Tang San: Teacher Understands the Mysterious Heaven Skill Better Than I Do? Back to Shrek!

Faced with Li Changsheng's puzzlement, Tang San no longer hesitated and spoke:

"Teacher, as you know, I've been practicing a cultivation technique all along. Its name is the Mysterious Heaven Skill. I'm sorry I never told you about it, but now I want to pass it on to you!"

"Little San, you kept it from me out of caution, and I'm glad of that. But your willingness to teach it to me shows trust, and that gratifies me as your teacher too!"

Li Changsheng stroked Tang San's head with his large hand, his tone gentle. Now that he had the system's reward, he could only give Tang San a little taste of a dimensional-reduction strike.

Feeling Teacher Changsheng's warm palm, Tang San smiled happily. Having someone care about him felt wonderful!

"Teacher, my Mysterious Heaven Skill includes not only a cultivation method, but hand techniques and movement techniques too. I'll teach you those once we get back! Since we're in the carriage now, let me teach you the cultivation method first!"

"That works. As it happens, I've made considerable achievements in things like meditation methods. Perhaps I can even help you improve it."

Tang San didn't take Li Changsheng's words seriously. After all, in his eyes, the Mysterious Heaven Skill was already an exceptionally perfect cultivation technique. No matter how heaven-defying Teacher Changsheng's knowledge was, it was only theoretical knowledge. This wasn't something comprehension covered.

Throughout the journey, Tang San guided Li Changsheng through circulating the Mysterious Heaven Skill. Although the latter had the enhanced version, he still earnestly cooperated with Tang San.

"Teacher, how is it?"

As Li Changsheng slowly opened his eyes, Tang San's concerned face came into view. He smiled faintly and said, "Yes, the Mysterious Heaven Skill is indeed powerful. I can already circulate it proficiently!"

As he spoke, Li Changsheng began circulating it right in front of Tang San.

The sight left Tang San staring dumbfounded across from him.

What was going on?

He had only just learned it, and he could already use it proficiently?

"Th-this!"

Tang San was almost incoherent. In his previous life, even while being hunted down, he had still won those elders' recognition as a genius rarely seen in a century. Who would have thought his Teacher Changsheng was an even greater genius?

How long had he even spent learning it?

"It wasn't very difficult. Besides, I've already found several flaws in this cultivation technique. If we can improve them, we can increase its efficiency!"

"Really?! Please enlighten me, Teacher!"

Tang San's eyes lit up. Teacher Changsheng really was someone he could count on-when there were flaws, he truly could find them!

Afterward, master and disciple began discussing the mysteries of the Mysterious Heaven Skill together in the carriage.

Time slipped by.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

At the gates of Suotuo City, two figures slowly stepped out of a carriage.

"Phew! It really is better here. We're finally back!" Tang San let out a long breath. Sitting in the carriage every day had nearly stifled him to death.

These past few days had truly been like a knife slicing his backside-an eye-opener. Teacher Changsheng's comprehension was actually this high?! He had taught him the Mysterious Heaven Skill, Purple Demon Eye, and Mysterious Jade Hand, and he had mastered almost all of them as soon as he learned them!

This was also thanks to Li Changsheng's system reward. With his foundation in the Mysterious Heaven Skill, he learned everything relatively quickly.

Moreover, thanks to the cultivation technique, his Soul Power Level had risen by one to level fifty-nine. In less than a month, he would be able to use his sixth compatible Soul Ring.

"All right, let's head back first. We'll keep your mother at my place for now. Once an opportunity arises later, we'll transplant her somewhere better!"

"Mm-hmm!"

The two walked toward Shrek Academy.

Before long, a white jade gate tower, far larger and grander than the old village entrance, came into view. Compared to before, the entrance now practically resembled a city gate!

"This is Shrek Academy? Where on earth have I ended up?"

Tang San rubbed his eyes in disbelief. He almost activated his Purple Demon Eye to inspect it, but the name above couldn't lie. This really was Shrek Academy!

The white jade gate tower stood over ten meters tall, built with substantial, sturdy materials. Although it lacked the elaborate gilded carvings of royalty, its style was still exceedingly grand.

