Blue Tyrant Academy (5) (Revised)

Blue Tyrant Academy (5) (Revised)

Ye Qingcang's words had been harsh—extremely harsh.

It was practically like stepping on the faces of the Shrek group and slapping them.

Yet the amount of information in his words had been unprecedentedly weighty as well.

The Shrek group wore varied expressions and cried out in surprise.

"Your mother is Erlong?" Yu Xiaogang and Flender asked in unison. From their expressions, it was clear that Yu Xiaogang's shock carried a trace of resentment, while Flender's shock was mixed with nostalgia.

Compared to Yu Xiaogang and Flender, the Shrek Seven Devils whom Ye Qingcang had critiqued had far less patience. Aside from Xiao Wu, the little rabbit who did not dare bristle, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, who had nothing to say since his comments were neither praise nor criticism, and Oscar, who had been singled out for praise and looked helplessly at the brothers being scolded—his sense of loyalty made him want to deny Ye Qingcang's praise, but after thinking it over, he could not find any point to refute.

The man was telling the truth. How could he deny it?

Besides, Ye Qingcang had not been sowing discord.

Leaving aside everything else, just the issue with Ma Hongjun was something even he, one of their own, had to admit was correct. How could he refute that?

But for those with problems, they would not accept such truths.

Those who could accept them would have done so long ago.

And they would have corrected themselves long ago.

Those who could not accept them never would.

The truth would only anger them.

Just like now, as they clamored all at once.

"You don't have a Phoenix Martial Soul..." Ma Hongjun deliberately put on an unconcerned look, but his reply still exposed his guilty conscience. "It's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering. Do you know how hard it is to endure when the Evil Fire flares up?"

"Fatty's right..." Dai Mubai sneered as he cracked his knuckles. "All I see is a clown spouting nonsense here. You say we're no good—who the hell are you? You think you're so great?"

Compared to those two, Tang San was far more composed. Though he was angry as well, he did not directly lash out at Ye Qingcang. Instead, he assumed a lofty posture, even though he had already handed down a verdict of you have courted death for this man in his heart. "Brother, perhaps you misunderstand me. I never knew my father was the Clear Sky Douluo. There are far too many people in this world with the same names. My father is not someone who blindly protects his child, much less someone who does so without regard for the facts. I, Tang San, have come this far through my own unceasing efforts, not by relying on my father's protection to throw my weight around."

However, when Tang San's lofty posture was compared with Ye Qingcang's, the emptiness beneath Tang San's facade became obvious.

Tang San's lofty posture was one of explanation and preaching.

Ye Qingcang's lofty posture was: Say whatever you want. I'll let it go in one ear and out the other.

I already treat you as air.

Whatever you say is nothing but air.

Qian Renxue could not interfere with Ye Qingcang's assessment of the Shrek group. But if the Shrek group wanted to refute or mock Ye Qingcang, then she had something to say!

Besides, Ye Qingcang had already considered her a friend. As his friend, she could not truly sit by and do nothing, could she?

She casually placed a chess piece down, pausing the game.

She coughed to signal that she wished to speak, only to find the Shrek group still chattering noisily. Her brows furrowed, and her gaze gradually turned unfriendly.

Fortunately, Flender noticed this.

He hurriedly rebuked them a few times.

Only then did Ma Hongjun, who had been shouting the loudest, close his mouth.

Once Ma Hongjun shut up, Dai Mubai came to his senses as well.

He hurriedly closed his mouth.

The carriage instantly fell silent.

The contrast before and after was unsettling.

Seeing this, Qian Renxue magnanimously chose not to pursue the matter. As for whether she had already sentenced these people to death in her heart, perhaps only she herself knew. Meeting the Shrek group's gazes, she added a belated introduction.

"Let me introduce him to you."

"This is Ye Qingcang, my friend."

"He is number one on the Blue Tyrant Academy's Heavenly Ranking, and he is also the son of Blue Tyrant Academy's dean."

"Blue Tyrant Academy is indeed as he said. It only recruits commoner Soul Masters."

