The Whimper of a Stray Dog, the Submission of the Tyrannosaurus Lioness!

Outside Heaven Dou City, at the foot of the mountain where Heaven Dou Royal Academy is located.

A group of disheveled, dust-covered people stood before the magnificent mountain gate. It was none other than the members of Shrek Academy, who had "fled" all the way from Soto City.

After a half-month-long trek, compounded by staying in cheap inns and eating dry rations to save money, the once high-spirited "Monster Academy" now looked like a band of vagrants.

Flender looked up at the ten-meter-high white marble archway and the white marble stairs leading toward the clouds, his eyes filled with envy and shock.

"So this is Heaven Dou Royal Academy... they really are wealthy," Flender said sourly.

"Hmph, all glitter on the outside, rotten on the inside."

Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back; though his complexion was sallow, he still tried to maintain an air of aloofness. "These aristocratic academies only know how to compare and indulge; they don't understand what true cultivation is at all. If it weren't for the need to borrow their Mimicry Cultivation Environment, I wouldn't bother bringing Tang San here."

"Teacher is right."

Tang San, following behind, had a pale face (his injuries had not yet fully healed) and a hint of gloom in his eyes. "Once we defeat them at the Continental Elite Tournament, they will realize that resources only pile up trash, and true genius cannot be obscured."

At this moment, because he had lost his Eight Spider Lances (broken and not yet regrown) and his immortal herbs (dug out without his knowledge), Tang San had become extremely sensitive and extreme.

"Let's go."

Flender straightened his slightly moldy robe. "Qin Ming is already waiting for us up there. As long as we meet the three education committee members, with the strength of Wuji and myself, plus the reputation of Xiaogang's theories, staying won't be a problem."

The group prepared to step onto the stairs.

Suddenly.

"Stop."

A cold, mocking voice drifted down from above.

"This is the restricted area of Heaven Dou Royal Academy. No unkempt persons or dogs allowed."

The Shrek group looked up abruptly.

On the platform above the stairs, a group of people had appeared at some point.

The leading youth, dressed in luxurious ink-colored, gold-patterned athletic wear and a black cloak, his hands in his pockets, looked down at them with the gaze one might reserve for trash.

It was Yu Tianyu.

Standing to his left and right behind him were the thoroughly transformed Ning Rongrong and Zhu Qing.

Ning Rongrong wore the goose-yellow short skirt of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy uniform, her fair, beautiful legs exposed, her temperament as noble as a princess.

Zhu Qing wore a modified black tight-fitting uniform that accentuated her devilish figure, her expression cold and aloof.

Seeing these two former "teammates" standing opposite them, looking so radiant and polished, the boys from Shrek instantly broke down.

"Rongrong! Zhu Qing!"

Oscar waved excitedly. "Why are you there? Come down quickly! We're going to rebuild Shrek together!"

Seeing Zhu Qing's even more enchanting figure, Dai Mubai's eyes nearly popped out of his head, while a surge of intense jealousy welled up in his heart. "Zhu Qing! How much longer are you going to mess around? Get over here! I am your fiancé!"

However, in response to their calls.

Ning Rongrong merely frowned and covered her nose and mouth, seemingly disgusted by the smell on them.

Zhu Qing didn't even glance at Dai Mubai, standing quietly behind Yu Tianyu like a dutiful maid.

"Did you not hear what I said?"

Yu Tianyu looked down from above, walking down the stairs step by step, his dragon aura growing stronger with every stride.

"This is a royal academy, not a shelter."

"Take your trash and get lost."

"Yu Tianyu! Don't be too arrogant!"

Dai Mubai roared, his Evil-Eyed White Tiger spirit possessing him. "Don't think I'm afraid of you just because this is your turf! Dean Flender and Grandmaster are here for an exchange!"

"An exchange?"

Yu Tianyu stopped five meters away from them and gave a contemptuous smile.

"On what grounds?"

"Because of you, a weakling who only knows how to chase women?"

