Seeing Dean Flander and the others looking like defeated roosters, Meng Shenji stroked his beard and said solemnly, "Haha… it's nothing. For these children to achieve so much, it must be inseparable from the earnest teachings of my Grandmaster. You all don't need to belittle yourselves."
"Their achievements, and the achievements of Shrek Academy's past graduates, will always belong to Shrek."
"That's right!"
Beside him, Zhi Lin, one of the three members of the Education Committee and a Spirit Douluo, also chimed in, stating their stance: "Qin Ming has made it very clear to us. It is our honor that you all can join our Academy this time. We will not restrict your freedom. Feel free to ask for anything you need, as long as it's within my authority."
Flander, being a powerful Spirit Master at over seventy ranks, naturally saw the sincerity revealed by these three Spirit Douluo. It was definitely not feigned, which showed how eager they were for talent.
They even chose to fully trust Qin Ming without any testing.
But he still had some self-awareness: "The three Education Committee members praise us too much. We dare not take credit for these children's abilities; their own talent is also very outstanding."
Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang frowned.
Flander continued, "The reason we chose to come to Heaven Dou Royal Academy is that we don't want to bury these children's potential. As Dean, I sincerely hope that they can all become Titled Douluo in the future and achieve far greater accomplishments than me."
As he spoke, there was no longer any cunning in Flander's eyes, only genuine sincerity.
The Shrek group also noticed that at this moment, Flander seemed to have grown even older, and his figure looked somewhat lonely.
His Shrek was truly gone!
Watching this scene, a smile finally appeared on Grandmaster's face. His plan had finally come to fruition.
Flander, oh Flander, I hope you won't blame me. If it weren't for Little San and the others, why would I bring you here?
No matter what happened before, in my heart, you are still my elder brother!
Meng Shenji also nodded to Flander upon hearing these words. As a Grandmaster, having only strength and knowledge is not enough; professional ethics are also extremely important.
"Dean Flander, you can rest assured. Here, the three of us guarantee that we will do our best to provide these children with the best cultivation facilities."
Flander stood up and bowed to the three Spirit Douluo.
"Thank you, three seniors."
"Haha… good!"
Meng Shenji clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "Then this matter is settled. Teacher Qin, I'll trouble you to make the arrangements later."
Qin Ming hastily nodded in agreement.
Yu Tianheng, who was beside him, also cheered up. In the future, his uncle, the strongest theoretical Grandmaster, would become his Grandmaster!
"Since that's the case, let's begin the feast, everyone!"
Just as the Shrek group was looking at the dishes being brought out, footsteps suddenly came from outside.
It sounded like three people.
"A feast? This Crown Prince thinks you won't have the chance!"
The voice came from outside before the person arrived. This voice… startled Tang San and Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai and Tang San exchanged glances, immediately feeling that something bad was about to happen. They hadn't expected the other party to be an Empire Prince?!
Their expressions also caught the attention of Yu Xiaogang, Flander, and the others, who also felt a sense of unease and became much more serious.
Meng Shenji was stunned.
He naturally recognized who the owner of that voice was.
As the footsteps grew closer, he also sensed a sharp aura. The three exchanged glances, their eyes filled with solemnity.
They were very clear about the foundation of Xue Beng's rising prominence in the imperial court.
At the same time, the three of them were also considered to be on the Crown Prince's side.
Not daring to delay, they quickly stood up and went out to greet him.
Before they could even leave their seats, three people walked in from outside. One of them was the person Dai Mubai had threatened to pull his pants down.
However, at this moment, he had changed into a golden silk robe embroidered with snakes, and he looked at the Shrek group with a face full of resentment.
Walking in the middle was an old man in luxurious attire, wearing a large yellow robe embroidered with intricate floral patterns. His white hair was neatly combed back. He was of medium height, slightly plump, and his small eyes marred the overall impression of his facial features.
He stood with his hands behind his back.
Even when facing the three Spirit Douluo members of the Education Committee, he showed no respect, but rather an air of condescension.
His voice was loud and full of confidence.
