At this point, Prince Xue Xing sighed, looked at the three education committee members, and asked, "Is this the kind of academy environment you three wanted to see? You've poured your hearts and souls into reforming and improving our academy for so many years, all for the sake of making our Heaven Dou Royal Academy the number one academy on the entire continent, right?"
Prince Xue Xing's words struck a chord with the three education committee members, plunging them into silence as they each let out a slow sigh. They had sacrificed so much for the academy, all for the sake of making it better and nurturing more outstanding Soul Master —this was their heartfelt desire.
Prince Xue Xing then looked at Shrek's group and said, "Among you, there may indeed be some talented individuals, and I have always treated talent with kindness. Since you have come seeking cooperation with our Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and Xue Beng Beng's usual attitude has been arrogant and domineering, both sides are at fault, so I will not pursue this matter further. I believe you are not uncivilized barbarians, and once you know the rules of Heaven Dou City, you will naturally abide by the academy's rules."
"Alright then, I won't bully you. If your students can withstand ten moves from Miss Dugu, I'll let you join the academy, how about that?"
Prince Xue Xing then turned to Dugu Yan and asked, "Miss Dugu, is it alright?" Dugu Yan nodded slightly, agreeing with Prince Xue Xing.
"Alright, ten moves it is. Xiao San, you come. Didn't you always want to fight Miss Dugu again after your defeat? Your chance has come."
The teacher with the crew cut spoke to a plain-looking boy in blue behind him.
"Yes, teacher." The boy in blue stepped forward, slowly extending his right hand, and said, "Please."
Dugu Yan frowned slightly. Just then, a mocking voice came from behind her, "No, although the Education Commission office is really big, it's not a place for Soul Fighting, is it? As expected of the simple and honest people, they'll use any big place to fight, huh?"
The blue-clad youth frowned slightly, watching Xue Beng into laughter, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
" Tang San, right? Let's go outside for Soul Fighting. This is the Education Commission office; it's not good to break things here," Dugu Yan said slowly.
"Hmm." Tang San nodded slightly and walked outside with Dugu Yan. The Shrek Academy group went to watch, including Teacher Qin Ming. Just as the three education committee members were about to go, they were stopped by Prince Xue Xing.
"The three education commissioners don't need to go; they're doomed to lose. Miss Dugu's strength is extraordinary; even if all her students attacked together, they couldn't win," Prince Xue Xing said slowly.
Then, with a worried look on his face, he earnestly said to the three education committee members, "Three education committee members, please don't blame me for taking this opportunity to make a fuss. However, the academy is just in the reform stage, and everything must be taken seriously. There can be no carelessness. Although my words were a bit harsh today, they were all for the sake of our academy."
Meng Shenji sighed softly and replied, "We appreciate Prince Xue Xing's concern for the academy, but those children are indeed talented. Are we really just going to let them go like this?"
"There are many talented people in the world, but if they are of poor character, they will become a scourge to the continent in the future. If people find out that such a student comes from our Heaven Dou Royal Academy, our academy's reputation will be completely ruined."
"Moreover, these people's talents are definitely not as good as Miss Dugu's and Jun Yi's. We really don't need to leave behind a group of people with unclear identities, causing unnecessary trouble for the academy. What do you three members of the Education Committee think?"
Prince Xue Xing quietly observed the three education committee members, wanting to see their attitude. They, on the other hand, were caught in a dilemma. What Prince Xue Xing said did make sense. These students from the Shrek Academy were indeed not as good as Jun Yi and Dugu Yan, but their talents were still top-notch. If they were really allowed to leave, they would feel a little heartache.
"Let's see if that boy can withstand ten moves from Dugu Yan. If he can, it means he has talent, then..."
"Then I will no longer prevent them from joining the academy, and I will make Xue Beng apologize for his actions. But what if they can't hold out?"
"Then we'll just have to tell them to find other jobs."
Prince Xue Xing and Meng Shenji worked together to finalize the matter. Everything depended on the final competition results. If they survived, Shrek would be allowed to join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy; if they failed, Shrek Academy and its members would be expelled.
Meanwhile, Dugu Yan led the Shrek Academy members to the Soul Fighting Arena. Before the match even began, Qin Ming approached Dugu Yan and whispered, " Dugu, the person opposite you is my junior. When you make your move, could you..."
"Thank you for pleading on my behalf, senior. However, this battle concerns the future of the Shrek Academy, and we cannot afford to hold back. We appreciate your kindness."
Tang San realized that Qin Ming wanted Dugu Yan to hold back, so he interrupted her righteously. In his opinion, he could easily withstand ten moves from Dugu Yan, who was only a Soul King. If he used Hidden Weapon, he was even confident that he could defeat her within ten moves!
"Alright, good luck to you guys."
Qin Ming sighed softly and stepped aside. He didn't think Tang San could withstand ten moves from Dugu Yan. Some time ago, Dugu Yan, in order to become stronger, had volunteered to fight him in Soul Fighting, urging him to use his full strength against Dugu Yan. He had indeed done so at the time, but he hadn't expected Dugu Yan's current strength to be on par with his own! In fact, when using the " Dragon Transformation " skill, he had even been at a disadvantage. That's why he wanted to plead for Tang San, but Tang San didn't seem to appreciate it.
"Make your move." With that, Tang San extended his right hand again. His hands changed, becoming as white and flawless as jade. A Blue Silver Grass rose from behind him, and three Soul Ring— yellow, yellow, and purple—appeared on his back.
Dugu Yan took a step, and five Soul Ring appeared. Then, green scales began to appear on her arms. She then clenched her fist, and a dragon claw instantly formed, attacking Tang San in an instant.
Tang San immediately used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to narrowly dodge Dugu Yan's dragon claw attack, then dodged behind her, ready to counterattack.
Tang San placed his hands on the ground, and his First Soul Ring lit up. "First Soul Skill, Blue Silver Entanglement!"
Just as he was about to unleash his Soul Power, he saw that Dugu Yan had already deactivated her " Dragon Transformation " state and retrieved her Soul Ring. Seeing this, Tang San was puzzled; had Dugu Yan given up resisting?
The next second, Tang San felt the world spin, then everything went black, and he fainted...
