"Are you sure this is the Heaven Dou Royal Academy? Why is it a mountain?"
Flender looked at the mountain in front of him, then turned to Ning Rongrong beside him with a puzzled expression and asked.
"That's right. This is it." Ning Rongrong nodded and continued:
"This entire mountain belongs to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Heaven Dou Royal Academy, as do the forest behind it and the lake at the foot of the mountain on the left."
As Ning Rongrong described the scope of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Flender's mouth dropped open in astonishment.
"Surrounded by mountains and water, it's quite a nice place."
Zhao Wuji and the Grandmaster, who were standing nearby, said, "Looking at it this way, it doesn't seem like a bad place to retire in the future."
The group walked towards the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and soon saw the academy's gate.
"Stop right there! What are you doing here?"
Just then, at the academy gate, a young man who looked to be around eighteen or nineteen years old fixed his gaze on Shrek Academy and spoke in an unfriendly tone:
"This is the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Unauthorized personnel should stay away."
Flender's gaze swept over the young man, but he didn't take it to heart, simply saying indifferently:
"We are from the Shrek Academy, here to exchange ideas with the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Go and inform your academy's teachers."
"Pfft!"
Upon hearing Flender's words, the young man sneered, his gaze sweeping over the Shrek group before he spoke with obvious disdain:
"You guys? You think you can have a discussion?"
"I don't know where this beggar came from, so get lost! This isn't a place for people like you."
Among the Shrek crowd, Xiao Yan heard that familiar tone and couldn't help but think of the time when Grandpa Jack took him to the Nuoding Academy to register.
Back then, that doorman also looked down on people in the same way.
"Bang!"
As soon as the young man finished speaking, Flender and his group's expressions changed drastically.
As a Soul Saint- level expert, he was naturally displeased to be looked down upon and compared to a beggar by a mere student.
Dai Mubai, who was standing nearby, stepped forward and kicked the young man in the chest, sending him flying.
"Help! There's trouble! Someone's hitting people!"
The young man, kicked by Dai Mubai, immediately shouted loudly, glaring angrily at Dai Mubai.
Upon seeing this, the students of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy all surrounded Dai Mubai.
Unfortunately...
A group of seven or eight people couldn't defeat Dai Mubai alone!
"These are the students from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy..." Xiao Yan looked at the group, his brows furrowed.
"It's utterly useless, completely disorganized." Flender nodded.
Although a fight broke out, so many people were brutally beaten by Dai Mubai alone. Most importantly, this group had no fighting strategy whatsoever.
"That's normal. After all, in such a large academy, there will always be a few scumbags. It's impossible for everyone to be like the Imperial Fighting Team."
The Grandmaster was not surprised at all; the Imperial Fighting Team, which had fought against the Shrek Team, must have been one of the top students in the academy.
"Alright Mubai, stop fighting. If you keep going, they'll be crippled." Flender said, stopping the men who had been knocked down by Dai Mubai.
"Stop! What are you all doing?"
At this moment, a teacher finally arrived late from the depths of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
He merely glanced at the situation at the doorway, ignoring the groaning student on the ground, and calmly stood opposite Flender, asking:
"May I ask if you are a friend of the Shrek Academy?"
"That's right, I am the Dean of the Shrek Academy." Flender nodded calmly.
"Hehe, it really is you guys. I am Sun Buyu. Teacher Qin Ming has already made arrangements for you. Please follow me."
Sun Buyu led Flender and the others deeper into the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, ignoring the students lying on the ground.
On the ground, the young man who had just been brutally beaten by Dai Mubai heard Flender and the others' conversation, his eyes flashing with anger. He watched their departing figures and coldly snorted:
" Shrek Team? You've messed with me, I'll make sure you can't stay here any longer!"
Upon entering the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Flender followed behind Sun Buyu, marveling at the scale of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Even each step of the mountain climb is carved from white marble, with patterns of Soul Beast carved on it, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship.
Breathing in the fresh air, their mood improved considerably, influenced by the other students.
The most crucial reason why the Grandmaster wanted the Shrek Academy members to come to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy was for them to train in a simulated environment.
The so-called simulated environment cultivation refers to the ability to Simulation the most suitable environment for one's own cultivation based on one's own Martial Soul.
Just like Tang San's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, which is best suited for cultivation in the forest, Xiao Yan's Bone Spirit Cold Flame is twice as effective in places with abundant elements.
As the largest advanced Soul Master Academy in the Heaven Dou Empire, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy boasts over a hundred different Mimicry Cultivation Environment.
It is perfectly capable of satisfying the training needs of the Shrek Eight Monsters.
"The academy's main campus is located halfway up the mountain, Mimicry Cultivation Environment are scattered throughout the academy, both on the mountainside and at the foot of the mountain, and by the lake."
Sun Buyu clearly didn't want to mention the students who almost caused trouble at the door. Seeing that Flender and the others looked much better now, he took the initiative to introduce them:
"Currently, the academy has over five hundred students, mostly children of nobles from the empire or its vassal kingdoms, and more than fifty teachers."
Soon, led by Sun Buyu, the group arrived at the main campus. Sun Buyu led them to a reception room and told them to wait while he went to find Qin Ming.
After a whole day of traveling, the sky was gradually darkening.
"Dean Flender, you've finally arrived!"
Not long after, Qin Ming walked in from outside and respectfully bowed to the teachers as soon as he saw Flender and the others.
"Haha, don't be so formal." Flender helped Qin Ming up and said:
"We'll be following you around from now on."
"Dean, you're mistaken. Without Shrek Academy, where would Qin Ming be today?" Qin Ming Ming's expression turned serious as he addressed the crowd.
"I have already spoken with the higher-ups at the Heaven Dou Academy, and they warmly welcome all the teachers to join us."
It's getting late, so I'll take everyone to rest now. We'll meet with the college's higher-ups tomorrow to finalize this matter."
Qin Ming led the Shrek Academy students to a secluded courtyard on the side of the main campus.
The entire courtyard was spotless, and everyone had their own room; all their belongings were ready.
The conditions are so much better than when I was at the Shrek Academy.
Not only were Shrek's teachers extremely satisfied, but Xiao Yan and his friends were also very pleased.
Qin Ming spoke up from the side:
"I personally selected this courtyard. There is a path outside that leads directly to the foot of the mountain, making it convenient to travel to Heaven Dou City."
I originally planned to take you all to Heaven Dou City for a welcome dinner, but it's getting late today.
How about we just grab something to eat at the academy tonight? There's probably a banquet at the academy tomorrow, Professor Flender, what do you think?"
"Haha, you've arranged it very well. Let's do it your way."
Flender laughed heartily; Qin Ming had arranged everything extremely well in every aspect.
Everyone ate a simple dinner and then went back to their rooms to rest.
