After a month of intense battles, the Shrek Seven Devils of Shrek Academy achieved Yu Xiaogang's goal, becoming owners of silver Douluo badges and forming a silver Douluo team.
Without the participation of the Imperial Fighting Team, they achieved this goal even more easily.
Inside a private room at the Soto Great Spirit Arena!
The Shrek Seven Devils were either standing or sitting, and most of them still looked very excited.
After all, dominating the Soto Great Spirit Arena without rivals was indeed an excellent achievement, and their talent was already outstanding.
Soon, several teachers from Shrek Academy, Flender, Yu Xiaogang, and Zhao Wuji, entered the room one after another.
Upon seeing them enter, the Shrek Seven Devils, whether standing or sitting, all walked over and gathered together.
"Dean!"
"Grandmaster (Teacher)!"
"Teacher Zhao!"
After greeting them, Flender was the first to speak with a hearty laugh:
"First, I want to congratulate you all for achieving a part of the academy's graduation requirements in such a short time, becoming owners of silver Douluo badges and forming a silver Douluo team."
"Little freaks, I am proud of you, and Shrek is proud of you!"
As his voice fell, the Shrek Seven Devils also smiled.
Then, Flender's expression was still a little unnatural, and he stepped aside, saying to everyone:
"As for the next arrangements, let Grandmaster explain!"
Yu Xiaogang's expression was stern, without a trace of a smile. He took a step forward, clasped his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice:
"You all did very well, putting a perfect end to the first stage of physical training and the second stage of spirit fighting training. However, this is not enough; you still have the third stage of spirit power training."
"However, your third stage of spirit power training will not be at the current Shrek, but in Heaven Dou City. There is an Advanced Spirit Master Academy there whose dean is acquainted with Dean Flender, and they can accept students from Shrek Academy."
"Your third stage of spirit power training will be at this Advanced Spirit Master Academy, utilizing its cultivation resources and environment to quickly increase your spirit power, with the ultimate goal being..."
"...to prepare for the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Competition, which is just over a year away. This is a continent-wide competition that only Advanced Spirit Master Academies can participate in. Outstanding students under twenty-five years old, cultivated by various academies, will compete in individual and team battles to test their strength."
"The benefits are countless, and I won't elaborate on them one by one here. My requirement for you is to win first place in the sub-division of the next All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Competition, and then win first place in the overall division of the competition after that. Although you won't be representing Shrek Academy, you can use the name Shrek Seven Devils to become the true number one in the World!"
Flender's downcast expression improved slightly. Shrek Academy might become a thing of the past, but the Shrek Seven Devils would truly shine brightly.
And for the Shrek Seven Devils present, the title "Number One in the World" was indeed very shocking, and given their age, they could participate in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Competition at least twice.
However, when Heaven Dou City was mentioned, they couldn't help but think of one person, Wang Li!
They had met him once in a small town a hundred li outside the Star Dou Great Forest when they went there to hunt spirit rings.
But that encounter was enough to shock them. He entered the primary Spirit Master Academy at the same time as Tang San and Xiao Wu, but unlike Tang San and Xiao Wu, Wang Li skipped grades repeatedly.
When they met again, Tang San and Xiao Wu only had twenty-ninth-level spirit power, while Wang Li was a quasi-Spirit Ancestor with fortieth-level spirit power.
As for now, in their opinion, Wang Li was probably already a true Spirit Ancestor expert.
Thinking of this, the Shrek Seven Devils' expressions varied. Tang San's face was very unpleasant because his Blue Silver Grass was inferior to Wang Li's Blue Silver Grass. Xiao Wu's face was also unpleasant, but what she worried about was encountering Titled Douluo-level experts easily once they went to Heaven Dou City.
The other five members of the Shrek Seven Devils also had complex feelings. Among their peers, only Wang Li made them feel they couldn't even compare themselves to him.
Then Ma Hongjun said quietly:
"The Advanced Spirit Master Academy in Heaven Dou City, it wouldn't be Heaven Dou Royal Academy, would it?"
Yu Xiaogang saw that his speech had not only failed to inspire the Seven Devils' fighting spirit but had instead made everyone dispirited, and his expression was somewhat ugly. Upon hearing Ma Hongjun's words, he immediately said:
"Don't just assume Heaven Dou Royal Academy when Heaven Dou City is mentioned. The dean of Heaven Dou Royal Academy is the current Emperor Xue Ye, and he is not someone easily approached."
"Moreover, Heaven Dou Royal Academy has many noble scions. Although its facilities are complete, its academic atmosphere is not proper. I don't want you to pick up those habits, so we are not going to Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
"The place we are going is called Blue Tyrant Academy. As an Advanced Spirit Master Academy that can establish itself in Heaven Dou City, its foundation should not be underestimated, and it can also bring you great improvement."
At this point, Yu Xiaogang also felt very strange. Blue Tyrant Academy—if he hadn't known that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's direct academy was Thunderclap Academy, one of the Five Element Academies...
He would have thought that this Blue Tyrant Academy had some special connection with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, from which he originated.
Then Yu Xiaogang continued:
"I know what you are all thinking, but I can tell you that you are not inferior to anyone. Through my first stage of physical training and second stage of spirit fighting training, you have gained indomitable will and tacit unity. All you lack is an opportunity to truly soar into the sky."
"Additionally, you will have a three-month holiday to adjust your condition. After three months, we will depart for Heaven Dou. Rest well and balance work and rest."
Hearing this, the Shrek Seven Devils, except for Tang San and Xiao Wu, were completely invigorated.
After all, compared to Tang San and Xiao Wu, they weren't as familiar with Wang Li, and while they felt pressure, they didn't truly take it to heart.
Only Tang San and Xiao Wu had the most complex feelings. If they were to encounter Wang Li again, they didn't know how they would face him.
As the holiday gradually began, among the Shrek Seven Devils, some went shopping, some acted as devoted admirers, some indulged in brothels, some were engrossed in blacksmithing...
The one engrossed in blacksmithing was undoubtedly Tang San. He always firmly believed that Tang Sect Hidden Weapons were unrivaled in the World.
What was so great about a Spirit Ancestor? As long as he forged the Tang Sect's top-tier Hidden Weapons, he could change this World and stand at the pinnacle of the World.
A mere small Wang Li would never be my opponent!
Thinking of this, Tang San's expression became almost frantic, and the hammer in his hand swung with even more force.
