Xu Qianqian headed to Sunset Forest, continuing her days of leveling up.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect also took action. Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo crossed mountains and valleys before arriving at Shrek Academy.

They looked down upon the entirety of Shrek Academy from the sky.

After observing it for quite some time, Ning Fengzhi remained calm and composed, while Sword Douluo's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Fengzhi, has your brain gone bad?" Sword Douluo said incredulously. "What else is studying in a place like this if not ruining children?"

Before coming here, they had specifically asked the Soul Saint assigned to protect Ning Rongrong to investigate Shrek's "glorious achievements" throughout its years in the Barak Kingdom.

An academy that accepted monsters—what a nice way to put it. But shouldn't your facilities at least keep up?

Requiring students to be over Rank 20 in soul power by the age of twelve was one thing, but their teaching facilities were practically nonexistent. Students even died while absorbing soul rings, and not just a few.

Soul Masters who possessed two hundred-year soul rings and had reached Rank 20 or above by age twelve generally had innate soul power of Rank 6 or even higher. Which one of them would not become an outstanding figure in the Soul Master world in the future?

Why would they need to enroll in your backwater academy?

Other academies would treat students like that as treasures. Besides, this year's enrollment requirements were even higher.

They had to be above Rank 25. Wouldn't that require innate soul power of Rank 7 or 8, perhaps even higher?

Never mind that the facilities could not keep up—several students could still die from absorbing soul rings before graduation.

So you did not feel the slightest bit of heartache when these students died?

With such supposedly formidable faculty, so many students could still die after graduating from your academy. Who would believe that?

Besides that, Sword Douluo had learned more from the Soul Saint who had delivered the report.

If Yu Xiaogang had not brought Shrek medicinal baths and improved their food, this kind of training would have crippled them sooner or later. Their so-called educational philosophy of over twenty years?

They were raising venomous insects. Those who could not last until the end simply were not considered good students.

"Fengzhi, this time, I have to thank that girl named Wendy. If not for her, I truly would not have known you were being so slippery."

"Uncle Sword..."

"Don't call me Uncle Sword. Call me Elder Sword." Sword Douluo's face stretched grimly long.

"If you keep Rongrong in a place like this, then don't bring Old Bone and me along when you go out to handle business in the future."

"We need to take care of Rongrong. We have no time to worry about you. If someone happens to kill you, we can just put Rongrong in your place. You owe her that much anyway."

Ning Fengzhi: "..."

Was that really necessary?

He was seizing power right in front of him. He was not even bothering to avoid people anymore.

"Uncle Sword, don't be angry. I'll take Rongrong away from Shrek in a moment."

"Hmph. It had better be so." Sword Douluo folded his arms and glanced at Ning Rongrong and the others, who were running while carrying stones on their backs.

"Fengzhi, go meet Flender. We're taking that hundred-thousand-year transformed soul beast as compensation for Rongrong."

With a wave of his hand, he used soul power to bring himself and Ning Fengzhi down to the ground.

"Who is it?!"

The undisguised pressure gave Shrek's teachers quite a fright.

With several whooshes, more than ten Shrek teachers appeared at the entrance together.

"Tell Flender that Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Sword Douluo Chen Xin have come to pay a visit." After Sword Douluo spoke, the Seven Killing Sword appeared in his hand.

Two yellow, two purple, and five black soul rings rose around him in succession.

"A... a Titled Douluo." The Shrek teachers present were all stunned. Upon hearing Sword Douluo's words, they hurriedly bowed in greeting.

Zhao Wuji and Flender rushed over as soon as they received the news.

"Greetings, Sect Master Ning. Greetings, Your Excellency Chen Xin." Flender had a sharp mouth and monkey-like cheeks, but he was quite perceptive. Seeing Flender bow, Zhao Wuji promptly followed suit.

"Bring all your students here. Rongrong as well." Sword Douluo was still the one speaking, while Ning Fengzhi wore a bitter smile beside him.

Uncle Sword had eaten gunpowder today. Better not speak. Better not speak.

