Chapter 81 Entering the Heavenly Battle

After a three-day holiday, the Shrek team embarked on their journey to the Heavenly Battle.

Heaven Dou City is not close to Shrek Academy. Even with Ning Rongrong's speed boost and Oscar's sausage supplies, the group did not enter Heaven Dou City until nearly evening.

It was getting late, and since it wouldn't be appropriate for them to bother Qin Ming at this hour, they decided to go to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy to find him the next morning.

The next day, everyone got up very early and set off early.

But the reality was that by noon, they still hadn't reached the gates of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy; they had encountered a serious problem—they were lost.

"Rongrong, didn't you say you knew where the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy was?" Ma Hongjun, who had been wandering in a forest all morning, called out to Ning Rongrong with a miserable expression.

Because Ning Rongrong was born in Tiandou City and had considerable knowledge of the Tiandou Royal Academy, she volunteered to lead the way. However, the problem was that after leading the group for three or four hours, they still hadn't left the forest.

Hearing Ma Hongjun's complaints, Ning Rongrong cutely stuck out her tongue and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Actually, we've already entered Tiandu Royal Academy, but I just can't find the teaching building..."

"ha!?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun was even more puzzled—according to Ning Rongrong, did this forest also belong to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy?!

Flander was most sensitive to this, and almost instantly realized what was going on. A greedy glint flashed in his cloudy old eyes as he said with difficulty, "Rongrong... you mean, this forest also belongs to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy!?"

"Yes!" Ning Rongrong nodded naturally when she saw Flander's somewhat confused expression.

What's so surprising? Her backyard is bigger than this!

"How much money does this cost?! Is this the wealth of the royal family?" When Flander saw Ning Rongrong nod, he was shocked. He stroked a large tree next to him as if caressing a young girl's skin, muttering to himself.

"Why build such a huge forest? Is it just for show? In the capital, where land is so expensive, to acquire such a large plot of land and build a forest instead of houses? That's too flashy! Showing off wealth? Or is it just idiocy?" Everyone was already used to Flander's behavior and simply ignored him. Oscar, who was also born into a commoner family, grinned and laughed at the same time.

Tang San, being a plant-type Soul Master, gently shook his head. Blue Silver Grass sprouted from his fingertips, its emerald light swirling around it.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple!" Tang San sensed the changes in his Blue Silver Grass and said after a moment, "This should be a simulated cultivation environment. Since entering this forest, I've discovered that my Blue Silver Grass can resonate with the surrounding plants. Cultivating in this environment will definitely increase my cultivation speed significantly!"

"Xiao San is right! This is indeed a simulated training environment for plant-type Soul Masters!" Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang spoke up, pointing to a volcano in the distance, and continued, "And that volcano is the most suitable simulated training environment for Han Feng and Hong Jun!"

Wow!

Hearing Tang San and Grandmaster say this, Oscar couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, then awkwardly remarked, "The Heaven Dou Royal Academy is truly wealthy and powerful!"

"After all, he has royal connections!" Tang San smiled slightly, put away the Blue Silver Grass, and said noncommittally.

"Um..." Ma Hongjun, watching everyone chatting happily, raised his hand somewhat awkwardly: "We can talk about these things later. The most important thing right now is... I'm hungry!"

"Gurgle!"

After Ma Hongjun finished speaking, his stomach made a loud noise, which immediately surprised everyone.

"Fatty! You're just like me!" Oscar patted Ma Hongjun on the shoulder with a grin and said teasingly.

Tang San and the others couldn't help but chuckle. Flander gave Ma Hongjun a look that was both helpless and amused. Han Feng even took out a bag of snacks from his soul tool, stuffed it into Ma Hongjun's hand, and said with a grin, "Here! Look at you! You've gotten so thin lately! If you don't eat more, you'll be skin and bones!"

Ma Hongjun took the snacks and glared at Han Feng, but in the end he couldn't resist the temptation of the snacks and, too lazy to argue with Han Feng, started eating them in big bites.

