Chapter 153: Shrek Only Recruits Monsters, Application Fee Not Refunded for Failed Applications
[To continue seeing Liu Erlong in the future, I invited her to travel with us.]
[It was my first time inviting a woman, and I was a bit nervous, fearing that if she refused, we might never meet again.]
[Fortunately, Liu Erlong readily accepted the invitation.]
[From then on, the three of us began to make a name for ourselves on the continent.]
[Not only were we known as the Golden Iron Triangle, but we also developed our own Martial Soul Fusion Technique.]
[This Martial Soul Fusion Technique was very powerful!]
[Once unleashed, it could even contend with Titled Douluo despite a difference in rank.]
[With this trump card, no one dared to underestimate the Golden Iron Triangle anymore.]
[Slowly, my affection for Liu Erlong became increasingly difficult to suppress.]
[I decided to muster the courage and confess my feelings to her!]
[Just as I was about to express my feelings to Liu Erlong, I learned that she already had someone in her heart.]
[That person was Yu Xiaogang, who was even smarter than me.]
[My heart was bitter, but I still chose to bless them both.]
[I watched Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang get together.]
[But at that very moment, Liu Erlong's father appeared.]
[That person was Yu Luomian of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and also Yu Xiaogang's biological second uncle.]
[Upon hearing this news, Yu Xiaogang was devastated.]
[To avoid being condemned by thousands and slandered by the world, Yu Xiaogang left Liu Erlong and vanished without a trace.]
[Liu Erlong was also taken away by Yu Luomian, and thus the Golden Iron Triangle went their separate ways.]
[After separating, I founded an academy called Shrek Academy.]
[I wanted to build an unprecedented academy.]
[Therefore, Shrek's recruitment standards were very high.]
[Shrek only recruited monsters, not waste.]
[My goal was ambitious, but due to insufficient funds, Shrek not only lacked complete cultivation resources but also faced a constant financial deficit.]
[To keep the academy running, I could only find ways to earn more money.]
[I set the application conditions for Shrek Academy: students who did not meet the standards for enrollment would not only be unable to enter but would also forfeit their application fee.]
[In addition, the application fee for Shrek Academy was set at ten gold coins.]
[With this method, Shrek Academy managed to sustain itself for a period.]
[However, students who met my expectations were very few.]
[Compared to other academies, Shrek could only be considered a thatched hut. Talented Soul Masters would prefer academies with a reputation and abundant cultivation resources, not Shrek.]
[Every enrollment season, although Shrek always had some clueless individuals apply, the number of students who ultimately entered the academy was very small.]
[To recruit enough students, I could only select potential candidates from commoner villages.]
[My luck was very good. Qin Ming, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar were all geniuses I discovered among ordinary people.]
[I brought these individuals back to the academy to become Shrek students.]
[At the same time, to bring in more funds for Shrek's operation, I also persuaded Dai Mubai of the Star Luo Empire to join the academy.]
"Interesting!"
"Flender is indeed worthy of being one of the Golden Iron Triangle."
"Qin Ming, as one of the instructors at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, was originally a student of Shrek."
"It seems that if I have the chance in the future, I must recruit this person into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
Yu Yuanzhen thought highly of Flender.
Qin Ming was the teacher of the Imperial Fighting Team and had tutored Yu Tianheng extensively.
Yu Yuanzhen knew Qin Ming's capabilities.
It was no exaggeration to say that Qin Ming would definitely become a prominent figure in the future.
The fact that Flender could teach someone like Qin Ming was enough to prove his ability.
Since Shrek was short on money and difficult to maintain daily, Yu Yuanzhen saw an opportunity to recruit him.
With the foundation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, as long as Flender didn't demand an exorbitant price, they could satisfy him.
Money was plentiful!
This was the confidence of being one of the Upper Three Sects.
At the same time, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan also had genius monsters meeting Shrek Academy's standards.
For example, Yu Tianheng would certainly qualify if he joined Shrek.
And Yu Tianxin was also very talented.
If the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan took over Shrek and had Flender train talents for their own clan, that would be a good strategy.
Yu Yuanzhen's lips curled into a slight smile at this thought.
Flender himself was not weak in strength.
Reaching Soul Saint at his age, he might even have a chance to become a Soul Douluo or Titled Douluo in the future.
As for how to make Flender join the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Yuanzhen had already devised a plan.
That was Liu Erlong!
If Yu Yuanzhen brought Flender and Liu Erlong together...
Flender would surely be grateful to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Flender's affection for Liu Erlong was a very good breakthrough point.
"Qin Ming, how dare Shrek Academy be so shameless?"
"Since ancient times, I have never heard of any academy having such a strict rule: if you don't get in, you don't even get your application fee back."
"Isn't this just bullying the common people?"
"This method of accumulating wealth is truly despicable."
"You know, even the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, a gathering place full of noble Soul Masters, would not operate like this."
Someone complained about Flender.
Qin Ming's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, unable to refute.
If someone slandered Flender from other aspects...
Qin Ming would certainly argue forcefully.
He was a grateful person.
Shrek Academy had nurtured him.
Qin Ming held this educational debt in his heart.
But Flender's act of scamming commoners out of their application fees was indeed disgraceful.
No matter how he argued, this was Flender's problem.
Qin Ming's face burned with shame!
"Putting this matter aside, Dean Flender still has many good qualities."
Qin Ming wanted to save some face for Flender.
But discerning people didn't buy it at all.
"This matter cannot be overlooked!"
"How many good qualities can a person with a problematic conscience have?"
Qin Ming was speechless again.
What he said made too much sense.
He could only remain silent!
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!
Sword Douluo shook his head, looking down on Flender's act of scamming commoners out of their application fees.
After all, Flender was one of the Golden Iron Triangle, a renowned Soul Master powerhouse on the continent.
Even if he wanted to make money to cover the academy's expenses, he shouldn't use such a despicable method.
If he had known before that Flender was this kind of person, Sword Douluo would never have let Ning Rongrong attend such a place.
As the saying goes, if the beam above is not straight, the beams below will be crooked!
If the dean cannot set an example...
He might lead others astray.
"I wonder if Rongrong has been led astray or influenced by this old fellow."
"If Shrek leads Rongrong astray, I will make Flender suffer the consequences."
Sword Douluo snorted coldly.
The sound of a sword resounded from his body.
Flender sneezed.
Unaware of what others were plotting in their minds.
