The Change in Rhythm
After Prince Xue Beng was scared away, Ning Rongrong asked somewhat strangely, "Little Xiongzi, that guy was so arrogant just now, how did he get scared away in the blink of an eye? What did you say to him just now?"
Yang Xiong smiled, "Rong Rong, haven't you seen him before? This Xue Beng is the son of the Emperor Xue Ye. I just told him directly that if he dared to provoke us, I would have your Sword Grandfather chop him down."
Ning Rongrong spat directly, "How did I think this guy looked a bit familiar? So it was Prince Xue Beng. Crown Prince Brother did take me to see him before, but I don't have much of an impression of this kind of person. It's said that not only is his strength low, but he's also uneducated and unskilled. Even Crown Prince Brother is too lazy to discipline him."
Yang Xiong smiled slightly, "Rong Rong, are you very familiar with the Crown Prince?"
Ning Rongrong said, "Crown Prince Xue Qinghe is my father's student. He is refined and generous, and my father thinks highly of him."
Yang Xiong pinched Ning Rongrong's little face, "It seems you have a pretty good impression of this Crown Prince. It's making me a little jealous. Since he is the Sect Leader's disciple, didn't the Sect Leader and the Emperor Xue Ye ever think of bringing you two together?"
Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes directly at Yang Xiong, "I just see him as an older brother, and he just sees me as a little sister. It's not as dirty as you think. Besides, he is the heir to the Heaven Dou Empire, and I am the heir to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. People with our status cannot be together."
Yang Xiong seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "That's good, otherwise I wouldn't have a chance. But there's a saying, 'You know a person's face but not their heart.' The palace is really not a good place, and these people are probably not simple either."
Ning Rongrong pinched Yang Xiong, "Look at you, anyone who doesn't know you would think you're a playboy."
Yang Xiong's eyes narrowed slightly. It seemed that both Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong trusted this Xue Qinghe very much. He would have to put in a little effort next, otherwise he might really be tricked by him.
In the original Soul Hunting Operation, neither the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect nor the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family received any advance notice. One must know that the mobilization of tens of thousands of Soul Masters is absolutely not that simple, and it was within the Heaven Dou Empire. It is estimated that this fake Xue Qinghe provided cover.
...
Under the leadership of Teacher Sun, everyone quickly arrived at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's teaching committee building.
Compared to Shrek Academy, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy was like paradise. Whether it was the architecture, the students, or even the environment, it was all very good.
Dai Mubai was a little confused, "The Royal Fight Team from last time was pretty good, why do the people who provoked us just now feel so like spoiled brats?"
Everyone was also very confused. Yang Xiong couldn't help but laugh, "They're just nobles, isn't that how it is? I estimate the Star Luo Royal Academy is similar. After all, they are not a Sect, but more of a means for the royal family to win people over."
Dai Mubai was thoughtful upon hearing this, while the others didn't care much. After all, everyone wanted to study in a luxurious and comfortable environment.
Qin Ming joined the team on the way, looking like he had just finished being busy and rushed over.
Qin Ming gave an introduction to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, including the treatment of students and teachers.
According to Qin Ming, after entering the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, all the Shrek members would be taught by their original teachers and would not join the current classes.
After the students joined the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, they would all enjoy the highest student treatment, being trained directly according to team standards. Even the teachers would all receive the treatment of Heaven Dou level class teachers. All living expenses would be covered by the academy, and they would even receive a monthly allowance of three thousand Gold Soul Coins.
Everyone was dazzled upon hearing this. Tuition and living expenses were completely free, there were various educational resources, and even Medicinal Bath materials would be provided by the academy. In addition, various Simulated Environments could be used for free. In comparison, it was indeed like paradise.
Even a few teachers were a little moved. They had not expected the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to have such a comfortable environment and such good treatment. It was much better than wandering alone before.
Yang Xiong and Ning Rongrong followed at the back of the team, appearing very casual about Qin Ming's words. In fact, this model was somewhat similar to a Sect, but unfortunately, the restraint was too poor. These teachers could basically leave whenever they wanted, and in the end, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy would probably just be doing work for others.
Upon arriving at the teaching committee building, it was clear that the Heaven Dou Royal Academy attached great importance to the Shrek group. They were actually received by the three major teaching committee members simultaneously, and the three of them stood directly at the entrance of the teaching committee building.
At the entrance of the teaching building stood three old men, each wearing a special black robe. The robes had special gold embroidery. Only Soul Douluo could wear this kind of clothing, and normal Soul Masters would only wear this kind of clothing on important occasions.
Flander seemed to be stunned by the solemnity of the people in front of him. He quickly stepped forward and bowed, which was the etiquette of a junior towards elders.
"Flander of Shrek Academy greets the seniors."
The old man in the center laughed heartily, "Good, Dean Flander, no need to be polite. The Four-Eyed Cat Owl, one of the Golden Iron Triangle, I have long admired your name. It is our honor that you can join our Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
"I am Meng Shenji, Martial Soul Black Demon, Control System, eighty-sixth level, eight-ring Battle Soul Douluo. To my left is Vice Chairman of the Academy's Teaching Committee, Soul Douluo Bai Baoshan, Martial Soul Heaven Star Furnace, Defense System, eighty-fifth level, eight-ring Battle Soul Douluo. To my right is the third member of the Teaching Committee, Soul Douluo Zhi Lin, Martial Soul Azure Vine, Control System, eighty-third level, eight-ring Tool Soul Douluo."
