Hall are not easily exposed to the public eye, which I believe you all understand."
Upon hearing Qin Ming's explanation, everyone suddenly realized the situation.
The stone hanging in Flender's heart finally settled, and he felt very grateful to Qin Ming. If it weren't for this disciple being here, he might have lost all face tonight."Hahaha, Qin Ming is right. This elder from the Spirit Hall is not a student of our academy, but a former teacher. When he joined the academy, his spirit power was already over level 80. It took him several years to break through to the Title Douluo level, and only then did he leave the academy."
As he spoke, Flender occasionally glanced at Zhao Wuji, and the meaning in his eyes was very clear. Zhao Wuji immediately caught on.
"Ahem," Zhao Wuji coughed lightly and said, "You guys have really misunderstood Dean Flender. Who becomes a Title Douluo in their thirties? That's just a rumor."Listening to the back-and-forth between Flender and Zhao Wuji, the Grandmaster's face twitched. He clearly remembered that Flender had told him it was a graduating student, so how had it now turned into a teacher?
However, none of that mattered. The Grandmaster took a deep breath and looked at Yu Tianheng with a hint of seriousness in his gaze. "Tianheng, trust your uncle. Follow me in your training, and I will definitely use theoretical knowledge to make you a formidable force."
"Uncle, I can't make the decision."Yu Tianheng sighed, his brows furrowed with helplessness, and said, "Seeing that the master still wouldn't relent, Qin Ming spoke up, 'Master, hasn't Dean Flender told you yet?'"
"What?" The master was taken aback.
Qin Ming continued, "Dean Flender has already privately informed me that the funds in Shrek Academy's account are insufficient. Tonight's soul fight is Shrek Academy's last chance. If we lose, Shrek Academy will be declared completely bankrupt."Flander sighed and said, "Xiao Gang, you know as well as I do that there wasn't much money left in the account. The children are the last batch of students at the academy. If we can win this soul battle, we'll have the funds to keep going. But if we lose tonight's battle, we'll be penniless now."
"Flander, why didn't you tell me earlier!" Master glared at Flander and roared, "Are you just going to stand by and watch me lose the chance to realize my soul theory? If you had told me earlier, how could I have agreed to the demands of the Great Soul Arena!"
"You lunatic, it's all your fault!"Upon hearing this, Flender did not feel guilty because of the master's accusations. Shrek Academy was his, and as the dean, even if it were to close down, it was not for others to comment on, even if that person was his best brother.
"Xiao Gang, don't worry, I've already discussed it with Qin Ming. Shrek Academy can no longer continue, but for the sake of these children, I am willing to merge Shrek into the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.""After dreaming for so long, it's time to wake up and face reality. Our Shrek Academy can neither provide a good simulated cultivation environment for the children, nor can we offer them the qualification to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition two years from now."
"If you want to prove your martial soul theory, participating in the Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition is a must for Shrek Academy."
"So, there's no need for you to rush in getting Yu Tianheng to join Shrek Academy. Even if he were to join, it would be our Shrek Academy joining the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. After all, as the dean of the children, I always have to consider their best interests."
