Blue Tyrant Academy (4) (Revised)

"Wait, Crown Prince..." Things had unfolded far too quickly. From happily getting into the carriage with Xue Qinghe, the Heaven Dou Crown Prince, to the two Black Robe Guards making their move, to Xiao Wu's identity being exposed, less than three minutes had passed. Flender and the others had only just recovered from one earth-shattering revelation after another when Xiao Wu was about to be sentenced to death by this youth who seemed like a god or demon. They were like drowning people, helplessly struggling—each time they saw the faintest glimmer of hope, it was snuffed out in an instant. Thus, before Flender could speak, Yu Xiaogang, whose mind turned faster than the others', spoke first. "And this young man..."

Qian Renxue knew exactly what sort of person her mother's first love was.

She also knew that this so-called Grandmaster stood in opposition to Ye Qingcang.

So, with a raised hand, she stopped Yu Xiaogang and warned, "Wait. Before you speak, think carefully. The one you are pleading for is not a Soul Master, but a 100,000 Year Soul Beast. This 100,000 Year Soul Beast has merely taken human form; her essence is not human. The last Soul Master who dared defy the world was Tang Hao. Even though he became a Titled Douluo and was the biological son of the previous Clear Sky Sect master and the younger brother of its current master, he still ended up living under an assumed name. Before speaking, think about the consequences of your words. If you do not believe you can bear those consequences, it would be best not to speak. This is my advice to all of you. You may take it under consideration and as a warning, or you may reject this insignificant suggestion."

Yu Xiaogang hesitantly closed his mouth.

Flender and the others' expressions also shifted slightly.

More than ten years ago, the matter of the Spirit Hall Pope being killed by Tang Hao had caused an enormous uproar. Anyone who had spent time in the Soul Master world had heard of it.

Even the Clear Sky Sect, leader of the Three Upper Sects, had been forced to seal its gates because of that incident.

What right did ants like them, who were far inferior to Tang Hao, have to protect another 100,000-Year Transformed Spirit Beast before the Heaven Dou Crown Prince?

There was no way to answer that.

Answering meant death.

They could only remain silent!

However, Yu Xiaogang fell silent, and Flender and the others did as well, but that did not mean no one in the carriage still dared to speak!

"Senior Brother, there may be some misunderstanding here..." Others might fear Xue Qinghe, but Ning Rongrong did not. Even a single Dugu Bo was enough for Xue Ye to treat with courtesy; the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, which had Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, was not something even Xue Ye dared slight. "Could it be that this friend simply made a mistake? He said it himself just now—he is only Rank 40. As everyone knows, the true form of a 100,000-Year Transformed Spirit Beast can only be seen through by a Titled Douluo. Isn't it too hasty to reach such a conclusion? Does that not go against your original intention in inviting us aboard, giving us a ride, and taking us to Blue Tyrant Academy?"

Ning Rongrong keenly noticed that the youth who seemed like a god or demon glanced at her. Yet strangely, if her intuition was correct, there was no hostility in that glance—only surprise.

Then, the youth who seemed like a god or demon withdrew his gaze. Continuing his game of chess, he asked the Heaven Dou Crown Prince, "Are you willing to give your junior sister some face?"

"She is your junior sister, after all."

"Since she has put it that way, I cannot deny her all face, can I?"

"Otherwise, when we get to Teacher's place, I will have no face to explain myself."

Qian Renxue waved her hand. Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo, both wearing Golden Masks, promptly released their hold and retreated to either side of the carriage. "Besides, they are all going to apply at Blue Tyrant Academy. If they get in, this Little Rabbit will count as your junior sister too. Consider it giving your future junior brothers and sisters some face. Don't kill her, all right?"

Upon hearing this, the Shrek group immediately realized the youth's identity. Yet before they could ask, the youth clearly rejected them.

"No. I am only giving you face."

"And you said it yourself—they are future junior brothers and sisters."

"The future can wait until the future. I only look at the present."

