Besides the original Shrek teachers and students, there was now an additional female teacher on the training ground. This person looked to be close to thirty, with delicate features and a fiery figure. She should be the legendary Liu Erlong.
In contrast, Flander seemed to have a hint of joy in his eyes, while Yu Xiaogang's face was ashen, as if he was suppressing an impulse, completely unlike his usual serious expression.
Flander was the first to speak, introducing, "Little monsters, today I'm introducing you to a new teacher. This is Teacher Liu Erlong. From now on, she will be responsible for your combat training along with Teacher Zhao."
Liu Erlong looked sharp and capable, and she spoke very directly, "Boss Flander said you are a bunch of little monsters. I hope you don't disappoint me."
The other students looked indifferent, but Yang Xiong couldn't help but be inwardly startled. This Liu Erlong was known as the Corner of Slaughter. Don't be fooled by her calm appearance; she might be the most vicious and brutal among all the teachers.
Moreover, Yang Xiong found it strange. Looking at Liu Erlong, she was indeed a great beauty, so why was she so infatuated with Yu Xiaogang? No wonder Yu Xiaogang was so hated. A couple with such a huge disparity in strength was truly speechless, especially since Yu Xiaogang looked like he was being pursued.
Flander seemed to sense something. "Yang Xiong, you've advanced to Soul Elder?"
Yang Xiong nodded. "Teacher Flander, I took leave yesterday to hunt for a Soul Ring. I am now a level thirty-two Soul Elder."
Everyone was surprised to hear this. Originally, Yang Xiong had the lowest Soul Power among everyone, but from enrollment until now, he had the highest Soul Power increase among everyone. One must know that Zhu Zhuqing and Ma Hongjun had only increased by two levels so far, and the most, Tang San, had only increased by five levels. Yang Xiong had actually increased by a full six levels. This speed was simply a bit exaggerated.
One must know that it had been less than ten months since joining Shrek.
Next, Liu Erlong indeed showed everyone what the Corner of Slaughter was. She personally fought against the nine Shrek students. In just a few minutes, everyone was knocked to the ground. Her attacks were merciless and extremely brutal.
Unexpectedly, just two days after Liu Erlong arrived at Heaven Dou Royal Academy to teach, Flander actually arranged a week-long holiday, saying that everyone needed a balance of work and rest and should get a good rest. The next stage would have even more strenuous and dangerous training. However, Yang Xiong seemed to see Yu Xiaogang looking like he had nothing to live for, probably because the teachers had something going on.
Yang Xiong took Ning Rongrong, Oscar, and Qin Shuang directly back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Returning home, Yang Xiong couldn't help but feel emotional. This was the longest time he had been away from the Sect in this life. Only by returning to the Sect did he feel like he was home.
Oscar was still pursuing Qin Shuang recently. Looking at Qin Shuang, it seemed she had somewhat accepted Oscar, at least not as indifferent as she was at the beginning, especially since Ning Rongrong had said many good things about Oscar in front of Qin Shuang. Unfortunately, Qin Shuang also called him Uncle Big Sausage along with Ning Rongrong, which made Oscar feel awkward.
After returning to the Sect, his father Yang Lin and mother Sun Yu were very happy. Even his elder brother Yang Wei was at home. It seemed Purple Star Academy also had a long holiday.
The family ate together, chatted together, and drank together, enjoying themselves. Their cultivation talent might be average, but these were his true family.
His elder brother Yang Wei had been cultivating very diligently recently. His Soul Power had now reached level thirty-four, and he was already a substitute for the Purple Star Academy team.
Yang Xiong also rearranged his Immortal Herbs. His eyes flickered. Since the Ice Fire Body Tempering, those two Immortal Herbs had not been fully digested, so it was temporarily not suitable to consume Immortal Herbs. Moreover, due to not knowing much about the effects of many Immortal Herbs and not recognizing them, Yang Xiong had not planned to use them for his parents and family. At least he had to wait until his elder brother Yang Wei graduated.
Especially since in about six years, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would face a true catastrophe. At that time, there would be an attack by ten thousand Soul Masters from Spirit Hall plus four Titled Douluo. His peaceful life would be completely interrupted, and even his parents and elder brother would experience disaster. Yang Xiong only wanted them to survive this disaster; nothing else mattered.
Yang Xiong was also very clear that even after six years, he would probably only be a Soul Emperor, which would have no impact on such a large situation. What the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect truly lacked was high-end combat power.
No matter how much Yang Xiong thought, the basis of all this was that he must recognize more Immortal Herbs.
Looking at the entire Douluo Continent, the only people who truly recognized Immortal Herbs were Tang San, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Yang Wudi. These three all had their own inheritances and treated their knowledge of Immortal Herbs as top secret, which they would not easily reveal. The real breakthrough was only Yang Wudi.
However, it was still a bit too early. At least for now, Yang Xiong did not dare to approach Yang Wudi. He was an extremely fiery top Soul Douluo, and his family was in the Star Luo Empire thousands of miles away.
After returning to the academy again, Yang Xiong basically spent most of his time cultivating in the Gravity Control Simulated Environment, except for joint training.
Looking at the original work, the Shrek students' true opportunities were only two: one was the Immortal Herbs, and the second was the Seagod's Light trial on Sea God Island.
Compared to the Seagod's Light trial, the Gravity Control Simulated Environment was obviously much worse. Yang Xiong had even considered inviting a Soul Saint who could control gravity to create pressure to simulate the Seagod's Light, but the effect was not ideal either. After all, everyone had their own Soul Power fluctuations and different attributes, and even a Soul Saint could not create a Gravity Control scene for a long time. Instead, the Gravity Simulated Environment was a bit better.
