Chapter 55: I want to walk to the very top, step by step!
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang turned his head sharply, his eyes showing a hint of displeasure at being questioned.
He was the famous Continents Number One Theory Master; when did it come to the point where Flender, a nobody who understood nothing, could question him?
This was simply an unforgivable matter!
"Flender, are you questioning my theory?" Yu Xiaogang snorted coldly, speaking with self-assurance, "On this Continent, no one has a more thorough understanding of Martial Souls than I. You only see Mubai's surface exhaustion, but you fail to see that this training is a tempering of his will that I designed."
Saying this, Yu Xiaogang paused, and the image of Jiang Li's face, always carrying a gentle smile yet actually filling him with utter disgust, surfaced in his mind, causing a strong surge of jealousy to burn in his chest.
He must reach the very top step by step, making everyone who looked down on him pay!
Dai Mubai was his proudest creation, and he would not allow anyone to spoil it.
Flender looked at his old brother who had fallen into a state of self-intoxication, opened his mouth, but ultimately held back the words that would crush him.
To protect his old brother's fragile self-esteem, he could only sigh inwardly.
"Fine, you are Mubai's teacher, you have the final say."
...
At this moment, Dai Mubai, who was struggling and panting while carrying stones outside the village, already had his clothes soaked with sweat.
His legs felt as heavy as lead, and every step required immense perseverance.
Body aches, muscles feeling like they were being torn—a drop in Cultivation speed?
No, no, none of these were the problem.
Dai Mubai, whose mind had been clouded by the prospect of receiving support from Bibi Dong, had found a suitable excuse for himself!
This secret Cultivation method must be an unshared secret from the Pope!
As long as he'steadily and surely' broke through to Rank 30 under this arduous training, his Cultivation speed afterward would surely advance by leaps and bounds!
Moreover, at that time, he would receive the full support of Pope Bibi Dong and Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen!
Someone like Dai Weisi was merely a dried-up skeleton in a tomb!
On the other side of Shrek Academy, Oscar and Ma Hongjun looked with strange expressions at Dai Mubai who was training nearby.
Initially, they naturally trained with Dai Mubai; Yu Xiaogang pretentiously called it exercising the team's cooperation ability.
However, after training for a while, the two decisively chose to run away with their buckets.
They claimed that although they didn't know where Yu Xiaogang learned such an abstract training method from, the physical discomfort they felt was undeniable.
"Let's go, Little Ao. Boss Dai doesn't know what madness he's caught up in, listening to that buzz cut so much..."
"But according to the Dean's instructions, since we aren't training, we should go to the Academy entrance to help Teacher Li Yusong organize the new student admissions."
"Maybe we'll meet a few stunning junior sisters in this batch."
Ma Hongjun said this, displaying that lecherous expression on his face.
As soon as these words were spoken, Oscar also began to fantasize, immediately deciding to stop paying attention to Dai Mubai's training and quickly heading toward the Academy entrance with Ma Hongjun.
...
This was the time of Shrek Academy's annual enrollment season. Because of Yu Xiaogang's early addition, Flender, when publicizing the Academy, besides the previous claims that graduates could become nobles of an Empire and that the youngest Elder of Spirit Hall was one of their Shrek students,
He specifically highlighted that their Academy had welcomed the joining of The Continents Number One Theory Master.
This resulted in the area outside the Academy gates being practically packed with people. Li Yusong, sitting at the front table collecting fees, almost had his face split into a smile resembling a chrysanthemum.
And among the crowd, there was a little loli dressed in dazzling jewels, sizing up this Academy that claimed to only accept monsters.
This person was none other than Ning Fengzhi's dutiful daughter.
In earlier years, due to the talent of Jiang Li and Tang San, Ning Fengzhi had considered directly using their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect connections to place Ning Rongrong into the Royal Fighting Team.
It was worth noting that on the Douluo Continent, there was a saying: no team would ever refuse the addition of a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Not to mention that Ning Rongrong's Innate Soul Power was infinitely close to max level, considered exceptionally gifted even in the records of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
However, Jiang Li had unhesitatingly refused Ning Fengzhi's request.
He stated that this Sect Master Ning, who enjoyed scheming and flights of fancy, possessed a certain level of skill, and it was better for him to maintain distance.
The Heaven Dou Imperial Family, partly because of Qian Renxue and partly because they genuinely wanted to tie Jiang Li to the Empire's war chariot, saw Jiang Li's firm stance and did not agree to Ning Fengzhi's request to send his daughter into the battle team.
Chen Xin and Gu Rong clearly could not swallow that insult, and their intention to go and teach Jiang Li a lesson was stopped by Ning Fengzhi.
For no other reason than the presence of Dugu Bo standing behind the opponent, not to mention the unclear connections the opponent seemed to have with the Clear Sky Sect, Ning Fengzhi was unwilling to completely sever ties.
The Upper Three Sects were supposed to be closely linked!
As a shrewd businessman, Ning Fengzhi immediately opted for a backup plan when faced with this situation, arranging for Ning Rongrong to 'accidentally' discover Shrek, the school that only accepted monsters.
In his view, this small, insignificant academy contained Yu Xiaogang representing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Dai Mubai representing the Star Luo Imperial Family, and two commoner Geniuses with excellent talent—it was truly perfect for his investment!
"Father couldn't be lying to me, right?"
"Is this Academy really as amazing as he says?"
Holding onto her doubts, it was soon time for Ning Rongrong to step forward to test her Soul Power.
She proudly raised her right hand, and a seven-colored Glazed Tile Pagoda faintly materialized in her hand.
Li Yusong's eyes instantly cleared up.
Good heavens, truly good heavens!
That old fellow Flender actually managed to trick someone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect over.
Such a big fat sheep could not be allowed to escape!
He quickly composed the shock on his face and asked leisurely, "Do your family members know you came here?"
A smile of successful mischief curled the corner of Ning Rongrong's mouth. The Sect was so boring; she had used her world-shaking intelligence to escape!
"Doesn't your Shrek Academy claim to only accept monsters and teach all without discrimination?"
"Since I meet your enrollment requirements, do you have any reason not to accept me?"
Seeing that Ning Rongrong had pressed the point this far, Li Yusong stopped worrying about anything else and waved his hand, announcing that Ning Rongrong had passed this hurdle.
After all, in the end, he was just a teacher at the Academy. If any problems arose later, it would be Flender's issue.
