Great Master Yu: Sleeping in a Pigsty is Pretty Nice!

"Do you have any idea what the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul represents? With my help, the overall strength of any Spirit Master group can be vastly improved," Ning Rongrong said angrily.

"But I suppose I can understand you. As a country bumpkin from the sticks, how could you have ever seen the power of a legacy Martial Soul from the Upper Three Sects?"

"Today, I'll broaden your horizons!"

"Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Manifestation."

Ning Rongrong's figure traced a graceful, brilliant arc in place, like a rainbow blooming in the morning light. In an instant, a dazzling seven-colored radiance erupted from her body, staining the entire space with dreamlike hues.

Where the light converged most intensely, a miracle occurred. Slowly, the young girl raised her right palm, upon which rested a crystal-clear, seven-colored pagoda about a foot tall. It was not merely a condensation of light, but a symbol of nobility and power. It shone with a precious luster that one dared not look at directly, exuding an extraordinary aura that made Ning Rongrong appear like a fairy descended from the heavens—transcendent, otherworldly, and untouched by dust.

Immediately following this, two brilliant yellow Spirit Rings rose quietly from beneath her feet. Like loyal guardians, they circled her body with a light, rhythmic motion, adding a touch of mystery and majesty.

This was the world-renowned Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, hailed as the crown of Support System Tool Martial Souls on the continent. Like a rare treasure, this Martial Soul had been passed down through the generations within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect; only those of direct bloodline could be fortunate enough to bear this honor and power.

"I am a Support System Spirit Master with Innate Full Spirit Power at level nine. Do you know what that means?"

"So what if you're level nine?" Shen He shrugged, pointing toward Tang San not far away. "He has Innate Full Spirit Power."

Hearing Shen He's words, Tang San proudly puffed out his chest.

Xiao Wu was not to be outdone, saying, "I also have Innate Full Spirit Power."

Flender, standing to the side, said indifferently, "Oscar also has Innate Full Spirit Power."

Hearing Flender's words, Ning Rongrong's face instantly drained of color. She shouted, "No, that's impossible! How could a Food System Martial Soul have Innate Full Spirit Power?"

Due to inherent limitations, a Support System Spirit Master with Innate Full Spirit Power had never existed before.

Therefore, Ning Rongrong had always believed that as a level nine, she stood at the pinnacle of Support System Spirit Masters.

She never imagined that Uncle Big Sausage, Oscar—whose spirit incantations were so lewd—would actually possess Innate Full Spirit Power.

"Oscar is an unprecedented existence. It is very likely that in the future, he will replace the status of your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the Spirit Master world. If you are to be the future leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, I feel pessimistic about the future of your sect," Flender said calmly.

Ning Rongrong stood there in a daze. The words of Shen He and Flender struck like a heavy hammer, completely shattering the pride she once held.

"Shen He, explain to me why."

Great Master Yu dragged Tang San in front of Shen He, about to say something, but was immediately interrupted by a wave of Shen He's hand.

"Great Master Yu, I am the Dean of Shrek Academy now, and we are currently in class," Shen He said indifferently. "When working, you must address me by my title."

"Don't pull that on me!" Great Master Yu said angrily. "Explain to me why you arranged for me and Little San to stay in a pigsty!"

Since Shrek Academy now belonged to him, Shen He naturally wouldn't be stingy.

He bought up all the vacant houses in the village, fenced off a large plot of land, and then hired craftsmen to build classrooms, dormitories, a cafeteria, and other such facilities.

"I recall that you aren't a teacher at our Shrek Academy, are you?" Shen He said indifferently. "Give me one reason why I should arrange housing for you."

Flender hesitated, waving his hand as he said in a low voice, "Shen He, Xiaogang is my friend after all, he..."

"Oh, Teacher Flender, of course I know that Great Master Yu is your old friend," Shen He chuckled. "He came to you for help, so you naturally have to take care of him!"

"But I am the one managing Shrek Academy right now. Friendship is one thing, but business is business; personal and professional matters must be kept separate."

"Tang San and the others don't come from wealthy families, so I waived their tuition fees directly. Haven't I done enough?"

Hearing this from Shen He, even Tang San couldn't find anything to say.

It wasn't just the four new students; even Dai Mubai and the others had their tuition fees waived for the current year.

After all, with the Narrator Modification System, money held no meaning for Shen He; experience points were the only things he sought.

"However, Great Master Yu is neither a teacher nor a worker at our Shrek Academy. By what right is he eating for free here?"

Great Master Yu was so angry he stomped his feet, shouting, "Shen He, do you think that I, the Number One Theoretical Master of the Soul Master World, am incapable of teaching this group of children?"

"Great Master Yu, please be mindful. These so-called children you speak of actually have cultivation levels mostly on par with yours, and some are even higher," Shen He said calmly.

He then turned to Dai Mubai and the others and asked, "Some of you may know Great Master Yu, while others may not. He is Tang San's mentor; Tang San was raised and taught by him from a young age."

"Now, Great Master Yu wants to become a new teacher at our Shrek Academy. Who agrees, and who objects?"

Dai Mubai and the others looked a bit confused at first, but upon hearing that Tang San was Great Master Yu's personal disciple, they all raised their hands in unison.

"I object!"

They weren't joking. If it weren't for Tang San's Martial Soul holding things together, he would just be a total freak and a loser. Who would want a teacher like that joining the academy?

Shen He nodded with a smile. "Very good. The eyes of the masses are sharp. Great Master Yu, it is a pity, but you cannot become a teacher at our Shrek Academy."

"There is still a vacancy for a handyman in the academy—cleaning up, scrubbing the latrines—if you are willing to do that, you can stay."

"As for the dormitory issue, you and Tang San must sleep in the pigsty. That is the academy's decision."

"By what right do you make me sleep in a pigsty?!" Great Master Yu's eyes seemed to spit fire as he shouted.

Upon hearing this, a strange expression appeared on Shen He's face. "Let me ask you, what is your Martial Soul?"

"A pig!"

"And what is Tang San's Martial Soul?"

"Also a pig!"

Shen He clapped his hands. "Isn't that settled then? I've found the optimal Mimetic Cultivation Environment for you all. It's all for your own good!"

"Pfft!"

Dai Mubai and the others couldn't help but burst out laughing upon hearing Shen He's words.

Even Ning Rongrong, who had been feeling a bit depressed just moments ago, had her shoulders shaking as she tried her best to hold back her laughter.

Great Master Yu was furious when he heard Shen He tell him to sleep in a pigsty.

Shen He shifted his focus, and the "fury" in the narration instantly transformed into "joy."

In a split second, the rage in Great Master Yu's eyes turned into delight. He exclaimed loudly, "This is wonderful! Sleeping in a pigsty is truly top-tier!"

"Especially seeing the pigs' excrement—if I don't smell that scent, I can't even eat a meal every day!"

Afterward, he patted Tang San on the shoulder and said, "Little San, I have some good news and some bad news. Which one do you want to hear?"

"The bad news?" Tang San said hesitantly.

"The bad news is that if we live in the pigsty, we might have to survive by eating pig excrement from now on!" Great Master Yu said.

Tang San was instantly dumbfounded. "Then what's the good news?"

"There's plenty of excrement to go around!"
