Heaven Dou Royal Academy

After Lan Yu broke through level 60 and successfully absorbed his sixth ring Soul Ring, allowing the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass to regrow beside the ice spring, he left the Ice and Fire Dual Yii Well and headed for Heaven Dou City.

By coincidence, Shrek Academy arrived in Heaven Dou City around the same time and made their way to Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Although the plot had changed drastically, the conflict between Shrek Academy and Prince Xue Beng still occurred.

And it was Dai Mubai who stepped in and taught Xue Beng a lesson.

Lan Yu had already arrived at Dugu Bo's residence. Upon seeing him, Dugu Bo immediately welcomed him warmly.

"Lord Sage, you've finally come. Did you break through?"

"Yes, I've reached level 60. Let's get down to business. Have you persuaded Dugu Yan?"

"This... sigh, my granddaughter is rather stubborn. She's even unwilling to listen to me now."

"You spoiled her. Does she not believe that she has Spirit Poison in her body, or does she not believe in the Sage Lord of Fungi?"

"This... probably the latter?"

"Even after such a huge change happened to you, she still doesn't believe it?"

"It's precisely because I've changed so much that the girl even suspects I'm not her grandfather."

"And you could put up with that? Why didn't you give her a proper lesson?"

"She is my granddaughter, after all. I just can't bring myself to do it."

"Then what have you decided? Will you indulge her temperament and give up this opportunity? The Sage Lord of Fungi is merciful, but he isn't some indiscriminate do-gooder."

"No! This time, I absolutely won't indulge her anymore. Even if she hates me now, she'll understand later that I'm doing this for her own good."

"Where is she now?"

"She's at Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

"She's with Yu Tianheng. Won't she think you've been deceived and ask Yu Tianheng for help?

Come to think of it, since you allowed them to be together, have you already figured out how to handle your relationship with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"

"Before, I didn't know how much longer I could live, so I never thought that far ahead. As long as Yan Yan was happy, that was enough.

But now, it seems Yu Tianheng is not a good match for Yan Yan at all.

If she married into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, given how domineering they are, there's no way they would allow Yan Yan's child to bear the Dugu surname."

"I won't meddle too much in your family affairs, but I hope you can handle them properly."

"I understand. I'll go find Yan Yan and have another good talk with her."

At that moment, someone came to report that Prince Xuexing had invited him over.

When Lan Yu learned that Prince Xuexing had invited Dugu Bo to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, he thought of that scene from the plot.

Since he had happened upon it, he might as well go take a look.

Lan Yu and Dugu Bo arrived at Heaven Dou Royal Academy and met up with Prince Xuexing.

"Your Excellency Dugu, this is..."

"This is my young friend Lan Yu, a friend despite our age difference."

"Lan Yu! Could you be the one who defeated the Imperial Team?"

"Oh, has my reputation already reached Heaven Dou City?"

"Hehe, so it really is you. A true hero in his youth!"

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, their group headed directly toward the Education Committee Office.

By then, the three Education Committees of Heaven Dou Royal Academy had essentially finalized the arrangements for Shrek Academy to join them.

Yu Xiaogang and Flender were also delighted. They wanted to use this Soul Master Tournament as an opportunity to make the Shrek Team famous.

After the Soul Master Tournament ended, they would leave Heaven Dou Royal Academy and rebuild Shrek Academy. By then, Shrek Academy would surely flourish.

This was the plan Yu Xiaogang and Flender had previously devised: Borrowing a chicken to lay an egg.

Just then, Prince Xuexing, Dugu Bo, Lan Yu, and Prince Xue Beng barged in.

Dugu Bo had concealed his aura at the moment, so Flender and the others could not tell that he was a Title Douluo.

Tang San, meanwhile, noticed Lan Yu and found it strange that he was here.

However, the people from Shrek Academy knew these visitors had come to cause trouble the moment they saw Prince Xue Beng. The agreement they had just reached might fall through.

"Chief Meng Shenji, you have guests? Aren't you going to introduce them to me?"

"Your Highness, allow me to introduce them. This is Flender, the headmaster of Shrek Academy. He is here today to discuss a possible partnership with us."

"A partnership? Hehe, interesting. Never mind this so-called Shrek Academy, which I've never even heard of. For such a major matter as cooperation, what do you mean by bypassing me, the actual administrator of Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

"Your Highness, the academy's internal affairs have always been managed by the three of us. Once this matter was settled, we naturally would have reported it to you."

"Forget the report. I don't think they are suitable to join Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Have them leave."

"Your Highness, that would be inappropriate, wouldn't it?"

"Inappropriate? Never mind that they injured Xue Beng the moment they arrived at the academy. Given his identity, if he joins Heaven Dou Royal Academy, are you trying to provoke conflict between the two great empires?

May I ask, can the three Education Committees bear the consequences of such a matter?"

Lan Yu was quite surprised to see this. Prince Xuexing was much smarter than in the original plot; he even knew Dai Mubai's identity.

"May I ask, Your Highness, does this student have some special identity?"

"Let him tell you himself. If I chose to make a big issue out of it, then just for injuring Xue Beng, I could lodge a formal protest with the Star Luo Empire."

Dai Mubai clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, his face filled with resentment.

Lan Yu shook his head and thought, *Now you feel like you're being targeted and wronged. Why didn't you think about how arrogant you were when you beat up Xue Beng?

Xue Beng may not be a good person, but he's the local power.

The strongest person in Shrek Academy is only a seven-ring soul saint. What were you thinking, provoking a prince in the imperial capital?

The two great empires of Douluo Continent might not mean much before a Title Douluo, but they aren't something a Soul Saint can afford to provoke.*

At this point, all three Education Committees turned their gazes toward Dai Mubai.

"That's right. I am the third prince of the Star Luo Empire."

"Headmaster Flender, why didn't you tell me about this?"

"This..."

Could Flender say that he had not known either? Obviously not. He could only stand there awkwardly.

Prince Xuexing spoke again. "If you people truly have the strength to make Heaven Dou Royal Academy make an exception, then I'll accept it.

This is Your Excellency Dugu. As long as you can last five minutes under him, I will accept you into Heaven Dou Royal Academy and grant you even greater authority."

As he spoke, Dugu Bo revealed his nine Soul Rings—two yellow, two purple, and five black—and the aura of a Title Douluo pressed down upon the people of Shrek Academy.

The people of Shrek Academy did not even dare to move.

Yu Xiaogang said at that moment, "Flender, let's go!"

Yu Xiaogang and Flender led the people of Shrek Academy out of the Education Committee Office. Only then did Dugu Bo withdraw his aura.

Prince Xuexing then looked at the three Education Committees. "I know you cherish talent, but don't forget that this is Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
