The elder in the center of the three old men laughed heartily and strode forward to greet them. He directly pulled Flender's hand off his shoulder.
"Headmaster Flender, there's no need to be so polite," the elder said. "I've long admired your reputation, truly long admired it! It is an honor for our academy to have the teachers of Shrek Academy personally guide us. Our humble abode is truly graced." He introduced himself, "I am Meng Shenji, the Chief of the Academic Affairs Committee! My Spirit is the Black Demon, an eighty-sixth-ranked, eight-ringed Battle Spirit Douluo of the Control system. Let me introduce you."
Meng Shenji was of average height and very thin, looking as if he didn't have much flesh on his entire body. When he spoke, his voice was a bit reedy, yet it wasn't unpleasant, giving people a feeling of great amiability. His hair and beard were white, and though he was thin, his Spirit was exceptionally vigorous, and his face glowed with health.
As he spoke, Meng Shenji pointed to the elder on his left. "This is Bai Baoshan, the Vice Chief of the academy's Academic Affairs Committee, a Spirit Douluo. His Spirit is the Heavenly Star Furnace, an eighty-fifth-ranked, eight-ringed Battle Spirit Douluo of the Defense system."
Bai Baoshan's physique was the exact opposite of Meng Shenji's; he wasn't tall but was extremely corpulent, the standard four feet tall with a four-foot waist. A gentle smile always played on his face, and the fat on his cheeks jiggled with his laughter. Hearing Meng Shenji introduce him, he smiled and nodded at Flender.
Immediately after, Meng Shenji pointed to the last elder. "This is Spirit Douluo Zhi Lin, the Third Chief of the Academic Affairs Committee. His Spirit is the Azure Sky Vine, an eighty-third-ranked, eight-ringed Tool Spirit Douluo of the Control system."
Among these three high-ranking members of the Academic Affairs Committee, Zhi Lin appeared the most normal in terms of outward appearance. His looks were also very ordinary. Only the bright gaze occasionally revealed when his eyes opened and closed gave people a somewhat special feeling.
Although Flender already knew they were all Spirit Douluo-level powerhouses, above rank eighty, when Meng Shenji introduced them, the feeling was still filled with shock. Especially among these three Spirit Douluo, there were actually two Control system Spirit Douluo. Everyone in the Spirit Master world knew that while the Attack system's offense was fierce, the Control system was the most difficult to deal with and the opponent one least wanted to face. Unless there was a direct counter, it was very difficult for a Spirit Master of the same rank to defeat a Control system Spirit Master in a one-on-one situation.
Of course, there were inevitably some exceptions. For example, Tang San. He was also a Control system Spirit Master. He could be said to be utterly useless. He truly brought shame to Control system Spirit Masters. The main reason for this was that Blue Silver Grass simply had no combat power.
Following this, Flender also quickly introduced the teachers from Shrek Academy. As for the seven students of Shrek, he didn't say much. However, Flender noticed that these three high-ranking members of the Academic Affairs Committee seemed to be more interested in the Shrek Seven Devils than in the teachers.
Meng Shenji showed a benevolent smile. "Everyone, please don't be shy. Once you're here, it's like being at home. Please come in!"
The Academic Affairs Committee was not as luxurious as imagined. On the contrary, the interior of the place where these three Spirit Douluo worked and resided was very simple. There were only necessary furnishings and some simple green plants for embellishment.
Everyone took their seats, host and guests alike. Because there weren't many chairs in the Academic Affairs Committee, the Shrek students could only stand behind Flender and the other teachers. At this moment, everyone's eyes were somewhat excited. After all, sitting before them were three Spirit Douluo-level powerhouses. In the entire Spirit Master world, Spirit Masters who could cultivate to this level were absolutely rare, and all of them possessed immense power. Even if they couldn't destroy the world, they could certainly move freely through a myriad of armies.
Meng Shenji had servants bring tea and refreshments. Then his gaze swept over the seven Shrek students standing there, and he smiled, saying: "Teacher Qin Ming told me that these children defeated our Royal Fight Team. This truly astonishes me; Shrek Academy is indeed a gathering place for monsters. Qin Ming's achievements have already greatly surprised me, but I didn't expect your esteemed academy to cultivate so many outstanding geniuses."
Flender let out a bitter laugh. "Shrek Academy no longer exists."
Meng Shenji shook his head earnestly: "No, look at these children behind you. Their future achievements, and the achievements of Shrek Academy's former graduates... the glory will always belong to Shrek Academy! Qin Ming has made everything very clear to us. It is our honor that you all could come to our academy this time. Unless the teachers are willing, the academy will never assign any teaching tasks to you. Here, everything about you is free. Feel free to make any requests; as long as they are within my authority, they are negotiable."
Flender was, after all, a powerhouse of over rank seventy. He could naturally see the sincerity revealed by these three Spirit Douluo. It was absolutely not feigned. This showed how eager they were for talent. They even chose to completely trust Qin Ming without any probing.
Spirit Douluo Zhi Lin, the Third Chief of the Academic Affairs Committee, suddenly asked: "Teacher Qin said that among these students from your esteemed academy, there is a particularly outstanding genius Spirit Master. Who might that be?"
Flender smiled calmly, not denying that Huo Feng was a genius: "Huo Feng!"
Hearing Flender call his name, Huo Feng stepped out from among the seven Shrek students. Then he simply bowed to the three Spirit Douluo. "Greetings, three teachers."
Zhi Lin smiled slightly, and the air around his body suddenly twisted subtly. The others didn't feel anything. But Huo Feng clearly noticed that the air around his body seemed to solidify. A massive Spirit Power fluctuation surged forth, and his body was completely unable to move. He frowned, thinking to himself, 'What is this old man doing?'
But Huo Feng quickly understood that the other party seemed to be testing his strength. He released threads of Spirit Power, resisting the continuously invading force.
At this moment, everyone from Shrek Academy also realized what Spirit Douluo Zhi Lin was doing. But no one said anything. Zhi Lin's test of Huo Feng's strength was like an entrance examination. Flender was even eager for him to do so. It would also allow these high-ranking officials of Heaven Dou Royal Academy to see just how formidable the strength of the Shrek Team's captain, who defeated the Royal Fight Team, truly was!
"Hmm." Zhi Lin's originally calm gaze gradually turned to surprise. Then his pupils suddenly constricted twice. Because he discovered that Huo Feng's Spirit Power seemed to have broken through rank forty! Looking at it this way, the Royal Fight Team's loss was not unjust at all. At the same time, it also proved that Qin Ming's praise for him was not flattery but was based on genuine strength.
Meanwhile, hundreds of kilometers away, Tang San was cursing as he was kicked out of a restaurant. This was already the third restaurant he had been thrown out of. For a moment, Yu Xiaogang actually felt that Tang San was a bit useless. If he couldn't even beg for food, what good was he?
"Tang San, go to the next one!" Yu Xiaogang instructed. "This time, remember to mention my name!"
"Bang—!"
A minute later, Tang San was directly kicked out. The boss had a fierce look on his face. "What Grandmaster? Never even heard of him!"
