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

Infrastructure level: B+.

Number of simulated training environments: 66.

Honors received: Runner-up in the Advanced Soul Master Academy Exchange Competition.

Available assets: 711107 Gold Soul Coins, 4 Silver Soul Coins, and 4 Bronze Soul Coins.

As expected, Chen Luo's academic level reached A, and he was still in disbelief that he hadn't experienced auditory hallucinations.

"I originally thought the little monsters would need to achieve certain results in the Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament to level up, but I didn't expect that Dugu Bo's addition would complete the level up, and an advisor option would also be added to the academy panel. It turns out that the academy also values ​​prestige..."

Chen Luo smiled excitedly: "Now that the academy has reached Grade A, does my apprenticeship rebate now apply to all students in the academy?"

Thinking of this, Chen Luo immediately opened his personal panel, which he hadn't checked in a long time.

Host: Chen Luo.

Current identity: Yu Xiaogang.

Martial Soul: Golden Luo Three Cannons.

Martial Soul Level: SS.

Soul Power Level: Level 55.

Soul Ring Combinations: 100 years, 100 years, 1000 years, 10, ....

Soul Bone: Thunder Scale (External Soul Bone).

Domains: Killing God Domain, Time Domain (incomplete).

Disciples: Tang San (S-rank), Yu Xiuyuan (A-rank), Shrek Academy (A-rank).

Chen Luo glanced at the various pleasing information he had gathered and quickly settled on the section about his disciples. His gaze then fell on Shrek Academy, which seemed rather strange.

"The academy has been categorized as an apprenticeship?" Chen Luo asked, puzzled.

Chapter 133 Collective Apprenticeship Return

Chen Luo's gaze lingered on the academy, wanting to check his own information as a special disciple, just as he had checked Tang San and Yu Xiuyuan's.

To Chen Luo's surprise, he actually succeeded, although the information about this special disciple was slightly different—

Shrek Academy (Level A)

Apprenticeship Reward 1: As long as the students of the academy cultivate in the simulated cultivation environment, there is a chance to trigger the apprenticeship reward and obtain a certain amount of soul power. The trigger probability is related to the student's talent.

Apprenticeship Reward 2: When a student acquires a new Soul Ring, there is a chance to trigger the Apprenticeship Reward, which increases the time required to obtain the next Soul Ring. The trigger probability is related to the student's talent.

The third type of apprenticeship reward: When academy students receive physical rewards, there is a chance to trigger the apprenticeship reward, in which they will receive items such as Gold Soul Coins. The trigger probability is related to the student's talent.

Note 1: The apprenticeship reward can be withdrawn once every six months, and the reward can be withdrawn now.

Note 2: The system will detect the host's actions. Do not deliberately trigger the apprenticeship return for your own benefit, as this will affect the development of the academy. If discovered, you will be severely punished.

Note 3: The level of the academy affects the probability of triggering the apprenticeship reward. The level of the academy will change as the academy develops.

Note 4: Since it is a group apprenticeship return, the chance of triggering the apprenticeship return is low.

Chen Luo read each message very carefully, sometimes smiling broadly, sometimes frowning deeply.

Needless to say, Chen Luo was overjoyed, having gained a good "disciple" who helped him quickly improve his strength.

Chen Luo's furrowed brows indicated that he had too much room for maneuver, and could only let things take their natural course, or devote himself wholeheartedly to the construction of the academy.

The system specifically states that you should not deliberately trigger the apprenticeship reward for your own benefit, otherwise you will be severely punished.

This one rule extinguished all sorts of thoughts in Chen Luo's mind.

When Chen Luo read the first half, he already wanted to keep opening branch academies to increase the number of students. In addition, he wanted to keep rewarding students and take meticulous care of them when they acquired soul rings.

If that were truly possible, Chen Luo would only need to collect his apprenticeship reward once every six months to easily reach the pinnacle.

