Chapter 19 Conflict
The next morning.
Shi Yi habitually woke up from his cultivation state. The first thing he did when he woke up was not to wash or eat, but to take out a small notebook from his soul guide to record his cultivation time. The small notebook was densely packed with records of Shi Yi's daily cultivation time. Every time he upgraded a level, Shi Yi would also make corresponding records.
This has long become Shi Yi's habit, because this is the necessary data for him to analyze his cultivation speed. Only through this data can Shi Yi know the changing curve of his cultivation speed. According to these changes, Shi Yi will constantly make new adjustments to his cultivation in order to keep this changing curve rising.
After years of conditioning and unblocking, according to Shi Yi's records, Shi Yi's cultivation speed has long reached a stable threshold. If Shi Yi's speculation is correct, this should be the so-called cultivation threshold of innate full soul power.
This conclusion is also in line with the reality. Taking Tang San as an example of a person with full innate soul power and advanced skills, through continuous practice over the years, his soul power level reached level 29 when he entered Shrek Academy, while Shi Yi's soul power level at this time also reached level 27, only two levels lower than Tang San. Of course, he is two years older than Tang San.
"It seems that before the eight extraordinary meridians are opened, the speed of practice will not be greatly improved." Shi Yi murmured.
Then Shi Yi also made his own breakfast, simple rice porridge with some river shrimps and simple seasonings. Just as Shi Yi was cooking the river porridge beautifully,
a familiar shoe horn face appeared in front of Shi Yi.
Shi Yi pretended to be surprised when he saw someone coming and said, "Senior? Why are you here?"
Flanders was not polite either. He took out a stool from his soul guide and sat next to Shi Yi. He did not answer Shi Yi's question, but asked Shi Yi, "Why haven't you signed up?"
Shi Yi was surprised and said, "Senior, who are you?"
Flanders' sharp eyes fell on Shi Yi. He looked at Shi Yi suspiciously and said, "You really don't know who I am?"
"Now I can probably guess a little. It turns out that you are the old friend that the teacher mentioned." Shi Yi said to Flanders.
After that, Shi Yi also took out bowls and chopsticks from his soul guide, filled a bowl of porridge and handed it to Flanders, chuckled and said, "You probably haven't eaten yet, try it?"
Flanders was not polite either, took the bowl and chopsticks and started eating with Shi Yi, and explained by the way, "The admission requirements of your academy are too high. Although I have reached level 27, I am two years older. Going to school is not a big problem for me. Whatever the teacher knows, I know, and what the teacher doesn't know, I also know a little."
Flanders took a sip of the hot porridge, snorted and said, "What a big tone, can you improve or even solve the negative effects brought about by the martial soul mutation?"
"I don't know if I can solve this problem, but I believe that this problem will not be more difficult than letting myself, who has the innate first-level soul power, practice until now." Shi Yi took a sip of the hot porridge happily and said calmly.
Hearing this, Flanders's stubby face couldn't help but smile, and then he whispered, "It tastes good. When you hear the bell, come to the academy's open space. You're enrolled."
After saying that, Flanders drank the bowl of hot porridge in his hand before Shi Yi agreed, put the bowl and chopsticks aside casually, and disappeared. Shi Yi
smiled and continued to drink the porridge in his hand happily.
After a long time, there was a sudden sound of "dangdangdang" outside. Shi Yi cleaned up the bowl and chopsticks in a leisurely manner and went to the direction of the bell.
When Shi Yi came to the Shrek playground, the Shrek Seven Devils had all arrived.
Shi Yi smiled and stepped forward, saying to Tang San and Xiao Wu, "Good morning, junior brother, Xiao Wu."
Xiao Wu snorted and ignored Shi Yi, while Tang San greeted Shi Yi honestly, "Good morning, senior brother."
The eyes of the other five people were all focused on Shi Yi for a while, with curiosity and questions.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Tang San hesitated.
"Junior brother, naturally your brother is so powerful that he was exempted from the entrance examination." Shi Yi chuckled.
Tang San nodded with a look of realization, while Xiao Wu whispered, "Shameless."
