"Young master? This old servant really doesn't quite understand what sort of academy Shrek is. As far as I know, Shrek doesn't seem to be one of the advanced Soul Master academies that appear in the Soul Master Tournament.
"Shrek isn't among the advanced Soul Master academies eligible to participate in the Soul Master Tournament, and I've never even heard its name. May I ask what powerful... faction... founded this Shrek Academy?"
At this point, Tai Tan did not continue speaking and showed that he knew nothing about these matters. He did not know what sort of academy this was, nor did he have the ability to hear Tang San's inner thoughts.
Only people very close to Tang San were qualified to hear his inner thoughts. Tai Tan was merely a household slave.
Both Tang San and Tang Hao regarded Tai Tan as nothing more than their slave, and the entire Strength Clan as their clan of slaves.
Thus, Tai Tan was not qualified to hear Tang San's inner thoughts.
"I've heard it seems to be a monster academy that only accepts monsters. Although I don't know what this Shrek Academy is capable of, I plan to go there. If this monster academy really is a capable academy, I'll stay there. If there are plenty of outstanding geniuses, I'll win them over, and they can help fight Spirit Hall when the time comes."
"That's my thinking. At the very least, if I want to deal with Spirit Hall, I need plenty of people, outstanding geniuses willing to help me."
"Besides, if Shrek Academy turns out to be a fraudulent academy, with Elder Tai Tan around, do I need to worry about Shrek's people playing any tricks?"
Tang San said this because, as he saw it, Shrek's strongest member at present was merely the flight-type Soul Saint Flender. Even if everyone at Shrek joined forces, including Zhao Wuji, they could not possibly be a match for Tai Tan, a Soul Douluo. Tai Tan's strength was the greatest. Although Flender's flying attacks were formidable, the problem was that they could not seriously injure Tai Tan. Moreover, as long as Flender dared to attack, Tai Tan would have an opportunity to seize him and deal him a grievous blow.
Zhao Wuji was a strength-type Soul Master and could not possibly match Tai Tan in pure strength. Even the remaining few combined could not be Tai Tan's match.
Thus, if Shrek's people dared to cause trouble, he was confident that Tai Tan could handle them.
"You make a good point, young master. If Shrek Academy really is an academy that accepts geniuses, then taking those geniuses under your banner will also help us fight Spirit Hall when the time comes."
Tai Tan increasingly felt that his decision to return to his master Tang Hao's service had been correct. With such an outstanding young master, they would surely forge even greater glory and restore the Strength Clan to prosperity.
Although Tai Tan still detested the Clear Sky Sect, he did not detest his master. After all, in his eyes, Tang Hao was in the right.
Especially after learning that Spirit Hall had been hunting Tang Hao's wife back then, he finally understood why Tang Hao had fought Spirit Hall. What was wrong with protecting his own wife? Spirit Hall had clearly been far too overbearing.
If they wanted to kill someone's wife, would he agree? Why should Tang Hao let Spirit Hall kill his wife? Surely no one could easily accept that?
Thus, Tai Tan believed Tang Hao had done nothing wrong.
Spirit Hall had been far too overbearing. It was just that Tai Tan did not know Tang Hao's wife was a 100,000-year Soul Beast.
Tai Tan did not know his master had married a Soul Beast. He had always thought Tang Hao's wife, Ah Yin, was an outstanding Soul Master who had drawn Spirit Hall's pursuit simply because she possessed a treasure.
"In any case, Senior Tai Tan, let's hurry to Shrek Academy."
"All right."
"Do you need me to help you pick out some suitable advanced Soul Master academies?"
Su Yuntao walked over just then.
"Uncle Su Yuntao, I'm choosing a Soul Master academy that suits me, but the problem is that I want to find an outstanding academy, one that suits me, and I haven't found a suitable one yet."
"You have two top-level martial souls. I don't know how high the rank of your ice-attribute martial soul is, but it should be very high. Your Heavenly Spear martial soul is also formidable."
"If the major factions want to win you over, they'll certainly offer you excellent resources. But the problem is that neither the Star Luo Empire's imperial academy nor the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial academy is an option. Joining their academies means joining their factions, and you'll become entangled in the conflict between Spirit Hall and the two great empires."
Although he was only a low-ranking member, he understood the current friction over interests between Spirit Hall and the two great empires very well. He also knew that, in this world, interests were the root of conflict between different factions. There were currently major conflicts of interest between the two great empires and Spirit Hall, so if Kai joined a Soul Master academy run by either empire, he would certainly become entangled in those conflicts.
He truly did not want to see his nephew become embroiled in the conflict between the two great empires and Spirit Hall, nor did he wish to have to face his nephew when the time came.
Thus, he would not recommend that Kai join either empire's imperial Soul Master academy. Kai's talent was indeed tremendous: two super martial souls, and innate full soul power at level twenty. Although it had been concealed, if anyone learned of Kai's true talent, how terrifying would that be? How many people would be willing to win him over?
But that would certainly plunge Kai into danger.
"I won't join the two great empires' Soul Master academies, their imperial Soul Master academies. I know very well that both empires revolve around their imperial families. If I joined, I'd also be joining their imperial factions, and I really dislike their imperial families."
After all, as a transmigrator who had embraced the idea that all people were equal, although he did not know whether he could change this world, he simply could not bow his head to feudal rulers.
If joining an imperial Soul Master academy meant becoming those imperial families' lackey and slave, he could not do it and was unwilling to join.
"What do you want to do, then? Which Soul Master academies do you want information about? I can bring you all the information. We'll choose carefully, and perhaps we can help you find a Soul Master academy that suits you."
Su Yuntao then took out many books of information on Soul Master academies. He had prepared all of them beforehand. He knew Kai was highly talented and that outstanding Soul Master academies would certainly be willing to win him over, so he had prepared plenty of information about Soul Master academies in advance for Kai to choose from, to help him select a suitable academy.
