The five of them drank heartily and chatted about everything under the sun, clearly all very excited.
Yang Xiong said, "Oscar, you really came back at the perfect time. Dean Flander is gathering all of us from Shrek for a get-together recently. He probably wants to reminisce about the days we studied in Soto City."
Oscar smiled, "I really miss those carefree days in Soto City. All I had to do was focus on cultivating, and I didn't have to worry about anything else."
"After traveling around the Douluo Continent, I've experienced too much. My thoughts aren't as carefree as they used to be."
Yang Xiong laughed, "People grow up, and they come into contact with the outside world. Perhaps this is the price of growing up."
Oscar nodded, "Fortunately, our progress over the years has been very good. We shouldn't disappoint the Dean."
"But now that the Dean is rebuilding Shrek Academy, I also want to see what this new Shrek Academy looks like. Will it be like the Shrek Academy we had in Soto City, only recruiting monsters?"
Yang Xiong smiled without speaking when he heard this. The foundation of Shrek Academy was the original Blue Tyrant Academy. Blue Tyrant Academy's strength was at the bottom of the Soul Master Competition. How could it possibly be like Soto City, full of geniuses with Innate Soul Power of level 7 or higher?
In the following days, Yang Xiong spent some time with his elder brother Yang Wei and Oscar at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. They chatted freely without any reservations.
Their father Yang Lin and mother Sun Yu were extremely happy. They were pleasantly surprised to see their elder brother Yang Wei, and when they saw the various injuries on his body, their mother Sun Yu almost cried.
Zhao Wuji was also very happy to see the three of them return. He felt an itch to give them some combat training, and even included Ning Rongrong.
The four of them also rubbed their fists and palms, readily agreeing. They clearly wanted to show off in front of Zhao Wuji, as they had been taught a harsh lesson by him back then.
Unfortunately, Zhao Wuji was much stronger than before. Five years ago, he was just a top Soul Saint, but now he was already an 87th-level Soul Douluo. He easily taught the four of them a lesson without much effort.
Oscar's performance was exceptionally stunning. His Sixth Soul Skill was indeed the Copy Mirror Sausage, just like in the original work. It was created using a drop of a Soul Master's blood, and after consuming it, one could possess the Soul Skills of the Soul Master who provided the blood with seventy percent of their power.
As a result, Oscar borrowed a drop of Qin Shuang's blood and actually transformed into a giant Vajra Bear. Suddenly, there were three Vajra Bears on the scene, which left Zhao Wuji stunned.
Ning Rongrong, who had been defeated on the side, showed a hint of unwillingness on her face, "Teacher Zhao, you're too much of a bully. Why didn't you let Little Xiongzi fight with us? With your strength, what's the difference between fighting four and fighting five?"
Zhao Wuji's face darkened, "What do you know, little girl? I've fought Little Xiongzi too many times. We already know each other inside and out. There's no point in fighting anymore. You're so stubborn, little girl. How about we keep fighting?"
Ning Rongrong was immediately speechless. Yang Xiong on the side couldn't help but rub his forehead.
Over the years, Yang Xiong had fought Zhao Wuji too many times. In terms of strength, Yang Xiong was already quite a bit higher than Zhao Wuji. Of course, without using Soul Bones, their combat power was very close, and it was impossible to determine a winner in the short term.
...
This morning, Zhao Wuji went to Heaven Dou City with Yang Xiong, Oscar, and Qin Shuang, planning to attend the Shrek five-year reunion.
Zhao Wuji also missed everyone very much, which was why he decided to go with them. In terms of friendship alone, Zhao Wuji also had a very good relationship with Dai Mubai.
Everyone arrived at the location of the gathering: Shrek Academy, which was the original Blue Tyrant Academy.
Compared to the Shrek Academy in the original work, which received financial support from the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, the current Shrek Academy was just an ordinary Advanced Soul Master Academy. It didn't cover a large area, and the students were relatively ordinary. After all, it was just an academy at the bottom, and there were quite a few such academies in the Heaven Dou Area.
After arriving at this unfamiliar academy, everyone was quite happy, especially Yang Xiong, Oscar, and Ning Rongrong.
The three of them were originally students of Shrek Academy in Soto City. Now that there was a brand new Shrek Academy, it felt a bit like a lifetime had passed.
Especially Dean Flander of Shrek Academy, who had always been deeply admired by everyone. Now that Flander's wish had been fulfilled, everyone was happy for him.
Flander was also extremely happy to see everyone. These people were the true core of Shrek back then, and they were also the old students of Shrek Academy. Especially since there were only a few students in the past, Dean Flander had put a lot of effort into them.
Seeing that everyone was developing well, Flander felt a bit of old-fashioned comfort, especially when he saw Oscar's current situation, which made his jaw drop in surprise.
One had to know that Oscar's cultivation speed was relatively slow, and he was also a food-type Soul Master, which was relatively difficult to cultivate. He didn't expect him to have reached the Soul Emperor realm in just five years. This was truly a boundless future.
Especially Oscar, who had followed Flander for a very long time and came from a commoner background, shared a very deep bond with him.
When Flander sensed Yang Xiong's soul power level, his face showed even more surprise. One had to know that during the Soul Master Competition, Yang Xiong had just reached level 40 and hadn't even absorbed a soul ring.
