"Let's go, Xiao Wu. Let's head inside."
Tang San was in a wonderful mood. Just moments ago, his beloved Xiao Wu had shown concern for him!
After entering the academy, the two went straight to the Dean's Office.
Flender was extremely welcoming. Even before Tang San and Xiao Wu arrived,
his old friend, the continent's foremost theoretical Grandmaster, had already notified him.
After they completed the enrollment formalities and underwent a simple assessment, the sky had already darkened.
"Xiaosan, Xiao Wu, you can go to your dorms now. Xiao Wu, since you're the only girl in the academy, your room isn't in the student dormitory. I'll take you to a separate house in a moment."
On the training field, Flender looked at Tang San and Xiao Wu before him, happier than words could describe.
"Hahaha, Xiaogang really hasn't forgotten his old brother! He's actually sent me two peerless prodigies!"
Both were seven years old, yet their Soul Power was already at rank fifteen. Such talent absolutely ranked first among all the students Shrek Academy had enrolled over the years.
Hearing this, Tang San nodded firmly. As he looked at Flender before him, his admiration for his teacher grew greater still.
His teacher was merely a Soul Grandmaster, yet whenever this Soul Saint dean mentioned his teacher,
the expression on his face was one of deep admiration.
That was enough to demonstrate his teacher's authority!
"Dean, I'll head over first, then."
Flender nodded. He thought very highly of Tang San, his good brother's disciple.
Anyone his old friend, whose standards were higher than the heavens, would accept as a disciple had to have something special about him.
After leaving the training field, Tang San went straight to Shrek Academy's student dormitory.
When he pushed open the door, he found two beds inside. One already had bedding and other belongings on it.
Tang San went straight to the empty bed beside it and took his luggage out of the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges.
Just as he finished making his bed, the tightly shut wooden door was pushed open.
Tang San looked back and saw three figures slowly walk in from outside.
They visibly froze when they saw Tang San, then recovered. The blond in the lead spoke first.
"Brother, are you a new student who just arrived today?"
Hearing this, Tang San nodded silently.
The academy Teacher recommended really is terrifying indeed. Though the academy only has a handful of students, their quality is truly terrifying!
Sensing the Soul Power fluctuations coming from the three before him, Tang San felt approval toward his peers for the first time.
Seeing Tang San nod, the three visibly brightened.
One of them, a relatively handsome young boy, said with a smile:
"Great! I've finally got a roommate too."
The boy stepped forward, slung an arm around Tang San's shoulders, and said with a smile:
"Brother, I'm Oscar. That blond is Dai Mubai, and that little fatty is Ma Hongjun. We'll be classmates from now on. Let's look out for each other!"
Tang San followed Oscar's pointing hand. Dai Mubai, with his head of blond hair, and the chubby Ma Hongjun nodded at him.
"My name is Tang San. Let's look out for each other."
Tang San spoke with a smile. He suddenly felt that the three before him were easy to get along with.
"Come on, come on! Since you're new, we have to welcome you and wash away the dust of your journey. It's an old tradition of ours!"
Ma Hongjun sidled up to Tang San, a look of "if you know, you know" showing in his eyes.
Then he turned to Dai Mubai.
"Boss, Brother Tang San just got here. Don't you think we should...?"
With that, Ma Hongjun gave Dai Mubai another "if you know, you know" smile.
"Hmph, naturally. But Fatty, you can stay in the dorm later."
Dai Mubai walked straight around Ma Hongjun and over to Tang San.
"Brother Tang San, let's go. Tomorrow happens to be a day off, so there's no training. We'll give you a proper welcome."
Tang San looked at the three of them, somewhat embarrassed.
"Wouldn't that be inappropriate? We've only just met."
Although Tang San felt that Dai Mubai and the others harbored no ill intentions, they had only just met, after all. Going out with them just like that really didn't seem appropriate.
"What's inappropriate about it? Since you've joined this academy, we'll be brothers living together for the next few years. Come on, come on! If we're late, all the good-looking ones will be picked already."
Ma Hongjun strode up to Tang San and simply dragged him outside.
He hadn't taken Dai Mubai's earlier words to heart at all.
With the bond he and Dai Mubai shared, how could he possibly be left behind?
"Huh? What do you mean, all the good-looking ones will be picked?"
Tang San looked utterly bewildered. Didn't welcoming someone and washing away the dust of their journey just mean having a meal? What did that have to do with good looks?
Hearing this, Dai Mubai and the others immediately exchanged a glance, then all looked at Tang San with mischievous intent.
"Brother Tang San, don't worry. I'll personally find you two later. I guarantee you'll feel so good you'll soar."
With that, the three ignored Tang San's bewilderment and simply dragged him toward Suotuo City.
Early the following morning, a luxurious carriage stopped at the Shrek Academy Entrance.
The coachman personally set down a stool, and a middle-aged man with a crew cut, radiating an "aura of kingly dominance" from head to toe, stepped out of the carriage.
"Shrek Academy, this Grandmaster has arrived."
Yu Xiaogang gazed at Shrek Academy before him, brimming with unprecedented confidence.
The reason he hadn't come together with Tang San and Xiao Wu was that-
walking was so tiring.
Riding in a carriage was so much better.
At his age, what was wrong with enjoying himself a little?
As for Tang San and Xiao Wu, they still needed to grow, so they had to travel on foot to strengthen their bodies!
Yu Xiaogang glanced at the old man sleeping slumped over a table at the Shrek Academy Entrance, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
After walking up to the old man, he tapped the table and looked down his nose at him.
"Old man, summon your dean for this Grandmaster. Tell him an old friend is visiting."
Li Yusong twisted his neck, turned the other way, and continued sleeping.
Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang immediately glared and slapped the table.
"Old man, didn't you hear me? Call your dean out here!"
Having finally encountered someone without the slightest Soul Power fluctuation, he simply had to savor the imposing might he possessed as a powerful Soul Grandmaster.
"The dean isn't here. If you want to see him, wait here. Now, stop disturbing this old man's sleep."
After giving Yu Xiaogang an indifferent glance, Li Yusong went back to sleep.
"Make this Grandmaster wait at the entrance? In your dreams. Take me to your Dean's Office. This Grandmaster will wait there."
What a joke. Who was he?
He was Flender's closest friend, as well as the continent's foremost theoretical Grandmaster. How could he possibly wait for someone at the entrance?
At that moment, Li Yusong raised his head again and examined Yu Xiaogang's cultivation, looking puzzled.
A Soul Grandmaster wasn't a particularly powerful cultivation level, was it? How could he be so arrogant?
Li Yusong even began to wonder whether he was hallucinating.
This crew-cut fellow before him was clearly only rank twenty-nine, yet anyone who didn't know better would have thought he was rank ninety-two!
"If you won't wait, then get lost!"
