Xiao Wu seemed relieved. "That's good. (Due to caching issues, please access the website directly through your browser for the fastest chapter updates.)"

Tang San glanced at Xiao Wu. "Xiao Wu, what's wrong?"

Xiao Wu shook her head, somewhat evasively saying, "It's nothing. Xiao San, do you think that shrewish businessman will still remember us?"

Tang San smiled wryly, "It's only been two days, he probably hasn't forgotten. But since he's the dean, he shouldn't hold your offense against him against him."

Oscar chuckled and whispered, "You're mistaken. Our Dean Flander is notoriously vengeful. Of course, his greatest virtue is his fierce protectiveness."

Flander, who was walking towards them, suddenly turned his gaze toward them, which landed on Oscar, a playful glint in his eyes.

Oscar was horrified. "Oh no, he might have heard me. This is terrible!"

Flander walked up to the seven students and stopped. His distinctive, slightly magnetic, husky voice rang out, "This year is quite good; we've gained four more little monsters. I, Flander, the Dean of Shrek Academy, welcome you on behalf of the academy. Later, each of you should give one hundred gold coins to Teacher Li, who is in charge of finances. Mu Bai."

"Dean." Dai Mubai stepped forward, seemingly showing great respect for Flander, even with a hint of admiration.

Flander said, "Four more junior students have arrived. Tell them the academy's rules later. Then go back and rest, and try to get yourself back to your best condition. The first class of the day will begin tonight. Oscar, you and Ning Rongrong are an exception. You two come with me."

Oscar's face immediately fell, and he reluctantly walked up to Flander and bowed. His expression softened slightly when he saw Ning Rongrong walk up to him.

Flander waved his hand and said, "The rest of you can go and rest. Remember, get yourself into peak condition before dark. Don't blame me for not warning you. The teaching at this academy is different from other places; you may even face danger."

Zhu Zhuqing left without looking back, and Dai Mubai didn't chase after her this time. Ma Hongjun also disappeared very quickly, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

Tang San wasn't in a hurry to leave; he wanted to see how the dean taught. Oscar and Ning Rongrong both possessed support-type martial souls, which was probably why they didn't attend evening classes. What puzzled Tang San was, however, why classes were held at night?

Tang San didn't leave, so Xiao Wu wasn't in a hurry to leave either. She stood quietly beside Tang San and watched.

Flander didn't mind and said to Oscar and Ning Rongrong, "Everyone has their own cultivation method. Different martial souls require different cultivation methods. In Douluo Continent, there are almost no two martial souls that are exactly the same. Therefore, what the academy will teach you is not how to cultivate your martial soul, but how to use your martial soul and how to better protect yourself and assist your comrades in future battles."

Tang San found Flander's words somewhat familiar. After pondering them carefully, he realized that Grandmaster had said something similar, only that Grandmaster had gone into more detail.

Oscar seemed to have heard similar things before, and lowered his head noncommittally, while Ning Rongrong nodded in deep agreement.

Flander continued, "You two are both support-type Soul Masters, one specializing in attribute enhancement, and the other in food-type Martial Souls. Soul Masters like you need the protection of partners, both on the battlefield and in peacetime; otherwise, you'd have a hard time surviving. Oscar, tell me, as a support-type Soul Master, how can you better protect yourself on the battlefield?"

Oscar replied without hesitation, "Stay behind your teammates as much as possible and use all available terrain and buildings to avoid risks. Stay as far away from dangerous areas as possible."

Flander nodded and said, "That's right. But there's one thing you didn't mention. As a support-type Soul Master, being able to run away is an essential quality. A support-type Soul Master who can't run away isn't a good Soul Master. And what does running away require? It requires stamina. Although as Soul Masters you have your own Soul Power to assist you, and your physical abilities are stronger than ordinary people, the enemies you might face are their Battle Soul Masters. Therefore, as support-type Soul Masters, you also need to train your stamina. In a critical moment, perhaps taking just one more step could save your life."

Oscar knew Flander quite well. Listening to the dean speaking so confidently, he secretly smiled bitterly to himself, thinking, "It's over. I can't escape this today."

Sure enough, after his long speech, Flander nodded to Oscar and Ning Rongrong and said, "Your lesson today is physical training. Starting now, run twenty laps around the entire village. If you haven't run back by lunchtime, you won't get lunch. You can use your martial spirits for assistance. Now, let's go. Oscar will lead the way."

"Yes." Ning Rongrong agreed and ran out without hesitation. Oscar glanced at Tang San and the others standing beside him with some resentment before following her.

Although the village where Shrek Academy was located wasn't large, Oscar understood that Flander was referring to the entire village, including its farmland. One lap was at least three kilometers. Twenty laps—that was a truly terrifying number.

Having a soul power level of over 20 today, completing this course before noon is still an excruciating task for support-type soul masters. Even for battle soul masters of level 20, running such a distance is not easy.

Seeing Oscar and Ning Rongrong run out, Flander pointed at Tang San and said, "You come with me alone."
