New Shrek Academy

Faced with Yu Xiaogang's question, Flender was at a loss for words. After all, judging from Liu Erlong's behavior, she should not have forgotten Yu Xiaogang.

However, after that incident, Flender and Yu Xiaogang never contacted each other again. After all, that incident completely exposed Yu Xiaogang's character and his slightly dark thoughts.

Liu Erlong noticed Flender's expression and realized something was amiss. After a long while, Liu Erlong asked, "You... have you lost contact because of what happened back then?"

When faced with Liu Erlong's question, Flender naturally knew what she was referring to: both Flender and Yu Xiaogang had expressed their affection for Liu Erlong, but Liu Erlong had chosen Yu Xiaogang.

Hearing Liu Erlong's question, Flender gave a self-deprecating laugh, "Erlong, do you really think your Brother Fu is that bad? Although... I'm not that petty."

"Since you chose him back then, I naturally respect your decision. My relationship with him has nothing to do with what happened back then."

Hearing Flender's words, Liu Erlong secretly breathed a sigh of relief; this was actually the answer she wanted most.

Because Flender was equally important to her, Liu Erlong had lived alone with her mother since childhood and had hardly received any fatherly love. Although her father held a high position and was highly respected, he did not appear when her mother died, so Liu Erlong was disappointed in her father when she was young.

Afterwards, she traveled alone across the continent and the first person she met was Flender. Flender gave her the favoritism and care she had never received since childhood, and she knew that this was why she regarded Flender as her older brother.

Later, Yu Xiaogang joined their small team, and the three of them somehow managed to stay together and even created Tri-Unity Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

However, as time went by, both the eldest brother Flender and the second brother Yu Xiaogang developed feelings for their third sister, Liu Erlong, but in the end, Liu Erlong chose Yu Xiaogang.

In fact, the reason why Liu Erlong chose Yu Xiaogang was also due to the influence of her own upbringing.

At first, she had already regarded Flender as an older brother. Later, after meeting Yu Xiaogang, she discovered that although Yu Xiaogang's talent for cultivation was average, he was extremely ambitious. Since cultivation was not working, she decided to find another way.

Moreover, Yu Xiaogang's experience is very similar to hers, except that Yu Xiaogang was ostracized because of his lack of talent and ended up going out to make his own way in the world.

However, to everyone's surprise, she chose Yu Xiaogang. Fate played a cruel joke on her; the person she liked was her cousin!

Flender noticed Liu Erlong's expression, sighed, and then recounted what had happened to Liu Erlong.

Flender did not embellish the story; he simply recounted the entire event as it happened.

After hearing the whole story, Liu Erlong frowned. "How could Xiao Gang be such a person?"

Flender shook his head helplessly. "He may have been a good person back then, but as time goes by, I hardly recognize him anymore."

"He wasted his disciple's talent for his own reputation, and dismissed someone's growth just because his theory couldn't compare to a child's. He and I are no longer on the same path now."

After saying this, Flender looked at Liu Erlong: "Erlong, I don't know what you're thinking, but I won't influence your decision."

Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong sighed. She hadn't seen Yu Xiaogang for over ten years, and she wasn't sure what she really felt for that man anymore.

However, Yu Xiaogang was the first man she had ever fallen in love with in her life. For a child like Liu Erlong who grew up in such an environment, once she set her mind on someone, it was very difficult to change her mind.

But fate played a cruel trick on them; this man was her cousin, and their relationship was destined to be unfulfilled.

In the end, the two stopped discussing this topic and instead focused on the strength of the academy.

Regardless of what happens between Flender and Yu Xiaogang, it won't affect the relationship between Flender and Liu Erlong.

Compared to Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong and Flender are like family. If Liu Erlong had really married Yu Xiaogang, then Flender would have played the role of Liu Erlong's elder brother from her maternal family.

Three months is neither a long nor a short time, and there's a lot that can be done in that time.

A week after Flender and Zhao Wuji arrived at the Blue Tyrant Academy, the academy's leadership convened a meeting of all teachers. The meeting had only one agenda: Blue Tyrant Academy would be renamed Shrek Academy, with Flender appointed as the dean and Liu Erlong and Zhao Wuji as the Vice Dean.

None of the academy's teachers objected to Liu Erlong's decision. Firstly, because Liu Erlong had absolute authority, and secondly, because the two newly appointed deans and Vice Dean were both super-strong individuals at the Soul Douluo level.