"Right now, let me tell you the truth: if they really enter Blue Tyrant Academy, even conservatively speaking, I will lose at least ten years of my life!"

"Ordinarily, since your friend spoke up, I would not make things difficult for you. But Blue Tyrant Academy is not some shelter for troublemakers. There are only a dozen or so people here, and more than half of them are trouble."

Ye Qingcang named them one by one, his tone utterly blunt:

"Yu Xiaogang, known as the Grandmaster. He keeps wavering between the current Pope, Bibidong, and my mother, Liu Erlong. If he has even a shred of shame, after hearing what I have said, he will not insist on joining Blue Tyrant Academy."

"Tang San, Tang Hao's son. That title alone is troublesome enough, not to mention that he has a father who blindly protects his child regardless of the facts."

"Xiao Wu, a 100,000-Year Soul Beast in human form. You know Blue Tyrant Academy's rules. One of its rules is that all responsibility is borne by the academy. If she enters Blue Tyrant Academy, she will be safe, but Blue Tyrant Academy will have to stand in front of this enormous problem as her shield. Even then, she will not be of one heart with Blue Tyrant Academy, because she only recognizes herself as one of the Shrek Seven Devils. So long as the Shrek Seven Devils do not disband, Blue Tyrant Academy can only be the sucker."

"Dai Mubai, prince of the Star Luo Empire. No matter how handsome and carefree he looks on the outside, his heart is just as black as anyone else's. Desire is endless. Right now, he only wants to survive. Once he truly can, he will start thinking about how to defeat his brother, Dai Weisi. For that goal, he can drag Blue Tyrant Academy into the mire of war without a shred of guilt. After all, Blue Tyrant Academy is not his."

"Ma Hongjun, something that cannot control what is below his belt. He calls himself a phoenix, but he is nothing but shit. If a proud phoenix could take a fancy to something that visits brothels, that phoenix would not merely be blind—it would probably have brain damage too."

"Do not use evil fire as an excuse. He has not understood what evil fire truly is. The evil fire is a trial bestowed upon him by the pure phoenix bloodline within his Martial Soul. The phoenix is one of the noblest divine beasts in heaven and earth. That nobility is reflected not only in their power, but even more so in their state of mind. How much courage does rebirth through fire require? No one understands that better than they do at the moment they dive into the flames."

"A fool who yields to evil fire, vents it by indulging his lust, and thinks everything will be fine once he has released it is simply giving up on himself. His limit in this life will be no higher than this. A true phoenix, no matter how great the torment it endures, will never yield—not even when evil fire burns through its body. Only then can it temper stronger meridians and a stronger body through the repeated agony of evil fire burning its flesh, forge an unyielding will, earn the recognition of its phoenix bloodline, master evil fire, and nurture the yang-aligned true flame from the yin-aligned evil fire. Only then can it command both Phoenix Evil Fire and Phoenix True Flame, elevating its Martial Soul into the Fire Phoenix, which controls the strongest flames in the world."

"Those five are major problems."

"I have not even mentioned the minor problems."

"For example, accepting Zhu Zhuqing means facing pressure from the Duke Zhu Family Estate. Accepting Ning Rongrong means facing an investigation by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Accepting Zhao Wuji means making an enemy of the Elephant Armor Sect..."

"Among them, Oscar is the only one who catches my eye. If he is willing to join Blue Tyrant Academy, he is very welcome."

"Blue Tyrant Academy is an academy that only recruits Commoner Soul Masters. It has many rules, but they can truly be summed up in one sentence: the strong are respected!"

"Besides that, there is another special admissions rule: if a Soul Master not born a commoner wishes to study at Blue Tyrant Academy, they must either abandon their identity or abide by the rule that the strong are respected. If they defeat one of the Heaven Ranking students, they may become a Blue Tyrant Academy student without giving up their identity."

"I gave you face because you are my friend."

"You gave Ning Rongrong face because she is your junior sister."

"Not every stray cat or dog is worthy of making me give them face!"

By the way, is anyone reading this?
