What Kind of Trash Is Shrek? Is It Even as Good as Heaven Dou Royal Academy?

The sudden voice startled Yu Xiaogang.

Looking up, he saw a hunched old man striding toward him.

"Who are you? Why are you interfering with my business?"

Yu Xiaogang frowned.

"Hmph, I am Meng Shenji, chief of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Education Committee!"

Meng Shenji snorted coldly. He was somewhat surprised by Yu Xiaogang's attempt to poach someone. Was a trash academy like Shrek Academy even worthy of competing with Heaven Dou Royal Academy for talent?

He had investigated Shrek Academy. Its funding was insufficient, and when it had nearly declared bankruptcy, it had only managed to stay afloat thanks to sponsorship from Dai Mubai, a prince of the Star Luo Empire's Dai Clan.

Otherwise, it would have scattered to who knew where long ago.

It only had two Soul Saints, not even a single Soul Douluo. How could its teaching staff compare to Heaven Dou Royal Academy's?

Meng Shenji!

Yu Xiaogang narrowed his eyes. He had never expected Heaven Dou Royal Academy to poach talent too. He had no advantage whatsoever and could only give up.

In the end, he left with Tang San, while Xiao Wu had long since departed through another exit.

Tang San glanced at Shen Yifeng. The sight of him being surrounded by so many people was truly unpleasant.

I will definitely defeat you!

"A Soul Master lost to an Auxiliary System Soul Master, and his teacher is only a Soul Grandmaster. They really are a perfect match."

Bai Baoshan's voice drifted over leisurely.

The two who were leaving paused, but neither turned around. Without strength, there was nothing they could say.

"Student Shen Yifeng, come to Heaven Dou Royal Academy. I'll give you the best resources. Your friend Gu Yuena will receive equally excellent treatment."

Meng Shenji warmly extended the invitation, afraid of missing out on this genius.

"It seems the chief has come well prepared. This should have something to do with His Highness the Crown Prince, right?" Shen Yifeng asked with a smile.

"To some extent, but we truly recognize your talent."

Meng Shenji coughed lightly. If Shen Yifeng refused to join, they would practically have to kneel and beg him.

The other Four Elements Academies were not worthy of competing with them either.

They were determined to win the Soul Master Tournament. Spirit Hall's Golden Generation had originally been a problem, but with Shen Yifeng joining them, his buffs alone could increase the team's overall strength by around fifty percent.

That was their conservative estimate. Yu Tianheng was a Soul Master with a Dragon-type Martial Soul, so the effects of those buffs were easy to imagine. And Gu Yuena, standing before them, possessed seven elements.

Therefore, recruiting Shen Yifeng was absolutely imperative.

"Look at you all, acting like you won't let me leave unless I agree."

"I never said I wouldn't agree. But after joining, the academy cannot restrict my freedom."

Shen Yifeng said.

"No problem."

My dear lord, as long as you agree, that's all that matters. How would we dare restrict you at the academy?

His Highness the Crown Prince has repeatedly ordered us to recruit you.

The corners of Gu Yuena's lips curved upward. Her husband was treated like a prized treasure wherever he went.

"Time is of the essence. Let's set off now and get you registered. As for whether you live at the academy, that will be entirely up to you."

Shen Yifeng nodded.

"Alright, then let's go to Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

Meng Shenji and the other two were overjoyed and hurriedly led the way.

After the four left, the Four Great Fierce Beasts emerged from the shadows.

"The Lord and Lady have gone to an academy. Let's follow them quietly."

Di Tian said gravely, "If some fool comes looking for trouble, we can act in time."

"Don't worry, we'll head there right away."

Xiong Jun said.

Bi Ji and Zi Ji nodded and were about to leave.

Suddenly, a group of people surged over and surrounded Xiong Jun.

This left all four of them completely bewildered.

Why were they stopping them?

"We have been watching you for a long time. You fought very hard during Rainbow Dragon King's battle, and you are quite powerful as well. We formed the Rainbow Dragon King Support Club and would like to recommend you as its president. Would you be willing?"

A mature older woman explained why they had come.

After hearing the explanation, even Xiong Jun became a little embarrassed by all the praise.

It was his first time being surrounded by so many humans, and it was because they were forming a support club for the Lady.

"Hehe, thank you for the praise."

"Since that's the case, I'll agree. How many members do you have?"

Since it was related to the Lady, he certainly could not refuse.

"Three hundred. The strongest among us is only a Soul Emperor, so we need you to lead us. We searched everywhere for you before finally finding you."

The woman said.

The other three looked at one another. What was going on? Xiong Jun had become the president of a support club?

What kind of joke was this?!

Why had they not been asked?

"Let's go, the three of us will head over. Let Xiong Jun stay here by himself. It is related to the Lady, after all."

Di Tian called out to Xiong Jun, then immediately left with Bi Ji and Zi Ji.

Meanwhile, Shen Yifeng and the others passed through the bustling streets and soon arrived at the gates of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

The towering entrance was grand and imposing. Armored guards stood at the gate, while the students coming and going all wore identical uniforms.

Meng Shenji led the two into the academy and headed straight for registration.

"Fill out the registration forms."

A staff member handed them two forms.

Shen Yifeng picked up a pen and wrote, "Shen Yifeng, Level 35 Auxiliary System Soul Elder."

Gu Yuena followed suit, writing, "Gu Yuena, Level 34 Assault System Soul Elder."

Meng Shenji leaned over to look. He remained calm when he saw Shen Yifeng's name, but the moment he saw Gu Yuena's level, he froze.

"A Level 34 Soul Elder?"

He had only focused on Shen Yifeng before and had not examined Gu Yuena's strength carefully at all.

He had never expected this delicate-looking young girl to be a Soul Elder as well, only one level below Shen Yifeng.

"Good, very good!"

Meng Shenji was overjoyed. "We've truly found treasures!"

Bai Baoshan and Zhi Lin were equally delighted.

With these two geniuses joining, they had gained much more confidence in the upcoming Continental Soul Master Tournament.

"Shen Yifeng, Gu Yuena, do you want to join the Heaven Dou Team?"

Meng Shenji asked.

"Of course. But have you chosen all your team members yet? I remember there is someone with the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul?"

"Not yet. There are still several years left, so how could we settle things so quickly? The first team only has Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling for now. The others are still being assessed and will only join after they are confirmed. You two are very talented, so you can join the team directly."

Some of the others had been personally selected by Yu Tianheng, but compared to Shen Yifeng and Gu Yuena, they were not nearly good enough.

Yu Tianheng seemed suitable as captain for now, but if Shen Yifeng achieved even greater breakthroughs later, he would have a high chance of becoming captain himself.

With the original three plus two more, they only needed to arrange substitutes.

All that remained was to practice their coordination and make a glorious charge for the overall championship.

Winning the Soul Master Tournament would be a great achievement for them as well.

"I'll take you to meet your three teammates."

Meng Shenji said.

"No problem."

Meng Shenji then led the two toward their destination, while Zhi Lin and Bai Baoshan headed to the Crown Prince's Mansion to report the situation.

On the roof, the three Fierce Beasts who had followed them were fairly satisfied with Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

"It's much more luxurious than Notting Academy."
