Douluo: Suzaku bathed in fire, I am the master of fire

Chapter 106 Shrek Enters Blue Overlord
After calming down Dai Shi, Flander led the group to the courtyard where Liu Erlong lived.

"Second Sister, look who I brought with me!"

Upon arriving at the entrance of Liu Erlong's courtyard, Flander greeted Liu Erlong excitedly.

"Brother Fu, you're here? I was just talking about you. And this is... my cousin?"

Liu Erlong was initially surprised to see Flander, having just finished mentioning him. However, when she saw Yu Xiaogang, she seemed somewhat indifferent.

After twenty years, Liu Erlong had long since grown to dislike Yu Xiaogang. Firstly, she had been abandoned in the past; secondly, their relationship was problematic. Although families would arrange marriages within the family for the sake of inheritance, their blood ties were too close, violating ethics; and thirdly, as her strength increased, her perspective changed. When her strength was low, she thought Yu Xiaogang was very powerful, but as her strength rose, she realized that those theories were just common sense. It could only be said that Yu Xiaogang's theories were suitable for ordinary people and average geniuses, but for top geniuses, they would only deplete the potential of a genius.

For Liu Erlong now, Yu Xiaogang is just a cousin, and they have no relation.

"Yes, Erlong, it's been a long time. How have you been all these years?" Yu Xiaogang's tone was somewhat heavy.

To be honest, Yu Xiaogang never expected to meet Liu Erlong. The academy that Flander chose was also run by Liu Erlong, let alone that Flander would directly bring him to meet Liu Erlong. Did Flander not know about their relationship? But since he was already here, Yu Xiaogang could only bite the bullet and speak.

Flander, standing to the side, was dumbfounded. "Bushgoo, didn't you like little anus? Why are you so indifferent now that I brought little anus to see you?"

Little did they know that Liu Erlong had already resolved her inner conflict. Instead of dwelling on Yu Xiaogang, she would rather cultivate and improve her strength than indulge in romance.

"Me? I'm fine. Didn't you see? I opened an academy, and my strength is at the peak of level 79. I'll be a Soul Douluo soon," Liu Erlong said calmly.

Because Ye Qiu had a good relationship with Liu Erlong during the two years he spent at Blue Tyrant Academy, the two exchanged their insights on cultivation. Liu Erlong also learned a lot from Ye Qiu. In the original story, she was only at level 75 at this point, but now she's almost at Soul Douluo.

Don't underestimate these four levels. The higher the level of soul power, the more difficult it is to cultivate. Moreover, age is also closely related to cultivation. She was thirty-three years old when she met Ye Qiu, and now she is forty. A forty-year-old Soul Douluo is still very valuable.

"That's good. I'm sorry for what happened back then." Hearing Liu Erlong's tone, Yu Xiaogang knew that Liu Erlong was doing well now, and he shouldn't bother her anymore.

"What's past is past, there's no need to bring it up again," Liu Erlong said calmly.

"Hmm? Something's not right. How can Erlong be so calm? How can I stay with her if she's like this?" Yu Xiaogang thought to himself.

Although he knew that their identities made it impossible for them to be together, Yu Xiaogang still harbored feelings for her. Liu Erlong had been infatuated with him back then, so why was she so indifferent now? Something was wrong, extremely wrong.

"Alright, alright." Seeing that things were getting a bit awkward, Flander quickly stopped him from continuing. Then, Flander began to talk about what he had written to Liu Erlong earlier.

"Second Sister, what about the letter from before?" Flander asked cautiously.

It's no wonder Flander was cautious. First, he liked Liu Erlong, and second, the academy was run by Liu Erlong. He had come here to rely on her, and while being a dependent was unpleasant, he was willing to grit his teeth and accept it in order to get ahead. Hearing this, Liu Erlong also remembered the matter in the letter and said, "A few young geniuses want to join the academy, right? I agree."

Then Liu Erlong saw the Shrek Academy members behind Flander: "These are the little geniuses? They're all Soul Masters, and one of them is close to a Soul Grandmaster."

Liu Erlong could tell the Shrek Academy members' cultivation levels at a glance. Dai Mubai was close to Soul Master, and the rest were Soul Venerables. Among the Soul Venerables, the highest cultivation levels were Lao San and Rogue Rabbit, followed by Oscar and Ning Rongrong. Ma Hongjun had just reached level 30 and had not yet obtained a Soul Ring. Of course, Ma Hongjun's low Soul Power was related to his habit of taking extra time to wash feet.

"That's wonderful!" Flander said happily. Although it was not pleasant to live under someone else's roof, it depended on the situation. The Heavenly Dou Royal Academy represented the royal family and was very strict, which was not pleasant for someone like him who was used to a leisurely life. But Liu Erlong was different. Liu Erlong was someone he knew well and could let himself go.

As for the relationship between Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong, they may have become a little estranged because they haven't seen each other for a long time, but their relationship will improve over time.

"Second Sister, aren't you going to invite us in?" Flander said with a smile. Seeing Liu Erlong again stirred his heart, but he could only bury this feeling deep within his heart.

Liu Erlong said with a wry smile, "Brother Fu, do you think my thatched hut can hold so many people? By the way, why did you suddenly decide to come to me for help?"

Flanders briefly recounted the details of his trip to the man he had been longing to see.

“We at Shrek Academy haven’t been certified by any empire or kingdom, so we’re not qualified to participate in the Soul Master Competition. These kids are all very talented, and I don’t want them to regret not participating in the Soul Master Competition, so I’ve come to join you.”

Liu Erlong was overjoyed when she heard that Flander had brought the Shrek Academy students directly to her. She had been worried about what would happen in the next Soul Master Competition, but she never expected that he would bring such a group of people.

It should be noted that Blue Tyrant Academy has been open for ten years, only enrolling ordinary students. However, there are very few talented ordinary students, which has led to the entire academy being unable to make ends meet and facing a shortage of qualified students.

"Great job, Boss Fu! I was worried about how to prepare for the Soul Master Competition a year from now, but I didn't expect you to bring me such a group of people. How about this, I'll call the shots at Blue Tyrant Academy. My place is your place."

Flander glanced at the lifeless master beside him and said jokingly, "Our demands for treatment are high. Can you handle it?"

Liu Erlong smiled slightly and said, "Brother Fu, you're wrong. It's not a matter of whether I can handle it or not; that's your problem. You are the leader of our Golden Iron Triangle. From now on, this academy is yours. Tomorrow I will convene a meeting of all teachers and students to announce this decision. At the same time, let's change the name of the academy to Shrek. Let me also share in the glory of your Shrek Academy."

"Huh?" Although Flander had always known that Liu Erlong was a straightforward woman who was just as capable as any man, Flander's original intention this time was only to gain the qualification to join Blue Tyrant Academy. He did not expect that Liu Erlong would give him the academy without saying a word.

"Teacher Yinshu, please go and announce that there will be a college-wide assembly tomorrow. These are all my friends. We haven't seen each other for many years, and we want to catch up today. Please have the cafeteria prepare a sumptuous feast in the private room on the second floor. I want to entertain them."

"Yes, Dean." Although she still didn't understand the true relationship between Dean Liu Erlong and the people in front of her, it was clearly not something Yin Shu should ask, so she hurriedly went back the way she came.
