"Boss Fu, it's been years! I really missed you," Liu Erlong said with a smile on her face.
"I'm old now, but you're still as stunning as ever! We came because we saw your job posting. Didn't expect it was your academy," Flender laughed.
"This is Liu Erlong, who used to roam the Spirit Master world with me and Xiaogang! Erlong, aren't you going to invite us in?"
Liu Erlong gave a bitter smile. "So many people... we can barely accommodate you. I can't believe you've all fallen to this point."
Flender recounted everything they had been through.
"Those bastards at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy are disgusting. Boss Fu, my academy is yours! I call the shots here—everyone, stay!"
"That's wonderful! What about the treatment terms?" Flender asked, clearly in high spirits.
"Haha, the Golden Iron Triangle—you're the boss. Now it's about whether you can afford our terms! This academy is yours now! Have someone change the name to Shrek Academy too. Let me ride Shrek's fame a bit," Liu Erlong said seriously.
"Uh..." Flender was stunned. He hadn't expected her to make such a decision.
"Instructor Yin Shu, announce that we'll hold an all-staff-and-student assembly tomorrow!" Liu Erlong ordered.
"Yes!" The three instructors immediately left.
"Xiaogang... do you plan to just stand there forever?" Liu Erlong turned excitedly toward Yu Xiaogang.
"I..." Yu Xiaogang didn't know what to say.
Flender sighed helplessly. "Time really flies—twenty years in the blink of an eye."
"Yeah! Since you're all new here, let me introduce the academy. All resources belong to me. The facilities aren't as good as Heaven Dou Imperial Academy's, and although it's been founded for ten years, we only recruit civilian spirit masters. The results... are average. Honestly, I've been an unworthy headmaster."
Liu Erlong shook her head at that, then continued introducing the academy's situation.
"Ding, triggered story modification mission."
[Yu Xiaogang thought: I'm just a crazy old fool, unworthy of being with you. I can only keep company with trees.]
Zhang Fan smirked mischievously and instantly changed "keep company" to "kiss."
"Ding, dialogue modification successful. Story is now extra crazy. Reward: 60 modification points."
Yu Xiaogang inwardly cried: I'm just a crazy old fool, unworthy of being with you, so I can only kiss trees.
"Tsk..."
Next moment, Yu Xiaogang, frozen in place, suddenly sprinted to a nearby tree—and started passionately kissing it.
The entire scene left everyone dumbfounded.
"Uh..." Liu Erlong's eyes were about to pop out of her head, her mouth gaping wide. The man she thought about day and night was now wildly making out with a tree.
The scene was as bizarre as it was insane.
"Tsk tsk..." Yu Xiaogang kept desperately kissing the tree.
"Holy crap... Teacher!" Tang San stared wide-eyed. He couldn't believe his master was going crazy—especially right in front of the woman he loved.
Total. Social. Death.
Tang San looked on in panic.
"Xiaogang... what's wrong?! Don't scare me!" Liu Erlong shouted, face full of terror. Tears welled up as she watched the man she loved spiraling into madness.
Her tears streamed uncontrollably.
"Don't come near me!"
Yu Xiaogang screamed as he saw her approach, not wanting her to see him like this.His heart ached, his mind scrambled—and that pitiful, whiny tone he used...
As soon as it slipped out, he knew he was screwed.
Liu Erlong froze, completely shell-shocked. "How did Xiaogang's voice become like that? What... what happened to him?"
"Boohoo..." Liu Erlong cried even harder, heartbroken.
"Well... he had a rough time in the Spirit Beast Forest..." Flender explained Yu Xiaogang's tragic experiences to Liu Erlong.
He was helpless about it.But deep down?
He was absolutely thrilled.
After all, seeing Liu Erlong's affection for Yu Xiaogang fade—maybe even turn to disgust—was a total win in his book.
"Boohoo... How could you be so unlucky!" Liu Erlong sobbed even harder upon hearing Flender's explanation.
Dai Mubai stood there, stunned. Seriously? Out of all the times to have a breakdown, why now?!
"Uh..." Ma Hongjun was completely speechless.
"Heehee..." Xiao Wu had never seen anyone tongue-wrestling a tree before. The scene was just too weird, so she instinctively moved closer to Zhang Fan.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing looked on without surprise.They sure weren't going over there though—no way they were catching Crazy Old Man Syndrome.
"That guy's seriously nuts," Ning Rongrong muttered, shaking her head.
"Ah..."
Finally, after a while, Yu Xiaogang stopped.
He looked like a man who had barely survived death.
"Xiaogang, are you alright?" Liu Erlong grabbed his hand.
"Just let me go! Look at me now... we'll never be together again!" Yu Xiaogang shrieked with a shrill voice before running away like a panicked chicken.
"Xiaogang!"
Flender hadn't expected him to lose it so badly. He watched Yu Xiaogang bolt into the distance.
When he saw Liu Erlong about to chase after him, Flender quickly blocked her.
"He doesn't want to see you now. You saw his state—better not go after him!"
"Alright," Liu Erlong nodded sadly. "You all head to the dorms first. I'm tired today. See you tomorrow."
"Got it!" Flender nodded and headed to their lodging.
The environment here was fantastic—way better than the original Shrek Academy.
Meanwhile, Tang San went to check on his godmother.
The next day.
Flender introduced Zhang Fan and the others to Liu Erlong.
"This one is the most talented student in Shrek—Zhang Fan, a 48th-level Battle Spirit Sect," Flender said, pointing at the handsome boy in a white outfit.
"Oh, so you're Zhang Fan? So handsome... and such a little monster!" Liu Erlong exclaimed, stunned.
Twelve years old, forty-eight levels—it was monstrous beyond monstrous.
She was genuinely shocked; this was her first time seeing such a freakishly talented genius.
Especially one from a civilian background—most civilians had average talent.
Yet Zhang Fan crushed all the so-called "noble prodigies."
"Dai Mubai..."
Flender continued introducing each student one by one.
"Wow! I can't believe Shrek students are all such monsters!" Liu Erlong gasped, marveling at how every single one of them was ridiculously outstanding.
"Boss Fu, you really are amazing!"
"This one's Tang San, Xiaogang's direct disciple! He's extremely talented—our team's second strongest!" Flender said, patting Tang San's shoulder.
"Of course, I just got lucky meeting these little monsters."
"Haha..." Liu Erlong nodded. "By the way, what's Zhang Fan's martial soul?"
"A sword spirit—Heavenly Despair Sword! Extremely powerful," Flender explained proudly.