Moreover, these two newly appointed deans and Vice Dean assured everyone that they would lead a group of super geniuses into the academy three months later, making a name for the academy.

Besides dedicating themselves to teaching students, the only thing that can attract the faculty is the improvement in the college's ranking.

The greater the reputation of an academy, the more geniuses it can attract. As a teacher, what could be more interesting than teaching talented students? After Flender accepted the academy, he also gained a deeper understanding of it. The academy now has more than 200 students. Because the academy does not impose many restrictions on its students, 90% of them are commoner Soul Master.

Most of the noble disciples study at the Heaven Dou Academy, so there are relatively few noble children in the academy now, and because of this, the quality of the students is generally average.

Among the few good students in the academy, the one with the highest Soul Power Level is named Tai Long, who is seventeen years old and at level thirty-five. He is already the most talented student in the academy.

Given the current level of the students, Flender decided to make some minor reforms, and the academy's admission requirements could be adjusted appropriately.

First of all, Shrek Academy still recruits all Soul Master children, but on this basis, Genius Class has been set up. The requirements for this class are the same as those for the Shrek Academy before: at the age of twelve, the Soul Power must be at least level 20 and the student must have two Hundred Year Spirit Rings.

Flender gave this Genius Class a special name: Shrek Class One. Naming the class directly after the academy highlights its special status.

Students who enter Shrek Class One not only receive a full tuition waiver, but the academy also takes care of all their living arrangements, including food, clothing, and accommodation. They can even set up a series of reward measures. However, students need to meet the requirements of this class; otherwise, they will still need to pay for their own expenses.

Liu Erlong naturally fully cooperated with Flender's reforms, because Flender also told Liu Erlong about several geniuses from the Shrek Academy. Although Liu Erlong found it hard to believe that such geniuses existed in the world, she also knew that Flender would not joke about such things.

In just three months, the former Blue Tyrant Academy was renamed Shrek Academy, and with a series of reforms, the academy has become even more prosperous.

After all, the teaching staff of the Blue Tyrant Academy was somewhat lacking. The director of the admissions office was only a Spirit King of level 50. Apart from Liu Erlong, the strongest of the other teachers in the academy was only a beginner Soul Emperor.

Now, with two Soul Douluo, one Soul Saint, and two Soul Emperor supplementing the academy's lack of teaching staff, Shrek Academy can now be considered among the top advanced Soul Master Academy.

Three months later, all the members of the Shrek Academy arrived at the new Shrek Academy, while the old site of Flender Suotuo City was given to the villagers.

After several years of renovation, the environment there is quite good, which can be considered as a way of giving back to the villagers for their help and support over the years.

Today, Shrek Academy is located in Heaven Dou City, covering a vast area. The academy even has forests and rivers within its grounds, and it is situated in a relatively quiet urban area, so it is not usually affected by external factors.

Today, Shrek Academy can be said to enjoy both the prosperity and benefits of Heaven Dou City, and also be able to conduct teaching in a quiet environment unaffected by its bustling atmosphere.

At the entrance of the Shrek Academy, five young men and women held posters in their hands, gazing at the vibrant and towering academy, momentarily lost in thought.

One of the handsome young men with short red hair said in disbelief, "Is this the new campus the teacher mentioned? It really is... quite impressive."

The long-haired blond youth standing to the side couldn't help but exclaim, "In just three months, the dean and the others have been able to achieve this level. Could they be hiding some kind of identity?"

A boy with short black hair and an ordinary appearance said, "Maybe it was sponsored by the Senior Student?"

Upon hearing this, the group raised an eyebrow, because it was indeed a possibility.

These five people were Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, Tang San, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu, who remained at the academy.

Hearing what the three boys said, Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu also kept looking around the academy. The five large, flamboyant characters of the Shrek Academy were hanging on the gate, which was indeed a stark contrast to what they had seen before.

Ma Hongjun waved his hand and said, "Stop guessing, we'll just ask the teachers later."

Just then, Oscar's clone walked out from inside the school gate. "Everyone's here? Come in with me, this will be where you all study from now on."

Upon seeing Oscar, Ma Hongjun chuckled, "Boss, where's Rongrong? Has she arrived yet?"

Oscar rolled his eyes at Ma Hongjun: "It should be soon. Are you in such a hurry to see Rongrong? Aren't you going to eat?"

Upon hearing about Oscar's flowers, Ma Hongjun smiled and said, "It's been three months since we last met..."

