Qin Ming's Shock

"Your nephew's teacher?" Qin Ming asked in confusion.

"Hehe." Flender smiled and patted Yu Xiaogang on the shoulder. "You're still hiding it? Do I have to tell everyone that Yu Tianheng is your nephew?"

"What?" Oscar said in shock.

"Flender, I've told you many times. I no longer have anything to do with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

Yu Xiaogang angrily pointed at Flender, then clasped his hands behind his back and walked over to stand by the wall.

Flender slapped his forehead. "Forgive me for saying too much. I didn't expect him to still care so much about it. Sigh."

Liu Erlong let out a soft sigh, walked over, and said, "Teacher Qin Ming, I'm Tianheng's aunt. Thank you for teaching him."

Qin Ming looked at Flender in confusion. "This is?"

"Her name is Liu Erlong. She's a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the dean of Blue Tyrant Academy. She really is your student Yu Tianheng's aunt," Flender introduced.

"Liu Erlong? A ninety-sixth-rank Title Douluo? Ah, this junior, Qin Ming, greets Senior Liu!" Qin Ming was stunned and cupped his fists in salute. He had never imagined that Liu Erlong, who had appeared on the ranking yesterday, was actually his student Yu Tianheng's aunt. It was truly unbelievable.

Liu Erlong nodded and smiled. "No need to be so polite. You're Tianheng's teacher, so you're naturally of the same generation as me. Just call me Dean Liu."

"Come, let me introduce you to someone else. This is the father of Tang San from our Shrek Seven Devils, His Majesty Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao." Flender pulled Qin Ming over to Tang Hao's side and spoke respectfully.

"Qin Ming greets His Majesty Clear Sky."

Qin Ming hurriedly saluted him. Everyone in this room was an important figure. There were already two Title Douluo—could there be someone even more terrifying?

"This is Dean Liu's husband, Huang Tian! He is also the number one on the Peerless Prodigy Ranking!" Flender said respectfully. Ever since learning Liu Erlong's husband's true identity yesterday, he had nearly wet himself in fright. This man was a god. He never expected Sister Erlong to have married a god—no wonder her strength had risen so rapidly.

"Qin Ming greets Your Majesty!" Qin Ming was dumbfounded upon hearing Dean Flender's introduction. There really was an even more terrifying great figure here! He stood dazed for a moment before recovering, then hurriedly dropped to one knee, placed his right hand over his left shoulder, and bowed.

Huang Tian looked at the refined Qin Ming, nodded, and smiled. "Not bad! You're already a sixty-second-rank Soul Emperor! You're qualified to be a teacher."

Flender was overjoyed upon hearing this and hurriedly said, "Qin Ming, why aren't you thanking His Majesty Huang Tian? With those words, you can come with us to Blue Tyrant Academy and become a teacher!"

Huang Tian's words represented recognition. He could now bring this former student to his side and make him a teacher at Blue Tyrant Academy. Qin Ming's future would become even brighter.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Huang Tian!"

Although Qin Ming did not understand why, since Dean Flender had said so, he naturally voiced his thanks. What puzzled him was that wasn't Shrek Academy doing just fine? Why did he suddenly need to go teach at Blue Tyrant Academy? Were the schools merging?

Huang Tian smiled. "Rise."

After receiving the order, Qin Ming rose from the ground and retreated to Flender's side.

Flender knew what Qin Ming was wondering and explained, "Our academy is about to merge with Blue Tyrant Academy. Shrek Academy here will cease to exist. I asked you to thank His Majesty Huang Tian because I want you to resign from Heaven Dou Royal Academy and join Blue Tyrant Academy with us teachers. Think about it—what kind of terrifying existence will Blue Tyrant Academy become in the future with several Peerless Title Douluo backing it?"

Qin Ming looked at Flender gratefully. The dean was still so concerned about his future and had already thought everything through for him. How could Qin Ming ever forget such kindness? He said excitedly, "So that's how it is. Dean, don't worry! Once we return this time, I'll resign from Heaven Dou Royal Academy and enter Blue Tyrant Academy with you and Vice Dean Zhao."

