Ten Thousand Year Thunder Flood Dragon

Star Dou Great Forest.

Flender let out a long breath, suddenly folding the Cat Eagle wings on his back as he descended slowly from the air.

His clothes were torn in several places and his face showed signs of exhaustion, but the small eyes hidden behind his lenses flickered with unprecedented excitement.

That beast was quite cunning; once it realized it was outmatched, it tried to flee into the dense forest.

If his Cat Eagle spirit hadn't naturally countered the opponent in speed, he might have actually let it get away.

He reached up to push his glasses, his gaze sweeping over the ten-thousand-year Thunder Flood Dragon he had just slain to confirm that its life had been completely extinguished.

Only then did he let out a soft shout toward Yu Xiaogang, who was not far away: "Xiaogang, it's done, come over."

Yu Xiaogang, who had been hiding on the sidelines to avoid interfering with Flender's hunt, emerged from the shadows.

Accompanying him was that creature with purple fur all over its body, Luo Sanpao.

Luo Sanpao trotted along on its four short legs, its round, chubby body sticking close to Yu Xiaogang's feet.

Its eyes were fixed intently on the corpse of the Thunder Flood Dragon in the distance, a snorting sound escaping its mouth as it began to drool.

Yu Xiaogang reached out and patted its head, signaling it to be quiet.

Flender took all of this in, the corners of his mouth curling upward.

"Does this Thunder Flood Dragon meet your requirements?"

Flender pointed at the Thunder Flood Dragon and the ink-black soul ring hovering above its corpse.

"Based on your judgment and what I sensed while fighting it, its cultivation should be just over ten thousand years."

"It is enough."

Yu Xiaogang's gaze fell upon that black soul ring, a flash of irrepressible excitement crossing his eyes.

"A ten-thousand-year thunder-attribute sub-dragon soul beast, and its bloodline is quite thin."

Yu Xiaogang nodded vigorously, then turned to look at Flender: "Thank you for this, Flender."

His tone was filled with gratitude.

With his own strength as a level twenty-nine Soul Grand Master, hunting a ten-thousand-year soul beast was nothing but a pipe dream.

If Flender hadn't intervened, even if this Thunder Flood Dragon had just laid there for him to attack, he likely wouldn't have been able to scratch its scales.

A ten-thousand-year Thunder Flood Dragon of this quality would be enough to serve as a fifth soul ring for the most gifted disciples within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

As nourishment for Luo Sanpao's spirit to continue its growth, it was more than sufficient.

"Don't talk about such nonsense."

Flender slapped Yu Xiaogang's shoulder hard, sending him stumbling.

Yu Xiaogang swayed to the side, barely managing to steady himself before turning back to glare at Flender.

Flender didn't care in the slightest, grinning broadly.

"We are brothers, after all. Seeing you emerge from the shadows makes me very happy."

When Yu Xiaogang had been wallowing in self-pity, hiding away at Notting Academy for so many years, how could he, as his elder brother, not have known?

Flender had certainly known that Yu Xiaogang was hiding at Notting Academy.

With his connections and resources, finding Yu Xiaogang's whereabouts was not difficult.

But he had never taken the initiative to seek him out.

Since Yu Xiaogang was unwilling to reach out, he saw no need to provoke him; knowing that Yu Xiaogang was living well was enough.

He just hadn't expected Yu Xiaogang to emerge from his past gloom so quickly.

He had even taken the initiative to find him at Shrek Academy and inform him that he had found a way to resolve the defects of his spirit.

Upon first hearing these words from Yu Xiaogang, Flender had felt quite relieved.

He was happy that Yu Xiaogang had been able to step out of the darkness.

Flender stopped worrying about his image, wiped his glasses, and sat down on the ground.

He looked toward Yu Xiaogang, who was carefully observing the Thunder Flood Dragon not far away.

Flender's sense of relief deepened, and at the same time, he became increasingly interested in the peerless genius Yu Xiaogang had mentioned earlier.

Lin Mo.

Flender silently repeated the name in his heart.

Yu Xiaogang spoke of this child with the highest regard, possessing both Innate Full Soul Power and a powerful, unknown spirit.

Coupled with his natural divine strength, it was as if the heavens themselves were feeding him.

What was most rare, as Yu Xiaogang put it, was that the child possessed an incredibly sharp intuition.

He had helped Yu Xiaogang resolve his doubts on several occasions.

His physical constitution was also ridiculously strong; his body at the one-ring level was comparable to that of a level thirty power-attack type beast spirit master.

The gap between a one-ring Soul Master and a level-thirty Soul Elder, especially a Power Attack System beast-spirit battle soul master, was easy to imagine.

In terms of physical constitution, Lin Mo was actually able to bridge two major realms and stand on equal footing with a level-thirty Power Attack System battle soul elder.

A talent of this level could no longer be described as a genius; one had to call him a monster!

Lin Mo even had the intention of absorbing a thousand-year-level soul ring for his second soul ring slot!

For their Shrek Academy, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

What their academy lacked most right now was talent.

Although the few children currently enrolled, like Ma Hongjun and Oscar, possessed decent talent—

Oscar was even an extremely rare Food System user with Innate Full Soul Power.

But compared to Lin Mo, they all paled in comparison.

Thinking of this, Flender clicked his tongue in wonder.

If a genius of this level joined their Shrek Academy, then their Shrek Academy would truly take off.

With a genius of this caliber leading the way, their Shrek Academy would definitely soar in the upcoming Soul Master Tournament, transforming from a common chicken into a phoenix!

Moreover, a genius with Innate Full Soul Power would at least become a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse in the future.

Once Shrek Academy's reputation was established, would they still need to worry about not being able to recruit good seedlings?

However, Flender was also acutely aware that if it weren't for the fact that Yu Xiaogang had a good relationship with this child and had spent much effort persuading him, given his talent and temperament, any high-level academy within the Heaven Dou Empire would likely be begging him to join.

"Flender, stop thinking about Lin Mo over there.

If you want to see him, you can come back to Notting Academy with me later to meet him!

See if he meets your expectations." A voice from afar suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

Yu Xiaogang waved at Flender, seeing through his intentions at a glance.

Yu Xiaogang had known him for decades; one look was all it took to know what that guy was plotting.

"As for now, you had better come help me dissect this Thunder Flood Dragon.

With my current strength, just dealing with its carcass is already a very troublesome matter."

The scales on the Thunder Flood Dragon's body were exceptionally tough. Without Flender's assistance, with his mere level-twenty-nine soul power, he feared he wouldn't even be able to break through its scales.

"Coming!"

Flender slapped his forehead and ran rapidly toward Yu Xiaogang.

He had been so busy thinking about those random things that he had forgotten the task at hand.
