Arrival at Shrek

Of course, Su Ge did not obtain any more spirit bones afterward; after all, such items were far too rare, and the drop rate from non-hundred-thousand-year spirit beasts was simply too low.

Yet, even so, it could not hide the fact that Su Ge's current strength had reached a truly terrifying level!

Even if he were to stand before the gates of Shrek and shout for everyone in Shrek to attack him at once, they would be unable to do anything to him!

Of course, on this trip to Shrek, one had to be wary of a hidden presence.

Su Ge sat up, a look of contemplation flashing in his eyes. Although he knew Tang Hao was currently suffering from severe injuries and his combat power was depleted, and that he generally would not dare to go all out, what if? What if that madman lost his mind and decided to fight him to the death? With his current power, he still could not survive a Ring Detonation.

If they were to fight normally, however, he did not fear Tang Hao. After all, if Tang Hao's body took a few more of his true-damage flying kicks, he would have to call it quits; after all, that was an attack that ignored defense.

Forget it, let the soldiers come and the generals block, let the water come and the earth cover.

He has no reason to attack me anyway. If a fight really breaks out, I can just run and wear him down. In any case, he'll be the first to collapse.

Thinking of this, Su Ge relaxed. He wasn't really here at Shrek to attend school, anyway.

He planned to stay here for a while to see if he could poach a few promising talents and bring them along with his funding to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

As for candidates, Oscar and Ning Rongrong were both excellent in logistics and support, and their talent among support-type spirit masters was sufficiently top-tier.

Moreover, if he had two support masters behind him when he fought in the future, he could let loose and battle without restraint.

As for Ma Hongjun? He was just a seven-spotted ladybug, and he had no interest in dealing with his evil fire problem.

At this moment, Su Ge thought of Zhu Zhuqing, the nominal fiancée of Dai Mubai.

Regarding this little kitten who had traveled thousands of miles to get here, Su Ge actually didn't have much interest. Although she was very hardworking and eager to become stronger, and her figure was excellent, her talent wasn't exactly top-tier. Furthermore, coming from a background of traditional etiquette, she might not necessarily have the resolve to follow him.

Therefore, after weighing his options, he chose to leave it to fate—neither intervening nor refusing.

As for the remaining Tang San, he likely wouldn't leave with him, given Yu Xiaogang's influence, but Xiao Wu should be willing to go. This was one of the reasons why he had come to Shrek first.

Given Tang Hao's temperament, he would never just watch a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast slip through his fingers.

While pondering his subsequent arrangements, Su Ge enjoyed a rare moment of leisure over the next two days.

It was three days later when they once again set foot on the road to Shrek Academy.

At dawn, the three of them left the Rose Hotel where they had stayed for two days and boarded a carriage headed for Shrek Academy.

During this time, they had roughly figured out what kind of place Shrek Academy was, and the evaluations were all rather poor.

Furthermore, because Dai Mubai had not had the chance to stand up and vouch for Shrek at the time, if it hadn't been for Tang San suggesting they take a look, combined with Su Ge's nod, Xiao Wu would have wanted to turn around and leave.

After all, based on the information they had gathered, this Shrek Academy was not a good place to be.

"I don't know why we have to go to that Shrek Academy. What kind of academy is built inside a village?"

As Xiao Wu sat in the carriage, she continued to complain. After all, while she wasn't unable to endure such an environment, who would want to come here?

Was the environment of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy not good enough, or were the conditions of other academies not generous enough?

Su Ge listened to Xiao Wu's complaints while looking out the window. When a small village gradually appeared before his eyes, he finally interrupted her.

"Stop for a moment, I think we've arrived."

As his voice fell, Tang San and Xiao Wu also looked out the window, and sure enough, they discovered a small village.

When the carriage arrived nearby and they stepped down, they finally stood completely before the village.

At the entrance to the village, there was a table, and sitting behind it was an old man over sixty years old. What left Tang San and Xiao Wu dumbfounded was that on the archway made of wood at the village entrance, there hung a tattered plaque.

Su Ge rubbed his chin and then nodded deeply.

Shrek Academy, it was certainly... shabby enough!

The environment here was not even as good as Nuoding Academy!

"Su Ge, look over there!"

Just as Tang San was bitterly smiling while waiting in line, Xiao Wu pointed in a certain direction.

Su Ge and Tang San followed her gaze and discovered the person who was closing his eyes to rest on the side—it was the "Young Master Dai" they had met at the Rose Hotel.

"Truly, enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road. Brother, your defeated opponent is actually in this academy too."

"Now I feel even more that this academy is not a good one."

Xiao Wu's voice was not loud, but she didn't make much of an effort to hide it either, which drew some discussion from those behind them.

The old man sitting behind the table frowned slightly and said to Dai Mubai beside him, "Mubai, go see what's going on back there."

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai didn't waste words. He stood up directly and walked toward the back, his aura gradually becoming oppressive. With a fierce and menacing look, he caused many parents to quiet down.

The crowd also gained a bit more expectation and confidence in this seemingly unimpressive Shrek Academy.

However, as Dai Mubai enjoyed the somewhat awestruck gazes around him and gradually reached the back of the line, he saw some familiar faces, and his pace slowed down.

It wasn't until he saw Su Ge and the others clearly that his footsteps stopped completely.

Because he couldn't be more familiar with these three—weren't these the people who had beaten... who had had a conflict with him a few days ago?!

"Yo, it looks like our Young Master Dai has recovered quite well. You look to be in pretty good spirits?"

"What? Still not convinced, preparing to spar with me again?"

Su Ge naturally saw Dai Mubai walking over. Seeing him stop in his tracks, he teased him, his words full of mockery.

Dai Mubai's chest heaved violently a few times, but in the end, he only gave Su Ge a deep look and walked back without saying a word.

The three of them watched as he said something to the old man, who then looked up at them, nodded, and let Dai Mubai return to his original position.

"I thought he was so brave, turns out this is it?"

"Telling the teacher? Even when Xiao Chenyu was beaten to the point of tears by me, he never thought of telling the teacher. How pathetic!"

Watching this scene, Xiao Wu couldn't help but mock him, expressing her disdain for Dai Mubai's behavior.

"Forget it, no rush. I want to see what kind of tricks they can pull."

Su Ge signaled for Xiao Wu to be patient, then continued to wait quietly, prepared to take on whatever came next.
