The Dean's Office.
Yun Ming stood quietly before Lin Feng, his white robes unstained by dust, his aura—which was enough to suppress the current era—now completely restrained.
"Dean, I have fortunately fulfilled my mission; I have invited the Ice and Snow Two Emperors of the Extreme North Land back."
Yun Ming bowed slightly, his tone indifferent; for him, this was a trivial matter.
Lin Feng, sitting in the chair behind the desk, looked up upon hearing this and revealed a faint smile.
"Thank you for your hard work, Yun Ming."
"It was my duty."
Yun Ming shook his head and then nodded slightly to Lin Feng.
"Since the mission has been handed over, I shall take my leave first."
"Go ahead."
Lin Feng waved his hand.With a faint ripple in space, Yun Ming's figure instantly vanished from the office.
It wasn't until Yun Ming left that the Snow Empress and Ice Empress, who had remained silent, finally withdrew their gazes.
At this moment, only the two of them and Lin Feng, who sat opposite them, remained in the office.
The Snow Empress's sky-blue eyes narrowed slightly as she calmly sized up the man before her.
She couldn't see through him.
She couldn't see through him at all!
In her perception, Lin Feng was bottomless, completely impossible to see through. She felt no pressure from Lin Feng, but she also knew that someone who could make a powerhouse like Yun Ming so respectful would definitely not be weak.
Before coming to this Shrek Academy, the Snow Empress had originally thought it was the Shrek Academy located in Shrek City.
Even the Ice and Snow Two Emperors in the Extreme North Land knew the location of Shrek Academy. After all, Shrek Academy had a legacy of ten thousand years, and... it wasn't as if no humans ever entered the Extreme North Land, so they naturally knew this information.
However... when they actually arrived here, she was even more shocked because this Shrek Academy was actually located thousands of meters up in the sky, and... it was above the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
With such a terrifying island floating above the Star Dou Great Forest, had the Beast God inside not noticed?
Or had that Co-lord of Spirit Beasts not sensed anything at all?
Or perhaps it was sensed, but because of this human's strength, they chose not to take action?
After all, Yun Ming alone had already given them an extremely strong sense of pressure, so... this Lin Feng would certainly not be any less. Taking action was indeed not a good idea.
Furthermore... with the technology to make an island float, this human power was clearly quite formidable.
Regardless, they had to be cautious on this trip!
"Dean Lin."
The Snow Empress looked directly into Lin Feng's eyes, her tone carrying a hint of testing, her voice remaining cold.
"You didn't hesitate to have someone bring out a treasure like the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow just to invite us two 'Spirit Beasts' here for a visit?"
"Such a price is a bit too high."
The Snow Empress paused, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes.
"What do you want to do? Just say it."
Faced with the Snow Empress's questioning, Lin Feng was in no hurry to answer.
He slowly lifted the teapot on the table and filled the two empty cups opposite him, as well as his own, with tea.
The tea's fragrance curled upwards, carrying a refreshing and soul-cleansing aura.
"Please, have a seat." Lin Feng pointed to the chairs opposite him and then chuckled, his tone casual. "Actually, my goal is very simple."
Lin Feng looked up, his deep eyes landing on the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress.
"I want to invite you two to formally join Shrek Academy and serve as teachers for our academy."
"What?!"
The Ice Empress was the first to jump up.
Her dark green twin-tails swayed violently with her movements, and her beautiful, cold face was full of disbelief—she even found it somewhat absurd.
"You want us two Spirit Beasts to teach you humans?"
Having lived for so long, the Ice Empress had never heard anything so ridiculous. Having Spirit Beasts serve as teachers for humans—in all of human history, such a thing had probably never happened before.
If it were transformed Spirit Beasts, it might be one thing, but... transformed Spirit Beasts were usually killed for their Spirit Bones as soon as they encountered human powerhouses, let alone becoming teachers.
The Ice Empress's eyes landed on Lin Feng, full of incredulity, even wondering if this human had gone mad.
The Snow Empress gently pressed down on the Ice Empress's shoulder, signaling her to stay calm, then looked at Lin Feng.
"Dean Lin, I also want to know the reason." The Snow Empress spoke slowly. "Although I must admit that the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow you provided indeed saved my life, and I, the Snow Empress, will remember this favor."
"However, you should be very aware that those living in this academy are all humans, right?"
"And the foundation of humans becoming stronger is hunting our kind and stripping us of our Spirit Rings and Spirit Bones."
"You want two Great Beasts who view humans as enemies to teach a group of human Spirit Masters whose goal is to hunt Spirit Beasts..."
"Don't you think that's too ironic?"
A mocking curve appeared at the corner of the Snow Empress's mouth.
Lin Feng did not show any embarrassment or anger after hearing this; instead, he nodded in agreement.
"You are right."
Lin Feng took a sip of tea, his expression composed.
"The current human Spirit Master system is indeed built upon Spirit Beasts. Humans hunt Spirit Beasts to obtain Spirit Rings and Spirit Bones, while Spirit Beasts also hunt humans. This is an irreconcilable deadlock between Spirit Beasts and humans."
Hearing these words, the Ice Empress snorted coldly and crossed her arms.
"Since you know all that, why are you still inviting us to join your academy?"
"Setting humans aside, even among us Spirit Beasts, there is a food chain where the strong prey on the weak. How could something like peaceful coexistence with humans be possible?"
"By having us be teachers, do you want us to teach those humans how to hunt our clansmen more efficiently?"
The more the Ice Empress spoke, the more absurd she felt it was. This human before her was somewhat unreasonable. Although he possessed decent strength, the proposal he made was simply too ridiculous.
In human history, it wasn't as if no humans had ever proposed peaceful coexistence between Spirit Beasts and humans, but the current irreconcilable conflict between humans and Spirit Beasts was the best proof that such an idea was impossible to realize.
The conflict between Spirit Beasts and humans has persisted throughout all of human history.
"Just as you said, even among Spirit Beasts, the strong prey on the weak. Therefore, the invitation I issued was only to the Ice and Snow Two Emperors of the Extreme North Land."
"What do you mean?" The Ice Empress's eyes flickered. "You want us to betray the Spirit Beasts?!"
That cold voice rose a few notches, and her tone carried a hint of anger.
Wanting her and the Snow Empress to betray the Spirit Beast race was impossible!
"No, that's not it. In my academy, humans and Spirit Beasts can coexist harmoniously because there is no conflict over Spirit Rings. You two needn't be in a hurry to make a decision. I've invited you here as guests. Whether you join or not, please decide after you've finished touring this academy."
Lin Feng said with a light chuckle.
Hearing Lin Feng's words, the Snow Empress and Ice Empress couldn't help but frown.
No conflict over Spirit Rings? What was this human talking about? How was that possible?
