Chapter 466: 466: Oh no, the three old men...
Dai Mubai followed closely behind, his speed was neither fast nor slow.
After a while, Dai Mubai finally spoke, "Fatty, you're right. I didn't expect you to be more open-minded than me."
"Of course..."
It wasn't his fiancée who had cheated, nor was it him, Ma Hongjun, who had been humiliated. So why wouldn't he be open-minded? This was the so-called "talking without feeling the pain."
As if reminding something, Ma Hongjun turned to Dai Mubai and said, "By the way, Boas Dai, I want to go back to the academy to see the teachers."
This path wasn't just a random escape route; it was the road to Shrek Academy. He wasn't aimlessly running away but had a planned and purposeful direction.
Dai Mubai looked around at the familiar surroundings and nodded.
He wasn't stupid. After running with Ma Hongjun for a while, he had already figured out Ma Hongjun's intentions.
"Let's go. I also miss the dean and the others, but..." Whether it was Flender or Zhao Wuji, they had treated Dai Mubai well. The thought of Flender's legs being broken made Dai Mubai feel uneasy.
The main culprit, Yu Yuanzhen, was already dead, and even if he wanted to seek revenge, there was no way to do so. As for the accomplices, he will visit them one by one when the opportunity arises.
Ma Hongjun was slightly taken back. Dai Mubai's words were unfinished, but he understood what Dai Mubai was about to say.
Clenching his fists, Ma Hongjun said with determination, "I will definitely help the teachers stand up again. If humans can't do it, then gods can." He had the chance to become a god. If a Titled Douluo couldn't do it, could a god not do it?
"Mm," Dai Mubai nodded in response, and the two of them headed towards Shrek Academy.
Shrek Academy hadn't had an easy time in recent years. Due to the royal family's dislike of Shrek Academy, before Xue Ye had abdicated, they had stripped Shrek Academy of all its resources and investments.
Initially, there was support from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, but after the sect was annihilated, Shrek Academy's situation worsened day by day.
The academy's grounds were vast, but there were few students. After "Xue Qinghe" came to power, he didn't change this policy but instead intensified it.
"Damn the Heaven Dou royal family!" Zhao Wuji clenched his fists and roared in anger. He knew it was pointless, but it was a way to vent his frustration.
"Old Zhao, calm down, calm down. If it really doesn't work, we can go back to Suotuo City. That place is good for retirement," Flender said nonchalantly, waving his hand.
Now, he had completely given up. His legs being crippled was a minor issue; the main thing was that he had resolved his inner turmoil, and he was happy.
If he hadn't known Yu Xiaogang or had seen things more clearly, these tragedies wouldn't have happened.
The second-in-command of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect had been quite satisfied with him. Unfortunately, Yu Xiaogang had led Erlong astray, and even now, it was too late to turn back. Although his body wasn't injured, his heart was scarred.
Zhao Wuji reversed at Flender, his mouth slightly open as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Brother Flender, Brother Zhao, we don't have to suffer under the Heaven Dou royal family. If they don't give us resources, we can go to a small place. With our strength, we won't be short of resources," Liu Erlong said optimistically.
After learning the truth about Yu Xiaogang and taking revenge, she had changed. She had gone from a resentful "young widow" to a lively young girl.
With so many Soul Sages and Soul Emperors, they wouldn't lack cultivating resources in a small town.
"But small places don't produce true dragons," Zhao Wuji's words made everyone fall into deep thought. Upon reflection, it was true.
Tang San was from the Clear Sky Sect, Dai Mubai was a prince of the Star Luo Empire... Except for Ma Hongjun and Oscar, who were lucky, everyone else had a background.
"Hoho, it seems our teachers have missed us a lot while we were away!" Ma Hongjun suddenly appeared in front of Flender, smiling. His smile carries a hint of bitterness.
"Dean, Teacher Zhao, Teacher Erlong!" Dai Mubai followed closely behind, appearing in a flash.
"You... you..." Flender's eyes broadened as he tried to stand up, but he realized he had no legs, which made the situation awkward.
"Hongjun, Mubai!"
"Teacher, I'm back!"
"Back... it's good to be back!" The scene became somewhat emotional.
