"Headmaster!"

At that moment, a voice rang out. Everyone looked over and saw Tang San standing at the door, completely unharmed.

At the sight of him, Flender felt both nervous and uneasy. Had Tang San returned to say goodbye?

"Tang San? Why have you come back? Did Haotian Crown ask you to say good—"

"My father still has matters to attend to, so I'll stay and take care of my teacher!"

Upon hearing this, Flender let out a sigh of relief, and his tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed. Including the newly arrived Yu Tianheng, Shrek Academy still had five students. They needed seven people to participate in the Soul Master Tournament—there was still time!

Thinking of this, Flender suddenly remembered another path he could take: Liu Erlong, the Killing Horn of the Golden Iron Triangle! His Second Dragon Sister!

Flender's eyes lit up as another idea came to him.

Liu Erlong had founded Blue Tyrant Academy, which was also located in Heaven Dou City. Wouldn't it be perfect for him to bring everyone from Shrek and seek refuge with her?

As for treatment, they could "drop by" Heaven Dou Royal Academy and ask Ye Lingling for help.

I really am a genius!

Flender felt that he had gained at least half of Xiaogang's wisdom. Not bad!

"Since that's the case, let me tell you about our next plan."

Flender clapped his hands to get everyone's attention.

"My plan is for us to go to Heaven Dou City first. It probably won't be convenient for us to join Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but as one of the Golden Iron Triangle, Xiaogang and I are known as the Flying Horn and the Wisdom Horn. There's also one more person you've definitely heard of—the Killing Horn, Liu Erlong!"

"The Killing Horn?!"

Ma Hongjun and the others looked shocked. That title sounded so domineering—she had to be an expert, right?

Only Zhao Wuji and the others remained fairly calm. They had heard of the Golden Iron Triangle before, but they knew nothing more about them.

"That's right. This Liu Erlong founded an academy in Heaven Dou City called Blue Tyrant Academy. I want to bring you all there to study."

Adjusting his square-framed glasses, Flender looked at Yu Xiaogang, a complicated emotion flashing through his eyes.

I hope Xiaogang will accept my decision. Shrek Academy isn't considered an official academy, so it has no way to participate in the Soul Master Tournament.

It was not only for everyone at Shrek Academy. Even for Mubai's sake, he had no choice but to make a trip to Heaven Dou City.

However, Zhao Wuji and the others began voicing their concerns.

"Headmaster, are you really willing to give up Shrek Academy after establishing it for so long?"

"I have no choice. I don't consider myself a qualified headmaster, but all this time, I've wanted to do my best to plan for your futures."

Flender smiled bitterly. These teachers had followed him for many years, and they had put in both effort and merit. Yet as the headmaster, he had nothing to give them in return.

They could not even be considered proper teachers, because they had no official positions.

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now. Go back and think it over carefully. Shao Xin, you've worked hard too, so go get some rest. The rest of us should leave as well. Xiao Ao, come take care of them."

Seeing that no one intended to object, Flender finally relaxed. All that remained was to soothe Xiaogang's emotions after he woke up.

"Huh? Headmaster, I was busy for a long time last night too!"

"I'll do it."

Just as Oscar voiced his refusal, Tang San, who had only just arrived, took on the tiring task. He revered his teacher, so it was better for him to personally handle something like caring for him.

"Alright, then Tang San, you do it. Sorry to trouble you. And Hongjun, soak that thing of Mubai's. Don't let it get infected, understand?"

After everyone left, Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang and the others lying motionlessly in bed, his eyes filled with both worry and confusion.

He had not seen any trace of his teacher last night, so why was he still in this condition?

After thinking it over, Tang San still pinned the blame on Yun Tian. It had to have been him. After failing to be killed by his father, he had immediately come back for revenge. His teacher must have fallen victim to him!

Damn Yun Tian, you've become the first name on my kill list!

"Cough, cough!"

Far away, in a carriage heading for Heaven Dou City, Yun Tian suddenly started coughing for no apparent reason.

"Xiaotian, are you alright?!"

"Big Brother Yun Tian, what's wrong?"

Looking at the carriage full of lovely girls, Yun Tian scratched his head. He had no idea what was going on. He was already a Soul King—could he still catch a cold?

Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan sat on either side of him, while Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing sat side by side across from him. The moment he coughed, he drew all their attention. Even Zhu Zhuqing secretly glanced over.

"It must have been Tang Hao! He beat Xiaotian badly enough to give him internal injuries! When I get back, I'll definitely have Grandpa go fight Tang Hao!"

Dugu Bo: Are you being polite?

The Imperial Fighting Team had rented the finest carriages available. Each could seat five or six people, so two carriages were more than enough.

"Sister Dugu Yan, if anyone's going to fight Tang Hao, it should be my Sword Grandpa. What rank is your grandfather, anyway? Where is he off making a fortune?"

"Hmph, what business is it of yours, you little flat-chest!"

"You!"

Ning Rongrong glanced at Dugu Yan's chest, then at her own, and immediately felt anger rise within her. She would definitely keep developing!

Pouting, she turned her head away and stopped speaking. Seeing this, Dugu Yan's eyes flashed with smugness. Such a little thing, and she already wants to compete for a man.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing silently glanced down at herself as well. When she realized she could no longer see her toes, her little face immediately flushed red.

They're all working this hard. If I don't join in, won't I seem out of place?

Unlike the liveliness in this carriage, the other one was much quieter.

"Teacher Qin Ming, what's wrong?"

"Sigh... why do you think Tianheng turned out like this?"

Qin Ming rested his head on one hand, his face full of self-reproach. If he had managed them better, if he had been more capable, would Tianheng not have left?

Besides, although Yu Xiaogang was Tianheng's uncle, his Soul Power was only Rank 29. What could possibly have attracted Tianheng to him?

"Teacher Qin Ming, don't blame yourself. Yu Tianheng must have only been confused for a moment. Maybe he'll come back in a few days?"

Yu Feng softly comforted Qin Ming. They had all seen Yu Tianheng's personality—arrogant and conceited, always acting high and mighty toward those around him.

"I hope so. Once we return to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, I'll first report this matter to the education committee. And what will that person from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan do once he learns of it?"

That was the real concern. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's leader, Yu Yuanzhen, was a Title Douluo, and Yu Tianheng was his grandson. If he learned that Yu Tianheng had withdrawn from Heaven Dou Royal Academy on his own and joined Shrek, wouldn't he come to the academy and cause a huge scene?

This was where the effect of Yun Tian's deleted entry showed itself. From beginning to end, Qin Ming never thought of Shrek Academy. In his heart, Shrek Academy was merely his alma mater, a place worth remembering—nothing more.
