Chapter 243 The Two Children Visit Shrek Academy.
After visiting the Heaven Dou City Advanced Soul Master Academy, the two decided to continue visiting other academies, and their second stop was Shrek Academy.
Shrek Academy is completely different now than it used to be. Previously, Shrek Academy belonged to Liu Erlong, and could even be considered part of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Now it has been entirely nationalized and is directly managed by the Ministry of Education. The dean is still Flander, the vice-dean is Zhao Wuji, and Liu Erlong, who has left to work at the Ministry of Education, serves as the honorary dean, giving her a small backing.
Flander and Zhao Wuji, in particular, being directly managed by the Ministry of Education, can be considered mid-level personnel in the Douluo Federation.
However, after so many years of hard training, neither Flander nor Liu Erlong and Zhao Wuji have been able to break through to the level of Advanced Soul Douluo, unable to reach the Title Douluo level.
Now, all three are determined to break through to the Title Douluo level, so they are currently focusing on training the academy's students, contributing to the Ministry of Education.
However, Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong eventually got married and had a child named Yu Xiaolong, a name taken from a single character in both their names. This was a way of commemorating their love and also reflecting Yu Xiaogang's final hope. When Wang Lanfang and Wang Mingxu arrived at Shrek Academy, they were warmly received by Dean Flander.
After all, what weight does the Elemental Academy hold in the Ministry of Education and even the entire Douluo Federation? Anyone with a discerning eye knows. After all, roughly half of the Douluo Federation's high-ranking officials come from the Elemental Academy, especially since some of their direct superiors are also from there.
Dean Flander brewed tea for the two before speaking, "May I ask what brings you two young friends from the Elemental Academy to Shrek Academy?"
Wang Lanfang straightened her expression, "We're here for no great reason. The academy has arranged for us to train on the continent, and we just happened to arrive in Heaven Dou City, so we came to pay our respects."
Flander's mind was filled with countless questions. Judging from their ages, they were probably around 20, but he couldn't detect their specific soul power levels. They were either extremely strong or extremely weak, or perhaps they had some way of concealing their soul power. Moreover, although the Elemental Academy was powerful, it didn't have much interaction with Shrek Academy; in fact, they had a minor grudge. Recently, Shrek Academy had suffered several defeats at the hands of the Elemental Academy.
Flander patiently continued, "What brings you two here?"
Before Wang Lanfang could speak, Wang Mingxu interjected, "I've heard that the Elemental Academy has an exceptionally high level of teaching, so I've come to visit and learn. Is it convenient for Dean Flander?"
"Shrek Academy naturally welcomes you two young friends. What would you like to see?"
"Then let's inquire about the Elemental Academy's teaching, including Soul Master training."
Flander thought to himself, "Could it be that Minister Huo Tianchen arranged this incognito visit? Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent two youngsters for exchange or learning.
"Meanwhile, Wang Lanfang, feeling bored, picked up her teacup, took a sip, and then spat it out, "Dean Flander, you're supposed to be a dean, but this tea is terrible!"
Flander was speechless, and even more certain that the two were indeed there incognito; otherwise, even if they were teachers from the academy, they wouldn't be so direct.
Led by Dean Flander, the two toured the entire Shrek Academy. It must be said that Shrek Academy's teaching was quite rigorous, especially its faculty, which was quite good. Besides Dean Flander, there was even a Soul Douluo and several Soul Saint-level teachers.
However, the school's atmosphere seemed rather poor, at least much worse than the original academy. In just a few hours, several fights broke out among the students, and judging from the surrounding people, fighting was clearly not prohibited on campus. In fact, it was commonplace.
Wang Mingxu couldn't help but wonder if this was some kind of unconventional teaching method, using regular combat to enhance students' competitive spirit—a rather clever approach.
After the tour, they finally arrived at a relatively large training ground. About ten people were training hard, and judging from their soul power and mental state, they were much stronger than ordinary students, having basically reached or approached the Soul Grandmaster level.
Dean Flander quickly introduced, "These 11 people are our lineup for next year's Douluo Federation Soul Master Competition. By next year, we should have a full lineup of Soul Masters, and maybe even one or two Soul Kings."
Although the two schools are competitors, Elemental Academy is much stronger than Shrek Academy in terms of both foundation and strength. Besides, there's no need to hide this lineup from Elemental Academy, since the Minister of Education has everyone's information.
Besides the students, there were two teachers on the training ground. One teacher looked rather dejected, was older, and had low soul power. The other teacher was relatively young but very strong, probably already a Soul Douluo. The two teachers were very puzzled to see Dean Flander bring people to the training ground. After all, deans from Hunan rarely bring people to the training ground, and the training process needs to be kept secret.
The elderly Soul Master, in particular, spoke up directly: "Friend, this is a training ground, it needs to be kept confidential. Why did you bring two outsiders here?"
Flander then introduced them directly: "Xiao Gang, these two aren't outsiders, they're teachers from the Elemental Academy, here for an exchange."
Indeed, this decadent old man was none other than Yu Xiao Gang. Yu Xiao Gang looked puzzled. "Flander, are you mistaken? Even if it's an exchange, you wouldn't send two students, would you?"
"Xiao Gang, these two aren't students, they're teachers from the Elemental Academy." "How is that possible? Flander, are you mistaken? Judging by their age, they're probably only in their twenties. You know the level of the Elemental Academy's teachers."
Although Yu Xiao Gang was full of confidence in himself and Shrek Academy, he still had some self-awareness. The Elemental Academy was jointly established by several major families, and its teaching staff was far superior to other Soul Master academies. The most fundamental point was that the Elemental Academy had several Title Douluo.
Not to mention, the Elemental Academy has many cultivation methods designed by Wang Xiaofei, as well as a cultivation tower that's known as a cheat code for cultivation. Resources are plentiful, which is one of the reasons why the Elemental Academy has been so powerful for so many years.
Flander's expression was somewhat grave as he spoke, "I just carefully checked their teacher certificates, and they seem genuine. Moreover, I couldn't even detect their specific soul power, yet they could ignore my pressure. They're clearly Soul Masters, and I suspect they possess some treasure."
"Given their situation, it's impossible for them to be imposters."
