Douluo Continent: Ultimate Sea God Dragon, Inheriting Two Godhoods

The surface of the teacup was covered with tea leaves.

Upon seeing this, every member of the Royal Fighting Team wore a look of disgust. They had never seen such poor tea before; it didn't even deserve to be called tea.

However, since the person in front of them was Teacher Qin's mentor, they could only maintain a polite and courteous smile, but none of them actually chose to try.

Apart from…

This must be the legendary starry sky.

Ouyang Ling's face twitched. He picked up the teacup and took a sip, but almost choked on the tea leaves.

Silently let go, and push away without making a sound.

He then looked at Flander speechlessly, "Dean Flander, His Highness the Crown Prince allocated you a considerable amount of funds; surely you can afford some decent tea?"

"What are you saying?"

Flander carefully put the tea canister away. "Our academy is poor! Now that we have money, we should spend it wisely. We should save on small things like this."

Flanders complained of being poor, but Ouyang Ling remained noncommittal.

However, while he agreed with the idea of ​​"spending money wisely," he also acknowledged the positive results.

Because Oscar's cultivation level has now reached level 29, which is one year ahead of the original timeline.

Although Ma Hongjun didn't see him, he just learned from Flander that Flander's cultivation level had reached level 27, far exceeding the original cultivation speed.

As for Dai Mubai who was the last one left…

In Flander's words, he came to Shrek Academy not so much to study, but more to escape.

Aside from completing his daily lessons, all he did was seek pleasure in the city.

Use your free time to cultivate?

He didn't have that idea at all.

Even with deliberately increased course load, although he completed every single lesson, what happened next...

They continued their pursuit of pleasure.

It has a hint of self-abandonment.

Flander, who could roughly guess Dai Mubai's situation, eventually let things slide at other times, only being strictest in class and providing him with the best cultivation resources. It can be said that he fulfilled the responsibilities of a teacher.

"It's quite impressive that you've achieved this much."

After considering for a moment, Ouyang Ling turned to Yu Tianheng and said, "Tianheng, why don't you take Dugu and the others to the city to book a banquet? Today, Teacher Qin and his students are getting together, so we should celebrate."

The topic, which was completely unrelated to what had just happened, initially startled Yu Tianheng, but he quickly realized that the next topic probably didn't want them involved.

So he quickly got up and agreed.

"Okay, I'll go order it."

Just as he was about to leave with his men, he said, "Wait."

Flander suddenly stopped them, then looked at the restless Oscar, "Oscar, call Hongjun, the two of you go together. He's a good eater, he's explored all the hotels around here. He knows which ones are good, which ones are bad, and which ones offer good value for money. While you're in town, look for Mubai. If you run into him, call him; if not, that's fine."

Seeing this, Zhao Wuji joined in the fun, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Let Fatty have his fill, say his teacher is treating tonight!"

"Alright."

In short, he almost made Flanders cough up blood!

Fortunately, Qin Ming was sensible and took over the responsibility of treating everyone.

So, a large group of people walked out of the dean's office.

In no time, only Ouyang Ling, Qin Ming, Flander, and Zhao Wuji, the dean and vice dean, remained.

"Young friend Ouyang, what would you like to discuss with me?"

With a serious expression, Flander became earnest.

However, Ouyang Ling didn't get straight to the point; instead, he took a roundabout approach. He asked in return, "Dean Flander, this year's Shrek Academy students should be the most talented class ever, right?"

Although he didn't know what they were really up to, Flanders nodded in agreement, "They are indeed the best."

"It would be a shame not to participate in the Soul Master Competition."

With this remark,

The three people, except for Ouyang Ling, froze.

Zhao Wuji was the first to react, looking at Qin Ming who was somewhat dazed, and sighed regretfully.

Flander, who was the second to come to his senses, reacted in the same way.

Finally, it was Qin Ming himself.

He looked up and sighed helplessly, "I thought I had forgotten all about it."

He slowly turned his head, his eyes filled with reproach.

"Ouyang, you've really hurt the teacher's feelings."

At his age, with his talent, he was fully qualified to stand on the stage of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament. But unfortunately, Shrek Academy lacked that opportunity.

Does Qin Ming feel regret?

of course.

Everyone longs to stand on the mainland stage and showcase themselves! What young person wouldn't yearn for glory?

But he missed that opportunity.

What a young man cannot obtain will haunt him for the rest of his life.

"Teacher Qin, I'm sorry."

Ouyang Ling gave a look that conveyed apology.

Qin Ming: "..."

Then, amidst Qin Ming's silence, Ouyang Ling looked at Flander again. "Dean Flander, in my opinion, the current students of Shrek Academy are fully qualified and capable of participating in this grand event. But they lack an opportunity; Shrek Academy lacks the qualifications."

"And coincidentally, our second team from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy is still missing six suitable young Soul Masters."

Qin Ming, who already knew what Ouyang Ling was going to do, nodded repeatedly and began to cooperate with him, indicating that he was right.

"so…"

Flander's words were choked with emotion, "You want Oscar and the others to join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

The next second, he became somewhat agitated, "No! They're Shrek students!"