There were quite a few people in the Gravity Simulated Environment, and there were also many independent rooms. Besides ordinary physical training under heavy pressure, Yang Xiong mainly meditated in this environment.
Although it was difficult at first, as his cultivation improved, his state of mind gradually became peaceful. Meditating in this Gravity Simulated Environment indeed had a certain effect.
But this kind of cultivation was very demanding on a person's aptitude and mindset. Under heavy pressure, many people found it difficult to even concentrate their minds. Only those with extremely firm willpower could continue.
However, in the gravity simulated environment, although they were not very accustomed to it at first, as time went on, it did have a certain effect on cultivation.
Especially from another perspective, the three Soul Rings Yang Xiong absorbed were all strength-type Soul Rings, which were also very suitable for cultivating in this gravity simulated environment.
Time flew by, and soon a year had passed. During this year, Yang Xiong cultivated with peace of mind. When he was completely accustomed to the gravity simulated environment, he even brought Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and Qin Shuang to cultivate with him. The three of them were also not accustomed to it at first, but as time went on, the effect became more and more obvious, and their cultivation speed also became faster and faster.
Among these three, the first to adapt was Qin Shuang. Her Martial Soul was the Vajra Bear, and she also followed a purely strength-based path. In terms of physical fitness, she was even stronger than Ning Rongrong and Oscar. One must know that Qin Shuang was a whole major realm lower than Ning Rongrong and Oscar.
Compared to the four of them cultivating peacefully, the others were relatively chaotic, or rather, had more miscellaneous matters.
Liu Erlong also continued to pester Yu Xiaogang, even suggesting that Yu Xiaogang and Flander take the Shrek group to Blue Tyrant Academy. She herself was even willing to change the name of Blue Tyrant Academy to Shrek Academy.
But now Flander was in a dilemma. Crown Prince Xue Qinghe and the Three Great Education Committees all attached great importance to the Shrek group. Various resources were provided free of charge, and Xue Qinghe even personally visited them multiple times. At this time, if they wanted to leave, they would likely face various targeting from the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, especially since the Three Great Education Committees were all experts at the Soul Douluo level, and it wasn't like Flander and the others could come and go as they pleased.
Especially being in the extremely favorable environment of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, if they were to return to the environment of ordinary students, it was likely that the students and teachers would not necessarily be willing.
Many teachers, led by Zhao Wuji, were now somewhat reluctant to leave. With three thousand Gold Soul Coins per month, Heaven Dou Royal Academy even provided them with cultivation resources, in addition to various preferential treatments from the empire. This was completely incomparable to when they were in Soto City, and everyone was living extremely comfortably.
In contrast, Blue Tyrant Academy was far too inferior in all aspects. Among the many Advanced Soul Master Academies, Blue Tyrant Academy was one of the rare ones that accepted commoner Soul Masters. Its finances were not very abundant, and even the various conditions were far inferior to Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Flander and the others hesitated repeatedly and finally decided to stay at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. If they were to stubbornly go to Blue Tyrant Academy, it was likely that the teachers and students of the academy would instantly disperse.
One must know that in the situation of Blue Tyrant Academy, within the entire academy, besides the dean Liu Erlong, there wasn't even a single Soul Saint. The main reason was that the value of Soul Saints was too high, and they simply couldn't afford them.
After Zhao Wuji came to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, he actually advanced by one level and was now at level seventy-seven. This guy had a simple heart, was honest and reckless, and never thought too much about things. Besides training students, he just worked hard on his own training, and his life was going extremely well.
However, there was also a little interesting anecdote in this. Since Qin Shuang enrolled, perhaps because their Martial Souls were the same, the relationship between the two was very good. Zhao Wuji liked to give Qin Shuang individual training when he had nothing to do, and Qin Shuang was also extremely competitive. Their relationship was actually much better than with others. It seemed that Zhao Wuji was even treating Qin Shuang as a half-disciple to cultivate.
In contrast, Yu Xiaogang and Xiao Wu helped Tang San ward off most of the temptations. Whether it was the recruitment of nobles or the temptation of various beautiful girls, they were both kicked away by the two of them.
However, Tang San's affairs were also relatively busy. Besides cultivating, he also had to deal with Xiao Wu, and in his spare time, he had to forge and assemble Hidden Weapons. His life was actually a bit tight.
Ma Hongjun was like being in paradise at Heaven Dou Royal Academy and quickly got a girlfriend, a very beautiful noblewoman. Even if Flander was his teacher, there was nothing he could do to stop this.
Dai Mubai had returned to his former playboy appearance. His relationship with Zhu Zhuqing was somewhat distant. The two seemed to be together, but there were also many more barriers. At least he didn't have the mindset like Tang San's that could resist all temptations. However, in terms of cultivation, he was still diligent, and his soul power had always been far ahead of everyone else, after all, he was three full years older than Yang Xiong and the others.
Zhu Zhuqing still trained diligently, even more so than before coming to Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Among everyone, her cultivation speed was not slow, but her talent was ultimately limited.
Compared to the innocence of these students, the teachers were completely different.
Flander was constantly in various states of entanglement and excitement. On one hand, he was entangled with Ma Hongjun's situation, and on the other hand, he was excited about the growth of all the students.
Liu Erlong continued to pursue Yu Xiaogang relentlessly, making Yu Xiaogang extremely awkward at times, and even losing some of his former authority. It was clear that Yu Xiaogang was suffering internally.
But then again, it was true. Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong were both former lovers and blood-related cousins. This complicated relationship was indeed a headache.
