Just as Li Ang was busy using the same routine he had used on Zhu Zhuqing to fool Ning Rongrong, the seemingly peaceful Shrek Academy was not as peaceful as it appeared.
Because Shrek Academy had welcomed another round of Parents' Meetings.
Why another? Because there had already been one before. Haotian Douluo Tang Hao had shown up uninvited, beaten up teacher Zhao Wuji, and then threatened Zhao Wuji and Flender, telling them to properly teach his son, Tang San. If anything went wrong, he would come looking for trouble with the academy!
Zhao Wuji and Flender had been left full of MMP!
Fortunately, Tang Hao was currently wanted by Spirit Hall. Spirit Hall's experts had cast a vast net, determined to capture him and bring him to justice.
So, being able to attend one Parents' Meeting was already his limit. After making a few threats, Tang Hao left directly.
However, Tang San was far from the only student at Shrek Academy with an impressive background.
Thus, not long after the previous Parents' Meeting ended, this second one was forced into being.
Of course, the two parents from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had a much gentler attitude than the simple and brutish Tang Hao.
After entering Shrek Academy, the two went straight to find Flender, Shrek Academy's headmaster, and held a "cordial and friendly" talk with him.
The two Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Soul Masters attending the Parents' Meeting were an eighty-sixth-rank Soul Douluo and a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Sage.
Their strength was enough to crush all of Shrek Academy. Left with no choice, Flender could only promise that the academy would place greater emphasis on quality education in the future, strengthen its students' moral character, and prevent campus violence.
In short, he said a whole lot of nice things before finally satisfying the two lords from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Thinking of his current miserable circumstances, Flender could not help but feel grief welling up in his heart. He was definitely the lowliest Soul Master Academy headmaster in all of Douluo Dalu.
Thinking of Dai Mubai, the instigator behind all of this, Flender decided that he would properly educate that young man tomorrow.
He could not afford to provoke Haotian Douluo, nor could he afford to provoke the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. But a fallen prince of the Star Luo Empire like Dai Mubai was still acting so arrogantly. Was that okay? It was not okay!
Therefore, Flender planned to properly cultivate Dai Mubai's virtues of humility and courtesy tomorrow, so that brat would stop causing trouble for him all day long.
As for the academy motto that those who dared not cause trouble were mediocre, Flender had long forgotten where he had tossed it. He was not actually stupid. Such words were fine for fooling young people who had just begun their journeys.
But in Douluo Dalu, no one dared to act so recklessly. Even people from Spirit Hall would be attacked by the masses and die horribly if they caused too much trouble.
So, when making one's way through the world, only caution and reading the situation could ensure a long life. Even if one truly wanted to cause trouble, one had to pick on the weak. If he really encountered a tough opponent, Flender guaranteed he would be more cowardly than anyone else.
Of course, Ning Rongrong, who was currently in the student dormitory, had no idea that her family's elders had just paid Shrek Academy's teachers a visit.
At that moment, Ning Rongrong stared in astonishment at the illusory pale figure before her and asked eagerly, "Soul Elder, can you really help me?"
"Hehehe, of course I can, little girl. This old one could tell at a glance that you are a once-in-a-million Soul Master prodigy. So, how about it? Are you willing to take this old one as your master and study under me?" Li Ang wore a smile. He was thoroughly practiced at tricking a young girl who had never seen much of the world.
"Although your Soul Power is somewhat lower than that brat called Dai Mubai's, if you are willing to study under this old one, I guarantee that within less than a year, you will surpass him and avenge your humiliation."
"But, Soul Elder, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul is a support-type martial soul. It has no combat power at all!" Though Ning Rongrong was deeply astonished by the strange encounter before her, she soon realized a problem.
Soul Elder might indeed be a powerful Soul Master, but her martial soul was simply unsuited for combat.
"What is wrong with a Support Soul Master? Little girl, do you know what a qualified Support Soul Master should be like?" Li Ang asked in return.
"Stay behind my allies, make use of all available terrain and buildings in the surroundings, and support my teammates while ensuring my own safety," Ning Rongrong answered without hesitation.
As a Support Soul Master, this was what she had been taught since childhood, so Ning Rongrong did not think there was anything wrong with it.
Yet, to Ning Rongrong's surprise, Li Ang flew into a rage upon hearing this. "Nonsense! How can support be used in such an inconvenient way? Let me tell you, true support should take the lead in charging forward and wipe out every enemy. Eliminating the enemies before you is the best support you can give your teammates!"
Ning Rongrong: ???
Ning Rongrong instinctively felt that there was something wrong with Li Ang's words, but she did not know how to refute him.
After standing there in a daze for quite some time, Ning Rongrong finally said, "But, Soul Elder, Support Soul Masters are not suited to obtaining combat-type Soul Rings, are they?"
Compared to ordinary people, Support Soul Masters whose bodies were bolstered by Soul Power were indeed remarkably strong. However, compared to Battle Soul Masters, the physical abilities of Support Soul Masters were not worth mentioning.
It was precisely because of this that ordinary Support Soul Masters in Douluo Dalu hid behind their teammates and supported them.
After all, Support Soul Masters themselves were simply too fragile, and they easily drew aggro on the battlefield, making them prone to being focused down by enemies.
Therefore, the first rule in the curriculum of Support Soul Masters was to protect themselves as much as possible.
However, Li Ang did not agree with Ning Rongrong's view. Waving a hand, he said, "Support Soul Masters do not need the Soul Skills bestowed by Soul Rings when fighting. Have you never heard of self-created Soul Skills?"
"Little girl, when this old one still had a physical body, I was the number one Support Soul Master on the continent. So what if my martial soul was not suited for battle? With self-created Soul Skills, this old one could still tear apart 100,000-year Soul Beasts with my bare hands, no worse than combat-oriented Titled Douluo!"
Li Ang's round of self-praise was quite effective, especially on young people who were still inexperienced.
After all, Shrek Academy's completely unfounded boasting, which was obviously full of problems at a glance, could still attract a group of young genius Soul Masters to enroll there.
Compared with Shrek Academy's boastful claims full of holes, Li Ang's words sounded far more credible.
At the very least, Ning Rongrong could not find any problem with them for the moment.
Upon hearing Li Ang's words, Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up. "Self-created Soul Skills? Soul Elder, can a Support Soul Master like me use your self-created Soul Skills?"
