"I'm Liu Erlong, dean of Blue Tyrant Academy. Where is Flender? Why hasn't he come to see me?"
Liu Erlong's slightly angry voice rang out, making Tie Xiong's head buzz.
"Greetings, Dean Liu. Boss Fu still needs to teach the students, so he did not come."
Lu Qibin also came to his senses at this point. There was definitely a story between Dean Liu and Boss Fu.
A mysterious smile appeared on his kind face as well.
It took Liu Erlong several breaths before her emotions settled. Then she looked at Tie Xiong. "Are you the Little Monster Flender mentioned in his letter?"
"Greetings, Sister. The teachers all call me that!"
Tie Xiong chuckled.
"Come with me!"
Liu Erlong said calmly.
Following behind Liu Erlong, Tie Xiong observed Blue Tyrant Academy.
This was what an advanced Soul Master Academy was supposed to look like. Compared to this, Shrek Academy did not even count as a makeshift operation.
There were Training Grounds, teaching buildings, Mimicry Training Rooms, and vast stretches of forest nearby.
It had everything—both the environment and cultivation facilities.
Tie Xiong and Lu Qibin followed Liu Erlong all the way into the forest outside the main campus.
"Academy restricted area. No entry without permission!"
It seemed this was where Liu Erlong usually lived.
Fresh air filled his lungs, and Tie Xiong took a deep breath.
Then Tie Xiong felt himself fly into the air. He hurriedly adjusted his posture, clasped his hands over his head, rolled several times, and landed on the ground.
When Tie Xiong got up, he saw that Liu Erlong, who had been perfectly calm just moments ago—
Was now wreathed in flames. Seven Soul Rings circled her body. Her clothes could no longer be seen, her skin was covered in fiery red scales, and her hands had turned into dragon claws.
"One after another, none of you want to see me. And now you're actually troubling me over this Little Monster. Come on, let me see whether you really are a Little Monster!"
Tie Xiong suddenly heard Liu Erlong's furious voice.
The next moment, Liu Erlong's dragon claw struck directly at Tie Xiong.
Everything happened so fast that even Lu Qibin failed to react.
Tie Xiong hurriedly summoned his Soul Rings and immediately used his first soul skill, Berserk State.
He swung his hammer to meet the attack.
He was not someone who would sit and wait for death.
Yet without any suspense, he was sent flying again.
"I advise you not to move. Otherwise, I'll beat you too!"
Liu Erlong suddenly turned to Lu Qibin and said.
Lu Qibin gave an awkward smile and stopped what he was doing. He could tell Liu Erlong only wanted to test Tie Xiong's strength.
Little Monster, pray for yourself. Even I can't protect you.
As expected of someone entangled with Boss Fu. Her Soul Power fluctuations were not the slightest bit weaker than Boss Fu's.
"Don't you have a Bear Paw Soul Bone? Didn't you absorb a Soul Ring beyond your level? Use them!"
Liu Erlong's furious voice rang out.
"Mother Tyrannosaurus, take my hammer!"
Tie Xiong was angry too.
Why were you taking your mess with Flender and Yu Xiaogang out on me?
"Who did you call Mother Tyrannosaurus?!"
Liu Erlong struck again in fury.
This time, Tie Xiong fully activated his External Soul Bone, and his initial strength instantly rose to three thousand five hundred jin.
Yet he was still sent flying.
Tie Xiong was not discouraged. He stacked his hammer force and charged at her again.
As if he did not know fatigue, he swung hammer after hammer at her.
What he did not know was that Liu Erlong was also shocked by Tie Xiong's hammer force.
Tie Xiong calling her Mother Tyrannosaurus was not wrong at all.
Her Martial Soul, the Fire Dragon, possessed enormous strength.
She understood even better the strength a Soul Master should possess at every stage.
And once Tie Xiong stacked his hammer force beyond the tenth strike—
His strength was already comparable to a Soul Elder's.
No wonder Boss Fu called him a Little Monster!
