Grandmaster: Can This Immortal Su Really Teach Better Than Me?

"This is too much, absolutely too much!"

"Those damn bastards, fine if they didn't come save us, but they actually cursed me to death!"

"I'm going to settle the score with them!"

In a corner of Shrek Academy stood two wooden boards. Behind them lay some of Xiao Wu's clothes, while the boards bore the words: [Memorial Tomb for Student Xiao Wu's Clothes]

She had only just returned to see such an ill-omened thing.

Xiao Wu was instantly furious, kicking the boards in half with one foot as she prepared to raise hell at Shrek Academy.

Hearing the commotion, Zhao Wuji and the others thought someone had come to cause trouble and hurried out to inspect the situation. When they saw Xiao Wu and Tang San, their expressions were filled with astonishment.

"Xiao Wu, you're actually still alive?!"

"Of course I'm alive! Even if all of you died, I still wouldn't!"

At those words, Xiao Wu felt like her lungs were about to burst with rage.

But at that moment, a middle-aged man with short, flat-cut hair slowly entered through Shrek's gates. Standing with his hands behind his back, he looked at Xiao Wu, who was arguing with Zhao Wuji and the others, then at Tang San's solemn expression, and called out calmly.

"Xiao San, what happened?"

Tang San turned around. Seeing the newcomer, his eyes held a trace of delight, followed by a touch of gloom.

"Teacher, why are you here?"

"What, is your teacher not welcome?"

An hour later.

At Shrek Academy's crude campus square.

After Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang listened to Tang San, Zhao Wuji, and the others recount the recent events, his brow furrowed tightly as he spoke in a low voice.

"So you're saying that Xiao Wu and Xiao San were attacked by the Forest King, the Titan Giant Ape, and then you abandoned them and came back alone?"

"Flender, he is my only student. If anything had truly happened to him, I would never forgive you for the rest of my life!"

"Xiao San, let's go. There's no need to stay at Shrek Academy!"

Yu Xiaogang said angrily, grabbing Tang San to leave.

Zhao Wuji hurriedly spoke up at that moment.

"Grandmaster, you have to understand us too. I know Xiao San's strength. He definitely would have been fine, but Xiao Wu was taken by the Forest King. We simply had no way to rescue her."

Zhao Wuji muttered inwardly.

Xiao San clearly has Haotian Douluo backing him. Last time, I only hit him a little too hard during the entrance test, and Haotian Douluo came to beat me up viciously. When we encountered the Titan Giant Ape in the Star Dou Forest, he didn't come save anyone. What was I supposed to do?

Flender soothed Yu Xiaogang.

"Xiao Gang, you're widely experienced and deeply versed in theory. You should know the Titan Giant Ape's strength. Old Zhao and I may both be Soul Saints, but before the Titan Giant Ape, we are nothing. Going to rescue them would only have meant dying for nothing."

"Shrek is currently lacking a theoretical master to help manage the academy and train the students. Xiao Gang, stay and help me. Don't leave. Shrek Academy needs you."

Upon hearing Flender's words.

Grandmaster found them rather agreeable, and his furious expression gradually eased.

"You have a point. As far as I know, the Forest King, the Titan Giant Ape, is no weaker than a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Even Titled Douluo would not dare contend against it."

"Xiao San, Xiao Wu, Flender and Zhao Wuji cannot be blamed entirely for this matter."

Hearing that, Flender let out a breath of relief.

"That's right. Fortunately, it was a false alarm. Xiao San and Xiao Wu both returned safely."

"Xiao Gang, with you here, I can rest easy."

Flender smiled.

"Xiao Gang, you don't know this, but there's recently been a place in Suotuo City called Immortal Mountain. Its teaching quality is quite good, and its teachers are very charismatic, almost as good as me. Shrek's student recruitment has become worse than ever."

"Besides, Old Zhao and Shrek's students have all suffered at Immortal Mountain."

"Now that you're here, you can definitely teach Shrek's little monsters into even greater monsters, hold our heads high, and suppress Immortal Mountain's momentum!"

"Tch, how ridiculous." Xiao Wu snorted disdainfully.

They were nowhere near as good as Immortal Mountain. When it mattered, the ones willing to save Third Brother and help find her had been people from Immortal Mountain!

Tang San, who had been observing the situation all along, spoke up as well.

"Speaking of Immortal Mountain, there's something I want to tell Headmaster Flender and Teacher."

"This time, I was able to find Xiao Wu and return safely thanks to Immortal Su's guidance. So I also promised to work at Immortal Mountain in the future. I may not have time to follow the academy's training schedule anymore."

"What?"

Flender and Zhao Wuji both looked somewhat surprised.

Zhao Wuji muttered inwardly. I thought Haotian Douluo had saved them. How could it have been Immortal Su?

But the one whose emotions fluctuated the most was undoubtedly Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang.

Grandmaster took a deep breath and said.

"Xiao San, you are at a crucial stage of cultivation. I came to Shrek to teach you better. If you say now that you have no time to cooperate with your training, it will delay your future."

"I'll go speak with that Immortal Su. He helped you, and we should thank him, but there are many ways to express gratitude. You do not necessarily need to work for them to repay him."

Grandmaster flicked his sleeve and headed toward the academy's exit.

"Xiao San, lead the way."

"Teacher, I've already signed a contract with Immortal Su. I can't change it. Besides, Immortal Mountain's teaching is quite special. If I work there, perhaps I can learn quite a few things too. It may not necessarily affect my cultivation."

Tang San felt warm inside at Yu Xiaogang's concern. Having lacked affection since childhood, he felt a fatherly love as steadfast as a mountain.

But how could he go back on something he had already promised?

"Nonsense!"

"No matter how good this Immortal Su's teaching is, could it possibly be better than the training plan I prepared for you?"

Yu Xiaogang said indignantly.

Does this child Xiao San even know how enormous his potential is?

Innate Full Soul Power.

Twin Martial Souls, and one of them was the continent's number one tool Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer.

His father was Haotian Douluo.

He also possessed a rare talent for forging.

Such a student was the hope of my remaining years as a Soul Master with a useless Martial Soul. How could he waste himself somewhere else?

"Um, Grandmaster, I think Immortal Mountain's teaching should be better than yours."

At the mention of teaching, Xiao Wu could not help raising her hand slightly.

"Xiao Wu, shh." Tang San tugged at Xiao Wu's sleeve, signaling for her not to say any more.

Xiao Wu had a straightforward personality, so she had often angered Grandmaster back at Nuoding Academy.

But that was genuinely what Xiao Wu believed.

She had watched Third Brother study under Grandmaster for six years, but aside from some basic Soul Master knowledge and Soul Beast information, it seemed Grandmaster had not taught him anything that could truly improve his strength.

Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong had studied at Immortal Mountain for only a few months, yet her strength had already advanced by leaps and bounds.

Her words and gaze stung Yu Xiaogang.

"In that case, I have even more reason to visit Immortal Mountain."

"I have painstakingly researched Soul Master theory and cultivation for decades."

"I refuse to believe that this Immortal Su's ability to teach Soul Masters can be stronger than mine."

Yu Xiaogang's voice carried both anger and confidence.
