Great Master Yu: I Spent My Whole Life Swindling Others, Yet You Hurt Me This Deeply!

"Soul Power level eight. You don't pass. Take ten Gold Soul Coins and leave!"

"Your Martial Soul is a hoe? Innate Soul Power level zero? Then why are you here for the test? Take the money and get out."

"Oh, ma'am, you're already ninety, why are you coming here to stir up trouble? What? You don't know which number is bigger, ninety or thirteen? Brilliant!"

Li Yusong was once again sitting behind the table for the first round of the entrance exam. However, as time passed, the people coming to take the freshman test were becoming increasingly bizarre.

Vegetable vendors, farmers, and even a madman who brought his chicken over to ask if it could take the entrance exam.

To get him to agree, the man had even parted the chicken's feathers down the middle and put it in a pair of overalls.

Li Yusong was on the verge of a breakdown. With skills like that, you could be grooming chickens for a living—wouldn't you have made a fortune opening a pet shop by now?

However, according to Flender's instructions, everyone who came to take the freshman test, regardless of whether they passed or not, was to receive ten Gold Soul Coins.

This was the reason so many people were participating; they were basically all residents from near Suotuo City, looking to fleece the academy.

The academy's savings that he had retrieved from the Suotuo City bank were already exhausted, and Flender had found two loan sharks from somewhere, who were currently inside the gatehouse discussing business.

"Is this Shrek Academy?"

Hearing the abrupt voice, Li Yusong looked up and realized someone had appeared beside him.

The man looked to be about forty or fifty years old, of medium build and slightly thin.

His short black hair was parted to the side, and his appearance was very ordinary, yet he carried a unique, sleazy aura about him.

The man was none other than Tang San's mentor, a man who possessed not only a trash Martial Soul but was also a trash Soul Master himself—the number one blowhard of the Soul Master world, Great Master Yu.

After Tang San left Nuoding City, Great Master Yu had been worried about his disciple, so he followed Tang San and Xiao Wu to Suotuo City.

Of course, in reality, it was because he had been eating and drinking for free for six whole years at the Nuoding Primary Soul Master Academy, where the dean was his friend, and he felt he could no longer stay there.

Although Great Master Yu was shameless, he still cared about his reputation and didn't want to be labeled a parasite.

After much deliberation, he chose to head to Shrek Academy, hoping to mooch off his old friend Flender.

Li Yusong glanced at Great Master Yu, slapped his forehead hard, and wore an expression of utter helplessness.

"Brother, you look older than me, so stop coming here to cause trouble. Hurry up, take the money and get out!"

Great Master Yu's mouth twitched, and he asked, somewhat confused, "What do you mean? Do you take me for a beggar?"

"I am your Dean Flender's good brother. Be careful, or I'll have him fire you, you old geezer!"

Hearing this, Li Yusong was slightly stunned, then said in surprise, "You're a friend of the Dean?"

"The genuine article!" Great Master Yu said, lifting his chin. "Where is Flender? Tell him to come see me!"

"Our Dean is currently in the gatehouse discussing matters with someone and cannot come out for the time being," Li Yusong said coldly.

Clearly, he had also been somewhat angered by Great Master Yu's earlier remark calling him an old geezer.

However, Great Master Yu did not care about any of this. Without saying anything to Li Yusong, he walked directly toward the gatehouse.

As it happened, Flender was just walking out of the gatehouse.

Upon seeing Great Master Yu, Flender's eyes immediately lit up. "Xiaogang, what brings you here?"

Great Master Yu lowered his head and reached up to rub his eyes, which instantly turned bloodshot.

Looking at his old friend of many years, Great Master Yu's eyes brimmed with tears as he opened his arms and walked over.

"Old Cat Eagle, it's been so many years; I've missed you to death!"

"Your brother is almost unable to afford a meal, you have to help me out!"

Flender was slightly stunned upon hearing this, then waved his hand and said, "That's not an issue at all. We agreed back then that we would share both blessings and hardships. Even after decades, that still stands!"

Great Master Yu was overjoyed to hear this. "That's good, that's good! Tell me, is there any problem with me becoming a Vice Dean here?"

"As long as you're here, everything is negotiable." Flender patted Great Master Yu on the shoulder. "Let's go, take off your clothes and come inside with me."

Great Master Yu: ???

"Uh, Old Cat Eagle, what do you mean by this?" Great Master Yu stammered. "I am a decent man. For all these years, I have remained chaste for Erlong; you can't ruin me!"

Flender said irritably, "Why would I want to ruin you?"

Afterward, he pulled Great Master Yu to the front of the gatehouse and pointed at the two people inside. "These two are my friends. They came this time to paint a portrait for me, but it can't be done while wearing clothes."

"Since you've arrived, I'll have them paint one for you too. This is called art, understand?"

