Douluo Continent: Taking Tang San as a disciple, with a ten-thousand-fold return for teaching him.

Chen Luo wouldn't be foolish enough to point fingers at a group of Soul Masters who were much stronger than him. The so-called title of Master was just a joke in their eyes. It was fine to say a few words to students, but it was different with teachers. Only Flander's words could convince them.

Chen Luo has indeed taken control of Shrek Academy, and the system has recognized this. However, one must act according to the situation. Before one becomes powerful enough, it is better to stay behind the scenes.

Having lived a lifetime, Chen Luo was quite adept at handling many things. As long as he understood his own strength and position, knew how to utilize the resources around him, and was a little more rational and mature, there wouldn't be any major problems.

……

A month later.

The entire faculty and students of Shrek Academy walked through the newly built Shrek Academy, and everyone's face was full of smiles.

"Money really does make things easier. They managed to build the academy in just one month. Compared to our previous dilapidated environment, this place feels like a dream!" Flander exclaimed.

Zhao Wuji expressed his strong agreement: "Yes, the environment here is like heaven and earth, it's like a dream."

As they reminisced, Flander and Zhao Wuji's gazes swept over the various buildings in the academy, all of which appeared quite satisfactory.

Of course they were satisfied. Coming from an extremely bad environment to this brand new one, even if there were some flaws, Flanders and the others automatically ignored them.

The newly built Shrek Academy's main structure is basically the same as that of an ordinary advanced soul master academy, except that the academy is much larger in scale. Chen Luo, Flander, and Zhao Wuji also contributed some of their own ideas, making the academy look very grand overall.

The college has very clear divisions, such as teaching areas, dormitory areas, office areas, examination areas, and so on.

In the teaching area, there is a unique teaching building with Shrek Academy's monster symbol painted on its exterior wall, which is particularly eye-catching. It is a monster teaching building specially arranged by Chen Luo and Flander after discussion, continuing to uphold the belief of only accepting monsters.

Chen Luo and his group happened to pass by the monster teaching building at that moment. Flander stopped and looked up at the monster mark on the outer wall with a complicated expression.

It's inevitable that Shrek Academy will change its admissions system; there aren't that many genius students to choose from.

If someone had that kind of talent, who would bother with your trashy Shrek Academy? Only a few teachers are passable. If the teacher happens to be a Soul Master of one of those specific elemental types, that's fine, but the rest are truly worthless.

Even if Shrek Academy's environment has improved significantly and they are planning to set up a simulated training environment, they still won't be able to recruit many people. If nothing unexpected happens, only the seven Shrek Seven Devils can meet the requirements. Wouldn't it be crazy to build an academy specifically for seven people?

Since we intend to establish a Soul Master Academy, we must do it properly and give other Soul Masters more opportunities to study. The purpose of the academy is to teach, and it can distinguish between geniuses and ordinary people, but it cannot only accept geniuses.

Chen Luo is not a saint. Of course, he also has his own selfish motives. If Shrek Academy continues to recruit students as before, how can he use the academy to gain more benefits?

"The recruitment of teachers should be completed in the next couple of days. Some of the teachers who used to work at Shrek Academy will be returning, and we expect to have some fresh blood joining as well. Then our academy will be even more complete," Flander said.

To make Shrek Academy better, the teaching staff must be replenished. In this world, compared to the worthless land and buildings, teachers are the real money-burning part.

Chen Luo nodded: "Okay, leave the setup of the simulated cultivation environment to me. Let's start today and work on some simple things first."

Flander said, "You don't know how long it will take you to do it all by yourself. We can help with the basic simulated training environment, as long as we have enough materials."

Chen Luo smiled and said, "Don't worry, there are plenty of materials. If you can help, the simulated training environment can be completed in the next few days, which won't delay next week's enrollment. Then we can promote it as a major highlight of our academy!"

Chapter 30 begins enrollment.

"The last spirit stone... Perfect!"

Chen Luo placed a transparent crystal into the pre-dug hole and buried it, letting out a long sigh of relief: "Finally done."

Before Chen Luo was a meticulously arranged environment centered around Blue Silver Grass, a simulated cultivation environment specifically designed for the Blue Silver Grass martial soul. Other plant-type martial souls could also use it.

Further away, there was a simulated cultivation environment similar to the one in front of us, only it looked much rougher and the cultivation effect would definitely be worse, but it had the advantage of being large enough to accommodate dozens of students to cultivate together at the same time.

"A considerable number of simulated training environments have already been set up, but hasn't the academy's infrastructure been upgraded to Level C yet?"

Chen Luo thought to himself, and with a thought, the academy's information panel appeared before his eyes—

Shrek Academy

Category: Advanced Soul Master Academy

Level: C+

Deans: Yu Xiaogang and Flander.

Vice Dean: Zhao Wuji.

Teachers: Shao Xin, Lu Qibin, Li Yusong, Nie Yuanqing, Baheyun...

Trainees: Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar.

Infrastructure level: D+.

Number of simulated training environments: 5.

Available assets: 231107 Gold Soul Coins, 8 Silver Soul Coins, and 5 Bronze Soul Coins.

"Still D+, looks like I'll have to work harder... wait, the available assets have increased again?"

"Last time I heard Flander say he was going to sell several shops in Soto, could it be that he really did? Wait! Shouldn't I be focusing on the fact that he actually owns several shops in Soto?"

Land outside Soto City is worthless, but land inside Soto City is a different story. Even if the price isn't outrageously high, it's still a considerable amount when converted into Gold Soul Coins.

"I knew it! How could someone as greedy as Flander be broke? The reason Shrek Academy has fallen to its previous state is probably because Flander really gave up..."

"Having money is a good thing; money makes things easier. It seems I don't need to worry about the academy not having enough funds."

Chen Luo smiled, closed the academy information panel, and prepared to set up a new simulated cultivation environment. But in the last moment before the academy information panel disappeared, Chen Luo suddenly noticed that the level in the infrastructure level column had changed to level C.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Luo received a system notification that the task was completed—

[Rank D Mission - The Academy's infrastructure upgrade has been completed. Mission reward obtained: Mimicry Training Environment Specialization!!!]

"This task is finally completed. It took me more than a month to complete!" Chen Luo thought to himself, his smile growing even wider.

This task is indeed not difficult. As long as you are willing to spend money and have a little bit of resources, completing the task is a sure thing.

The process was a little long... Actually, it wasn't that long. Building an advanced Soul Master Academy in just one month was incredibly fast, wasn't it?

If this amount of work were in Chen Luo's original world, it would basically take at least ten or eight years to complete.

In this world with martial spirits, the efficiency of many things can be greatly improved. As long as there are enough workers, even the largest projects can be completed in a short time.

And there's no need to worry about quality issues, because no one would risk their life.

"Specialization in mimicry cultivation environments? This reward sounds a bit abstract..."

Chen Luo had a thought and wanted to check the mission rewards, but just then, he felt a sharp pain in his head, followed by a lot of complicated information in his mind.

Chen Luo didn't need to delve into that information; it was like a skill that he had completely mastered, allowing him to skip the theoretical aspects and use it directly.

Chen Luo looked at the simulated cultivation environment he had set up and immediately felt very uncomfortable, like a painter striving for perfection trying to improve a bad painting.

Chen Luo immediately took action, moving the materials in the simulated cultivation environment, adding some materials to others, and taking back some of the materials.

In no time, all the simulated cultivation environments became even more perfect, increasing their efficiency in aiding cultivation by at least 20%.

"Wow, I've gone from amateur to professional..." Chen Luo looked at his hands and then continued to set up the simulated training environment.

After gaining an upgrade in his mastery of the simulated cultivation environment, Chen Luo's speed in setting up a simulated cultivation environment increased several levels.

Flanders and the others were also helping, but they were only doing some very basic setup.

Setting up a simulated cultivation environment is easy to get started with; any Soul Master with a little cultivation experience can do it. However, the most basic simulated cultivation environment is basically useless. To create a decent simulated cultivation environment, you need a relatively professional to set it up.

Although Yu Xiaogang possesses knowledge in these areas, he is only a dabbler, slightly better than Flanders and the others.

From a novice to a professional, Chen Luo's efficiency has improved dramatically.

Chen Luo originally wanted to stick to his original idea of ​​not making the teachers do hard labor, but since Flander had already spoken up, there was no need to spoil their fun.

Sometimes, a sense of participation can make them love it even more.

In less than five days, the simulated training environment of Shrek Academy was completely set up.

Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar are already enjoying the benefits of the simulated training environment, and they are gradually adapting to the training that Chen Luo has tailored for them.

So-called customized training is just physical training. Professional knowledge still needs to be taught by professionals, and only theories derived from practice are true.

Dai Mubai will temporarily study under Li Yusong. Even though one has a beast spirit and the other has a weapon spirit, they are both strong attack type spirit masters, so he can learn something from them.

Ma Hongjun was taught by Flander; they were master and apprentice.

Oscar, on the other hand, studied under Shao Xin. A level 71 food-type soul master can already be classified as one of the top food-type soul masters. Where else can you find a top teacher with such a perfect professional background?

Chen Luo felt that he was more like a dean of students, focusing on students' physical health and habits, conducting physical training, and helping them get rid of some bad habits while improving their physical strength.

Two more days passed, and finally, it was time for Shrek Academy's official enrollment.

Unlike its previous low-key recruitment efforts, Shrek started its publicity campaign well in advance of the year, two weeks ago.

While Chen Luo and his group were setting up the simulated training environment, many people had already contacted Shrek Academy's admissions office.

Without the extremely stringent admission requirements, it would be relatively easy for Shrek Academy to recruit a sufficient number of students, but it is estimated that only a few students will be able to enter the Monster Teaching Building.

……

Soto City, West District.

Tang San and Xiao Wu were walking down the street. Xiao Wu was curiously admiring the scenery of the big city when she was suddenly attracted by a shop with a unique sign.

Chapter 31 The Seven Monsters Take Their Place

"What does this shop sell? There's only one symbol on the sign? A sword, a hammer, and some kind of monster—how can these three things be put together?" Xiao Wu seemed a little curious.

Tang San said, "You didn't study properly when you were in school. That's the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex. Using such a special mark as a signboard, this shop must sell items related to Soul Masters."

"The door is open, let's go in and take a look!" Xiao Wu said excitedly.

Tang San was still hesitating, but Xiao Wu didn't give him a chance to refuse and pulled him directly into the shop.

Less than a minute later, Tang San and Xiao Wu came out of the shop again, both with a hint of disappointment on their faces.

Xiao Wu said, "It turns out to be a closed shop. I didn't see anything good. What a waste of my expectations."

Tang San smiled slightly: "Let's find a place to eat first, and then find out the exact location of Shrek Academy."

"Mm." Xiao Wu nodded.

……

"It should be just ahead, Shrek Academy. The name sounds really interesting. I don't want to go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Studying with that bunch of idiots, just thinking about it is terrifying..."

On the roadside, a stunningly beautiful girl held a Shrek Academy flyer, looking at the map on the flyer to determine her location, muttering to herself in a clear and pleasant voice.

The girl wore a lake-blue long dress, her long brown hair was neatly combed and hung down her shoulders, her skin was as tender as a lychee, she had a delicate face, she was about 1.65 meters tall, her figure was very well-proportioned, and her temperament was noble and otherworldly.

"Shrek Academy actually has a simulated training environment? Simulated training environments are usually only found in top-tier advanced soul master academies, right? How come I've never heard of this academy before?"

"Never mind, let's go check it out first. With my soul power level, joining this unknown academy shouldn't be a problem, right?"
