"Hey, you guys..."
As the students left one by one, Li Yusong nearly coughed up blood. If he had been more tactful today, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
The elders were still standing behind. The key question was, what could they say about a twelve-year-old with level thirty soul power? Was his martial soul useless?
Hehe, show me how you cultivate one when you're twelve.
After that conversation, more people left.
Tang San remained unmoved because of the Grandmaster's influence, while Xiao Wu was trembling with fear, afraid of being noticed by the Soul Douluo Dragon Lord. Naturally, her third brother, who was with her, could not leave either.
Ning Rongrong was indifferent. She didn't care about Soul Saints or anything like that. Her family had more than a dozen Soul Douluos, not to mention her Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone, who were Title Douluos at the top of the food chain. She was just there to have fun and watch the show.
"If you tell everyone the registration requirements from the beginning, and those who don't meet the standards won't be accepted, there's nothing to discuss. You're opening a college and people want to register; it's a matter of mutual consent."
"But, Shrek's Soul Saint, you only spoke up after they had paid the registration fee, and the registration fee is non-refundable. You've really taken bullying the weak to the extreme."
"When you saw my Fire Seed Martial Soul, you clearly had a cold and dismissive attitude. However, because the aura that Qinglian accidentally revealed while it was in a semi-awakened state made you, a Soul Saint, sense something was wrong, you gave me a so-called special admission spot."
Am I right?
Jiang Xuan smiled faintly and said, "I'm sorry, it was a really stupid thing for me to enroll in your Shrek Academy."
"Don't go too far!" Dai Mubai roared.
"Too much?"
"Am I being unreasonable?"
Facing the ruffled white cat, Jiang Xuan's expression was cold as he said, "If I'm going too far, then wasn't Shrek Academy's initial behavior even more excessive?"
"You traveled a long way to the academy to register, only to be called a useless martial soul possessor, and even insulted by others, and now you're turning around and blaming me."
"What a double standard!"
"Mr. White Tiger, may I ask you, someone who can't even beat me with my useless martial spirit, was recruited by Shrek Academy and taught to be even worse than a piece of trash?"
Say it again!
"Mu Bai, step back!"
Jiang Xuan showed absolutely no mercy, and Flander, who was already in the wrong, could only suppress his anger and order his disciple to step back. Previously, when this kid's martial soul was still in the fire seed state, he was able to fight against Mu Bai. Now that he has reached level 30, the power of his flames has increased to a new level, which is something that the White Tiger, which is restrained, cannot handle.
Tang San, who possessed the Blue Silver Grass martial soul, deeply understood this point. Although the Blue Silver Grass was extremely weak, its innate resilience meant that it had never been suppressed by martial souls.
However, in front of Jiang Xuan after his martial soul had awakened for the second time, the Blue Silver Grass actually emitted that trembling emotion automatically.
Only the highest-level martial souls can possess the ability to make a martial soul tremble in fear.
Yes, according to the teacher's records, Dragon Lord and Snake Lady were beings capable of fighting against Title Douluo. Although it's unclear why their descendant has the surname Jiang, it's not surprising that he possesses a top-tier martial soul.
The Dragon Staff of the Dragon Lord is one of the top-tier martial souls, since any martial soul involving the character "dragon" is unlikely to be bad.
Tang San understood the dean's considerations to some extent, but it was from the perspective of a master. The academy would never stoop to begging the other party to join.
Since they had already refused, it would be normal to give them a chance to be admitted through special consideration, which would mean accepting them into the college regardless of their performance.
I just didn't expect things to get out of control like this.
Are you angry?
Feeling frustrated?
Jiang Xuan's eyes were cold, just like a snake's eyes, and the blue lotus mark that appeared between his eyebrows made his temperament even more eerie.
If you were originally influenced by the original work to want to join Shrek Academy and the main characters, then from all perspectives, they have no conflict of interest.
But reality is far from what is depicted in the novel; what good people could Flander and Zao Wou-Ki be?
If his elder wasn't Long Gong, an 89th-level Soul Douluo, or even just one level lower, the chances of him bowing his head and apologizing now wouldn't be that person.
This is Douluo Continent. Tsk tsk tsk, in a world where strength reigns supreme, the teaching philosophy of an academy is that those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre.
It's truly laughable that I once had a good impression of such morally reprehensible teaching methods.
Think about it carefully: a chicken that can't control its evil fire, a white cat that wastes its talent and has a weak foundation, and Tang San basically relies on his own Xuan Tian Gong and Tang Sect hidden weapons. As for Xiao Wu? What can a few people in their fifties teach a 100,000-year-old soul beast?
The only two with any talent left are Oscar and Ning Rongrong. Ning Rongrong? A pampered rich girl, she's not even as talented as Zhu Zhuqing.
Jiang Xuan was now at peace. He had met the main characters and almost joined Shrek Academy. Although the outcome wasn't great, he had finally resolved his long-standing obsession.
Although the relationship might not be as harmonious next time we meet.
Goodbye, I'm leaving now!
"If anyone is interested in joining my Dragon-Snake Clan, feel free to contact me. Once we establish a sect, the restrictions won't be as severe as with a clan. You might want to consider it."
"Killing someone is like killing their spirit," Jiang Xuan said with a smile as his expression changed. "Those who can reach level 20 at such a young age are all top-notch Soul Masters. We can poach Shrek Academy's members without any psychological pressure."
"Haha, yes, I, Meng Shu, welcome all of you young friends to visit the sect I am about to open."
The shrewd Long Gong could easily see that the students on the field were all quite talented; otherwise, Xiao Xuanzi wouldn't have deliberately poached people from the other side.
"Hmph, goodbye and don't bother seeing me off."
Zhao Wuji was outspoken and in a bad mood. He had been beaten up for no reason today, and now that the "culprit" was trying to steal students from him, he was even less willing to be friendly.
"this..."
The group hesitated, as invitations from Contra were not available at all times. Immediately, some students who had already registered expressed their willingness to discuss with their families whether to join Senior Dragon's sect.
The main characters remained silent; no one spoke.
In Jiang Xuan's eyes, silence is the best form of communication. Hehehe, let's see if the Shrek Seven Devils in the original story can still unite after this kind of attack on their morale.
Before leaving, Jiang Xuan gave Zhu Zhuqing a meaningful look.
It wasn't that he was lusting after her body. Although Zhu Zhuqing, who was younger than him at twelve, was incredibly well-developed, with a pair of breasts more exaggerated than an adult's, Jiang Xuanzhen wasn't focused on that.
He knew that Zhu Zhuqing, who longed to become stronger, would be swayed after seeing her "useless fiancé's" performance at the academy, both in her attitude towards Dai Mubai and Shrek Academy.
She was unwilling to submit to fate, and it could be said that she was the easiest of the Shrek Seven Devils to break free from.
Just wait for time to tell. Jiang Xuan slowly walked to his two elders' side. It wasn't that Zhu Zhuqing was inherently rebellious; she was different from them. Others had backgrounds and could afford to lose.
She can't afford to lose!
