New Shrek Academy part 3

Grandmaster's expression seemed a bit eccentric

"After more than thirty years. I didn't expect that I would actually reach what I had hoped for on this day. It seems I still underestimated external forces, I've broken through the bottleneck I've been stuck at for decades. My spirit power has finally reached the thirtieth rank."

JoyBoy happily said

"Grandmaster, congratulations. Perhaps you will be able to cultivate rapidly after breaking through the thirtieth rank."

Grandmaster sighed

"This year I'm already a bit over fifty. Spirit Master cultivation becomes more difficult the older one gets. Generally speaking, it gets very difficult to advance after sixty. Do I still have a few years? I've long since given up the dream of becoming a formidable Spirit Master. You all are my hope.

Well, you seven stay here for now. Even though the efficacy of the herbs is good, you still can't slack off. The drugs you just took were so effective, stay here for the time being to cultivate and consolidate the strength you obtained to make it stable. In seven days me and Mubai will go to hunt spirit beasts for spirit rings."

After Grandmaster said that, JoyBoy excused himself from there and returned to his room and continued his daily routine.

Several days later the Shrek Seven Devils completed their temporary Seclusion. Flender and Liu Erlong personally went with Grandmaster and Dai Mubai for the not distant Sunset Forest where Dugu Bo also had his nest to hunt spirit beasts. Ning Rongrong asked for leave and returned home. The remaining five together with JoyBoy for the time being entered the Academy's advanced class.

Ning Rongrong had already planned to return home a while ago, but because Tang San was missing he naturally couldn't make her the hidden weapons. Now that Tang San was back, and her strength had also substantially increased, she returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile school with her own pride and those mechanical class hidden weapons Tang San gave her.

After the Academy bell rung, and everyone entered the classroom. Because of their age, the Original Shrek students naturally couldn't compare to those older students in stature, therefore their seats were all at the very front. By now all the Shrek Seven Devils had reached the thirtieth rank, and naturally also sat in this classroom.

Just as they entered, JoyBoy discovered the mood in the classroom was somewhat peculiar. A lot of people's gazes were fixed on Tang San. The number of female students were about the same as the male students in the classroom, and these female students looking at Tang San, for the most part displaying pure astonishment. But the male students looked at Tang San with gazes that clearly held bad intent.

Everyone looked at him once because he was famous for his shop and then they all focused on Tang San. JoyBoy quickly grabbed the corner seat in the front row and started waiting for teacher after sitting down.

Soon a student named Tai Long challenged Tang San to a duel, who defeated him in a single move. At just this time the teacher walked in. The arrival was an acquaintance, the Sweet Pea Spirit Master from Shrek Academy, Shao Xin.

"What's going on here? Little San."

When Shao Xin saw the spider web his gaze immediately turned to Tang San, unable to stop a scowl.

"Are you bullying your classmates on your first day?"

Tang San helplessly raised his right hand towards Tai Long and a Blue Silver Grass strand drifted out, landing on the spider web. With an effort of spirit power he withdrew the net.

"I won't accept it."

Without the spider web's restriction, Tai Long fiercely leapt up from the ground. He wasn't a gangster, and said to Shao Xin

"Teacher, just now I was the one to challenge Tang San. I was just careless, and was beaten by him. Tang San, I won't accept it. I demand a duel."

Xiao Wu couldn't help but say

"Are you senseless, don't you have a brain? A strength model Spirit Master challenging a control system Spirit Master? Do you have water for brains?"

"I..."

Tai Long's expression changed as he recalled that spider web that left him completely helpless. Although he was physically powerful, the poison from the spider web still hadn't faded, and right now he was still numb and aching at the same time but in his mind, he felt very angry.

"With skill, we won't use spirits. We'll fight physically."

Saying this, Tai Long himself was the first to blush. A lot of the students also had disdainful looks. But the students didn't expect Tang San to actually nod.

"Fine."

While speaking, he once again stood up and walked towards Tai Long. Shao Xin struck the lectern several times.

"Where do you think you are? The spirit arena? If you want to fight, find someplace after class. It's time for class now. If you don't care about punishment, then do continue."

Tai Long glared at Tang San

"I'll wait for you after class."

