Misleading Disciples Shrek

Bibi Han frowned slightly at the cafeteria food. It was not a matter of taste, but the fact that it had practically no nutrition at all. The body was the foundation of everything, and nutrition was the foundation of the body. How could food like this support cultivation?

Taking a plain steamed bun and intending to savor it, Bibi Han headed outside.

Ning Rongrong asked, "Gu Xuehan, aren't you eating breakfast?"

"This breakfast has no nutrition. I'm planning to eat outside."

"Eat outside? But then you'll be late."

"So what? The body is the foundation of everything. Only with proper nutrition can training be effective and cultivation progress faster."

"That makes sense. Then I'll go with you." Ning Rongrong stood up and headed out as well.

The cafeteria food had never suited Ning Rongrong's tastes to begin with. Coupled with Ma Hongjun's ghostly howls, she had even less of an appetite.

"Brother, how about we go too?"

"Xiao Wu, wouldn't that be a little inappropriate?" Although he said that, Tang San was tempted. The words "cultivation progress faster" had caught his attention.

"What's inappropriate about it? If the cafeteria food were good, would we need to go out? This is the school's problem."

"Then... let's go too."

Thus, Bibi Han, Ning Rongrong, Tang San, and Xiao Wu skipped class together.

The streets of Suotuo City were exceptionally lively at the moment.

"Extra! Extra! Spirit Hall has once again wiped out an Evil Soul Master stronghold in the Star Luo Empire, killing fifty-three Evil Soul Masters and capturing ten, including one Soul Douluo!"

"Little Friends, give me a newspaper."

"Ten Copper Soul Coins per copy. Here you go."

Bibi Han held the newspaper and read it. There were several colored pictures on it. One showed Ju Gui Douluo joining forces to kill an Evil Soul Master surrounded by eight Soul Rings.

Bibi Han's gaze moved downward, and he noticed another picture. It showed a silver-haired girl wielding a silver spear, piercing through an Evil Soul Master's body.

Na'er actually went too.

"Amazing. Spirit Hall truly deserves to be called the savior of us Common People," one Common Person said.

Someone else echoed, "Exactly, exactly. If Spirit Hall hadn't wiped out those Evil Soul Masters, the first people those Evil Soul Masters would harm would be us Common People."

It seemed that the dangers of Evil Soul Masters had already sunk deep into the hearts of the common people. Spirit Hall's public support had risen another level.

Tang San looked at Bibi Han, who was reading the newspaper with great interest, and asked, "Are Evil Soul Masters really that frightening?"

"Tang San, don't you understand Evil Soul Masters?"

"I only know that Evil Soul Masters are Soul Masters who use improper means to obtain power."

After pondering for a moment, Bibi Han said, "Tang San, let me explain it to you. Any Soul Master who cultivates by devouring Soul Power, Soul Rings, spiritual power, flesh and blood, souls, martial souls, and so on is classified as an Evil Soul Master.

"Evil Soul Masters rely on improper methods to cultivate. If they cultivated through meditation, they would grow very slowly. Therefore, the growth of Evil Soul Masters is built upon the tragic deaths of living beings, which is why everyone hates them so deeply."

"There are many forces on the continent that claim to exterminate Evil Soul Masters, but aside from Spirit Hall, the others are basically just putting on a show. Only Spirit Hall kills every one they encounter."

"That's not true. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has exterminated Evil Soul Masters too, alright?" Ning Rongrong protested.

"Then, Ning Rongrong, isn't it true that Evil Soul Masters either have to appear right under the noses of your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, or Spirit Hall has to send you a notice before you take action?"

"Uh... uh..."

"Can't answer, can you?"

"Evil Soul Masters are obviously so sinful. Why is it usually only Spirit Hall that takes action?" Tang San asked doubtfully.

"That is because those sects were established by their own families. Which family do you think would voluntarily do something like exterminating Evil Soul Masters, something that weakens their own strength yet brings them no benefit? Only Spirit Hall would. Even if they suffered devastating losses, they would never give up until Evil Soul Masters had been completely eradicated from the continent. And that is why Spirit Hall is the holy land of the Soul Master World."

"Gu Xuehan, you praise Spirit Hall so much. Don't tell me you came from Spirit Hall?" Ning Rongrong asked.

"What do you mean, praise? I'm merely stating the facts, alright? Is anything I said wrong?"

Well, Ning Rongrong was unable to answer again.

After eating and drinking their fill, the group returned to Shrek Academy.

In Shrek Academy's plaza, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Zhu Zhuqing stood obediently at attention. Oscar was there as well. After shaving off his beard, Oscar really was handsome.

A man stood before them. He looked to be around fifty years old, with a sturdy build and highly distinctive features. His chin protruded slightly, his cheekbones were broad, his face was flat, and he had a somewhat hooked nose. If one had to compare his face to something, it could only be said that it resembled the sole of a shoe, with a hint of craftiness in his expression. He wore black-framed crystal glasses with stiff, square frames and was currently glaring at us angrily.