At this time, Dai Mubai stepped forward slowly and said, "Boy, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want. The dean said that it is better to have nothing than to have something unqualified. No matter when, even if Shrek Academy is closed, it will never accept trash. Only monsters. At the age of fourteen, you are already over the age limit."
Ma Hongjun also stood up, looking at Shi Yi's face with a hint of jealousy in his eyes, and said, "That's right. The teacher has run Shrek for so many years, and there has never been a backdoor under his nose. Who didn't tie his belt tightly and exposed you?"
Another boy with peach blossom eyes and a girl in luxurious clothes looked at Shi Yi, their eyes were also full of playfulness, and the cold girl not far away looked indifferent as if nothing had anything to do with her.
After hearing what the two said, Xiao Wu looked at Shi Yi with suspicion. She wanted to agree with him but was stopped by Tang San. Others did not understand Shi Yi, but Tang San understood that with his senior brother's attainments in theoretical research and knowledge reserves, he did not need to go to the so-called academy.
"You will know when the dean comes." Tang San also spoke at the right time.
Tang San's words calmed Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun down. Although they thought it was still impossible, what if it happened?
"Fatty, even if it's just to give Xiao San this face." Dai Mubai said arrogantly.
Seeing this, Shi Yi also looked helpless. He felt that Flanders, the profiteer, must be watching in secret.
While they were talking, Flanders walked over from the other side of the playground.
Xiao Wu was surprised and asked, "Isn't this the shop owner?"
Oscar introduced to everyone, "What shop owner? This is our dean, the founder of Shrek Academy, Four-eyed Cat Owl Flanders. A level 78 Soul Saint. Even more powerful than Teacher Zhao. And he has a flying beast martial spirit. It is quite rare among combat soul masters. Fatty is his direct disciple."
Flanders walked in front of the seven students and stopped. His unique hoarse voice with a bit of magnetism sounded, and he slowly said, "This year is very good. We have five more little monsters. I, the dean of Shrek Academy, Flanders, welcome you on behalf of the academy. Later, each of you will pay 100 gold coins to Teacher Li who is in charge of finance. Mubai."
At this time, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were both incredulous. Even when Flanders called out Dai Mubai's name, Dai Mubai didn't notice it.
Flanders coughed and repeated, "Mubai?"
Dai Mubai came back to his senses slightly, still maintaining an expression of disbelief on his face, and pointed at Shi Yi and said, "Dean, on what basis can he be exempted from the entrance examination? He is over the age limit."
"With a level of innate level one, and a level of twenty-seven at the age of fourteen, doesn't such a person meet Shrek's admission standards? Doesn't such a person deserve to be called a monster?" Flanders looked at Dai Mubai and said indifferently.
Hearing this, everyone looked at Shi Yi in disbelief, and then their eyes fell on Tang San.
"I can prove this, Senior Brother's innate soul power is indeed the first level of innate." Tang San said lightly.
"Dean, I don't believe it! A soul master of the first level of innate may not be able to cultivate to the soul master in this life. Just relying on him?" Dai Mubai looked at Shi Yi and said excitedly.
Shi Yi smiled slightly and whispered: "Slaves of fate, pathetic."
Shi Yi's words seemed to hit Dai Mubai's sore spot. Dai Mubai's eyes flashed with evil light, and his right fist suddenly raised, accompanied by a swift forward rush, straight to Shi Yi's chest.
In just a moment, Flanders appeared in front of Shi Yi, quickly and accurately holding Dai Mubai's fist.
"Mubai, are you questioning me?" Flanders held Dai Mubai's fist and looked at Dai Mubai lightly. The sharp eyes instantly made Dai Mubai sober up from his anger.
Dai Mubai glanced at Shi Yi who was not far away, a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, and he said softly: "I dare not, Dean."
Hearing this, Flanders slowly let go of Dai Mubai's hand, and Dai Mubai also bowed slightly to Flanders.
Flanders also sighed slightly when he saw this. To be honest, if he was not the disciple of his old friend, he would find it hard to believe Shi Yi's achievements.
"Okay, five more juniors are here. Go back and rest, and try to restore your condition to the best possible level. Today's first class will start in the evening. Oscar, you and Ning Rongrong are exceptions. You two follow me."
Flanders waved his hand and said, "Others can go and rest. Remember, before dark, get yourself in the best condition. Don't blame me for not reminding you. The teaching in this academy is different from other places. You may even face danger."