Now, after five years, Yang Xiong had actually reached level 69. This speed of improvement was truly a bit terrifying.
Compared to Flander's extreme happiness, Yu Xiaogang appeared quite indifferent. Everyone was just ordinary teachers and students; there wasn't much private interaction or other feelings between them.
Among the Shrek group, the first to arrive were surprisingly Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan. Both of them were also part of the original Shrek team, and especially since Yu Xiaogang was his uncle, Yu Tianheng naturally came to attend this gathering.
Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan both looked much more mature, especially Yu Tianheng, who appeared more composed and imposing. He was indeed worthy of being a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family.
Both of their soul powers had reached the Soul King realm, reaching level 55 and 56 respectively. It seemed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family truly valued these two.
Yu Xiaogang looked a bit happy seeing Yu Tianheng. After all, he was his nephew, and he had invested a lot of effort into him at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Seeing his nephew's growth, he rarely showed a hint of satisfaction.
Especially considering Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan's current cultivation speed, reaching the Soul Emperor realm before the age of thirty should not be a problem. This meant the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family would have successors.
Following closely behind, a very tall and stout man arrived at Shrek Academy.
"Dean, I've missed you so much."
Everyone exchanged glances, only then realizing this person was Ma Hongjun.
Flander, on the other hand, wore a look of disappointment: "Hongjun, why do you seem to have gotten fatter again? It's only been a little over a year since you graduated. Haven't you exercised at all this past year? You haven't gotten lazy, have you?"
Ma Hongjun said helplessly: "Dean, you know my situation. I've been working hard to cultivate my soul power recently, but unfortunately, I'm still easily affected by the evil fire."
Flander was filled with anguish: "The way you are now, you're at the bottom of everyone in Shrek. How did I ever let you graduate?"
Ma Hongjun seemed a bit hesitant. As Dean Flander's only disciple, Flander had placed high hopes on him.
Unfortunately, Ma Hongjun was relatively lazy, and he had the evil fire in his body. If he lost Flander's supervision and management, he would become a bit relaxed.
Currently, Ma Hongjun was only level 49. It seemed he was the only one among all the Shrek members who hadn't reached the Soul King level.
Of course, Ma Hongjun was also only nineteen years old now. To outsiders, he would definitely be a rare genius, but unfortunately, he didn't have the monstrous performance seen in the original work.
One had to know that among the Shrek Seven Devils in the original work, although Ma Hongjun's soul power was the lowest, in terms of pure explosive power, he might have been the strongest among the Shrek Seven Devils during that period.
Ma Hongjun looked a bit helpless: "Dean, how about I rejoin Shrek Academy? That way, I can also receive your guidance and supervision."
Flander directly rolled his eyes at Ma Hongjun: "You little rascal, I don't know what bad ideas you've come up with again. Are you trying to harm the students of my Shrek Academy?"
Ma Hongjun's eyes darted around, and he instantly had an idea: "Dean, I see that Shrek Academy currently has relatively few teachers and students. How about I just come back and be a teacher? That way, I can also work hard on my cultivation under your supervision."
Flander thought carefully for a moment, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "That's not a bad idea. Your current soul power level is barely enough to be a teacher, but your salary might be a bit lower than others, since you'll be both a teacher and a student."
Oscar and the others: ...
Yang Xiong was also speechless. Flander's personality hadn't changed; he was still as shrewd and calculating as ever, even wanting to fleece his own disciple.
While everyone was communicating, two more people arrived at Shrek Academy. These two were Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.
Dai Mubai was taller and more imposing than five years ago, with golden hair that looked exceptionally handsome. However, judging from his face, he looked much more weathered than he did back then, clearly having experienced many things in the soul master world.
Zhu Zhuqing was slightly taller than five years ago and also looked a bit more mature, and her figure was even more curvaceous.
Ning Rongrong quickly ran over and held Zhu Zhuqing's small hand: "Zhu Qing, it's been so many years, I've missed you so much. Where have you been all these years?"
Zhu Zhuqing appeared exceptionally gentle. "Rongrong, I've experienced quite a lot outside these past few years and seen a wider world. I had too few experiences before, and my horizons were too narrow."
Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes at Yang Xiong. "You guys are so free and easy. I'm so envious of you. I originally wanted to go out and train too, but Little Xiongzi ran off by himself and actually dared not to take me. And recently, there have been too many things in the Sect. Dad has been pulling me along to learn how to handle Sect affairs."
The two young girls were exceptionally close, whispering non-stop.
Dai Mubai also appeared more composed and serious. Every gesture exuded dominance and imposing presence.
Dai Mubai first bowed to Dean Flander and the others. "Dean, Teacher Zhao, it's been many years. I've finally returned."
Flander nodded with satisfaction. "Mubai, you've worked hard these past few years. I've seen your growth through all this training outside. You truly are a student of my Shrek."
After five years of training, Dai Mubai had now reached level 57, surprisingly one level higher than Yu Tianheng.
This was somewhat unexpected for Yang Xiong. It seemed Dai Mubai's talent was indeed outstanding, and the training over the years had certainly had an effect.
And Zhu Zhuqing had actually reached an astonishing level 53. One must know that among the Shrek Seven Monsters, Zhu Zhuqing had the lowest soul power and relatively the worst talent.
But Zhu Zhuqing was also the most diligent cultivator among all of Shrek's students. Achieving some results was not in vain of her years of hard work.