At the very center of the gate tower hung a massive plaque with an amethyst base and white jade edging, engraved with the five large characters for "Shrek Academy."

"This really is nice! They've done a wonderful job renovating it!"

Li Changsheng's eyes lit up as well. As expected of something produced by the system-even its renovations were this accomplished.

It was understated without lacking a touch of luxury. It wasn't as lavish as the nobility's style, but it was no less impressive than those prestigious academies. He just didn't know what the inside looked like yet.

Creak!

While the two were still looking around, the gates swung open with a rumble, and a figure dressed in gray-black cloth garments slowly walked out.

That familiar face belonged to none other than Flender!

"Chang-Changsheng?! You're finally back! It's been almost seven days. Where did you go?"

Flender looked up and immediately spotted Li Changsheng and Tang San. Joy instantly welled up in his heart, and he strode toward Li Changsheng with his arms spread, clearly intending to give him a hug.

"Sorry for worrying you. I took Little San to Holy Soul Village. Old Zhao should have told you, right?"

"He did, but I was worried! You're the core of our Shrek Academy! The students all need you very much too!"

Flender patted Li Changsheng's shoulder, his face brimming with joy. Paying no attention to anything else, he pulled Li Changsheng toward the academy.

"Come on! The academy has changed enormously these past few days. Those construction crews are simply geniuses! They've transformed Shrek Academy into this!"

Once the academy came up, Flender had no end of things to say. Not only were they extremely efficient, but they also worked without any hesitation, as though everything had been arranged in advance.

It had made him wonder more than once whether he was dreaming. And it wasn't just him-the teachers felt the same. None of them had expected to wake up and find themselves holding official posts as proper teachers.

"Ah, this is all thanks to you, Changsheng. It's just like a dream. After a little more time, I'll start expanding enrollment and lower the requirements somewhat."

"Yes, it's better for the academy to have more people. The graduation requirements can be lowered appropriately too. In that case, I'd suggest establishing an inner court and an outer court later on. The inner court would consist only of the Shrek Seven Devils, while the outer court would be for regular students."

"That's good! But more than anything, I hope they'll have decent character. We absolutely can't have things like arson, murder, robbery, and pillaging."

Flender stroked his beard. He felt it was quite necessary to revise the academy rules. He didn't want students who liked stirring up trouble!

Without sufficient strength or backing, stirring up trouble was like suicide. Provoking a Titled Douluo or someone from a major power was no different from courting death.

As they talked, the three had already entered the academy.

Compared to before, the original country paths had been replaced with bluestone paving. The ground was level, and lush vegetation had been planted along both sides of the roads.

"Dean, all of this was finished in less than seven days? Isn't that a little too efficient?"

Tang San's voice was full of amazement. This was by no means a small project. Renovating an academy inside and out-and this was only the exterior; they hadn't even reached the teaching and office areas yet. The manpower and resources expended were surely unimaginable.

"I'm puzzled too. Those construction workers started renovating as soon as they came in. They wouldn't speak when I asked them anything, either."

"But although they were a little strange, their efficiency and craftsmanship were beyond reproach!"

Flender explained with a smile. Most importantly, those people hadn't charged anything extra. After learning that Li Changsheng had spent so much money on Shrek Academy, Flender had also paid out of his own pocket without another word to improve the cafeteria's meals. Now they could eat meat at every meal!

"Tang San, you've been away so long. You must miss them too, right? The dormitories are over there. There's no class today, so you can go back and get settled first."

"Thank you, Dean! Teacher, I'll head over first!"

The moment Tang San heard Flender's prompting, he could no longer contain himself. He wanted to see Xiao Wu. After so long apart, Xiao Wu ought to be missing him too!

"That brat. I bet missing the others is just a pretext, and it's Xiao Wu he really misses, isn't it?"

Flender shook his head with a chuckle, then continued showing Li Changsheng around. It was still early morning, and hardly any of the students had come out.

Along the way, the academy square, teaching buildings, office buildings, and cafeteria had almost all been completely transformed. They had even added new mimicry cultivation rooms.
