The tall city gate stood ten meters high and ten meters wide, enough for six riders to pass side by side.
Beside it were two smaller gates, each five meters high and wide, through which pedestrians could only enter. The central main gate was tightly closed.
As the group from Shrek Academy arrived outside the city gate, just as everyone was preparing to enter the city, they noticed a large announcement on the bulletin board next to the gate.
"Now Hiring: Lanba Advanced Soul Master Academy, due to expansion, we are currently seeking the following personnel: ten Soul Masters of level forty and above."
"Priority given to those with high Soul Power; excellent treatment upon hiring."
Seeing this message, Flender feigned surprise and said, "How did this academy's advertisement end up on the city gate bulletin? How much would that cost!"
At this moment, his mood had improved somewhat, and his stingy nature resurfaced.
Qin Ming, who was most familiar with the situation in the capital of the Tiandou Empire, quickly replied, "Any advanced Soul Master academy that can open in Tiandou City has a certain background. Although I don't know the background of this Lanba Academy, during the last Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition, it was this academy that eliminated one of the teams from the Tiandou Royal Academy."
"However, the batch of students from Lanba Academy should have graduated by now, and the strength of the Tiandou Academy's royal battle team this year is much stronger than during the last advanced Soul Master academy competition. They probably won't have much chance this time."
After thinking for a moment, Flender also asked, "What is the scale of this Lanba Academy?"
Qin Ming did not hesitate and answered directly, "It's about one-third the size of the Tiandou Royal Academy. Although it's smaller, being located in Tiandou City means their expenses won't be less than those of the Tiandou Royal Academy; they just lack the royal background."
"I've heard that this academy has very rigorous teaching and has a unique characteristic: it only accepts commoner students and rejects all nobles."
"If it didn't have a background, it would never be able to establish itself in Tiandou City."
A hint of vindictive pleasure appeared in Flender's eyes. "Who says Lanba Academy doesn't have the capital to compete with the Tiandou Royal Academy in this Soul Master Academy competition?"
"They will soon."
Qin Ming was taken aback. "Principal, are you saying..."
Flender sighed and said, "I have thought it through clearly on the way here. Our original Shrek Academy does not truly qualify as an advanced Soul Master academy, and it's not easy to re-establish it."
"There are too many issues to deal with, and I am getting old. I can't let so many old brothers suffer for my elusive ideals."
"Since this Lanba Academy is decent, let's go take a look. Moreover, it is not my style to let today's humiliation go unpunished. What do you all say?"
The last sentence was directed at the other teachers and the Shrek group.
Zhao Wuji chuckled and said, "You're the boss; you can decide. Why ask us?"
After hearing this, Yun Feng rolled his eyes instantly. "I say Flender, if you want to go, just go. Why make such a fuss about it?"
Ning Rongrong, upon hearing Yun Feng's words, recalled some rumors and couldn't help but stifle a laugh.
Flender felt a bit awkward at this moment and instinctively glanced at Yu Xiaogang. After seeing that Yu Xiaogang had no reaction, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as he was about to retort to Yun Feng, he noticed that Yun Feng and the three girls had already left, linking arms in a row, with Yun Feng in the middle.
It was quite a sight!
Spring breeze and swift hooves perfectly described Yun Feng at this moment.
Tiandou City was extremely prosperous, with all streets paved with blue bricks.
Every street was as wide as the main road of Soto City, and the scale of the entire city could only be described as magnificent.
Standing here and looking at this relatively remote academy, Xiao Wu slowly said, "No wonder it's the imperial city; even this small road is much wider than the roads in Soto City!"
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong were more focused on the academy.
The entrance of Lanba Academy looked almost as grand as the city gate of Tiandou City; although it was much thinner, the entrance was indeed ten meters high.
The entrance, carved from white marble, may not be luxurious, but it had a strong presence, with eight gilded characters above it: Lanba Advanced Soul Master Academy.
Yun Feng did not rush the others and waited until they had seen enough before heading into the academy.
As soon as they took a step inside, they were called over by the Soul Master on duty!
"Excuse me, what brings you here?"
Yun Feng and the others turned around, noticing the gatekeeper's extremely friendly attitude, with a smile on his face as he approached them and said, "Excuse me, could you please tell us how to get to the registration office?"
Upon hearing it was for registration, the gatekeeper did not stop them but pointed to the reception room nearby. "It's right next door; you can go there. There are people inside!"
Yun Feng nodded in acknowledgment and led the girls into the reception room.
The person in charge of reception was a middle-aged Soul Master who looked to be in his forties.
Seeing Yun Feng and the others, he slowly opened his mouth and asked, "Are you here to register?"
Yun Feng nodded seriously.
After Yun Feng nodded, the reception teacher looked back at the others. "And you?"
Flender tugged at the corner of his mouth and said, "We are here to register as teachers!"
The reception teacher replied, "Students also need to go through an assessment to enroll. How about this: you Soul Masters can first take our test, since the new student registration period has already passed, and your disciples are a bit young."
Generally speaking, even outstanding Soul Masters must be at least sixteen to eighteen years old to enter an advanced Soul Master academy. The common situation is around twenty years old.
Yun Feng and the others certainly did not look like they were eighteen.
"No problem with the test; where is it held?"
The reception teacher had been waiting here for several days, and the number of Soul Masters coming to register was very few.
After all, being a teacher at a Soul Master academy cannot compare to being affiliated with a big family; that is the best path for high-level Soul Masters.
Now that at least seven people had come to register as teachers, how could he not take it seriously? He quickly said, "I'll take you to take the test."
Walking into Lanba Academy, it felt quite different from the Tiandou Royal Academy.
Although it didn't have the beautiful mountain scenery of the Tiandou Royal Academy, everything here gave a very grand feeling.
The wide paths led straight inside, with rows of trees lining both sides. At the end, one could see a large playground with a diameter of over two hundred meters, surrounded by three-story buildings.
The reception teacher introduced the various facilities in these three-story buildings, which included simulated environment training areas, student dormitories, and teaching buildings.
If the Tiandou Royal Academy was built against the mountains, then this Lanba Academy was established in the heart of the forest.
