He, Qin Ming, would keep his word!
"Hmph, those people at Heaven Dou Royal Academy are nothing but narrow-minded fools. There's no point staying among students taught by trash like that."
Yu Xiaogang snorted coldly. Who on the entire continent hadn't heard of him, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang?
His approaching the people at Heaven Dou Royal Academy to save Tang San had been an honor he was bestowing upon them.
Yet not only had they refused to save him, they had thrown them out instead.
As Xiaosan would put it:
They had already earned their own deaths!
"By the way, Dean Flender, Grandmaster, I saw this on my way to find you."
With that, Qin Ming took out the recruitment notice for teachers at Blue Tyrant Academy that he had seen on the street.
"Blue Tyrant Academy is an advanced academy, too. They only admit commoner students, not nobles."
Hearing this, Flender stepped forward and took the recruitment notice from Qin Ming.
"Oh, they only admit commoners? Then this Blue Tyrant Academy sounds rather interesting."
Flender's sharp eyes swept over it.
He inspected the notice for anything amiss with the discerning eye he had honed over years as a crooked merchant.
"Hmm, teachers must have Soul Power above rank fifty, and students must be sixteen with Soul Power above rank twenty. That suits us perfectly."
Flender immediately brightened as he read the requirements.
All of them old fellows were at the Soul Emperor level or above, while their Little Monsters had all reached rank thirty after taking that Ginseng King.
This advanced Soul Master academy, where they could participate in the Soul Master Tournament, was practically prepared just for them!
"Yes, this Blue Tyrant Academy really does suit us. Flender, why don't we take a look at that academy first, then go hunt Soul Rings for Fatty and the others?"
Yu Xiaogang lay in bed, his little flat-topped head, filled with "world-shaking wisdom," telling him:
This Blue Tyrant Academy was where they truly belonged!
"Haha, since even you say so, Xiaogang, let's go take a look at this Blue Tyrant Academy. Hopefully, they won't be as blind as that lot at Heaven Dou Royal Academy!" Flender said resentfully.
"Exactly!"
Qin Ming suddenly spoke up.
"I hope this Blue Tyrant Academy knows what's good for them. Otherwise..."
Qin Ming rubbed his fists. He hadn't forgotten their great Shrek Academy's school rule.
A Soul Master who dared not stir up trouble was a mediocrity.
He had engraved that rule in his heart and followed it through to the end!
"Yes, Xiaoming is right. We can't let them look down on our Shrek Academy."
Flender stood and addressed everyone. "Come on, pack up. We're going to Blue Tyrant Academy today!"
Blue Tyrant Academy, the mountain behind it.
"Xiaogang, where on earth are you?"
In a garden on the mountain behind the academy, a woman brimming with mature charm looked up at the sky, two trails of clear tears running down her face.
She was none other than Yu Xiaogang's other devoted lapdog, Liu Erlong.
"Dean, a group has arrived outside the academy. They said they saw our recruitment notice and came to apply for teaching positions and join our academy. Would you like to take a look yourself?"
The middle-aged man responsible for testing the Shrek group's Soul Power in the original story stood to one side and addressed Liu Erlong.
"No need. Handle it yourself," Liu Erlong said.
Normally, she would certainly have gone herself, but right now, she had something more important to do.
An entire week had passed since she had last imagined her beloved Brother Xiaogang in her mind.
"Yes, Dean."
After speaking, the middle-aged man withdrew, while Liu Erlong headed into a small wooden cabin.
After entering the cabin, she even sealed it off with her Soul Power.
The middle-aged man went straight to the testing hall, where the gatekeeper had already brought the Shrek Academy group.
"Everyone, since you're here to apply for teaching positions, please demonstrate your Soul Power Levels."
Just then, Yu Xiaogang shifted almost imperceptibly within the crowd, concealing himself among Tang San and the others.
Upon seeing the Grandmaster, Dai Mubai asked in confusion:
"Grandmaster, you're a teacher. Why aren't you standing with the Dean and the others?"
Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang hurriedly covered Dai Mubai's mouth.
"Shh, shh, shh. I can stand wherever I please. Besides, I'm worried you'll get nervous during what comes next, understand?"
What a joke. His Soul Power was only rank eleven now. If he stood among Flender and the others, who knew how much face he would lose?
Once Flender and the others finished their tests, he would quietly slip in among them!
His idea was simply brilliant!
Just then, Flender and the others began their moment of showing off.
First came Qin Ming, then Li Yusong, and finally the three Soul Saints, Zhao Wuji, Flender, and Shao Xin.
The appearance of three Soul Saints, along with three Soul Emperors including Qin Ming, left the middle-aged man stunned.
Three Soul Saints-these were mighty figures on the same level as his own Dean! Could this group have come to challenge the academy?
"Everyone, your strength is more than sufficient. However, you're rather powerful, so I may need to consult our Dean in a moment."
Looking at the middle-aged man's bowing, scraping manner, Flender felt more pleased than words could describe.
"All right, but since we're testing, let's test everyone."
With that, Flender looked toward Dai Mubai and the others behind him.
He also shot Yu Xiaogang a glance and shifted sideways, blocking Yu Xiaogang from view.
"Yes, Dean."
Dai Mubai smiled confidently. Ma Hongjun and the others beside him also smiled confidently and took a step forward.
After Dai Mubai and the others had all introduced their respective Soul Power Levels, the middle-aged man sank into utter, profound shock.
Every one of them was a Soul Elder, and their average age was only thirteen or fourteen.
Were they even fucking human?
The geniuses in their academy were practically no different from trash compared with this group.
"Hmm, that's not right. Didn't the gatekeeper say there were fourteen people? Why are there only thirteen?"
The middle-aged man quickly swept his gaze over the Shrek group.
With just one look, he spotted the man with the little flat-top, who had worn a calm, haughty expression ever since entering.
After all, Flender and the others had just demonstrated their Soul Power Levels, leaving a truly deep impression on him.
Only this Flat-top remained.
"Sir, are you also here to apply for a teaching position? If so, please step forward and release your Soul Power."
The middle-aged man smiled. Although this Flat-top looked somewhat dispirited,
Since he could associate with these terrifyingly powerful figures, surely his strength couldn't be too lacking.
Yu Xiaogang trembled when he was singled out. He stepped forward with a smile and said composedly:
"My friend, my strength lies not in my Soul Power Level, but in theory. The world calls me the Theory Grandmaster."
