In the night sky,
the bright moon quietly hid behind the clouds, as if veiling its shy eyes.
In Biyou Village, inside a stone house,
the dragon and phoenix candles bought by Zhu Zhuqing were slowly burning, their fiery red flames flickering, and the melting wax dripping down the candle like tears.
Several spring breezes brought joy, orioles sang softly, and the rain had just stopped.
*Ding!*
Job change successful: Spirit Cat Knight.
Experience points: +1, +1, +1
…404…
At this moment
, quite some time had passed.
When the night is alluring, what enters the body isn't necessarily drowsiness.
But,
at this moment, Shrek and the others were indeed feeling sleepy. They had been marching rapidly from Soto City to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Now, they were being pressured by an unknown Title Douluo.
Their bodies were already very tired.
Fortunately,
they had arrived outside the city gate.
Just as they were about to enter the city, they saw a huge notice on the bulletin board beside the city gate.
As a four-eyed owl, Flander's eyesight was still quite good, especially since the Heavenly Dou City gate was very well-lit.
Seeing Flander stop, Tang San, who was already a little sleepy, immediately opened his eyes.
Yu Xiaogang also rubbed his eyes.
There, prominently displayed, was a recruitment notice.
"Hiring."
"Blue Tyrant Advanced Soul Master Academy, due to its own expansion, is now sincerely recruiting the following personnel: ten Soul Masters of level 40 or above. Those with high Soul Power will be given priority. Excellent benefits will be offered upon hiring."
Seeing this message, Flander said in surprise, "Why is the academy's advertisement on the city gate bulletin board? How much does this cost?!"
At this moment,
his mood improved somewhat, and his stingy nature reappeared.
Qin Ming, most familiar with the situation in Heaven Dou City, quickly said,
"Any advanced Soul Master academy that can operate in Heaven Dou City has a certain background. I don't know much about this Blue Tyrant Academy; its background is unknown."
"But in the preliminary rounds of the last Soul Master Competition, their team eliminated the second team of Heaven Dou Royal Academy." "
However, the students from Blue Tyrant Academy should have graduated this year, and the strength of the second team of Heaven Dou Royal Academy has increased considerably. I estimate they won't have much of a chance this time."
Yu Xiaogang stared blankly at the name of the academy.
Yu Tianheng, who was supporting him, was about to say something when Yu Xiaogang interrupted him.
He had already guessed the background of Blue Tyrant Academy,
but he had never considered
that Yu Tianheng wanted to tell him more.
However, since Yu Xiaogang didn't want him to say more, he didn't say anything more and
continued to listen quietly.
Of everyone, only Tang San noticed Yu Xiaogang's unusual expression and, connecting it to his teacher's background,
immediately understood.
"So, what is the scale of this Blue Tyrant Academy?"
Flander continued to ask.
"They're about a third the size of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. But since they're located in Heaven Dou City, their expenses aren't any less than the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's; they just don't have a royal background. I heard they only accept commoner students and reject all nobles."
Hearing Qin Ming's introduction, Flander's eyes gleamed with a sharp light and a hint of vengeful pleasure.
He immediately declared ambitiously, "Who says Blue Tyrant Academy doesn't have the potential to compete with the Heaven Dou Royal Academy in this Soul Master Academy Tournament?"
Flander glanced at the recruitment notice on the bulletin board and said calmly,
"Soon, they'll have one."
Zhao Wuji was stunned for a moment, his mind not quite processing it.
He asked疑惑地问道, "Flander, what do you mean? How come they suddenly have one?"
Flander patted Zhao Wuji's shoulder.
With a sigh, Zhao Wuji said, "Wuji, I've thought this through on the way here."
"Our original Shrek Academy didn't have the qualifications of a true advanced Soul Master Academy. Re-establishing it is no easy task; there are far too many problems to solve. Just getting certified by the Spirit Hall is a huge hurdle. There are only a handful of people."
"Besides, we're all getting old. Must we suffer for my vague ideals?"
"Since this Blue Tyrant Academy seems good, let's go take a look!"
The last sentence
was a request for the opinions of the rest of Shrek.
