Blue Tyrant Academy (4) (Revised)

Blue Tyrant Academy (4) (Revised)

"Wait, Crown Prince..." Events had unfolded too quickly. From happily following Xue Qinghe, the Heaven Dou Crown Prince, into the carriage, to the two black-robed guards making their move, to Xiao Wu's identity being exposed—it had all taken less than three minutes. 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 godlike, demonlike youth. It was like a drowning person struggling helplessly, seeing a sliver of hope each time only for it to be snuffed out in an instant. Thus, before Flender could speak, Yu Xiaogang, whose mind worked faster than the others', spoke first. "And this young man..."

Qian Renxue knew exactly what kind 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 Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. This Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast merely transformed into 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, was the biological son of the previous Clear Sky Sect leader and the younger brother of the current leader, he still ended up forced to conceal his name and live in hiding. Before speaking, consider the consequences of your words. If you believe you lack the ability to bear those consequences, it would be best not to speak. This is my advice to all of you. You may take it as a warning, or you may reject this insignificant suggestion."

Yu Xiaogang hesitantly closed his mouth.

Flender and the others' expressions also changed slightly.

More than ten years ago, the matter of the Spirit Hall Pope being killed by Tang Hao had caused a tremendous uproar. Anyone who had spent time in the soul master world had heard of it.

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

They were ants, far inferior to Tang Hao. What right did they have to protect another 100,000-Year Transformed Soul 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's silence and Flender's group's silence did not mean there was no one in the carriage who dared to speak!

"Senior Brother, perhaps there's some misunderstanding..." Others might fear Xue Qinghe, but Ning Rongrong did not. Even a single Dugu Bo was enough to make Xue Ye treat him with courtesy. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, with Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo under its command, was not something even Xue Ye dared slight. "Could it be that this friend has made a mistake? He said it himself just now—he's only Rank 40. Everyone knows that only Titled Douluo can see through the true form of a 100,000-Year Transformed Soul Beast. Isn't it too hasty to reach such a conclusion? Would that not go against your original intention in inviting us into the carriage, giving us a ride, and taking us to Blue Tyrant Academy?"

Ning Rongrong keenly noticed that the godlike, demonlike youth glanced at her. Yet strangely, if her instincts were right, there was no hostility in that glance—only surprise.

Then, the godlike, demonlike youth withdrew his gaze and continued playing chess as he asked the Heaven Dou Empire's Crown Prince, "Are you willing to give your junior sister some face?"

"She is your junior sister, after all."

"Since she has said so much, I can't refuse her entirely, can I?"

"Otherwise, when we get to Teacher, I won't be able to explain myself either."

Qian Renxue waved her hand. Snake Lance Douluo and Spiny Porpoise Douluo, both wearing Golden Masks, promptly released their hold and retreated to either side of the carriage. "Besides, they're 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 instantly realized the youth's identity. But before they could ask, he clearly rejected them.

"No. I'm only giving you face."

"And you said it yourself—they're future students."

"We'll talk about the future when it comes. 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'll lose at least ten years of my life!"

"Normally, since your friend has spoken, I wouldn't 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, with not a trace of politeness in his tone:

"Yu Xiaogang, known as the Grandmaster, has wavered repeatedly between the current Pope Bibi Dong and my mother, Liu Erlong. If he has even a shred of shame, after hearing what I've said, he won't 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 own child regardless of the facts."

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

"Dai Mubai, prince of the Star Luo Empire. Don't be fooled by how handsome and dashing he looks—their hearts are all equally dark. Desire is endless. Right now, he only wants to survive. Once he truly can, he'll 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 isn't his."

"Ma Hongjun, a thing that can't control his lower half. He calls himself a phoenix, but he's actually nothing but crap. If a proud phoenix could take a fancy to something that visits brothels, then that phoenix is probably not only blind, but mentally deranged too."

"Don't use evil fire as an excuse. He doesn't understand 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 the noblest divine beast in heaven and earth. Its nobility is reflected not only in its power, but even more in its state of mind. How much courage does rebirth through flames require? No one understands better than those who dive into the fire at that very moment."

"A fool who yields to evil fire, vents it by wasting his energy, and believes that everything will be fine once he has released it is merely giving up on himself. His limit in this life will be no more than that. A true phoenix, no matter how much torment it endures, will never yield—even if evil fire burns through its body. Only then can it temper stronger meridians and flesh through the agony of being scorched by evil fire time and again, forge an unyielding will, gain the phoenix bloodline's recognition, master evil fire, and nurture true flame, which represents yang, from evil fire, which represents yin. Only by wielding both Phoenix Evil Fire and Phoenix True Flame can one elevate one's martial soul into a Fire Phoenix that commands the strongest flames in the world."

"Those five are major problems."

"I haven't even mentioned the minor ones."

"For example, accepting Zhu Zhuqing means facing pressure from the Zhu Family's Duke's Mansion. Accepting Ning Rongrong means facing an investigation from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Accepting Zhao Wuji means becoming enemies with 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!"

"Beyond 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 follow the rule that the strong are respected. Defeat one of the Heavenly Ranking students, and you may become a Blue Tyrant Academy student without abandoning your identity."

"I'm giving you face because you are my friend."

"You're giving Ning Rongrong face because she is your junior sister."

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

By the way, is anyone reading this?