Tang San only nodded at him, and after apologizing to Shao Xin he sat back down next to Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu came close to Tang San's ear, whispering

"Big brother, since coming to this class Tai Long has always been fawning on me, but I don't care to pay any attention to him. Sort him out properly today so he won't bother me later."

Tang San looked at Xiao Wu and nodded.

"Fine."

While the disturbance was settled like this, Tang San still aroused a lot of students' interest. Not just the male students hostile to him, a lot of female students were also interested. A teenaged youth knocking down the Academy chief, his future prospects were clearly amazingly bright. Shao Xin coughed once, and formally started class.

"Today's topic is the effect of food system Spirit Masters on the battlefield. As everyone knows, food system Spirit Masters are the weakest in the Spirit Master world, but at the same time they're existences that no Spirit Master can ignore. With a food system Spirit Master as companion, your fighting strength would increase substantially, especially in terms of ability to continue fighting. Next, I will touch on all the effects of food system Spirit Masters on the battlefield..."

Shao Xin's lecture wasn't lively, and in the whole class the only food system Spirit Master was Oscar. Consequently, only he and JoyBoy listened with keen interest, while more and more appeared drowsy.

The Academy's curriculum wasn't harsh, much like that of the majority of Spirit Master academies: classes in the morning, and in the afternoon the students would cultivate on their own. Very quickly the morning classes ended.

After that, JoyBoy went to open his shop for business while Tang San and others went to the forest behind the teaching block to beat up Tai Long. While JoyBoy was selling his food items, he made sure to save some for his friends like usual. He would still charge them the same price but would always save some for them.

After beating Tai Long, Tang San and Xiao Wu came to his shop and he gave each of them one Veg Fried Rice combo and one Omelet Rice combo at his usual price. Tang San and Xiao Wu finished the food given to them in moments and left for Auction House with an extremely satisfied expression.

After some time, he saw a beat up Tai Long with a middle aged man who he assumed to be his father from the novel near the Shrek Academy enterance. Seeing them, he couldn't help himself and he laughed lightly. He remembered the story of their clan from the novel and knew that soon they will become one of Tang San's most loyal followers.

Shrek Academy, entrance.

"Dad, please return. This issue is between us students. You coming here, won't I lose even more face?"

Tai Long said while tolerating the pain and inhaling. His face had swollen like a pig's head, with evident problems moving his body. Only with another student's support by the arm could he stand steadily.

In front of him, a middle aged man with a body larger than him by one size furiously watched the passing students. This person's appearance and Tai Long's had up to eighty percent resemblance, only that he looked a bit older, his outer clothing was unable to cover up those swelling muscles, and his face had sturdy look.

"My son got beaten up till his joints are all dislocated, if I, your father, were to tolerate it, I wouldn't be worthy of being called Vigorous King Tai Nuo. You little rascal, only know how to disgrace me, can't even win against a ten-something year old kid. I came to see who is so formidable to even dare to beat up the son of Tai Nuo."

Tai Long currently had a face of helplessness, inwardly regretting returning home to rest. As of now his four limbs' joints were connected again. In spite of his fearless defense, to be beaten by Tang San into a state of chaos and darkness wasn't something that could be recovered in a short period of time.

"Dad, your actions are putting me in a difficult position. In the future how am I supposed to continue cultivation in the academy?"

Tai Long continued to advise his own father with a bitter smile.

"Get along my ass. Other people graduated long ago at thirty ranks, yet your broken down academy still wants to create this god-knows-what advanced class. So be it, even you got beaten till this state, nobody cared. Wait till I catch that fellow, I will definitely find your academy's teachers and have it out."

"This. Dad, it was I who had an issue. Nothing to do with Tang San."

"You still have the face to speak. Picking a fight and getting beaten up like that. You really disgraced me as your father."

Some of the students passing by naturally recognized Tai Long, but once seeing Tai Nuo's fiendish expression, nobody dared to move up close, immediately hastening their footsteps when passing by.

"Tai Long, what are you doing here? Still not giving in?"

Tang San and Xiao Wu finally returned, Xiao Wu whom at first sight spotted Tai Long's face that is swollen like a pig's head, couldn't help but say.
