Time flies, and a week has passed in the blink of an eye.

Some changes occurred in Soto City this week. Due to Yu Xiaogang's serious injury and bedridden state, Xiao Wu's broken arms, and Tang San's secluded cultivation, Shrek Academy completely suspended its matches at the Great Soul Arena.

Because they were unable to continue fighting, the fateful encounter that should have occurred this week did not happen. Shrek Academy did not encounter the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team that came to Soto City for training, and Tang San naturally did not encounter Dugu Yan, who used poison.

However, Qin Ming, the team leader of the first team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, took the opportunity to return to his alma mater after leading the team to Soto City, while the students were training at the Soul Arena, to visit Dean Flander.

When Qin Ming carried the gifts into the dilapidated village of Shrek Academy, he was stunned by the scene before him.

The atmosphere in the academy was gloomy. Yu Xiaogang lay in bed like a cripple, and the students were all injured to varying degrees, with no morale whatsoever.

Qin Ming quickly found Flander and Zhao Wuji and asked them what had happened.

Flander sighed, pulled Qin Ming to sit down, and recounted in detail what had happened a few days ago at the Soto Grand Arena.

He mentioned the team called "Kraish Academy," and their overwhelming strength, finally saying in a bitter voice:

"The most troublesome thing is that the opposing team's instructors are two Soul Masters. Xiao Gang's injury was inflicted by one of the strength-type Soul Masters. We had absolutely no chance to fight back."

Upon hearing the name "Kreiss" and the news of the great humiliation suffered by his alma mater's teachers and students, Qin Ming suddenly stood up, his heart filled with rage.

"Shrek, this is clearly Shrek backwards! They're openly humiliating us!" Qin Ming clenched his fist.

Facing the two invincible Soul Douluos that Flander spoke of, Qin Ming showed no fear. He looked at Flander, his tone firm:

"Dean, Teacher Zhao, don't worry. Those two Soul Douluos are indeed very strong, but I, Qin Ming, am not to be feared. I am already a Soul Emperor of level sixty-something, and the second youngest Soul Emperor on the continent."

Reaching the Contra level is just a matter of time for me; it's just around the corner!

Qin Ming's eyes were cold and sharp as he confidently declared, "Give me time, and once my strength improves further, I will personally seek justice and avenge my alma mater!"

Looking at this exceptionally talented disciple who was also deeply devoted to the academy, Flander's eyes reddened.

He patted Qin Ming on the shoulder, deeply moved, his voice trembling slightly:

"Xiao Ming, your heart is enough. You are truly one of the best disciples I have ever taught. Shrek Academy is proud of you."

However, this was a dramatic misunderstanding.

When Qin Ming led his team out of Heaven Dou City, Qian San and Franya's group had not yet arrived in the [Original World]. Afterwards, Qin Ming continued to lead his team to challenge teams from various Soul Arenas and did not return to Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Therefore, Qin Ming had no idea that the "Kresh Academy" he was now so furious with and vowing to teach a lesson to was actually the second team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, personally appointed by the Crown Prince!

After catching up, Qin Ming went to see the current batch of students at Shrek Academy.

When he saw Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Tang San and the others who were forcing themselves to come out to meet him, Qin Ming began to make plans in his mind.

As a teacher at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, he had seen countless noble students, but he was certain that the talent of these junior students was absolutely unparalleled in his life, even surpassing that of Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan.

"Dean, the junior students' talents are amazing. It's such a waste to keep them in such a resource-poor village." Qin Ming turned to Flander, a bold idea forming in his mind.

Qin Ming had always led the first team of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy. In his memory, the academy's second team was still a group of good-for-nothing noble children who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun.

He was unaware that the second team had long been completely replaced by Qian San and his group.

Therefore, Qin Ming directly suggested to Flander that they poach his people.

"Dean, why don't we let the younger students go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?" Qin Ming suggested.

"The students in the Heaven Dou Second Team are a complete disorganized mess, and leaving their spots vacant is a waste. If you're willing, I can apply to the academy's higher-ups to have these Shrek Academy students directly fill the spots in the Heaven Dou Second Team. This way, they can enjoy the best training resources in the entire Heaven Dou Academy."

Upon hearing this suggestion, Flanders was stunned, and then hesitated.

On one hand, Shrek Academy was the culmination of most of his life's work. Although he had long ago said that this was Shrek's last class of students, he had his own selfish motives. He didn't want to smash the signboard bearing Shrek's name, nor did he want to hand over these geniuses to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

On the other hand, the painful experience in Soto City was like a heavy blow that woke him up.

Without a powerful backer, they would find it extremely difficult to move forward in this cruel world of Soul Masters.

While the teachers were indeed quite capable, when faced with those two unreasonable Soul Masters, they could only lower their heads and take the beating; they couldn't even protect their students.

Keeping these geniuses around would not only fail to provide them with safe protection, but the academy's budget is already stretched thin, barely enough to cover student nutrition. If they continue to stay, they would be completely unable to handle any problems that might arise, which would be extremely irresponsible towards the students.

Flanders remained silent for a long time. He did indeed hope to have a powerful enough backer to rely on, so that these children could grow up in peace.

His selfishness and rational judgment caused him great inner turmoil.

"This is a huge matter; I can't make a decision on my own," Flander finally sighed and said to Qin Ming.

"I'll go and call everyone over so we can discuss this together."

Soon, Flander summoned all the teachers in the academy, including Yu Xiaogang who was enduring the pain, as well as Tang San, Dai Mubai, and all the students, to the simple conference room. Qin Ming also sat down to the side.

Flander repeated Qin Ming's suggestion to everyone verbatim, then lowered his head, waiting for their reactions.

The meeting room was quiet for a moment.

Just then, Yu Xiaogang broke the silence. Although he had suffered a humiliating blow, his stubbornness remained unchanged.

"I firmly support going to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy." Yu Xiaogang's voice was a little hoarse because of his weakness, but his tone left no room for doubt.

He turned to look at Flander and immediately unleashed his attack:

"Flander, look at what we have now! No environment, no mimicry facilities, no funds!"

More importantly, Shrek Academy isn't even officially registered with either of the two great empires. This means that no matter how strong these kids are, they're not qualified to participate in the Continental Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies!
