The next day.
After Xiao Wu talked her into it, Zhu Zhuqing still decided to take a look at Shrek Academy.
She had completely lost any favorable impression of Dai Mubai, but she had nowhere else to go now.
If Shrek Academy truly was good, staying there to improve her strength would count as an option.
Of course, the most important thing was that Xiao Tian was going too.
Once they enrolled, she could find an opportunity to ask Xiao Tian for guidance. She wanted to become stronger!
At the same time, although it was not quite right to think this way, she still reserved a sliver of judgment for Dai Mubai. Having been born into the Duke Family, she naturally knew how chaotic noble circles could be. Men with power and influence could not possibly remain monogamous.
The reason Dai Weisi did not have anyone else right now was mainly because he had focused his attention on the coordination between the two of them and their competition for the throne.
That was also what angered Zhu Zhuqing the most. She did not object to having multiple wives and concubines, because she knew such things were unavoidable.
But Dai Mubai had been so debauched during the Royal Selection. Did that mean he had already given up?
Dai Weisi probably understood this point rather well. Although he was currently stronger than Dai Mubai, he followed the principle of looking down on him verbally while taking him seriously in private. The fact that he had not taken any concubines and had not indulged in excessive revelry made that clear.
Of course, this was Zhu Zhuqing's own conclusion based on what she had seen and heard. That was why she had been so cold when she saw Dai Mubai and the pair of twins beside him.
But there was nothing she could do now. With her current strength, she simply could not fight Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun alone. She could only place her hopes on Dai Mubai.
With his current strength, although he could not defeat Xiao Tian, he was at least level thirty-eight. As long as he cultivated diligently from now on, he might be able to narrow the gap between himself and Dai Weisi. It was not as though they had no chance of winning.
(Zhu Zhuqing having this mindset now is reasonable, right? She couldn't possibly wipe out all of Dai Mubai's chances at once just because she was curious. It had to happen gradually.)
Led by Yu Xiaogang, Xiao Tian and the others gradually left Suotuo City and arrived at a nearby village.
"Master, are you sure Shrek Academy is here?"
Xiao Wu frowned and spoke with some dissatisfaction.
Yu Xiaogang had promised that Shrek Academy would not disappoint them, but what was with this environment?
It looked even worse than Nuoding Academy. Nuoding Academy was at least located within the city, while this place was directly in the outskirts beyond the city. Aside from a few villagers, there seemed to be nothing else.
Still looking confident, Yu Xiaogang explained, "Xiao Wu, haven't you heard that some truly powerful experts like places with few people?"
Xiao Wu did not understand what Yu Xiaogang meant, but Xiao Tian and Tang San did.
Tang San was somewhat curious about it, while Xiao Tian merely smiled disdainfully.
Wasn't Yu Xiaogang trying to say that Shrek Academy was untouched by worldly affairs, some so-called Hidden Sect Academy, and that every teacher inside was a hidden expert?
Xiao Tian really wanted to laugh.
"Oh? So according to you, Master, all the teachers at Shrek Academy are very formidable? Can I understand it this way: Flender, the Soul Sage headmaster, is the strongest combat power on the surface, while there is actually a Titled Douluo expert hidden within the academy? Otherwise, what kind of powerful expert would that be? According to the information you gave us before, Titled Douluo are extremely rare on the continent. It must be like that, right? Unless necessary, they only want to cultivate diligently and advance toward higher realms."
The moment Xiao Wu heard Xiao Tian mention a Titled Douluo, her body stiffened.
Without drawing attention to it, Xiao Tian took Xiao Wu's small hand and held it tightly, signaling for her not to panic.
But when Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing saw that intimate gesture, both their eyes flickered unconsciously.
Tang San also looked at Yu Xiaogang with curiosity. Did Shrek Academy truly have a Titled Douluo expert?
Yu Xiaogang:
Yu Xiaogang's expression stiffened, but with everyone's eyes gathered on him, he could only force himself to say, "Yes! It's just that none of you can meet him. He usually isn't at the academy. He only returns when the academy is in danger."
When Xiao Wu heard Yu Xiaogang say that Shrek Academy truly had a Titled Douluo, her face turned pale. Her body unconsciously moved closer to Xiao Tian, and she began trembling slightly.
Xiao Tian had not expected Yu Xiaogang to be so shameless. Where would Shrek Academy get a Titled Douluo?
Could that rundown academy even afford to support one?
"Wow, Master, then what is this Titled Douluo's title? Can you tell us?"
Xiao Tian asked directly.
He wanted to see which title Yu Xiaogang would come up with!
At the same time, he slowly poured gentle Soul Power into Xiao Wu's body, soothing her as he sent her a voice transmission telling her to trust him and not worry about her identity being exposed.
Now was not a good time to tell Xiao Wu that her identity had already been exposed beneath Tang Hao's watchful eyes. He would tell her after Tang Hao left.
Yu Xiaogang felt that the people before him were not easy to fool. He suddenly remembered Tang Hao appearing before him several years ago.
He was now Tang San's teacher, and Tang Hao was Tang San's father. They were also about to join Shrek Academy.
So didn't that make Tang Hao a member of Shrek Academy?
One equation solved everything instantly!
Once Yu Xiaogang figured it out, his eyes immediately lit up!
But when he thought of Tang Hao's current identity, he immediately said solemnly, "His identity is special. Your strength is still too low, so I cannot tell you yet. Once he appears, it will cause a sensation across the continent. The only thing I can say is that he is very strong. Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's two Titled Douluo are no match for him!"
Yu Xiaogang: Your Excellency Tang Hao, if you are nearby right now, please don't blame me!
Xiao Tian now knew exactly whom Yu Xiaogang meant. Wasn't it Tang Hao?
What a clever plan. He wondered whether Tang Hao had heard it now. Hahahaha.
Tang Hao in the Dark's mouth twitched slightly. He had the urge to smash Yu Xiaogang to death with a single hammer, but remembering that Yu Xiaogang was Tang San's teacher, he endured it.
The others were somewhat surprised. Someone no weaker than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's two Titled Douluo—who could that be?
Tang San, however, looked thoughtful as he considered it in his mind. Very few people fit those conditions, but none of them seemed connected to Shrek Academy.
He was immediately puzzled, but seeing the confident expression on his teacher's face, he did not think his teacher would deceive him.

Everyone, the setting for the External Martial Soul has been revised. Sword Fifteen is now a sentient Tool Martial Soul. You can also understand it as a Wisdom Martial Soul. That shouldn't be ridiculous now, right?