"and then?"

Ouyang Ling spoke extremely quickly, giving Flander no chance to speak. "Dean Flander, you must understand that Shrek Academy is only able to continue operating because of His Highness the Crown Prince's support. Otherwise, given Shrek's current situation, there's no way they could provide these talented students with better training, not even now. Can Shrek build a simulated training ground?"

Flanders: "..."

The answer is definitely no!

The construction of a simulated training ground requires a large investment of funds, and the subsequent maintenance also requires a lot of money, which is difficult even with the support of the Crown Prince.

For a moment, he was speechless.

Taking this opportunity, Ouyang Ling pressed his advantage.

"The previous students were able to grow sufficiently in their early stages after Shrek Academy received His Highness the Crown Prince's support. But this year's Shrek Academy students are different. They are highly talented, and what Shrek Academy has and can offer them is no longer enough. You want to cultivate dragons that soar to the heavens, but how can a dragon only grow in shallow water? You should also consider your disciples. Shouldn't you?"

Flanders remained silent.

Qin Ming and Zhao Wuji couldn't get a word in edgewise. They could only look around.

"I…"

Flander opened his mouth, "Actually, when His Highness the Crown Prince proposed acquiring Shrek Academy, I knew this day would come. At first, I was unwilling, so I didn't agree. But after receiving support..."

He shook his head, his actions and words tinged with bitterness. "The difference between having money and not having money, having resources and not having resources, is just too great. I'm gradually realizing that it was my unwillingness to accept my fate that held those children back."

At that moment, he seemed to have let go of something.

He looked at Ouyang Ling with utmost sincerity.

"Actually, I am very grateful to you, and also to His Highness the Crown Prince. Without your help, Shrek Academy might have had to shut down long ago."

"So you're right!" Flander stood up abruptly, his eyes flashing with determination. "Take them with you! The regret of Xiaoming not being able to participate in the Soul Master Competition should not be repeated on these children."

"Dean!"

Qin Ming stood up immediately afterward, his eyes reddening.

"I have never blamed you."

"Alright, boss, Xiaoming." Zhao Wuji patted him on the shoulder. "We teachers are here to help our students achieve greater success and have a brighter future."

"So isn't this a good thing?"

At this moment, this rough man could be said to be quite clear-headed. He did not share Flanders' obsession.

Once he truly fell in love with the teaching profession, his students' future became what he valued most.

"Boss, you've thought of everything." Zhao Wuji walked to Flander's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile.

"You don't need to say it."

Flanders rolled his eyes at him, then sighed, "It's just that from now on, we old buddies will have to retire together in this little village."

"Hey—, what's the big deal?" Zhao Wuji waved his hand dismissively. "I've had enough of those days of fighting and killing!"

"You bastard..."

Flanders: I'm suddenly feeling a bit moved!

Meanwhile, Qin Ming stood to the side:

"Dean Flander, Vice Dean Zhao Wuji..."

Just as the three were getting emotional,

Ouyang Ling, who was being ignored, was speechless.

No, what did you guys imagine after that?

After giving him a half-moon eye gesture, he interjected, "...Hey Dean Flander, don't you want your personal disciple to take care of you in your old age?"

Flanders: ? ? ?

"what?"

……

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Yu Tianheng and Oscar were completely unaware of what happened at Shrek Academy afterward. Right now, they had arrived in Soto City.

The plump Ma Hongjun suggested:

"Let's go to Ke Shang Ju."

"What are you going there for?"

Oscar stopped and looked back.

"Didn't Brother Ouyang and the teacher say they wanted to book a banquet?" Ma Hongjun scratched his head, somewhat puzzled. "That restaurant has the best value for money."

"Little fatty, you don't understand, do you?"

Yu Feng, who had already become familiar with them, smiled and said, "It's just a dinner reservation. There will be at most 20 people attending. It's not a holiday, so there won't be many guests. There's no need to make a reservation so early."

"Huh? Then why are you out so early?"

Ma Hongjun patted his stomach and said resentfully, "I should have stayed in the dormitory to cultivate. Poor me, my stomach... I'm afraid it'll get thinner."

"Little Fatty, you can't just stay in the dorm all the time."

Dugu Yan, holding Yu Tianheng's arm, teased, "If you don't get out and move around, you might get fatter and fatter, and then it'll be hard to find a girlfriend."

"So what if I have a girlfriend?" Ma Hongjun said nonchalantly. "Besides, I'm building up this weight for a better burst of power. The more fat I have, the stronger I'll be."

"Tch—" Yu Feng said, disbelieving. "I think if you get any fatter, you won't be a phoenix anymore, you'll be a chicken."

Ma Hongjun was furious!

"Birdman! Who are you calling a chicken?!"

Yu Feng continues to act like a jerk:

"I'm calling you!"

"ah--"

Seeing the two arguing, Yu Tianheng smiled and shook his head. He ignored them and turned to the others, saying:

"Let's all go explore the city first, and meet at 'Ke Shang Ju' at six o'clock, the place Little Fatty mentioned."

"Yes!" ×N