After the joke, Dai Mubai, walking beside Han Feng, frowned and hesitated before saying, "Don't you guys find it strange? We've been wandering around this forest for most of the day and haven't encountered a single student? It's not a holiday today, is it?"

Han Feng nodded in agreement. He vaguely remembered that in the original story, the Shrek Seven Devils seemed to have had a minor conflict with the students of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy before entering the academy, but now they hadn't encountered a single person.

"That's right! If we run into one or two students, we might be able to ask them for directions..."

Tang San agreed, frowning as he spoke.

"Haha... Actually, there are quite a few students cultivating in this forest on weekdays. It's just that today, several teachers and junior students were coming, and the three deans were worried that the students might not know their manners and might talk back to the teachers, so they dismissed the students!" At this moment, a familiar voice rang out behind everyone, and Qin Ming walked out of the forest.

Upon seeing Qin Ming, Flander laughed heartily, stepped forward, and hugged Qin Ming, saying with a smile, "Little Ming, what are you doing here?!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming smiled somewhat awkwardly: "The three deans noticed that the teachers and junior students hadn't gone yet, so they specifically sent students out to search..."

"Ah... haha... haha..."

Flander's smile froze, and he quickly forced a couple more laughs to cover up his embarrassment.

For a dignified agility-based Soul Saint like him to get lost would be too embarrassing if his former students found out!

"I didn't do it on purpose..." Ning Rongrong hid behind Xiao Wu, stuck out her tongue, and her pretty face was flushed with embarrassment.

Qin Ming didn't expose Flander's lie. He smiled slightly and said, "The three deans asked me to show you the way. Please follow me, teachers and junior students!"

"Haha! That's great!" Flander gave Qin Ming an appreciative look and mentally gave him a thumbs up.

"The three deans? Are they the three Soul Douluo seniors from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?" Grandmaster's expression changed, completely unexpected that the Heaven Dou Royal Academy would value them so much—after all, it was Qin Ming who had been negotiating with him before.

"Indeed, you are the three seniors!" Qin Ming nodded and replied with a smile.

Flander wasn't surprised at all. After all, Han Feng was in the team. Even if the Crown Prince appeared right now, Flander wouldn't be surprised!

"Oh right, has Old Zhao arrived yet?" Flander walked over to Qin Ming, thinking of Zhao Wuji, and asked quietly.

Shrek Academy split into two groups: Zhao Wuji and the teachers took one group, while Flander and the Master led the little monsters on the other. Now that Flander hadn't found the school building, he couldn't help but feel a sense of comparison.

Qin Ming gave an awkward smile, fully aware of what his teacher was thinking, but still told the truth: "Teacher Zhao has arrived!"

"Tsk!" Flander clicked his tongue lightly upon hearing this. "Old Zhao beat me to it!"

"Hehe..." Qin Ming could only respond with a wry smile.

In the group, Xiao Wu's brows furrowed slightly, and her face showed a faint worry.

Tang San noticed Xiao Wu's expression and quickly asked anxiously, "Xiao Wu, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu forced a laugh, feigning sadness: "It's nothing, I just don't really want to see Contra..."

"Why?" Tang San asked, puzzled.

"Because they're all a bunch of boring old men!" Xiao Wu said exaggeratedly, making a mournful face.

"Uh..." Tang San's expression froze for a moment, then a helpless look appeared on his face. He gave a wry smile and could only comfort Xiao Wu with kind words.

Han Feng, who had noticed Tang San and Xiao Wu's conversation, rolled his eyes.

Xiao Wu's reluctance to see Contra wasn't because she found the game boring; she was clearly worried about her true form being discovered!

It's fortunate that there were only three Soul Douluos; if there had been three Title Douluos, Xiao Wu would probably have already turned and run away!

However, Han Feng remembered that Dugu Bo would appear at the end of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Dugu Bo was a genuine Title Douluo. If he discovered Xiao Wu's true identity, things would be very serious!

"Let's hope nothing unexpected happens! After all, even the original story didn't reveal this!"

Han Feng could only say this in his heart.
