Not Enough People? I'm Afraid the Academy Won't Have Room!

Not Enough People? I'm Afraid the Academy Won't Have Room!

Flender's words left Zhao Wuji and the other teachers present dumbfounded.

But soon, they came to terms with it.

Zhao Wuji burst into laughter. "Haha, Flender, you're still the same headmaster you were back then!"

Why had he come to this backwater place to become a teacher in the first place? Wasn't it because he couldn't stand Spirit Hall's bullshit?

But if they followed the Grandmaster and his disciple's approach, they would only be creating another "Spirit Hall"!

Perhaps one even worse than the original!

Teacher Li, whose martial soul was the Dragon Pattern Staff, also said with a smile:

"This is what a true academy should be like!"

After that, Teacher Lu of Xing Luoqi and Candy Bean Teacher also voiced their support.

In an instant, the situation was completely reversed.

Yu Xiaogang said in disbelief, "You really believe him?"

Born into one of the Top Three Sects and shaped by his past experiences, he believed the Soul Master world was one where the weak were prey to the strong!

Flender said with emotion, "Xiaogang, we agree with Chen Feng's ideals."

That had been his original purpose in founding the academy.

To let Soul Masters without backgrounds shine as well!

Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang turned his gaze toward Chen Feng. The hatred in his eyes could no longer be concealed.

It was all this brat's fault!

If not for him, how could things have turned out like this?!

With his personality, how could he blame himself?

Everything was because the world was unfair!

"Then I won't stay at this academy either!" Yu Xiaogang shouted angrily.

Flender was utterly shocked by those words.

"Xiaogang, you..."

Before Flender could finish, Yu Xiaogang cut him off.

"Our ideals differ. There's no point in staying together!"

"I'll prove that my theories and ideals are the best. At the Pan-continental Soul Master Competition, Little San will win the championship!"

Then, he turned his gaze toward Ning Rongrong and Oscar, speaking gently.

"You two little ones, do you want to remain at the academy?"

"I..." Ning Rongrong hesitated briefly before immediately saying, "No, I support your theories, Grandmaster!"

Why had she run away from home?

Wasn't it because of her family and Chen Feng?

Now that things had come to this, how could she possibly remain at Shrek Academy?

"Good!" Yu Xiaogang nodded in satisfaction.

With the young mistress of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect supporting him, would he have to worry about resources in the future?

Moreover, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda was known as the number-one support martial soul on the continent. With Ning Rongrong joining him, he was one step closer to success!

Yu Xiaogang then turned his gaze toward Oscar. "What about your decision?"

Oscar's expression was filled with struggle. Flender had been the one to discover him in the first place.

But now, he realized that this academy truly did not seem like a place worth staying in.

Flender's expression was solemn, yet he forced out a smile.

"Shrek Academy is free to come and go from. Make your own decision."

At that moment, Ning Rongrong's eyes reddened as she spoke through tears.

"Oscar, aren't you willing to leave with me?"

Seeing Ning Rongrong like this, Oscar's heart softened. He turned toward Flender and said:

"Headmaster, I... want to follow the Grandmaster."

At last, he had made up his mind. He no longer wanted to stay at Shrek Academy.

Since that was the case, why not choose to be with Ning Rongrong?

Perhaps if he worked a little harder, he could win Rong Rong's heart!

Oscar's thoughts began stirring once more.

"You!"

Flender stared at him in shock and disbelief.

Oscar had actually chosen to leave?

Yu Xiaogang shifted his gaze to Xiao Wu.

"Xiao Wu, what is your choice?"

Before Xiao Wu could answer, Tang San hurriedly said:

"Xiao Wu, don't you want to follow your brother?"

In his view, Xiao Wu had shared six years of sibling-like affection with him. She would surely choose carefully.

Yet Xiao Wu did not hesitate at all. She lowered her voice and said:

"I'm sorry, Third Brother. I like Chen Feng, and I admire his ideals even more."

"I..." Tang San was so overcome with rage that he nearly spat out blood on the spot.

Ding! Congratulations, Host. You successfully dealt a blow to the Son of Destiny's mindset. Reward: 3,000 Villain Points!

Current Villain Points: 5,200!

Ding! Congratulations, Host. You successfully stole the Son of Destiny's opportunity involving a friend. Main Quest progress increased by 5%!

Current Main Quest progress: 48%!

As the system notifications sounded, Chen Feng was overjoyed.

Tonight's split had actually increased things by so much in one go!

Three thousand Villain Points might seem like a lot.

In truth, it was the accumulated result of repeatedly dealing blows to Tang San over the past several days. Only now, with Tang San's mindset completely shattered, had he received this reward.

As for the five percent Main Quest progress, it also encompassed quite a bit.

The Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape behind Xiao Wu, as well as the forces behind Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, were all tremendous opportunities!

That was why the Main Quest progress had risen by five percent in an instant!

Yu Xiaogang left.

Tang San, Ning Rongrong, and Oscar left with him.

Dai Mubai looked into the distance, feeling somewhat wistful.

No one would have expected that just a few days ago, everyone had still been getting along happily.

Yet now, they had gone their separate ways.

Xiao Wu's eyes were desolate. If possible, she still hoped that Little San and Chen Feng could get along peacefully...

Unfortunately, the conflict between them had only grown deeper, until they reached this point today.

But Xiao Wu felt no regret at all.

If Chen Feng's ideas could be realized, low-level Soul Masters would truly be able to rise up.

Then perhaps she, too, could represent the soul beast world and save most soul beasts from cruel slaughter.

Though the hope was slim, one thing was certain.

Relying on Tang San was definitely impossible. What he believed in was the law of the jungle...

Chen Feng turned to them and said solemnly:

"There was nothing we could do about the Grandmaster and the others leaving."

"But as long as everyone in our academy stands united, we will surely rise to an even greater level!"

"Alas!" Flender sighed. "Easier said than done. We can't even gather seven people right now."

"Who says we can't? We'll have enough soon enough!" Chen Feng looked utterly calm.

He was exceptionally confident about this!

After a while, it would not be a question of whether they could recruit enough people, but whether the academy could hold them all!

"Let's hope so!"

As the headmaster, Flender could not bear to say anything discouraging. He sighed inwardly, I'll still have to think of something myself! Should I contact Er Long?

At that moment, Zhao Wuji recalled something and suddenly asked:

"Chen Feng, we haven't asked yet. How did your battle go tonight?"

At the mention of this, Xiao Wu and the others could no longer contain their excitement and hurriedly recounted what had happened that night.

After a long while.

All the teachers present were utterly horrified.

Flender's eyes widened as he confirmed it once again.

"You're saying that you even defeated the recently famous Mad War Team?!"

Zhao Wuji gaped. "And it was five of you against seven of them?"

The other three teachers could hardly believe it either.

"How is that possible? The Mad War Team's strength is plain for all to see!"

"A team with seven consecutive victories, all of them above level thirty-five Soul Elders!"

"Zhu Qing and Ma Hongjun are still Soul Grand Masters. It's completely impossible!"
