Xiao Wu returned to the Star Dou Great Forest overnight. Tang Hao also disappeared, though it was unclear whether he went to escort Xiao Wu or continued to hide near Shrek to guard it.
When Tang San returned to the dormitory, five people were already looking at him curiously.
"Third Brother, where is Xiao Wu?" the five asked curiously.
As teammates who had undergone Grandmaster's devilish training together with Tang San and Xiao Wu for the past few months, they didn't have much aversion to Xiao Wu's identity.
Regardless of whether Xiao Wu was a spirit beast or not, at least both sides were friends.
As for a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring, they completely couldn't consider that right now.
"Xiao Wu has already left and returned to the Star Dou Great Forest." Tang San said, his expression full of loss.
Everything changed too fast. He didn't have any time to react. Xiao Wu actually turned out to be a transformed hundred-thousand-year spirit beast.
Then, there was the conflict with the Poison Douluo.
And finding out that his father was the Clear Sky Douluo, and his second spirit was the continent's number one tool spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer.
However, his father, the Clear Sky Douluo, was seriously injured, and fighting other Titled Douluo could trigger his injuries and lead to sudden death at any time.
Various changes threw Tang San's heart into turmoil.
After finishing the last three days of spirit battles in Soto City, Qin Ming finally received a reply from the three Education Commissioners. His application to hunt spirit rings for Ning Rongrong and Su Wen was approved.
However, since Su Wen's reason was very sufficient back then, Qin Ming had no other choice and only planned to take Ning Rongrong to find a spirit ring this time.
"Teacher Qin Ming."
When Qin Ming announced the end of the training and was about to lead everyone to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt spirit beasts, Ning Rongrong raised her hand to signal.
"Rongrong, do you have something to say?"
"Um, Teacher Qin Ming, we can just return directly to Tian Dou City. My father said that Grandpa Sword would take me to hunt my spirit ring."
Qin Ming: ???
At this moment, Qin Ming had question marks all over his face.
"Doesn't the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda spirit only require age for spirit rings? I think I should be able to help you hunt one too, right?" Qin Ming asked in confusion.
Ning Rongrong stuck out her tongue and said helplessly, "My spirit ring is quite special. My father told me to strictly follow his plan."
Qin Ming couldn't pursue details about someone else's spirit.
This probably involved the core secrets of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.
"Since that's the case, then we'll return directly to Tian Dou City." Holding the reply from the three Education Commissioners, Qin Ming helplessly announced the direct return trip.
Shrek Academy.
"Xiaogang, do you have something to discuss?"
In the middle of the night, Flender was called out by Yu Xiaogang for a private talk.
"Flender, I've thought about the issue Qin Ming raised a few days ago for a long time. I feel we still shouldn't waste the children's talents." Grandmaster said.
Hearing that it seemed to be about this matter, Flender, who was originally sleepy, shook all over, his somewhat muddled brain sobering up instantly.
"What's wrong, Xiaogang? Do you also want Shrek to join Tian Dou Royal Academy?" Flender looked indignant.
"Shrek is my life's work. Cultivating only monsters is Shrek's tenet. I will never agree!"
"But, are you just going to watch Mubai, Little San, and the others' talents go to waste?" Grandmaster was angry at his lack of ambition, then persuaded earnestly, "Flender, doesn't the academy you founded want to attract more monsters to join? The Spirit Master Tournament is a very good stage, and also our choice not to waste the little monsters' talents."
Are there geniuses on the continent?
Quite a few.
But why would they come to Shrek?
Even if interested, if they knew they couldn't participate in the Spirit Master Tournament, how many would still come to Shrek Academy?
No mimicry environment, no quota for the Spirit Master Tournament, nothing at all. Why join Shrek?
Which genius Spirit Master doesn't dream of showing their edge on the stage of the Spirit Master Tournament?
Not having the qualification to participate in the Spirit Master Tournament didn't just mean the students' own dreams couldn't be realized; more importantly, they lost the best opportunity to showcase themselves.
What is the Spirit Master Tournament for?
Strictly speaking, like the Great Spirit Arena, many outstanding Spirit Masters show their talents here and are then recruited by major sects and forces.
"But, the atmosphere at Tian Dou Royal Academy..." Flender pretended to hesitate.
"Qin Ming's invitation was just a reminder. It doesn't mean Shrek has to join Tian Dou Royal Academy. We have other choices. There are quite a few academies with quotas for the Spirit Master Tournament." Grandmaster said.
He pondered for a long time before hesitantly saying, "Actually, I know of an academy that only recruits commoners, has a very good reputation, and also possesses the qualification to participate in the Spirit Master Tournament."
Flender cooperated very well and took the bait, very curious about the academy Grandmaster mentioned.
"Blue Tyrant Academy."
"Blue Tyrant Academy?" Flender looked suspicious, looking at Grandmaster and asking, "With this name, could this academy be a Spirit Master academy opened by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"
Grandmaster didn't shy away from this, nodding and admitting it.
Flender's expression changed, contemplating for a while, struggling for a while, and soon became firm again. Gritting his teeth, he looked at Grandmaster and said, "Xiaogang, what you said is right. We can't waste the little monsters' talents."
"Moreover, you haven't been in contact with your clan for a long time. This time, it's rare for you to be involved with your clan. As a brother, I, Flender, will accompany you to merge Shrek into Blue Tyrant Academy."
"At that time, we will develop and strengthen Blue Tyrant Academy, and your theoretical ability will be displayed to the greatest extent, Xiaogang. I believe those people in your clan who gossip will shut up and look at you with new eyes."
Grandmaster nodded. He indeed had this thought in his heart.
"However, I still have to ask for the opinions of my old buddies."
Grandmaster nodded and said, "That is certain. Teacher Shao Xin and the others have also dedicated a lot to the academy."
That night, Flender gathered the numerous teachers and informed them of the idea of merging Shrek into Blue Tyrant Academy.
"How about it? If you have no objections, we will set off for Tian Dou City starting today."
"Blue Tyrant Academy is an academy of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. It's Xiaogang's home field. Everyone's treatment there will definitely not be bad. Moreover, I was thinking that you are getting old. Having followed me for so many years without Shrek achieving anything, why not join Blue Tyrant Academy together? It can be considered a place for retirement." Flender said sincerely.
"I have no objections anyway." Zhao Wuji crossed his arms, indifferent.
Back then, he was hunted by the Spirit Hall and followed Flender to Shrek to be the vice dean.
As for Shao Xin and the others, they were also tricked and cajoled by Flender to stay.
Over time, they developed a friendship and didn't leave.
Now that Flender made the decision to merge Shrek into Blue Tyrant Academy, they didn't object.
Indeed, getting older, it was time to consider the issue of retirement.