Zhao Wuji smiled indifferently.
"You're the leader of Shrek, you can make the decision. Why ask us?"
Tang San nodded, a hint of hatred in his eyes.

"Teacher Zhao is right. Besides, it's not Shrek Academy's style to let this humiliation go unpunished!"
"It's all up to the Dean (Teacher)."
Ma Hongjun, Qin Ming, Li Yusong, and the others said in unison.
"Haha, good!" Flander finally smiled again and said, "Then I'll trouble you all to follow me. If this doesn't work, we can go back and rebuild the academy!"
"Alright, Flander, let's not stand here any longer. Let's go into the city and talk as we go."
Yu Xiaogang was really tired.
In the Education Committee, he was the one who knelt down the fastest and the most miserable.
"Okay."
Flander nodded and led the way inside.
No one noticed that
when Flander's eyes, behind his crystal glasses, swept over Yu Xiaogang's figure, a cunning glint appeared deep in his eyes.
Xiaogang, when the time comes, you'll have no choice but to obey!
Little did he know,
Liu Erlong had already found her true love and had been enjoying a passionate and intimate relationship for several months.
Ye Qiu had already planned to settle Xiao Wu and the others at Blue Tyrant Academy to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament.
Flander, leading the way with a sly grin, was about to step into the city
when he was suddenly blocked by two crossed spears.
"Halt! You can't go in," the guard said coldly.
"Why?!" Flander stopped abruptly, his smile vanishing instantly as he looked at them in confusion.
Qin Ming immediately stepped forward,
frowning as he asked, "As far as I know, Heaven Dou City doesn't seem to have a gate restriction, does it?"
The soldier, seeing Qin Ming's extraordinary bearing, dared not be presumptuous.
"Your Excellency, indeed there isn't."
"But His Highness the Fourth Prince specifically instructed us that you are not allowed to enter before dawn!"
"We hope you won't make things difficult for us!"
"What did you say?! Go to hell, you bird emperor!" Zhao Wuji roared, about to attack.
His title of Immovable King wasn't earned through pent-up frustration.
Swish swish swish!
Sensing the commotion, soldiers rushed down from the high wall, spears pointed at the Shrek Academy members.
"Wuji! Everyone, don't be impulsive!"
Flander immediately stopped Zhao Wuji.
Things were different now.
Zhao Wuji was now the vice-principal of Shrek Academy, no longer the unrestrained and audacious Immovable King!
Flander looked up, seemingly seeing a figure with black and white hair standing on a building inside the city walls.
If they forced their way in now, they might be killed on the spot!
How ruthless!
"Flander, where can we go now?" Zhao Wuji turned around, his back to the soldiers, his face extremely grim.
Tang San and the others were also incredibly humiliated.
Were they going to have to sleep on the streets outside the city gates tonight?
"Heh," Flander gave a bitter laugh, a laugh filled with endless hatred, his voice hoarse: "Didn't they say we could go in at dawn?"
With that, Flander led the way, turning back to the foot of the city wall and sitting down cross-legged.
Seeing this scene,
Dai Mubai and the others gritted their teeth and were filled with rage, but it was all in vain.
Yu Xiaogang walked over to Flander's side, sat down cross-legged, and was about to collapse.
"Everyone, please sit down quickly. Spending the night away from home is nothing new for Soul Masters."
"Everyone, get yourself together quickly. Tomorrow we'll head to Blue Tyrant Academy for our job interviews!"
After saying that, he leaned against the wall to rest.
"Tang San will remember today's humiliation!" Tang San gritted his teeth and stepped forward to sit down cross-legged.
Dai Mubai felt even more hatred.
A prince, reduced to such a
state. After a moment of hesitation, everyone took their seats.
Only Oscar and Shao Xin remained standing. They exchanged a glance and both saw the disappointment in each other's eyes.
Shao Xin shook his head.
He walked to the foot of the city wall, chose a spot, and sat down.
Oscar had no choice but to follow.
The night was deep and quiet.
At the foot of the tall city wall, it looked like a row of homeless beggars were sitting.
