Yu Xiaogang, your theory is wrong!

"Dai Mubai, fifteen years old, beast spirit White Tiger, level thirty-seven soul power."

Grandmaster read the information on the list aloud.

"Oscar, fourteen years old, food spirit Sausage, level thirty-two soul power."

The more he read, the more shocked he felt; why was the talent of the students in Shrek Academy so formidable!

"Xiao Wu, twelve years old, beast spirit Soft Bone Rabbit, level thirty-one soul power."

"Ye Lin, twelve years old, tool spirit Sword, level thirty soul power."

"Tang San, twelve years old, tool spirit Blue Silver Grass, level twenty-six soul power."

The list showed that not a single one was weaker than Tang San, and his face darkened into a grim silence, as if someone had died.

Finally, a smug smile appeared on Grandmaster's face.

"Zhu Zhuqing, twelve years old, beast spirit Spirit Cat, level twenty-seven soul power."

"This Zhu Zhuqing is clearly inferior to Tang San."

"At the same age, Tang San could cultivate to level twenty-six with a trash spirit, while Zhu Zhuqing only reached level twenty-seven with a beast spirit."

Flender rolled his eyes helplessly.

"Tang San has Innate Full Soul Power!"

"Zhu Zhuqing only has innate level seven, why don't you mention that? If they were on the same starting line, she would already be at level thirty."

Instantly, Grandmaster fell silent, and he looked at the last one; this was his final hope.

"Ning Rongrong, twelve years old, tool spirit Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, level twenty-six soul power."

"Then what about this Ning Rongrong?"

"She has innate level nine soul power, can she compare to Tang San? Even on the same starting line, she's only one level higher than Tang San."

Flender sighed, "Is it really that hard to admit that Tang San's talent is lacking?"

"You haven't said a single word about Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda."

Grandmaster immediately felt awkward.

"That must be because I've been a bit negligent in Tang San's training lately; otherwise, he absolutely wouldn't be at the bottom."

He would rather die than admit it.

Flender glanced at the stubborn Grandmaster and silently took the list back.

"Right, right, right, it's your negligence."

He couldn't be bothered to bicker with Grandmaster; they were friends who had adventured together in the past, and although they hadn't been in touch for a long time, the history was still there.

It was a way of saving face for Grandmaster.

He changed the subject, "By the way, what did you come here for this time?"

Grandmaster smiled slightly, "I want to be a teacher at Shrek Academy."

He had already anticipated that Flender would happily welcome him, as Flender had always highly valued his theories in the past.

For a master of theory like himself to come and teach, it would be a complete dimensional strike.

But there was no joy on Flender's face; he was stunned by these words, his body even stiffening slightly.

"Xiaogang, what did you say?"

"You want to come here to be a teacher?"

Grandmaster was also a bit puzzled, "Is that not allowed?"

Flender's face was somewhat rigid, "It is allowed, but you need to go through the procedure."

A bit of temper flared up in Grandmaster's heart; after so many years of friendship, you can't even handle such a small favor?

"As the dean, can't you just let me be a teacher here directly?"

Flender shook his head gently, "I have to be responsible for the students in the academy."

"Besides, if I were to pull strings for you, how would the other teachers at Shrek Academy view it?"

"It's better if you don't make things difficult for me; just go through the procedure."

"The matter of recruiting teachers is handled by Vice Dean Zhao; just pass his assessment."

He pointed his hand toward Zhao Wuji nearby.

"Fine, then I will go through the formal procedure!"

Grandmaster repeated, his heart filled with a trace of anger; could it be that he, the dignified Grandmaster, couldn't even become a teacher at Shrek Academy?

This was simply a lack of trust in him!

"Teacher Zhao," Grandmaster said indifferently, "I would like to apply to be a teacher at Shrek Academy."

"What is the first assessment?"

Zhao Wuji smiled slightly at Grandmaster, "I presume the first assessment will be very easy for Grandmaster to pass."

"The first requirement is also the simplest one."

"You only need to possess six Spirit Rings."

Upon hearing about the six Spirit Rings, Yu Xiaogang froze instantly. He stared blankly at Zhao Wuji, unable to believe his own ears.

"What kind of academy requires its teachers to have the cultivation of a Spirit Emperor!"

"Shrek Academy."

Yu Xiaogang glared at Flender. "You did this on purpose, didn't you?"

"You know full well that my spirit power cannot break through level 29, yet you still make me take this assessment?"

"And you even called it the simplest requirement!"

Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Zhao Wuji was also taken aback. He hadn't expected that the Dean's friend from many years ago would be nothing more than a Soul Grand Master unable to break past level 29.

"You aren't going to tell me that all the teachers at Shrek Academy are at the Spirit Emperor level or higher, are you?"

Zhao Wuji's voice rang out, "Yes."

Yu Xiaogang fell silent. He had originally thought he could easily enter Shrek Academy, but now it seemed incredibly difficult.

Shrek Academy possessed so many students with outstanding talent; if he couldn't teach them his excellent martial soul theories, wouldn't that be like hiding a pearl in the dust?

Furthermore, he needed to instruct Tang San; this was his chance to prove himself.

Yu Xiaogang tried a different approach.

"Surely my reputation as Grandmaster is enough to allow me to teach at Shrek Academy?"

"You know that what a teacher needs is theory, not raw strength."

"My invincible theories are enough to qualify me as a teacher at any academy."

Flender sighed.

"Yes, yours are invincible theories, but don't you think your theories are just talk on paper?"

"They have never been put into any real practice."

Yu Xiaogang retorted sharply, "Then let me become a teacher at Shrek Academy,"

"And I can put them into practice on these students immediately!"

Flender stood up in a flash, staring intensely at Yu Xiaogang. "Are you trying to turn these excellent students into test subjects for your theories?"

"It's not an experiment!" Yu Xiaogang did not back down in the slightest. "My theories have already been proven correct!"

"Tang San is my best proof."

Flender countered once more, "Tang San is the best proof, but don't you think that actually proves your theory is flawed?"

"Ye Lin, Xiao Wu, and Tang San—all three of them have Innate Full Soul Power."

"Why have Ye Lin and Xiao Wu both reached level 30 through their own cultivation, while Tang San, who possesses your 'invincible' theories, has only reached level 26?"

"Tang San should have had the same strength as them, but it is precisely because of your theories that he has only cultivated to level 26!"

"Stop clinging to your theories!"

Flender said every word clearly, "Your theories are wrong!"
