Chapter 147: Circumstances Are Stronger Than the People!

When they first arrived, the Shrek Academy group followed Qin Ming to this place.

No matter how good the conditions were, this was still not Shrek Academy; it wasn't their home, so they naturally couldn't feel as at ease as they did before.

Although Frand maintained a smile on his face, after so many years of enjoying freedom, he couldn't help but feel a little sour inside.

No matter how small Shrek Academy was, he was still its principal.

Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix!

But now, there was no way out.

For the bet, all of this had to be done.

If he backed out now, all the time he had spent would have been in vain.

All the scheming against Qin Ming would have been for nothing!

No matter how good Tian Dou Royal Academy was, it still wasn't as warm as home. 

However, Frand's mood soon relaxed significantly.

When they arrived at the entrance to the Teaching Committee of Tian Dou Royal Academy, the three elders had already been waiting there.

The three elders, though simply standing there, gave off a very special aura, as though they were the core of the main campus of Tian Dou Royal Academy and the entire academy itself.

Even though they wore gentle smiles, their powerful presence could not be hidden.

Each of the three elders wore black robes, with gold thread embroidered with strange patterns on them.

These robes weren't exclusive to them but were special robes given by the Spirit Hall to Soul Douluos above level 80, symbolizing their status.

These robes were second only to the red robes worn by Title Douluos.

Generally speaking, these robes were rarely worn by Soul Douluos or Title Douluos.

They represented not just identity but also formality.

These special robes were only worn during battles against opponents of the same rank or on very important occasions.

Since the three elders wore these robes, it could only mean one thing: they were showing great respect for Shrek Academy and its group.

Even Frand, no matter how proud he was, couldn't help but feel flattered by such respect.

He had always believed in the principle of "respect others as they respect me."

When others showed such respect, how could he not reciprocate?

Of course, the most crucial factor was that circumstances were stronger than the people!

These were Soul Douluos!

With this thought in mind, Frand quickened his pace. When he stopped, his hands were already crossed over his shoulders, and he slightly bent at the waist.

"Shrek Academy, Frand, Martial Soul: Cat Eagle, Sensitive Attack, 78th-level Soul Saint with seven rings, greetings, seniors."

In the Soul Master world, such a gesture was the proper respect a junior would show to their seniors.

Although Frand was over fifty, facing these elders who were at least eighty years old, his gesture of respect wasn't too much.

The elder in the middle of the three laughed heartily and walked over to Frand, pulling his hand from his shoulder.

"Director Frand, there's no need for such courtesy. I've heard so much about you! It's truly an honor to have the teachers from the Monster Academy here."

"I'm the head of the Teaching Committee, Meng Shenji, Martial Soul: Black Demon, Control System, 86th-level, 8-ringed Soul Douluo. Let me introduce the others."

Meng Shenji was of medium build and very slim. He appeared almost frail, but his voice carried a slight hint of craftiness that wasn't unpleasant, giving him a very approachable aura.

With his white hair and glowing complexion, despite his thin frame, he exuded a remarkably vibrant spirit.

As he spoke, Meng Shenji pointed to the elder on his left.

"This is the vice-chairman of the Teaching Committee, Bai Baoshan, Soul Douluo, Martial Soul: Heavenly Star Furnace, Defensive System, 85th-level, 8-ringed Soul Douluo."

Bai Baoshan's physique was the exact opposite of Meng Shenji's: short but extremely fat. He was the stereotypical round figure, with a waist and height both about four feet.

His face always wore a kind smile, and his cheeks shook with his smile.

Upon hearing his introduction, Bai Baoshan nodded with a smile at Frand.

Meng Shenji then pointed to the last elder.

"This is the third member of the Teaching Committee, Zhilin Soul Douluo, Martial Soul: Heavenly Green Vine, Control System, 83rd-level, 8-ringed Weapon Soul Douluo."

Zhilin appeared the most normal of the three. He had an ordinary look, but his eyes, which occasionally gleamed with a sharp brightness, gave him a special aura.

Even though Frand had already known that all three of them were Soul Douluos above level 80, he still felt a shock when Meng Shenji introduced them.

Especially with two of them being Control System Soul Douluos, which made them even more intimidating.

Everyone knew that while the Power Attack System's attacks were fierce, the Control System was the most difficult to handle and the most feared opponent.

Unless one had the proper counters, it was very difficult to defeat a Control System Soul Master of the same rank in a one-on-one battle.

Frand quickly introduced the teachers from Shrek Academy, but didn't mention the students, as they were only disciples.

However, Frand could tell that the three elders from the Teaching Committee seemed to have more interest in the Shrek Academy teachers than the students.

Meng Shenji didn't waste any time and immediately said, "Everyone, don't be so polite. Now that you're here, consider this your home. Please, come inside."

The Teaching Committee wasn't as luxurious as expected. On the contrary, their place was quite simple.

It only had the necessary furnishings and a few simple potted plants.

The guests and hosts sat, and because there weren't many chairs in the Teaching Committee, the Shrek Seven Monsters had to stand behind the teachers, their eyes filled with excitement.

After all, sitting in front of them were three Soul Douluos.

In the entire Soul Master world, Soul Masters who could reach this level were extremely rare.

Each of them possessed immense strength, and even if they couldn't destroy the world, they could easily traverse through millions of soldiers without a second thought.

Meng Shenji had servants bring tea and snacks, then turned his gaze toward the standing Shrek Seven Monsters, smiling, and said, "I heard from Qin Ming that your academy defeated our Royal Dou Battle Team."

"I'm truly surprised. Monster Academy is indeed a place where monsters gather. Qin Ming's achievements have already amazed me, but I didn't expect your academy to have so many talented geniuses."

Frand let out a bitter laugh and said, "Shrek Academy no longer exists."

Meng Shenji, his expression serious, replied:

"No, look at these children behind you. Their future achievements, as well as those of the students who graduated from Shrek Academy, will always be part of Shrek."

"Qin Ming has already made it very clear. It is our honor to have you all come to our academy. Unless you teachers wish it, the academy will not assign any teaching tasks to you."

"Here, everything is free for you. If you need anything, just let me know. As long as it's within my authority, it will be taken care of."