"You two have made a lot of progress in your strength!" Zhao Wuji said after a while. He was now a Soul Douluo, but he hadn't noticed how Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai had appeared. Their strength was likely above his.
"It's just luck, just luck," Ma Hongjun scratched his head, smiling sheepishly.
"Fatty and I had some opportunities and became heirs of Divine Inheritance," Dai Mubai said openly. Such things should be shared with their teachers to make them happy.
Upon hearing this, the others opened their mouths in disbelief. Inheritors of God?
"You are heirs of Divine Inheritance?" They were familiar with this term, especially since Ning Fengzhi becoming an heir of a Divine Inheritance had been widely spread.
"Yes, I am the heir of the God of War, and Fatty is the heir of the Phoenix God," Dai Mubai said without hiding anything.
"Good, heroes emerge from the young. You are the best students of the academy!" Zhao Wuji laughed, walking over to the two and patting their shoulders.
His body was strong, but his height was a disadvantage, making the gesture look somewhat comical. Although they didn't know how strong the God of War and the Phoenix God were, they were still gods.
After Ning Fengzhi revealed his status as an heir of a Divine Inheritance, he had gained many followers, and more rogue cultivators had joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were heirs of two Divine Inheritance...
"What level are you now?" Upon hearing this, the two exchanged glances.
"Ma Hongjun, Martial Spirit: Dark Phoenix, Level 92, Attack System Titled Douluo, Title: Phoenix!"
"Dai Mubai, Martial Spirit: White Tiger, Level 92, Attack System Titled Douluo, Title: White Tiger!"
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun almost simultaneously released their spirits to make it clearer for their teachers. Purple, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black, red.
Three purple, five black, and one red spirit rings made Zhao Wuji, Flender, and the others even more pleased.
As heirs of Divine Inheritance, their spirit rings broke common sense... Well, compared to the disciples of the Body Sect, their spirit ring configuration was just average.
However, as their teachers, they couldn't dampen the mood and could only nod in approval.
The two quickly retracted their spirits and suppressed their aura. The people in front of them weren't enemies, so showing off a bit was enough.
Just as they were happily chatting, a voice interrupted their harmony.
"Dean, Deputy Dean! Oh no, the three deans of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy have come with a menacing aura!"
"???"
###
Chapter 467: Who Doesn't Have a 100,000-Year Soul Ring?
"What?"
"What are those three old geezers here for?"
Flender, Liu Erlong, and Zhao Wuji looked puzzled, unable to recall any recent conflicts with these old men.
"If they come, so be it. Are we afraid of them?"
Ma Hongjun stepped forward, a look of disdain on his face.
Once just a Soul Master, he had witnessed Qin Ming's death, powerless to stop it.
Now, as a Titled Douluo, was he supposed to fear three Soul Douluo-level old men?
"Hmph, I was just thinking there's no one to settle the old debts with."
Dai Mubai also clenched his fists, his face filled with anger, but his eyes flickered with contempt.
The gap between a Titled Douluo and a Soul Douluo was even greater than that between a man and a dog!
The five of them exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.
"Later, let's not act rashly. Wait and see what they're planning first."
Flender's eyes gleamed with wisdom as he spoke.
He too wanted revenge, but feared the consequences.
These old men represent the Heaven Dou Imperial Family and were the masters of that person. If not handled properly, the Shrek Academy might face annihilation.
Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai didn't think much of it and nodded in agreement, as they held great respect for Flender.
Soon, they arrived on the training grounds, where the three imposing old men had been waiting for some time.
"Flender, Zhao Wuji, Liu Erlong, we've come today…"
Without wasting words, Meng Shenji stated their purpose directly.
"Back then, Liu Erlong obtained this land through the special approval of the previous emperor, who granted it based on Yu Yuanzhen's reputation."
"Over the years, the Shrek Academy has failed to meet His Majesty's expectations, not cultivating a single talent for the empire. Instead, using the empire's resources to help the princes of other nations grow…"
Meng Shenji's words were logical and well-founded, leaving Flender and the others momentarily speechless.
First, during Liu Erlong's tenure, the Blue Tyrant Academy only admitted commoners, who, under her guidance, held a deep disdain for the nobility.
Second, after Flender took over, the Shrek Academy immediately clashed with the Heaven Dou Imperial Family and the Imperial Academy, escalating to a life-and-death rivalry.