Meng Shenji was of medium height and very thin, looking like he didn't have much flesh on him. Bai Baoshan's build was the opposite of Meng Shenji's; he wasn't tall but was extremely fat, clearly the type of person with a strong physique. Zhi Lin had a very ordinary appearance.
However, all three of them seemed exceptionally easygoing, especially Meng Shenji, who appeared full of vigor. It was as if there was a certain affinity in his words, truly befitting someone who had been involved in education for a long time.
Flander quickly introduced the Shrek teachers and students to the three deans. The three, especially Meng Shenji, were clearly more interested in the students.
It was evident that Meng Shenji had seen everyone's information long ago and had some understanding of all the students' Martial Souls, soul power, and even their backgrounds.
In comparison, Meng Shenji was more interested in the four students from commoner Soul Master backgrounds, including Tang San. He also showed exceptional respect for Ning Rongrong, Yang Xiong, Dai Mubai, and Zhu Zhuqing. These words were completely unlike the attitude of a high-and-mighty Soul Douluo towards ordinary students.
Just then, the eight Shrek members felt a pressure appear out of thin air. This power was entirely emitted by Soul Douluo Bai Baoshan.
Compared to the original story, Tang San wasn't as outstanding in the battle against the Royal Fight Team, nor did he display the phenomenon of turning the tide. This was why pressure was applied to everyone. Clearly, this was a simple entrance examination, and they wanted to test if Yang Xiong and the others' actual performance was as exaggerated as their reputation suggested.
Flander clearly understood the situation and simply smiled from the side. It was evident that he had great confidence in the Shrek group, and he was even more hopeful that the students would be recognized.
As the pressure increased, when it reached around level twenty-eight, Ning Rongrong and Oscar were the first to find it a bit unbearable. After all, they were only Support System Soul Masters. But just as they were about to collapse, the pressure on them instantly disappeared.
As the pressure increased, Ma Hongjun and Zhu Zhuqing also began to fall down respectively, but Yang Xiong, Tang San, and Dai Mubai still stood in place.
Bai Baoshan was also extremely surprised. Compared to Dai Mubai and Tang San, he was more surprised by Yang Xiong's change. Yang Xiong appeared more composed in comparison, but one must know that the pressure he was currently exerting had reached the strength of a level thirty-four Soul Master, while Yang Xiong was only level twenty-eight.
When the pressure reached nearly level thirty-nine, both Dai Mubai and Tang San began to find it a bit unbearable. Sweat had already started to seep from their foreheads, but Yang Xiong acted as if nothing had happened, his expression exceptionally calm.
Normally, Beast Martial Soul Soul Masters have stronger physiques than Tool Soul Masters, but the physiques of Tang San and Dai Mubai were already very close, showing Tang San's control over his body. One must know that Tang San was a full six levels lower than Dai Mubai.
But Yang Xiong was even more exaggerated; it was rare to see a Soul Master withstand pressure more than ten levels higher than their own.
Seeing that Tang San and Dai Mubai's bodies seemed unable to bear it any longer, the pressure on everyone instantly disappeared, and even the pressure on Yang Xiong was removed.
Bai Baoshan glanced at Yang Xiong and the others and couldn't help but nod in praise: "Not bad, their talent is indeed outstanding, and their foundation is very solid. As expected of students from Shrek Academy."
Flander sighed from the side: "Thank you, three deans. These students from Shrek are all excellent. I came to Heaven Dou Royal Academy for their future development, hoping they can have a better cultivation environment and perhaps surpass me in the future, or even reach the realm of Titled Douluo. Of course, they are also the last batch of students from my Shrek Academy."
Meng Shenji spoke to comfort him: "Dean Flander, you can rest assured. As long as they are here at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, I can guarantee that they will receive the best education and we will provide them with the best cultivation environment and facilities. When they reach the peak of Soul Masters in the future, their resumes will only need to include Heaven Dou Royal Academy and us old fellows."
Flander bowed again: "Thank you, three seniors."
...
Without Prince Xue Beng causing trouble and without Dugu Bo's intervention, after some communication, the Shrek group quickly joined Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Just as Meng Shenji said, all the students were actually arranged in the best villas. The villa environment was very good, not only very elegant and quiet, but also an independent small area, nestled against the mountains and beside the water.
Unexpectedly, the Royal Fight Team was also in this villa area. Clearly, this place was prepared for the two teams.
Only after truly entering Heaven Dou Royal Academy did everyone understand how good the treatment of Heaven Dou Royal Academy students truly was.
There were multiple canteens here, and the food in the canteens was extremely rich, even providing a lot of soul beast meat. It looked like every dish was quite valuable. Even all the teachers ate in the canteen, and the three deans did as well.
The Shrek Academy group had a separate teaching area, which was a very large square with complete facilities.
Of course, Heaven Dou Royal Academy occupied an entire large mountain. Countless Simulated Environments were built inside the mountain, suitable for various Soul Masters to cultivate. Even Yang Xiong was surprised looking at the map.
Perhaps because Yang Xiong changed the plot, Dugu Bo did not appear from beginning to end, and he didn't even come to find Tang San alone.
