"Tang San?" Recognizing the figure, Lin Yu immediately identified who had stepped forward.
After all, at this moment, only the thick-skinned Tang San would dare to stand out.
"Xiao Yu, long time no see." Tang San walked over to Lin Yu's side with a smile on his face.
Seeing Tang San so close, Lin Yu's eyes flickered.
'Should I have Uncle Yue grab Tang San right now? At this distance, even if Tang Hao is guarding nearby, with Uncle Yue's current strength, Tang Hao wouldn't be able to react in time.' A fierce intent surged deep in Lin Yu's eyes.
In the end, though, Lin Yu chose to hold back.
For now, he still didn't know whether Asura was backing Tang Hao behind the scenes. If he seized Tang San and Tang Hao erupted again, even Yue Guan and the other two might not be a match for him.
And if that happened, Tang San would never let his guard down around Lin Yu again.
'Looks like I still need to find a chance to test the waters.' Lin Yu's gaze shifted, and then a smile spread across his face.
"Xiao San, what are you doing here?" Lin Yu put on a suitably surprised expression.
"Teacher sent me here to join this Shrek Academy." Tang San looked at Lin Yu a little sheepishly.
Even as he spoke, Tang San's eyes kept darting toward Yue Guan and the others behind Lin Yu.
Tang San was no saint. The Tang Sect specialized in hidden weapons—such a sect was hardly upright and aboveboard, especially since Tang San himself had stolen the sect's ultimate treasure.
"Shrek? That scam academy?" Lin Yu frowned upon hearing Tang San's words.
Before Tang San could respond, Dai Mubai spoke up.
"Who says Shrek is a scam academy? Can a scam academy have a Soul Saint and three Soul Elders as teachers?" Dai Mubai stared coldly at Lin Yu.
"Not a scam academy? Then tell me, what other academy holds classes in a tiny village like Shrek? What academy forcibly takes students' registration fees?
Aside from these teachers, what else does Shrek Academy have? In all the years since its founding, what notable achievements has it produced?" Lin Yu sneered contemptuously at Dai Mubai's words.
Lin Yu had no goodwill toward Dai Mubai whatsoever.
A man who abandoned his fiancée and fled alone, never once considering what Zhu Zhuqing would have to endure.
And after arriving at Shrek, instead of striving to improve, he wasted his days in debauchery.
If Dai Mubai had trained hard after leaving Star Luo City, Lin Yu wouldn't have minded so much—after all, a child facing such circumstances might naturally be afraid. But his subsequent behavior was utterly repulsive.
In fact, if Zhu Zhuqing hadn't later revealed her martial soul, Crown Prince Dai probably wouldn't have even remembered who she was!
Hearing Lin Yu's words, Dai Mubai was momentarily speechless, unsure how to respond.
"I recognize you. You're the one who took a pair of twins to check into a hotel yesterday, aren't you? Young and already wasting your days on such things instead of improving yourself.
Is this what Shrek taught you?" Seeing Dai Mubai at a loss for words, Lin Yu flashed another mocking grin.
"Can't say anything? Want me to spell it out?" Lin Yu looked at Dai Mubai with disdain.
"Shrek Academy has enrolled sixty-two students in total, but only fourteen have actually graduated.
Can you tell me what happened to the other forty-eight? A twelve-year-old with over level 20 Soul Power—which academy wouldn't offer them a bright future?
Yet because they joined Shrek Academy, they vanished into obscurity. And you managed to attract so many students by claiming that one of your graduates became an elder of our Martial Soul Hall?
Shrek Academy has been around for less than twenty years. Tell me, who reached Titled Douluo at thirty-two? Which elder of my Martial Soul Hall is that?" Lin Yu's expression turned icy cold.
It wasn't just because of the futures Shrek Academy had ruined, but also because Shrek was dragging Martial Soul Hall's name through the mud.
At Lin Yu's words, Tang San and Dai Mubai, who had wanted to argue, fell completely silent. Zhao Wuji and the others could only lower their heads, not daring to speak.
They were all teachers at Shrek and knew full well these things were true.
"Should such a scam academy even exist?" Lin Yu pointed at Dai Mubai and Zhao Wuji.
"Uncle Yue, take all these people back to Martial Soul Hall to answer for their crimes." Lin Yu said no more and directly ordered Yue Guan and the others beside him.
At this moment, Lin Yu truly displayed the authority befitting the Holy Son of Martial Soul Hall.
Hearing Lin Yu's command, everyone's faces turned ashen. With a Titled Douluo making a move, they had no chance of escape.
"Xiao San, is there anything else you want to say?" Lin Yu turned to Tang San with a warm smile.
He wanted to see, after all of Shrek's crimes were laid bare, whether Tang San still had the face to plead for them.
When Tang San had stepped forward earlier, Lin Yu had already guessed his intention. Otherwise, given Tang San's personality, why would he have come out—especially after six years of Yu Xiaogang's influence? By now, Tang San was probably already filled with hatred for Martial Soul Hall.
"Nothing much. I just saw an old friend and wanted to chat." Tang San gave an awkward smile.
"Then I'm afraid you'll have to wait until after I've dealt with Shrek Academy before we can talk." Lin Yu kept his smile.
"Alright, I'm not in a hurry." Tang San stepped back again.
"Wait. I am a prince of the Star Dou Empire. You have no authority to detain me." Dai Mubai, still unwilling to give up, revealed his identity in a last-ditch attempt.
"A prince of the Star Luo Empire? I didn't expect the Star Luo Empire to have fallen so low, joining a scam academy like this.
But doesn't the Star Luo Empire have its own academy? How did you end up in an academy within the Heaven Dou Empire?" Lin Yu wasn't intimidated by Dai Mubai's status at all and directly struck at his sore spot.
"You—!"
"You what? I don't care who you are. Using my Martial Soul Hall's name to commit fraud—even if you're a prince, you'll still pay the price. Martial Soul Hall will naturally notify the Star Luo Emperor.
He'll have to answer for his prince tarnishing Martial Soul Hall's reputation." Lin Yu stared coldly at Dai Mubai, completely ignoring the hatred and malice in the prince's eyes.
"Alright, it's time for you all to leave. From now on, there is no Shrek Academy."
Suotuo City already has its own Soul Master Academy, so why come to a place that clearly looks like a scam?" Lin Yu shook his head at the students registering here. He was doing this deliberately, as part of his plan to deal with those in Martial Soul Hall who had already fallen.
"It was people from Martial Soul Hall who told us to come to Shrek Academy." Just then, a voice came from somewhere unknown.
"People from Martial Soul Hall? It seems some have fallen." Lin Yu had been waiting for those exact words to appear—this was the first step in his crackdown on Martial Soul Hall.
"Uncle Ghost, handle this matter later."
"Let's go." With that, Lin Yu led Yue Guan and the others away from the place.
However, when they arrived, there were only four of them, but when they left, five people tied with ropes had been added behind them.
The ropes were nothing more than ordinary ones, but at that moment, no one dared to break free.