Spending the empire's resources without cultivating talent for the nation, instead aiding the growth of foreign princes…
What kind of good fortune was this?
The Four Elemental Academies were different, they were the backbone of the empire!
When the Four Elemental Academies demanded a piece of land from the empire to form a more powerful Elemental Academy, could the empire refuse?
The first thought was naturally of the Shrek Academy, so to speak…
Upon hearing Meng Shenji's words, everyone understood the purpose of these three old men.
They were here to reclaim the land of the Shrek Academy!
They were trying to drive Shrek Academy away!
Flender and the others had already considered leaving, but they didn't want to be forced out.
Leaving on their own was one thing, it meant they were weary of Heaven Dou City and the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.
Being driven out was another matter entirely.
"Flender, make way for the loyal subjects of the empire. I'm old and don't want to fight."
Meng Shenji crossed his arms, a smile on his face.
Everyone: …
In the face of silence, one either perishes or explodes.
"Meng Shenji, an old man who refuses to die is a thief. You old geeks want to drive us out?"
"Hmph, we're not leaving. You're the one who should act!"
Ma Hongjun stepped forward, standing in front of the group, taunting.
The Shrek Academy members knew they were in the wrong and couldn't refute Meng Shenji's words, especially with Dai Mubai present.
But what they excelled at wasn't reasoning.
It was being unreasonable!
In this continent where strength was denied, no reasoning was valid. Only strength mattered.
Before, they lacked strength, but now they have become Titled Douluos!
Seeing a young man step forward, Meng Shenji was surprised.
Was this young man foolish or did he have some hidden backing?
"Young man, whether you're foolish or have backing, today this land must be reclaimed!"
"All members of the Shrek Academy must leave this place!"
As expected of a noble and an instructor of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, even when being aggressive, he maintains politeness, never resorting to foul language, something the Shrek Academy members couldn't do.
"Old geezer, we're not leaving today. What are you going to do about it?"
Dai Mubai stepped forward, staring directly at Meng Shenji.
Flender and the others didn't react, just stared at Meng Shenji.
Meng Shenji wasn't stupid. He changed at the two young men and then at Flender and the others, slightly confused.
"Do their words represent the will of the Shrek Academy?"
Clearly, Meng Shenji was getting angry.
He had hoped to resolve this peacefully, but now he'd encountered two who were seeking death!
If these two could represent the will of Shrek Academy, then there was nothing more to discuss, they could just act.
If not, then dealing with these two young men would be justified.
Disrespecting the strong was their own fault!
Flender didn't hesitate and nodded. "Hongjun and Mubai are the most outstanding students of the Shrek Academy. They naturally represent Shrek's will."
"Good, good, good!"
Meng Shenji wasn't angry but laughed instead. The Shrek Academy truly was a den of snakes.
"In that case, I won't waste any more words."
"Let's see what you've got!"
Both sides almost simultaneously released their martial souls, and as their soul rings appeared, both sides were stunned.
Bai Baoshan and Zhi Lin remained unchanged, as their soul power levels had increased, but they were still Soul Douluos.
But Meng Shenji was different, he was now a Titled Douluo!
Moreover, his ninth soul ring was the terrifying 100,000-year soul ring!
God's inheritance usually comes with God given soul rings, except for those like Bibi Dong who were dissfavored…
Xiao Felian had already reached the Titled Douluo level, and her divine soul ring had no other use.
When Meng Shenji broke through to Titled Douluo, this divine soul ring became a gift from Xiaofeilian to Meng Shenji.
As Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai's soul rings appeared, the atmosphere on the field grew somewhat strange.
"Are you heirs of a deity?"
Meng Shenji swallowed hard and asked.
Never did he expect these two young men to also be Titled Douluos!
Not only that, their soul rings were so terrifyingly powerful!
Although not as strong as their disciples, they were still far beyond what ordinary people could achieve.
Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai crossed their arms, their faces filled with pride.
"I didn't expect you old man to have some knowledge!"
"I wondered why you were so arrogant. Turns out you have a 100,000-year soul ring. As if we don't have one."
Everyone: …
"I wonder which trials you've completed, young friends. There might be some misunderstanding here."
Two heirs of deities, this was not something to be provoked slightly.
