Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang had been very busy these past few days.
While Tang San recovered from his injuries, the qualifiers continued. Qin Ming led the team through several matches against weak, low-ranking opponents, and Heaven Dou Royal Academy won with ease.
Yu Xiaogang had not been reinstated as team leader, yet he often wandered around the academy under the banner of "Tang San's teacher," offering guidance here and criticism there, as though the entire team would grind to a halt without him.
Everyone else at Heaven Dou Royal Academy could not be bothered to argue with him and simply turned a blind eye.
Not content with that, Yu Xiaogang also set his sights on Canghui Academy's Seven-in-One Fusion Skill.
If Tang San and the others could learn it, Heaven Dou Royal Academy's strength would rise another notch, and their chances of winning the championship in the finals would improve considerably.
In the original story, the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill that Yu Xiaogang taught the Shrek Seven Devils had probably also come from Shi Nian, obtained by Tang San after killing him.
Now, Yu Xiaogang called on Flender and Liu Erlong, and the three of them went to Canghui Academy together.
Like a fox borrowing a tiger's might, they used threats and inducements to demand the method for the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill.

Their victory over Heaven Dou Royal Academy in the qualifiers should have been Canghui Academy's most glorious moment in decades.
But the visitors invoked the powers backing them: Heaven Dou Royal Academy, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and the Clear Sky Sect. A small academy like Canghui Academy could hardly afford to offend them.
Left with no choice, Canghui Academy handed over
