They narrowly escaped death along the way and had to be constantly on guard against sudden attacks from Spirit Beast. If it weren't for Tang Hao's protection in the shadows, Flender and the others would never have made it out of the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Dean, it's all over now. Take it easy. The most important thing now is to join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy." Dai Mubai was trying to calm Flender down. Flender had been under the most pressure for the past three months, and now that he had finally reached his goal, he couldn't hold back any longer and finally broke down.
"Yes, go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and find Xiao Ming. Didn't he say he'd already arranged everything?"
Flender and the others dusted off their clothes. The name of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy was well-known, and many of its students came from noble families.
Having spent nearly three months in the wild, their clothes inevitably accumulated some dust. In order to leave a good first impression, they cleaned themselves up before stepping onto the stone steps leading to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Just as the Shrek Academy group was heading up the mountain, an untimely voice suddenly rang out. "This is the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, not a place for beggars like you."
"The five hundred Soul Ascension Pill are right here. Please have the three Education Commissioners verify them."
Ye Tianxing smiled and pushed over five brocade boxes containing one hundred Soul Ascension Pill each.
Sitting in front of them were none other than the three members of the teaching committee of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy: Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, Zhi Lin.
Meng Shenji laughed heartily, " Sect Master Ye is joking. We trust your reputation. If it weren't for the Soul Ascension Pill you invented, I'm afraid my Soul Power would never have been able to improve in this lifetime."
The three education commissioners benefited greatly from the Soul Ascension Pill.
Meng Shenji used this opportunity to reach level 89 Soul Douluo, becoming the number one person below Titled Douluo.
Of course, this is just how the Heaven Dou Empire refers to this Education Commissioner, and how much of it is exaggerated is unknown.
Bai Baoshan and Zhi Lin had both taken the Soul Ascension Pill, which increased their Soul Power by three levels. Therefore, they were extremely grateful to Ye Ping'an.
The four chatted and laughed, unaware that chaos had already broken out down the mountain.
Just then, a teacher suddenly arrived and whispered in Meng Shenji's ear.
"What?! Such a thing actually happened!" Meng Shenji was greatly shocked. Then, he turned to Ye Tianxing and said with deep regret, " Sect Master Ye, I am truly sorry. Something has happened at the academy that I need to deal with urgently."
Ye Tianxing nodded, and then Meng Shenji left with Bai Baoshan and Zhi Lin.
Ye Tianxing slowly stood up and went outside the reception room.
One must climb to the summit to survey all the lesser peaks below.
The Heaven Dou Royal Academy is built against the mountain, with beautiful scenery. The main design of the academy blends into the mountain, making its design style unique among all the advanced Soul Master Academy on the continent. It is inseparable from the nobility and elegance that the royal family has always emphasized.
The reception room where Ye Tianxing was located stood atop the mountain, offering a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of the academy.
" Tang San and Flender's group have finally arrived. They've traversed the Star Dou Great Forest for three months, and had to evade pursuit along the way. It must have been tough for them."
"Don't think you're safe just because you've come to Heaven Dou City. Your hard times have only just begun."
Ye Tianxing's sharp, eagle-like eyes pierced through the clouds, clearly seeing the scene unfolding below the mountain.
Over the past three months Tang San, Flender, and their group have traversed mountains and rivers, and their clothes are inevitably worn out. As a result, Xue Beng mistook them for beggars and the like, and thus they were beaten by Dai Mubai.
Xue Beng has a special identity; he is the youngest son of Emperor Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire Emperor, which is why someone came to inform Chief Meng Shenji just now.
Before long, Qin Ming, who had come upon hearing the news, was surprised to find that the people in front of him were very familiar. When Flender wiped the ashes off his face and revealed his true appearance, Qin Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Dean Flender, you've finally arrived."
Qin Ming was overjoyed and turned to Meng Shenji and the other two who had also rushed over upon hearing the news, saying, "Chief, these are the Shrek Academy I mentioned to you. The one in the lead is none other than Flender, the Dean of the Shrek Academy."
Meng Shenji was somewhat surprised. Three months ago, he had heard Qin Ming say that his alma mater wanted to move into the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and become a member of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Especially after learning that Shrek Academy's Dean Flender was a Soul Saint, and that the other teachers in the academy were also Soul Saint or Soul Emperors, Meng Shenji and immediately agreed.
Now, more than three months later, when Meng Shenji first saw the group led by Flender... where did this group of beggars come from?
Not only were they disheveled and their clothes tattered, but they also reeked of a foul stench, clearly indicating that these people hadn't bathed for three months.
Today, the Spirit Hall has a presence in almost every town in the Heaven Dou Empire, and it previously annexed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's branches throughout the empire.
The Spirit Hall was pursuing them so closely that these people didn't dare to enter the city and could only live like savages in the wild. Where could they take a bath?
Except for Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, who were relatively clean, the others were no different from beggars.
When a group of such people appeared in front of the gate of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, it was perfectly reasonable for Xue Beng, who happened to be passing by, to mistake them for beggars.
The Heaven Dou Royal Academy was founded by the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. If a group of "beggars" were to appear in the academy, it would be a great insult to the dignity of their royal family.
Meng Shenji: "..."
"Everyone, come in and wash up first, then we can discuss the merger."
Since they were already there, Meng Shenji couldn't very well kick them out.
"Thank you very much, Chief Meng Shenji." Flender breathed a sigh of relief. They had traveled thousands of miles and risked their lives to come to Heaven Dou City, and they couldn't be turned away before they even got inside.
At the summit, outside the Council Hall.
Ye Tianxing witnessed everything. When he saw Tang San, Flender, and their group enter the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, he knew he was going to be the villain again.
He really didn't mind being the villain, especially in front of Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, who were even more wicked than himself.
Flender and his entourage went to wash up and change clothes, and would have to wait a while before they could come to the Council Hall to discuss the merger.
Before long, Meng Shenji and the other two walked in hand in hand. When they saw that Ye Ping'an had not left yet, they immediately put on smiles and went forward.
"What just happened?" Ye Tianxing asked casually as he sipped his tea.
Meng Shenji smiled and said, " Sect Master Ye, a group of students will be joining our Heaven Dou Royal Academy later. As the head of a sect, would you be interested in taking a look and seeing if these people are qualified in your opinion?"
"That's good news. I wonder which academy has received such an honor?" Ye Tianxing continued to ask, his eyes becoming somewhat subtle.
Bai Baoshan said, "They are from the Shrek Academy in Suotuo City."
"It's them, I recognize them."
"Are they famous?" Zhi Lin asked.
Ye Tianxing laughed and said, "I'm more than just famous. I used to be a member of the Shrek Academy."
"What!"
The three, Meng Shenji, were shocked.
