Tang San has been practicing the Mysterious Heaven Technique since he was a child and has his past life experiences, so he is much further along in the Technique than us.However, this allows us to have a smooth cultivation progress since he has already paved the way for us, allowing us to cultivate without the need to test methods. Of course, when he is away, we all come together and compare notes, we can"t just wait for Tang San to teach us everything.
Flander and the other teachers soon finished their negotiations with Meng Shen-Ji and the other two Spirit Douluo elders, they were all satisfied with their conditions and were preparing to leave.
Flander had already gotten up when suddenly, and arrogant voice sounds from outside, "Is Princ.i.p.al Meng Shen-Ji here?"
From the tone of his voice, the speaker obviously didn"t show any respect to Meng Shen-Ji. Meng Shen-Ji and the other two Spirit Douluo instantly recognised this voice as they wondered, "Why would he come here?"
Knowing that the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo is coming, I quickly used my Illusion Ice Transformation on Little Jing and Xiao Wu, hiding their Spirit Beast nature, now even if Dugu Bo stared them dead in the eyes, he wouldn"t know that they are Spirit Beasts.
Two sets of footsteps hurriedly approached the Board of Education, the door was flung open as they walked in. But, surprisingly there were three people instead of the two footsteps that were heard.
One of the people to enter was the pompous student leader, Xue Beng, that was beaten by Mu Bai yesterday.
Right now, Xue Beng was standing to the left of an older man, he had an intense expression of resentment towards all of us from Shrek.
Standing in the middle, an old man dressed in fancy embroidered clothes stood upright as he arrogantly walked into the room.
He looked slightly similar to Xue Beng, probably a relative. He gave the Board of Education elders a glance before looking away, he didn"t seem the least bit deferential to them and instead seemed to disdain them.
Tang San and the others also saw the resemblance of the two and thought that Xue Beng has come to get revenge, but all the teachers were focused on the final man standing on the right, they hadn"t been able to notice his movement at all.
To the right of the old man stood another old man. The old man was slim like a spear and both his hair and beard were a deep green colour. His eyes gave everyone a chilling feeling, as if they were getting stared down by a vicious snake.
He simply glanced at all of us before closing his eyes, simply following the old man in the middle. I tried to watch the old man walk, but I couldn"t see his legs moving at all, he just seemed to shrink the ground without moving.
Little Jing was frightened and started trembling in my arms, I stroked her back and lightly consoled her. She realised that Dugu Bo didn"t pay any attention to her even if she wasn"t hiding her aura and realised that I was using my Illusions to mask her presence.
She began relaxed again as Xiao Wu also began to realise that she was safe, she looked at me gratefully and I just gave a slight nod, if she was to continue to look scared and try to hide her aura then she will draw attention instead.
Meng Shen-Ji was the first to step forward as he bowed slightly, "Lord Prince, why have you come?" Meng Shen-Ji asked the magnificently dressed man in the middle, but all his attention was fixed on the green haired man.
The other two Spirit Douluo were also fixated on the green haired main, he is able to move without them noticing, meaning that he is at a much higher level than the three of them, so he is likely a t.i.tled Douluo.
Prince Xue Xing glanced at the people of Shrek Academy when Xue Beng whispered something in his ear. Prince Xue Xing nodded his head before asking, "Does the board members have visitors? Why don"t you introduce us?"
Meng Shen-Ji frowned at the att.i.tude of Prince Xue Xing, after all, Meng Shen-Ji is a Spirit Douluo and even a prince should be treating him with respect. But this person was in charge of Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, thus he couldn"t afford to offend him.
Meng Shen-Ji smiled lightly as he invited the group inside as he introduced us to Prince Xue Xing, "Your highness, this is Shrek Academy"s dean, Flander. He is here for the collaboration project we created. Dean Flander, this is his highness the Heaven Dou Empire"s Prince Xue Xing, the Imperial Academy is currently under his highness" administration."
Flander couldn"t be bothered to deal with this arrogant prince, but he still slightly bowed as he greeted him, "Greetings, your highness."
However, Prince Xue Xing didn"t even spare Flander a glance and coldly said, "Shrek Academy? I have never heard of such an Academy, so it is probably just some mediocre school. Princ.i.p.al Meng Shen-Ji, how could you allow people of such unknown origin into our Academy?"
In just a couple sentences, Prince Xue Xing garnered the hate of the entire Shrek Academy, Zhao Wuji looked like he was about to step up and beat him to death but was stopped by Flander.
Meng Shen-Ji"s expression was extremely weird, "Your highness, even if you use those words on us, you cannot use those words on Shrek Academy. Shrek Academy has cultivated countless outstanding Spirit Masters, our Academy"s Teacher Qin was also from Shrek Academy. Dean Flander and the rest of Shrek Academy are willing to teach at our inst.i.tution."
Prince Xue Xing had a stupefied expression on his face as he let out an "Eh?". Qin Ming was the most outstanding teacher at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy and was likely to become a t.i.tled Douluo by the age of 60. Now he called the Academy that raised him a mediocre school of unknown origins.
But he couldn"t back down now as he said, "Humph! They may have been able to cultivate a talent like Qin Ming, but that is surely because of his own outstanding talent. What is to say that they have another outstanding talent. Look at how many students they have, could it be that they are all outstanding talents like Teacher Qin, they even accept little kids."
The last one was aimed at Little Jing as she looked at Prince Xue Xing. She poked her tongue out at him and making a noise before hiding her head in my chest. I gave a little laugh as I saw Prince Xue Xing"s outraged look.
"She had a mutation during her Spirit Awakening Ceremony, so she grows three times slower than normal, she is actually 13-years-old." I give a small explanation.
