After appeasing Yu Feng and the others, everything remained as usual; they went about their business.
An enraged Yu Tianheng arrived at the training ground and, in front of Teacher Qin, immediately proposed joining the Shrek Team.
Upon hearing this, Teacher Qin did not agree immediately but instead inquired about the reason.
Yu Tianheng's answer was simple; he merely said there was internal discord within his team, and he felt he was more suited for Shrek.
Seeing Yu Tianheng's determined expression, coupled with Xiaogang's agreement from the side, Teacher Qin could only temporarily assent. For the specific result, he still needed to take Yu Tianheng to report and inquire with the Three Great Committee Members.
Heaven Dou Royal Academy Education Committee Office.
"Yu Tianheng wants to transfer teams?" Meng Shenji frowned, "Why?"
Yu Tianheng cupped his hands slightly and said, "Due to some personal reasons, I feel that the Shrek Team's training methods are more suitable for me."
"Training methods?" Meng Shenji's expression was somewhat complex. He looked at Teacher Qin and asked, "Where is Shi Quan?"
Teacher Qin said, "I've already sent someone to call him; he should be here soon."
Before long, Shi Quan appeared outside the office. "Shi Quan greets the three Education Committee members."
"Shi Quan, are you aware of Yu Tianheng's application to transfer teams?"
"I am aware." Shi Quan nodded in response.
Meng Shenji looked at Shi Quan and asked, "What are your thoughts on this matter?"
"Those whose Dao differs cannot work together."
Meng Shenji scrutinized Shi Quan and Yu Tianheng, then seemed to recall something and asked, "Yu Tianheng, you and Dugu Yan..."
Yu Tianheng's expression shifted slightly, his fists clenching and unclenching. "Dugu Yan and I no longer have any relationship."
Upon hearing this, a hint of helplessness appeared in Meng Shenji's eyes. "Yu Tianheng can transfer teams, but the Heaven Dou Battle Team cannot be short of members."
Shi Quan immediately spoke, "Education Committee, please rest assured. I have already discussed with Zhu Zhuqing of the Shrek Team about having her transfer to the Heaven Dou Battle Team. Isn't this just perfect?"
Meng Shenji heard this and looked at Shi Quan with a hint of scrutiny. After a moment of silence, he said, "You may decide this matter yourselves, but it must not affect the upcoming competition, understand?"
"Understood."
Everyone originally thought the matter had concluded, but Shi Quan spoke again at this moment, "Education Committee, I wish to apply to manage the Heaven Dou Battle Team independently."
"Shi Quan, what do you mean?" Teacher Qin's sharp gaze locked onto Shi Quan.
Meng Shenji and the other two Education Committee members also awaited Shi Quan's explanation.
"Because Teacher Qin, your heart is not with the Heaven Dou Battle Team, but with Shrek. Moreover, Teacher Qin, you no longer approve of my educational philosophy and methods, so disputes are inevitable later on. This will be detrimental to the Heaven Dou Battle Team's future training. If Teacher Qin were to choose, he would likely choose the Shrek Team, wouldn't he? Therefore, I wish to apply to manage the Heaven Dou Battle Team independently."
Teacher Qin's expression was hesitant. In his opinion, his current achievements were all due to the cultivation he received at Shrek Academy, so his past training methods bore some resemblance to Shrek's. Just as Shi Quan said, if Shrek were truly to suffer grievances at the academy, he would certainly help Shrek.
"Grandpa Dugu has also agreed to temporarily serve as our leader at Heaven Dou Royal Academy." Shi Quan then dropped another bombshell.
"Shi Quan, is what you're saying true? Will Titled Douluo Bi Lin personally lead you?" Meng Shenji and the other two Education Committee members suddenly stood up, their eyes filled with shock.
"Yes." Shi Quan nodded in response.
"Good." Meng Shenji immediately agreed, "Teacher Qin, then you can go to the Shrek Team. They are not very familiar with the academy, and with your addition, they will be able to adapt quickly."
"Okay." Teacher Qin responded, thus being removed from the Heaven Dou Battle Team. He felt somewhat displeased, but he could only reluctantly cooperate.
In the original work, he voluntarily left the Heaven Dou Battle Team; one was active, the other passive, so a disparity was naturally unavoidable.
Dugu Bo coming to the academy was, of course, something Shi Quan and Dugu Bo had discussed in advance. After all, if he didn't proactively reveal his whereabouts, how could he give others the opportunity to steal Immortal Herbs?
Heaven Dou Dormitory.
As soon as Teacher Qin and Yu Tianheng returned to the dormitory, they began packing.
"Shi Quan, are Teacher Qin and the others here?" Yu Feng asked softly upon seeing the situation.
Because Shi Quan was suddenly called to the Education Committee, everyone returned to the dormitory early that afternoon.
Shi Quan then informed everyone about the two of them transferring teams.
"Then our Heaven Dou Battle Team won't disband, will it?" Yu Feng's expression showed some worry.
"Don't worry." Shi Quan smiled reassuringly, "Grandpa Dugu will temporarily serve as the leader of the Heaven Dou Battle Team."
"Shi Quan, are you talking about Dugu Yan's grandfather?" Yu Feng exclaimed, and the Shi Family Brothers also looked at Shi Quan in unison.
"Mm."
"A Titled Douluo as our leader?"
The previously somewhat disheartened group immediately became excited, as if they had been injected with a stimulant.
Teacher Qin and Yu Tianheng didn't have many belongings, and they quickly packed them. Seeing the excited crowd, the two said nothing and simply turned and left.
