It didn't take long after entering Shrek Academy for everyone to be seated. As soon as they arrived, everyone understood the purpose of this trip.

Secondly, Shrek Academy is incredibly small. Yes, it may sound like a joke, but at this time, Shrek Academy cannot be compared to most soul master academies.

Most soul master academies, not just the most "advanced" soul master academies! Even the land area of Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy and the various facilities in the academy are superior to the current Shrek Academy.

At the very least, Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy has its own exclusive residence, which is located in a relatively prosperous area within the city.

On the other hand, Shrek Academy can only live in a small village. And it's located dozens of miles outside Soto City, in a small village. Of course, the only advantage Shrek Academy can offer is the strength of its teachers.

There is no other junior academy that has a soul saint leading a team, but Shrek Academy has one. Even the leader of the Imperial Fighting Team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy is only a soul emperor!

Moreover, this soul emperor holds positions in both the Heaven Dou Empire and the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. He was specifically assigned this position to provide the current prince with an opportunity to develop his backbone.

Otherwise, how could a soul emperor hold such a position without much pressure?

Isn't it expected that he will become the link between the prince and the Huangdou team?

The Heaven Dou Empire carefully considered this decision, which shows that Shrek Academy has distanced itself from most soul master academies in terms of teaching staff.

Perhaps only a powerful force like Wuhundian, which often has titled Douluo members, dares to assemble a team consisting of twenty soul saints and two titled Douluo.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that all members of the team are from the golden generation.

"Rongrong~"

Upon hearing Ning Fengzhi's voice, Ning Rongrong, who was also in the room, snorted coldly, turned her head away, and didn't give Ning Fengzhi any face.

Alright... the little witch lost her temper again.

Ning Fengzhi helplessly smiled wryly and, under the threatening gazes of Uncle Jian and Uncle Gu, shamefully gave up the idea of reprimanding Ning Rongrong. Perhaps the old fox didn't even intend to reprimand her in the first place.

After calming Ning Fengzhi down, Chen Xin and Gu Rong carefully consoled the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"Rongrong, come home. Don't worry! If that boy Ning dares to force you to practice again, I will force him to practice!"

Upon hearing Uncle Jian's nonsensical words, Ning Fengzhi was speechless. He was already level seventy-nine, and due to the limitations of his martial soul, no matter how much he cultivates, he won't be able to make any progress.

So, his cultivation efforts were in vain. The only way for him to make further progress is to obtain a great opportunity and break the restrictions of his Martial Soul.

Fortunately, at that moment, Xue Qinghe seemed to notice something and spoke up to relieve Ning Fengzhi, preventing further embarrassment.

At this point, the room was divided into two factions. One included Chen Xin, Gu Rong, and Ning Rongrong, while the other consisted of the three old foxes: Xue Qinghe, Flender, and Ning Fengzhi.

As the saying goes, they are all experienced individuals, so there's no need to play games or beat around the bush. They can speak candidly.

Of course, this is just the prelude. The key still depends on when that "peerless genius" will arrive. After all, seeing is believing.

Ning Fengzhi, the Sect Master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, wouldn't recruit geniuses without careful consideration and without getting to know them first.

What if there's an old fox who likes to think differently and sends a genius as an undercover agent?

While the three old foxes were smiling and testing each other, on the other side, Gu Rong and Chen Xin were somewhat overwhelmed.

Ning Rongrong's clear eyes were filled with doubts. This sudden and unexpected visit didn't seem to be about her at all. It was to attract that hateful and repugnant Lu Yuan!

Pouting her mouth, big teardrops instantly appeared in Ning Rongrong's eyes, causing the two Title Douluo to panic.

"Rongrong, don't cry. Have you been treated unfairly here? Tell me, and I'll take revenge for you!"

"Fart! Do you need to seek revenge for her?"

"What's wrong? Can't I seek revenge on Rongrong's behalf?"

"As for your martial soul, after the beating, that little shit might not even know who did it!"

"Hey! Each move is executed perfectly! I'll be humiliated!"

Within two or three exchanges, they were about to quarrel again.

As expected of the two titled Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Their understanding is remarkable.

Seeing that Grandpa Jian and Grandpa Bone ignored her, Ning Rongrong was stunned for a moment. With a "wow," she was about to cry.

Precisely at that moment, a helpless voice suddenly sounded.

"Don't cry. How old are you? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

A familiar voice! And that sudden spatial fluctuation!

Xue Qinghe, Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong, and Chen Xin subconsciously looked at the person who had arrived.

Emerging from the void, Lu Yuan nodded to Xue Qinghe, then smiled at Ning Rongrong and joked, "What's up? Miss Ning doesn't recognize me anymore? I'm the one you chatted with when I entered the school. You brought me a bottle of water."

The tears that were about to spill from her eyes were instantly held back.

To be honest, every time this incident was brought up, Ning Rongrong would grind her teeth in anger.

She had listened to the other party's nagging for a long time, but it turned out to be all meaningless words. She had given away a bottle of water for nothing, only to realize that the other party was teasing her.

Looking at Ning Rongrong, whose face was flushed with anger, Lu Yuan grinned and snapped his fingers.

"See, don't you feel better now?"

Gritting her teeth, Ning Rongrong couldn't be bothered to pay attention to this big fool who enjoyed teasing others. She snorted coldly, turned her head, and stopped looking at him.

The room fell into instant silence. Complete silence enveloped the space.

Flender cleared his throat and, with a palm-like gesture, pointed at Lu Yuan to introduce him:

"This is Lu Yuan, currently studying at our Shrek Academy. It seems you two know each other?"

Despite Flender's attempts to conceal his smug expression, the old fox Ning Fengzhi still caught a glimpse of it.

Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but rub his forehead. He seemed to be pondering, struggling to accept this fact. After a prolonged silence, Ning Fengzhi spoke again:

"Young man, we can't hide it from you!"

"You had this ability all along, so why didn't you just say it?"

"Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan, a name with multiple meanings and homophones. Could it be 'Liu Yuan'?"

The question remained: why did he change his name? He was so talented, yet he cautiously used a pseudonym that didn't match his age! At this age, shouldn't most young talents be filled with arrogance?

However, upon further reflection, Ning Fengzhi realized that in the complex world of soul masters, having an alias seemed to be quite common.

Moreover, the other party seemed incredibly arrogant. He even said, 'Dare to say: If even he is not qualified to be arrogant, all the geniuses in his same era are even less qualified to be arrogant.'

Countless doubts flooded Ning Fengzhi's mind in an instant. After a moment of silence, he let out a long sigh, clearly attempting to sort out his thoughts.

To summarize it in one sentence: fixed thinking leads to failure. No one stipulated that the other party could only stay in this academy for three months.

Similarly, no one stipulated that the other party had to tell the truth to anyone they encountered.

Therefore, it could only be said that he had been careless and made a mistake. He couldn't blame the other party from beginning to end for this matter. However, he still felt inexplicably aggrieved.
