Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as Dongfang Qingcang, Unrivaled in the Mortal World

Chapter 38 Yu Xiaogang's delusional fantasies

They returned to the Heaven Dou Empire at dawn the following day.

After bidding farewell to Dongfang Qingcang, the Shrek Academy disciples chose to return to the academy to continue their cultivation. With the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament fast approaching, it was best to focus on their training.

Little Orchid yawned, tears welling in her eyes, and said, "I'm so tired, Great Demon King. Shall we have breakfast, or go back and rest for a bit?"

"casual."

Dongfang Qingcang, however, felt no drowsiness whatsoever. Having slept for tens of thousands of years, he naturally did not feel any fatigue in his body.

Xiao Lanhua pointed to the breakfast shop that was already open. After thinking for a moment, she immediately dragged Dongfang Qingcang over there. It would be a bit unreasonable not to eat something in the morning.

As the saying goes, food is as essential as iron; you'll get hungry if you skip a meal.

Flower fairies also need to eat.

...............

Shrek Academy.

The fact that his disciple had not returned all night made Dean Flander feel a sense of crisis. He even sent Zhao Wuji to search for him, but he did not find any news of Dai Mubai and the others.

Dean Flander's brow furrowed as he paced back and forth, his expression grave. "The children must be in no danger," he said. "None of them have returned."

"Probably not."

Master Pingtouge took a sip of tea and said softly, "The children are already strong enough to protect themselves, and this is the Heavenly Dou Empire, where fighting is strictly prohibited."

That applies to the weak.

Flanders replied irritably.

Only the weak obey the rules of the empire, while the strong are the ones who make the rules. Therefore, they don't need to obey the rules of others.

Just as Dean Flander was getting anxious, Ma Hongjun and his group walked in from outside, chatting and laughing.

"You little rascals, what were you doing last night?"

Dean Flander breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Ma Hongjun and the others were safe and sound, but he was still quite angry as he walked over and grabbed Ma Hongjun's ear to question him.

As Flander's direct disciple, Ma Hongjun had always treated him like his own son. If Ma Hongjun died, who would take care of him in his old age and see him off in his final days?

With this in mind, Dean Flander mustered even more strength.

"Teacher, it hurts, it hurts!"

Ma Hongjun grinned, showing his teeth, and said, "Teacher, be gentle, you're going to twist my ear off."

Seeing Ma Hongjun's pained expression, Dean Flander angrily released his right hand and rebuked him, "Didn't I tell you to come back before dark? What time is it now? Why are you only just returning?"

Dai Mubai hurriedly said, "Dean, don't misunderstand, we are not in danger. Please listen to me first."

So Dai Mubai told the Dean and Grandmaster everything that had happened. After learning that they had gone to Sunset Forest to find Tang San, he was also a little troubled.

Fortunately, Dongfang Qingcang was also on the trip. Given Dongfang Qingcang's strength, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo did not dare to attack him, thus ensuring the children's safety.

Otherwise, given Poison Douluo Dugu Bo's personality, even if he didn't move the Shrek Academy disciples, he would never have allowed them to leave so easily.

After all, what is the price of provoking a Title Douluo? I believe you probably know even if it's not explicitly stated.

Dean Flander said calmly, "You guys really have a lot of nerve, daring to go to Sunset Forest. With the strength of you kids, it's already quite an achievement that you came back alive."

"It seems I'll have to increase your workload a bit more, otherwise you'd be really full of energy."

Upon hearing this, the Shrek Academy students all looked dejected. If they had known this would happen, they shouldn't have said anything about going to Sunset Forest.

Dean Flander sat in his chair, his face serious, and instructed, "Stay away from Dongfang Qingcang from now on. This guy calls himself the Demon Lord, and he's obviously not a good person. If you offend him, you might not even know how you died."

"Alright, you should all go back and rest now. We'll begin formal training tomorrow and strive to break through to the Soul Master realm as soon as possible."

Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai looked at each other, said nothing more, and then turned and left the dean's office.

Watching the children's departing figures, Dean Flander turned to the confident Master Yu Xiaogang again, his face cold, and said, "Xiaogang, what are you thinking? What is Dongfang Qingcang's purpose in doing this?"

Master Yu Xiaogang took a sip of tea, shrugged with feigned composure, and said with narrowed eyes, "In my opinion, Dongfang Qingcang might be able to join our Shrek Academy in the future."

"what?"

Flander was stunned, somewhat unable to believe his ears.

How could you say that?

Do you think I believe you?

Want to join Shrek Academy?

This is much faster than dreaming!

His status is extraordinary; he is a powerful expert at the Title Douluo level, a figure at the very top of the pyramid in the entire Douluo Continent.

Why should I join the third-rate Shrek Academy?

That's clearly a bit unrealistic.

The master smiled and said, "Dongfang Qingcang has had more contact with our Shrek Academy, which is the bridge that allows us to become friends. Moreover, we only need to show our sincerity to make Dongfang Qingcang a guest elder of our Shrek Academy."

"That's why I decided to invite Dongfang Qingcang to join Shrek Academy. Wouldn't it be wonderful if he taught the children?"

The guidance of a Title Douluo is something no Soul Master can refuse, especially a top-tier expert like him. With his tutelage, Xiao San's chances of breaking through to the Title Douluo realm will increase.

He could even become the youngest Title Douluo, surpassing his father and standing at the pinnacle of strength on the Douluo Continent.

The master was extremely excited.

If he could cultivate a god-level expert, it would be an unimaginable source of pride for the master, and it would be the result he desired most in his career.

Are you sure they can help us?

Dean Flanders asked with a solemn expression.

He never sensed any goodwill from Dongfang Qingcang towards Shrek Academy; in fact, he was quite hostile.

Flanders had a keen eye for people; he could tell at a glance who was dangerous and who could be a friend.

Dongfang Qingcang was even more arrogant than Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, and was not someone that ordinary people could control. That was why he said such things.

"I'm 50% confident that if I can get him to teach Xiao San, Xiao San will not only be able to resolve the backlash from the twin martial souls, but her strength will also increase by leaps and bounds—it'll be entirely beneficial!"
