"Uncle, did you watch my match today...?"
Yu Tianheng's face flushed slightly, and he bowed to the Grandmaster with a dejected expression, his voice hoarse:
"I'm sorry, Uncle, I've disgraced the family."
"You silly child..."
Looking at Yu Tianheng before him, the Grandmaster recalled the image of the crying child from many years ago. Grandmaster reached out to help Yu Tianheng up before continuing:
"Child, I'm not blaming you."
"I watched your fight today. If you want to win, you must first put aside your pride."
A complex look flashed in the Grandmaster's dark eyes as he spoke to Yu Tianheng:
"Sometimes, the family's legacy and honor can not only be a spur to you, but also a prison that confines you."
The Grandmaster patted Yu Tianheng on the shoulder, and then continued:
"Of course, we will definitely have the chance to meet again in the future. At that time, I will prove to them that I, a useless person, have actually taught outstanding disciples!"
Upon hearing the Grandmaster's words, Yu Tianheng showed a hint of surprise on his face.
His eyes immediately brightened:
"Could it be...?"
"That's right." The Grandmaster nodded with a smile.
" The Shrek Team you're playing against today is the one I coach."
" Bone Spirit Cold Flame and Thousand-Hand Asura are my disciples."
"It was them!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Tianheng was immediately shocked.
Xiao Yan ventured deep into enemy territory alone, shattering the Black Tortoise's defenses with a single punch, drawing Yu Tianheng's attention.
Similarly, Tang San led the Shrek Team in a coordinated attack, even managing to break through Dugu Yan's poisonous fog, which surprised Yu Tianheng.
But he never expected that these two most troublesome people were actually his uncle's disciples!
"Uncle, since you are now teaching disciples, then I will also become your student."
Yu Tianheng looked on with anticipation.
This is what he hoped for.
"No."
However, the Grandmaster flatly refused, saying to Yu Tianheng:
" Tian Heng, if I were to teach you, what would those old fogies in the clan say?"
Seeing the disappointment in Yu Tianheng's eyes, the Grandmaster smiled and said:
"You are very strong. I only met with you today to remind you to be more composed. Your talent and Martial Soul are top-notch. Calm down, and you will definitely have a place in the future Douluo Continent!"
After saying that, the Grandmaster knew he shouldn't talk any further.
However, the words left behind by the Grandmaster upon his departure caused Yu Tianheng, who was hailed as a genius, to change his expression once again.
"By the way, you know the Soul Power Level of my two disciples, but do you know their ages?"
They're both just turning thirteen this year!
Thirteen years old!
Soul Elder!
Yu Tianheng listened to the Grandmaster's words, a sense of pressure appeared in his eyes, and a fighting spirit surged within them.
"Uncle... I will definitely catch up with them!"
"We're too strong!"
Along the way, the Shrek Eight Monsters were still immersed in the joy of advancing to the Soul Fighting Badge.
After leaving Suotuo City, everyone removed the masks they had been wearing.
When Ma Hongjun and his group returned to the hotel, they saw Flender, Zhao Wuji, and Qin Ming drinking around a table.
"Oh my! Dean, you're even drinking good wine today!"
Qin Ming, standing to the side, looked at Ma Hongjun and his group of twelve or thirteen-year-old children, his gaze falling on Zhao Wuji, and asked in surprise:
"Dean, isn't the academy already facing a cash flow crisis? How come there are still so many students?"
"Senior Qin Ming, it's me! We just met!"
After drinking a large glass, Ma Hongjun wiped his mouth before looking at Qin Ming and speaking.
Qin Ming was stunned upon hearing this. He carefully examined Ma Hongjun before speaking with a shocked expression:
"You are... that Evil Fire Phoenix from before?!"
Then, Qin Ming's gaze swept over Xiao Yan and the others behind him.
Seeing their youthful faces, Qin Ming was completely stunned.
"You... you're all so young?"
Although Qin Ming knew that the Shrek Team members were probably not very old.
But he hadn't expected it to be so small!
Judging from their appearance, they shouldn't be older than thirteen or fourteen, right?
Therefore, if it were a battle between people of the same age... Tian Heng and his friends would definitely be no match for these monsters!
Thinking of this, Qin Ming gasped and looked at Flender, saying:
"Dean Flender, this... if I hadn't also come from the Shrek Academy, I would really want to bring them back to the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy!"
"Hahaha..."
Flender was extremely pleased with Qin Ming's words, but his smile only lasted halfway before the Grandmaster's calm voice came from the side:
"It's not impossible."
" Xiao Gang, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Flender frowned and rolled his eyes at the Grandmaster.
Shrek Academy was the culmination of over twenty years of his hard work, and he was unwilling to simply hand it over to someone else.
" Grandmaster, that won't do! I was just joking."
Qin Ming quickly waved his hand, he was just marveling at the talent of the Shrek Academy students.
"Bringing them to the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, isn't that undermining Shrek's reputation?"
Qin Ming would never do something like that.
You don't need to rush to refuse.
The Grandmaster slowly walked over and said to Qin Ming:
"This is something I've thought about carefully. I don't mean to send them to the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy. We can have a friendly exchange between the two academies."
The Grandmaster's face showed a confident expression, and he continued speaking to Flender:
" Flender, does Shrek Academy have Mimicry Cultivation Environment that meets their training needs?"
"This..."
Upon hearing the Grandmaster's words, Flender and Qin Ming immediately understood Grandmaster purpose.
Your goal is...
"That's right, I'm doing this for that grand event a year from now."
The Grandmaster nodded and continued:
" Shrek Academy is not affiliated with either of the two great empires, so it has no spots available, while the Imperial Fighting Team has two spots."
"We can send the Shrek Eight Monsters to train with the Imperial Fighting Team Imperial Fighting Team, and compete under their name to win glory for Imperial Fighting Team."
However, I have a few requirements: First, we teachers must also enter the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy to be responsible for their daily teaching work; the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy is not allowed to interfere. Second, if we want to leave, the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy is not allowed to stop us.
Hearing the Grandmaster's words, even Flender had always been opposed, fell silent.
However, his mood remained low.
" Flender, don't forget your original intention when you founded Shrek Academy. And now, Shrek Academy lacks Mimicry Cultivation Environment, which is an indispensable condition for cultivation!"
"Alright!"
Flender growled softly, his voice muffled as he spoke:
"I understand. You two can discuss this matter."
As soon as he finished speaking, Flender turned and walked into the room.
He knew what the Grandmaster meant and could understand it; however, he couldn't help feeling reluctant to part with the academy he had founded for over twenty years.
I already knew Shrek Academy would one day close, so what difference does a little bit of time make?
On the other side, Qin Ming heard the Grandmaster's words and understood the Grandmaster's purpose.
After standing there in silence for a moment, he suddenly raised his head and said:
"I can agree to this on behalf of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy!"
Qin Ming was extremely excited.
He witnessed firsthand how terrifying the Shrek Team was!
Heaven Dou Imperial Academy is currently eager to recruit talented individuals, and it's simply impossible for them to refuse such offers!
After all, whether it's this group of terrifyingly talented Little Monster or the group of powerful teachers from the Shrek Academy, the Imperial Fighting Team is definitely making a profit.
Moreover, if the Shrek Team can really participate in the competition under the name of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, then the reputation of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy will probably reach a new level!
This is also why Qin Ming dared to be the first to accept the Grandmaster's challenge!
No matter how you look at it, Heaven Dou Imperial Academy is definitely a winner!
Even if the Shrek Team doesn't achieve a ranking in the end, such a group of terrifyingly talented monsters entering the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy will probably still have a very good effect.
