Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

Chapter 284 The Empty Shrek Academy
The vast sky has no shortage of money, but it lacks crucial intelligence for missions.

After all, gathering intelligence is also part of the training process.

Thinking of this, he asked, "I heard that there are thieves around nearby, which even alarmed the Spirit Hall?"

The young man said suspiciously, "Then you must have misheard. There are no thieves around here, but there are a few mountain strongholds."

As he spoke, he complained that the number of people coming to the Green Forest to hunt souls had decreased sharply due to the rampant banditry, which had greatly affected their team's business.

It's important to know that each Soul Hunter team has its own business scope.

If a "market" with lush green forests ventures into other forests, it will be suppressed by other Soul Hunting teams.

"The Spirit Hall did send people to suppress the bandits, but after only two days, the matter was dropped and nothing came of it."

"That's all the free content. If you want to know more about the bandits, you'll need to pay me ten gold soul coins. Whether you want to listen or not is up to you."

As expected, Qian Gu Chang Kong took out ten gold soul coins from his pocket.

After receiving the money, the young man became enthusiastic and began to explain the situation of the village.

The two were looking for Qingfeng Village, and the young man happened to explain the situation.

"Qingfeng Village is the most powerful stronghold in the vicinity. Its leader possesses the strength of a Soul King, and there are few people around here who can rival him."

There are only a few small cities near the Green Forest, and the strongest among them is only a high-level Soul Master.

It is indeed difficult to wipe out a mountain stronghold with a Soul King level expert.

As for the location of Qingfeng Village, the young man dared not say, nor did he know.

After all, their Soul Hunting Team was also being suppressed by Qingfeng Village. If they angered them, they would have no business to do.

Having obtained the information they wanted, Qian Gu Chang Kong and Chen Ping temporarily settled in the town.

They were in no hurry to take action until they had gathered sufficient information.

……

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Shrek and his group walked back to Heaven Dou City without stopping for a moment.

The previous ambush led them to believe that it was the work of the Spirit Hall.

To escape the clutches of the Spirit Hall, they dared not look back!
But can the current Heavenly Dou City still accommodate them?
As they entered the city, the guards gave them a disdainful look.

Yu Xiaogang didn't pay attention at first, but as time went by, when they arrived in front of the teahouse and overheard the conversation of passersby, he couldn't hold back any longer.

"Shrek Academy truly burns itself to light up others."

"That's right. If they hadn't been eliminated, the three eliminated teams would only have made it to the top six. Now they've made it to the top five, which is arguably the best result in the academy's history."

Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong was furious. She rushed forward, grabbed the collars of the two passersby, and cursed, "Say that again if you dare!"

Tang San quickly stopped him.

"Teacher Erlong, we are in the city. Don't make a move and cause unnecessary trouble."

During the finals, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Heavenly Dou Empire targeted them. Now, their disturbance has undoubtedly given the royal family an opportunity to attack them.

The appearance of the Shrek team immediately attracted the attention of the city's residents.

A few days ago, the teams returned to Tiandou City one after another, sparking a wave of discussion about the Soul Master Competition.

Tang San and his companions had lived in Heaven Dou City, so many people knew them.

Upon seeing them appear, many people whispered among themselves.

"Aren't those people from Shrek Academy? How dare they come back?"

"Exactly. They represented the Empire in the competition, but instead of cherishing the opportunity, they tarnished the Empire's reputation. Look at what they did on the final stage!"

The Shrek members were furious about this.

Their misfortune had already been attributed to the Spirit Hall's machinations, so they couldn't possibly listen to anyone else's words!
To avoid being harassed by the Heaven Dou Empire, the Shrek Academy members swallowed their anger and slunk out of the crowd, fleeing towards the academy.

……

Since Shrek Academy was shut down, its teachers and students had long been transferred to other academies by the Empire. When Yu Xiaogang and his group arrived at the academy's gate, the scene before them shocked them.

Since Flanders and the others left, the academy has been in a state of semi-paralysis.

With the academy's reputation getting worse and worse, the students completely gave up, and the interior was no longer cleaned.

After Shrek Academy was stripped of its operating license, the academy fell into complete disuse.

When Tang San and the others returned, they felt as if they had been in another world.

The campus was overgrown with weeds, and even the main gate was now surrounded by ivy.

Pushing open the college gate, a refreshing fragrance of nature wafts in.

Yu Xiaogang yelled, "What is Flander doing? Why has the academy become like this?!"

In his view, leading the team to compete in the Soul Master Tournament and entrusting the rear to Flander was a sign of trust.

As a result, the college has been managed like this?
Even if the academy is dissolved due to force majeure, shouldn't it still be taken care of?

Even if we take a step back and say that Ma Hongjun's death affected his mindset.

After so much time, things should have calmed down by now, right?

Reflecting on his recent experiences, Yu Xiaogang was furious and went into the academy to confront Flander.

Liu Erlong frowned and reminded him, "Xiao Gang, Boss Fu and the others aren't at the academy. I can't sense their presence."

Tyrone and Terra had no affection for Flander, and immediately sneered, "I'm afraid the Dean has already been absorbed into the Heaven Dou Empire!"

Yu Xiaogang was like a powder keg, completely ignited.

He cursed Flander as shameless and mocked the air.

Tang San sighed deeply.

"Teacher, perhaps the dean has his reasons for leaving. We have other things to do right now."

On the way, Yu Xiaogang spoke to him privately.

Without Tang Hao, it remains to be seen whether the Power Clan will remain loyal.

At present, Tailong and the other two have not been informed about his situation.

"Terone, Terra, you've been away from the family for too long. Go back and report as soon as possible. Leave the rest to us."

The two nodded and left immediately.

Oscar chuckled dryly and submitted his resignation: "Mistress, Master, I plan to go out and gain experience."

Shrek Academy has become such a mess, and he has already betrayed it spiritually; there's no reason for him to stay any longer.

Fortunately, he said that he had made an agreement with outsiders to make a name for themselves in mainland China, and promised to return to the academy after five years.

Yu Xiaogang had no objection to this.

Given Shrek Academy's current situation, it can no longer support many students.

The departure of an Oscar winner will significantly reduce their burden.

……

In the wooden cabin behind the academy, the master and apprentice, along with Liu Erlong, sat together discussing something.

"Moon Pavilion is a place for cultivating aristocratic etiquette and a cradle for high-ranking officials in the empire. Many nobles and officials owe them favors, so forcing our way in is definitely not an option, and we certainly can't afford to offend those nobles."

"and"

After saying a lot in one breath, Liu Erlong added one last sentence: "Madam Yuehua may know where Boss Fu went."

The Moon Pavilion houses numerous noble offspring who possess a wealth of intelligence.

The changes at Shrek Academy are big news, and it's certain that many people outside the academy have been paying attention.
