(Ali's POV)
There were ten badges in total, 5 gold and 5 silver. 1 gold was for San'qe like the original and the other was for Zhuqing who had gotten a lot stronger thanks to me.
The others 3 gold badges were for me and my separated forms, so I also picked them up and nodded at the receptionist girl :"I will take these two to those two, so you don't need to worry."
She nodded as she didn't butt in with that sexy ass of hers. As we looked at our badges, Fatty's panicked voice pulled our attention to him :"too bad!"
"What is it?" Mubai asked him as we all looked at Fatty who answered :"Since boss Ali, sister in law and Brother San have gold soul badges, that means we're going to fight against a team with gold soul badge in the next group battle.
How could we compete with them? We just won Emperor Battle Team who is at silver level by a narrow margin."
But thankfully, the soul arena guy calmed down the panicking chicken :"Don't need to be worried.
There's no other team with gold soul badge at 30th in all Soul Arenas of Tian Dou Empire. Hence, your team is the strongest at this level."

As we walked back to the hotel that we were staying in, we heard laughter coming from a room. After taking a look inside, we saw dean Flender, teacher Zhao and senior Qin Ming inside sitting around a table.
Fatty being the ever hungry chicken that he is, quickly rushed inside as he came to dean Flender's side :"hehe, there's wine here! Master, we've won today. Shouldn't you give us a treat?"
But just as he reached out his hand to grab a drink, dean Flender smacked his hand with his chopsticks.
Qin Ming looked with surprise at him :"You? You're the flaming fatty in Shrek Ten Devils." Fatty smiled smugly as he put his hands on each side of his fat belly :"that's right. We were wearing masks before, so you can't recognize us."
Qin Ming nodded at us with a look of realization :"I know why you all wore masks now. You really surprised me.
I always thought Emperor Battle Team is gifted. But if you all are at the same age, they wouldn't have any chance to win before you."
Dai Mubai :"Senior, by any chance, may I ask what your soul power level is?"
Qin Ming :"Level 62. I'm quite lucky." everyone else was surprised at his statement. I have to say, he is quite gifted.
He can reach the level of a soul emperor at such a young age, so he must've worked really hard on top of having good talent.
Zhao Wuji :"Fine, stop flattering each other. Sit down, little monsters. Order your food as you wish. Today, your stingy dean will treat you."
The dean who was just about to take a sip from his drink smiled awkwardly as I laughed :"hahaha! Has the sun risen from the west today? Give me that! I've become really fucking hungry because of the martial soul fusion skill I performed today!"
Flender's face really started to twitch as my fox tail appeared as I grabbed the menu from teacher Zhao's hand.
Me and fatty looked at it at the same time as he signaled for the waiter to come and get our order.
As we looked at content of the menu, we both pointed at some option as we seemed to read each other's mind.
Ma Hongjun :"this, this, and this-"
Ali :"not this one. This one too. And this and that along with those."
Ma Hongjun :"yeah, yeah! Those as well!"
I noticed how Flender smiled as he noticed that we were ordering the cheapest foods in the menu :'hehehe, good. Worthy of being my disciple and a student of my school. He is truly letting me save money.'
But as me and Fatty smirked mischievously at each, I handed the menu to the waiter as Ma Hongjun spoke out what was on my mind :"Except what we have pointed out just now, bring me and boss Ali every dish on the menu."
The waiter was taken aback while bowing before I threw the menu for him to catch :"and two more kegs of high quality wine, please!"
Teacher Zhao laughed loudly as fatty lowered his head to dean Flender's height with mock ignorance :"master, what's wrong with you?
Why is there blue in your face? Didn't you sleep well last night?" His face was really twitching now.
And the poor guy couldn't even refuse since his old student was a guest today. But fortunately for him, that same student decided to save him.
Qin Ming rose from his seat and clasped his hands as we all chuckled :"How could I let Dean pay for it?
I finally come back after years. My teachers, please give me a chance to thank you for your teaching."
Gotta say, even dean Flender's eyes were smiling at his words. Teacher Zhao laughed :"Xiao Ming, you're still so thoughtful.
I wanted to see Frander buy them a marvelous meal." Flender's lips twitched as he looked at him awkwardly.
Qin Ming :"What a pity. If you aren't from Shrek, I'll try every possible means to recruit you into the imperial school. If with your presence, perhaps..."
But that ever disgusting voice was heard once again as he interrupted him :"Even though they're from Shrek School, you can still bring them to the imperial school."
San'qe quickly pulled back the chair for him to sit down, which he did before Flender looked at him :"Master, are you here to undercut me? They belong to Shrek School. Can't we give them the best education in Shrek?"
Qin Ming :"Master, what you meant was..."
Yu Xiaogang :"Mr. Qin, if I've not mistaken, Tian Dou Imperial School possess two seats to the pageant one year later, am I right?
