Douluo Continent: I've joined forces with Tang San and taken Xiao Wu as my concubine!

Chapter 43, Heaven Dou Royal Academy

"This, this is... a ten-thousand-year-old soul ring!"

Meng Bei nodded.

"good."

"It's just that when I usually absorb soul rings, I always feel that the so-called optimal age soul rings are too easy to absorb, without any pressure. Therefore, in this soul hunting, I tried to break through my own limits a little."

Ning Fengzhi was secretly astonished upon hearing this.

Although Meng Bei spoke casually, the word "slightly" he used was equivalent to at least 5000 years of increased soul power in reality!

"My dear nephew's talent is truly astonishing!"

Ning Fengzhi exclaimed in admiration.

"However," Ning Fengzhi changed the subject, adding earnestly, "nephew, it would be best to avoid such risky actions in the future. After all, my daughter is waiting to be betrothed to you, and we can't afford any mistakes!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Bei nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Suddenly, he realized something.

Ning Fengzhi seemed to be saying something just now...

Looking up, he saw Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo all smiling at him.

Then look at Ning Rongrong, whose face is now flushed red and buried deep in her neck.

Meng Bei instantly understood, quickly stood up, and solemnly bowed.

With a smile on his face, he respectfully said:

"Your son-in-law greets your father-in-law."

Meanwhile, Shrek Academy, after a long and arduous journey, finally arrived near Heaven Dou City today.

Their destination, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, was located on a private mountain peak outside Heaven Dou City.

The entire mountain, including the lakes and fields at its foot, belongs to the Tiandou Royal Academy.

Just like everything that happened in the original story, the Shrek Academy students were quickly questioned after entering the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, which then led to a conflict.

It's not really the fault of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

Originally, the Shrek Academy students' outfits were actually quite presentable, especially Dai Mubai, whose attire clearly indicated that he was a nobleman. The others, while not necessarily dressed in luxurious clothes, were at least clean and tidy.

However, the master, in his arrogance, made everyone walk from the distant city of Soto to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. After such a long and arduous journey, even the best clothes and attire couldn't withstand such treatment. Naturally, by the time the Shrek Academy students arrived at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, they were dressed almost like beggars.

Prince Xue Beng was a spoiled brat by nature, and seeing everyone like this, he couldn't help but mock them, which resulted in him being beaten up.

"Shrek Academy, huh? You just wait! With Avalanche here, none of you will stay here!"

Xue Beng said fiercely, and then led his men to invite the backer.

Meanwhile, the Shrek Academy students were quickly welcomed by the higher-ups of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy after explaining their identities.

The three highest-ranking education commissioners personally came down to greet them.

Since the nominal dean of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy is His Majesty the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, these three members of the Education Committee are actually the highest-ranking leaders of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

One of the education committee members strode over and warmly grasped Dean Flander's hand.

"Dean Flander, it's an honor to have heard so much about you! You've taught so many monstrous youths; you truly deserve the title of 'Monster Dean'!"

"Let me introduce myself. I am the Chairman of the Academic Affairs Committee, Meng Shenji, with the Martial Soul Black Demon, and a level 86 Soul Douluo in the Control category!"

Afterwards, Meng Shenji introduced the two elderly teachers beside him to Flanders and the others. They were also Soul Douluo of level 80 or above.

Flander was flattered and quickly bowed to the three Soul Masters to express his respect, while also introducing himself and the teachers and children behind him.

Meng Shenji kindly invited Flander to the reception room for a meeting, and had the servants set out various teas, fruits, and snacks.

The fat guy couldn't resist eating one, and it tasted really delicious. He wanted to eat more, but out of consideration for his teacher, he refrained from doing so.

The group had a brief conversation, during which Meng Shenji showered Flander with praise, making Flander feel truly flattered.

"I am truly unworthy of such praise from Senior Meng."

Flanders said this with great humility.

Meng Shenji laughed heartily after hearing this, and jokingly said:

"Dean Fu, please don't be modest. I've heard from Teacher Qin and Tian Heng that you have a student named Meng Bei who is a real little monster. He's so young, yet his strength is terrifying. I heard Tian Heng say that even if he and Yan Zi were together, they might not be a match for him. Is that true?"

Upon hearing Meng Shenji's words, Flander's heart skipped a beat.

His face flushed red and then turned pale; he was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do.

Meng Shenji was unaware that Meng Bei had already left Shrek Academy. Seeing that Flander's expression was off, he immediately asked with concern:

"Dean Fu, why is your face a little red?"

Flanders stammered in response:

"It's too hot inside."

Meng Shenji nodded, but then noticed that Flander's face had turned pale again, and he was immediately puzzled.

"Dean Fu, why has your face turned pale again?"

Flander wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground, but helplessly, faced with Meng Shenji's concerned inquiry, he could only force a reply:

"Sand blown on by the wind on the road."

Meng Shenji shook his head. How could a Soul Saint-level expert possibly get sand stuck to his path?

"Alright, Dean Fu, stop hiding it. Quickly call this student out. Our Heavenly Dou Royal Academy's Teaching Committee has unanimously decided, after discussion, to give this student special attention and training!"

At this point, Flanders knew that he couldn't hide it any longer.

All I could do was give a bitter smile.

"Sigh, actually, actually..."

"What's wrong?"

Meng Shenji finally realized something was wrong.

Flander lowered his head and said, "Actually, Xiao Bei... he withdrew from Shrek Academy because of some conflicts."

"What?!"

Meng Shenji was shocked.

"This...this has to be! What mistake did this student make? Is it really irreconcilable?"

Meng Shenji could not understand it.

Generally speaking, even if a talented student like Meng Bei is at odds with the academy, the academy leaders should try their best to mediate the conflict. At worst, they could grant him some special privileges. Geniuses always get preferential treatment. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a great loss for the academy if such a talented student just left like that?

Flander was now stammering and unable to speak.

Is he going to tell Meng Shenji that Xiao Bei left the academy because a teacher broke into his room and invaded his privacy, which led to him injuring the teacher?

To be honest, Flander himself felt ashamed and somewhat sorry for Meng Bei.

But the master was his sworn brother, and he couldn't get the stubborn master and Xiao Bei to apologize.

"Sigh~"

With a sigh, Meng Shenji seemed to understand Flander's predicament a little better.

With things having come to this point, Meng Shenji had no other choice but to settle for second best.

"In that case, we'll discuss this student another time."

"Dean Fu, I heard from Tian Heng that your academy has another genius, equally brilliant. Although not as outstanding as the one we just heard about, he is still extremely talented. As a Soul Master specializing in controlling Souls, he was able to take Tian Heng down with him in a direct battle. I wonder where this student is now?"