Flander didn"t give Prince Xue Xing time to get angry at us as he spoke, "Prince Xue Xing, how do you want to test if my children are talented?"
Prince Xue Xing regained his calm after a couple seconds, he smiled lightly, "It"s very simple actually. All you have to do is last five minutes against mister Dugu here, then we will recognise you as talents immediately. However, if you can"t, then do like Xue Beng said yesterday, and immediately get out of here."
This time, it was our turn to get angry as Mu Bai was stirred up. He was about to pounce on Prince Xue Xing, but at that moment, Dugu Bo opened his eyes and glanced at Mu Bai.
His dark green eyes seemed to lack any signs of life, only displaying endless coldness with a grim and nefarious aura. Mu Bai was shocked as his body trembled, he let out a small groan before falling to the ground motionless.
I set Little Jing down as I pull her and the girls behind me, ready to use my Yin Ice Staff to create a barrier. Zhi Lin uses his vine to wrap around Mu Bai and forcefully pulls him to our side.
Meng Shen-Ji angrily looked at Prince Xue Xing, "Your highness, you must not be too excessive!"
Prince Xue Xing only snorted disdainfully, "What too excessive? As the direct supervisor of Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, I have the authority to decide on personnel matters. If you disagree, then you can go and complain to His Majesty. But until His Majesty says otherwise, I am still in charge here!"
"You—!" Meng Shen-Ji was speechless with anger.
Zhi Lin used his Spirit Ability to cover Mu Bai in a blue light as he woke up. Mu Bai shivered as he had a terrified look on his face when he remembered what happened. It"s to be expected, it is like when I got beat by Er Ming back then, we don"t stand a chance against a t.i.tled Douluo level character.
Dugu Bo released a green light from his body as Spirit Rings began to appear. A total of 9 Spirit Rings hovered behind his body as they gave off a domineering aura.
All the teachers from Shrek Academy and even the three Spirit Douluo elders changed complexions once seeing Dugu Bo"s 9 Spirit Rings. None of them had the confidence to contend with a t.i.tled Douluo. Even though Spirit Douluo and t.i.tled Douluo was only one realm apart, the distance in their power was as far apart as heaven and earth.
Yu Xiao Gang blocked the way of the furious Shrek Academy teachers and spoke to Dugu Bo, "With the distinguished name Dugu, and he fishy oppressive smell of poison. If I"m not mistaken, you should be the Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo."
Dugu Bo laughed, "I didn"t expect someone to still remember me. Correct, I"m Dugu Bo. Since you know who I am, will you still not get lost?"
Unexpectedly, Yu Xiao Gang nodded his head, with a calm expression, he said, "Fine, we"ll get lost. Flander, we"re getting lost."
He pulled Flanders hand and started leaving. Flander was angry that his Shrek Academy was disgraced like this, but he knew that he couldn"t implicate everyone else just because of his pride. If he tried to fight Dugu Bo, not only would he die, but everyone in Shrek Academy would likely die with him.
Yu Xiao Gang turned to the three Spirit Douluo elders as he apologised, "I"m sorry, seniors. Let"s forget about the matters from today on. We will never forget the elders" sincerity in the elders" reception. I"m sure we"ll meet again."
"Wait a moment!" Meng Shen-Ji had a determined look in his eyes as he turned to Dugu Bo, "Dugu Bo, let us three experience your poison."
Meng Shen-Ji and the other two elders released their Spirit"s in full force as they stared down Dugu Bo. When faced with three Spirit Douluo"s, even Dugu Bo can"t take it too easy, he squinted his eyes a bit as he grew more serious.
Flander sighed as he stopped the three elders, "Let it be…" he lightly saluted the three Spirit Douluo, "We have brought trouble to you three elders. Since Heaven Dou Imperial Academy does not want us, how could we ask to stay?"
Flander left with all of us from Shrek following him, Xiao Wu was a bit closer than usual as she dragged Tang San with her. She was afraid that she would accidentally walk out of my range and reveal herself to Dugu Bo.
At this moment, a young woman stepped in from outside, "Grandpa!" she threw herself onto Dugu Bo the instant she walked in, not caring about the people around her or Dugu Bo"s nine Spirit Rings.
Dugu Bo"s cold face immediately softened as he hugged the young lady, "Yan Yan, good, you have grown a bit stronger again."
We could instantly recognise her as Dugu Yan, the control system Spirit Master in the Emperor Battle Team.
Since we could see her, Dugu Yan could obviously see us as well. She looked at Tang San and instantly recognised him as the one that broke her poison. She hugged Dugu Bo"s neck as she whispered a couple sentences into his ear.
We had already left, so we didn"t hear anything that she said. We continued to walk all the way until we were out of Heaven Dou Imperial Academy"s land. We noticed Qin Ming following us a while ago but didn"t stop him.
Mu Bai was still angry at Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing, "Dean, we can"t just let things go like this, let"s rebuild Shrek Academy and make Heaven Dou Imperial Academy regret their actions."
Mu Bai spoke for all of us as he is the leader of the younger generation, we all nodded our heads in agreement.
Flander shook his head, "It is our bad luck that brought this upon us. I don"t know why, but I don"t have the slightest intention of punishing the Imperial Academy. Perhaps I have grown old and tired over the years."
Rong Rong also tried to console Flander by inviting everyone to come to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Castle.
Flander"s gaze softened seeing that everyone is thinking of him, he knew that all his decisions right now impacted not just himself, but all the teachers and students at Shrek Academy. He shook his head gently, "How about this, since we have already come so far, let"s go and rest at Heaven Dou City. As for what to do next, we can talk about it later."
We followed Flanders suggestions as we left Heaven Dou Imperial Academy and walked towards the Empire"s Capital.
The two places are very close together, so after a short while we were already able to see the tall walls of the Capital City.
