Gangzi Regains His Confidence and Brings Shrek Academy to Seek Revenge!

Just then, Dai Mubai's eyes flickered as he suddenly spoke.

"I once heard that there was a theory master on the continent whose Martial Soul Theory, studied over his entire life, had all been stolen from Spirit Hall, yet he claimed publicly that it was the fruit of his own painstaking research."

The moment those words were spoken, everyone present was stunned.

All eyes instantly converged on Yu Xiaogang, their gazes filled with deep suspicion.

For a moment, everyone became convinced that the rumors were true and that Yu Xiaogang's theories had all been stolen.

Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang immediately recalled the humiliation of being mocked by Zhou Tao in public.

Overwhelming rage swept through his body, making him tremble uncontrollably.

He instantly fell into a frenzy, his eyes blood-red, breathing heavily as he glared furiously at Dai Mubai.

"You're talking nonsense!"

"These Martial Soul theories were all the result of half a lifetime of painstaking research. They were absolutely not stolen!"

"This is slander! Malicious defamation!"

Yu Xiaogang's ferocious expression and loss of control startled everyone present.

Seeing this, Dai Mubai grew even more enraged and immediately retorted.

"You've been stuck at Soul Power Level twenty-nine your entire life and have never broken through. How could you personally put anything into practice and develop such profound theories?"

"How do you explain that?"

Previously, everyone had shown restraint out of respect for Flender, knowing that Yu Xiaogang was a renowned theory master.

But now, it seemed that he was not only arrogant and contemptuous of others, but his theories were also unworthy of their reputation and likely stolen.

His Soul Power Level was not even as high as theirs, so what gave him the right to lord over them and act so recklessly?

That questioning nearly made Yu Xiaogang cough up blood in anger.

His heart was filled with resentment. He felt that these juniors, like Zhou Tao, had no understanding whatsoever of respecting their elders and teachers.

Seeing this, Flender hurriedly tried to smooth things over awkwardly.

"Ahem, although Xiaogang's Soul Power Level isn't high, his knowledge of Martial Soul Theory is absolutely among the best on the continent. You must believe me."

Yet no matter how he defended him, Dai Mubai and the others remained silent, with not the slightest sign of belief.

In their eyes, Yu Xiaogang had become a fraud who put on airs and chased fame.

Because of Yu Xiaogang's arrival, the once harmonious Shrek Academy instantly fell into a divided deadlock.

Left with no other choice, Flender could only forcefully speak up to stabilize the situation.

"Our greatest enemy right now is Zhou Tao!"

"Only by standing united can we contend with him and resolve this crisis."

"If we suspect one another and let resentment take root, then once Zhou Tao fully matures, all of Shrek will be destroyed!"

"From today onward, all of you will take Yu Xiaogang as your teacher."

"Believe me. Xiaogang may seem unreliable today, but one day he will definitely prove himself with his strength!"

Under pressure from Flender's uncompromising attitude, Dai Mubai and the others were deeply unwilling, but could only temporarily agree to accept Yu Xiaogang's guidance.

The years passed, and time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, several years passed.

During those years, Shrek Academy successively admitted two talented disciples, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.

After a period of careful training, the elite lineup of the Shrek Seven Devils was officially complete.

Looking at the talented lineup he had personally assembled, Yu Xiaogang's heart was filled with pride and satisfaction.

The desire for revenge that had lain dormant for years surged up once more. He desperately wanted to defeat Zhou Tao and prove his own strength.

Thus, Yu Xiaogang took the initiative to find Flender and discuss the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, as well as a strategy for dealing with Zhou Tao.

At present, Shrek Academy did not have official eligibility to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament.

Even with an elite lineup like the Shrek Seven Devils, they could not officially take the stage, compete, and make their names known.

After thinking it over repeatedly, Yu Xiaogang proposed a bold suggestion.

He planned to have the Seven Devils temporarily enroll in an advanced Soul Master Academy and borrow its qualification to compete.

Upon hearing this, Flender immediately felt reluctant.

"Xiaogang, if we send away all the academy's elite disciples, Shrek will be completely empty."

"This academy carries the work of my entire life. I truly can't bear to part with it."

Faced with Flender's hesitation, Yu Xiaogang looked utterly certain as he patiently persuaded him.

"Boss Flender, you should put the children's future first and consider the bigger picture."

"These seven children are all extraordinarily gifted and possess limitless potential."

"This Continental Soul Master Tournament is their best opportunity to make a name for themselves and rise to fame in one fell swoop."

"As long as they establish a formidable reputation in the tournament, we can use that fame to revive Shrek Academy!"

Yu Xiaogang painted Flender a grand vision, thoroughly shaking his resolve.

Flender looked hesitant. After pondering for a long time, he slowly spoke.

"You're right. I've been too selfish."

"Then which academy do you think would be most suitable for the children to study at temporarily?"

Seeing that Flender had been completely persuaded, Yu Xiaogang's lips curved into a confident smile.

He clasped his hands behind his back and gazed deeply ahead, looking entirely assured.

"There are very few top-tier advanced Soul Master Academies within the Heaven Dou Empire."

"The Four Element Academies only admit single-attribute Soul Masters. The Seven Devils all have different attributes and must never be separated, so we can rule them out."

"That leaves only one suitable choice: Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

"The Imperial Fighting Team under Heaven Dou Royal Academy has a solid foundation and considerable strength, yet it has never achieved outstanding results in the tournament."

"With our Shrek Seven Devils joining them, we will certainly make up for their shortcomings and seize the championship in one stroke!"

"Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

"That's a top-tier noble academy with extremely high entry requirements. Can our children truly enroll there smoothly?"

Yu Xiaogang replied in an assured tone, brimming with confidence.

"If all seven of us enroll together, bringing top-tier combat strength with us, they will be eager to have us and will never refuse."

"They need strong tournament results to gain fame, while we need eligibility to compete. The two sides complement each other perfectly."

Flender's heart jolted. This was not studying elsewhere at all; it was clearly a plan to relocate Shrek's entire core!

Seeing that Flender was still hesitant, Yu Xiaogang continued to persuade him sincerely.

"Boss Flender, you're already past several decades of age."

"Shrek's income is dismal now, and it cannot cover its expenses. This will most likely be its final class."

"Why not take this opportunity to secure a stable place for yourself and all our brothers to retire?"

Looking at Yu Xiaogang's incomparably sincere expression, Flender let out a long sigh and finally relented.

"Fine. I'll listen to you about everything."

"If we can find a stable place to settle down, it will not betray Old Zhao and the others' years of perseverance."

Having successfully persuaded Flender, Yu Xiaogang's face was filled with the confidence of someone who had everything under control.

He muttered inwardly, his eyes flashing with intense fighting spirit and a desire for revenge.

"Zhou Tao, I know you are at Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

"This time, I will bring the Shrek Seven Devils and come to meet you in person!"
