Shrek's Greed: Seizing Blue Silver Academy?!

Dugu Yan's heart was full of anticipation.

What did that Blue Silver Dean, whom even her proud and arrogant grandfather revered so deeply, actually look like?

Was he an immortal-looking old man with a white beard?

Or a stern and imposing middle-aged powerhouse?

Although Blue Silver Academy had left her somewhat traumatized during the day, hearing that the other party could completely cure her terminal illness naturally made Dugu Yan willing to become his disciple.

She longed too desperately to live.

During the day at the academy, seeing girls her own age like Shui Bing'er and Ye Lingling possessing such overwhelmingly powerful strength had filled her with envy.

If becoming his disciple could make her as powerful as them—

She could not have wished for more.

Dugu Yan took a deep breath and followed her grandfather into the core region of Lake of Life.

A rich aura of life rushed toward her.

She raised her head and looked toward the massive boulder.

The instant she saw that figure—

Dugu Yan froze completely.

There was no white beard, nor a face weathered by age.

Sitting there was actually a young man in green robes who looked no older than eighteen.

The youth possessed an exceptionally handsome, otherworldly face and a tranquil, ethereal bearing, like an immortal who had stepped out of a painting.

Those deep eyes were calmly watching her.

Dugu Yan's heartbeat suddenly skipped.

A blush swiftly crept across her cheeks and spread to the tips of her ears.

So handsome!

No matter how she looked at him, he did not seem like some old monster!

Dugu Bo hurriedly tugged on his granddaughter's sleeve from the side, secretly urging her on.

"Yanyan, what are you spacing out for?"

"Why aren't you kneeling to greet the Dean?"

Dugu Yan abruptly came back to her senses and quickly dropped to both knees.

"Dugu Yan... greets the Dean!"

Xu Qing sat upright atop the boulder, his expression utterly calm.

He raised his right hand, and light flashed across his palm.

An immortal herb emitting a peculiar medicinal fragrance appeared out of thin air.

The herb was crystalline throughout, displaying a strange blend of emerald green and fiery red.

Xu Qing's fingertips moved slightly.

A drop of incomparably pure life essence flew from his fingertips and landed precisely within the immortal herb.

In an instant—

The immortal herb radiated brilliantly, its interior infused with boundless life force.

"Eat it."

Xu Qing casually tossed the immortal herb toward Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan caught the immortal herb in both hands and felt a warm current flow from her palms into every part of her body.

She did not hesitate and directly placed the immortal herb into her mouth.

The herb melted the moment it entered her mouth, turning into a scorching stream that surged down her throat and into her internal organs.

Immediately afterward—

Dugu Yan let out a muffled groan of pain.

The Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison within her body was completely ignited at that moment.

The violent toxin rampaged wildly through her meridians, trying to lash back.

Yet it was tightly enveloped by that immense life force.

The power of life merged with the herb's medicinal energy and began forcibly cleansing the toxins buried deep within her marrow.

Dugu Yan trembled from head to toe in pain, sweat instantly soaking through her clothes.

Yet she bit down hard on her lips without making a sound.

A blinding mass of emerald-green light erupted from within her body.

The phantom of a Jade Phosphorous Serpent condensed behind her.

As the toxin was continuously purified, the phantom of that Jade Phosphorous Serpent began undergoing earth-shaking changes.

The snake shed its skin, grew horns, and sprouted scales.

Its originally sinister aura gradually dissipated, replaced by a noble and majestic dragon aura!

Martial Soul Evolution!

The light gradually faded.

Dugu Yan slowly opened her eyes, unprecedented brilliance shining within her emerald-green pupils.

She could clearly feel that the hidden danger of the toxins that had tormented her for more than a decade had not only vanished completely.

Her Martial Soul had also undergone an epic transformation.

Even her Soul Power had broken through several bottlenecks in one stroke.

When Dugu Yan looked at Xu Qing again, the shock and reverence in her eyes had turned into pure, fervent devotion.

She heavily knocked her forehead against the ground.

"Thank you, Master, for granting me a new life!"

"From this day onward, Yanyan belongs to Master in life and will be Master's ghost in death!"

She had completely devoted herself to him.

The pride of the Dugu Family was simply not worth mentioning before the miracle bestowed by her master.

Her only identity now was Master's disciple!

Dugu Bo stood to the side and witnessed his granddaughter's transformation from beginning to end.

He was so excited that tears streamed down his aged face, his hands trembling.

Ecstasy!

Absolute ecstasy!

The terminal illness was cured, and her Martial Soul had evolved.

Most importantly, they had truly found an unimaginably powerful patron!

Dugu Bo calmed himself somewhat and looked at Xu Qing with a hint of unease.

"Master... no, Dean."

"Yanyan has already entered your school. Then this old man..."

Dugu Bo rubbed his hands together, filled with anticipation.

Xu Qing glanced at him, his tone indifferent.

"Your strength is somewhat lacking."

"But since you handed over this treasured land, you may reluctantly remain at my Blue Silver Academy as a teacher."

Upon hearing those words—

The smile on Dugu Bo's face instantly stiffened.

He was completely dumbfounded.

A Title Douluo!

He was a genuine level ninety-one Title Douluo!

In the entire Heaven Dou Empire, what advanced Soul Master Academy would not worship him like an ancestor?

Yet in Xu Qing's words, his "strength was somewhat lacking," and he could only "reluctantly" serve as a teacher?