Before long, all the Shrek students gathered at the entrance. Upon hearing the words "Titled Douluo," Xiao Wu's entire body stiffened, and her face turned deathly pale.

"Brother... I-I caught a cold, so... so I won't go watch the excitement."

"Hm?" Tang San frowned, feeling that something was off.

"Then go rest first. Ning Rongrong's family is here. I'll go take a look."

Tang San was wondering whether he could sell the hidden weapons in his possession. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was said to be obscenely rich.

"Okay..."

The other six of the Seven Monsters arrived at the entrance. Ning Rongrong introduced Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi to everyone.

Once Ning Rongrong had finished introducing them, Ning Fengzhi pulled her aside and said, "Today, Father is taking you home."

"Home?" Ning Rongrong's eyes widened. "I thought you didn't want me anymore!"

"Don't talk nonsense." Ning Fengzhi's face darkened. "You snuck out on your own, and now you're blaming me?"

"Hmph, Dad, do you really think I'm stupid? Could I have run away without your permission?"

Ning Rongrong might have been willful, but she wasn't brain-dead. A level 26 support Soul Master had crossed several kingdoms without encountering the slightest danger.

Nor had she been captured. If no one had been protecting her behind the scenes, that would have been truly strange.

"Besides, weren't you the one who talked me into coming to Shrek Academy?"

"When did I ever—"

"Hmph, Fengzhi, I'll settle things with you after we return." Seeing Sword Douluo's gaze sweep over him, Ning Fengzhi's scalp went numb. "Uncle Sword, we should discuss serious matters now."

"Ahem!" Ning Fengzhi coughed lightly a few times and looked at the Shrek Academy students. "As expected of an academy founded by Flender. Indeed, every student it accepts is a peerless talent."

"You flatter us, Sect Master Ning." Flender finally found a chance to speak. Just now, when Ning Rongrong had complained to her father, cold sweat had seeped across his forehead.

Don't be fooled by how he had used Ning Fengzhi's authority to deal with Ning Rongrong before.

The person before him was Ning Fengzhi's most beloved daughter. If anything truly happened to her, they wouldn't have enough heads to chop off.

"The main reason I came this time was to take Rongrong home, and also..."

Ning Fengzhi thought it over and decided not to poach anyone. He spoke bluntly instead. "Why hasn't the student named Xiao Wu come out?"

"What do you want with Xiao Wu?" Tang San asked warily.

"Hmph, what else could we want?" Sword Douluo had no fear of others knowing and said, "A hundred-thousand-year transformed Soul Beast is wandering around the human world. What do you think we could want?"

The entire area fell silent. The Shrek Academy teachers stared blankly.

"Your Excellency, you... Xiao Wu is a hundred-thousand-year transformed Soul Beast?" Flender's body trembled slightly, and his breathing quickened.

"Do I need to lie to you?" Sword Douluo said. "Come on. If you don't believe me, we'll go take a look together."

"This..."

"Xiao Wu is my little sister, not some transformed Soul Beast." Tang San still did not fully understand what a transformed Soul Beast was, but as long as it was a Soul Beast, it was an object to be hunted by Soul Masters.

Sword Douluo glanced at Tang San, then ignored him. Using his soul power to carry Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong, he flew toward Xiao Wu's dormitory.

"A hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast... it's actually a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast!" Yu Xiaogang murmured, a trace of excitement in his voice as his heart filled with emotion.

As expected of his idol—he had actually raised a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast for Tang San.

Oh no!

Only belatedly realizing the situation, Yu Xiaogang saw Sword Douluo leave and cried out, "Quick, get to the dormitory! Otherwise, someone else will get to Xiao Wu first."

Yu Xiaogang's shocked cry pulled everyone back from their daze. With a rustle, they followed after him and ran toward the dormitory area.

Shrek Academy was not large. Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi soon arrived at the residential area.

Ning Rongrong was still bewildered. Xiao Wu was a hundred-thousand-year transformed Soul Beast?

As the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, her knowledge was far beyond that of ordinary Soul Masters.

She understood the value of a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast better than anyone. She could not help but sigh inwardly.
