"Really?"

Dai Mubai's eyes lit up, and he immediately leaned toward Chen Lang and asked:

"Lang Ge, could I become as freakishly strong as you?"

"Get lost! You're the freak. Your whole family is freaks..." Chen Lang glared at Dai Mubai irritably.

"Lang Ge, you really got that right. My family is full of freaks."

Whenever Dai Mubai thought of the damn rules his father had set, he could not help cursing under his breath.

Otherwise, he would not have run off to such a remote place.

But then again, if not for his father, he might never have met Lang Ge.

Perhaps it was all fate.

"..."

Chen Lang's mouth twitched. Looking at Dai Mubai, who now resembled the foolish eldest son of some rich landowner, he could not help remarking, "Look at that. Such an innocent little fire chicken, yet after spending a few years at Shrek Academy, he turned into a troublemaking scumbag."

"Lang Ge, what exactly do I need to do to become stronger?" Dai Mubai pressed on.

"Then I'll give you a lesson too."

Chen Lang looked at Dai Mubai. "What are your first two soul skills?"

"My first soul skill is White Tiger Body Protection Barrier. It uses the power of the White Tiger Martial Soul to form a golden energy barrier over my body, greatly increasing my defense. It can block physical attacks and some Soul Power impacts."

"So you took the wrong path from the very first step!"

Chen Lang cut Dai Mubai off. "What is the White Tiger? The White Tiger specializes in slaughter. It stands alongside the Phoenix as a top-tier Martial Soul, yet your first soul skill is actually a defensive skill. What a waste!"

"But everyone in my family does it this way." Dai Mubai was dumbfounded and muttered softly.

"Just because your family does it that way, you have to do it too?"

Chen Lang summoned his Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul and said, "The reason my Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul is known throughout the world as the number one offensive Martial Soul is not solely because the Martial Soul itself is powerful. It is because the Soul Rings we absorb contain offense alone, without defense!"

"The same goes for your White Tiger. The heavier its killing intent, the stronger the Martial Soul..."

As Chen Lang spoke, Dai Mubai's eyes grew brighter and brighter. Sword Douluo beside them also seemed to light up. It was as though someone had brushed the dust from his once-clouded heart, and his Sword Heart began to shine again, becoming clear and transparent.

I never expected a few words from my own grandson to loosen my bottleneck. He truly is my precious grandson. Chen Xin grew increasingly gratified.

He had not expected his grandson to understand Martial Souls so thoroughly. It seemed that during those three years of outward Slacking Off, he had actually secretly developed an addiction to studying and worked hard in private.

"Lang Ge, I've learned a great deal!"

After hearing him out, Dai Mubai's resolve became firmer than ever. The way he looked at Chen Lang was also filled with much more respect.

"We're all on the same side. No need to be so polite."

Chen Lang looked at Dai Mubai and said, "Just remember to pay the 1,000 Gold Soul Coin private tutoring fee."

"..."

Dai Mubai, who had just been somewhat moved, had his mouth twitch. "Lang Ge, how could I possibly have any money left?"

"It's fine. You're still young, so you'll definitely be able to earn money later. Or we can just deduct it from your salary." With a harmless smile on his face, Chen Lang looked at Ma Hongjun, who was gloating nearby. "You too. Remember to make up the private tutoring fee once you have money."

The smile on Ma Hongjun's face instantly froze.

"Lang Ge, Lang Ge, can I become stronger too? Or at least stop growing a beard?"

Although Oscar was reluctant to part with the 1,000 Gold Soul Coin private lesson, when he thought about becoming stronger or solving his beard problem, he still gritted his teeth and asked.

"Of course."

Chen Lang looked at Oscar and said, "Just shave more often."

Oscar: "???"

This kid might really make Shrek Academy famous throughout the entire Douluo Continent! Flender watched Chen Lang's back with a complicated expression.

"Lang Ge, can I really not become stronger?"

Oscar said dejectedly, "Don't worry, I'll definitely find a way to gather the private tutoring fee for you."

"Money isn't important. What matters is that you're all students of Shrek Academy."

The moment he heard that Oscar was willing to pay the private tutoring fee, Chen Lang changed his tone. "On the Douluo Continent, there is a type of Soul Beast that can give some food-type Support System Spirit Masters combat ability as well."

At Chen Lang's words, everyone perked up.

There was actually a Soul Beast that could give Support System Spirit Masters combat ability? What kind of Soul Beast was it?

"Really?"

Oscar's eyes lit up, and excitement immediately appeared on his face.

"Of course. In the Extreme North of the Douluo Continent and within the Frozen Forest, there is a Soul Beast called the Mirror Beast. Its scales are extremely peculiar, and every single scale is like a small mirror."

Chen Lang looked at Oscar. "If you can obtain a Mirror Beast Soul Ring, you might gain a soul skill that can copy the soul skills of other Spirit Masters!"

"However, you're far too weak right now, so don't even think about obtaining that soul skill yet."

"Once you perform well, this Dean will personally take you to the Extreme North."

Chen Lang had not forgotten about Snow Empress and Ice Empress in the Extreme North, nor the sleeping Ice Dream Celestial Silkworm. Those were million-year Soul Beasts.

"Thank you, Dean! From now on, I, Oscar, will be the Dean's most loyal lackey!" Oscar immediately puffed out his chest at those words and stared passionately at Chen Lang, his face practically spelling out the word "loyalty."

"It's good enough that you have that intention."

Chen Lang nodded in satisfaction.

Among the Shrek Seven Devils, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar had all become his underlings.

Now, only Zhu Zhuqing, who would come here to enroll three years later, remained.

As for Ning Rongrong, that would depend on her own choice. If she insisted on opposing him, then she would be courting death.

As for Xiao Wu, Chen Lang had no intention of taking her in at all.

After all, Tang San had already touched her, seen her, and even slept with her. He was no cuckold.

When the time came, he would just kill her.

After all, she was an immature Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Right afterward, Chen Lang began using his strongest soul skill, PUA, to brainwash all the other teachers of Shrek Academy. By dangling promises before them, he completely won over every last teacher.

"Now, only Zhao Wuji remains."

Flender also breathed a sigh of relief at the sight, but he knew Zhao Wuji would be the hardest to persuade.

After all, the man was famous for his explosive temper.

"Why is it so lively today?"

At that moment, a burly but not particularly tall middle-aged man walked in through the door with a smile on his face, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.

The newcomer was Zhao Wuji, who had returned from who knew where.

When Zhao Wuji appeared, everyone's expressions varied. Clearly, they all knew he had a fiery temper.

If he heard that Shrek Academy had made a child its Dean, he would probably be the first to quit.