Dai Mubai and Tang San, who were standing nearby, couldn't help but chuckle at Ma Hongjun's expression, but ultimately remained silent.

Oscar spoke again, "Let me take you to your dorm first. I've been exhausted these past few months because of you guys."

Hearing Oscar's words, everyone smiled and then followed behind Oscar.

Oscar's clone arrived here two months ago with the other teachers from the academy, while only Ma Hongjun and the others remained at the academy to handle some remaining matters.

The treatment of students in Shrek Class One is different from that of ordinary Senior Student. They have detached villas and large open spaces, and all kinds of resources are top-notch. They are also provided with Simulated Training Ground.

After Ma Hongjun and the others walked around and learned about their future living environment, even Dai Mubai, who was born Prince, couldn't help but sigh, "This is the standard for geniuses. If we had such resources before, I would definitely be stronger."

Oscar rolled his eyes at Dai Mubai: "Stop joking. If you want to fully enjoy these resources, you have to show the corresponding strength and talent to exchange for them. Otherwise, the academy will not waste resources for nothing."

Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were filled with passion. "Senior Student, don't worry, no matter what kind of task it is, I will do my best to complete it and will definitely not let down the academy's training."

Oscar smiled slightly upon hearing this, "You should all learn from Zhuqing. No matter when, no matter what achievements you make, you must always remember to stay true to your original aspirations."

Ma Hongjun and the others nodded upon hearing this, and then followed Oscar toward the cafeteria.

Shrek Academy now has three canteens. Two of them are three-story buildings and are open to all teachers and students. However, the third canteen, although only one story high, is only open to Shrek Class One and their supervising teacher. This is a special privilege reserved for geniuses.

Initially, there were some rebellious people in the academy who reacted to this requirement. After all, they were all the same age, and no matter how talented others were, how much better could they be? Especially the current chief of the academy, Tai Long, who was straightforward. As soon as he heard that the academy had opened Genius Class, he was the first to sign up. However, the requirements for the Genius Class were very strict. To join, one had to have the corresponding strength and talent.

So Liu Erlong arranged a friendly match for Oscar. Oscar is the class monitor of Shrek Class One. If he wants to join this Genius Class, he must get the class monitor's approval.

As the current top student of the academy, Tai Long had no choice but to sign up. However, in the end, Oscar defeated Tai Long, the heir of the Strength Clan, who had Soul Power of level 35, without even using his Martial Soul.

If the opponent doesn't even use their Martial Soul, then they must be at least a Spirit King expert, right? Soul Master of that level would be more than qualified to be a teacher at the academy, yet they're just a student. How is that possible?

However, Liu Erlong eventually revealed the truth: Oscar, the class monitor of Shrek Class One, was not only a Spirit King, but also a level 55 Spirit King.

Upon hearing this news, everyone at the Shrek Academy was in an uproar. Oscar looked about the same age as Tai Long, so how could someone that age have such an astonishing Soul Power Level?

Everyone thought that Oscar, the class monitor, must be over twenty-five years old. Although he was nominally the class monitor, he was actually the teacher in charge of Shrek Class One.

After all, even a level 55 Spirit King at the age of 25 is definitely a top genius on the continent. Such a genius would probably have graduated from the academy long ago, right?

However, Liu Erlong told them that Oscar was still old enough to participate in the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament a year later.

These words caused a huge stir. By that calculation, Oscar could be no older than twenty-four, since the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament has an age limit, and those over twenty-five cannot participate.

It was precisely because of Oscar's talent and strength that all the students of the Shrek Academy understood how strict the requirements of Shrek Class One were. The former top student of the academy Tai Long, was simply a junior in front of him. After all, Tai Long went all out, but the other party defeated Tai Long without even using his Martial Soul.

In fact, it wasn't just the students of the Shrek Academy who were shocked; the teachers were just as shocked. When they first learned Oscar's age and Soul Power Level, they were even more shocked than the students, since they didn't know Oscar's true age.

When Liu Erlong learned that Oscar was only fifteen years old, he was incredulous. It was then that he understood why Flender would support Oscar instead of his former friend.

If even one Oscar is like this, what about the other geniuses? Flender did tell Liu Erlong that there would be several unexpected geniuses coming, but Liu Erlong did not expect them to be super geniuses of Oscar's caliber.

Looking across the entire continent, it's probably impossible to find another Oscar.
