Shrek Academy.

The next day, early morning.

Flender sent word early in the morning for Yu Xiaogang to come to his dean's office.

He planned to verify his conjecture about Yang Feng's Martial Soul.

"Judging from Yang Feng's Martial Soul and his current growth, he has indeed surpassed the vast majority of geniuses at the same stage. His growth is simply absurd."

Flender had actually been completely won over by Yang Feng's talent, but as the dean, he still had to maintain a dignified appearance.

"Someone, come here. I need to arrange today's tasks."

The Soul Master in the neighboring office heard the dean's summons and hurriedly got up, heading toward Dean Flender's office.

Knock, knock, knock—

The office door opened in response.

"Dean, were you looking for me?"

A slender woman from the academy, with short hair cut to her ears, slowly walked over to Flender.

She wore two inexpensive earrings on her earlobes. They were small and smooth, glinting with a faint metallic sheen.

Whenever she lowered her head to write, they would make a crisp sound.

Seeing that his secretary had arrived, Flender began assigning her tasks for the day.

He said:

"It's nothing major. Go get Xiaogang today."

"No, call him 'Master' and bring him to my office."

"Tell him I have something I want to discuss with him personally today."

"Also, invite that exceptionally talented young man, Yang Feng, over as well. Be polite, understand?"

"Just don't make any mistakes. That's all."

"All right, go." Flender waved his hand, signaling for her to find the two of them immediately.

After the female secretary left Flender's office, she gently closed the door behind her.

She tried her best not to make even the slightest sound that might disturb the dean inside.

!!!!!

Then, in a fluster, she hurried off to find the academy's "Master" first.

Suddenly, she accidentally twisted her ankle in her high heels and fell to the ground with a thud.

The documents she had sorted in her hands scattered all over the floor.

But worse still, she had forgotten what Flender had just said.

"Wait, what did the dean emphasize just now? Why do I seem to have forgotten?"

"My memory is getting terrible! Am I hitting menopause already?"

"I remember I need to invite Yu Xiaogang to the office, be polite, and address him as 'Master.'"

"And notify the student named Yang Feng to come to the dean's office."

"Mm, that's right. That's exactly it."

After some time, she arrived outside Yu Xiaogang's dormitory.

Knock, knock, knock—

She could hear snoring coming from inside.

Then she remembered the dean's instructions to invite him over.

After a while, Yu Xiaogang recognized her as the female secretary Flender always kept by his side.

"What is it? Does the dean need me for something again today?" Xiaogang asked first.

The female secretary smiled at Yu Xiaogang and said:

"That's right! The dean asked me to come tell you that there's something you care deeply about, and he'd like you to discuss it in his office!"

"Oh, right. I still need to notify the student named Yang Feng."

"I have other business, so I'll be going now! Once I've notified Yang Feng, you can ask me anytime if you have any questions."

Yu Xiaogang looked at the smiling dean's secretary with a grave expression.

Did the sun rise in the west? Could she be interested in me? Yu Xiaogang thought as he grinned foolishly.

Inside the Shrek Academy boys' dormitory.

Yang Feng was still seriously considering what he should do next.

The sound of the female secretary's high heels echoed rhythmically down the hallway, growing closer with a tap, tap, tap.

The door was not closed, so the secretary walked in and said that she was here to take Yang Feng to the dean's office.

She looked thoroughly arrogant.

"Yang Feng! The dean needs to see you today! Hurry up and go!"

"All right, I've delivered the message. If you miss the time, the dean won't wait for you!" With that, she quickly left Yang Feng's dormitory.

Ma Hongjun saw that the secretary's attitude was awful.

"Brother Yang, look at that secretary's attitude. We don't have to go."

"Do we have to do whatever she tells us? Who does she think we are?"

"Aren't we...?"

Ma Hongjun was just about to say that word, but he quickly caught himself and forcibly swallowed it back.

"Brother Yang, does she look like she's inviting someone? I think she's more like a death warrant."

Yang Feng smiled after hearing that. "Mm, there should be something important going on at the academy. I'll go take a look first."

After leaving the dormitory, Yang Feng also wanted to see what new tricks that old man Flender could come up with.

Inside the dean's office.

Flender wondered why Yang Feng still had not arrived after so long.

Could the female secretary have forgotten to notify him?

Just as he was thinking about Yang Feng, the ill-mannered secretary pointed him toward the office and told him to go in.

Both of them had been called to the dean's office.

The dean looked troubled as he stared at the Soul Master who had bungled the task.

"You, look at what you've done."

"You've ruined the most important matter of the day!"

Then, suppressing his emotions, he said:

"Your salary and bonus for this month are all withheld. You have nothing else to do today, so go back."

Seeing the dean's expression, the female secretary replied:

"Yes, Dean. It won't happen again."

She turned and quickly left the place that made her uncomfortable.

Flender then turned back around and smiled at the master and disciple.

"Yang Feng, that was all just a misunderstanding. Don't take it to heart."

"I called you here because I wanted to ask whether you would be willing to become my disciple."

Yu Xiaogang became furious when he heard Flender's words.

"You've gone too far! Yang Feng is my disciple."

"You called me here so politely today just to talk about this?"

"If that's the case, then I certainly won't agree."

Flender made no attempt to hide his intention to poach someone in public, whether through his expression or his words.

That alone was what angered Yu Xiaogang the most.

If not for the sake of his dignity, Yu Xiaogang would have loved to use his Martial Soul, Luo Sanpao, to blast Flender straight into the sky with a fart.

The two began arguing fiercely, giving Yang Feng a terrible headache.

Yang Feng looked at the man before him, who was currently the dean of Shrek Academy, and then at Yu Xiaogang, the master who had guided him at Nuoding Academy.

The way they argued made them seem like people back on Blue Star fighting over custody rights.

He quickly left Flender's office, intending to find somewhere quiet.

He also wanted to learn more about the strength of the other team members' Soul Power and Martial Souls.

Then he could make a comprehensive assessment of the team's current combat strength.
