[Yur Tianheng: Honestly, I don't even mind being lied to, as long as you have something real to teach!
But just look at Shrek Academy.
To put it kindly, it's a Soul Master Academy. To put it bluntly, it's just some damn village.
Forget a Mimicry Cultivation Environment—even the food Lord Qin Ming ate as a child couldn't have been any good.
And then there's that bizarre motto.
What do you mean, "Those who don't dare cause trouble are worthless"?
So what, you have to bully the weak and fear the strong to prove you're powerful?
I don't know what kind of person could come up with such an outrageous motto that completely twists right and wrong, let alone treat it as an unquestionable truth!
Looking at all of Shrek, the only thing worth praising is probably its faculty.
A lineup of Soul Saints and Soul Emperors could hold its own even against those at a high-level Soul Master Academy.
But as I just said, if you can get that by going to a high-level Soul Master Academy, why choose your Shrek Academy?
Is it because you have cultivation resources? Or a Mimicry Cultivation Environment?]
At Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Thinking of the glaring fifth Spirit Ring his mentor had once possessed, Yu Tianheng couldn't help but feel indignant on his behalf.
To put it bluntly, with Qin Ming's talent, if Flender hadn't held him back, his future would have been limitless!
Unfortunately, because of the limitations of his Spirit Rings, reaching this point was practically the limit for Qin Ming.
The Golden Ranking Video continued.
There hadn't been many students in Shrek Academy's first class. Besides Qin Ming, there had actually been two others.
Unfortunately, thanks to its unscientific teaching methods, things hadn't ended well for them.
One had died while out Soul Hunting for a Spirit Ring. The other had died during routine training, while fighting in the Battle Soul Arena.
To put it simply, the death rate among the first class of students had reached a staggering 66.66%!
A few years later, Qin Ming was the only one left.
If Flender hadn't been a Soul Saint, making the parents afraid to confront him,
Shrek Academy would have been shut down long ago over such a terrible incident!
A few years later, the All-Continent Soul Master Competition began as scheduled.
In terms of strength, whether it was Soul Power Level or combat ability, Qin Ming believed he was inferior to no one.
Even against members of Spirit Hall, his exceptional talent still let him win more often than he lost.
The only problem was that Shrek Academy didn't have enough students and lacked the qualifications of a high-level Soul Master Academy.
Faced with such a grand occasion in the Soul Master World, Qin Ming had no chance to take part. He could only watch from behind a screen.
A few years later, Qin Ming graduated and set out to make his way in the world.
Unfortunately, as a commoner Soul Master, and with Shrek Academy's limited strength,
Qin Ming weighed the pros and cons before entering the Star Dou Great Forest. To keep his teacher out of danger, he ultimately chose a thousand-year Spirit Beast.
A thousand-year fifth Spirit Ring was already quite good for an ordinary Soul Master.
But compared with Qin Ming's talent, it fell far, far short.
Later, Qin Ming joined Heaven Dou Royal Academy, intending to follow in his teacher's footsteps and pursue a career in education.
Although Qin Ming came from a commoner background, his strength had allowed him to rise through the ranks. He had also caught the attention of Meng Shenji, one of the three senior instructors, who entrusted him with important responsibilities.
From then on, with Heaven Dou Royal Academy's support, Qin Ming's subsequent Spirit Rings became more suited to his abilities.
At his current rate, if all went well, Qin Ming would probably become a Soul Douluo by the age of fifty.
By sixty, thanks to his exceptional talent, he might even take a shot at breaking through the bottleneck to Title Douluo!
Across the entire continent, that kind of progress might not be unprecedented or unmatched, but it was certainly above average!
However, because of the limitations of his Spirit Rings, Qin Ming might never break through level 95 in his lifetime!
Fortunately!
Just as Qin Ming was feeling lost about what lay ahead,
a twist of fate brought him back to his hometown to visit his family, where he met his distant relative, Qin Yun.
From then on, Qin Ming embarked on an entirely different path!
Spirit Rings, Soul Bones, Self-Created Soul Skills, even a Flame Domain, as well as pills that could raise Soul Power Level.
With Qin Yun's lavish support, in just a few short years, Qin Ming's level soared from that of a Soul Emperor.
Today, he had reached level 94, at the peak of his power and only half a step from level 95!
What's more, thanks to Qin Yun's efforts, Qin Ming, who had once been merely an instructor, had now taken Prince Xue Xing's place as the dean of Heaven Dou Royal Academy!
Having heard that Qin Yun had founded the Qingyun Sect, Qin Ming had to lend him a hand—both because they were relatives and because he owed him a debt of gratitude!
[The review of the Strongest Dragon-Tiger Ranking's 27th place is complete. Reward: Soul Power +1, Spirit Ring age increased by 1,300 years!]
A golden streak of light descended from the heavens, landing in the opulent Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Then, amid the envious gazes of Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhi Lin, it sank into the mind of Qin Ming, who was seated in the chair of honor.
Feeling the bottleneck that had seemed like an impenetrable wall shatter at a touch, and his Soul Power rise to level 95, Qin Ming couldn't help but smile.
"With the cultivation method the sect master gave me, I thought I'd have to rely on steady effort and train for another year or two to break through this bottleneck.
"I never expected the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking to save me all that trouble!"
"And besides..."
Like She Long, Qin Ming watched as his fifth Spirit Ring changed from purple to black, and finally felt the heavy stone in his heart fall away.
At long last, his obsession had been laid to rest!
"Congratulations to the dean! To reach the Super Douluo realm at such a young age is an incredible achievement!
"Even Tang Hao, once hailed as one of the Clear Sky Twin Stars, couldn't have done that!" Meng Shenji exclaimed.
It was no wonder he was fawning so hard. Besides Qin Ming, a Super Douluo, there was also a Blue Robe Your Excellency backing him.
That person's stature might well rival Qian Daoliu's.
With backing like that, how could Meng Shenji and the other two afford not to tread carefully?
In fact, it wasn't just them. From now on, even Xue Ye, the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, would have to treat the man before them with care.
"Our sect master once said that cultivation is like rowing upstream: if you don't forge ahead, you fall behind. I still have a long way to go!
"But back to the point. I plan to introduce monthly exams to weed out the useless noble students and bring in more talented students to Heaven Dou Academy.
"That way, once we have healthy competition, the quality of our students will improve significantly. What do the three of you think?"
"Dean, forgive me for asking, but by 'more talented students,' do you mean commoner students?" Zhi Lin asked cautiously, cupping his fists.
But when he saw Qin Ming merely looking at him with amusement, without any intention of explaining, Zhi Lin realized he'd been an idiot.
"That's settled, then!"
Come on, ever since he had become the dean of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, the place had been Qingyun Sect's private domain.
Hadn't he already started phasing out the word "Royal" from its name?
Under the circumstances, when he asked for their opinions, he was only being polite.
They didn't actually think they could make suggestions, did they?
