After a brief moment of shock, the three Spirit Douluo gradually calmed down. However, Teacher Qin's psychological resilience was clearly weaker, and he still appeared very agitated.
Meng Shenji let out a long breath. "I truly didn't expect this," he said. "To think such a genius has appeared in our Spirit Master world. I'm genuinely fortunate to have met all of you here today."
Flender also breathed a sigh of relief. Huo Feng's performance was somewhat beyond his expectations as well. Even though Huo Feng had been at Shrek Academy for quite some time, Flender still felt like he couldn't fully see through him. It was genuinely strange. Flender always subconsciously felt that Huo Feng wasn't simple, but naturally, everyone has their own privacy and secrets, so he wouldn't pry too much.
Thinking about this, Flender looked at Meng Shenji with a smile and said, "We can't take all the credit for this child, Huo Feng's abilities. His innate talent is exceptionally outstanding. These seven children, in the history of our Shrek Academy, are all exceptionally gifted talents. It's not just Huo Feng; everyone else also possesses their own unique talents."
Flender suddenly paused for a few seconds because he felt what he had just said was a bit problematic. Although he had always been reluctant to admit it, Tang San was technically still a student of their Shrek Academy. He obviously didn't consider Tang San a genius. Perhaps in an ordinary Spirit Master academy, Tang San might be considered decent, but at Shrek Academy, he wasn't even worth a floor tile.
Flender suddenly felt that his decision to agree to Yu Xiaogang leaving the main group and taking Tang San with him was a wise one. Otherwise, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang would probably be here now, and he genuinely wouldn't have the confidence to speak such big words. After all, Tang San's pathetic talent would be seen through at a glance by the three Spirit Douluo.
Coming back to his senses, Flender continued, "The reason we chose to come to Heaven Dou Royal Academy is that we don't want to bury these children's talents. We hope that here, they can fully develop their talents through a better cultivation environment. They are the last batch of students from Shrek Academy. As the dean, I truly hope to see them all become Titled Douluo in the future, far surpassing my own achievements!"
Meng Shenji looked at Flender and nodded. "Dean Flender, you can rest assured," he promised. "Here, the three of us guarantee you that we will do our utmost to provide these children with the best cultivation facilities and the best cultivation environment! And we ask for nothing in return! Even if they are unwilling to represent Heaven Dou Royal Academy in future battles, it won't matter. Just imagine, when one day they stand at the pinnacle of the Spirit Master world, the words 'Heaven Dou Royal Academy' will be on their resumes. We will already be very satisfied."
Hearing this, Flender stood up and bowed to the three Spirit Douluo. "Thank you, three seniors!" he said.
The three laughed heartily, indicating they didn't mind. Due to the favorable conditions offered by Meng Shenji, the two parties conversed more and more congenially, feeling as if they had met too late.
Finally, Meng Shenji looked at the Shrek Group, then turned his gaze to Teacher Qin, who was standing nearby. "Then this matter is settled," he said. "Teacher Qin, I'll trouble you to make the arrangements."
Teacher Qin hastily nodded in agreement. His gaze had been following Huo Feng. Besides surprise, there was more envy. He was also a genius, but his brilliance was already completely overshadowed in front of Huo Feng.
Just then, Meng Shenji's gaze swept over everyone in Shrek. "At the same time, tonight we will specially host a banquet to welcome the Shrek Group," he announced. "I hope everyone will come."
The Shrek Group all nodded in thanks. Then, each person, with a smile on their face, excused themselves and left the Education Committee.
Because all the official procedures had not yet been completed, the Shrek students were still on vacation. That evening, Heaven Dou Royal Academy prepared an extremely lavish banquet for them. Everyone ate and drank until the early hours of the morning before returning to rest. Therefore, the next day, they all woke up late and stayed in their rooms for the entire day.
Early on the third day, Teacher Qin took Flender and Zhao Wuji to complete the official procedures.
At Ning Rongrong's suggestion, she planned to take Huo Feng, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing to explore Heaven Dou City. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was very close to Heaven Dou City, so she was very familiar with the area. Since there was nothing else to do at the moment, Huo Feng and the other two readily agreed.
Heaven Dou Royal Academy was indeed very close to Heaven Dou City, and it didn't take long for Huo Feng and his group to arrive at the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire. From a distance, they could already see the city walls with their fluttering banners.
As one of the largest and most prosperous cities on the continent, Heaven Dou City's walls were a hundred meters high and entirely constructed from the hardest granite. Above and below the city, the patrolling soldiers were all clad in full armor, holding long spears. The formidable aura emanating from them indicated their toughness. The towering city gate was ten meters high and ten meters wide, wide enough for six cavalrymen to ride abreast. There were also two side gates, each five meters high and wide. Passersby could only enter through the side gates, as the main central gate remained closed.
No sooner had Huo Feng and the three others stepped through the city gate than two familiar figures arrived outside Heaven Dou City. If they had lingered for just one more minute, they would have seen them. These two were Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, who had to beg for food for two days before finally reaching Heaven Dou City.
At this moment, the master and disciple looked disoriented, their faces sallow. In those two days, they hadn't managed to beg for much food at all, practically traveling on empty stomachs the entire time. Tang San was still alright; though a bit weak, he was young after all. But Yu Xiaogang was not. Missing an arm, his body was already in poor condition, and now being older, the two days of travel had nearly exhausted him to death.
"Teacher, we've finally reached Heaven Dou City!" Tang San looked at the magnificent city walls before him and forced a smile, looking at Yu Xiaogang beside him.
Yu Xiaogang also nodded. His body, which was almost falling apart, suddenly gained a bit of strength. Once they entered Heaven Dou Royal Academy and found Flender, he would surely make the latter arrange a grand meal for the master and disciple, and then they would rest well for a day. This was really too exhausting.
Now, Yu Xiaogang, though he wouldn't admit it verbally, was already regretting it so much that his intestines were green. If he had just gritted his teeth and followed the main group of Shrek Academy back then, how could he be in such a sorry state now?
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang gently shook his head. Then he pulled Tang San, and they slowly walked into Heaven Dou City.
