Douluo: Jianmu Martial Soul, Am I an Abomination of Abundance?

"As for where he went, that was up to him."

After all, he was still his own grandson. They could not possibly punish him too severely. As long as he did not encounter Dugu Yan again, it would count as giving Poison Douluo an explanation.

Yu Luomian and the elders all nodded in satisfaction, then began discussing compensation again.

As for Yu Tianheng, far away at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, he was not doing nearly as well.

Qin Ming Talks About Shrek

Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Yu Tianheng hid in a small grove, his face pale and his arms wrapped around his head. He still could not believe everything that had happened today.

Everything felt like a nightmare, yet he could not wake up no matter what.

From his perspective, Yu Tianxin's preachy tone had been unbearably grating, and even the sight of him had been painfully irritating.

Yu Tianheng could not endure it any longer. After his treatment ended, he ran away and hid.

Tap, tap—

A set of footsteps came from nearby, making Yu Tianheng shudder instinctively. He turned toward the source in alarm.

But he discovered that the newcomer was a young man he knew very well, dressed in the Heaven Dou teacher's uniform.

Once he saw who it was, Yu Tianheng let out a long sigh of relief.

As long as it was not Yu Tianxin. If Yu Tianxin saw him in this state, who knew how he would mock him again?

"Teacher Qin Ming, why are you here?"

Yu Tianheng looked weakly at Qin Ming as he approached and asked.

"I didn't see you in the dormitory, so I came out to look around. How are you? Are you all right?"

Qin Ming looked at the dispirited student before him, then recalled how high-spirited he had been just a few days ago when he broke through Rank 30.

It was hard to believe that only a few days had turned him into this.

"Cough, cough. Thank you for your concern, teacher. I'm not dead yet."

Yu Tianheng's cold, numb face twitched slightly as he answered lifelessly.

"What are you going to do next? Stay at Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

Yu Tianheng gave a bitter smile and replied mockingly.

"Heh, how could I possibly stay? The clan elders are probably still discussing what to do with me right now.

"If I stay at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, they'll definitely worry that I'll keep harassing Dugu Yan. In that case, they'll most likely make me withdraw."

Over the past few days, Yu Tianheng had seen the clan elders clearly. Although they all shared the surname Yu and had blood ties of varying closeness, they were hardly intimate.

After making such a huge mistake, there would definitely be no shortage of people eager to kick him while he was down.

Even as Yu Yuanzhen's biological grandson, he would receive no exception. His uncle had gone through the same thing.

Qin Ming was not too surprised by Yu Tianheng's answer. He had expected it and simply nodded.

"You're still young, and you still have much to learn. Which academy do you plan to attend next?"

Hearing Qin Ming's question, Yu Tianheng gathered a little of his spirit and began to think.

Qin Ming was right. He was still young and had a vast future ahead of him. Just because he had lost to Yu Tianxin once did not mean he would keep losing forever.

There would be another Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament in a few years. As long as he worked desperately hard, he might not be unable to defeat Yu Tianxin before everyone and reclaim everything that should have been his.

However, Yu Tianheng subconsciously ignored Mu Ci, who had kicked him flying with a single blow.

The gulf between them was so immense that Yu Tianheng instinctively avoided thinking in that direction, much less entertaining any thought of surpassing him.

"I don't have many choices. Aside from Thunder Academy, there's Blue Tyrant Academy. I might go to Blue Tyrant Academy. My aunt runs it, so there shouldn't be a problem."

Liu Erlong treated everyone in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan equally. She was neither especially close to nor particularly disgusted by anyone.

Of course, Yu Luomian was an exception.

It was only natural for clan members to study at Blue Tyrant Academy. The clan had paid to build it in the first place.

Qin Ming fell silent for a while upon hearing that answer, then offered Yu Tianheng another option.

"Tianheng, do you know which academy I graduated from?"

The new question piqued Yu Tianheng's interest. His previously lifeless eyes regained some animation.

"Teacher Qin Ming became a Spirit King at such a young age. You must have come from a very famous advanced academy."

"I remember that your Martial Soul is the Blazing Wolf. Could you be from Blazing Fire Academy?"

Yu Tianheng was not guessing blindly. Across the entire continent, when it came to teaching fire-attribute Martial Souls, if Blazing Fire Academy called itself second, no one dared claim first.

After all, the major Elemental Academies each specialized in one attribute. It was perfectly normal for them to surpass other academies in their own field.

