Brush Startles the Swan, Great Wall Strategist

Seeing that she had made the ranking, Diao Chan, who had been teaching Zhu Zhuqing, simply brought Zhu Zhuqing along to Su Han's little garden.

"Dean, I made the ranking."

Hearing Diao Chan's bewitching voice, Su Han knew that this enchanting woman was going to ask him for a reward again.

"Not bad. It's just that your ranking is a little low."

"Anyway, I want a reward. My reward is for the Dean to watch A'Li and me perform our new dance a hundred times!"

"All right, then. What is the one-day Dream of Illusion experience card that came with the reward for?"

"Are you talking about this? I don't know either."

As Diao Chan spread open her palm, a piece of Glazed Amethyst Crystal that looked as hazy and illusory as a dream appeared before Su Han.

"Dream of Illusion..."

Su Han gestured for Diao Chan to hand it to him. After taking it, he tried striking the inside with the power of his martial soul.

As Su Han's eyes turned golden, his half-length black hair transformed into long, flowing golden hair.

This was a technique he had developed after years of tempering himself at level ninety-nine, allowing him to fully possess the power of the Beast Soul Avatar without completely possessing his body.

"The Dean is so handsome!"

Shao Siyuan had originally wanted to let out a soft sigh, but she had indeed only seen Su Han activate his martial soul a few times. She could not help exclaiming in amazement.

She hurriedly shook her head from side to side, afraid that her sisters would laugh at her.

"What? I was so captivated by the Dean's handsomeness that I didn't notice me?"

Even Zhu Zhuqing stood frozen in place, thinking,

How could there be such an exceptionally beautiful man in this world? When Su Han invited me to enroll at Great Wall Academy, my mind had also gone completely blank.

As for Su Han, after the purest Golden Crow Power entered the Dream of Illusion Fragment, it immediately showed signs of being unable to withstand it.

After purifying it once and confirming that there was no danger, Su Han handed the crystal back to Diao Chan.

"Why are you all standing there in a daze?"

"Ah, it's nothing, it's nothing. Dean, do you know what this crystal is used for now?"

Shao Siyuan was the first to recover and immediately called out loudly to the other women.

"It can enhance spiritual power?"

Su Han kept track of the time after entering it. In less than a minute, a tiny stream had flowed into his vast, sea-like spiritual power. For him, it was better than nothing.

But if Diao Chan cultivated inside it for a day, her spiritual power should double.

Spiritual power was an extremely precious attribute. Among the six Spirit Bone locations, the skull was the best precisely because it could greatly enhance a Soul Master's spiritual power while also resisting a certain degree of mental attack.

In battles between high-level Soul Masters, this was exceptionally valuable.

"It can help Diao Chan increase her spiritual power. Hurry up and use it."

"Wait until the Golden Ranking pauses. Then you can watch me dance first before I absorb it."

Diao Chan refused to comply with Su Han. Last year, he had promised to watch her new dance, but then he took Shao Siyuan to look for the Ninth Spirit Ring and was gone for a month. When he returned, he said he had forgotten.

Hmph, Diao Chan isn't so easy to fool.

"This time, I'll do as you say."

Watching Diao Chan dance was actually a pleasure for Su Han, but he really had forgotten that time. Besides, he had watched her dance for several days afterward.

Shrek Academy,

Oscar, who had been counting how many members of each faction had made the ranking, suddenly let out a scream.

"Just one more person from Great Wall Academy and they'll catch up to Spirit Hall. Their rankings are even higher."

Although Yu Xiaogang still maintained the bearing of a Master, when he declared that Great Wall Academy would not make the ranking again, two invisible slaps had already struck his old face.

"You don't need to look at this ranking. With your talents and my theoretical guidance, all of you will rank among the top ten on this list in the future.

"Moreover, I have determined that the Golden Ranking will definitely have more than just a Power Ranking. If there is a Talent Ranking, it will naturally belong to you little monsters. If there is a Wisdom Ranking, I will take the top spot without hesitation. And if there is a Merchant Ranking, haha, it will definitely be your Dean Flender."

Yu Xiaogang clearly wanted to say something inspiring to ease the atmosphere, and had even tried to add a joke at the end.

But the smile forced onto his stiff face was truly unbearable to look at.

"Right! If there is a Talent Ranking, our school's people will definitely take up most of the top ten!"

Seeing that the atmosphere remained awkward, Ma Hongjun hurriedly said something flattering as well.

"That's right, that's right. You're all little monsters. In the future, you'll definitely become big monsters and old monsters. Sixteenth place on this Power Ranking is absolutely not your limit."

"You're the old monster!"

Xiao Wu retorted without holding back, and Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others all burst out laughing.

The atmosphere throughout Shrek Academy relaxed considerably.

Yu Xiaogang seized the opportunity and hurriedly showed off his earlier deduction.

"Besides, I think Great Wall Academy is already at the end of its strength. The later rankings will definitely still be dominated by Spirit Hall, with the remaining spots probably going to the mysterious powerhouses of Sea God Island."

Unaware that Sea Dragon Douluo was already the second strongest fighter on Sea God Island, Yu Xiaogang once again made a bold claim.

As a Theory Master, could he really not even analyze the field he was best at? Did he not care about his reputation anymore?

[Golden Ranking Combat Power, fifteenth place: Great Wall Academy, Surprise Douluo—Shangguan Wan'er!]

[Martial soul: Surprise Brush. Level ninety-seven Power Attack System Super Douluo!]

Yu Xiaogang's smile froze on his face, and Shrek Academy, whose atmosphere had just relaxed, fell silent once again.

The various factions did not actually feel much about the members of Shrek Academy making the ranking.

But Great Wall Academy was different. They were all academies, so why could one academy suppress Spirit Hall, publicly acknowledged as the foremost Soul Master force, like this?!

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, rear mountain.

Chen Xin stared at the sky helplessly.

"Again?!"

Li Bai laughed beside him. The people on Douluo Continent were so amusing. One after another, they had clearly never seen much of the world.

"Brother Li, how does your academy teach its students?"

"Simple. If you can withstand one move from the Dean, you get a day off."

Although Li Bai had only just been summoned by Su Han, in his mind, Great Wall Academy had always existed, and he had always been there too. He had merely just returned home.

"Brother Li, doesn't that mean you never have to cultivate, yet can still have such a high cultivation level?"

Chen Xin asked curiously. With Li Bai's level-eighty-nine cultivation, he could draw with Chen Xin, a Super Douluo who had already reached level ninety-seven after receiving the Golden Ranking's reward.

No matter how strong the Dean of Great Wall Academy was, surely Chen Xin could withstand ten moves from him.

"Other than one brother and three young ladies, no one else has ever gotten a day-off slip."

"Are you talking about the four people on the ranking?"

Although Chen Xin's tone was uncertain, he was completely convinced inside. All four people on the ranking were Titled Douluo powerhouses. Li Bai could not withstand that move, but the four of them should be able to.

"Their names haven't appeared yet."

Li Bai said it as casually as if he were describing what he had eaten that day, yet his words stirred up a storm in Chen Xin's heart.

"Only four people have withstood one move, and they're even stronger than the four currently on the ranking!"

Chen Xin exclaimed in disbelief. This was completely contrary to his expectations.

"Isn't that normal?"