"The enrollment age range is from twelve to eighteen."

"There are twelve terms in total, amounting to six years."

"Blue Tyrant Academy has the lowest Soul Power Level requirements for enrollment among all Advanced Soul Master Academies on the continent. If you apply at age twelve, you only need to possess level ten Soul Power. The requirement rises by five Soul Power Levels every year. In other words, if you apply at thirteen, you need level fifteen Soul Power; if you apply at fourteen, you need level twenty Soul Power; and so on until age eighteen, when the requirement is level forty Soul Power. Those over eighteen will not be admitted. If they still wish to enter Blue Tyrant Academy, they can only apply through recruitment."

"Blue Tyrant Academy has more than seven thousand students. Over three thousand have already graduated, while more than four thousand are still studying at Blue Tyrant Academy. In addition, it has over one thousand teachers and more than three thousand staff members outside the teaching faculty. It has seventeen branch academies throughout the Heaven Dou Empire, but only the main academy in Heaven Dou City is an Advanced Soul Master Academy. All the rest are Intermediate Soul Master Academies. It is the largest academy in the entire Heaven Dou Empire."

"In terms of land area, Blue Tyrant Academy's main academy is also the largest Advanced Soul Master Academy on the continent. Its campus in Heaven Dou City covers more than eight thousand hectares, including five thousand hectares of forest and around three thousand hectares of building grounds. It occupies nearly one three-hundredth of Heaven Dou City's total area."

"Blue Tyrant Academy has the Heavenly, Earth, and Human Rankings."

"Fifty places on the Heavenly Ranking, fifty on the Earth Ranking, and fifty on the Human Ranking."

"Status, position, and benefits are all determined by strength."

"The Human Ranking is limited to students aged twelve to fourteen, the Earth Ranking to students aged twelve to sixteen, and the Heavenly Ranking to students aged twelve to eighteen. If you are strong enough, you can claim the top of the Heavenly Ranking at twelve, just like Ye Qingcang—Brother Ye—beside me."

"He is only fifteen this year."

"Yet he has held the top position on the Heavenly Ranking for three years."

"As for the special admissions rule mentioned earlier, it is a permitted back door for geniuses whose backgrounds do not qualify, who are unwilling to give up their identities, but still wish to enter Blue Tyrant Academy—defeat any one of the fifty students on the Heavenly Ranking, and you will gain the qualifications to enter Blue Tyrant Academy without abandoning your identity."

"Blue Tyrant Academy is an academy where the strong are respected."

"If you are strong, your words carry reason."

"The rules you establish become iron laws."

"If you are weak, then grow honestly."

"Therefore, Ye Qingcang—Brother Ye—beside me is number one on Blue Tyrant Academy's Heavenly Ranking. In Blue Tyrant Academy, where strength determines status, he is the strongest student. He truly has the right to refuse your admission and even the right to alter the academy rules, unless you can find a student stronger than him and make him lose his position as number one on the Heavenly Ranking."

Qian Renxue's concise introduction brought the Shrek group to a sudden realization.

Put simply, the capable rose while the incompetent fell.

Ye Qingcang was Blue Tyrant Academy's strongest student.

Therefore, no student dared disobey what he said.

"What if we defeat him?" Dai Mubai sneered. "Does that mean we can expel him from Blue Tyrant Academy?"

The atmosphere in the carriage turned tense once more.

Qin Ming seemed to have remembered something. His expression gradually became terrified as he looked at Ye Qingcang. Turning to Dai Mubai, who had no idea of the immensity of heaven and earth, he was just about to tell Dai Mubai to take back his words when Ye Qingcang answered him first.

"You can..." Ye Qingcang looked back, his black pupils as deep as black holes. Under Qin Ming's despairing gaze, he gave the Shrek group an even more precise answer. "If you can defeat me, then of course you can expel me from Blue Tyrant Academy. Even if you send someone to kill me after expelling me, that would be no problem. The prerequisite is that you can defeat me—that you are stronger than me!"
