Douluo: Ant Power Breaks the Sky

Chapter 19 Conflict
The next morning.

Shi Yi habitually woke up from his cultivation state. The first thing he did when he woke up was not to wash or eat, but to take out a small notebook from his soul guide to record his cultivation time. The small notebook was densely packed with records of Shi Yi's daily cultivation time. Every time he advanced to a higher level, Shi Yi would also make corresponding records.

This has long become Shi Yi's habit, because it is the necessary data for him to analyze the speed of his own cultivation. Only through these data can Shi Yi know the changing curve of his own cultivation speed. According to these changes, Shi Yi will constantly make new adjustments to his own cultivation, so that this changing curve will continue to rise.

After years of conditioning and unblocking, according to Shi Yi's records, Shi Yi's cultivation speed has long reached a stable threshold. If Shi Yi's speculation is correct, this should be the so-called cultivation threshold of innate full soul power.

This conclusion is also in line with the reality. Taking Tang San as an example of a person with innate full soul power and advanced skills, through continuous practice over the years, his soul power level reached level 29 when he entered Shrek Academy. Shi Yi's soul power level at this time also reached level 27, only two levels lower than Tang San. Of course, he is two years older than Tang San.

"It seems that before the eight extraordinary meridians are opened, the speed of cultivation will not be greatly improved." Shi Yi murmured.

Then Shi Yi started to make his own breakfast, simple rice porridge with some river shrimps and simple seasonings. Just as Shi Yi was happily cooking the river shrimp porridge.

A familiar shoe-horn face appeared in front of Shi Yi.

Shi Yi looked at the person who came and pretended to be surprised and asked, "Senior? Why are you here?"

Flanders was not polite either. He took out a stool from his soul guide and sat next to Shi Yi. He did not answer Shi Yi's question, but asked Shi Yi: "Why didn't you sign up?"

Shi Yi was surprised and asked, "Who are you, Senior?"

Flanders' sharp eyes fell on Shi Yi, and he looked at Shi Yi suspiciously and said, "You kid, don't you know who I am?"

"Now I can probably guess that you are the old friend the teacher mentioned." Shi Yi said to Flanders.

After that, Shi Yi also took out a bowl and chopsticks from his soul guide, filled a bowl with porridge and handed it to Flanders, chuckling, "You probably haven't eaten it yet, try it?"

Flanders was not polite. He took the bowl and chopsticks and started eating with Shi Yi. He explained, "Your academy has too high admission requirements. Although I have reached level 27, I am two years older. It is not a big problem for me to go to school or not. I know everything the teacher can do, and I also know a little about what the teacher cannot do."

Flanders took a sip of the hot porridge and snorted, "What a big mouth you have! Can you improve or even solve the negative effects brought about by the martial spirit mutation?"

"I don't know if I can solve this problem, but I believe that this problem will not be more difficult than allowing myself, who has innate first-level soul power, to practice until now." Shi Yi said calmly as he sipped a mouthful of hot porridge with satisfaction.

Upon hearing this, Flanders couldn't help but smile, and then he said softly, "It tastes good. When you hear the bell, come to the academy grounds. You are enrolled."

After saying this, Flanders drank the bowl of hot porridge in his hand before Shi Yi agreed, put the bowl and chopsticks aside casually, and disappeared.

Shi Yi smiled and continued to drink the porridge in his hand happily.

After a while, there was a clang-clang-clang sound outside. Shi Yi calmly cleaned up the dishes and went to the direction where the bell sounded.

When Shi Yi arrived at Shrek's playground, all the Shrek Seven Devils were already there.

Shi Yi smiled and stepped forward, saying to Tang San and Xiao Wu: "Good morning, Junior Brother, Xiao Wu."

Xiao Wu snorted and ignored Shi Yi, while Tang San greeted Shi Yi honestly: "Morning, Senior Brother."

The eyes of the other five people were all focused on Shi Yi at once, with curiosity and questions.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Tang San asked with a slight hesitation.

"Junior brother, of course your senior brother is so powerful that he was admitted to the school without taking the entrance exam." Shi Yi chuckled.

Tang San nodded in realization, while Xiao Wu whispered, "Shameless."

