As Qin Ming and the Shrek Academy members departed...
Meng Shenji and the other two looked at Prince Xue Xing with expressions of disappointment and said:
"Your Highness, you've done a wonderful job in forcing the Shrek members away and alienating Qin Ming. I will definitely report this matter to His Majesty in detail."
Upon hearing Meng Shenji's words, Prince Xue Xing's face turned ashen. Without uttering a word, he turned and left with Xue Beng.
" Xue Beng, you've really made me suffer a great loss."
Prince Xue Xing frowned as he looked at the Xue Beng beside him and said:
"You'd better hurry up, otherwise, even if your uncle wants to help you compete for that position, you won't be able to get it."
It's just a pity that these three education commissioners are your older brother's men, otherwise...
How could a prince of a nation be short-sighted?
The reason he helped Xue Beng oust the Shrek members was because it involved a deeper conflict.
Since it cannot become his own power, he might as well completely squeeze it out; he would rather no one control this power at all.
On the other side, everyone who left Heaven Dou Academy had their heads down.
Everyone followed Flender quietly as they walked out of the Heaven Dou Academy. Even when they saw the beautiful scenery along the way again, they had no interest in appreciating it.
"Dean! Let's rebuild Shrek Academy!"
On the way, Dai Mubai suddenly broke the silence and said:
"I know you've always been reluctant to accept my family's funding because you wanted to maintain the purity of the academy."
However, we currently have enough Gold Soul Coin to rebuild the academy, and with us here, the Gold Soul Coin we earn from monthly Soul Fighting are also enough to support the academy's daily expenses!
One day, we will make Heaven Dou Academy regret it!
Everyone nodded in agreement with Dai Mubai's words and looked at Flender, waiting for him to speak.
"Forget it, I don't have any intention of rebuilding the academy for the time being." Flender shook his head, looking utterly dejected, as if he had lost all his energy.
Zhao Wuji suddenly asked, "Where are we going now?"
"How about... we go to my family's castle? It's not far from here. And..."
Ning Rongrong carefully examined Flender before speaking cautiously:
"Dean, rest assured, our sect welcomes every Soul Master and such a situation will never occur."
He's just a Poison Douluo, I'll have Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone teach him a lesson he won't forget!
Flender shook his head in refusal:
"Never mind, Rongrong, thank you for your kindness. But I don't want to live under someone else's roof anymore..."
"Dean Flender, I'm so sorry. Because of me, Shrek Academy has been disgraced. Please punish me."
Just then, Qin Ming suddenly stepped forward, knelt down in front of Flender, and spoke with a pained expression.
Flender quickly helped Qin Ming up and said:
"My dear child, how can this be your fault? It's just that we were unlucky. On the contrary, we've ruined your future."
Qin Ming shook his head and said with a serious expression:
"Without Shrek Academy, what future would Qin Ming have? I agree with what Junior Dai said earlier; why don't we rebuild Shrek Academy and make those people regret it!"
"Sigh..." Flender sighed and said:
"Alright, let's go into Heaven Dou City and find a place to rest."
No one offered any further advice; instead, they followed Flender and hurried towards Heaven Dou City.
The Heaven Dou Royal Academy was not far from Heaven Dou City, and despite their gloomy mood, the group did not spend too long before arriving at the Heaven Dou City gate.
The towering city gates of Heaven Dou City are ten meters high and wide, easily accommodating six riders abreast.
On the left and right sides, there was a five-meter-wide secondary gate, through which pedestrians entered and exited the city.
When Shrek and his group arrived at the city gate, Flender's gaze was suddenly drawn to a recruitment notice posted on the city wall:
" Blue Tyrant Advanced Soul Master Academy is recruiting ten Soul Ancestor of level 40 or above due to expansion. Those with high Soul Power will be given priority. Excellent compensation and benefits will be offered upon hiring."
Along the way, everyone's mood had calmed down considerably. Upon seeing the news, Flender's stingy nature was revealed, and he immediately spoke up:
"They're even posting recruitment notices at the city gates? How many Gold Soul Coin must that cost?"
As the youngest Heaven Dou Grade teacher at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Qin Ming naturally had a good understanding of the surrounding advanced Soul Master Academy, and explained from the side:
"The advanced Soul Master Academy that can be established within Heaven Dou City all have certain backgrounds, but Blue Tyrant Academy eliminated one of the two participating teams from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy in the previous All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament in the Heaven Dou Division."
However, judging by the timeline, that group of students has already graduated, so they probably don't have much of a chance in this year's competition.
"How big is Blue Tyrant Academy?" Flender asked, stroking his chin as he looked at the recruitment notice on the wall.
"It should be about a third the size of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and the academy's teaching is extremely rigorous. It also has a unique characteristic: it rejects all nobles and only accepts commoners."
"Only civilians are accepted..." Flender listened to Qin Ming's introduction, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes. After a moment's hesitation, he spoke:
"Who says Blue Tyrant Academy doesn't have the ability to compete with the Heaven Dou Academy this year? Soon, they will."
"Dean, you mean...?"
Flender sighed, turned to look at the Shrek members, and said:
"I've thought it through on the way here. Re-establishing Shrek Academy isn't that simple. We don't have things like simulated environment training or the qualification to be the only advanced Soul Master Academy on the entire continent."
There are just too many problems to solve...
But I can't let my pride hold the children back. Since Blue Tyrant Academy seems good, why don't we go check it out? What do you think?"
The main reason why Zhao Wuji and the other teachers stayed at the Shrek Academy was because of Flender.
At this moment, Flender naturally had the authority to make the decision.
Grandmaster already felt somewhat guilty about what happened at the Heaven Dou Academy, and now that Blue Tyrant Academy was an option, he had no reason to refuse.
"It's entirely up to the dean to decide!"
The Shrek Eight Monsters all looked at Flender with unwavering eyes and spoke.
And so, the group changed direction and headed towards the Blue Tyrant Academy.
Following the address in the announcement, Qin Ming, who was familiar with Heaven Dou City, led the way, and the group quickly arrived at their destination.
The gatehouse of the Blue Tyrant Academy looks almost the same as the city gate of Heaven Dou City, although it is a bit thinner, it is still ten meters tall.
The entire structure is carved from white marble, giving it an imposing appearance. Several large, gold-plated characters are inscribed on it: " Blue Tyrant Advanced Soul Master Academy ".
Just as they reached the entrance of the Blue Tyrant Academy, a middle-aged man of about forty years old came out from the gatekeeper's post and asked curiously:
"Are you all here to apply to be faculty members at the college?"
"That's right." Flender nodded and continued:
"These children are our students, and if we are successful in our applications, we hope they can also enroll here."
The receptionist did not immediately agree, but instead began to explain:
"The application period for new students has already passed, and they are also a bit too young. However, if you are able to secure their positions, they should be able to enroll in the college."
Generally speaking, outstanding soul masters enter advanced Soul Master Soul Master Academy at the age of sixteen or above, with most being between eighteen and twenty years old.
Although Xiao Yan and the others looked like they had grown a lot, they didn't look eighteen years old at all.
