Sure enough, hearing the word "assessment" strike a raw nerve, Flender felt anger rise in his heart and turned to question Mo Bai and the others.
"Hello, Dean. I was referred by Master. This is my letter of introduction!"
Seeing that the Dean seemed angered as well, Tang San hurriedly took out the letter of introduction his teacher had given him and handed it to Flender.
In the original story, Master had written to Flender in advance, so Flender already knew about Tang San by the time he arrived at Shrek Academy.
Now, under Mo Bai's influence, they had come to Shrek Academy ahead of schedule. Master had not had time to write a letter in advance, so there was only this letter of introduction. Flender did not yet know that Tang San was Master's disciple.
"Master? And a letter of introduction?"
Flender's expression shifted slightly at that. He accepted the letter without giving anything away and opened it to read.
"Haha, good!"
"So it really is Xiao Gang! You're Xiao Gang's disciple!"
After reading the letter, Flender immediately burst into hearty laughter.
It was not only because he had learned about the circumstances of Mo Bai's group of three, but more importantly, because he had learned news of Master.
"Tang San, is Xiao Gang doing well now?"
Flender then asked Tang San about him.
"Yes, Teacher is doing well. You know my teacher?"
Seeing that Dean Flender knew his teacher, Tang San hurriedly answered.
"Haha, your teacher and I have been old friends for many years. Back when we were young, Xiao Gang traveled the world with me! The two of us, together with one other person, formed the renowned Golden Iron Triangle!"
"And many of this academy's educational principles are also connected to Xiao Gang!"
Since Tang San had asked, Flender gave him a brief explanation.
He did not mention Liu Erlong's name, nor did he say much about why they had disbanded and gone so many years without seeing one another.
"So this is the academy of Master's old friend!"
Mo Bai listened quietly from the side and immediately understood why Master had recommended that Tang San come here. It was because this place belonged to someone he knew.
Given how highly Master valued Tang San, Mo Bai felt that Master might even come here himself later on.
After all, Master was only a guest at Nuoding Academy, not one of its teachers. He could leave whenever he wanted.
Flender had also just said that many of the teaching principles here were related to Master. Perhaps they used Master's Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul as a reference.
That made Master's decision to send Tang San here understandable. Regardless of the academy's conditions, coming here would be more suitable for Master to give Tang San specific guidance.
And considering that even the gate guards were so strong, Shrek Academy surely possessed a certain level of strength as well.
But after realizing that this was an academy Master had specifically chosen for Tang San, and that Master might come here too, Mo Bai felt somewhat resistant to joining it.
"You must be Mo Bai and Xiao Wu, the ones Master mentioned in his letter?"
"With your talents, joining our Shrek Academy will be absolutely no problem!"
Flender then looked brightly at Mo Bai and Xiao Wu, smiling with a kindly expression.
From Master's letter, he had already learned of Mo Bai and Xiao Wu's astonishing talents.
Good heavens, three Innate Full Soul Powers. Is Shrek Academy finally going to rise?
Flender was immensely excited inside.
"Dean Flender, may I ask what advantages your academy has compared with other top academies?"
"Does it have many books? Does it have an Environmental Simulation Training Ground? How is the teaching staff? Are the educational resources sufficient?"
Mo Bai calmly repeated the questions he had asked earlier.
"This..."
Upon hearing Mo Bai's words, the kindly smile on Flender's face stiffened slightly.
Only then did he understand why Teacher Li Yusong had said they were here to assess Shrek Academy. Judging from those questions, they had not come to join Shrek Academy directly. They had come to decide whether to join only after evaluating it.
Flender became somewhat anxious. Naturally, he wanted to take in such geniuses.
But the questions Mo Bai had raised were rather pointed.
After his thoughts raced for a moment, Flender finally smiled and spoke.
"Of course. Our Shrek Academy certainly has advantages that other top academies do not!"
"For example, our academy only recruits monsters. Shrek is synonymous with monsters. As long as you join Shrek Academy, you are a genius among geniuses—commonly known as a monster!"
"Since Shrek Academy was founded over twenty years ago..."
Flender then began telling Mo Bai about Shrek Academy's history, proving its uniqueness and emphasizing that Shrek Academy would not accept anyone who was not a genius among geniuses.
It was as though he were saying that as long as one joined Shrek Academy, one would become a monster-level genius.
As for the teaching staff, although there were not many teachers, there were even fewer students, so every student could receive guidance from the teachers at any time.
Regarding the Environmental Simulation Training Ground and the like that Mo Bai had mentioned, Flender casually said those things were unimportant. Shrek Academy did not engage in that sort of simulated training. Instead, it would take its students directly into real combat training.
Only the weak would dare cultivate solely in simulated environments, and so on.
Good grief!
Mo Bai inwardly exclaimed in amazement. They had clearly been unable to build an Environmental Simulation Training Ground because they were poor, yet it was spun as if they simply disdained such a thing.
"So? Isn't our Shrek Academy impressive? Isn't it far better than those top-tier academies?"
By the end, Flender's face was already full of pride.
The more he spoke, the more convinced he became that it was true. Their Shrek Academy really was that impressive!
"Yes, it really is unique. I'd never imagined there could be an academy like this before! Although Shrek Academy isn't very famous yet, I believe it will definitely become renowned in the future!"
Mo Bai nodded in acknowledgment, but rather than calling it powerful, he merely acknowledged Shrek Academy's uniqueness.
He could not help but admire Dean Flender in front of him.
The man had actually thought of establishing an academy based on elite education.
And he did not accept ordinary elites, but the elite among elites.
Such an academy might not be famous at the beginning, nor would it have much of a reputation.
But as Shrek Academy continued operating this way and more and more students graduated, its reputation would only grow greater.
After all, it recruited nothing but monster-level geniuses. Once they graduated, they would surely accomplish great things.
And many graduates, wanting to prove how formidable their alma mater was, would naturally boast about it. Over time, Shrek Academy's reputation would rise on its own.
Mo Bai dared to conclude that this would be a successful academy.
But it was also a scam academy—one that fooled monster geniuses into joining and continuously contributing to the construction of what would become a prestigious school.