At this time, Dai Mubai stepped forward slowly and said, "Boy, you can eat whatever you want but you can't say whatever you want. The dean said that it is better to have nothing than to have something of poor quality. No matter what time it is, even if Shrek Academy closes, we will never accept trash. We only want monsters. At the age of fourteen, you are already over the age limit."

Ma Hongjun also stood up, looking at Shi Yi's face with a hint of jealousy in his eyes, and said: "That's right, the teacher has run Shrek for so many years, and there has never been a backdoor person under his nose. Who didn't tie his belt tightly and exposed you."

Another boy with peach blossom eyes and a girl in luxurious clothes looked at Shi Yi, their eyes full of amusement. The cold girl not far away had an indifferent expression on her face, as if nothing had anything to do with her.

After hearing what the two said, Xiao Wu looked at Shi Yi with suspicion and wanted to agree with him but was stopped by Tang San. Others did not understand Shi Yi, but Tang San understood that with his senior brother's attainments in theoretical research and his knowledge reserves, he did not need to go to the so-called academy at all.

"You'll know when the dean comes." Tang San also spoke at the right time.

Tang San's words calmed down Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun. Although they still felt it was impossible, what if?
"Fatty, just give Xiao San this face." Dai Mubai said arrogantly.

Seeing this, Shi Yi also looked helpless. He felt that the unscrupulous businessman Flanders must be watching in secret.

While they were talking, Flanders came over from the other direction of the playground.

Xiao Wu was surprised and asked: "Isn't this the shop owner?"

Oscar introduced to everyone: "What shop owner? This is our dean, the founder of Shrek Academy, the four-eyed cat-owl Flanders. A level 78 Soul Saint. Even more powerful than Teacher Zhao. And he has a flying beast martial spirit. It is quite rare among combat soul masters. The fat guy is his direct disciple."

Flanders walked in front of the seven students and stopped. His unique hoarse voice with a hint of magnetism sounded, and he slowly said, "This year is great. We have five more little monsters. I, Flanders, the dean of Shrek Academy, welcome you on behalf of the academy. Later, each of you will pay 100 gold coins to Mr. Li, who is in charge of finance. Mu Bai."

At this time, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun both looked incredulous. Even when Flanders called out Dai Mubai's name, Dai Mubai did not even notice.

Flanders coughed and repeated, "Mu Bai?"

Dai Mubai came back to his senses, still keeping an expression of disbelief on his face, and pointed at Shi Yi and said, "How can the dean be exempted from the entrance examination? He is over the age limit."

"At the first level of innateness, he cultivated to the twenty-seventh level at the age of fourteen. Doesn't this person meet Shrek's admission standards? Doesn't this person deserve to be called a monster?" Flanders looked at Dai Mubai and said indifferently. Hearing this, everyone looked at Shi Yi with disbelief, and then their eyes fell on Tang San.

"I can prove this. Senior brother's innate spirit power is indeed at the innate level one." Tang San said lightly.

"Dean, I don't believe it! A first-level innate soul master may not be able to cultivate to the Soul Master level in this lifetime. Just relying on him?" Dai Mubai looked at Shi Yi with some excitement.

Shi Yi smiled slightly and said softly: "It's pitiful to be a slave to fate."

Shi Yi's words seemed to have hit Dai Mubai's sore spot. An evil light flashed in Dai Mubai's eyes, and he suddenly raised his right fist, rushing forward rapidly, straight to Shi Yi's chest.

In just a moment, Flanders appeared in front of Shi Yi and quickly and accurately grabbed Dai Mubai's fist.

"Mubai, are you questioning me?" Flanders clasped Dai Mubai's fist and looked at him indifferently. His sharp eyes instantly woke Dai Mubai up from his anger.

Dai Mubai glanced at Shi Yi who was not far away, a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, and he said softly: "I dare not, Dean."

Hearing this, Flanders slowly let go of Dai Mubai's hand, and Dai Mubai also bowed slightly to Flanders.

Flanders sighed slightly upon seeing this. To be honest, if Shi Yi was not a disciple of his old friend, he would find it hard to believe in Shi Yi's achievements.

"Okay, five more juniors are here. You should go back and rest, and try to restore your condition to the best possible level. The first class of the day will start in the evening. Oscar, you and Ning Rongrong are exceptions. You two follow me."