I can allow them to join the pageant representing Tian Dou Imperial School." But dean Flender slammed his hand on the table :"No, I don't consent to it.
They belong to Shrek. Master, don't forget that I've put painstaking care into Shrek for two decades."
Yu Xiaogang :"Flender, I'll pose you several questions. If you can solve them, it doesn't matter whether these kids go to Tian Dou.
First, can you provide them with mimicry training environments? Second, can you provide the qualifications to enter the Continental Soul Master School Elite Tournament in one year?
Lastly, what's your intention when you established Shrek School?" Dean Flender was taken aback, especially at the last question :"I...!"
But he couldn't form any words, so he sat back down with a sigh as Yu Xiaogang continued :"Mimicry training environments will speed up their soul power cultivation.
Continental Soul Master School Elite Tournament only allow a qualified school to join after passing a preliminary competition.
Yet our school hasn't registered, so it isn't a qualified school. Your intention of establishing Shrek School was to cultivate genius soul masters.
What I've chosen for them is to make their paths smooth in every possible way. Moreover, I haven't finished talking.
To allow these kids to join Tian Dou Imperial School, I have one condition. The school must admit all teachers from Shrek and let us teach them personally. Tian Dou Imperial School is not allowed to interfere."
Qin Ming :"but Shrek School is the brainchild of Mr. Flender, I'm afraid that..."
Flender took a huge sip of his drink before he slammed it on the table with a sad mood :"All right, let's follow what Xiaogang said.
He's right. I shouldn't only consider my pride. Everything should be for the good of the kids. Shrek's teachers can also have a place to retire. it's a deal. You talk it over then. Xiaogang and Wuji will represent me."
He then started to walk away with a sad mood as we all watched him. Teacher Zhao looked at fatty before nodding towards the leaving dean Flender with a serious face.
Fatty followed after him while Yu Xiaogang opened his filthy mouth once again :"Although Flender is quite stubborn, he isn't an unreasonable person. I believe he'll think it through clearly."
I also looked at the leaving master and student as I decided to follow the poor guy. Talking with the stingy dean was far better than listening to this bitch.
As I walked faster and joined Fatty before nodding at him, we walked to see him looking at the moon with a glass of wine in his hand.
As we walked towards him, Fatty held out the Bottle of wine that he had brought with him :"master, don't feel sad."
He sighed as he looked at the moon before sparing us a glance :"I'm not sad, just frustrated, that's all.
All this came too fast for me. Don't try to convince me, I want to be alone." I sighed with frustration as I slapped his back :"for a stingy dean, you're really stupid sometimes."
He was taken aback as he glared at me :"what did you say, you brat? Why did you hit me?"
I rolled my eyes as I sighed at his stupidity :"listen, dumbass, we are the winners here. The only thing that these guys are getting is the fame.
But we can spread that fame ourselves too! Not only will we be able to join the Continental Soul Master School Elite Tournament, we are also gaining access to so many things!"
He had a look of realization before Ma Hongjun also added :"master, actually this is like borrowing a chicken to lay an egg. To be honest, I don't know why you're depressed."
Dean Flender then turned to us with a curious face :"Borrowing a chicken to lay an egg?" Fatty nodded as he opened the bottle and poured him a glass of wine.
Ma Hongjun :"yes, that's it. Borrowing that imperial school's facilities to train, and we help them fight as paying them a fee."
I sighed with frustration through gritted teeth as I pointed at fatty :"see? Even fatty here gets it with his stupidity."
He had a look of realization while fatty scratched his head :"Borrowing a chicken to lay an egg. That's great."
He grabbed the bottle from Fatty's hand and turned around :'Maybe I'm too stubborn. Why should I care about when it happens?
Shrek will end after all. But what we have done will never change. Xiaogang, thank you for helping me draw this end to Shrek.'
After I left the two master and disciple alone, I smirked as I walked into my room. As I entered my room, I smiled a demonic smile as I used my CS powers to summon a jade bottle! But the moment I summoned it, I didn't even dare to touch it as I backed up to the corner of the room and kept my distance from it.
The jade bottle was of course not the thing that I was afraid of, but the thing inside. You see, I liked douluo dalu a lot in my past life, so I read quite a few fanfics then.
In one of them, I particularly liked something that the author did to that son of a whore Yu Xiaogang. Because of the mc having a system, he got his hands on a liquid that would make a change in anybody's body.
And what was that change? Well, it was that anybody who drank from that liquid would get pregnant!
And that's exactly why I'm keeping my fucking distance from this fuckery. Since my powers are above that of a system, I can also just summon it.
Hehehehe, and so, I'm planning on having Yu Xiaogang drink some of this baby! I could've just made him pregnant myself with my CS powers, but that would require me to try to do it without fucking up his entire body.
And because of me being lazy, I decided to use this baby that I remembered to make him have a baby!