"Come, let me continue introducing this distinguished guest. This is Tang San's aunt, Her Majesty Tang Yuehua, the dean of Heaven Dou Royal Etiquette Academy, the master of Moonlight Pavilion, and also a Title Douluo," Flender continued.

"Qin Ming greets Your Majesty."

Another Title Douluo. Tang San's background was so terrifying. If he was not mistaken, His Majesty Tang Xiao and His Majesty Tang Chen on the Peerless Prodigy Ranking were also his elders, weren't they? This Shrek Academy, which he had once attended, had actually recruited such formidable students.

Tang Yuehua smiled gently. "Teacher Qin Ming, there is no need to be so polite. Rise."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After thanking her, Qin Ming stood up and returned to Flender's side.

Flender said to the Shrek Seven Devils, "You must be wondering why Qin Ming is here. It's actually very simple. Like you, he was once a member of Shrek Academy, and he was also one of its most outstanding students."

Qin Ming stepped forward and said warmly, "Hello, junior brothers and sisters."

"Hello, Senior!" X7

The Shrek Seven Devils all greeted him.

Seeing that there was nothing else to watch, Huang Tian said, "Everyone, carry on with your conversation. We'll head back first. See you at Shrek Academy."

With that, he stepped out from the crowd and waved his hand. A Spatial Tunnel abruptly appeared in the room, and Huang Tian walked into it. Liu Erlong and Tang Yuehua followed close behind, while Tang Hao followed after them as well. Only after Tang Hao's figure completely disappeared did the Spatial Tunnel vanish.

"Dean, what was that?" Qin Ming asked, baffled.

"A Spatial Tunnel opened by His Majesty Huang Tian. He can freely control where the entrance and exit of the Spatial Tunnel are. They're already at Shrek Academy now," Flender said enviously.

"Is that ability something only gods can possess?" Qin Ming asked.

"Perhaps," Flender sighed.

Upon hearing their conversation, Yu Xiaogang turned around and said, "Not necessarily. A spatial-type martial soul can open a Spatial Tunnel at the Title Douluo level, but its range is extremely limited. Spatial-type martial souls are also exceedingly rare; one can hardly even hear of their existence. I only saw records about them in ancient books."

Flender interrupted Yu Xiaogang. "No one has ever even heard of spatial-type soul masters. This is clearly divine power, something only gods can accomplish."

Zhao Wuji said, "Everyone, it's getting late. Let's go find the Soul Fighting Arena manager and exchange our points."

"Right, right, right! I nearly forgot!" Flender slapped his forehead and was the first to leave the room.

"Hmph, that miser!"

Everyone hurriedly followed Flender toward the point exchange counter.

At the point exchange counter, the manager of the Soto Great Spirit Arena had already been waiting with a maidservant. Seeing them arrive, he took out a black card and said, "This is the ten thousand Gold Soul Coins the Great Soul Arena promised your team leader. This black card is accepted at all banks across the continent."

Dai Mubai took the black card. After only one glance, Flender snatched it away and held it up to the light, examining it over and over. Everyone was speechless.

"These are your individual point records. Please check whether there are any issues."

After the maidservant handed the point records to Dai Mubai and the others, she returned to stand beside the manager and watched them.

After the seven confirmed that there were indeed no problems, they said, "No problems."

The manager applauded as he said, "Congratulations to the six of you for successfully advancing to Silver Soul Fighters. Tang San, congratulations on becoming a Gold Soul Fighter. Across the entire continent, we have never encountered fighters who advanced in rank like you. This is also a first for our Great Soul Arena!"

After receiving their respective fighter badges, everyone's eyes lit up. Only they knew how much hardship they had endured to earn these badges. At last, their wishes had been fulfilled.

"Alright, the second stage of the trial has ended. Let's return to the academy. We must not keep our distinguished guests waiting."

"Yes."