Even though Spirit Hall had fire-attribute Title Douluo, it might not dare claim to be better than Blazing Fire Academy at foundational education for fire-attribute Spirit Masters.

Qin Ming shook his head mysteriously and puffed out his chest, as though he were about to announce something extremely important.

"Tianheng, I didn't come from Blazing Fire Academy. I came from an advanced Soul Master Academy called Shrek."

Shrek Academy?

Yu Tianheng went through every Soul Master Academy he knew in his mind, whether from the Heaven Dou Empire or the Star Luo Empire.

He recalled all the ones he had ever heard of, yet found that he had never heard of the Shrek Academy Qin Ming mentioned.

Yu Tianheng could not help looking at Qin Ming in confusion. "Teacher Qin Ming, I don't think I've ever heard of this Shrek Academy."

He had at least served as team captain for several months. Memorizing the strong teams from past years was necessary work.

"Cough, cough. Although the Shrek Academy I came from has not been established for long, its teachings for Spirit Masters are absolutely no weaker than those of any other advanced Soul Master Academy."

"The reason my alma mater isn't famous is because of its harsh admission requirements."

Admission requirements? How harsh could they be?

To Yu Tianheng, that was not particularly novel. Every major advanced Soul Master Academy had its own enrollment requirements.

The Elemental Academies all required their students to possess compatible attributes. Skywater Academy had additional requirements: besides having ice or water attributes, one also had to be beautiful.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy also had requirements regarding noble titles, among other things.

These requirements were exceedingly harsh for many people.

Seeing Yu Tianheng's unconcerned expression, Qin Ming felt somewhat offended.

"My alma mater has no other additional requirements. It only requires one thing."

"It only accepts monsters, not ordinary people. Anyone who can enter Shrek is a peerless genius among tens of thousands."

"Yet even so, very few people can graduate from Shrek."

That admission requirement made Yu Tianheng's eyes light up.

It only accepted monsters, not ordinary people?

Seeing that Yu Tianheng was interested in his words, Qin Ming immediately pressed on.

"Tianheng, do you know the Golden Iron Triangle?"

Hearing that familiar term, Yu Tianheng looked at Qin Ming in surprise.

How could he not know it? Two members of the Golden Iron Triangle were very closely related to him by blood.

One was his biological uncle, while another was his cousin aunt, the dean of Blue Tyrant Academy.

"Teacher Qin Ming, was the Shrek Academy you mentioned founded by the Golden Iron Triangle?"

Yu Tianheng asked excitedly.

His aunt was in Heaven Dou City, so this Shrek Academy could only belong to either his uncle or the third member of the trio.

"That's right. The dean of Shrek Academy is one of the Iron Triangle, the Horn of Flight, Four-Eyed Owl Flender."

"Then, Teacher Qin Ming, have you heard of Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang?"

Before Qin Ming could continue, Yu Tianheng quickly asked his question.

"Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang? The Horn of Wisdom who stood alongside Dean Flender?"

Yu Tianheng nodded rapidly, his face full of anticipation.

He truly did not want to remain in that cold clan any longer. Now that he had heard news of his uncle, Yu Tianheng immediately found his goal.

Go find Uncle Yu Xiaogang!

"Yu Xiaogang?"

Qin Ming looked at Yu Tianheng in confusion, then suddenly thought of the connection between them.

Yu Tianheng could tell what Qin Ming was thinking and said, "Yu Xiaogang is my uncle. I haven't seen him in a long time."

Qin Ming nodded as though that was exactly what he had expected.

"I've heard the dean mention this Grandmaster before, but I never saw him at the academy."

Yu Tianheng was somewhat disappointed. The emotions that had just begun to rise sank once more.

Seeing this, Qin Ming hurriedly added.

"But Dean Flender said that all his methods for teaching students came from what he learned from the Grandmaster. And since the dean and the Grandmaster are known as the Golden Iron Triangle, there will definitely be news of the Grandmaster."

Yu Tianheng considered it and found that it made sense. He rose from the ground and looked at Qin Ming with shining eyes.

"Please tell me the academy's address, Teacher Qin Ming."

"I want to enroll in Shrek Academy."

Entrustment

Outside Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

A few days quickly passed, and this exchange gathering had reached its end.

The deans and leading teachers from several academies gathered at the entrance, talking nonstop about Mu Ci and the girls.

Mu Changsheng looked at Mu Ci, who was surrounded by the crowd, and transmitted his voice to him:
