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

Dai Mubai grinned and said, "Everyone has worked hard!"

The little monsters all wore victorious smiles, but also a hint of fatigue. Five-thousand-year-old soul beasts were not easy to deal with; it was all thanks to their tacit cooperation and decent individual abilities.

Oscar was already distributing recovery sausages to replenish everyone's soul power. When he got to Dai Mubai, he gave him three: "Boss Dai, it's up to you now. Good luck!"

Dai Mubai nodded: "There will definitely be no problem!"

The group quickly ate the sausages, recovered, and then became Dai Mubai's protectors.

Dai Mubai quickly adjusted his condition to its best and then began absorbing the spirit ring.

"Brother Yuan, your Fatty's outburst was pretty good, wasn't it?" Ma Hongjun laughed.

Yu Xiuyuan nodded vigorously: "Yes, I am the weakest in the team right now. It seems I need to train harder so that I can catch up with you as soon as possible."

Ma Hongjun comforted him, "Keep going, I believe in you!"

Ning Rongrong took a couple of sips of water from the water pouch, then said to Oscar, "Little Oscar, I want to eat sausage too."

"Okay! Which one do you want?" Oscar immediately ran up to Ning Rongrong.

Zhu Zhuqing sat on a tree branch, her cold gaze fixed on Dai Mubai. Her expression remained as icy as ever, but when she turned her head away, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

"He's a Soul Master now..."

As usual, Xiao Wu remained silent, sitting on a tree root not far away, her gaze somewhat vacant, lost in thought.

"What a group of excellent little monsters, it's just that there aren't enough of them!"

Flander adjusted his glasses, a satisfied smile on his face.

Liu Erlong said, "The number of little monsters at Shrek Academy will only increase. There were a few good ones in the original Blue Tyrant Academy. With their strength, they should be able to enter Shrek Academy's Monster Teaching Building."

Flanders chuckled, "Aren't you supposed to be a hands-off manager? Why are you so concerned about the academy's affairs?"

Liu Erlong said, "I wasn't like that before. Besides, outstanding students are always more likely to attract attention."

"How dare you say that to me? I've heard it from Xiaogang. You're the real hands-off manager. You've handed over all the affairs of the academy to Vice Dean Zhao Wuji. I admire where he got such determination to devote himself wholeheartedly to the development of the academy."

Flander smiled confidently: "Soon, Shrek Academy in Tiandou City will also have a new Zhao Wuji."

"You're really amazing..." Liu Erlong said admiringly.

Chen Luo's gaze remained fixed on Dai Mubai, who had already begun absorbing spirit rings. With Dai Mubai's physical strength, a five-thousand-year spirit ring was no problem, and if nothing unexpected happened, Dai Mubai's fourth spirit skill would be the White Tiger Meteor Shower.

"The Shrek Seven Devils' soul skills have remained largely unchanged, except that the soul beasts they absorbed were of a relatively higher age, so the strength of their soul skills should also be greater."

"If the story were to follow the normal plot of the book, Dai Mubai would have broken through his limits after Tang San returned, with the help of the immortal herbs. But here, Dai Mubai relied entirely on his own talent and hard work, which is already quite impressive."

"Among all the little monsters, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun have changed the most. They have not only changed their bad habits, but they have also become more hardworking and are both very outstanding."

"Yu Xiuyuan, there's nothing to say. He's an excellent disciple of mine."

Chen Luo's gaze began to fall on the other small monsters.

"Ning Rongrong hasn't changed much. She has always performed very well, without any of the witch-like behavior in the book. I don't know if it's because of her competitive spirit or because she has always hidden her shortcomings very well. No matter what, she definitely deserves the word 'excellent' now."

"Compared to cultivation, Ning Rongrong is truly skilled at social interaction and manipulating people's hearts. Oscar probably won't escape Ning Rongrong's clutches."

Seeing Oscar's fawning expression, Chen Luo couldn't help but think of a term from his original world—"simp."

Of course, there are different situations when it comes to being a "simp" (or "licking dog"). Not all acts of kindness towards the opposite sex constitute being a "simp."

Ning Rongrong probably also has some affection for Oscar. The two are basically inseparable every day. This mutual attraction can't be called licking; it should be called pampering.

Besides, there used to be a word to describe a "simp" or a "devoted lover."

Chen Luo's gaze then fell on Xiao Wu: "Xiao Wu's personality has also changed, but not drastically. She's just working harder at cultivation."

Turning his gaze away, Chen Luo's lips curled into a slight smile: "I'm getting more and more excited for their performance in the Elite Soul Master Tournament..."

Dai Mubai's absorption of the spirit ring went smoothly, with a few minor setbacks along the way, but nothing serious. In less than an hour, Dai Mubai completed the absorption of the spirit ring, and his fourth spirit skill was exactly as Chen Luo had predicted: White Tiger Meteor Shower.

The group once again shared the joy of success. After a short rest, they headed towards Dugu Bo's residence.

Because powerful soul beasts exist in the center of the Soul Beast Forest, the little monsters walked in the middle, with Flander at the front and Liu Erlong at the back.

They are very close together, so even if an emergency occurs, it can be resolved immediately.

After a series of close calls, the Shrek group successfully arrived near Dugu Bo's residence.

As luck would have it, they had just arrived when Tang San and Dugu Bo had just come down the mountain.

Chapter 132 Academy Upgrade

Upon seeing Dugu Bo, Chen Luo, Liu Erlong, and Flander immediately stood together, protecting the other little monsters behind them.

Although they had gradually become acquainted with Dugu Bo, he was, after all, an unpredictable and ruthless old poison master, so it was always better to be cautious.

When Dugu Bo saw Chen Luo and the others' posture, he immediately showed displeasure, but that was all.

Tang San was overjoyed to see Chen Luo and the others arrive: "Teacher, Dean, Boss Dai... why is everyone here!"

"Brother!" Xiao Wu looked at Tang San with red eyes and full of resentment.

Upon seeing this, Tang San immediately revealed a gentle smile and slowly opened his arms.

Unexpectedly, Ma Hongjun beat him to it and gave Tang San a bear hug.

"Bro, I've missed you so much!"

Next was Yu Xiuyuan. Yu Xiuyuan often spent time with Ma Hongjun. His introverted personality had long since changed, but he was still a bit short of being a socialite.

Xiao Wu finally got a hug from Tang San; everyone was so enthusiastic.

After the little monsters finished their excitement at being reunited, Chen Luo looked at Tang San and asked, "Where are you all planning to go?"

Tang San was already all smiles: "Let's go back!"

"I wanted to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect to run into you so soon after coming down the mountain!"

"Oh, right, let me reintroduce you."

Tang San arrived at Dugu Bo's side. Dugu Bo stood with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent.

Previously, when Tang San reunited with the little monsters, Dugu Bo was left out without any objection. Now, being the center of attention, he felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"This is Senior Dugu Bo, a senior advisor to our Shrek Academy and a powerful expert at the Title Douluo level!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, except for Chen Luo, whose expression remained relatively calm. However, to match everyone's expressions, even though Chen Luo knew the situation, he still pretended to be surprised and asked, "Our academy's senior advisor? What's going on?"

Dugu Bo spoke calmly: "What, you don't like it?"

Chen Luo quickly shook his head with a smile: "No, no, no, I'm just a little flattered!"

The arrival of a titled Douluo-level expert as an advisor to the Advanced Soul Master Academy was naturally a great honor.

Flander then complimented Dugu Bo a few times. In terms of social skills, Flander was clearly more adept, and Dugu Bo's face already showed a hint of pleasure after a few words.

Afterwards, the Shrek group, along with Tang San and Dugu Bo, left Sunset Forest and returned to Shrek Academy.

Flander, as if afraid that Dugu Bo would change his mind, completed the process as quickly as possible. Even as an advisor, one needs to prepare some documents. Flander compiled all the documents into one sheet of paper, and Dugu Bo only needed to leave his mark on it.

Dugu Bo cooperated very well with Flander's compliments and officially became an advisor to Shrek Academy. Although it was only a nominal position, it raised the level of Shrek Academy by more than a little bit.

The moment Dugu Bo left his mark on the document, Chen Luo suddenly received a notification from the system—

Shrek Academy's academic level has been upgraded to A!

Chen Luo was slightly taken aback, then overjoyed.

He never imagined that the academy's upgrade was just one Title Douluo away...

Dugu Bo did not linger at Shrek Academy. He simply chatted with Tang San for a few minutes before leaving.

Next came the distribution of the immortal herbs. Just like in the book, Tang San used up all the immortal herbs in the Yin-Yang Well.

In fact, Chen Luo was initially very interested in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, but unfortunately, his strength was insufficient. Even if he used the Spirit Fusion Technique with Liu Erlong and Flander, he might not be able to kill Dugu Bo. The most likely outcome would be that they would both be injured, which would be completely unnecessary.

Furthermore, everyone has their own expertise. Even if Chen Luo went to great lengths to reach the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, he lacked the professional knowledge to gather those immortal herbs.

Chen Luo could have easily thought of the idea of ​​returning the money to his apprentices, but the key issue was that his own abilities were limited.

If you risk your life to obtain some of the magical herbs, only to find they aren't returned after you've taught them to disciples, that would be a tragedy.

Even if you want to become a gambler, you need a trigger.

The immortal herbs that Tang San distributed were not much different from those in the book, except that there were more of them.

Yu Xiuyuan was an extra one, and he was also given immortal herbs. Of course, the bond between the fellow disciples had to be taken care of.

Chen Luo eventually obtained a magical herb, but it wasn't the ninth-grade purple fungus that Yu Xiaogang obtained in the book.

Instead, it is a magical herb called the Bone and Tendon Flower, which is mainly used to improve physical constitution and also helps to enhance soul power.

Besides the changes in the immortal herbs obtained by Chen Luo, the immortal herbs obtained by Xiao Wu also differed somewhat.

Tang San had the necessary Acacia Heartbreak Red, but Xiao Wu refused to take it. So Tang San prepared a Grade Nine Purple Ganoderma for Xiao Wu. Although its effect was far inferior to the Acacia Heartbreak Red, it could still help Xiao Wu improve her soul power level to some extent.

Good heavens, the Ninth-Grade Purple Ganoderma ended up in Xiao Wu's hands...

Chen Luo not only obtained the immortal herb, but Tang San also gave him a pair of Mother-Child Soul-Chasing Life-Stealing Gallbladders. With the addition of extremely rich toxins, the Mother-Child Soul-Chasing Life-Stealing Gallbladders are now the complete version. Tang San also took back the ones he had previously given him for further processing.

This made Chen Luo very happy, as Tang San was showing him almost no reservations as his teacher.

Next comes the stage where the little monsters consume the magic herbs and gain an upgrade boost. With the help of the magic herbs, the strength of all the little monsters will be greatly enhanced.

Chen Luo returned to his wooden hut, but instead of immediately consuming the immortal herb, he first opened the academy panel—