"Alright, let's go welcome our new teammate first." Shi Quan waved, motioning for everyone to follow.
"New teammate?" Everyone quickly followed.
"Shi Quan, who is the new teammate? Has the academy already arranged it?" Dugu Yan asked curiously.
Yu Tianheng had just left the team, and now there was a new teammate already? Was this speed a bit too fast?
"It's not arranged by the academy..."
"Then who is it?"
"You'll know when we get there."
Seeing them following Teacher Qin and the others towards the courtyard where Shrek rested, Dugu Yan couldn't help but ask, "Shi Quan, the new teammate isn't Ning Rongrong, is it?"
"No, you'll know when we get there." Shi Quan smiled mysteriously.
Everyone walked into Shrek's courtyard.
"Tianheng, you're here!"
Yu Xiaogang came to Yu Tianheng's side, took the luggage from his hand, and stood tall with a chest puffed out, as if he had achieved some victory, his gaze towards Shi Quan also containing a hint of mockery.
Shi Quan directly ignored Yu Xiaogang and looked at Zhu Zhuqing in the corner, "Zhuqing, come here."
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze immediately focused on Zhu Zhuqing. Zhu Zhuqing slowly walked out and approached Shi Quan, "Is it confirmed?"
Shi Quan nodded and said to the people beside him, "Welcome our new teammate, Zhu Zhuqing."
"Welcome, welcome!" Yu Feng immediately cheered.
"What!?" The faces of the Shrek members changed upon hearing this.
Yu Xiaogang's expression also became somewhat stiff.
"Zhu Zhuqing, you're leaving Shrek?" Flender appeared in front of Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing looked up at Flender and said indifferently, "When Zhuang Zhou left, I should have left with him. It was he who asked me to stay first, which is why I remained."
"Dean, if she wants to go, let her. Does our Shrek lack her?" Dai Mubai's voice, suppressing anger, came through.
Teacher Qin's voice rang out, "Dean, Shi Quan has already reported this matter to the Three Great Committee Members. This matter is to be decided by the team members themselves."
"Do you have anything you need to pack? Ling Ling and Sister Yanzi can help you pack?"
"No need." Zhu Zhuqing gently shook her head and walked past Flender to Shi Quan's side.
"Let's go. We're resting today. Let's properly welcome Zhuqing." Shi Quan led everyone away with a smile.
Only the Shrek members were left, their expressions fluctuating between sunny and gloomy.
"Teacher Qin, do you know what exactly happened?" Yu Xiaogang frowned, looking at Teacher Qin.
Teacher Qin then recounted what happened at the Education Committee.
"You're saying Titled Douluo Bi Lin will personally lead the Heaven Dou Battle Team?" Yu Xiaogang, who was originally a bit annoyed, immediately brightened up at the news. This was an opportunity for them.
Yu Xiaogang and Tang San exchanged glances, both smiling at each other.
Yu Xiaogang spoke first, "If Zhu Zhuqing left, then she left. Didn't Tianheng join us?"
Tang San echoed, "That's right, Tianheng's strength is much greater than Zhuqing's, and he's a great asset to our Shrek!"
For the two teams, it was like they had exchanged one person.
Ning Rongrong felt a bit uncomfortable seeing this, but after thinking about it, she ultimately said nothing.
Zhu Zhuqing, having just joined the Heaven Dou Battle Team, was still a bit unaccustomed, but with Shi Quan mediating, Zhu Zhuqing quickly adapted.
The next day at noon.
Dugu Bo appeared outside the Heaven Dou Dormitory. His originally dark green long hair had turned black. After so much time, Dugu Bo's poison had long been resolved. After detoxifying, his strength directly increased to level ninety-two.
Then, upon Shi Quan's recommendation, he consumed a Nine-Grade Dragon Lingzhi. The Dragon Lingzhi not only contained the Bloodline Power of the Dragon Clan but also most of its medicinal properties were for strengthening the foundation and cultivating the original aura. The hidden ailments in his body, caused by years of poison infiltration, were not only fully recovered under the nourishment of the Nine-Grade Dragon Lingzhi's medicinal power, but his strength also experienced another Breakthrough, reaching level ninety-three.
The continuous Breakthroughs, in addition to the Immortal Herbs, were more due to Dugu Bo's own accumulation over the past decade or so.
Compared to before, Dugu Bo now looked at least ten years younger.
His entire spirit and demeanor had undergone a tremendous change.
Dugu Bo had been in the Sunset Forest during this period and was unaware of the recent academy matters. Upon hearing about Yu Tianheng's series of actions, Dugu Bo immediately became furious, rising to his feet and wanting to severely teach Yu Tianheng a lesson.
Ultimately, under Dugu Yan's persuasion, Dugu Bo did not rush over directly.
Dugu Bo was somewhat speechless upon hearing that Shi Quan had inexplicably arranged a leader position for him, but after listening to Shi Quan's explanation, Dugu Bo finally agreed.
Moreover, Shi Quan said that his position as leader was merely a nominal one; the Heaven Dou Battle Team's training plan would be set by Shi Quan himself. He only needed to hold this title and would not be responsible for anything else. Since he had nothing to do recently, he would just consider it spending more time with Dugu Yan at the academy.
With Dugu Bo's arrival, Shi Quan's special training officially began. With Dugu Bo guarding them, there was no need to worry about others secretly observing their training, and he could confidently and boldly teach everyone some basic martial arts.
As for those basic training equipment, Shrek could use them if they wanted. At the same time, Shi Quan also had some anticipation, wondering if Yu Xiaogang would truly train according to the method he described...