With that appearance, this should be Flender. It had to be said that just from his looks alone, he seemed like a profiteering businessman.

After we joined the line, Flender spoke. "You lot are late on the first day of school, and especially you—you actually encouraged them to skip class with you!"

Flender's finger pointed directly at Bibi Han, his face filled with rage.

There was no need to think about it. This had to be the work of a certain blond, lecherous tiger whose lips were curled in a smirk.

Flender continued, "At your current age, this is the best time for you Soul Masters to cultivate, yet you delayed their cultivation. Ruining someone's path is an unforgivable enmity. Do you know how grave a mistake you have made?"

Bibi Han merely smiled disdainfully. "Heh, how grave a mistake? Why don't I think so? On the contrary, Teacher, don't you know perfectly well why we were late? If the cafeteria breakfast had even a little more nutrition, would I have gone outside to eat? The body is the foundation of everything, and nutrition is the foundation of the body. If anyone has ruined another's path and become an unforgivable enemy, it's probably the academy's Dean."

"What did you say?!" Flender flew into a rage.

"What? Did I say anything wrong?"

"Utterly! Completely! Wrong!"

"I'm telling you, the senior students from the previous class, the class before that, and the class before that all ate the same food. None of them had any complaints."

Flender suddenly turned around, standing with his back to us and his hands clasped behind him. In a lofty tone, he said, "As for ruining people's futures, that's even more absurd. Let me tell you something else. Shrek Academy has admitted a total of sixty-two students so far, but only fourteen have truly graduated. Every one of those fourteen became a figure who drew the world's attention after leaving the academy. The most outstanding of them is now Spirit Hall's youngest elder, with authority second only to the Pope."

Hearing that, the inexperienced Tang San and Xiao Wu immediately cried out and looked at Bibi Han, wondering if he had been wrong.

Clap~ clap~ clap~ Bibi Han gave a brief round of applause.

"Amazing, amazing. Truly amazing," Bibi Han said in a somewhat strange tone.

Flender seemed not to hear him and remained immersed in his own world. Turning back, he addressed us with the air of a strict teacher. "Of course. So long as you obey the academy rules, I believe your names will surely resound across the continent in the future."

As soon as Flender finished speaking, Bibi Han added, "I never expected Shrek's Dean to be so formidable. Shrek has been founded for barely twenty years, and the oldest among its graduates can't be more than thirty-two. Yet someone actually became a Title Douluo. Compared to this Title Douluo under thirty-two, Clear Sky Douluo, formerly the continent's youngest Title Douluo, really amounts to nothing. Dean, you truly have my admiration."

At those words, Ning Rongrong could no longer hold back her laughter. Aside from Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and the others who did not understand what was going on, the rest were laughing as well, though not as openly.

Flender's old face went from smug to livid.

Tang San and Xiao Wu asked Ning Rongrong, "Rongrong, what are you laughing about?"

Ning Rongrong laughed until tears came out, but she still replied, "Tang San, Xiao Wu, I'm laughing because I just heard a huge joke."

"A huge joke?"

"That's right. That claim just now about Shrek producing a Spirit Hall elder. Do you know what level of cultivation is required to become a Spirit Hall elder?"

The two shook their heads.

"To become a Spirit Hall elder, one must possess the cultivation of a Title Douluo. To become Spirit Hall's second-in-command, one must be an exceptionally powerful Title Douluo. Even the youngest Title Douluo on the continent today only became one at the age of forty-four. Yet Shrek supposedly produced a powerful Title Douluo under the age of thirty-two. Tell me, shouldn't I laugh?"

After saying that, Ning Rongrong started laughing again. Xiao Wu burst out laughing too, while Tang San reacted somewhat better.

Hearing this, Flender's face went from livid to black, no different from the bottom of a pot. How did I forget? Some of them come from great families. I can't fool them with this kind of thing at all.

Bibi Han spoke again. "Besides, you recruited sixty-two students with at least rank-seven Innate Soul Power, yet only fourteen graduated. What an impressive graduation rate."

Zhu Zhuqing found that difficult to accept, because her Innate Soul Power was rank seven. She had come here to grow stronger, yet the students Shrek trained turned out like this.

At that, Flender could no longer save face, yet he had no way to refute it. One of the once-renowned Golden Iron Triangle of the Soul Master World had actually been left speechless by a child.

After saying all that, Bibi Han felt a trace of coldness in his heart, pitying those talented students. However, he had no intention of standing up for them. They had attended Junior Soul Master Academy and learned the necessary knowledge, yet they had still been tricked into entering Shrek, this academy with nothing to offer. They had not come to their senses midway through either, wasting their talent here. In the end, they could only blame themselves for lacking brains.