Flanders waved his hand and said: "Others can go and rest. Remember, get yourself into the best condition before it gets dark. Don't blame me for not reminding you. The teaching in this college is different from other places. You even will be in danger.”

Before Zhu Zhuqing slowly left, she glanced at Shi Yi and Dai Mubai. Dai Mubai stared at Shi Yi, as if he wanted to find Shi Yi's flaws and expose Shi Yi's "lies". Ma Hongjun also quickly slipped away. Although he did not believe in his heart that Shi Yi could cultivate to this level with his innate first-level soul power, but since the words came from his teacher's mouth, they should most likely be true.

Tang San was not in a hurry to leave. He wanted to see how the dean in front of him taught. Oscar and Ning Rongrong's martial spirits were both auxiliary, which should be the reason why they did not attend the evening classes. But what made Tang San very curious was why the teaching was conducted at night?

Tang San didn't leave, so Xiao Wu was naturally not in a hurry to leave. She stood beside Tang San and watched quietly.

Shi Yi, who had nothing to do, was not in a hurry to leave. He had no interest in Flanders' method of dealing with the little girl, but he was interested in Ning Rongrong.

Whether it is the wealth of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect behind Ning Rongrong, or the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Tower soul master's abnormal ability to identify special metals, they are extremely important to his research on soul guides.

Sure enough, after Flanders's long speech, he gave Oscar and Ning Rongrong a task.

"Your lesson today is physical training. From now on, run twenty laps around the entire village. If you don't come back before lunch, you don't have to eat lunch. You can use your own martial arts to assist. .Now, let’s go. Oscar will lead the way.”

"Yes." Ning Rongrong agreed and ran out without hesitation. Oscar looked at Tang San and others standing next to him with some resentment, then followed her.

Seeing Oscar and Ning Rongrong running out, Flanders looked at Tang San and Shi Yi helplessly and said, "You guys follow me."

Tang San nodded, and waved to Xiao Wu who wanted to catch up behind him, then followed Shi Yi and Flanders into the academy.

Flanders' office, which was also his residence, was not far from the place where Tang San and Zhao Wuji fought yesterday. The room was simply furnished, with only some necessary things.

Flanders sat down behind his desk and looked at the two of them, with a complicated look in his eyes. "How is your teacher?"

Tang San didn't say anything but fixed his gaze on Shi Yi.

Shi Yi nodded and smiled: "The teacher is very good, he can eat and sleep well."

Flanders looked at the two and nodded, then he fixed his eyes on Shi Yi and said, "You are really good at poking people in the heart. You should be able to see where Mu Bai comes from."

Shi Yi smiled and nodded.

"Don't blame me for not reminding you. Mu Bai is now fifteen years old and a level 37 Battle Soul Master. Although your achievements are very high, they are indeed unbelievable. You shouldn't provoke him." Flanders whispered to Shi Yi.

"If you hadn't taken action just now, I might have chopped off his hand because his martial spirit hadn't possessed me and he hadn't released any spirit skills, and he was underestimating the enemy." Shi Yi chuckled.

Tang San also nodded slightly. In Dai Mubai's state just now, even with three spirit rings, he was still a mortal. Shi Yi's sword, with the blessing of soul power, could still cut iron like mud even if it was the same iron essence.

Upon hearing this, Flanders' face darkened. Thinking of Shi Yi yesterday, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes and he asked, "Soul Guidance Device?"

"Yes, thanks to you, we have made some progress in the research of soul guides." Shi Yi said with a smile.

Flanders nodded and said, "Alright, although Shrek encourages fighting, it does not allow anyone to be injured. Also, you are not allowed to use your soul guides on students at will."

"I'm not a troublemaker. I make weapons for self-defense." Shi Yi said with a smile.

Flanders also had a headache looking at Shi Yi. It was obvious that Shi Yi was a thorn in the flesh. He seemed to be harmless on the surface, but once someone touched him, he would most likely get angry.

At this moment, Flanders suddenly felt that the taciturn Tang San was much more pleasing to the eye.

Shi Yi thought that he still had to make friends with Ning Rongrong, so he said to Flanders, "Dean, I have something else to do, so I'll go first. Xiao San has a letter from the teacher for you."

Hearing this, Flanders nodded and let Shi Yi go. Tang San took out a letter from his storage bracelet and handed it to Flanders.
