Tang Wutong stressed again:
"In our era, Shrek Academy was the strongest academy on the entire continent."
"They won every annual Soul Master Tournament! Apparently, that went on for thousands of years!"
"Lin Hao, you're slandering them."
Although she found it strange to see Shrek Academy looking so run-down,
how could an academy that had raised her daddy possibly be a scam academy?
Besides, when she had originally planned to sneak down to the lower realm, she had wanted to visit Shrek Academy.
In her memory, Shrek Academy was the strongest academy on the Douluo Continent. How could it have been a scam academy ten thousand years ago?
Qian Renxue sneered. "Judging by how this academy looks, it does seem like a scam academy."
As the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena naturally took a neutral stance. She nodded too:
"It really doesn't look like a legitimate academy."
Seeing that everyone thought this way, Tang Wutong was at a loss for words.
But she still planted her hands on her hips. Shrek would definitely prove itself.
The world of Douluo I.
Shrek Academy.
Flender grew angry as well and said:
"What do they mean, we're a scam academy? This Sky Screen is spouting nonsense."
Ma Hongjun mocked the Sky Screen:
"If Shrek Academy is a scam academy, wouldn't that make those of us who got scammed idiots?"
"Are we that stupid?"
Oscar couldn't help nodding too.
Then he shook his head:
"We're not that stupid."
This time, even the Shrek Seven Devils sided with Yu Xiaogang. In their eyes, Shrek Academy was a Monster Academy worthy of its name, not some scam academy.
The world of Douluo II, and the world of Douluo Dalu III: The Legend of the Dragon King.
"This Sky Screen is spouting nonsense."
"How could our Shrek Academy possibly be a scam academy?"
Seeing the Sky Screen say this, Shrek's students and teachers in both worlds were extraordinarily furious.
In their eyes, Shrek's illustrious name was sacred and inviolable. What right did this Lin Hao have to say that?
Besides, Shrek Academy was the number one academy on the entire continent.
If even that was a scam academy, wouldn't every academy in the world be a scam academy?
The modern world.
Looking at Tang Wutong's disbelieving face,
Lin Hao pointed at the animation and said:
"If you think there's something wrong with what I said, listen to what they have to say."
"Your mom happens to be next."
Tang Wutong huffed.
Mom would definitely be on Shrek's side.
But a moment later, she was dumbfounded.
In the animation, Xiao Wu questioned:
"Hey, Brother, look up ahead."
"No way! Can this even be called a Soul Master Academy?"
"Brother, did Grandmaster get it wrong? This place doesn't look like an academy no matter how you look at it. He's not scamming us, is he?"
Tang Wutong: "..."
Qian Renxue taunted her. "See? Even that rabbit of a mom of yours is smarter than you."
In the animation, Tang San said firmly:
"We're already here. Let's take a look first."
Yet the others voiced the same doubts as Xiao Wu.
"Is this some kind of mistake? This is the so-called Soul Master Academy?"
"The academy that claims you can become a viscount as soon as you graduate?"
"Someone from Spirit Hall said it, so it shouldn't be wrong, right?"
"Dad, I don't want to study here. It's too embarrassing. I'd rather go to Soto Intermediate Soul Master Academy. I was considered a genius at my elementary academy, after all."
"Well, since we're already here, let's wait a little longer. Maybe this is some kind of test."
Seeing this exchange, Tang Wutong planted her hands on her hips, her eyes lighting up:
"Exactly! How could Shrek Academy be so run-down? This must be Shrek's test."
A test? Seriously?
Lin Hao burst out laughing.
He really couldn't hold it in anymore.
Tang Wutong glared at Lin Hao:
"What are you laughing at? What's so funny?"
Lin Hao said with a perfectly straight face, "I just thought of something really funny, so I couldn't help it."
Watching this scene, Gu Yuena felt a sense of déjà vu.
She couldn't help observing a moment of silence for Tang Wutong.
Lin Hao was probably about to land a critical hit on Tang Wutong.
Sure enough.
After taking a moment to recover, Lin Hao said:
"Do you know why I call Shrek a scam academy?"
Tang Wutong curled her lip and said, "You're biased."
But Lin Hao shook his head and said:
"Fraud means fabricating facts or concealing the truth, exploiting an information gap to swindle money out of other people."
"And when those people try to recover the money they were cheated out of, the scammers refuse to refund it."
Tang Wutong's eyes widened. "You're saying Shrek Academy would do that? That's impossible."
In her eyes, how could the academy her dad Tang San had come from possibly be a scam academy like that?
Everyone at Shrek across the three timelines was angry too.
"This is clearly slander against our Shrek Academy."
"I bet one of Shrek Academy's rivals created this Sky Screen."
"How could our Shrek Academy possibly do something like that?"
The modern world.
Lin Hao said with a smile:
"Let me break down what those parents who came to sign their children up said."
"Become a viscount upon graduation. Does that sound appealing?"
Tang Wutong planted her hands on her hips and said, "It does, but so what?"
Lin Hao looked at Qian Renxue. "Why don't you explain it to our young lady?"
As someone who had gone undercover disguised as the Heaven Dou Crown Prince, Qian Renxue instantly understood what Lin Hao meant.
She explained:
"To strengthen the sense of belonging among the nation's Soul Masters, the Heaven Dou Empire established a rule: once Soul Masters break through level 40, they can apply to the imperial family for the title of viscount."
She asked in confusion:
"Could this Shrek Academy actually have set its graduation threshold at level 40?"
Lin Hao nodded and said:
"You can only graduate from Shrek Academy after surpassing level 40."
"So, saying you can become a viscount upon graduation makes it sound as though Shrek has connections that can secure you an official post and a noble title."
"In reality, they're just riding on the Heaven Dou Empire's policy."
Hearing this, Tang Wutong was dumbfounded.
Was Shrek really like this?
Qian Renxue didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Level 40 to graduate? They actually have the nerve to say that?"
"Even the Royal Heaven Dou Academy only divides its students into three levels."
"Those with Soul Power below level 25 are called Heavenly Minor Level; those with Soul Power cultivation from level 25 to level 30 are called Heavenly Supreme Level; students with Soul Power cultivation above level 30 are called Heaven Dou Grade-the members of the Imperial Fighting Team!"
"Those above level 40 are qualified to become teachers of the lowest rank."
"So this shabby academy, Shrek, requires its graduates to be qualified to teach at Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
Qian Renxue immediately felt somewhat insulted.
Although she had now smashed the already cracked pot and exposed her identity as an undercover agent in Heaven Dou,
Shrek's outrageous antics really made her feel as though she might suffer a brain hemorrhage.
She then asked:
"So that claim about becoming a viscount after graduating at level 40 came from someone in Spirit Hall."
"Was that another one of Shrek Academy's tricks?"
Lin Hao naturally nodded:
"That was also borrowing Spirit Hall's endorsement to make everyone believe more strongly in Shrek's prowess, so they would obediently sign up and pay their Gold Soul Coins."
Qian Renxue laughed in anger. Looking at Tang Wutong, she said,
"Wonderful. Our Spirit Hall helped your dad awaken his Martial Soul and paid him subsidies in Gold Soul Coins. Then your dad's academy borrowed Spirit Hall's reputation to rake in money, and in the end, he turned around and attacked our Spirit Hall."
"Looks like our Spirit Hall ended up being the honest sucker instead."
