The environment of Heaven Dou Academy was excellent, the scenery beautiful!
Especially at this time, as the sun was setting and the sky was ablaze with evening glow, the lakes at the foot of the mountains and the towering, thousand-meter-high mountains covered with various plants gave it the feel of a paradise.
It was less than twenty kilometers from Heaven Dou City, the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, and the environment was so beautiful that the teachers, including Zhao Wuji, were very satisfied with the thought of this becoming their future home.
Tang San and the other students naturally felt the same way. After all, compared to the impoverished Shrek Academy, this place was practically a paradise.
Seeing the teachers and students all so satisfied with the place, Flander, feeling offended, retorted, "So what if the environment is good? So what if the training conditions are good? I haven't seen any of their students as strong as our monsters!"
"Indeed," Tang San chimed in, "Most students at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy are from noble families, and this place isn't far from the main city. An overly comfortable environment can easily lead to complacency and a loss of ambition."
"See? Even our best student agrees with me," Flander boasted to Yu Xiaogang and the others, seeing that someone was finally agreeing with him.
The teachers watching Flander's antics exchanged wry smiles. They knew perfectly well why Flander was acting this way. A penny can break a hero!
However, the Shrek group had only taken a few steps up the mountain when trouble struck.
"Halt! Who are you?"
A dozen or so Soul Masters, around eighteen or nineteen years old, blocked their path.
Their pale yellow school uniforms clearly identified them as students of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
"We are from Shrek Academy, invited to exchange ideas with your esteemed institution. Young man, lead the way," Flander said confidently.
The leader was Xue Beng, the very same Xue Beng who had been taught a lesson by Yun Chuan. He maintained his arrogant princely demeanor. He glanced at them with feigned disdain, and seeing their travel-worn appearance, scoffed, "Come on, you bunch of country bumpkins, you dare call yourselves 'exchanging ideas with our academy'? Since when do beggars have to come to our academy?"
With that, the dozen or so youths burst into laughter, completely disregarding the Shrek group.
Having traveled for nearly ten days, the Shrek Academy members were indeed somewhat travel-worn, but not as wretched as he claimed. Xue Beng was simply judging by appearances; seeing their simple attire, coupled with Flander's somewhat arrogant words, displeased him, hence his outburst.
As a purely aristocratic academy, very few students at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy possess genuine talent; the vast majority gain entry through connections and noble titles. This has always been the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's biggest problem. Otherwise, how could they possess the title of the Heaven Dou Empire's number one academy without the actual strength?
Not to mention the arrogant teachers at Shrek Academy, even the Shrek Seven Devils were enraged by the other party's impolite words.
Dai Mubai, the most hot-tempered of them all, flashed forward, kicking Xue Beng, who had spoken, flying. Then, he activated his Martial Soul and launched an attack on the group!
Caught off guard, the noble students of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy panicked. They never expected the other party to dare attack right at their academy's gate. Except for a few with a bit of sense who quickly activated their Martial Souls, most retreated hastily, fearing being caught in the crossfire.
Even those students who had awakened their martial souls, upon seeing the three gleaming spirit rings on Dai Mubai's body, dared not advance and quickly retreated.
In their minds, there was no concept of the weak defeating the strong; spirit rings represented an absolute difference, and among their group, not a single person had even reached level thirty.
Dai Mubai, adhering to the principle of striking first and speaking later, didn't even give the other Shrek Seven Devils a chance to attack. His tiger palm, moving with his body, sent those who were slower to retreat flying.
Seeing Dai Mubai's attack, Flander and the others frowned. They weren't dissatisfied because Dai Mubai had beaten them, but because the students of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy were simply too poor in quality.
"These are the students of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy? They're utter trash. I'm starting to doubt whether coming here was a mistake," Flander said, frowning.
Zhao Wuji smiled wryly, "Don't ask me, how would I know? The Royal Fighting Team that fought those little monsters to a standstill last time wasn't like this. Maybe there are bad apples everywhere."
Even the Grandmaster who had insisted on coming here was speechless.
"Alright, Mu Bai." Flander called out to Dai Mu Bai, who was caught up in the fight. If they continued, it wouldn't just be a beating; it might result in serious injury.
Dai Mu Bai then stopped, his evil eyes flashing with wicked light. "Let's see who's really in charge."
"You, you dare to cause trouble at our Heavenly Dou Royal Academy! This is a provocation against the Empire! You wait, you wait..." The disheveled Xue Beng was furious.
Flander snorted coldly, "The label is well-placed, but it's just trash. Call your academy's teachers out."
Just then, a powerful voice suddenly rang out, "What's going on? Why is there such a commotion?"
A figure quickly appeared from the tree-lined path on the hillside. He looked to be about the same age as Flander, with a round face, thick eyebrows, and large eyes. His hands were behind his back, giving him the air of a
master. "Great, it's Teacher Sun!" The young man who had been leading the group rushed forward as if he had seen a lifeline.
"Teacher Sun, they dared to come here and cause trouble, and they even beat us up. You must stand up for us!"
Teacher Sun frowned deeply as he looked at the students who were like stray dogs. "Avalanche, what kind of behavior is this?"
In front of outsiders, he didn't reprimand his students much, instead turning his gaze towards the Shrek Academy group.
Teachers and students are different, after all. When this Teacher Sun's eyes met Flander's, a thought struck him, and he quickly stepped forward, bowing slightly, saying, "Greetings, everyone. I am Sun Buyu. May I ask what brings you to my Heavenly Dou Academy?" He made no mention of his students being beaten; his very presence exuded a composed air.
Since they were being polite, Flander naturally wouldn't dwell on the previous incident, calmly saying, "We're here to see Qin Ming. These students from your academy just called us beggars and told us to get lost, which led to this conflict." "
You're looking for Teacher Qin?" Sun Buyu's heart skipped a beat. "Are you all from Shrek Academy in the Barak Kingdom?"
Flander nodded, saying, "Indeed."
Sun Buyu's expression immediately became respectful. "I have immense respect for teaching a genius like Teacher Qin. On behalf of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, I apologize for what happened earlier. Please, come in."
He gestured for them to proceed, while simultaneously glaring at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy students, as if to say, "I'll deal with you later."
