Shrek Yu Xiaogang? A bunch of hypocrites!

As the red sun in mid-air climbed to its zenith, the entire Douluo Continent began to grow sweltering.

Today was an unremarkable day, yet for the children in Soul Village, it was the momentous day of their spirit awakening.

But unlike most villages, it was not someone from Martial Soul Hall who performed the awakening for them, but people from Shrek Academy.

This was primarily because their village was located in such a remote area that most people didn't even know it existed. Furthermore, the village was tiny and the population sparse, so Martial Soul Hall was unaware of its existence and had never established a branch in the vicinity.

This meant that for many years, the children in this village never had the time to awaken their spirits. After all, for villagers in such underdeveloped conditions, awakening a spirit required traveling to a large city, but they were simply too far away. Coupled with the large number of children and the heavy farm work, the villagers could never get away, so by the time they finally had the chance, it was long past the optimal age.

However, waiting so long to awaken a spirit meant perfectly missing the best window for cultivation, and most children failed to awaken any soul power, forcing them to return to the village to continue their cycle of labor and life.

Fortunately, a few years ago, the principal of Shrek Academy, Flender, passed through the area and learned of their situation, so he set a schedule with them. Every year since, once the date arrived, he would come to help the village children awaken their spirits.

The villagers and children were naturally deeply grateful to Shrek Academy.

Although they later learned through inquiries that this period coincided with Shrek Academy's vacation, and that they helped more than just their village, it didn't matter to them at all. As long as they could awaken their spirits, nothing else mattered.

Today, the villagers brought the children to the village entrance early in the morning to await the arrival of the Shrek Academy group, each heart filled with anticipation and immense gratitude toward everyone from the academy.

Liu Yuan, a transmigrator, was also in this group. This was his sixth year since arriving in the Douluo Continent, and today was the day he could finally awaken his spirit.

However.

For Liu Yuan, as a transmigrator, he possessed complete knowledge of all the stories and history of the Douluo Continent. Thus, he knew exactly what kind of monsters and freaks these people from Shrek Academy were, and naturally, he didn't harbor a shred of goodwill toward them.

In his view, the entire upper echelon of Shrek Academy consisted essentially of opportunistic scoundrels.

Their discrimination based on talent had reached a whole new level.

They claimed the school motto of Shrek Academy was to only cultivate monsters.

Liu Yuan really wanted to ask them: if they were already monsters, did they even need your cultivation?

Give him a group of geniuses with Innate Full Soul Power or innate level eight or nine talent, and wouldn't they become successful under any random teacher?

The most important thing was that the academy itself wasn't even that great.

If Shrek Academy had top-tier teachers, a great school environment, and excellent teaching conditions, that would be one thing.

But the problem was that it didn't have a single one of those things.

The strongest two in Shrek Academy were Zhao Wuji and Flender, yet at this stage, they were both merely seven-ring Soul Saints.

Compared to teachers from top-tier academies like Martial Soul Hall Academy or Heaven Dou Royal Academy, they were absolutely nothing.

The school environment and teaching conditions were even less worth mentioning.

The school was rented!

To have students cultivate, they were sent directly to the Great Soul Arena to learn on their own; what was the point of the school then? Why not just join the Great Soul Arena directly?

Therefore, Liu Yuan truly had no favorable impression of this group.

And what made him even more displeased didn't stop there.

Not to mention the true villains Tang San and Yu Xiaogang; knowing how disgusting they were, Liu Yuan wished he could skin them alive.

Flender's famous quote was even more classic: "Those who don't cause trouble are mediocre!"

Liu Yuan had nearly vomited blood when he first heard that line.

It was the first time he felt someone could justify bullying the weak and throwing their weight around so righteously.

Wasn't that exactly what happened with Blue Sunshine Academy before?

The other party hadn't provoked them, but because of their own loose mouths, they ended up giving the others a brutal beating.

Was this what they called: those who don't cause trouble are mediocre?

Liu Yuan wasn't a saint, but he still found such behavior deeply distasteful.

Therefore, he would never have even a shred of goodwill toward anyone from Shrek Academy. As for joining Shrek Academy, that was a fantasy; if the motto of Shrek Academy was "those who don't cause trouble are mediocre," then Liu Yuan believed it was better not to be a genius at all.

Moreover, they weren't helping the village out of the kindness of their hearts.

The reason they helped so many villages was nothing more than wanting to try their luck to see if there were any gifted geniuses, so they could claim them in advance.

After all, there weren't many fools on the Douluo Continent, and true geniuses wouldn't look twice at the cultivation environment of Shrek Academy. If they could find some geniuses through this method, it would be another opportunity for the academy.

Thinking of this, dissatisfaction appeared on his face.

He hadn't wanted to come to let the Shrek people awaken his spirit today.

But he couldn't resist the village chief's persistent pleading. Having been orphaned since birth, he had received the village chief's kindness since arriving here, and since the chief had already spoken to that extent, Liu Yuan felt he still had to give the old man this bit of face.

"Master Flender, you've arrived!"

Just then, Flender of Shrek Academy had arrived.

Seeing Flender, the village chief and several villagers greeted him respectfully, then looked at the other man and the group of youths behind him; these were all new faces.

"And who are these?"

Hearing this, Flender smiled and introduced them.

"This is my good friend, Yu Xiaogang."

"You might not recognize the name, but he is the number one master of theory on the Douluo Continent."

"As long as it concerns theoretical knowledge, there is nothing he doesn't understand. In this regard, even the Upper Three Sects, Martial Soul Hall, and the two great empires cannot compare to him. Today, he has come, and you are truly blessed!"

"As for these, they are our students. Anyone who joins our academy to receive guidance can become a talent. Look, they are only in their teens, but under our guidance, those with weaker soul power are already at level twenty, and those with stronger soul power are already at level thirty. This is something only teachers from Shrek Academy can achieve; elsewhere, who would have such ability?"
