Douluo: The Demon Swordsman of Tianshui Academy

Chapter 35 Shrek Academy

"Is this really the way to Shrek Academy?"

Looking at the increasingly dilapidated scene around her, Shui Yue'er asked a soul-searching question.

Qiu Ruoshui also nodded and agreed:

"Yes, I feel like this is not like going to a soul master academy, but more like going to a small village."

Although the other girls in Tianshui didn't say anything, the expressions on their faces showed what they were thinking.

"That's right."

"This Shrek Academy is indeed somewhat special."

Meng Qiu denied their speculation and explained.

"Come to think of it, you also know the dean of Shrek Academy."

"Oh?"

"Who?"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the women in Tianshui became confused.

They searched through their memories but could not find anyone who could be related to this so-called Shrek Academy.

Zhu Zhuqing seemed to be thinking about something, and guessed uncertainly:
"Could it be the owner of that shop who was beaten up by Teacher Liu Shuang yesterday?"

She and Mengqiu had only known each other for a few days.

Not many of them have been seen.

Meng Qiu said that she was also among those she knew, which meant that he was the dean of Shrek and they had met him in the past two days.

The only person Zhu Zhuqing could think of was the shop manager with a stern face who raised the price and then got beaten up by Liu Shuang.

Although that person's behavior doesn't look like that of the dean of a soul master academy at all, he looks more like an old liar.

But after all, he is a Soul Sage-level warrior, so he is qualified to be the dean of the Soul Master Academy.

What's more, the young master described Shrek Academy as a scam academy.

It seems reasonable that an old con man would be the dean of the Con School, right?

When Zhu Zhuqing said this, the other girls in Tiannv College were all stunned.

No, no, right?

That fraudulent store manager is actually the dean of a soul master academy like their teacher?

The girls looked at Meng Qiu, waiting for his answer.

Meng Qiu nodded slightly and smiled faintly:
"Zhu Qing is right. The dean of Shrek is the store manager from yesterday."

"Now you can understand why Shrek Academy was built in such a remote place, right?"

The girls recalled how Flanders gave them the 100 gold soul coins yesterday, which was like cutting off one's own flesh, and they immediately understood.

Indeed, if the dean of Shrek is that poor and liar Soul Saint, then it would be quite reasonable to build it here.

Liu Shuang, who was walking on Meng Qiu's right, frowned slightly:
"If that guy is the dean, how can Shrek Academy train good soul masters?"

As the dean of a soul master academy, Liu Shuang is more aware of the importance of an academy's financial resources and facilities to the cultivation of its students.

If Flanders, who treated even 100 gold soul coins as if it were a death sentence, was the dean of Shrek Academy, where would he get the financial resources to train students?

Does he have some special teaching method?

Liu Shuang thought doubtfully in her heart.

If Meng Qiu knew what she was thinking, she would definitely laugh out loud.

Does Shrek Academy have any special teaching methods?
Yes, and it is indeed special.

After all, no other soul master academy would adopt such a teaching method as letting its own academy run with stones on their backs and go to the great soul fighting arena to fight and make money for the academy, except for Shrek Academy.

To be honest, in the original novel, the greatest help Shrek Academy provided to these students was probably to hunt for soul rings.

"Teacher, there is no need to be confused. After all, the total number of students in Shrek Academy is no more than one palm."

"No more than one palm's worth?!"

Hearing Meng Qiu's words, Liu Shuang was completely stunned. A soul master academy where the students are not even as good as one palm, is this really a soul master academy?

It's clear that a few independent cultivators have gathered together!

This approach not only fails to bring out the advantages of college education, but also eliminates the advantages of individual practitioners.

Liu Shuang could only say that the dean of Shrek Academy was truly a talent.

Several people continued to walk forward.

After walking for about ten minutes, Meng Qiu and his companions finally saw traces of Shrek Academy.

On a door that was so shabby that it couldn't be any more shabby, there was a picture of an ugly monster hanging on it, with a few large characters written next to it:

Shrek Academy.

At the gate, a slovenly old man was sitting on a wooden chair, lazily testing the qualifications of those who came to register.

Behind him was a wooden table that couldn't be simpler. There was nothing else on it except a box made of wood boards.

There were a few large characters written in a crooked font:

Payment box.

This scene is totally unlike what a soul master academy should look like for enrollment, but more like a fundraising event.

"This is Shrek Academy?"

The women in Tianshui were stunned.

They thought that Shrek Academy might be a little shabby and simple, but they didn't expect it to be so simple.

Where is the soul master school then?

This is clearly just finding a room in the village to start teaching, right?
"No, Xiao Meng, why are there so many people signing up for this kind of school?"

Looking at the long line of parents and children, Shen Liuyu was puzzled.

With Shrek Academy's performance like this, is there really anyone willing to sign up?

In response to Shen Liuyu's question, Meng Qiu smiled and explained:
"It's very simple, because the dean of Shrek Academy somehow got the Wuhun Hall in Soto City to release a message."

"what news."

"Anyone who graduates from Shrek Academy can become an Imperial Viscount after graduation."

“Ah? Shrek Academy is capable of this, and can even decide on the empire’s titles and awards?”

Hearing Meng Qiu's words, Qiu Ruoshui couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

No matter how you look at it, this shabby Shrek Academy doesn't seem to have that kind of ability, right?

After all, they can decide on the bestowal of imperial titles, so why would they open a shop in such a shabby place?

"Of course I don't have that ability."

"So this Shrek Academy is false advertising?"

"Not at all."

"To be precise, this Shrek Academy is playing an information word game."

"Oh? Information word game?"

Looking at the puzzled eyes of the Tianshui women, Meng Qiu explained:
"What the Soto City Spirit Hall said is indeed correct. Those who graduate from Shrek Academy can indeed become Imperial Viscounts."

"But the problem lies at the point of graduation."

"The graduation requirement for Shrek is to break through to Soul Sect 20 years ago."

"And the Empire just happens to have a decree."

"Any soul master above the Soul Sect level who is willing to serve the empire can be directly granted the title of Viscount."

"So, do you understand?"

After listening to Mengqiu's explanation, the girls suddenly understood.

No wonder Meng Qiu said that Shrek Academy is a scam academy, it is indeed true!
