For Ling Yun or the deceased Tang San, making a few simple Hidden Weapons was indeed easy.
But for Tai Tan, the patriarch of the Strength Clan, they were incredibly ingenious, and quickly piqued his interest.
Because these Hidden Weapons had never appeared on the Douluo Continent, and as a blacksmith, he also hoped to forge such a timeless masterpiece.
However, he also had a condition: his grandson, Tai Long, had to be admitted to the Inner Courtyard for study. Ling Yun agreed without hesitation.
The two parties also agreed to produce samples of these Hidden Weapons in about a week, test their power first, and then proceed with mass production.
Five days had already passed, and Ling Yun was vaguely looking forward to how powerful those Hidden Weapons would be once they were made…
This was his first official step into the merged Shrek Academy.
Ling Yun clearly felt that the new Shrek Academy, compared to the former Blue Tyrant Academy, had a bit more vitality.
This was not Ling Yun's imagination; the students of the former Blue Tyrant Academy gave Ling Yun a distinct feeling of laziness and idleness, just waiting to die.
Ling Yun walked across the school's training ground, where six middle-grade students were discussing something ahead of him.
Ling Yun discreetly followed behind these students, listening to their discussion.
One of them had a smug look on his face, while the other five looked at him with envy.
"Zhao Heng, it's already been four or five days since you were admitted to the Inner Courtyard.
I heard that the Academy provides extra subsidies to students who enter the Inner Courtyard, and they also get to enjoy many privileges. I'm so envious."
When the student named Zhao Heng heard this, his nose tilted even higher.
"That's right, to be able to enter the Inner Courtyard means your aptitude must be good. The Academy believes I have potential for cultivation.
I'll tell you, this morning, our Vice-Dean Yu even gathered all of us Inner Courtyard students for our first lesson."
A look of adoration appeared on his face, and he clasped his hands together, raising them at a 45-degree angle, speaking with exaggerated emotion.
"You didn't see it, but when Vice-Dean Yu taught us, he always explained things in a simple yet profound way.
Many problems that I couldn't understand before, he would casually explain, and I would suddenly see the light.
It felt like someone was stuffing that knowledge into my brain; I couldn't forget it even if I wanted to, it was truly miraculous. I'm certain that Vice-Dean Yu definitely has the strength of a Spirit Douluo, or even a higher level."
After listening from the side, Ling Yun's lips curved slightly. Wasn't this kid stating the obvious?
To leave a deep impression on these Inner Courtyard students,
this morning, he used his mental force to connect with Puppet Yu Xiaogang's body and personally gathered those Inner Courtyard students for their first lesson.
With the title of "Heavenly Saint" as a boost, Ling Yun's teaching efficiency naturally increased exponentially.
These students, who were selected into the Inner Courtyard, already had excellent aptitudes and were the type who would listen attentively.
Therefore, under these conditions, the first lesson Ling Yun gave to these Inner Courtyard students was so effective that it was probably better than a full week of their regular classes.
Hearing Zhao Heng's evaluation of Ling Yun's first lesson for the Inner Courtyard students, the other five students showed looks of envy, jealousy, and even hatred.
"Zhao Heng, no, Boss Zhao, if you ever make it big, you must look out for us brothers. If we get bullied in the Outer Courtyard later, you must come out and help us."
"That's right, Zhao Heng, from now on, you're the boss of us brothers. You have to support us brothers…"
...
The five Outer Courtyard students called the Inner Courtyard student Zhao Heng "Boss" repeatedly, which made Zhao Heng a bit conceited.
"No problem, of course no problem. We've been classmates for so many years. If I make it big, I definitely won't forget you guys."
Zhao Heng nodded decisively. Suddenly, he thought of something and said to the five Outer Courtyard students with an expectant look.
"Oh, by the way, I'll tell you an inside scoop: in five days, our Academy will hold a Spirit Arena Brawl that includes low-grade to high-grade students."
"Spirit Arena Brawl? What is that?"
The five Outer Courtyard students' interest was immediately piqued, as they had never heard of this Spirit Arena Brawl.
"This inter-school Spirit Arena Brawl was decided by our three Deans together.
I heard that to motivate our students, regardless of whether they are low-grade, middle-grade, or high-grade, anyone who ranks in the top three of their grade can receive gold coin rewards, with the highest being one thousand gold coin!"
"One thousand? No way? That much!" The five Outer Courtyard students all cried out in surprise.
One thousand gold coin was an astronomical figure for these students, as their families were not wealthy to begin with.
Now, suddenly having the opportunity to earn one thousand gold coin felt like a dream to them.
Ling Yun was naturally well aware of this Spirit Arena Brawl competition; it was originally proposed by him to Liu Erlong and Flanders.
Of course, the purpose was to thoroughly stimulate the students' enthusiasm for learning and to allow Ling Yun to fully understand the current strength of the newly merged Shrek Academy students.
Ling Yun now wanted to transform the entire new Shrek Academy into a base that could be used by him to produce a large number of talents.
Of course, doing all this required a lot of money, but Ling Yun was not afraid of being short on funds. In two days, the latest Hidden Weapons prototypes would be released.
At that time, when Ling Yun threw those latest Hidden Weapons prototypes into the Heaven Dou Imperial City auction, some rich individuals would probably be unable to resist bidding.
It might even attract a large number of orders from these rich individuals. As long as these Hidden Weapons could be mass-produced, would Ling Yun still be afraid of not having money?
A strange smile appeared on Ling Yun's face, and he even let out a snort of laughter.
Just then, the six people who were discussing ahead all turned their heads, six pairs of eyes looking strangely at Ling Yun.
They found it a bit odd. When did a six-year-old kid appear behind them, and they hadn't even noticed.
Ling Yun felt the six people's strange gazes. He smiled gently, ignoring their odd looks, and headed towards the direction of the Inner Courtyard.
"That kid is also from the Inner Courtyard? Why have I never seen him before?
At least this morning, when Vice-Dean Yu was lecturing, I didn't see him.
For such a young, low-grade student, I only saw two in the Vice Dean's class: one was the beautiful little girl personally taught by the Vice Dean, and the other was that kid with the Evil Fire Phoenix Spirit."
Zhao Heng couldn't help but frown, muttering to himself with a suspicious look.
"You haven't seen him? Then he definitely isn't from the Inner Courtyard. I bet he'll be kicked out by the four guards responsible for guarding the Inner Courtyard later."
"That's right, some people just don't know their place, thinking it's so easy to get into the Inner Courtyard.
If it were that easy to sneak into the Inner Courtyard, I would have already gone strolling in the Inner Courtyard with Boss Zhao."
"Why don't we go together and see? See that little kid's pathetic look when he gets thrown out?"
The six people, one after another, had their interest piqued and scurried after Ling Yun…