"Because of that food-type spirit master who can't even grill a decent sausage?"

"Or perhaps..."

Yu Tianyu's gaze finally landed on Grandmaster, his eyes turning cold and piercing.

"Because of this trash who is only level 29, and aside from plagiarizing theories and misleading his students, is completely useless?"

"You... what did you say?!"

Grandmaster trembled with rage, pointing at Yu Tianyu. "You arrogant brat! My 'Ten Core Competencies' are the treasures of the spirit master world! Even the Pope of Spirit Hall treats me with courtesy!"

"Treasures? I think they're scrap paper."

Yu Tianyu sneered, tearing away Grandmaster's final fig leaf.

"You say there are no useless spirits, only useless spirit masters. Then you have cultivated for decades, so why are you still a Great Spirit Master? Could it be that you are the useless spirit master yourself?"

"You say that the Blue Silver Grass is best suited for the control system. That is only because you have no idea that the Blue Silver Emperor exists! You are raising a dragon as if it were a worm!"

"You let Tang San absorb a Spirit Ring from a Human-Faced Demon Spider, a creature of ultimate evil, causing his foundation to be damaged and his body to be plagued by baleful energy. Is this the result of your teaching?"

Every word was like a heavy hammer, smashing fiercely into the heart of Grandmaster.

"Shut up! I won't allow you to insult my teacher!"

Tang San's eyes were blood-red, and he circulated his Mysterious Heaven Skill, wanting to rush forward and fight to the death.

"Get lost!"

Yu Tianyu gave only a single look.

Dragon King's Might!

Boom!

An invisible, terrifying wave of energy erupted instantly.

"Pfft!"

Tang San, already suffering from unhealed wounds, was sent flying by this pressure, spitting out a mouthful of blood before crashing heavily at the feet of Flender.

"San!" Grandmaster let out a miserable cry.

"What? Want to make a move?"

Yu Tianyu snapped his fingers.

"Hiss—"

A scalp-tingling snake hiss rang out.

Green poisonous mist instantly sealed off the entire mountain gate.

The figure of Poison Douluo Dugu Bo appeared beside Yu Tianyu like a ghost. Nine Spirit Rings pulsed at his feet, and the pressure of a Title Douluo poured down without reservation.

"Who dares to run wild at Heaven Dou Royal Academy?!"

Dugu Bo shouted sharply.

Flender and Zhao Wuji, both Spirit Saints, felt their knees go weak under this pressure, nearly collapsing to the ground.

"Poi... Poison Douluo..." Flender's face turned deathly pale, sweat pouring down like rain.

He knew it was over.

With this old poison master holding the fort, let alone entering the academy, whether they could leave alive today was a question.

"Get out."

Yu Tianyu waved his hand as if shooing away flies.

"Heaven Dou Royal Academy does not accept trash."

"Go back to where you came from. The pigsties in Soto City are more suitable for you."

In front of the public, amidst the mocking laughter of countless watching students.

Flender gritted his teeth, but dared not retaliate. He could only help the blood-spitting Tang San to his feet, pull the soul-broken Grandmaster along, and lead his group of stray dogs to flee the scene in disgrace.

After being driven out of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

The Shrek group wandered the streets of Heaven Dou City like walking corpses.

"Dean, where... where are we going?" Ma Hongjun clutched his stomach, his face full of misery.

Flender looked at the bustling streets, his heart filled with desolation. Was Shrek really going to disband just like this?

Just then.

He saw a recruitment notice on a bulletin board by the side of the road.

[Lanba Advanced Spirit Master Academy is hiring teachers. Requirements: Only accepts commoners, no nobles. Dean: Liu Erlong.]

Boom!

Seeing the name "Liu Erlong," Grandmaster, who had been in despair, suddenly shuddered, a light erupting in his eyes that had not been seen in a long time.

"Erlong... it's Erlong!"

Grandmaster grabbed Flender's hand in excitement, "Flender! It's her! She opened an academy here!"