"What a pity, it seems I can only be an excellent behind-the-scenes dean..." Chen Luo sighed inwardly.

"The chance of triggering the group apprenticeship reward is quite low. How low is it? Does that mean most ordinary students have no chance? It seems we can only place our hopes on the outstanding students..."

Chen Luo looked at the information in front of him again and again, and finally came to his own conclusion.

The simulated cultivation environment is an important foundation for triggering cultivation return. The system specifically points out that students must cultivate in the simulated cultivation environment. The academy must have a simulated cultivation environment area, and it should be continuously expanded according to its own conditions. If conditions permit, the simulated cultivation environment needs of all students in the academy should be met as much as possible.

Currently, both Shrek Academy's main campus in Soto City and its branch campus in Tiandou City are continuously building simulated training environment areas. We should just let things take their natural course and there's no need to force or mess around with it.

There's not much to worry about students acquiring spirit rings. Shrek Academy has sufficient teaching resources to meet the needs of all students. If students were to acquire spirit rings on their own, the mortality rate would be too high, and what would be the point of the academy's existence?

Regarding rewards, we could think about it more often. We could set up more competitions within the college, and that would provide the rewards. We could also give progress awards or encouragement awards to outstanding and struggling students, etc. It's just that…

The return of items like Gold Soul Coins is a headache. Chen Luo isn't short of money right now. If all rewards are returned in the form of Gold Soul Coins, it feels like there's no need to research it anymore. Let it be.

But I doubt the system would be that unfair. If students receive rewards like soul bones, would they be converted into gold soul coins? But soul bones can't be measured in gold soul coins at all. Even if they could, they would be incredibly expensive. Giving them a string of numbers wouldn't make any sense.

[Rare items such as Soul Bones will not be converted into Gold Soul Coins for refund!]

The system notification finally put Chen Luo's mind at ease.

Therefore, we still need to pay more attention to the resources available to Soul Masters...

The development of the academy is of utmost importance. If Shrek Academy declines, it is very likely to drop from Grade A, and then the collective apprenticeship bonus will be lost.

Currently, Shrek Academy is on the rise, so there's no need to worry for now.

"It seems there's nothing else to be aware of, so let's think about the next steps."

A special mission is approaching, but now that the academy's collective apprenticeship rewards have been paid out, we can push our limits one more time, get stuck at the last moment, collect a wave of apprenticeship rewards, and then set off again.

Tang San provided the immortal herbs, and after everyone consumed them, their strength would definitely increase significantly, and a new soul ring acquisition campaign would soon follow.

"Tang San and Yu Xiuyuan were originally my disciples, so it would be best if I helped them acquire new spirit rings. That way, we might be able to trigger the apprenticeship reward twice. I just don't know if I can wait until then..."

Tang San, who has spent half a year in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, is now at level 37 in terms of soul power. After consuming the immortal herb, he should be able to break through to the next level.

Although the "Looking Through Autumn Water Dew" could not help Tang San quickly increase his soul power, there was still a lot of residual energy in his body from the "Blazing Apricot Blossom" and "Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass" that Tang San had previously consumed.

It was precisely because of those two immortal herbs that Tang San's strength was able to improve rapidly. If he had cultivated normally, he would probably only have reached level thirty-five.

Chen Luo knew all this so well because it was all told to him by Tang San himself, and it wasn't much different from the plot in the book. Tang San had no reservations about his teacher.

Yu Xiuyuan is at level 27, and the probability of him breaking through in a short period of time is also very high.

As for the other minor monsters, they've only recently obtained their third spirit rings, so I don't have high hopes for them.

Even if I've already left, Flander and the others can help me acquire spirit rings. Anyway, it's all calculated in the collective apprenticeship reward. Besides, whether the apprenticeship reward can be triggered is still unknown.

"We will strive to improve our strength in the last few months, so that we will have more confidence to return to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family."

