Chapter 63: Back and Forth

Chapter 63: Back and Forth

As the teachers of the Heaven and War College arrived, the atmosphere at the college gate became tense.

Two Douluos, two Soul Saints, and eight Soul Emperors stood united at the entrance.

Behind them were hundreds of well-equipped soldiers, a significant number of whom were Soul Masters.

This was the might that the Heaven and War College could assemble in a short time; their military might alone was enough to crush most colleges, let alone their top-tier power.

In addition to the internal affairs of the Heaven and War College, several Soul Kings and Soul Lords appeared outside the college at this moment.

These individuals were responsible for maintaining order in the shops surrounding the college, and most of them had a military background.

To understand the true extent of the Heaven and War College's influence, one would need to ask about Xue Qinghe's connections, cultivated with the help of Wang Si, that were strong enough to secure the position of crown prince.

It was true that Xue Qinghe had left the Heaven Dou Empire, but those connections had translated into bags of gold coins or talented individuals joining his ranks.

Such a display immediately shocked Shrek and the others.

Aside from the two Douluos, the two Soul Saints, who seemed to have a military background, were more than what Flander and Zhao Wuji could handle.

Surrounded by so many Soul Emperors, Soul Kings, and Soul Lords, the situation seemed dire!

Crucially, Flander also recognized two familiar faces among the Soul Emperors: Li Yushong and Lu Qibin!

Both of them used to be teachers at Shrek Academy, and now they had chosen to stand against their former colleagues.

"Who dares to cause trouble during the students' class and disturb so many teachers?"

A cheerful voice rang out in the sky above the college, causing Flander and Zhao Wuji to look up instinctively.

Then, Flander witnessed a scene that made his eyelids twitch uncontrollably.

The two Douluos in the air moved aside, and two similar figures slowly appeared.

The two figures were very young and did not seem to have reached the Soul Saint level, which would allow them to fly.

However, a flight-type martial soul could achieve this.

Both of them had a pair of wings.

Behind one was a pair of fiery wings that emitted scorching flames, causing the surrounding air to distort from the heat.

The other had wings that emitted a gentle, sacred light, and sacred feathers drifted down from them.

With the eyesight of a Soul Saint, one could clearly see the faces of the two in the air.

The former was Wang Si, the lord of the Heaven and War Duchy and the principal of the Heaven and War College.

The latter was Xue Qinghe, the first prince of the Heaven Dou Empire and the vice-principal of the Heaven and War College.

Seeing their high-profile appearance, Flander's heart sank, knowing that it would be difficult to resolve the situation peacefully today.

Wang Si took the lead and descended from the sky, followed by Xue Qinghe, the two Douluos, and the other teachers.

"Principal Flander, we met just a month ago. Do you think I'm here to steal your students, so you've come to pick a fight?" Wang Si asked rhetorically, then examined the group behind Flander with interest and nodded to himself.

"You've brought everyone, so it seems you really are here to cause trouble."

Hearing Wang Si's baseless accusation, Yu Xiaogang frowned and stepped out from behind Flander.

"We meant no harm. Our purpose for coming here is to bring our students to join the Heaven and War College. We hope you will put away this hostile attitude."

Seeing the two Douluos behind Wang Si, Yu Xiaogang wouldn't have had the courage to say such words if he hadn't known that there were three Soul Saints standing behind him.

"You there... You're not a teacher at Shrek, are you? I don't remember seeing you there.

Can anyone introduce this person to me?"

Wang Si smiled and looked at the others from Shrek, finally fixing his gaze on Tang San.

In an instant, Tang San felt several gazes focus on him.

The immense pressure made his hair stand on end, but he still stepped forward, enduring the pressure.

"Principal, this is the teacher I mentioned to you before, the continent's undisputed master in theory, Master Yu Xiaogang.

Our intention to come here is truly to join the Heaven and War College, and we mean no offense."

After quickly explaining the situation, Tang San was already drenched in sweat due to the oppressive pressure emanating from Wang Si and the others.

As his student finished speaking, Yu Xiaogang pulled him back behind him.

"That's right. Our purpose in coming here is to join your esteemed college, and we have no other intentions."

When he said "join your esteemed college," Yu Xiaogang even straightened his back stubbornly.

"So you say you're here to join the Heaven and War College, and that's why you're here?"

"We didn't intend to cause trouble," Yu Xiaogang said, his forehead glistening with sweat from the intense heat. "It's just that your guards at the entrance were overly aggressive. We genuinely want to join your esteemed college, but your escorts have been making things difficult for us!"

Hearing this reason, Wang Si couldn't help but laugh out loud. He pointed directly at Tang San, who was standing next to Yu Xiaogang. "You, didn't I tell you that after the official start of the school year, the college would be under closed management, and anyone who wants to enter must have the admission notice I gave you? Did you not convey this to your teacher here?"

Before Tang San could explain, Yu Xiaogang interrupted with a derisive laugh. "Closed management? You employ closed management for a Soul Master academy?"

Wang Si noticed Yu Xiaogang's subtle gesture and understood his implication—that Tang San had indeed informed him about needing the admission notice.

Yu Xiaogang was now trying to save face in front of his student by diverting the topic, making it seem like Tang San's misunderstanding rather than his own.

"I've lost interest in your intentions," Wang Si said, wiping away the tears that had formed from his hearty laugh. He no longer bothered to hide his amusement and instead held out his hand to Yu Xiaogang. "If you want to join our college, that's fine. But I initially gave him the admission notice because I considered him a student of our college. Now that he's one of your Shrek Academy students, please return our college's admission notice. If such a notice, which allows free entry into our college, falls into the wrong hands, it could pose a significant threat to the safety of our students."

Yu Xiaogang felt a twinge of annoyance at Wang Si's blunt words, but then he realized something. Holding the admission notice meant the opportunity to become a student of the Heaven and War College? Why hadn't his student, Tang San, mentioned this to him?

Sensing Tang San tugging at his clothes, Yu Xiaogang immediately handed over the notice without hesitation. If Tang San were to declare his intention to join the Heaven and War College now, Shrek Academy would become a laughingstock!

Tang San had been about to remind his teacher that he could submit the notice and express his willingness to stay at Shrek. But seeing how quickly his teacher handed over the notice, he swallowed his words.

"What a waste… for this child…"

Tang San faintly heard a sigh and looked around for its source. He could only tell that it came from one of the powerful individuals from the Heaven and War College…