Carrying a hint of superiority.
"Chief Meng Shenji, our Royal Academy does not welcome these people!"
Meng Shenji frowned and bowed slightly to the old man in luxurious attire, asking in confusion, "May I ask Prince Xue Xing, what is the meaning of this?"
Although they were speaking to Xue Xing, the three Education Committee members' gazes were all fixed on another person.
That was a seemingly middle-aged man standing to Xue Xing's right. His face was unwrinkled, but he had a 'cross' shaped scar on his left forehead. His hair, black and white, was combed very straight and meticulously neat.
He wore a black robe, and his strong body stood ramrod straight. From the moment he entered, he hadn't looked at anyone else, not even once, only staring intently at the three Education Committee members. The sharp aura emanating from him made people tremble with fear.
He was overbearing and showed no humility or courtesy.
"Chief Meng, since you didn't hear clearly, I'll say it again: Heaven Dou Royal Academy does not welcome this trash!" Xue Xing swept his gaze over the Shrek group, his hands behind his back, a disdainful sneer on his face.
"That's right, what Shrek Academy? I've never even heard of it. These low-class, unknown fellows don't deserve to sit here." Xue Beng also looked arrogant, gazing at Dai Mubai with amusement.
"Moreover… there's even a dead eunuch here!"
Bang!
"Damn it… what did you say?!"
"Boss Dai!"
Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai immediately reacted, slamming the table and standing up, but was held down by Tang San.
The other members of Shrek Academy also became furious. Zhao Wuji, standing beside Flander, was about to act but was forcibly restrained by a grim-faced Flander.
Meng Shenji's expression changed.
"Your Royal Highness, Prince Xue Beng, you cannot speak like that. Shrek Academy has cultivated countless excellent Spirit Masters. For example, our Academy's Teacher Qin is from Shrek Academy—"
"Enough, your nonsense is truly annoying!"
Before Meng Shenji could finish speaking, the sharp-bodied man with black and white hair interrupted him.
His gaze swept over the Shrek group, filled with scrutiny, and he said condescendingly, "What kind of damn geniuses? If I tell you to scram, then scram. Do you want me to do it myself?!"
The cold voice made everyone in the hall feel a chill in their hearts. A slight breeze suddenly appeared in the air, making their faces sting.
As his voice fell.
The man also directly released his Spirit.
A simple, unadorned, pitch-black three-foot-long sword suddenly floated above his head, and his black and white hair stood on end.
spirit rings unfurled around his feet.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black.
A total of nine spirit rings spiraled upwards, their dazzling light making the entire hall brilliant.
Countless dense sword edges made people involuntarily release their spirit power to resist.
The expressions of the Shrek Academy members changed.
The expressions of the three Education Committee members also changed.
They hadn't expected that besides Evil Blood Douluo, another Titled Douluo had appeared by Xue Beng's side.
Although from the aura, he had just broken through to Titled Douluo.
But the further one progressed, the greater the gap between each rank.
Facing a Titled Douluo, they couldn't say they could definitely win.
"Haha… how about it? Why aren't you scrambling away?! Do you really want Lord Mo Wuchang to make a move?!"
Xue Beng immediately burst into laughter. This feeling of bullying others made him somewhat intoxicated.
He had been suppressed for too long, and his psychology had long become distorted.
Looking at the Fourth Prince Xue Beng, who was staring intently at Dai Mubai with hatred, the three Education Committee members couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
But they still wanted to try to salvage the situation.
Meng Shenji angrily said, "Your Royal Highness, you are going too far. What you are doing is against the rules!"
"How is it against the rules? Don't forget, the Academy belongs to the Imperial family. As the direct manager, I have the authority to make personnel decisions. If you are dissatisfied, you can go and complain to His Majesty."
Prince Xue Xing said indifferently, completely disregarding him.
"Three old geezers, stop with the nonsense. If you're not convinced, you can fight me. I just broke through and still need a few whetstones!"
Mo Wuchang said lightly, but his Spirit was quietly releasing pressure, crushing down on everyone.
I wish you all a happy life!
