History of Blue Tyrant Academy's Renaming to Shrek

The group stopped fifty meters below the Heaven Dou City gate. Su Ming deactivated his soul skill and followed Liu Erlong's guidance towards Blue Tyrant Academy.

Along the way, they listened to Liu Erlong introduce various districts of Heaven Dou City, the residences of nobles, Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Heaven Dou Auction House, and Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena.

Upon hearing "Great Soul Arena," Su Ming couldn't help but walk to the front of the group and interrupt Liu Erlong's introduction.

"Dean Liu, students from Heaven Dou Royal Academy should also go there for practical combat training, right?"

Liu Erlong, unbothered by the interruption, smiled and replied to Su Ming.

"Yes, a genius like you, upon arriving in a big city, naturally needs to compete and spar with peers. Suotuo City is large, but Heaven Dou City is larger and has more geniuses."

"Alright, once you're settled in the academy, you can go."

She then addressed the other two.

"Thank you, Dean Liu."

Su Ming, now back in the group, was secretly delighted. Students from Heaven Dou Royal Academy would go, and Dugu Yan would also be there. Heh heh.

Liu Erlong, still leading the way, continued to speak to the Shrek group as they walked.

"Since you're all new here, I'll introduce you to Blue Tyrant Academy. Oh, no, from now on, it should be called Shrek Academy."

"Our academy has a forest that is the largest in Heaven Dou City, entirely belonging to the academy's resources. Although our facilities here aren't as good as Heaven Dou Royal Academy's, they aren't far off. The academy was founded twelve years ago because we only accept commoner soul masters."

"Therefore, the quality of the soul masters' martial souls is inferior to those in ordinary high-level soul master academies. But precisely because our students come from commoner backgrounds, they cultivate much more diligently than those from large families or noble families."

"In the previous Soul Master Tournament, we overcame many strong opponents and reached the top eight. Our result was only slightly worse than Heaven Dou Royal Academy's first team; we even eliminated their second team."

"With the addition of you four genius youths this year, I believe our Shrek Academy has a chance to reach the top three."

As Liu Erlong spoke, the group quickly arrived at the entrance of "Blue Tyrant Academy."

The gatehouse of Blue Tyrant Academy looked similar to the Heaven Dou City gate, though much more slender. The entrance of the gatehouse was indeed ten meters high.

Two giant dragon sculptures on either side of the gatehouse were carved with lifelike detail and exuded a powerful aura. Above the gatehouse, eight gilded characters read: Blue Tyrant High-Level Soul Master Academy.

Teachers were already waiting below the gatehouse. Upon seeing the group approach, a middle-aged teacher hurried forward to greet them.

"Dean, you're back. And who are these behind you?"

Liu Erlong nodded.

"Teacher Shu Yin, these are my friends. They are teachers and students from Shrek Academy, here to join the academy."

Seeing this, Shu Yin instinctively probed with her soul power. She sensed six soul masters whose auras were stronger than hers. She broke out in a cold sweat, took a deep breath, and quickly apologized.

"This humble one is Yin Shu, a level fifty-four Assault-type Battle Soul Master. Greetings to all, and welcome to Blue Tyrant Academy."

Liu Erlong said, "Teacher Yin Shu, please announce that an all-academy teacher and student assembly will be held tomorrow. I have important matters to announce."

"These are my friends; we haven't seen each other for many years. Today, we'll catch up. Please have the cafeteria prepare a lavish banquet in the private room on the second floor. I want to host them."

On the way to the cafeteria, Liu Erlong further explained the detailed situation of Blue Tyrant Academy to everyone. Although the academy had only over two hundred students, it had an excellent reputation in the Heaven Dou Empire's soul master community.

This place could be called the cradle of commoner soul masters. Despite being open for only twelve years, it had produced many commoner soul masters with considerable strength.

Liu Erlong fully displayed her straightforward nature. After hosting the Shrek Academy group for lunch, she answered everyone's questions one by one.

Then, she led the group on a tour of Blue Tyrant Academy before finally arranging accommodations for everyone in the faculty dormitory building, with each person having their own room.

As for matters like treatment, Liu Erlong directly deferred them to Flender. After all, starting from tomorrow morning, once Liu Erlong made her announcement, the academy would be renamed Shrek Academy and would no longer be Blue Tyrant.

The next morning, Su Ming woke up early and went to the academy's center to attend the all-academy teacher and student assembly. There, he witnessed Liu Erlong announce that Blue Tyrant Academy would henceforth be renamed Shrek Academy and heard Flender's first speech as the dean.

He saw the words "Blue Tyrant Academy" being removed from the gatehouse and "Shrek Academy" being re-hung.

After all this was done, the morning passed. After lunch, Su Ming sat there in a daze for a while before his body suddenly jolted.

Su Ming suddenly remembered his little brother, Wang Sheng. He wondered how his martial soul evolution was going. If he had followed Su Ming's plan, he might actually be at the current Shrek Academy.

Su Ming quickly left the dining hall, used his Cloud martial soul's first soul skill to grow two wings on his back, and flew towards the teaching office to look for him.

Flying to the ground floor of the academic building, Su Ming jogged inside and quickly found the archives. Upon entering, he saw a teacher inside.

After Su Ming introduced himself and explained that he was looking for someone, the teacher managing the archives naturally did not stop him.

The managing teacher listened to Su Ming's description of the person he was looking for and immediately stated that such a person existed. He even had a good impression of this student and quickly pulled out the file and handed it to Su Ming.

Su Ming opened the file and drew out the first page. Seeing "Wang Sheng" written in the name column, he nodded.

Seeing Su Ming nod, the managing teacher beside him very astutely reminded him to sit on the nearby sofa and read.

Su Ming readily agreed, sat on the sofa, pulled out the file, and began to examine it.

Wang Sheng, 17 years old, martial soul Blazing War Tiger, currently a level 34 Battle Soul Elder. He came to Blue Tyrant Academy three years ago, along with his current class.

After seeing this basic information, Su Ming stopped reading. The rest was just routine training data. He put the file away and handed it back to the managing teacher.

Su Ming quickly left the academic building and used his Fly martial soul to fly to Wang Sheng's class. He inquired with other classmates and found that Wang Sheng was not there.

Wang Sheng had gone to the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena for practical combat training, in preparation for participating in this year's All Continent Soul Master Elite Tournament.

Upon learning this, Su Ming, who was also planning to go to the Great Soul Arena to coincidentally meet Dugu Yan, also headed to the Great Soul Arena.

The Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena was generally oval-shaped, reaching over 180 meters in height. It was divided into three main arenas and thirty-six sub-arenas, twice the size of the Suotuo Great Soul Arena.

It could accommodate 200,000 spectators simultaneously, including 300 VIP boxes. It was not only a place for soul masters to spar and exchange ideas but also a venue for various forces in Heaven Dou City to display their strength.

Su Ming was naturally familiar with the rules of the soul arena. At the Suotuo Great Soul Arena, he was already a holder of the Golden Soul Master badge.
