Chapter 2: Continental Soul Master Competition

Shrek Academy

In the dean's office, there were two middle-aged men sitting inside. One of them was wearing a pair of reading glasses. It was Cat Owl Flanders.

The other one is Yu Xiaogang, who has short hair and a mouth full of stubble, looks a bit sloppy, and is nicknamed the Master. He is the person who published the core theory of the Ten Martial Spirits.

creak!

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and an angry woman walked in. As soon as she entered the room, she snatched Yu Xiaogang's teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

"I'm so pissed off! These bastards are really rebelling. They're actually against me giving the academy to Boss Fu and demanding that I change it back to Blue Bully Academy. They're really rebelling!"

She has long black hair, fair skin, big eyes and a small nose. She has a very beautiful face, but it is somewhat inconsistent with her hot temper.

She is Liu Erlong, the vice president of this college.

Flanders laughed dryly, feeling somewhat embarrassed. He felt guilty for accepting this student for no reason, and he couldn't help either side.

He didn't know what to say, so he could only change the subject and looked at Yu Xiaogang who was standing by the window and asked, "Xiaogang, didn't you say you wanted to introduce a few people to us? Where are they?"

Yu Xiaogang put his hands behind his back and walked to the window. The bright sunshine fell on him and he pretended to be a master.

He said calmly: "Don't worry, they should be here soon."

Liu Erlong was stunned and extremely confused, as she had no idea what Yu Xiaogang was planning.

Just as she was about to ask, footsteps were heard outside the door, and then the door was pushed open, and five young children walked in.

"Tai Long, Chen Xuan, why are you here?" Liu Erlong asked in confusion.

Among these five people, except Tailong and Chen Xuan, there are Jing Ling, Huang Yuan and the auxiliary soul master Jiangzhu.

"Master!" Tai Lung clasped his fists respectfully. He was in awe of the teacher who could teach such a genius like the Third Young Master.

Chen Xuan nodded slightly in greeting, without any extra movements. Compared with Tyrone, he seemed much calmer.

To him, Yu Xiaogang had nothing to do with him and he was not familiar with him, so there was no reason to show great courtesy.

Jing Ling, Huang Yuan and Jiang Zhu looked at each other without any movement, looking quite indifferent.

On weekdays, the gossip in the academy is about Yu Xiaogang's deeds. Behind the image of a great teacher, he is actually a waste who is less than level 30.

It is said that the Grandmaster has been stuck at the bottleneck of level 29 for more than 20 years. He recently received a magical herb from his disciple Tang San, which allowed him to break the shackles of his life and step into the hurdle of level 30 Soul Master. How incompetent he is.

By this point, many people in the academy had a bad image of Yu Xiaogang, a very bad one. Some students even looked down on this master and thought he was a liar.

Theory is theory, practice is truth. After all, the mainland is based on strength. Having theoretical knowledge but no absolute power is nothing but a facade.

Theory is important, but it is just a beautiful addition to a powerful soul master.

There are some people who doubt whether Yu Xiaogang's ten core theories were really developed by himself. How can he know the knowledge and insights of Soul King, Soul Master, or even Soul Douluo level when he has never broken through level 30 in his life.

Among them, Jing Ling, Huang Yuan and Jiang Zhu did not have a good impression of the master and held a neutral attitude.

Yu Xiaogang took in all the changes in the expressions of the five people, Tailong's respectfulness, Chen Xuan's indifference, and the indifference of the last three.

He frowned slightly. He was particularly sensitive to everyone's attitude towards him.

Obviously, some of these students looked down on him as a master, and they secretly had a bad opinion of him, which he also knew a little about.

Yu Xiaogang felt a little unhappy, it was just that outsiders did not understand him. The Shrek Seven Devils that he had cultivated were enough to prove his strength.

However, he has always been a gentleman and would not make a fuss about such a small matter.

"Ahem, you guys sit down first." Flanders pretended to cough and broke the dull atmosphere.

After Tai Long found a sofa and sat down, he got straight to the point and said, "Master, what do you want to talk to us about?"

Jing Ling, Jiang Zhu and Huang Yuan also looked at him in confusion. They were originally practicing, but were called over inexplicably and told that there was something very important and they couldn't delay.

Yu Xiaogang put his hands behind his back, turned around slowly, and said: "You should have heard about this year's All-Continent Elite Soul Master Competition."

Tai Long, Jiang Zhu and others nodded. Almost everyone in the academy knew about this matter.

Chen Xuan began to close his eyes and rest. He had been practicing physical skills and soul power day and night recently. He rushed to the office without resting after finishing just now. He was very tired and a little sleepy. "I have read your information. Tai Long and Chen Xuan have reached level 38 soul power, and the other three have also broken through to level 35 soul power. Therefore, you are fully qualified to participate in this competition." Yu Xiaogang said.

Hearing these words, Tai Long and Jiang Zhu's eyes lit up, and the others also became excited. Participating in the Continental Soul Master Competition is what many people dream of.

