27th Place, Shrek Academy's Pride!

[Strongest Dragon-Tiger Ranking 27th: Qin Ming!]

[Martial Soul: Blazing Fire Wolf!]

[Level: Level 94!]

[Faction/Affiliated Faction: Qingyun Sect!]

[Video Data: Wolf-type martial souls are mostly ice-attributed, but due to martial soul mutation, Qin Ming's Blazing Fire Wolf is a rarer fire-attributed martial soul.

A commoner with no lack of talent, after his martial soul awakened, he was discovered by Flender, who guided him to join Shrek Academy, becoming one of its first disciples!

From then on, Shrek Academy established its enrollment rules.

At the time of formal enrollment at age thirteen, the Soul Power Level must reach Level 21 or above, and the first two Spirit Rings must be century Spirit Rings. Only after passing four assessments can one formally enroll.

The graduation requirement is that by age twenty, one's Soul Power cultivation must break through Level 40, reaching Soul Ancestor before graduating.

Graduation grants a noble title!

A Soul Master who dares not cause trouble is a mediocrity!

Recorded by Martial Soul Hall as the youngest Soul Emperor on the continent!]

Balak Kingdom, Shrek Academy!

Watching the video of Qin Ming, whose temperament was refined yet carried the air of a chivalrous hero.

Faced with such an outstanding disciple, Flender's old face revealed a trace of comfort.

Although Qin Ming had not visited his alma mater for a very long time since graduating.

But for a teacher, having one such disciple in life was already an honor—what more could be asked?

"Dean, was Senior Qin Ming really a graduate of our academy?"

Looking at Qin Ming in the video, then glancing at the few people around him, Ma Hongjun, who had been scratching his crotch, wore a face full of doubt.

How could Shrek Academy produce someone like this?

The handsome ones had poor character, young and fond of frequenting brothels to listen to songs.

Instead, those with unremarkable looks were more honest in this regard.

But from the video data, although Qin Ming was handsome, he had not picked up any bad habits.

For Shrek Academy, this was no different from a cotton ball popping out of a sewer!

Ma Hongjun's suspicion was naturally understandable.

"Get lost!"

"The Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking has said it, and you're still doubting it here?!"

Staring at Qin Ming's Soul Power Level, Dai Mubai's eyes shifted, and he quickly asked.

"Dean, don't mind Fatty here. I think his evil fire is acting up again.

Dean, about that—where is our Senior Qin Ming now? What is he doing?"

It wasn't that Dai Mubai was being so sycophantic for no reason; the problem he faced was indeed quite tricky!

The absurd succession system of the Star Luo Empire had been crushing him, making it hard to breathe.

Aside from daily indulgence with twins, young married women, or mature beauties to let loose.

If he kept thinking about the royal battle, with Dai Mubai's temperament, he would have been scared to death long ago.

But!

The past was the past; now was now!

Ever since learning through the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking that he actually had a Titled Douluo-level senior, Dai Mubai instantly perked up.

Although the martial spirit of Star Luo Empire was strong, the number of Titled Douluo was not large.

If a Titled Douluo could put in a good word for him, or even directly stand up to guarantee him.

Using this method to directly obtain the throne?

That might still be somewhat pressured.

But in the royal battle, even if he failed, he could absolutely preserve his life!

The chance to survive was right before his eyes—how could Dai Mubai not be excited?

Flender stroked his chin.

"After graduating, Qin Ming first trained across the continent, becoming one of the continent's youngest Soul Emperors.

Then he seemed to go to Heaven Dou City, joining the Heaven Dou Royal Academy as one of its instructors.

As for how he became a Titled Douluo, I can't really say."

"Then Dean, can you still get in touch with Senior Qin Ming now?"

"Hahaha, of course! You have to understand, I taught him with my own hands!

Not to mention that Qin Ming is a man of deep loyalty and sentiment, just based on our past history, he absolutely has to give me some face.

From today onward, I, Flender, am someone who has taught a Titled Douluo!"

Thinking that even his good brother, the renowned master Yu Xiaogang, hadn't achieved such a feat, Flender's pride swelled even more.

As for Dai Mubai's words...

No matter how much water Flender's claims held, as long as he could bridge the connection, get in touch with Qin Ming, and persuade him to act, that was all that mattered.

With that thought, Dai Mubai sidled over inconspicuously and spoke in a low voice.

"Dean, well, I happened to find a money pouch while wandering around the village earlier. It seems to have about a thousand Gold Soul Coins inside.

Judging by the pouch's appearance, it looks like something you might have accidentally dropped."

I... dropped money...

With Shrek Academy's expenses being so high, and my pockets being cleaner than my face, do you really think I look like someone who has money to lose?

But the moment he heard "a thousand Gold Soul Coins," the eyes behind Flender's glasses instantly turned into the shape of Gold Soul Coins.

"Ah, right, right, right! That's it, that's it!

Mubai, returning lost money to your teacher—you're truly a good kid!"

However, as Qin Ming's early cultivation journey played out, while Flender, or rather the entire Shrek Academy, was basking in self-satisfaction, some who watched the video closely noticed a blind spot.

Was Qin Ming becoming a Titled Douluo really that connected to Shrek Academy?

Not only was it not connected, but this academy felt a bit like a scam!

[Martial soul mutation, publicly the second youngest genius soul master on the continent. Although his spirit ring configuration, like the previous Snake Lance Douluo, had a purple thousand-year fifth ring—a typical commoner setup—

given His Eminence's talent, being able to push through such a ring configuration and cultivate to this level at a young age is actually quite reasonable.

In terms of raw talent, he even surpasses His Eminence Snake Lance.

But...

Is it just me, or does this so-called Shrek Academy always give off a very scammy vibe?]

[No need to wonder—it is a scam!

I tried to enroll there back in the day, and after failing the test, they didn't even refund my registration fee!]

[Isn't it obvious? Just look at the standards they set.

Enrollment requirement: level 21 or above at age 13. Graduation requirement: level 40 or above.

Not to mention that such promising seedlings are fought over by every soul master academy out there.

Once enrolled, they'd be showered with subsidies—it's less about paying to study and more about earning money by studying!

And that promise of a noble title upon graduation? That's practically fraud!

Not only do they fail to specify the rank of the title, but even the lowest knight is technically a noble title under the law.

More crucially, according to the rules of both empires, any Soul Ancestor with soul power above level 40 is already entitled to a noble title.

If they're willing to serve the empire, the rank granted could even be higher!]

[Wait, so you're saying this so-called Shrek Academy didn't contribute anything substantial and just tricked a bunch of talented soul masters into joining?]
