Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Golden Dragon, Tang San's adoptive father

Chapter 75 Gangzi, did you think I wouldn't find you just because you hid among the students?

After several days of traveling by carriage, Shrek Academy and his group finally arrived in Heaven Dou City, the wealthiest city in the Heaven Dou Empire. Just as they reached the city gates, they saw the Blue Tyrant Academy's recruitment notice: "Blue Tyrant Academy is hiring! We are seeking ten Soul Masters of level 40 or above. Those with high Soul Power will be given priority. Excellent benefits will be offered upon hiring!"

Upon seeing the "GG" message, everyone's faces lit up with joy. "It seems that this Blue Tyrant Academy is truly tailor-made for our Shrek Academy, just as the master said!"

"The only requirement for hiring teachers is level 40, so it seems all the teachers at Shrek Academy can get hired!"

Flander confidently stated that the teachers at Shrek Academy all possessed Soul Power levels above level 60, with Zhao Wuji, Shao Xin, and even himself, the dean of Shrek Academy, boasting astonishing Soul Power levels above 70. Applying for a job requiring only a level 40 Soul Power was a piece of cake for them. However, just as everyone was delighted to finally have a better place to stay, one person frowned, looking distressed. This was none other than Gangzi, the master of Martial Soul Theory. When he saw that the minimum requirement for a teacher position at Blue Tyrant Academy was level 40, Gangzi was completely dumbfounded. Wasn't this exactly the same as the job posting at the entrance of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?

When he applied for a teaching position at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, he was not only rejected because his soul power level was only level 29, which did not meet the minimum requirements for a teaching position at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. He was also severely humiliated. I hope that kind of scene will not happen again at Blue Tyrant Academy.

Just then, Ma Hongjun noticed Gangzi's unusual behavior and asked, "Teacher, what's wrong? Why do you look unhappy?"

"It's nothing, Hongjun, let's go to Blue Tyrant Academy."

After his beloved disciple noticed something was wrong, Gangzi visibly panicked. However, seeing Ma Hongjun instantly sparked an idea in his mind: he could blend into the student group, disguise himself as a student, and take advantage of the chaos. With Flander and the others possessing such outstanding soul power levels, no one should notice him following the students. Fooling the staff should be no problem. Soon, after walking for a while, the group arrived at the main gate of Blue Tyrant Academy. The gatehouse of Blue Tyrant Academy looked similar to the gate of Heaven Dou City, with the entrance also ten meters high. The gatehouse, carved from white marble, wasn't exactly ornate, but it exuded an imposing presence. Eight large, gilded characters adorned the gate: "Blue Tyrant Academy." After entering the gates of Blue Tyrant Academy, the Shrek group arrived at the place where their soul power was tested. It was a pointed-roof building with granite paving the ground and simply whitewashed walls, devoid of any decoration. Soon, three soul masters, all appearing to be in their forties, entered. They stopped in front of the Shrek group, and the leader said, "All soul masters participating in the assessment, please undergo the evaluation one by one. Who would like to go first?"

"I'll go first."

Qin Ming stepped forward and released his martial soul. Instantly, six spirit rings—two yellow, three purple, and one black—appeared on his body. "Qin Ming, Level 62 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Emperor, Martial Soul: Blazing Azure Wolf!"

Please advise!

Upon seeing that Qin Ming was a Soul Emperor, the leader waved his hand and said, "Blue Tyrant Academy has a rule that Soul Emperors above level sixty are exempt from other additional tests, including the practical combat assessment!"

After listening to the leader's words, Flander continued, "Since Soul Masters above level 60 don't need additional assessments, we don't need to waste any more time. Shrek Academy teachers, activate your Martial Souls."

Besides Gangzi, the other teachers from Shrek Academy simultaneously activated their martial souls. In an instant, two Soul Emperors and three Soul Saints appeared before the teachers from Blue Tyrant Academy who were in charge of the assessment. "Li Yusong, Level 63 Power Attack Type Weapon Soul Emperor, Martial Soul: Dragon Pattern Staff!"

"Lu Qibin, Level 66 Control-type Weapon Soul Emperor, Martial Soul Star Luo Chess!"

"Shao Xin, a level 71 Food-type Spirit Master, Martial Soul: Candy Bean!"

"Zhao Wuji, a level 76 offensive-type Battle Soul Saint, Martial Soul: Mighty Vajra Bear!"

"Flander, a level 78 agility-based Battle Soul Saint, Martial Soul: Cat-Owl!"

Seeing the strength of the people in front of them, the three evaluators were overjoyed. Dean Erlong had really gained a lot today!

Seeing this, Gangzi, who had blended into the group of students, felt extremely embarrassed and shrank back guiltily. However, this movement alerted the leader, who immediately frowned and pointed at Gangzi, who was standing with Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai. "You, I'm talking to you! Did you think I couldn't see you hiding in the group of students?"

"What is your soul power level? If it's less than level 40, our Blue Tyrant Academy won't accept you!"

The leader loudly and mercilessly accused Gangzi. Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun looked at Gangzi with a gloating expression. No wonder Gangzi had looked so worried earlier; he was worried about not being able to get a teaching position at Lanba Academy. Thinking of this, Ma Hongjun suddenly had a plan and decided to give his old mentor Gangzi a little backstab!

"How dare you! My teacher is a level 29 Great Soul Master!"

"You little Blue Tyrant Academy dare to refuse my teacher?"

"It's an honor for you that my teacher came to apply for a job at Blue Tyrant Academy!"

???

Hearing Ma Hongjun's words, the Shrek Academy members were dumbfounded. Gangzi's inability to break through level 30 in his entire life was his biggest pain point. Gangzi didn't want anyone to call him a Great Soul Master in front of him. But Ma Hongjun brought it up in this situation, wasn't he making Gangzi lose face?

At this moment, having his secret exposed, Gangzi looked as uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit. What was wrong with his beloved disciple?

Although he understood that his beloved disciple Hongjun did not want to see him suffer, weren't Hongjun's words putting him in a very difficult position?

Moreover, Hong Jun remained silent about his book, "The Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls." Gangzi now had reason to suspect that Hong Jun harbored resentment towards him. However, since things had come to this, to uphold his dignity as a master of Martial Soul theory, Gangzi had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "My disciple is right. Although my soul power level is only twenty-nine, I have another identity: the renowned master of Martial Soul theory in the soul master world!"

Mentioning the words "Master of Martial Soul Theory," Gangzi's eyes filled with pride and arrogance; he was prepared to be revered by these three.
