Where Does Shrek Academy Hold the Advantage?

Yun Feng naturally knew what he wanted to say, but he did not answer directly.

"Use your eyes and look!"

"You know that's not what I'm asking."

Yun Feng smiled calmly.

"Dean, isn't it still too early to talk about that?"

"After all, I've only just joined the academy. You can't expect me to have much loyalty toward it already, can you? And even if I said I did, you wouldn't believe me, right?"

Flender's mouth, which had been about to say something, immediately shut.

After all, what Yun Feng said was true. Yet for some reason, it still sounded incredibly irritating.

He had already joined Shrek Academy.

Yet he was still half-hearted about it, and had even wanted to leave Shrek before. That made Flender extremely displeased.

But he could not say anything. The resentment in his heart toward Yun Feng only grew stronger. "Forget it. This sort of thing can't be forced. You'll come to recognize our academy's worth someday!"

"Perhaps."

Seeing Yun Feng put it that way, Flender did not continue the matter. Instead, he stepped in front of everyone.

"There's still some time. Come with me."

With that, Flender led the six of them into an inconspicuous tea shop by the street. The seven sat around a round table, and Flender ordered seven cups of the cheapest tea.

Xiao Wu frowned as she looked at the tea before her, which was full of tea leaves and dregs.

"Dean, our first class isn't going to be here, is it?"

When Yun Feng saw the tea as well, he directly said to the Shop Assistant, "Bring three cups of the finest tea."

Flender, Ma Hongjun, Tang San, and Dai Mubai were all speechless.

Tang San in particular. He had not seemed to show Yun Feng any hostility over the years, had he? Why? Perhaps noticing Tang San's puzzled gaze, Yun Feng "apologetically" added,

"Make that four cups of the finest tea!"

"Coming right up!"

Only then did Tang San reveal a faint smile, though it was not a particularly pleasant-looking one.

When the tea arrived, Flender wanted to reach out and take some, but Yun Feng took the initiative to distribute it to Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Tang San. Naturally, he did not forget his own cup.

Flender was somewhat embarrassed, but his skin was thick enough.

He immediately changed course, picked up the tea before him, and took a sip. Mm, it tasted awful. "Your classroom is over there."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed outside.

Following the direction of his finger, Yun Feng saw a vast cluster of towering buildings not far from the tea shop.

From their angle, they could only see that the structure stood nearly a hundred meters tall. It was enormous and seemed especially profound beneath the night sky.

Faint glimmers of light flickered from within the massive building.

Dai Mubai's expression changed slightly. He said in a low voice, "Dean, you're sending them there on their first day?"

Flender said blandly, "Remember, you are all monsters, not ordinary people. Since you are monsters, you must train like monsters."

He paused before continuing in a deep voice, "Your Martial Souls are all different, and each of you has your own method of cultivation."

"What the academy can teach you is how to better use your Martial Souls, help you obtain better Soul Rings, gain more practical combat experience, and develop your potential as much as possible."

"The rest consists of all kinds of knowledge regarding Martial Souls, as well as the state of Soul Masters across the continent."

"Of everything you need to learn, the most important is practical combat experience."

"With the same level and strength, the amount of practical combat experience you possess will determine the outcome."

"Only through constant real combat can you improve your ability to adapt in battle as much as possible."

"So, your first lesson is practical combat."

"And that place is your classroom."

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun exchanged a glance. Ma Hongjun did not dare utter a word.

Helplessness appeared in Dai Mubai's evil eyes. They clearly both knew what kind of place that was.

After hearing this, Tang San suddenly asked directly,

"Dean, this monster training method you described sounds like something any other academy could accomplish, doesn't it?"

"It's nothing more than teaching knowledge. And that building, if I remember correctly, should be the Great Soul Arena. Anyone can go in and participate in Soul Battles!"

"So where does our academy hold the advantage?"

Yun Feng was rather surprised. He did not know why Tang San was the one asking that question.

What Yun Feng did not know was that Tang San had begun to suspect that his symptoms might have something to do with Flender.

That was why he asked.

Flender was also stunned.

What advantages did his Shrek Academy have? How could he not know? Aside from having a few more teachers, it had no advantages whatsoever.

And even those extra teachers included the villagers who worked at Shrek.

There were only a few teachers who actually taught!

Furthermore, the old brothers in the academy were lazier than the next! Whether the students succeeded depended entirely on their own hard work and comprehension! As for resources?

Other than hunting Soul Beasts, there was nothing at all!

So when Tang San asked what advantages the academy had, Flender could not answer at all.

Tang San's behavior even made Flender develop some complaints toward his good brother, Yu Xiaogang.

No matter how inconsiderate you were, you could at least have introduced my identity!

Now he had been left completely unsure of what to say.

Moreover, in Flender's eyes, Tang San should have been one of the closest people to him, aside from Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, and Oscar.

He felt terrible!

"Of course we have advantages. If you went to another academy, would a Soul Saint personally guide your cultivation?"

"Our Soul Power Level is the academy's greatest foundation!"

Fortunately, Flender was fairly quick-witted and soon came up with a barely acceptable reason.

However, this matter also made Flender realize something.

Although these newly recruited students were each more talented than the last,

they were also each more rebellious than the last!

They had nearly shattered his Dao heart outright.

It was only the first day, yet so many mishaps had already arisen. Who knew what would happen afterward!

Tang San also knew at this point that enough was enough.

But just as Tang San's matter was resolved, Xiao Wu raised her own question.

"Dean, aren't Soul Masters the most noble profession?"

"Then why is there a place like the Great Soul Arena? What does it mean to put on Martial Soul battles for people to watch like monkey shows?"

Fortunately, Xiao Wu's question was fairly normal!

Flender felt slightly relieved.

"No, you're mistaken. Although I do not like places like the Great Soul Arena either, I have to admit that it is absolutely an important place for demonstrating the value of Soul Masters."

"You're thinking of it too simply. The Great Soul Arena has its own complete system and can even be considered a special faction."

"It was jointly established by the most prestigious Soul Master factions across the All-Continent, and its wealth rivals that of nations."

"Soul Masters who become famous in the Great Soul Arena will become dazzling stars throughout the entire country. Not only can they gain enormous benefits, they can also gain tremendous prestige."

"Furthermore, the Great Soul Arena is a relatively fair place. Here, even if you kill the heir of some great clan, you need not worry about retaliation."

"That is its fairness."
