As everyone turned around, a woman who looked to be in her thirties appeared.
The woman wore a simple blue cloth dress, and a wisp of blue hair was tied up with a cloth. Her features were delicate and beautiful on her somewhat pale face. Compared to those young girls, she had a touch of maturity. And under the cloth dress was a hot and perfect figure that ordinary girls could not achieve.
" Er Long, what are you doing here?" Flender's voice rang out with surprise. He never expected that he would run into his old friend whom he hadn't seen for more than 20 years when he came here simply to join an academy.
"How could I not know about something so serious that happened to you?"
Although Liu Erlong is only a Soul Saint, she is also the illegitimate daughter of Yu Luomian, the dean of the Blue Tyrant Academy and the second-in-command of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Since she was the dean of an academy, information about the Shrek Academy was placed on her desk because of Wu Ling's actions.
From that intelligence report, Liu Erlong discovered that the dean of the Shrek Academy was none other than his friend Flender from over twenty years ago. And according to the established pattern of Flender and Yu Xiaogang being inseparable, wherever Flender appeared, Yu Xiaogang would definitely be there as well.
Thinking of this, Liu Erlong looked at the only person in the room with their back to her. Her gaze gradually softened and became full of love, completely different from her fiery self just now.
"... Xiao Gang, after all these years, are you still avoiding me?" Liu Erlong said as she slowly approached the figure.
Tang San Shrek members also noticed the subtle clues between the two. At Flender's signal, they did not make any rash moves, but simply watched as the two drew closer and closer.
Even though Yu Xiaogang had his back to Liu Erlong, he could still sense the familiar person getting closer and closer to him.
"Xiao Gang, I know what you're planning. You just want a legitimate academy, right? Come to our Blue Tyrant Academy! If the Heavenly Capital Heaven Dou Imperial Academy doesn't want you, I'll take you. As long as you're willing to come, I'll change the name of the Blue Tyrant Academy to the Shrek Academy, and I'll even make you or Flender the dean!"
Liu Erlong's words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly startling everyone present. As the saying goes, "A woman three years older than a man is like a gold brick," but Liu Erlong wasn't just a gold brick; she was practically giving away an entire academy!
Tang San others were surprised, but as surprised as they were, they didn't understand what this meant. However, the three education committee members did understand.
Back then, in order to successfully establish an academy in Heaven Dou City, which was home to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon behind her played a significant role.
Especially those academies built in the imperial capital, their importance can even rival that of the Thunder Academy, a prestigious academy under the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon banner.
It can be said that the position of Dean of the Blue Tyrant Academy is Soul Saint that even within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, there are many Soul Douluo who would fight for him, let alone Soul Saints. However, this position was ultimately given to Liu Erlong, simply because she has a powerful father.
You should know that Yu Luomian personally visited the three of them, as well as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Xue Ye, all for this position. He visited anyone even remotely connected to the higher-ups.
Now, before the man can even speak, she's already offering to give him the entire academy. Liu Erlong's actions completely trample on all of her father Yu Luomian's efforts, and then crush them underfoot.
At the same time, the Three Education Committee Members exchanged a subtle glance. They recognized Liu Erlong, but the once fiery and straightforward Liu Erlong had become like this, exactly like the disgusting brainwashing and bewitching ability described in the intelligence released by His Highness the Holy Son.
And Qin Ming just now, that feeling of "I'm willing to give everything for the Shrek Academy " was practically written all over his face.
Therefore, the three of them made a tacit decision in their hearts: they absolutely could not let Shrek Academy join their family's academy!
At the same time, after hearing Liu Erlong's promise, Yu Xiaogang could no longer bear the complex emotions and pressure in his heart, and frantically ran away into the distance.
"...Xiao Gang." Watching Yu Xiaogang run away, Liu Erlong withdrew her hand from mid-air. Originally, she could easily catch up with Yu Xiaogang with her strength, but even if she did, what difference would it make? She was after Yu Xiaogang's heart, so she decided to continue waiting until the day Yu Xiaogang changed his mind.
Liu Erlong shook her head, shaking away her reluctance, and then regained her usual fiery temper, beginning to greet Flender.
Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang did not do what they expected, because a tall and handsome figure blocked his way.
Yu Xiaogang ran with his head down, not noticing the other person for a moment, until the two collided. Yu Xiaogang was knocked to the ground as if he had hit a stone wall, while the other person simply wiped his chest, as if wiping away something dirty.
"Oh dear, look who this is! Isn't this Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang? Where are you in such a hurry to go?" Wu Ling looked down at Yu Xiaogang lying on the ground, a slightly mocking smile on his face.
However, to Wu Ling's surprise, Yu Xiaogang did not answer him. Wu Ling put away his smile and looked closely, only to find that Yu Xiaogang was already in a semi-conscious state.
"How fragile. But never mind, we should save the best for last. Let's go play with those guys up ahead first." With that, Wu Ling kicked Yu Xiaogang against the wall and strode over.
When Wu Ling walked over, the previously lively and bustling sounds seemed to be doused with cold water, and all the noise instantly stopped.
After a long silence, Meng Shenji, one of the Three Education Committee Members, stepped forward and said, " Your His Highness the Holy Son, we were unaware of your arrival today. Please forgive our lack of hospitality."
Wu Ling nodded in agreement, then looked at the Shrek group. When the Shrek members saw him approaching, they all became wary and assumed fighting stances, which made Wu Ling frown slightly.
Just as Flender, noticing Wu Ling's subtle actions, was about to step forward, Qin Ming appeared before Wu Ling and questioned, " Your His Highness the Holy Son, I would like to ask why you attacked Shrek Academy in the first place. I have seen the materials you distributed back then, but those people simply couldn't keep up with the teaching progress, which is not a valid reason to attack Shrek's teachers and students."
Upon seeing Qin Ming, who remained calm and composed in his presence, Wu Ling tilted his head and said, "You are... the Second Youngest Soul Emperor of the Continent, as recorded by the Spirit Hall, right?"
"That's right, it is I." As Qin Ming said this, he subconsciously puffed out his chest, which was the source of his confidence to question Wu Ling.
But the next second, instead of receiving a reply from Wu Ling, he was met with a palm strike from Wu Ling and a piercing pain.
The pain came and went quickly, but as the pain subsided, he felt his Soul Power constantly draining away.
Qin Ming's gaze unconsciously fell on Wu Ling's palm, where there was a sphere, and in the center of the sphere was a wolf-shaped figure surrounded by flames.
Subconsciously, Qin Ming had a definite thought, "That is... my Martial Soul!"
