Outside the gates.
Xiao Gang and Gangzi's voices were exceedingly grating.
Su Chen said with a cold expression:
"You still haven't given up?"
"Why go to Shrek Academy?"
"To reunite with your old friends?"
"An utterly impoverished, nameless academy."
"What kind of education could little San and Xiao Wu get there?"
"You say I'm acting recklessly? You're the ones acting recklessly!"
Su Chen's words were like a thorn.
They stabbed viciously into the hearts of the two Gangs.
It had to be said that Su Chen was right.
Shrek Academy truly was far too impoverished.
It lacked both teaching staff and funding.
If that place hadn't been their home ground,
they wouldn't have been so fixated on it.
And Su Chen?
He had originally wanted to drive these two frauds who deceived the world and stole their reputations
away from Tang San.
But he was constrained by the continent's rules.
Since Tang San had taken them as his teachers,
he couldn't simply drive them away.
There was a saying: a teacher for a day was a father for life.
Tang San was someone who valued affection and loyalty.
Su Chen had no need to leave Tang San caught in the middle, unable to please either side.
Keeping these two Gangs around isn't bad.
I'll also let them realize the gulf between us!
Having them serve as backdrops and supporting characters for me to take down a peg is pretty entertaining, too.
Plenty of people on Earth think so.
Su Chen calculated inwardly.
Xiao Gang and Gangzi didn't know that, in Su Chen's mind,
the two of them were merely walking backdrops and supporting characters.
Nothing more than laughingstocks.
Seeing Su Chen remain silent, Xiao Gang and Gangzi
indulged in their fantasies:
"I told you little San couldn't do without us."
"Sooner or later, we'll defeat Su Chen with theory."
Tang San could only smile awkwardly:
"Why can't these two teachers understand plain speech?"
Xiao Wu said playfully:
"Little San!"
"These two Gangs are far too thick-skinned."
"Why do they follow you wherever you go?"
Su Chen had already kept them around as laughingstocks.
Xiao Gang and Gangzi took a mile when given an inch:
"Su Chen!"
"We have quite a friendship with Spirit Hall."
"Coming to this academy, we'd at least be senior teachers."
"You're probably just an ordinary teacher, right?"
"You'd better stop competing with us over Tang San."
Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo rolled his eyes:
"This Grandmaster really is thick-skinned."
"Senior teachers, indeed."
"You should count yourselves lucky you aren't being driven out."
Xiao Gang and Gangzi flushed crimson at his words.
But they didn't dare argue.
After all, these two were Titled Douluos.
A mere Soul Grandmaster like themselves was simply a joke.
Su Chen gave a cold laugh:
"You two really do love your fantasies."
"Let's... wait and see, shall we?"
Soon.
The group arrived at the academy plaza.
An elderly rank-95 Titled Douluo came forward to greet them:
"You must be Tang San and Xiao Wu?"
"One with twin martial souls, one with a ten thousand year first soul ring."
Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo introduced him:
"Lord Su Chen!"
"This is Situ Aoyue, the principal of Spirit Hall Academy."
"The rank-95 Wolf Douluo!"
Su Chen smiled.
The soul power of a rank-99 Limit Douluo surged out.
He decided to intimidate Situ Aoyue.
That way, little San and Xiao Wu would receive his focused nurturing.
Resources were also a form of wealth and opportunity.
In an instant.
The disdain that had originally filled Situ Aoyue's eyes
finally gave way to agitation:
"You're not even thirty yet, are you?"
"And you're already as powerful as a rank-99 Limit Douluo?"
"Your potential is even more terrifying than these two children's!"
Tang San and Xiao Wu felt quite proud.
Who wouldn't want a teacher like Su Chen?
Handsome, young, and powerful.
How could Xiao Gang and Gangzi compare?
Situ Aoyue had completely ignored them, too.
So they stepped forward and asked:
"Situ Aoyue, can't you see us?"
Situ Aoyue glanced at them disdainfully and said:
"Weren't you expelled from Spirit City?"
"You still dare come here?"
"Have you no shame!"
Xiao Gang and Gangzi had thought
Situ Aoyue would welcome them with a smile.
They hadn't expected to be met with undisguised mockery.
In an instant.
Both their faces flushed red.
They were left speechless.
Situ Aoyue respectfully asked Su Chen:
"They are your disciples, correct?"
Su Chen said calmly, "Yes."
"One with twin martial souls, one with a ten thousand year soul ring."
The surrounding students
all unwittingly crowded forward:
"This six-year-old boy has twin martial souls?"
"This six-year-old girl has a ten thousand year soul ring?"
"They're even more dazzling than the Golden Generation!"
Not far away.
The Golden Generation watched all this through gritted teeth:
"That Tang San again."
"He keeps stealing our limelight."
"Once he enrolls, we'll have to teach him a proper lesson."
Hu Liena's gaze was hostile.
Xie Yue was utterly cold.
Yan's fighting spirit surged.
Many of the students near them
watched the spectacle and said:
"The Golden Generation seems really jealous of that little boy."
"I wonder, after this little boy enrolls,"
"whether he'll change the situation where the Golden Generation alone dominates the academy's highest ranks!"