Chen Luo thought to himself, then clarified his next plan in his mind.

We'll take whatever improvement we can get from taking the herb Tang San gave us.

After Tang San and Yu Xiuyuan broke through to a new level, they immediately took them to obtain new spirit rings, if time allowed.

Allow at least one month for travel to and from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. Before returning, collect the collective teaching reward from the academy once.

Since the academy's apprenticeship reward program has just started, all rewards are starting from scratch. It will take several months to accumulate some rewards, and the first withdrawal is open directly without having to wait half a year.

Chen Luo had no regrets about the academy's policy of returning apprentices to their original masters.

Indeed, timing it perfectly allowed Chen Luo to receive a significant amount of rewards from the group's apprenticeship program.

Putting everything else aside, several members of the Shrek Seven Devils have acquired new spirit rings in the past few months. Given their talent, the chances of triggering the apprenticeship reward should be quite high...

Chapter 134 Four Months Later

If you really think that way, you'll only get more and more depressed.

We can only look on the bright side. Dugu Bo's joining was just the last straw that broke the camel's back, not the absolute key. The academy needs to accumulate enough resources to upgrade. Even if Dugu Bo hadn't joined, the academy would probably have been able to upgrade smoothly in a few days to a month at most.

Besides, Dugu Bo promised Tang San, not Shrek Academy. Even if he wanted to recruit this Title Douluo advisor in advance, it would be very difficult for him.

After sorting out his thoughts, Chen Luo took out the Bone and Tendon Flower that Tang San had given him.

The herb, called "Jin Gu Hua," was stored in a jade bottle. The immortal herbs that Tang Sanfen gave to everyone were all stored in various containers, and there seemed to be many tricks to preserving them.

The appearance of the 'Botrytis cinerea' is somewhat similar to that of a single enoki mushroom, only slightly longer. It is jade-like and crystal clear, with clearly visible red veins distributed irregularly inside. The red veins are most numerous at the top, and can only be seen clearly up close. From a distance, it is just a splash of blood red.

"It can be taken directly."

This is how Tang San told Chen Luo to use the Tendon and Bone Flower.

Chen Luo opened the jade bottle, took out the Bone and Tendon Flower, and then put it in his mouth.

This special plant, which looked crystal clear, melted in his mouth without needing to be chewed. Chen Luo only felt a cool sensation and did not taste anything special.

However, after the Bone and Muscle Flower entered his stomach, Chen Luo immediately felt a warm sensation spreading from within...

…………

Four months later.

Entrance to Sunset Forest.

"Once we enter the forest, we must remain vigilant at all times. We will try to reach the central area of ​​the forest as quickly as possible, find Dugu Bo's residence, and then lure the soul beasts there using Tang San's method before hunting them down."

"If you encounter a suitable soul beast along the way, you can certainly take action, but you will have to put in the effort yourself. Even if we attract soul beasts later, we will only help you capture them; you will still have to kill them yourself."

Chen Luo explained in a deep voice.

All the little monsters nodded in unison, and then the group quickly entered the forest, heading towards the central area.

Flander walked in front, Chen Luo and Liu Erlong followed behind, and the little monsters huddled in the middle.

When Chen Luo's gaze fell on the little monsters, a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

In just four months, all the little monsters except Dai Mubai had completed their breakthroughs.

The one with the biggest leap is Ning Rongrong, who was at level 31 before consuming the immortal herb and has now entered level 40.

The fact that he leveled up nine times in just a few months was unbelievable, even to Chen Luo, who was considered to have cheated.

This may be related to Ning Rongrong's transformation of Seven Treasures Glazed Glass into Nine Treasures Glazed Glass, or perhaps these immortal herbs are extremely potent.

Tang San and Yu Xiuyuan were the first to break through, as they were already very close to the next level.

Next were Xiao Wu and Oscar, while the other little monsters gradually completed their breakthroughs, with those having higher soul power levels breaking through first.
