Douluo Continent: The creation of Jixia Academy made Bibi Dong drool with envy.

Chapter 7 First Encounter in the Stars, the Master's Flames of Resentment!

After uttering a few harsh words, Yu Xiaogang turned and left, his back view filled with anger and humiliation.

He deeply remembered the humiliation of being turned away and also harbored resentment towards the "Jixia Academy" that had made him lose face.

Inside the valley, atop a tall tower.

Yan Boshan stood by the window, his gaze seemingly piercing through time and space, landing on Yu Xiaogang's angry departing figure, a barely perceptible curve appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Yu Xiaogang... are the plots finally about to converge?"

He withdrew his gaze and looked towards the Star Dou Great Forest, his eyes becoming profound.

"Shrek...Tang San...Xiao Wu...and those two..."

An impending storm seems to be quietly brewing in that vast forest.

.........

Outside Soto.

Shrek Academy.

Looking at the dilapidated, almost collapsing village-style academy before him, Yu Xiaogang's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

If Flander hadn't repeatedly assured him of the quality of the teachers and the "only accept monsters" philosophy, he would have almost thought he had gone to the wrong place.

Compared to the mysterious Jixia Academy he had imagined, or rather, the one he was so eager to compare it to, the environment here was worlds apart.

"Hmph, the growth of a Soul Master ultimately depends on theory and guidance, not on flashy external conditions."

Yu Xiaogang comforted himself and became even more convinced of the importance of his "master" status.

Soon, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and others arrived one after another. After Zhao Wuji's somewhat brutal "entrance test," the initial formation of the Shrek Seven Devils was completed.

Yu Xiaogang looked at his disciple Tang San, on whom he had placed high hopes, and several other exceptionally talented "little monsters," and nodded in satisfaction.

He began his "master" teachings.

One day, while "teaching" the Seven Devils and explaining the power distribution in the Soul Master world, Yu Xiaogang "inadvertently" mentioned Jixia Academy.

"...Besides the two great empires and the Spirit Hall, as well as the traditional forces such as the three upper sects and the four lower sects."

In recent years, a mysterious academy called "Jixia" has also appeared on the mainland, said to be based in the Sunset Forest area.

He abruptly changed the subject, a perfectly timed expression of "regret" and "heartache" appearing on his face:
"Alas, I had heard that this academy had some novel aspects, and with the idea of ​​exchanging knowledge and jointly promoting the development of the Soul Master world, I went to visit it."

Who knew…

He sighed heavily, his voice filled with indignation at being insulted:

"The other party was extremely arrogant and refused to see anyone."

They even disregarded my title of 'master'.

His words showed disdain for traditional Soul Master theories and predecessors. It's truly baffling where this arrogant madman came from, so disdainful of everyone and so closed-minded.

It's truly regrettable!

He embellished his experience of being rejected at the gates of Jixia Academy, portraying it as an unreasonable humiliation of an "arrogant junior" by an "academic giant."

Upon hearing this, Tang San was immediately filled with rage.

In his heart, although his teacher Yu Xiaogang was not very capable, he was extremely knowledgeable in theory and was a respected elder and mentor.

How dare the Jixia Academy humiliate his teacher like this?!
"That's unreasonable!"

Tang San slammed his hand on the table. (Although Shrek Academy didn't have many good tables anyway.)

"The teacher's theory is a treasure in the world of Soul Masters."

This Jixia Academy dares to be so arrogant and disrespectful to its seniors; it is a disgrace to the Soul Master world.

They must be some fame-seeking opportunists!

In Tang San's mind, Jixia Academy had already been automatically labeled as a place where people were courting death.

A hint of smugness flashed in Yu Xiaogang's eyes, but his face still wore that pained expression:
"Sigh, mistress, don't act impulsively. Perhaps they really do have some unknown 'difficulties'..."

However, such actions are ultimately not the right path.

These words further solidified the negative image of Jixia Academy in Tang San's mind—arrogant, rude, and not following the right path!
He secretly resolved that if he ever had the chance to meet anyone from the Jixia Academy, he would definitely seek justice for his teacher!

The other oddballs, such as Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, were not as excited as Tang San.

However, this also created an extremely bad first impression of the Jixia Academy, which they had never met before.

Only the perceptive Zhu Zhuqing listened silently without saying a word.

Since Oscar has successfully broken through level 30, he needs to obtain his third spirit ring.

Yu Xiaogang immediately proposed:
"The Star Dou Great Forest is vast and teeming with spirit beasts, making it the perfect place for Oscar to find a suitable spirit ring."

Flanders also saw this as a good opportunity to train his team, so he decided to have Fudo Myoo (Zhao Wuji) protect them.

Yu Xiaogang accompanied the team as the "theoretical advisor," leading them to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for soul rings.

The group entered the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest in a grand procession.

I just arrived at the guesthouse.

The Shrek group then encountered a group of Soul Masters dressed in uniform and with an arrogant attitude—it was the Canghui Academy.

The two sides disagreed, and Shrek's abnormal behavior, coupled with his theory that "those who don't cause trouble are mediocre," quickly led to a conflict.

Although Shrek's group is young, each of them can be described as a monster.

Dai Mubai's Evil Eyes and White Tiger Possession, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass control combined with Ghost Shadow Steps, Xiao Wu's Soft Techniques for close combat, and Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire Phoenix for long-range suppression.

Even though Zhu Zhuqing didn't move.

Even though Oscar didn't use his giant sausage as an aid.

The Shrek Four Monsters quickly routed the students of Canghui Academy.

Ye Zhi Qiu, the teacher leading the Canghui Academy team, was also furious upon seeing this and was about to personally teach these "ignorant brats" a lesson.

Just now.

A series of orderly footsteps came from outside the door.

A group of more than ten people pushed open the door and entered.

The leader was a young man with an ethereal air and an otherworldly handsome appearance.

He wore a strange, moon-white robe trimmed with gold, his eyes indifferent, as if nothing in the world mattered to him.

Behind him followed a middle-aged scholar with a feather fan and turban, exuding wisdom and confidence, and ten teenagers of similar age to the Shrek Seven Devils, but whose auras were far more composed and powerful.

Without exception, all of these people were wearing uniform dark blue and silver-white embroidered with the ancient characters "Jixia".

Their appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Especially his unique attire and the unfathomable aura of the young man in the lead.

The tense atmosphere instantly froze.

The moment Yu Xiaogang saw the familiar yet glaring "Jixia" attire, his face instantly darkened, and his eyes almost spit fire.

It's really a narrow road.

Upon seeing this group of people, Tang San recalled his teacher's previous "accusation."

His eyes immediately turned cold and hostile.

An invisible smell of gunpowder filled the air.

Jixia Academy and Shrek Academy, two academies destined to clash in the future.

In the Star Dou Great Forest, they had their first... encounter!
