Shrek Graduates Become Martial Soul Hall Elders? Bibi Dong: Why Didn't I Know?

Ning Rongrong looked at the diary, her eyes filled with the emotion of finally finding someone who understood her.

"This Lin Yuan really has some insight!"

Ning Rongrong's favorability toward Lin Yuan shot up.

And if Lin Yuan knew that Ning Rongrong's favorability toward him was shooting up, then his goal would have been achieved.

Rather than criticizing this Little Devil in his diary, he might as well go along with her temperament.

This Little Devil was clearly the type who responded to kindness, not force.

Besides, he hadn't been wrong in the diary. She was a princess to begin with.

And with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect being so close to the Heaven Dou Empire, Ning Rongrong obviously knew all about the teaching staff at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Yet she had been scolded by a mere Soul Sage like Flender. Having never suffered a setback before, of course she had refused to accept it.

[As for Ning Rongrong daring to call Flender "a mere Soul Sage."]

[I don't think there's anything wrong with that.]

[Her horizons were where they were. In her eyes, a Soul Sage truly wasn't some major figure.]

[If she had one flaw, it was that she was too innocent and didn't take her own safety seriously enough.]

[She thought she had run away in secret and that nobody knew.]

[But didn't she stop to consider who Ning Fengzhi was? Or how much Sword Bone Douluo doted on her?]

[If they hadn't discovered her long ago, and if experts hadn't been secretly protecting her the whole time.]

[How could a young girl carrying so much money have made it safely all the way to Suotuo City?]

[How could she point at a Soul Sage's nose and curse him, while he still didn't dare do anything to her?]

[That old fox Flender was shrewd as hell!]

[He dared to accept Ning Rongrong because Ning Fengzhi had already spoken to him in secret.]

[Otherwise, even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare physically punish the Little Princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!]

[In the Original Work, Ning Fengzhi wrote Flender a letter, saying that Ning Rongrong was too carefree and knew nothing of the dangers of the outside world, so he needed Flender's help to temper her.]

[Who told Ning Rongrong to leave the sect without a word? What if she had really encountered danger?]

[Actually, Ning Rongrong had a pretty good nature. She knew how to think things through and see the bigger picture, and later on, she changed her temper.]

[Otherwise, if she had been determined to return to the sect and complain, then with how much Ning Fengzhi and the two Titled Douluo doted on Ning Rongrong, Flender probably wouldn't have escaped a beating.]

Seeing this, Ning Rongrong was completely stunned.

"So... Father knew all along?"

"So what I thought was 'running away from home' was actually always under Father's watch?"

She suddenly felt that her future self was so childish and naive.

But when she saw Lin Yuan say that her father had actually taken the initiative to ask Flender to temper her personality, she pouted in dissatisfaction.

Did she really seem that disobedient?

Back in the sect, she might have been a little lively and fearless, but wasn't that just because she wanted to make Father and her two grandfathers happy?

Seriously!

Ning Rongrong decided to keep a tally in her heart against her three relatives. They would have to compensate her properly!

"Hmph! Since Lin Yuan said so."

"Then This Miss definitely won't be going to that Shrek Academy!"

"Whoever wants to go can go!"

However...

Ning Rongrong looked at the name "Lin Yuan" in the diary, and a sly smile Appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Since this Lin Yuan understands me so well."

"Shouldn't This Miss give him a chance to praise me in person?"

"Nuoding City doesn't seem that far away."

At this moment, Ning Rongrong had the same thought as Dugu Yan.

She definitely couldn't go to that Shrek Academy, so the only remaining option was Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

[Now that I've talked about Shrek's enrollment trap, it's time to talk about its "glorious history."]

[That old bird Flender's favorite thing to brag about was:]

["Our Shrek Academy may be poor, but we produce talent! One of the students who graduated from here has already become a Martial Soul Hall Elder!"]

[A Martial Soul Hall Elder! What an honorable identity was that? At the very least, he had to be a Titled Douluo, right?]

[If that were true, then Shrek Academy would really be incredibly impressive.]

[But the question was... was it true?]

Bibi Dong: ???

When had their Elder Hall gained a Titled Douluo who had graduated from Shrek Academy?

Why didn't she, the Pope, know about this?

Flender really could brag without even drafting a script!

"Trying to leech off the reputation of my Spirit Hall?"

"Did he really think I, the Pope, was just decoration?"

Heaven Dou Empire, Prince's Mansion.

Qian Renxue also looked utterly speechless.

As the Young Master of Spirit Hall, she knew every elder in the Elder Hall.

"I've never heard of anyone graduating from Shrek."

"Looks like this academy not only scams people out of money, but also scams its way to fame."

Qian Renxue shook her head.

If she had merely looked down on Shrek Academy before, now she simply despised it.

What good students could an academy built on lies possibly teach?

The diary continued, and Lin Yuan's roasting firepower was fully unleashed.

[Aside from all the bragging, Shrek's graduation rate was another massive problem.]

[Flender himself said that Shrek had enrolled a total of sixty-two students over the twenty years since its founding.]

[But only fourteen of them were ultimately able to graduate!]

[What the hell kind of number was that?]

[An elimination rate of nearly eighty percent!]

[And there was one detail here that became terrifying the more you thought about it.]

[Where did the forty-eight students who failed to graduate go?]

[Were they expelled? Or... had they died?]

[When Tang San and the others enrolled, after all, there were only a few teachers in the entire academy, along with three older students: Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun.]

[They didn't see students from any other grades at all!]

[Logically speaking, if they enrolled sixty-two students over twenty years, that would average out to three students a year, right?]

[Then where were the students from the previous classes?]

[Students enrolled at twelve. Counting back from then, those who had enrolled during the previous eight years should have just reached the graduation age of twenty, but where were they?]

[Over eight years, there should have been at least twenty students who hadn't graduated yet.]

[If they had merely dropped out, that would have been one thing.]

[But considering Shrek's absurd teaching methods—throwing students into the Fighting Soul Arena to fight for their lives, even making them challenge opponents above their level.]

[I had reason to suspect that most of those missing students had probably already become Soul Beast droppings, or died on the Fighting Soul Arena's platforms!]

Hiss—!

Seeing this, quite a few female characters who were Peeking only felt chills run down their backs.

Ning Rongrong's face turned pale with fright.

"They died?"

"Those who didn't graduate... they all died?"

At a proper Advanced Spirit Master Academy, even if students failed to graduate, at most they would receive a Graduation Certificate and leave, or transfer to another school.

There was absolutely no way something like this could happen—where the living vanished without a trace and the dead left no bodies behind!

"What kind of academy is this..."