Great Master Yu:

He hadn't expected that after not seeing his old friend for so many years, he would have developed such a perverted hobby. It truly caught him off guard.

However, since he was now looking to live under someone else's roof and make a living under Flender, he had no choice but to go along with whatever the man said.

It was just painting a picture together, right? He would just have to endure it and it would pass.

After hesitating for a moment, Great Master Yu found a spot where no one could see him, took off his clothes, and walked into the gatehouse with Flender.

After a while, the two "artists" left Shrek Academy, looking very satisfied.

Great Master Yu put his clothes back on and asked Flender, who was beside him, with some confusion, "By the way, Old Cat Eagle, what are all those people lining up at the academy gate for?"

Flender waved his hand while buttoning his shirt. "That's a new rule at our Shrek Academy. Everyone who participates in the entrance exam gets to receive ten Gold Soul Coins?"

"Registration comes with a Gold Soul Coin?" Great Master Yu was instantly stunned, feeling as if he'd been struck by lightning. "That is some creative shit!"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. Why hadn't he collected his money before coming to find Flender?

"By the way, those two painters earlier were so strange. Why did they make the two of us stack on top of each other?" Great Master Yu asked, puzzled. "Though their artistic skill is quite impressive; it's practically lifelike, no different from the real thing."

"Painters? They aren't painters," Flender said.

"What? Not painters?" A sudden sense of foreboding rose in Great Master Yu's heart. "Then what do they do?"

"They are loan sharks from Suotuo City. I gave out too much money today, and the academy's funds weren't enough, so I took out a loan of one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins from them," Flender explained.

Great Master Yu's mouth twitched. He grabbed Flender by the shoulders, his voice trembling as he asked, "Then the picture you had them draw just now..."

"I mortgaged the academy's land deed to them. However, they said that since I am a powerful Soul Saint, if I wanted to use force to take back the deed and welsh on the debt, there wouldn't be much they could do about it."

"So, they said they needed to draw that kind of picture of me. And it couldn't just be me; there had to be a friend or relative of mine acting as a guarantor for the contract."

"And so you made me take the fall for this?" Great Master Yu shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Xiaogang, I am dedicating myself to a great cause of charity!" Flender said, looking displeased. "Doing charity is the dream I have pursued my entire life. As my good brother, shouldn't you be supporting me?"

"Like I said earlier, we brothers share both blessings and hardships. You can't back down at a time like this!"

Great Master Yu said with grief and indignation, "Then what happens if you can't pay this money back?!"

"The contract states that if it isn't paid by the deadline, they will plaster those pictures all over the Douluo Continent."

"And when that time comes, both of us will have to go to the brothels in Suotuo City to sell our asses."

"I [expletive]! You [expletive], why did I ever get to know a [expletive] like you, you [expletive]!"

Great Master Yu was so furious that he lunged forward, grabbing Flender by the throat and squeezing until Flender's eyes rolled back in his head.

"Four-Eyed Cat Eagle, I'm going to kill you!!!"

The system's influence was already reaching its time limit, and with Great Master Yu's assault, Flender suddenly snapped back to his senses.

However, he now felt that it might have been better if he had stayed confused.

The moment he opened his eyes, he understood what kind of heaven-defying disaster he had caused.

He didn't know how he had suddenly become so possessed. The original plan for this entrance exam was to rake in money, but he had ended up turning it into a charity drive—a charity drive funded by loans, no less.

He only remembered that as he tossed the Gold Soul Coins around in handfuls, the praise and adoration of the people around him had made him feel like he was floating on air.

But now that he was sober, he realized what a massive catastrophe he had brought upon himself, saddling him with a debt as heavy as a mountain.

"My money, my money! The coffin money I've saved up for all these years is all [expletive] gone!"

Flender covered his face with his hands and knelt on the ground, wailing loudly.

Great Master Yu was also lying on the floor, weeping bitterly while rolling around.

One hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins! Even if he really went out to sell his body, he wouldn't be able to earn that much money in a lifetime!

He had spent his whole life swindling and deceiving others, only to be swindled to death by Flender in the end!

If those drawings were to spread, especially if Liu Erlong and Bibi Dong saw them, he would truly be socially dead.

For a sanctimonious hypocrite like Great Master Yu, social death was even more unacceptable than actual death.

"It's bad, Dean, it's really bad!"

Dai Mubai shoved the door open and sprinted into the room, only to see Dean Flender and a stranger cosplaying as infants, lying on the floor rolling around and crying.

Having never witnessed such a scene, Dai Mubai froze in an instant. Seeing a student arrive, Flender hurriedly stood up and wiped the tears from his face.

"What is it, Mubai? Why are you so flustered?"

Hearing this, Dai Mubai hesitated for a moment before saying, "Tang San, Tang San is about to be beaten to death!"