"Strongest strike. Eighteenth Hammer—I hammer!"
Tie Xiong roared as he brought down his final hammer.
The force of this hammer had already exceeded twenty-five thousand jin.
A violent collision rang out. Tie Xiong flew away, his Soul Power completely exhausted.
Meanwhile, Liu Erlong's dragon claw remained as steady as a mountain.
Tie Xiong lay on the ground, baring his teeth as he gasped. Every inch of his body hurt, and scattered sparks had burned his clothes into tatters.
He looked utterly miserable.
Mother Tyrannosaurus is way too violent. One day, I'll hammer her into the air.
Tie Xiong was furious and glared fiercely at Liu Erlong.
"Not convinced?"
Liu Erlong smiled, and she smiled happily.
After sending Tie Xiong flying more than ten times, the anger in Liu Erlong's heart had already faded. Now, seeing the unconvinced look in his eyes—
Liu Erlong raised her dragon claw again.
Tie Xiong felt a chill run through his entire body. When it was time to yield, he had to yield. His expression changed instantly.
"Don't, Sister, I'm convinced! How could I not be? Sister is beautiful and strong! Your Martial Soul is even a dragon—you're destined for a title!"
Tie Xiong hurriedly put on a smile and said sheepishly.
"Really convinced? You called me Mother Tyrannosaurus just now."
Although the word "Sister" sounded pleasant, Liu Erlong did not seem to believe him.
"Did I? Teacher Lu, did I call her that? I was sent flying again and again. Even if I wanted to shout it, I couldn't!"
Tie Xiong looked toward Lu Qibin beside him.
"I didn't hear it either!"
As he spoke, Lu Qibin hurried over and used his Soul Power to examine Tie Xiong's body.
"Consider yourself tactful, kid!"
A smug smile appeared on Liu Erlong's face.
You're a Soul Saint. Why are you bickering with me? You have no dignity at all. Sooner or later, I'll hammer you into pieces, Liu Erlong.
Yu Xiaogang, we haven't even met yet, but this grudge is already settled. If I don't hammer you into pieces someday, I won't be able to clear my mind.
Flender, considering how much you've helped me, I'll still hammer you—but I'll hit you a few fewer times.
"Five hundred meters east, at the edge of the forest, there's a wooden cabin. You can stay there for now. Also, I've taken note of what Flender wrote in his letter!"
With that, Liu Erlong left.
Leaving Lu Qibin and Tie Xiong staring at each other.
"Teacher, you have no loyalty at all. She threatened you once, and you just abandoned me!"
Tie Xiong said aggrievedly.
Now that he carefully felt it, his whole body ached. This beating had been far too unfair.
"You'll have to take that up with Boss Fu. You took that beating in his place!"
Even Lu Qibin's kind face took on a shameless expression.
Tie Xiong shook his head speechlessly, changed the shoe on his right foot, and headed east with Lu Qibin.
The wooden cabin truly was just a wooden cabin—extremely crude. After traveling all this way, both of them were tired.
Tie Xiong's entire body still hurt, so he quickly applied medicinal paste, cultivated for a while, and then rested.
The next day, shortly after dawn, Tie Xiong got up full of energy again.
At that moment, a teacher nearing forty arrived in front of the wooden cabin.
"I'm Yin Shu. You must be Teacher Lu and Tie Xiong. The dean asked me to introduce the Mimicry Environment to you. Follow me!"
With that, he walked outside.
Tie Xiong and Lu Qibin followed him curiously.
Yin Shu led Tie Xiong and Lu Qibin to a three-story teaching building. The entire building was constructed from granite.
Inside, it was divided into separate rooms, spacious and bright, with black crystals embedded all around the walls.
"This is the Gravity Chamber for Power-type Soul Masters. These black crystals can stimulate the circulation of Soul Power within the body and speed up cultivation. The dean told me that Tie Xiong is a Power-type Soul Master, so there is no better place for him to cultivate!" Yin Shu explained as they walked.