Zhu Zhuqing slowly left before she glanced at Shi Yi and Dai Mubai. Dai Mubai stared at Shi Yi, as if he wanted to find Shi Yi's flaws and expose Shi Yi's "lies". Ma Hongjun also quickly slipped away. Although he didn't believe in his heart that Shi Yi could cultivate to this level with the innate level one spirit power, but the words coming from his teacher's mouth were probably true.
Tang San was not in a hurry to leave. He wanted to see how the dean in front of him taught. Oscar and Ning Rongrong's martial spirits were both auxiliary, which should be the reason why they didn't attend the evening classes. But what made Tang San very strange was why the teaching was held at night?
Tang San didn't leave, so Xiao Wu was naturally in no hurry to leave. She stood beside Tang San and watched quietly.
Shi Yi, who had nothing to do, was not in a hurry to leave either. He had no interest in Flanders' method of dealing with the little girl, but he was interested in Ning Rongrong.
Whether it was the wealth of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect behind Ning Rongrong or the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Tower Spirit Master's abnormal ability to identify special metals, it was extremely important for his research on spirit guides.
Sure enough, after Flanders's long speech, Flanders gave Oscar and Ning Rongrong a task.
"Your course today is physical training. From now on, run around the entire village for twenty laps. If you haven't run back before lunch, you don't have to eat lunch. You can use your own martial spirit to assist. Now, let's go. Oscar is responsible for leading the way."
"Yes." Ning Rongrong agreed and ran out without hesitation. Oscar glanced at Tang San and others standing next to him with some resentment, and then followed.
Seeing Oscar and Ning Rongrong running out, Flanders looked at Tang San and Shi Yi helplessly and said, "You guys come with me."
Tang San nodded, and at the same time waved to Xiao Wu who wanted to follow him, and then followed Shi Yi and Flanders into the academy.
Flanders' office, which was also his residence, was not far from the venue where Tang San and Zhao Wuji fought yesterday. The room was simply decorated, with only some necessary things.
Flanders sat down behind his desk, looking at the two, and suddenly a complex light flashed in his eyes, "Is your teacher okay?"
Tang San did not speak but looked at Shi Yi.
Shi Yi nodded and smiled, "The teacher is very good, he can eat and sleep well."
Flanders looked at the two and nodded, and looked at Shi Yi and said, "You kid is really good at poking people in the heart, you should be able to see where Mu Bai comes from."
Shi Yi smiled and nodded.
"Don't blame me for not reminding you. Mu Bai is now fifteen years old, a level thirty-seven Battle Soul Master. Although your achievements are very high, they are indeed unbelievable. You shouldn't provoke him." Flanders whispered to Shi Yi.
"If you hadn't taken action just now, I might have chopped off his hand based on his underestimated state without his martial spirit possessing a body and releasing spirit skills." Shi Yi chuckled.
Tang San also nodded slightly. Dai Mu Bai's state just now, even with three spirit rings, was still a mortal body. Shi Yi's sword, with the blessing of spirit power, could still cut iron like mud even with the same iron essence.
Flanders' face darkened when he heard this. Thinking of Shi Yi yesterday, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes and he said, "Soul Guidance Device?"
"Yes, thanks to you, there are some achievements in the research of soul guidance devices." Shi Yi smiled.
Flanders nodded and said, "Alright, although Shrek encourages fighting, it will never allow anyone to be disabled. Also, you are not allowed to use your soul guides on students at will."
"I'm not a troublemaker. I always make weapons for self-defense." Shi Yi said with a smile.
Flanders also had a headache looking at Shi Yi. Obviously, Shi Yi was a thorn. On the surface, he didn't seem to cause trouble, but once someone touched him, he would probably explode.
At this moment, Flanders suddenly felt that the taciturn Tang San was much more pleasing to the eye.
Shi Yi thought that he still had to make friends with Ning Rongrong, so he said to Flanders, "Dean, I still have some things to do, so I'll go first. Xiao San has a letter from the teacher for you."
Hearing this, Flanders also nodded and let Shi Yi go. Tang San also took out a letter from his storage bracelet and handed it to Flanders.
