Chapter 39 Yu Xiaogang's Freebie Plan
Flender and Yu Xiaogang both knew it was unlikely Dugu Bo had personally acted, but they wanted to know if the matter was related to him.
Qin Ming took a deep breath and slowly said,
"The one who acted is named Dragon Chen."
"Dragon Chen? Is he someone formidable?"
Qin Ming shook his head.
"Dragon Chen is still young, only fifteen this year, so of course you haven't heard of him."
"He's only fifteen?"
Flender and Yu Xiaogang exchanged glances, both finding it hard to believe.
Dai Mubai and Tang San were also stunned.
They never expected that the troublemaker who suddenly appeared in the Great Spirit Arena tonight was actually a fifteen-year-old Spirit Master.
Among the Shrek Seven Devils, Tang San's mental force was considered relatively strong, but he was powerless before Dragon Chen.
"Dragon Chen, I'll remember you!"
Recalling the humiliation he suffered from Dragon Chen, Tang San felt indignant.
He secretly vowed that one day, Dragon Chen would pay for his actions tonight.
Dai Mubai also felt a sense of defeat.
Dragon Chen was younger than him, but he knew that Dragon Chen was much stronger than him.
Yu Xiaogang sighed softly:
"I never thought that strange power came from a fifteen-year-old Spirit Master."
Flender asked,
"Qin Ming, what exactly is Dragon Chen's background?"
"He, like the seven members of the Royal Fight Team, is one of the main members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's school team."
"What? Heaven Dou Royal Academy? You mean the team you led is from Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"
"That's right. I'm employed at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and the members of the Royal Fight Team are the most powerful students at the Royal Academy. They will represent the Royal Academy in next year's Soul Master Competition and are the main members of the Heaven Dou Imperial Team."
Qin Ming's words shocked everyone.
Yu Xiaogang said,
"I didn't expect Dragon Chen to also be a member of the Royal Fight Team. If he had also competed tonight, Little San and the others would have had no chance of winning."
"That's true, but it's impossible. Because Dragon Chen has never participated in a Spirit battle competition and doesn't have a silver Spirit battle badge."
"How can that be? Isn't he with you?"
"He is indeed one of us, but he only entered the academy at eleven, and after that, he spent less time training with us. For the past year or so, he's been with Poison Douluo and only arrived in Soto City two days ago to meet up with us."
Tang San suddenly asked,
"Senior, what is Dragon Chen's Spirit? What level is his spirit power? Is he also from a noble family?"
"I'll tell you everything I know."
Qin Ming paused, then continued,
"Dragon Chen's Spirit is a variant of the guqin—the Dark Night Magic Lyre. He had innate full spirit power at level ten. His current spirit power exceeds level forty; I'm not entirely sure of the exact level, but it should be above level forty-three.
His Spirit Ability is very special; he can summon beast phantoms through the sound of the magic lyre. Whether it's for attack, control, or defense, his abilities are extremely outstanding.
He was adopted by Ye Lingling's parents and is not from any noble family.
Ye Lingling is that Nine Heart Begonia Soul Master. She and Dragon Chen grew up together, as close as siblings. Dragon Chen was afraid you would hurt her, which is why he attacked you."
After hearing Qin Ming's explanation, everyone finally had a general understanding of Dragon Chen.
Yu Xiaogang frowned, his expression serious.
"Dark Night Magic Qin Spirit... He also has innate full spirit power. No wonder he could reach the Spirit Grandmaster level at fifteen."
"Grandmaster, what do you mean?"
"To be honest, two of these children also have innate full spirit power: Little San and Oscar."
Qin Ming turned to look at Tang San and Oscar, his eyes filled with admiration.
"Dean, Grandmaster, with these exceptionally talented children, our Shrek Academy is bound to develop even better."
Flender shook his head.
"Shrek Academy is about to close. These children will be the last batch of students at Shrek Academy."
Hearing this, Qin Ming was startled.
"Dean, is it due to the academy's funding issues?"
Flender nodded, sighing:
"Although I don't want to admit it, that's the truth. We're also getting old and don't have that much energy anymore. After these children graduate, Shrek Academy will officially become a thing of the past."
Seeing Flender's unwilling expression, Qin Ming said,
"It's a pity. If these junior brothers and sisters weren't Shrek students, I could do my best to bring them into Heaven Dou Royal Academy. The Royal Academy has the best cultivation resources in the Heaven Dou Empire. The mimetic environments and various equipment are top-notch, and the teaching staff is also very strong. The junior brothers and sisters have excellent talent, and in such an environment, their strength will definitely improve faster."
Yu Xiaogang suddenly said,
"Qin Ming, even if they are Shrek students, you can still bring them into Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
Hearing this, Flender's expression changed.
"Xiaogang, what do you mean by that? If the children go to the Royal Academy, will they still have any connection with our Shrek?"
"Flender, let me finish."
Yu Xiaogang continued,
"Didn't Qin Ming just mention the Soul Master Competition? If I remember correctly, there should be two teams representing Heaven Dou Royal Academy: a main team and a sub-team. Qin Ming, have the members of the sub-team been determined yet?"
"Not yet. The Royal Academy doesn't have many outstanding students, so only the main team members have been determined, which is the Royal Fight Team I lead."
Yu Xiaogang smiled slightly:
"Then it's easy to handle. If feasible, we can represent the sub-team of Heaven Dou Royal Academy in next year's Soul Master Competition and win honor for the Royal Academy."
"Grandmaster, your suggestion is excellent. The Royal Academy has always lacked high-quality students, and the academy's high-level officials are also very concerned about this. With the talent and strength of the junior brothers and sisters, they are more than qualified to be sub-team members."
"However, I have one condition. Our Shrek teachers and students go together, and these students are not bound by the Royal Academy's rules. We will teach them ourselves."
"Grandmaster, I understand what you mean. These children are essentially auditing at the Royal Academy, representing the Royal Academy in the competition and winning honor for the academy, but they will ultimately graduate as Shrek students, right?"
Yu Xiaogang nodded.
"Yes, that's what I mean. Flender, what do you think of my proposal?"
Flender thought for a moment.
Although he was unwilling, he eventually nodded in agreement.
After all, Yu Xiaogang's plan was almost like getting things for free; they not only had no losses but also gained many benefits.
"Your idea is very good. It will be very helpful for the children's growth and future, and it can also be considered finding a place for the academy's teachers to retire. Let's go with your idea."
Qin Ming was very happy.
"With the addition of Shrek's teachers and junior brothers and sisters, the strength of Heaven Dou Royal Academy will definitely advance further. Our training at the Suotuo Great Spirit Arena has ended, and we can return to the academy tomorrow. I will tell your ideas to the academy's high-level officials, and you can wait for my good news."
After a few simple instructions, Qin Ming left.
Tang San asked curiously:
"Teacher, Dean, what did you mean by the Soul Master Competition you just talked about?"
"That is a major event that only advanced Spirit Master academies are qualified to participate in."
Subsequently, Yu Xiaogang explained the Soul Master Competition and its rules to the Shrek Seven Devils.
Everyone was looking forward to the Soul Master Competition a year later.

On the other side.
Dragon Chen came to Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan's room, ready to give the narcissus jade muscle bone to Dugu Yan for consumption.