Flender was also stunned, then overjoyed: "Sister Erlong? That's great! Heaven never closes all doors!"

"Let's go! We're going to Lanba Academy!"

Grandmaster felt as if he had grabbed the last straw, "As long as we find Erlong, we still have hope! Her academy is my academy! When the time comes, I will make that little beast Yu Tianyu regret this!"

He thought of the woman who loved him deeply and obeyed his every word. As long as she was there, he would have a stage of his own, and he could even use the resources of Lanba Academy to cultivate Tang San for revenge.

However.

What he did not know was.

At the top of the clock tower in Heaven Dou City.

Yu Tianyu stood there, watching their figures sprinting toward Lanba Academy, a cruel smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

"Want to go find your old flame to seek shelter?"

"What a pity, Grandmaster, I've rewritten your script."

"This female tyrannosaurus, Liu Erlong, is also my prey."

Lanba Academy is located deep within a forest inside Heaven Dou City, its environment quiet and secluded.

Relying on their formidable spirit power levels, the Shrek group cleared every obstacle in their path, charging straight to the forbidden area at the back of the academy.

There stood an exquisite little wooden cabin, surrounded by fields of blooming flowers.

A beautiful woman dressed in a simple cyan cloth dress that could not hide her fiery figure was there, watering the flowers. Although she appeared to be over thirty, she remained charming, her brows carrying a sense of heroism and wildness.

It was none other than Liu Erlong.

"Erlong!"

Flender shouted excitedly.

Liu Erlong's body stiffened, and the watering can in her hand dropped to the ground. She turned around abruptly, and upon seeing that decadent figure she had dreamed of for twenty years, tears instantly welled up in her eyes.

"Xiaogang... Big Brother..."

"Is it really you?"

Liu Erlong rushed over regardless of everything, wanting to throw herself into the arms of the Grandmaster.

The Grandmaster also opened his arms, tears in his eyes, preparing to welcome this moving reunion. At this moment, he felt that all the grievances he had suffered were about to be healed.

Just as their fingers were about to touch.

"BOOM----!!!"

A terrifying golden thunderbolt descended from the sky!

It struck the ground directly between the two of them!

The earth trembled, and soil splattered everywhere. A trench several meters deep forcibly separated the star-crossed lovers.

"Who is it?!"

Liu Erlong was furious. The hot-tempered Corner of Slaughter returned in an instant.

She spun around, looking up at the sky.

She saw a black shadow with dragon wings on its back hovering in mid-air, blocking out the sun.

Yu Tianyu flapped his dragon wings and slowly descended.

He did not look at Liu Erlong, but instead stared at the Grandmaster, who was retreating in fear, and mocked:

"How deeply moving."

"A coward who abandoned his wife on their wedding night to escape the judgment of the world."

"You actually have the face to come back and seek shelter from the woman you hurt?"

"Yu Xiaogang, is your skin made of city walls?"

"Who are you? How dare you meddle in my business!"

Flames surged from Liu Erlong's body as a crimson Fire Dragon spirit possessed her. Seven Spirit Rings shone, and the aura of a Spirit Saint erupted without reservation.

Although she was angry that the other party had interrupted their reunion, she was even angrier to hear him insult Xiaogang.

"Who I am is not important."

Yu Tianyu landed, ignoring Liu Erlong's flames, and walked toward the Grandmaster step by step.

"What's important is that I want you to see clearly exactly what kind of trash this man you've been pining for really is."

"You... don't come over here!" Seeing Yu Tianyu, the Grandmaster was like a mouse seeing a cat, terrified as he hid behind Flender.

"Erlong! He is that Yu Tianyu who humiliated me! Quick! Kill him!" the Grandmaster shrieked.

Seeing this scene.

Yu Tianyu laughed, laughing extremely loudly.

"Liu Erlong, do you see it?"

Yu Tianyu pointed at the Grandmaster, who was shivering behind someone else.