At that moment.
Situ Aoyue respectfully said to Su Chen:
"Your Excellency, rank-99 Limit Douluo."
"I will personally handle your enrollment procedures."
"Please follow me to the office so we can discuss the details!"
The students passing by and watching clicked their tongues in amazement:
"Heavens! This young man isn't even thirty yet, is he!"
"And he's already a rank-99 Limit Douluo?"
"These two children are his disciples, too?"
"Twin martial souls and a ten thousand year first soul ring!"
"I'm afraid the era of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation is about to see the heavens change!"
Xiao Gang and Gangzi, meanwhile, looked thoroughly proud.
They wore expressions that said, "My disciple is amazing."
They exchanged glances and said smugly:
"Once Tang San becomes a student of Spirit Hall Academy,"
"for us two teachers,"
"getting senior teaching positions will be more than easy."
"Add our title as the continent's foremost theoretical Grandmasters,"
"and will Situ Aoyue still dare look down on us?"
Little did they know.
The two of them were merely immersed in their own fantasies.
Trying to rise through their disciple's standing.
Neither of them was qualified!
After Su Chen entered the office.
Situ Aoyue respectfully invited Su Chen to sit on the sofa.
As for those two Gangs, he didn't even look at them.
He didn't so much as ask them to sit.
In an instant.
Xiao Gang and Gangzi flushed crimson and said:
"Situ Aoyue, you dare look down on us!"
Situ Aoyue scoffed:
"Who do you think you are?"
"You were thrown out for plagiarizing Spirit Hall's theories."
"And you still have the nerve to expect me to treat you politely?"
Situ Aoyue naturally knew.
He knew where the two Grandmasters' theories had come from.
Back then, Lady Bibi Dong had ordered Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo to personally throw Yu Xiaogang out of Spirit City.
Many important figures still remembered it clearly.
Situ Aoyue was already being courteous by not throwing the two of them out.
Just then.
Su Chen slowly spoke:
"Dean, I hope Xiao San and Xiao Wu can complete their enrollment procedures immediately."
"I'm in a hurry to take Xiao San to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for his first ten thousand year Soul Ring."
"What? A ten thousand year Soul Ring!!!"
The young man serving as the dean's clerk was dumbfounded.
The hand he was pouring tea with began to tremble.
Situ Aoyue asked in shock:
"This little boy before me has already reached rank ten Soul Power?"
Tang San said respectfully:
"Dean! I have innate full Soul Power!"
Situ Aoyue exclaimed repeatedly:
"Twin martial souls combined with innate full Soul Power."
"Now that's a normal combination!"
"Tang San, you're truly astonishing."
But Situ Aoyue suddenly overlooked something and asked:
"Sir, what you just said about hunting for a Soul Ring?"
"Did you mean a ten thousand year first Soul Ring?"
Su Chen took a sip of tea and said calmly:
"Yes!"
In an instant.
The young clerk's hand began trembling again.
Situ Aoyue said in disbelief:
"This is simply unheard of."
"Incredible!"
Xiao Gang and Gangzi sneered:
"Su Chen! See?"
"You're simply defying all accepted teachings!"
They had known it.
Others would also think Su Chen was acting recklessly.
But Su Chen knew.
He had to use his strength to silence everyone:
"Xiao Wu, summon your first Soul Ring!"
Xiao Wu was clever and understood immediately.
Then she raised her palm slightly.
A black ten thousand year Soul Ring rose from beneath her feet.
Situ Aoyue sank into his office chair in shock:
"This six-year-old girl's first Soul Ring is actually ten thousand years old!"
"And it's such a deep black!"
"That's absolutely impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Su Chen saw that Situ Aoyue had seen little of the world.
He slowly spoke:
"I am her teacher, after all."
"Take a look. What kind of Soul Rings are these?"
Situ Aoyue stared fixedly at Su Chen.
So did the young clerk.
Then, one black Soul Ring after another.
Slowly rose from beneath Su Chen's feet.
"The first Soul Ring is black!"
"The second Soul Ring is black!"
"The third, fourth, fifth..."
"The seventh Soul Ring is black."
"The eighth and ninth Soul Rings are blood-red!"
Situ Aoyue exclaimed repeatedly.
Just what kind of monster was sitting before him!
Even a rank-one-hundred god.
Could not have all of their first seven Soul Rings be black!
Yet Xiao Gang and Gangzi said with faces full of derision:
"Su Chen! All you know how to do is show off!"
"Theory is the foundation of everything for a Soul Master."
"An exception like you doesn't really count."
Situ Aoyue completely ignored the two Gangs' words and said:
"Give me one minute."
"I'll personally handle these two children's enrollment procedures."
Then Situ Aoyue ran out with the clerk.
His speed was astonishing.
Just then.
To regain some face, Xiao Gang and Gangzi.
Shamelessly made a demand:
"Su Chen, we're Xiao San's teachers too."
"For our disciple's safety, when hunting for his Soul Ring."
"We must be there in person to supervise."
"So you don't ruin Xiao San!"
Before you continue
