Ma Hongjun shared a room with Dai Mubai. Currently, he is lying on the bed, still receiving treatment.
Various teachers, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Tang San stood nearby, watching.
Ao Tian also walked in to check on this chubby guy.
Ma Hongjun hadn't lost consciousness. He looked at his charred body, even able to catch whiffs of the scent of burnt flesh. His heart trembled in fear.
Especially when he heard that he might lose his vital organ, he was filled with extreme dread. Without that, what meaning would there be in living?
"Teacher, I don't want to become a eunuch. You must help me!" Ma Hongjun, unable to move in bed, sobbed and pleaded.
Flender also grew angry. He scolded, "All you ever think about is women. It might be better for you to become a eunuch, so you don't end up burning yourself to death one day."
Ma Hongjun immediately fell silent, only able to sob.
Feeling that his words had been too harsh, Flender softened his tone a bit and asked, "What exactly happened? How did your flames end up burning you?"
Ma Hongjun wanted to shake his head, but even a slight movement caused intense pain. Tears streamed from his eyes as he said, "I don't know. I was still in battle mode at the time, and somehow, these flames suddenly became uncontrollable."
The healing teacher, drenched in sweat, stopped. His soul power was already depleted. He said, "I've run out of soul power. Oscar, use a sausage to treat him for now. I'll come back later tonight. His new skin is starting to grow. Don't try to pick off that layer of charred dead skin. Let it naturally shed."
Oscar conjured a large sausage and offered it to Ma Hongjun's mouth.
Although they had been together for a few years, Ma Hongjun, like Dai Mubai, was very resistant to Oscar's large sausages. But now, for the sake of his own body, he had to swallow it down, no matter how repulsed he felt.
Ma Hongjun opened his mouth, tugging at the injured skin on his face. Instantly, more blood oozed out.
Flender quickly stopped him, saying, "Forget it, don't give him anything to eat for now. Make some porridge for him to drink."
After saying this, he looked at Dai Mubai and said, "Mubai, since you and Hongjun are roommates, take care of him during his recovery."
Dai Mubai was momentarily taken aback and asked, "If he needs to relieve himself, do I have to assist him and then wipe him?"
"What, can't you handle this bit of hardship?" Flender looked coldly at Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, fine, I'll take care of him."
Oscar couldn't help but snicker on the side.
Flender glanced at Oscar and said, "Oscar, you'll also take turns with Mubai to take care of Hongjun."
"Dean, I...," Oscar was about to protest, but when he saw the look Flender shot him, he couldn't find the words to say.
"Little Oscar, just accept it. From now on, you'll handle his needs, and I'll be responsible for making him porridge," Dai Mubai said.
"You must be dreaming!" Oscar immediately felt a strong urge to vomit and quickly refused.
Flender was getting a little impatient. He said, "How you arrange it is up to the two of you. Just make sure to take good care of him."
After that, he turned to Ao Tian and said, "Go call those girls to the training ground. I have something to say."
Flender still remembered Ao Tian. Two days ago, Ao Tian had come to his shop with Xiao Wu, Gu Yuena, and Zhu Zhuqing. Although there was no conversation between them, with Ao Tian and those three girls' exceptional looks, how could Flender forget them?
"Alright." Ao Tian turned and walked out.
"Tang San, come with me for now," Flender said.
"Yes, Dean." Tang San followed Flender out to the training ground.
After a while, Ao Tian arrived with the four girls.
Flender opened his eyes and looked at these new students in front of him, appearing somewhat satisfied.
Shortly after returning last night, he had already heard Zhao Wuji's report. This year's new students were all rare geniuses.
What shocked him the most was that among these six new students, three had already broken through to the Spirit Elder realm. Spirit Elders not older than thirteen, Flender was well aware of what this meant.
This was simply unprecedented. With his knowledge, he had never heard of such monstrous talents before.
Their talents surpass those of Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun by a considerable margin.
Flender was also quite pleased with Tang San. While he hadn't yet reached the Spirit Elder level, his soul power had reportedly reached level thirty. His talent was likely not inferior to those three monsters.
Then there were two girls, one from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and another with a Hell Civet martial soul. They were probably from the Zhu Family of the Star Luo Empire. Flender was also quite satisfied with them.
"You should all still remember me; we met just a couple of days ago," Flender said.
"That's right, I am Flender, the dean of Shrek Academy. From now on, you are all members of Shrek Academy. At Shrek Academy, you must abide by our rules..."
Shrek Academy's rules weren't many, but they were strict. Flender explained them in just a few minutes.
"Now, if any of you feel unable to accept the rules of the academy, I can still give you a chance to leave."
He looked at Ao Tian and the others, seeing that none of them spoke. He nodded in satisfaction.
He pointed to a large clock behind him and said, "The training courses and times at the academy are not fixed. Whenever you hear the bell, you must immediately gather here."
"Yes, Dean!" Tang San stood up straight and answered loudly.
Ao Tian and the others remained silent, making Tang San suddenly feel a bit awkward.
Flender looked at Tang San and said, "Today, you can arrange your own time. Adjust your own condition. Tomorrow morning, Teacher Zhao will lead you to the Star Dou Forest to help Tang San obtain his third spirit ring and advance to Spirit Elder."
Tang San felt somewhat moved. He had been waiting for this third spirit ring for several months. He hadn't expected that upon arriving at Shrek Academy, the first thing the dean arranged for him would be to help him obtain a spirit ring.
Zhu Zhuqing looked a bit hesitant, as if she wanted to say something.
Flender said, "There's nothing else. You can all disperse now. Tang San, come with me. I have some questions for you."
"Dean." Zhu Zhuqing finally spoke, calling out.
Flender looked at Zhu Zhuqing and asked, "Is there something else?"
"Dean, my soul power has also reached level thirty, but I haven't obtained a spirit ring yet."
Flender was momentarily taken aback and asked, "Wasn't your soul power twenty-seventh level when you were tested yesterday?"
He wasn't present at the scene yesterday, but through reports from other teachers, he was well-informed about the situation.
Zhu Zhuqing said, "I held back a bit during the test yesterday. In fact, I reached level thirty not long ago."
Flender smiled and suddenly burst into hearty laughter, saying, "Good, very good! Tomorrow, when you go to the Star Dou Forest, Teacher Zhao will also help you find a suitable spirit ring."
"Thank you, Dean," Zhu Zhuqing said.
"Alright, all of you can go back now," Flender waved his hand, finally feeling a bit better.
Flender walked towards his office, with Tang San following behind him.
"Tang San." Ning Rongrong called out from behind.
Tang San turned back.
"Thank you for defeating Teacher Zhao yesterday and allowing us to successfully enter Shrek Academy," Ning Rongrong said.
Tang San smiled and said, "We're all classmates, no need to be polite."
With that, he hurriedly caught up with Flender.
Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment and said, "Xiao Qing, are you really planning to kill spirit beasts to absorb spirit rings?"
