School Merger

"Third Brother, come over here for a moment."

"Little San, come here!"

Suddenly, voices calling for Tang San came from the other side of the square.

Following the voices, Tang San turned around and saw that it was his companions. Unsure what important matter they wanted to discuss, he said to Tang Hao, "Father, my classmates are calling for me. Can I go see what they want?"

Tang Hao nodded. "Mm! Go ahead."

Tang San hurried over to Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others. "Brother Dai, what did you call me over for?"

Dai Mubai asked, "Little San, I think those people came looking for you, right? That lady who spoke with you for so long just now—who is she?"

Tang San smiled. "She's my aunt, Tang Yuehua. She came from the imperial capital of the Heaven Dou Empire."

"Tang Yuehua? Isn't she seventh on the Peerless Prodigy Ranking?" Oscar said in surprise. "Little San, like aunt, like nephew. Your aunt's talent is even more terrifying than yours."

Ning Rongrong asked in confusion, "That's not right. Third Brother, if your aunt's talent is so terrifying, why is she only a level 59 Soul King?"

Tang San shook his head. "Rongrong, level 59 Soul King is already in the past. Aunt accepted a reward from the Heavenly Dao last night. She's at least a Title Douluo now! I just don't know what level she's reached."

"Was that person who flew over just now your father? You two look rather alike," Xiao Wu asked softly.

Tang San said proudly, "That's right. He is my father, Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao, a level 99 Peerless Title Douluo."

Hiss! Everyone drew in a sharp breath. Little San's—Third Brother's—background was actually this powerful? No wonder his talent was so terrifying, ranking thirty-fifth.

Ning Rongrong and the others, who had still been somewhat unconvinced before, were now completely persuaded. It was not that they were not outstanding; it was simply that the parents of those even more outstanding than them possessed even more terrifying talent.

Inside the classroom, Huang Tian, Liu Erlong, and Tang Yuehua sat on a long bench, while Tang Hao stood behind them, acting as a guard.

Looking at Flender, Liu Erlong asked, "Boss Flender, why does your Shrek Academy have so few students? Can't you recruit any?"

Flender smiled. "Second Sister, it's not that our academy can't recruit students. It's that I set the requirement that children under thirteen must have a Soul Power Level above twenty. Better short of students than short of standards!"

"With conditions this harsh, the students you recruit must all be little monsters. My Blue Tyrant Academy wouldn't dare set such requirements. How many children across the entire continent could possibly meet your standards?"

Flender said awkwardly, "I don't have much money. With fewer students, I can hire fewer teachers and provide the students with a better one-on-one teaching model."

Liu Erlong said irritably, "Boss Flender, you're still as stingy as ever. You're a dignified Soul Sage—are you really afraid you can't earn Gold Soul Coins? Forget it, I can't be bothered to lecture you. How about closing your academy? Blue Tyrant Academy will take in all your students and teachers. You and Cousin can come teach there too. I'll give you ten times your current salary, and the other teachers will receive three times their previous pay."

Flender found it hard to believe. Second Sister was being so generous, but was it really appropriate for her to offer us such high salaries in front of her husband?

He looked at Huang Tian and asked, "Your Excellency, is what Second Sister said true?"

Seeing Flender gaze at him so eagerly, Huang Tian smiled. "Blue Tyrant Academy was founded by Er Long. I don't interfere with her work. Since she dares offer such high salaries, she naturally recognizes your teaching standards. Besides, she has known you for many years and knows you well enough."

Flender hesitated. Founding a school had been his dream, but he truly had no talent for running one. He had also never shown any respect to the noble lords, offending quite a few people in Suotuo City. The academy had been doing worse and worse precisely because those noble lords had been secretly making things difficult for him.

Yu Xiaogang poked his old friend on the shoulder and leaned closer, speaking quietly. "The academy is already running out of money to buy the medicinal herbs the children need for training. You said yourself that they might be our last batch of students. Now that Second Sister is willing to take us in, we might as well merge the schools."

"Yu Xiaogang, are you still my good brother?" Flender glared at Yu Xiaogang irritably.

"It's precisely because I'm your good brother that I'm advising you to merge the schools. We can't delay the students' futures." With his hands behind his back, Yu Xiaogang said calmly, "Our academy has never been registered in any country, so it isn't recognized by the educational world at all. If we don't merge, these students will miss the Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament in a few months."

Liu Erlong smiled. "Boss Flender, after the merger, if the students from your academy have sufficient talent and strength, they can all participate in the Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament. I can guarantee you that."

"Second Sister, are you serious?" Flender still found it hard to believe. The few students at his academy were indeed strong, but he did not believe Blue Tyrant Academy lacked students with exceptional strength.

Liu Erlong smiled. "Boss Flender, Blue Tyrant Academy doesn't have many students above level thirty. After all, talent differs. No matter how hard they work, they cannot keep up with the cultivation speed of prodigies. As long as your ranked students are given time, they will definitely grow into Title Douluos."

"Then... all right. Let's merge the schools. For the little monsters' growth, it's fine if Shrek Academy disappears." Flender made up his mind. He could no longer keep the academy running, and since Liu Erlong was willing to merge the schools, he would agree.

"Very good, Boss Flender. You've made a very wise decision. Your students outside will be extremely grateful to you in the future." Liu Erlong stood up, walked over, and patted Flender on the shoulder. She continued, "To show Blue Tyrant Academy's sincerity in this merger, we will appoint you as the academy's vice principal. None of the teachers may interfere with the cultivation or courses of the teachers and students you bring, so as not to disrupt your student-training plans. The academy will provide cultivation resources at twice the previous amount per student."

Huang Tian watched the excitement from the side, deeply moved. In the original story, Liu Erlong had voluntarily renamed Blue Tyrant Academy as Shrek Academy and stepped down to the position of vice principal. Yet now, Blue Tyrant Academy was merging with Shrek Academy. From this day onward, the unrecognized Shrek Academy would completely vanish from the continent, and the future-famous Shrek Seven Devils would become the Lanba Seven Devils.

The root of it all was that Liu Erlong was now a level 99 Title Douluo. Her immense strength gave her absolute confidence, and behind her stood Huang Tian, who possessed the power of a god, as her support. Merging Shrek Academy was an effortless matter.

Liu Erlong even hoped that one day, her Blue Tyrant Academy would surpass the Five Great Element Academies and Spirit Hall, becoming the most powerful Advanced Soul Master Academy on the entire continent.
