Return to Shrek Academy

Three days later, three figures slowly appeared at the gate of the Shrek Academy.

Liu Erlong stood in front of the crooked, dilapidated gate, looking up at the faded plaque on the door frame, his lips twitching.

She turned to look at Flender, her eyes filled with disbelief, and said:

"Boss Fu, is this the Shrek Academy you founded?"

Flender scratched his head, chuckled awkwardly, trying to cover his embarrassment with laughter, and replied:

"Haha... limited funds, limited funds."

Liu Erlong rolled her eyes, too lazy to look at him anymore.

She looked again at the dilapidated courtyard before her—low walls, uneven muddy ground, several crooked school buildings with peeling paint, and windows with several pieces of glass nailed together with planks.

The image of the Blue Tyrant Academy she founded in Heaven Dou City flashed through her mind—spacious school buildings, level training grounds, and tree-lined roads.

Comparing the two, she really couldn't see how this resembled an academy.

She turned to look at Yu Xiaogang, her tone carrying a hint of concern and persuasion as she spoke:

"Xiao Gang, why don't you come back to the Blue Tyrant Academy with me? You can become the dean, and I'll just give you the academy."

Yu Xiaogang did not agree, but simply shook his head and said calmly:

"Alright, Erlong, let's go inside and talk first."

After saying that, he walked towards the door first.

Liu Erlong opened her mouth, wanting to say something more, but seeing that Yu Xiaogang had already taken a step, she could only give up for the time being.

She always listened to and obeyed Yu Xiaogang's words.

Flender chimed in from the side:

"Yes, yes, let's go inside first and talk about it."

The three of them entered Shrek Academy together.

After the incident at the Beichen Academy, Shrek Academy's reputation on the Douluo Continent plummeted.

A conman actually became a teacher at the academy, and even harmed students to the point of almost shattering their Martial Soul, causing them to become paralyzed, and even nearly losing their lives—this incident became widely known after the incident.

Shrek Academy became famous as a result, though not for a good reason.

Therefore, at this moment, the entrance to the Shrek Academy was completely silent.

Even Li Yusong, who was in charge of registration, wasn't standing guard at the door.

Not long after the three went inside, Zhao Wuji and the other teachers sensed Flender's presence and rushed over together.

Zhao Wuji walked at the front, followed by Li Yusong, Shao Xin, Lu Qibin, and several others.

A complex look flashed in his eyes the moment he saw Flender.

But when his gaze fell on Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong behind Flender, that complex emotion was instantly replaced by anger and murderous intent.

The other teachers also looked grim.

Their feelings towards Flender were quite complex.

After all, he was their older brother for many years, someone they had worked with to support this dilapidated college, someone they had drunk and cursed with, and someone they had worried about for those few students.

But ever since Yu Xiaogang arrived, the series of foolish things Flender has done have gradually eroded the friendship between them.

Almost every teacher harbored a strong resentment towards Flender.

Shrek Academy was the result of their collective efforts, but because of Yu Xiaogang, it has now become infamous throughout the Douluo Continent.

If it weren't for the incident involving Lao Zhao and Mo Xuan, they probably would have been ordered to rectify the situation by now.

Zhao Wuji spoke first, his voice gruff:

"Flender, how dare you come back!"

Flender's expression changed slightly, and his lips moved, but he didn't say anything.

Zhao Wuji's gaze had already shifted to Yu Xiaogang, his disgust undisguised:

"You piece of trash! You still have the nerve to come back to Shrek? What? You've ruined your whole family, destroyed your clan, and now you have nowhere to go?"

Upon hearing this, Flender's expression became even more complicated, and he even lowered his head in shame.

Zhao Wuji hadn't finished speaking yet, and was about to continue—

What did you say?!

A flash of anger suddenly appeared in Liu Erlong's eyes. Before she could finish speaking, the Fire Dragon Martial Soul had already appeared behind her!

Two yellow, two purple, and three black—seven Spirit Ring spiraled up from beneath her!

She moved swiftly, about to rush towards Zhao Wuji!

Seeing this, Zhao Wuji's anger intensified.

He still remembered that crazy woman; she had wanted to kill Mo Xuan back then, all because of that good-for-nothing!

"I said he's trash, so what? You crazy woman, you want to fight me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Vajra Bear Martial Soul instantly possessed him!

The same seven Spirit Ring— two yellow, two purple, and three black—emerged from beneath him!

The two Soul Power collided in the air, and the atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense!

"Calm down! Calm down!"

Flender's expression changed drastically, and he rushed forward to stand between the two.

His voice was urgent and panicked, and he spread his arms wide, desperately standing between Zhao Wuji and Liu Erlong, trying to persuade them:

"Old Zhao! Erlong! Calm down! Everyone, calm down!"

Zhao Wuji stared at him, his anger undiminished.

Liu Erlong stared at him, her chest heaving violently.

Yu Xiaogang, however, stood aside, quietly watching this farce unfold before him.

His eyes were expressionless, and his face was blank.

After breaking through level 30 and having already unlocked the Godhood Inheritance, Soul Saint is a level he will inevitably reach sooner or later.

He is no longer the useless person who could never break through to the Soul Elder!

Flender was still trying to dissuade him, his voice filled with anxious urging:

"Let's talk this out! Let's go back to the academy, sit down, and have a proper chat..."

"What are you talking about!"

Zhao Wuji interrupted him abruptly, his voice exploding in the air like thunder:

"Flender, I'm telling you— Shrek Academy, from today onwards, no longer has you as its headmaster!"

Flender was suddenly stunned.

His eyes widened as he stared at Zhao Wuji in disbelief, his voice trembling:

"Old... Old Zhao, what do you mean by that?"

He subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the other teachers.

Li Yusong, Shao Xin, Lu Qibin all looked at him with complicated expressions, but they all nodded slightly in unison.

Flender's face turned deathly pale instantly.

In the end, it was Shao Xin who stepped forward.

He looked at Flender, his tone calm, yet tinged with an indescribable weariness, and said:

"Flender, ever since this Yu Xiaogang came, you have always been so biased towards him, even obeying his arrangements without considering the consequences, and covering up for him."

"To be honest, I don't know what kind of drug he gave you to make you so obsessed with and trusting of him."

He paused, then continued:

"But the brothers' hearts aren't made of iron."

"Think about it yourself, what has Shrek become since he came? Is this still the Shrek we built in the first place?"

He looked at Flender and said, word by word:

"To be honest, Flender, we're tired."

He took a deep breath, his voice lowering slightly:

"Since you've chosen Yu Xiaogang, then let's continue being the Golden Iron Triangle."

"Shrek... has nothing to do with you anymore."
