The Master's Task

After arranging Xiao Wu's lodging, Tang San immediately set about helping her complete the procedures for enrolling at Shrek Academy.

Although the enrollment assessment day had already passed, academy rules stated that no new students would be admitted at this time.

But rules were dead, while people were alive.

Tang San went straight to Yu Xiaogang, reported Xiao Wu's return, and asked him to seek Headmaster Flender's approval for her enrollment.

Hearing the news, Yu Xiaogang was naturally happy for his good disciple.

After all, with Xiao Wu back, Tang San could finally devote himself wholeheartedly to cultivation from now on.

As for Xiao Wu's enrollment, there was no need to seek out Flender at all.

As Shrek Academy's current "gold-medal teacher," Yu Xiaogang only needed to nod his head for someone to enroll.

After all, Flender had founded this academy to cultivate an elite team capable of entering the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Tournament—and make a hefty profit in Gold Soul Coins in the process.

Yu Xiaogang's duty as a teacher was to help Flender train seven students capable of achieving good results in the tournament.

Before Xiao Wu's arrival, Shrek Academy only had four students whom Yu Xiaogang considered worth training, far short of the seven members required for the tournament's final team competition.

But with Xiao Wu joining, the prospective competition team now had five members. They only needed to find two more.

In short, Xiao Wu's enrollment process received the green light all the way through, and Tang San completed all the formalities without much effort.

By the usual routine, he should have continued his necessary daily cultivation.

But Xiao Wu's return had made him far too happy.

After hesitating for a moment, Tang San decided to use the completed enrollment procedures as an excuse