"Is this the man you have loved for twenty years?"

"When encountering danger, his first reaction isn't to stand up and protect you, but to hide behind you and let a woman fight for his life?"

"Back then, he fled the wedding because he was a coward who couldn't face the world."

"Now he has returned because he is at a dead end, wanting to live off your charity and use your academy to satisfy his vanity."

"You treat a man without a backbone like a treasure?"

Liu Erlong was stunned.

She looked at Xiaogang, who was hiding behind Flender, his eyes darting around, his face full of terror.

The image in her memory, once filled with wisdom and unyielding pride despite his lack of strength, was crumbling bit by bit.

"Xiaogang... is what he said true?" Liu Erlong asked with a trembling voice.

"No! That's not it, Erlong!" Grandmaster explained in a panic, "I did it for the greater good! I did it to train Xiaosan! I..."

"For the greater good?"

Yu Tianyu interrupted him directly, "Is it for the greater good to treat a woman like a tool? Is it for the greater good to be a deserter on your wedding night?"

"Admit it, Yu Xiaogang, you are a complete and utter failure."

"Enough!!"

Liu Erlong let out a roar, clutching her head with both hands, appearing to be in extreme agony. She didn't want to hear it, and she didn't dare to believe it.

She suddenly looked up, staring daggers at Yu Tianyu, her eyes spitting fire.

"Regardless of what Xiaogang is like, that is my business!"

"You ruined my reunion and insulted my lover... I'm going to tear you apart!!"

Boom!

Liu Erlong completely lost control.

Seventh Spirit Skill: Red Dragon True Body!

She transformed into a massive red fire dragon, carrying a high temperature capable of boiling the seas and scorching the heavens, and charged madly toward Yu Tianyu.

"Well come."

A flash of excitement crossed Yu Tianyu's eyes.

When dealing with such a volatile woman, reasoning was useless; only by beating her into submission, until her very soul trembled, would she ever look at you properly.

"Let me show you what a real dragon is!"

Yu Tianyu did not use a Spirit Skill.

He took a deep breath, and the power of the Dragon Slayer Mage within him erupted completely.

The Dragon God physique forged by the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was activated instantly.

"ROAR----!!!"

An earth-shattering Dragon Roar erupted from Yu Tianyu's throat.

This was no ordinary roar; it contained the absolute bloodline suppression of a superior dragon race over a lesser Sub-Dragon!

The aggressive Red Dragon True Body in the air actually ground to a halt under this roar!

Deep fear surfaced in those originally berserk dragon eyes.

It was submission! A trembling that originated from the depths of her soul!

"Get... down!!"

Yu Tianyu flashed, appearing instantly above the massive red dragon's head.

He didn't use any flashy moves; he simply raised his right foot, imbued with the force of thunder and ten thousand jun, and stomped fiercely onto the top of the red dragon's head!

BOOM!!

A loud crash echoed.

The red dragon that Liu Erlong had transformed into was actually forced into the ground by this single kick!

The ground collapsed, and dust billowed everywhere.

The Red Dragon True Body was shattered, and Liu Erlong reverted to her human form, coughing up blood as she lay in the bottom of the pit in a wretched state.

And Yu Tianyu, with one foot planted on her shapely back, stood like a warrior who had conquered a wicked dragon.

He bent down, grabbed Liu Erlong's hair, and forced her to look up.

"Are you awake now?"

Yu Tianyu looked at that beautiful face, still filled with anger and unwillingness, and gave a wicked smile.

"Instead of clinging to that failure who only knows how to run away."

"Why not... be my female tyrannosaurus."

"I am ten thousand times stronger than him, and I know much better than he does... how to tame you."

In the distance.

Watching Liu Erlong being trampled underfoot, Grandmaster's legs went weak, and he collapsed directly onto the ground, his face ashen.

He knew.

Not only was Lanba Academy gone.

But even Liu Erlong, his last backup, was about to be stolen away.