Qin Ming, a former student of Shrek, missed the Continental Soul Master Competition and regretted it all his life.

Yu Xiaogang glanced at the five people, and after seeing the excited reactions of the four of them, he nodded with satisfaction. However, when his eyes fell on Chen Xuan, he frowned.

At this moment, Chen Xuan was resting with his eyes closed. Suddenly, he felt the air become quiet. He opened his eyes in confusion, and what came into his sight was a sloppy face with a frown, staring at him.

"Chen Xuan, do you have any questions?" Yu Xiaogang said in a deep voice.

Chen Xuan looked at everyone, thought for a moment, and guessed that the other party was angry, but he didn't care much and said casually: "Master, you talk about yours, I'm listening."

He was a little speechless. Everyone knew his little plan. Wasn't it just to make them Shrek's substitutes?

The continent-wide elite competition brings together talented and powerful people. Although killing is not allowed according to the rules, injuries are inevitable.

The Shrek Seven Devils are indeed gifted, but if someone gets injured and there are not enough people, they will need a substitute.

And in the entire Shrek Academy, the two people with the highest spirit power who meet the requirements for participating in the competition are Tai Long and him.

To be honest, being a substitute for the Shrek team doesn't actually bring any benefits. Instead, you will suffer and be treated like a chess piece used by the master to hide the strength of the Seven Monsters.

Just as Chen Xuan expected, Yu Xiaogang asked five people to join the Shrek team and play as substitutes.

“Although your talents are far inferior to Xiao San and the others, you five are geniuses among your peers and are qualified to be substitutes for the Shrek team,” Yu Xiaogang said bluntly.

Although the master has remained at level 29 for decades, his horizons are very broad. These kids, at the age of fifteen or sixteen, are barely approaching level 40. They can only be described as mediocre with average talent.

In Yu Xiaogang's eyes, the Shrek Seven Devils are geniuses. It is an honor to have Chen Xuan, Tailong and others join them.

"Yes, Master."

The master's authority in the academy is second only to Liu Erlong, so naturally no one dared to refuse such a request. Although they were substitutes, Tailong and Jing Ling were very satisfied. After all, the opportunity was rare.

Chen Xuan did not refuse. Every advantage has its disadvantages. No matter how things develop in the future, they should be able to be resolved if they are handled with caution.

He has some plans and wants to lay the foundation for the future, so he needs the help of the Shrek team to enhance his fame.

In the future, before the battle of Jialing Pass, if he wants to join Tiandou or Wuhun Hall, he will have enough qualifications by then.

Of course, it's not that Shrek is not possible, other academies are also possible, but it's a bit difficult. The most important thing is that at this point in time, he is too lazy to go through the trouble of running around.

"Let's stay here for a while and see if the so-called Seven Monsters are easy to get along with and how talented they are." Chen Xuan said to himself.

At present, the start of the Continental Soul Master Competition is very close. He originally came from the former Blue Bully Academy and now has no extra time to join other academies, so he will be a substitute for the time being.

There is another reason. He is not famous and his martial spirit is a bit special, which may not be needed by other academies.

Yu Xiaogang nodded in satisfaction and said, "It's all right. You can go back first. Follow me to the back mountain tomorrow and I will introduce you to the current Shrek Seven Devils."

"Okay, Master, let's go back and practice first." Tailong scratched his head and showed an honest smile.

Jing Ling and Jiangzhu sister bowed to the three people before opening the door and leaving. Chen Xuan did nothing and followed behind them.

Liu Erlong and Flanders didn't think much of this behavior, but for Yu Xiaogang, who was always aloof and cared a lot about other people's attitudes, a hint of dissatisfaction arose in his heart.

Flanders pushed his reading glasses and looked at the information in his hand. He couldn't help but frowned and said, "Xiaogang, the four children you recommended are all good. Although Chen Xuan's soul power is as high as level 38, it's just that this martial soul..."

He did not continue speaking. The two people here could understand what he meant. Although Chen Xuan's soul power was not low, his martial soul was a bit weak.

"I don't know what Chen Xuan's martial soul is called. Its ability is to carve a series of complicated runes on items, which can help teammates switch positions and locate auxiliary soul masters." Liu Erlong said. She was originally the dean of this college and paid a lot of attention to the students in the advanced class.

Chen Xuan was one of those mediocre people. He was not very popular in the academy. He never fought or sparred with others. It was not known whether he was keeping a low profile or was afraid of causing trouble. She only found out in recent days that he had broken through to level 38.

Flanders looked at Chen Xuan's information and couldn't help shaking his head. He was the one who set the school rules of Shrek. The soul masters who were afraid to cause trouble were mediocre. Such people who were too afraid of trouble were not to his taste.

"This is exactly why I chose them. If all the Shrek Seven Devils play, there will be no pressure to pass the budget competition. Adding some people like Tai Long and Chen Xuan will balance it out, and the limits of Xiao San and the others can be pushed to the limit."

Yu Xiaogang put his hands behind his back, facing the window, leaving an unfathomable figure behind.
