Leaving a Place of Heartbreak

The Spirit Hall Sky Prison.

This is the first time Bibi Dong has visited Yu Xiaogang since he was imprisoned.

Of course, she wouldn't go to see Yu Xiaogang; instead, she would observe from afar.

After all, Yu Xiaogang is a crucial bargaining chip in the upcoming negotiations with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and he can't afford to die here.

The warden reported with a sinister smile, "Your His Holiness the Pope, Yu Xiaogang is having a very comfortable time here."

In less than a month, Yu Xiaogang's fellow inmates changed one after another.

With his small frame, how could he possibly have a good time in prison?

"Put him in solitary confinement. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will be coming to demand him soon. Make sure Yu Xiaogang doesn't suffer any injuries."

After saying that, Bibi Dong turned and left.

As a seasoned warden, if Yu Xiaogang was to have injuries, he would never be completely unharmed.

If Yu Xiaogang had no injuries, no outsider would be able to tell anything amiss!

Besides, is solitary confinement always a good thing?

Being locked in solitary confinement in a dark, sunless cell in the Sky Prison is a fate worse than death.

At first, Yu Xiaogang felt he was finally going to be free, and even cheered and celebrated while lying in his cell.

However, as time went by, he completely lost his sense of time.

The prison guards stopped bringing him food regularly, and with no one to talk to, Yu Xiaogang's behavior gradually became insane.

Shrek Academy.

The Finals was extremely important for the Shrek Seven Devils. Before setting off, Liu Erlong invited Flender to accompany them to the competition venue.

In her opinion, during the Qualifying Round, Flender suffered too much of a blow due to Ma Hongjun's passing and needed to rest properly.

Therefore, she led the team alone to the Qualifying Round.

After such a long period of time, Flender must have overcome his grief and should continue leading the team in the Finals.

In particular, the Finals of this This Tournament had a changed format. Without the collaborative help of multiple teachers, the Shrek Team alone would not have gone far.

But what she received was a cold rejection from Flender, who then announced on the spot that he would resign from his position as Dean.

Time was of the essence, and with no other choice, Liu Erlong had to set off with the main force first, giving Flender time to calmly consider the situation.

As time went by, Flender finally figured it out.

He packed his bags, ready to leave this place of sorrow forever.

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Zhao Wuji couldn't help but remind him, "Boss, the Finals have changed the format this time, and the Little Monster really need you."

"We brothers support your decision. If you decide to leave, we will leave with you."

Flender stood in front of the Dean's office, taking one last look at the layout of the academy.

Finally, he resolutely turned around and said, "Let's go. Without Hongjun, I have no heart to continue being the Dean."

Let's just pretend all of this is a dream; when the dream ends, we have to return to reality.

Zhao Wuji nodded seriously, "Old Li and the others have packed their luggage. We'll meet at the academy gate later."

Before leaving, Flender did a few last things for the academy.

He temporarily delegated the duties of the Dean to the head of academic affairs. At least, the academy wouldn't be leaderless until the Shrek Seven Devils returned.

Flender had been extremely kind and considerate to Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong.

In the past, they came together because of their Martial Soul Fusion Skill and became lifelong friends.

But all those years of brotherhood couldn't withstand Tang San's provocation, nor could they secure a spot for the Shrek Team in the competition.

Flender was completely disheartened.

After this departure, he will not return, nor will he have any further contact with the Shrek Academy.

Whether the academy will retain this name in the future is not within his consideration.

One hour later.

Flender and his fellow old comrades bid a final farewell to the academy.

Finally, without looking back, he boarded the carriage and left Heaven Dou City.

Inside the carriage, Shao Xin couldn't help but say, "Boss, we're all still young, we can't retire so early, can we?"

"How about we go do something else?"

Li Yusong was the oldest among them. He smiled and said, "I'm not old yet. If I have the chance, I'd like to give it one last shot, though of course, not to establish an academy."

"Being a teacher is really tiring; my old bones can't take it anymore."

After so much time, Flender finally came to his senses.

He certainly won't open a college anymore, but that doesn't mean he can't change careers.

In the past, he was too pessimistic and had the idea of retiring. But upon reflection, he realized that he might as well try his luck in other areas.

With this thought in mind, he smiled and said, "Everyone, think about it and see if there's a suitable industry."

Zhao Wuji spoke first, "Why don't we form Soul Hunting Team? With our strength..."

Before he could finish speaking, Flender immediately interrupted, "Soul Hunting Team, Old Zhao, are you serious?"

"We are all high-level Soul Master. Just how old of Soul Beast are we going to hunt?"

"Moreover, becoming Soul Master in Soul Hunting Team is something we're forced to do because we have no other work. Wouldn't it be beneath our dignity, as powerful figures of the continent, to do such a thing?"

Zhao Wuji scratched his head awkwardly.

He's good at fighting and killing, but asking him to use his brain to think about complex problems is really asking too much of him.

Shao Xin suggested, "Why don't we start a business?"

"We're all childless and unmarried. If we make more money, we can find a wife and adopt a son when we get old, and live a carefree life."

Flender suddenly remembered the small business he had done when he was young.

However, now that he possesses the strength of Peak Soul Saint, he certainly wouldn't bother with petty squabbles.

When these guys get together, they can totally pull off a big heist!

The Papal Hall.

Bibi Dong sat on a high seat, while Hu Liena reported on the training progress below.

"Teacher, this Two-Two-Three Battle Formation, while seemingly simple, actually involves multiple layers of strategic maneuvering."

"If the three of us from the Golden Generation choose to participate in the final Three-on-Three Soul Fighting Battle, we will most likely lose the first two matches, resulting in a complete defeat."

"The core principle of this tactic is making choices; the three of us must separate to maximize our strength."

The three members of the Golden Generation split up, with Xie Yue and Yan teaming up with other members. This wasn't a big deal, as they were able to form a fighting force in a short time.

But Hu Liena is not an option.

Her method of fighting enemies lies in Spirit Attack; if she cannot control her opponent, she has no advantage.

Apart from Xie Yue and Yan, she couldn't achieve any results when cooperating with others.

Of course, only by joining forces with Xieyue can their strength be maximized, and their Martial Soul Fusion Skill is also a major trump card.

Bibi Dong nodded slightly. "Just follow the Leading Teacher's advice on your tactics. But remember, in the Finals, you'll have to play one of each of the three types of matches."

"You must carefully manage your Soul Power consumption to avoid expending too much Soul Power in one match, which would prevent you from completing subsequent matches."

Hu Liena quickly assured her, "Teacher, don't worry, we will study diligently. And the champion of this This Tournament will only be our Spirit Hall Academy Team."
