Night, in the Dean's Office at Shrek Academy.
Tang San stood to one side. On the sofa beside him sat his great teacher and Dean Flender.
"Xiaogang, honestly, we've been asking you what happened. Why won't you tell us?"
Flender looked at Yu Xiaogang, whose face was still swollen despite receiving soul power treatment, and sighed.
"Flender, I'm really fine. Let's not bring this up again."
Yu Xiaogang leaned against the sofa, a trace of displeasure already creeping into his voice.
What a joke. His image in Flender's and Tang San's minds could not suffer the slightest blemish.
If Flender and Tang San learned that Li Yusong at the entrance had just pinned him to the ground and beaten him, where would he put his face?
Yu Xiaogang turned to Tang San again and said, "Xiaosan, go back and rest. Flender and I haven't seen each other in a long time. We have plenty to discuss."
At that, Tang San silently nodded, then bowed slightly to Yu Xiaogang and Flender before withdrawing.
As soon as he stepped outside, Dai Mubai and the other two, who had long been waiting at the door, gathered around him.
"Tang San, is that Soul Grandmaster really your teacher?"
Recalling Yu Xiaogang's appearance at the entrance earlier, Ma Hongjun felt that Tang San seemed to have been deceived.
"Yes. My teacher's cultivation may be low, but his theoretical knowledge encompasses the entire continent."
"Across the entire continent, my teacher's theories alone are the best and most formidable!"
As he spoke, Tang San released his martial soul.
"Look, my martial soul is Blue Silver Grass. That's right, the trash martial soul, Blue Silver Grass. But under my teacher's guidance, I'm already a rank-fifteen Soul Master!"
Light shone in Tang San's eyes as he said this.
To let a Soul Master with the trash martial soul Blue Silver Grass cultivate to rank fifteen in a single year.
Across the entire continent, probably only his, Tang San's, teacher could accomplish that!
Looking at the Blue Silver Grass in Tang San's palm and the yellow soul ring beneath his feet.
Dai Mubai and the other two all sucked in a breath of cold air.
"Then it looks like your teacher really is impressive!"
A thoughtful look suddenly appeared in Dai Mubai's eyes.
Even Tang San, with his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, managed to cultivate to rank fifteen under that flat-top's guidance.
Then wouldn't I, with my top-tier White Tiger Martial Soul, become even stronger!?
At this moment, Dai Mubai suddenly felt the light of dawn shine upon his life once more.
If he had that man's guidance, perhaps he could defeat his elder brother in the future succession struggle!
A seed of desire to take him as his teacher quietly buried itself in Dai Mubai's heart. As for when it would sprout, no one could say.
"Oh, right, Xiaosan, why did your teacher come to our academy? With how impressive he is, plenty of great families should be fighting over him, right?"
Oscar asked then.
"My teacher told me that he came to our academy this time because our dean is a close friend of his."
"First, he came for me. Second, he came to nurture more powerful experts for our Shrek Academy!"
The instant Tang San finished speaking, the eyes of Dai Mubai and the other two lit up.
"Then, Xiaosan, does that mean we'll be able to receive your teacher's guidance too?"
Ma Hongjun asked eagerly. Although he did not expect to become all that strong himself.
With powerful cultivation, though, picking up girls would be easier. Even winning over those noble young ladies would be no problem!
"Yes, but my teacher's teaching methods are extremely strict. You must hold on," Tang San said, nodding.
After receiving Tang San's confirmation, aside from Oscar, who felt indifferent.
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were both overjoyed.
Dai Mubai, in particular, seemed to see the Star Luo Empire's throne within easy reach.
Ma Hongjun, meanwhile, saw a future with a beauty in each arm.
Before long, a month had passed.
During that month, aside from squeezing Sang Biao dry every day, Yun Tian did nothing but squeeze Sang Biao dry.
This had also successfully brought his soul power level to rank twenty-five.
"The day after tomorrow is registration day at Skywater Academy. Time to set out."
Inside the inn, Yun Tian emerged from cultivation and counted the days.
After checking out and leaving the inn, Yun Tian let Sang Biao out.
By now, Sang Biao stood roughly one meter seventy tall.
Yun Tian mounted Sang Biao and, after feeding the beast some soul beast meat he had bought, set off toward Skywater City.
Three days later, Yun Tian successfully reached Skywater City's gates.
After entering the city, Yun Tian bought Sang Biao some more soul beast meat, then headed straight for Skywater Academy.
After walking for roughly an hour, Yun Tian caught sight of Skywater Academy.
Skywater Academy was located in the city center. It did not occupy a particularly large area, but it had every kind of building it needed.
That included a Mimicry Training Ground, something Shrek Academy could not have even if they smashed their heads open trying.
Upon arriving at the registration desk, Yun Tian heard a familiar voice.
"Yun Tian, I'm here!"
Yun Tian turned and saw Shui Bing'er waving at him before running toward him.
Shui Qingwu followed behind Shui Bing'er.
"Yun Tian, when did you get here? Why didn't you come find me?"
Shui Bing'er crouched down and stroked Sang Biao, then looked up and asked Yun Tian.
"I just arrived. But from what I can see, you didn't want me to come. You wanted Sang Biao to come, didn't you?"
At that, Shui Bing'er coughed awkwardly twice, then spoke with a serious expression.
"How could that be? Sang Biao is Sang Biao, and you're you. How could I possibly be like you said?"
At that moment, Shui Qingwu walked over.
"All right, Tian, you don't need to queue here. With the Special Admission Letter you have, you can go straight to the Bone Age Test. Once that's done, you can enroll."
Yun Tian was very satisfied with this.
There were benefits to being on the Douluo Continent, too. If you were strong, you enjoyed privileges wherever you went.
Following Shui Qingwu straight into the academy, Yun Tian headed toward the place where bone age was tested.
Along the way, quite a few female students turned their attention toward him.
As a male at Skywater Academy, he was beyond merely rare, so naturally he drew plenty of gazes.
"Elder Xu, please test this child's bone age first."
Shui Qingwu spoke to an old man with graying hair and beard.
Elder Xu looked over, his expression freezing for a moment.
"Dean, is he the only male student you mentioned, the one you specially recruited into our academy?"
At that, Shui Qingwu nodded, then exchanged a few more words with Elder Xu.
"Child, hold out your left hand."
Elder Xu walked up to Yun Tian and spoke to him with a kindly expression.
Yun Tian did as instructed, slowly extending his left hand.
After placing his fingers on Yun Tian's left wrist, Elder Xu closed his eyes.
"Hiss!"
Abruptly, Elder Xu opened his eyes and stared at Yun Tian as though he had seen some sort of monster.
"What's wrong, Elder Xu?"
Seeing Elder Xu like this, Shui Qingwu immediately stepped forward and asked.
Elder Xu had tested bone ages here for so many years, yet he had never reacted like this before!
