After Yu Xiaogang said that, Tang San finally realized that he really had not cultivated properly in a long time.

Ever since he had parted ways with his Godfather in Notting City and headed to Suotuo City, quite some time had passed.

Yet his Soul Power had not changed in the slightest, as if it had been fixed at level twenty-two, completely motionless.

Tang San even felt that his level twenty-two Soul Power seemed inflated.

Like the opponent he had encountered at the Great Soul Arena last time, who seemed to be only level twenty-one.

Yet he had been beaten without the slightest ability to fight back.

Tang San nodded, then spoke with great sincerity.

"Godfather, I will definitely cultivate diligently."

With his Godfather by his side, Tang San felt hope once more.

In his eyes, even Yu Xiaogang's figure had become tall and imposing.

Before long, the two returned to Shrek Academy.

Looking at the academy that had once turned him away, together with everything he had experienced recently,

Tang San had truly worried for nothing.

Yu Xiaogang directly took Tang San to Flender to complete his enrollment procedures.

Though the latter was helpless, his relationship with Yu Xiaogang had become far too complicated.

He could only agree.

Afterward, Flender notified all teachers and students to gather at the Training Field for a meeting.

By the time Ye Xian and the others arrived at the Training Field, the other students and teachers had already assembled.

"Isn't that the kid who ambushed Vice-Dean Zhao Wuji that day?"

Dai Mubai suddenly remarked.

Though his voice was not loud amid the crowd, Flender, whose hearing was exceptionally sharp, still heard him.

However, he merely frowned slightly for an instant before relaxing again.

When Zhao Wuji saw Tang San beside Yu Xiaogang,

his ass instantly clenched.

He was practically on the verge of rolling his eyes.

Seeing Tang San now just made him feel unlucky.

Zhao Wuji had never imagined that this kid would be able to enter Shrek Academy again through the Dean's connections.

If he got the chance, he would definitely make Tang San suffer a little.

He would remember that arrow for the rest of his life.

At that moment, Yu Xiaogang looked at all the teachers and students and suddenly felt somewhat guilty.

The way he and Tang San had entered Shrek Academy was not aboveboard.

He was afraid others would learn of his relationship with Flender.

The former witnesses, Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai, lowered their heads, doing their utmost to suppress their expressions.

The others, meanwhile, seemed rather indifferent toward Yu Xiaogang and Tang San.

Flender noticed this as well.

Before Yu Xiaogang came, everything at the academy had run as usual.

He, Zhao Wuji, and the other teachers had all been living quite comfortably.

Ever since Yu Xiaogang arrived,

all sorts of major and minor troubles had kept coming his way.

And eighty or ninety percent of them were because of Yu Xiaogang and Tang San.

"Since everyone is here, let's begin."

At that moment, Flender slowly spoke.

His voice, wrapped in Soul Power, clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

Everyone's gazes turned toward Flender in the center.

Their faces were filled with curiosity.

"First, I would like to introduce a new student to everyone."

Flender paused here.

He pointed at Tang San beside him, then continued.

"This student is named Tang San. His Martial Soul is the Blue Silver Flower, and he is a level twenty-two Control System Soul Master. At the same time—"

"I'm sure everyone has heard a little recently that Tang San is also Great Master's disciple."

Flender did not say that Yu Xiaogang was Tang San's Godfather.

After all, it sounded far too absurd.

Hearing this, most people wore speechless expressions.

So this was what it was all about?

They had seen Tang San during the entrance examination back then.

To this day, aside from Yu Xiaogang and Xiao Wu, not a single person who had interacted with him had developed a favorable impression of him.

Only Xiao Wu revealed a faint smile.

At the same time, Ye Xian's lips curled into a slight smile as he took the lead in applauding.

A new student had arrived, so they had to welcome him, right?

After all, he and Tang San could be considered old classmates.

Led by him, the others began clapping as well.

However, their faces were entirely filled with the expression of people watching a show.

Especially Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun.

They clapped with incredible enthusiasm.

That was how they suppressed the expressions they could barely hold back.

Tang San had originally intended to be invisible, but after this,

he actually became a little embarrassed.

He seemed to think everyone was genuinely welcoming him.

Zhao Wuji, watching from the side, revealed a cold smile.

Tang San joining Shrek Academy was nothing more than a joke.

With his current strength, no one would even want him polishing their shoes.

Even Oscar and Ning Rongrong, two Support System Spirit Masters, had Soul Power far higher than Tang San's.

It would be strange if he could last here.

Flender then continued the introduction.

"From now on, he will take part in the academy's teaching activities alongside the other students."

"Likewise, Great Master will also join the academy's academic affairs system."

Hearing this, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun glanced toward Yu Xiaogang in the distance.

Zhao Wuji also looked at Yu Xiaogang.

Although these movements were extremely subtle, Flender still keenly caught them.

Seemingly sensing that the atmosphere was off, he hurriedly explained.

"Don't worry, I will still be generally responsible for arranging and overseeing the academy's teaching duties."

"Great Master will not participate in the regular teaching duties."

"But he will remain at the academy for quite some time."

"If anyone is interested in Martial Soul theory or has anything they do not understand, you may privately seek guidance from Great Master."

Hearing this, Dai Mubai immediately let out a sigh of relief.

If Yu Xiaogang were going to become his teacher and teach him things, he would rather drop out immediately.

What was Yu Xiaogang going to teach them?

How to seduce the Dean?

Just look at the miserable state his disciple Tang San was in now.

Although it had something to do with his own trash Martial Soul, the Blue Silver Flower,

a considerable part of the reason was also that Yu Xiaogang himself was trash.

Whoever he taught would end up useless.

Who the hell could take that?

Zhao Wuji's expression eased somewhat as well.

He could not stand Yu Xiaogang or Tang San in the slightest.

If that guy became a teacher on equal footing with them,

and occasionally came over to point fingers and lecture them,

going on about how This Old Man's theories were invincible—

what teacher could accept that?

Yu Xiaogang's expression, on the other hand, became slightly gloomy.

Although Flender had not said it outright, the implication was too damn obvious.

He had directly separated Yu Xiaogang from Shrek Academy.

It meant that everyone need not worry, because the academy's students definitely would not be ruined by that guy.

As for being able to privately seek his guidance later, that was purely polite talk.

It was just giving Yu Xiaogang a little face so that he would not explode and turn hostile in public.
