Shock, disbelief, fear, confusion!

All kinds of emotions churned and surged within Liu Erlong's heart.

The thought that she had been taken down by Xia Wuyou with just a single casual spirit skill made her question her very existence.

She had trained painstakingly for decades, yet now she couldn't even last a single exchange against Xia Wuyou.

Had she been training for nothing?

If not for Xia Wuyou holding back, that last strike—had it landed on a vital spot—would have already killed her.

After a long, long bout of existential doubt, Liu Erlong finally pulled herself together.

Bearing her injuries, she slowly emerged from the rubble.

Spotting Xia Wuyou not far away, she spoke up.

"Your Excellency Wuyou! I admit, my strength truly cannot match yours!"

"But Your Excellency, if word gets out that you've resorted to such forceful seizure, aren't you afraid it will tarnish your reputation?"

Liu Erlong clutched the pain in her waist, forcing herself to stand upright.

Though her words conceded defeat, her eyes still burned with unwillingness.

Blue Tyrant Academy wasn't anything too precious to her, but she certainly wouldn't hand it over to a stranger like Xia Wuyou for nothing.

Especially since this stranger had come demanding her academy outright and had now even wounded her.

Hearing this, Xia Wuyou shrugged.

"Forceful seizure?"

"Hah! Dean Liu!"

"Don't act like you're the victim here."

Then, with a faint, knowing smile, he continued.

"I'm taking Lanba Advanced Spirit Master Academy, but not by force."

"As a member of the Golden Iron Triangle, you must be dying to know Yu Xiaogang's whereabouts and news, right?"

What did Yu Xiaogang mean to Liu Erlong?

He meant everything—he was her entire life.

In the original story, it was clear that Liu Erlong would do anything for Yu Xiaogang.

First, he'd crush her with sheer strength, then dangle the bait of Yu Xiaogang's information.

With this combination of the stick and the carrot, how could Liu Erlong not willingly hand over the academy's ownership?

For a lovesick fool like Liu Erlong, a mere Lanba Advanced Spirit Master Academy was nothing compared to Yu Xiaogang.

After all, back when she couldn't find Yu Xiaogang, she had slaughtered countless Spirit Beasts in Sunset Forest just to vent her rage.

And for Yu Xiaogang's sake, she had willingly waited over a decade in Blue Tyrant Academy without complaint.

Given the choice between Yu Xiaogang and Lanba Advanced Spirit Master Academy, Liu Erlong wouldn't hesitate for even a second—she'd pick Yu Xiaogang.

"You... what did you say?"

Sure enough, at Xia Wuyou's words, Liu Erlong's expression tensed up.

Her eyes locked onto Xia Wuyou, as if afraid she had misheard.

"Your Excellency Wuyou, are you telling the truth?"

"Do you really know where Xiaogang is and what's happened to him?"

At the mention of Yu Xiaogang's whereabouts, Liu Erlong's gaze toward Xia Wuyou shifted from anger and grievance to sheer excitement.

Now, everything about Xia Wuyou looked good to her.

Even the fact that he had just injured her was completely forgotten.

Seeing Liu Erlong so worked up, Xia Wuyou shrugged.

"Given the current situation, do I have any reason to lie to you?"

"Uh... well..."

At that, even Liu Erlong couldn't argue.

In terms of strength, she really was no match for Xia Wuyou.

Aside from wanting to take over Blue Tyrant Academy, she had nothing else worth deceiving.

Liu Erlong took a deep breath, forcing down the turmoil in her heart.

"Your Excellency Wuyou, if you can truly tell me where Xiaogang is and what's happened to him, I can decide right now—I'll give you Lanba Advanced Spirit Master Academy."

Though Blue Tyrant Academy was located in Tiandou City, a place where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, to Liu Erlong, this academy—no matter how valuable—wasn't worth a single strand of Yu Xiaogang's hair.

The reason she had established this academy back then was simply to have a stable place to wait for Yu Xiaogang to return.

Now it was time to let Lanba Advanced Spirit Master Academy realize its greatest value.

Having obtained the answer he wanted, Xia Wuyou nodded.

"Good! In that case, I'll tell you what you want to know!"

"Yu Xiaogang is currently in Suotuo City of the Balak Kingdom, working as a teacher at Shrek Academy, which Flender founded."

Without any hesitation, Li Wuyou laid out all the information and whereabouts of Yu Xiaogang.

"Heaven Dou Empire, Fasno Province, Nuoding City, Nuoding Junior Spirit Master Academy?"

"Tang San, Innate Full Soul Power, Blue Silver Grass Spirit, Xiaogang's disciple?"

"Balak Kingdom, Suotuo City, the Shrek Academy that Old Flender founded?"

After receiving the news and location of Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong fell into thoughtful contemplation.

Seeing Liu Erlong lost in thought, Xia Wuyou let out a chuckle.

"Heh! Dean Liu, as they say, true gold fears no fire!"

"As for whether Yu Xiaogang is really teaching at Shrek Academy in Suotuo City of the Balak Kingdom, you can go confirm it yourself."

"After I obtain ownership of Blue Tyrant Academy, I'll settle down and make my home in Tiandou City!"

"If you can't find Yu Xiaogang by then, you're welcome to come to Blue Tyrant Academy and settle accounts with me!"

"Of course, that's assuming you can beat me!"

Hearing Li Wuyou's words, Liu Erlong snapped back to the present.

Forcing down the turbulent emotions within her, Liu Erlong nodded.

"Alright! Your Excellency Wuyou, a great kindness needs no words of thanks!"

"From this moment on, Blue Tyrant Academy is yours!"

"I'll go notify all the faculty and students shortly to announce the news of you becoming the new dean!"

"Mhm! Dean Liu, there's no rush for that."

Just then, Li Wuyou suddenly spoke, his tone carrying a hint of authority, making Liu Erlong, who was about to leave, halt in her steps.

"Since Blue Tyrant Advanced Spirit Master Academy now belongs to me, it will follow my rules."

"As for those in Blue Tyrant Advanced Spirit Master Academy who are connected to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan—whether teachers or students—please have them cleared out by today, Dean Liu. Not a single one left."

"After all, I don't want to see scheming people everywhere in my own academy down the road."

"Dean Liu, take care of this matter first, and then you can set off for Suotuo City."

"Yu Xiaogang is in the Balak Kingdom anyway, and he's not running away from Suotuo City. Whether you go sooner or later won't make much difference."

Setting aside Liu Erlong herself, there were quite a few people throughout Blue Tyrant Advanced Spirit Master Academy who were deeply entangled with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Since he had chosen to take over Blue Tyrant Advanced Spirit Master Academy, there was no way he would leave these hidden dangers in place.
