What Master? Never Heard of Him.

Therefore, he would not reveal his Spirit or Soul Power. Better to remain somewhat mysterious.

Putting on a simple act was not difficult.

"I know what I'm doing!"

After Flender said that, Yu Xiaogang was clearly somewhat unhappy.

Could it be that his reputation as a master was not enough to intimidate these little students?

Yu Xiaogang believed himself to be quite famous in the Spirit Master World.

Although there were no classes that morning, the students still got up early.

As cultivators, they did not need much rest to restore their energy and physical strength.

After breakfast, Flender suddenly appeared outside the cafeteria.

He directly gathered all the students at the academy's training ground.

Following Flender, Gu Xuan spotted several people standing on the training ground from a distance.

They were probably the academy's other teachers.

As he approached, Gu Xuan suddenly saw a familiar figure.

"Damn, isn't that fucking Yu Xiaogang?"

He had not expected this guy to come so quickly.

Although Gu Xuan's expression looked perfectly normal at the moment,

he was actually rather surprised inside.

Judging by Yu Xiaogang's current state, he seemed quite calm.

That was truly rather abnormal.

After all, his beloved disciple Tang San had pulled off a series of outrageous stunts during the academy's Entrance Exam.

Since Yu Xiaogang was already standing here, he must have learned the news.

For him to remain this composed afterward was indeed baffling.

While he was lost in thought, everyone had already followed Flender to the center of the training ground.

The other students besides Gu Xuan were equally curious.

The training ground seemed especially lively today. Not only had Flender and Vice Dean Zhao Wuji arrived,

but several other academy teachers had also come to the training ground.

Even Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar wore puzzled expressions.

They were all old students, so they naturally knew every teacher at the academy.

Yet none of them recognized the middle-aged man standing among the teachers.

"Fatty, do you think that's a new teacher at the academy?"

Dai Mubai leaned closer to Ma Hongjun and quietly voiced his question.

The latter shook his fat head.

"You're asking me? Who the fuck am I supposed to ask?"

Naturally, Ma Hongjun did not know Yu Xiaogang either.

Zhu Zhuqing still wore her usual cold expression, as though she had no interest in anything.

Although Ning Rongrong was somewhat curious, she did not know any of these teachers either, so she did not ask.

Instead, Gu Xuan and Xiao Wu, who knew Yu Xiaogang,

quietly stood to the side without saying anything.

"Now that everyone is here, I have a few matters to announce."

Flender walked before the eight students, his gaze sweeping across them.

"First, I'll introduce the five newcomers to the teachers of our Shrek Academy."

Flender looked calm as he pointed to the elder they had seen at the academy gate before,

the old man whose Spirit was a long staff.

"This is Teacher Li Yusong. His Spirit is the Dragon Patterned Staff, and he is a Level 63 Soul Emperor."

Next, he pointed to a second elder, who was even older and seemed to be over seventy.

"This is Teacher Lu Qibin. His Spirit is Star Luo Chess, and he is a Level 66 Soul Emperor."

The three girls fixed their gazes on the two teachers standing to Flender's left and right, unable to hide their astonishment.

Even the academy's ordinary teachers were Soul Emperors or above.

That was truly terrifying!

Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar already knew this, so they were not surprised.

Instead, they kept their attention on Yu Xiaogang, who stood in the middle with an affectedly profound air.

They all wanted to know what background this new teacher had and whether he was equally powerful.

As for Gu Xuan, he had long been thoroughly familiar with the setting of Douluo Continent, so naturally he was not surprised at all.

At this moment, Flender began introducing the third teacher.

"This is Teacher Shao Xin. His Spirit is the Sugar Bean, and he is a Level 71 Soul Sage. A Food System Spirit Master."

"Teacher Shao is absolutely among the top five strongest Food System Spirit Masters I know."

At those words, the three girls were even more astonished.

This unremarkable, short teacher

was actually a Soul Sage, and a Food System Soul Sage at that.

It was truly rare.

After Flender's introduction, the three teachers all nodded to the students.

Though their expressions varied, they had at least greeted them.

However, Gu Xuan noticed that Vice Dean Zhao Wuji, who stood to the side, remained expressionless from beginning to end.

Moreover, he seemed somewhat repulsed by Yu Xiaogang, who stood beside him in the center position.

This...

There should not have been any conflict between them.

Why were they acting like this?

Gu Xuan, who had not been particularly interested before, began to speculate as well.

Just then, Flender pointed at Zhao Wuji and gave a simple introduction.

"This is Vice Dean Zhao Wuji, a Level 76 Soul Sage. I'm sure you already know that."

Finally, he walked straight up to Yu Xiaogang, threw an arm around the latter's left shoulder, and smiled.

"As for this last one, I must give everyone a proper introduction!"

"He is the one who, through his own research, came up with the Ten Great Spirits Competitiveness."

"He is hailed as the foremost authority on Spirit Theory and the wisest Spirit Master."

"Mr. Yu Xiaogang!"

"We've known each other for decades. You may not know much upon hearing his name."

"But I believe you've all heard his title."

"From now on, you can call him Master."

"Master?"

Ma Hongjun looked utterly confused.

"Never heard of him!"

"Who the fuck is this?"

Just then, Flender's voice rang out again.

"For the time being, Master will remain at the academy and give you some guidance."

"If you have any questions regarding cultivation, you may ask Master."

Flender's introduction had truly given Yu Xiaogang plenty of face.

Not only had he praised him in a somewhat shameless manner,

he had also not mentioned a single word about the latter's Waste Spirit or Level 29 Soul Power.

Upon hearing Flender's introduction, Yu Xiaogang rarely revealed a stiff smile.

Clearly, he was very satisfied with Flender's introduction of him.

"Master, do you have anything to say?"

Finally, Flender turned his gaze toward Yu Xiaogang, a hint of inquiry flashing through his eyes.

The implication was obvious.

Yu Xiaogang himself had requested to meet these students.

Now Flender had arranged everything.

As for whether Yu Xiaogang truly intended to "teach" these students or had some other plan,

this was clearly the best time for him to speak.

Yu Xiaogang put on an act and nodded, stepping forward to stand before the Seven people.

Then his gaze calmly swept from left to right before he spoke.

"Strictly speaking, I am not truly a teacher at this academy."

"However, over the years, I have indeed accumulated some unique insights."

"If you have any questions about cultivation or Spirits, you may come ask me."

"Also, I am Tang San's teacher!"
