Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

Sheng Yangyue finally discovered Shrek Academy's true heritage: stealing students. And Shrek Academy had even pioneered a new approach to stealing students.

When other colleges are recruiting students, they offer the most generous benefits. So what does Shrek Academy rely on to recruit students?

"I will apply to the academy's higher-ups to fully support your development"—not a word was mentioned about benefits or cultivation resources, not even a promise was made. It felt like the future Yan Shaozhe was much more reliable than the guy in front of him.

Zhao Xin waited quietly to the side. Shrek Academy was, after all, the strongest academy on the continent, having dominated the Soul Master Competition for ten thousand years—a glory no one could challenge. This young man before him must be incredibly excited right now, right?

But he was wrong. Sheng Yangyue and Ye Xishui were both speechless, and even wanted to call the person in front of them an idiot.

At this moment, Ye Xishui couldn't contain her curiosity and asked, "Teacher Zhao Xin, Yang Yue is able to receive the full support of the teachers after joining Shrek Academy, so is there no cultivation resource available?"

Upon hearing Ye Xishui's question, Zhao Xin glanced at her.

Although he hadn't seen any information about the woman in front of him, judging from his senses, this girl seemed to have good talent. Why not just kidnap her too?
After thinking about it, Zhao Xin felt that the idea was feasible and immediately said, "Classmate, you have to understand that Shrek Academy is known as the number one academy on the continent. The fact that the senior teachers are willing to do their best to cultivate you is already a great thing. As for resources, you will naturally have to fight for them yourself."

Holy Sun Moon: ...

Ye Xishui: ...

Good, good, good! You really treat the high-level teachers' dedicated training as a recruitment perk? Shrek Academy's dog-training skills are simply top-notch!

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have agreed immediately, but Sheng Yangyue and Ye Xishui are not ordinary people.

Sheng Yangyue finally responded, "Teacher, I think the Sun and Moon Royal Academy is quite good, so thank you for recruiting me."

Ye Xishui felt relieved when she heard Sheng Yangyue's refusal.

She knew in her heart that if Yang Yue agreed now, she would have no way to get away. Only when Zhongli Laogui saw Mu En and Long Xiaoyao would she have a chance to leave.

Zhao Xin had been hoping to see Sheng Yangyue and Ye Xishui excitedly holding his hands and begging to join, but instead of seeing that, he heard Sheng Yangyue refuse.

This stunned him, and he couldn't help but rub his ears, wondering if he had misheard.

"What did you say?"

“Thank you for your kindness, teacher, but Shrek Academy is not suitable for me,” Sheng Yangyue replied again. Now was clearly not the time to go to Shrek Academy; the person beside her, who possessed half of the Soul Master's Luck, could only be subdued after the Soul Master Competition.

This was the first time Zhao Xin had ever heard a refusal, and a look of disbelief appeared on his previously calm face.

You should know that when he extended the invitation on behalf of Shrek Academy, it was seen as an incredible opportunity by outsiders—so many families would do anything to send their children there, yet this young man refused without hesitation.

This was something he had never encountered before in his life.

However, after a brief moment of shock, Zhao Xin quickly regained his composure.

He stared at Sheng Yangyue in front of him, thinking to himself: No wonder this young man dared to declare war on the Shrek team, he is indeed extraordinary.

Sheng Yangyue quietly met Zhao Xin's gaze, slightly surprised: this guy only shocked for a moment before regaining his composure, without becoming angry or embarrassed. It seems he still lacks a bit of "essence" compared to the Supreme Elder Xuanzi. "Little guy..." Zhao Xin was about to speak when he was interrupted by a voice.

"Professor Zhao, isn't it inappropriate for you to suddenly target a teacher in our department? You even seem to be trying to poach them on the spot?"

Zhao Xin looked in the direction of the voice and saw an old man helping Teacher Zhou, whom he had thrown out, walk over. He asked, "Who are you?"

"Dean Chen of the Sun Moon Royal Academy." After setting Teacher Zhou down, Elder Chen instantly appeared in front of Sheng Yangyue and Ye Xishui, protecting them behind him. His gaze was calm but carried a hint of danger. "Teacher Zhao, this is the Sun Moon Empire. Can't your Shrek Academy tone down its poaching of students?"

As an old man who had lived most of his life, Old Chen had naturally heard about Shrek Academy's style of doing things—as long as they saw a student with even a little talent, they would try every means to recruit them into their academy, completely disregarding the other academy's reputation.

I never expected them to actually target my own Sun Moon Royal Academy today. They've got some nerve!
If they succeed in digging, what will become of the Sun Moon Empire's reputation?

Hearing Elder Chen's question, Zhao Xin's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled and said, "Dean Chen, as the saying goes, everyone has a heart that loves talent."

"It's not easy to find such a genius who can utilize a spatial martial soul. As a teacher at Shrek Academy, I really can't bear to see him buried in obscurity at Sun Moon Royal Academy."

Zhao Xin's words were not only an explanation, but also an implication that the Sun Moon Royal Academy might not be able to teach such students well.

Having lived for so long, Old Chen naturally understood the implied meaning.

"Hehe~ You don't need to worry about that." Old Chen retorted, "As the dean, I will naturally provide them with the best resources, unlike your college, which only knows how to say 'fully cultivate' and then disappears after the students enter the college."

"Could you explain this to me? Or perhaps explain it to the two students behind me?"

puff……

Sheng Yangyue couldn't help but laugh out loud. Old Chen had really done his homework; Shrek Academy was indeed just like that!

Chen Lao and Zhao Xin ignored Sheng Yangyue's laughter and stared at each other with tense expressions.

The millennia-old feud between Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Academy has never ceased since the outbreak of that war.

In the end, Zhao Xin stopped arguing with Elder Chen. Perhaps intentionally avoiding the previous issue, he turned his gaze to Sheng Yangyue and said, "Sheng Yangyue, I hope you will think it over carefully. Shrek Academy is more suitable for you than wasting your time at the Sun Moon Royal Academy." After saying that, Zhao Xin did not look at Elder Chen again and walked straight past him out of the hotel.

"Take care, and don't bother seeing me off." Old Chen only said these four words before immediately telling Sheng Yangyue and Ye Xishui to leave with him, and also helping up Old Zhou who was lying to the side.

Old Zhou is really in a bad situation.

He was originally in charge of recording data from various colleges, but unexpectedly, he was temporarily assigned by Vice Dean Kong to escort Yang Yue and Xi Shui back to the hotel. On the way, they bumped into a teacher from Shrek Academy.

The other party tossed him aside like trash, but fortunately, Dean Chen of the college arrived in time to prevent him from falling into an even worse situation.

Otherwise, he would truly have let down the vice-dean, the academy, and even more so, the empire...