Dugu Bo opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

But beneath Xu Qing's deep gaze, he forcibly swallowed the words back down.

He did not dare refute even a single word.

Then—

An utterly terrifying thought suddenly exploded in his mind.

As a dignified Title Douluo, he could only reluctantly be a teacher at this academy?

What did that mean?

It meant that the other teachers, and even the administrators here, were stronger than him?!

Dugu Bo sucked in a breath of cold air.

He recalled the emerald-green figure that had flashed through the forest when he infiltrated the academy earlier.

That woman named Bi Ji!

At the time, he had only felt that her aura was elusive and had not looked into it further.

Now that he thought about it carefully—

The life force radiating from that woman was deep as an abyss, far more terrifying than even a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!

And there was also the gatekeeper standing outside the main entrance.

Dugu Bo had deliberately avoided the front gate when he climbed over the wall to enter.

Thinking back on it now, that gatekeeper's aura had also been unfathomable.

My heavens.

What kind of monster nest was this Blue Silver Academy?!

The more Dugu Bo thought about it, the more frightened he became, his scalp going numb.

The way he looked at Xu Qing grew even more reverent.

At the same time.

Elsewhere, within Heaven Dou City.

Blue Tyrant Academy, the Dean's office.

The atmosphere was somewhat solemn.

Flender adjusted the crystal glasses on his nose, looking eagerly at Liu Erlong seated across from him.

"Erlong, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"Xiaogang's theories need a platform to flourish, and the children need a better cultivation environment."

Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back, his expression stern.

He looked at Liu Erlong and let out a long sigh.

"Erlong, Shrek needs to make a name for itself."

"Although we have left the village, we cannot abandon Shrek's spirit."

"Only by renaming the academy can I rightfully lead these children in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament."

Liu Erlong frowned slightly, somewhat conflicted.

"But Xiaogang, Blue Tyrant Academy is the work of my many years."

"Would directly changing it to Shrek not be unfair to the original teachers and students?"

Yu Xiaogang refuted her with righteous indignation.

"Those who accomplish great things do not fuss over trivial matters."

"Shrek represents true monster geniuses and the future of the Soul Master world."

"This is an act of justice. They should feel honored."

Under Yu Xiaogang and Flender's repeated persuasion—

Liu Erlong ultimately compromised.

"Fine. As you wish, the academy will be renamed Shrek."

Upon hearing those words—

The tension in Yu Xiaogang's face finally eased somewhat.

Shrek Academy had thus seized Blue Tyrant Academy's nest and successfully taken root in Heaven Dou City.

Not only that—

During this period, the strength of the Shrek Seven Devils advanced by leaps and bounds.

Under Yu Xiaogang's devilish training, Tang San's Soul Power increased again, while his techniques with hidden weapons became increasingly proficient.

Dai Mubai had also undergone a process of destruction and rebirth.

However—

The hatred in Dai Mubai's heart had already grown wildly like weeds.

On the training ground—

Dai Mubai smashed the wooden post before him with a single punch, a fierce gleam filling his eyes.

"Blue Silver Academy!"

"Those bitches, I will absolutely make them pay!"

Tang San stepped forward and patted Dai Mubai on the shoulder.

"Boss Dai, don't worry."

"We of Shrek will definitely settle this score."

Ma Hongjun also chimed in from the side.

"That's right, we Shrek Seven Devils are invincible!"

"I heard that Blue Silver Academy occupies an excellent cultivation treasure ground as well."

"Perfect. We can use revenge as an excuse to seize that place and make it our new campus!"

Yu Xiaogang walked over from afar. Hearing the children's discussion, he nodded in satisfaction.

"You're right."

"Blue Silver Academy acts with such ruthlessness, crippling people's meridians. It's simply a malignant tumor in the soul master world."

"We of Shrek stand for justice. We must eradicate this tumor."

Liu Erlong stood to one side, a trace of worry flashing through her eyes.

"Xiaogang, is this really all right?"

"We are outsiders, after all. Going directly to seize someone else's territory..."

Yu Xiaogang turned to Liu Erlong, his tone exceptionally firm.

"Erlong, you are too kindhearted."

"I investigated it. That Blue Silver Dean is, at most, a Soul Douluo."

"A mere Soul Douluo doesn't deserve to possess such a peerless treasure land."

"Only by handing it over to Shrek can it bring out its greatest value!"

Hearing the Grandmaster's analysis.

The Shrek Seven Devils' eyes all lit up with blazing anticipation.

Revenge.

Seize the land.

Two birds with one stone!

Early the next morning.

The Shrek group marched grandly through the streets of Heaven Dou City and arrived before Blue Silver Academy's gates.

The moment they drew near.

Everyone involuntarily came to a stop.

Rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth rushed toward them on the breeze.

With a deep breath, even the circulation of Soul Power within their bodies sped up somewhat.

Flender's eyes widened as he cried out in astonishment.

"What dense energy!"

"This place is practically a paradise for cultivation!"

Tang San was also secretly startled.

He cultivated the Mysterious Heaven Skill, making his perception of the primordial energy of heaven and earth exceptionally keen.

The spiritual energy here was countless times denser than at their Shrek Academy!

Greed flashed through Yu Xiaogang's eyes.

He became even more determined to seize this place.

"Come, let's go in and pay this Blue Silver Dean a visit."

"By all rights, such a wonderful place should belong to Shrek's geniuses!"
