Flender once said, its alright to be arrogant, but you must be able to back up your arrogance. Otherwise there's a problem with your brain. Yet, each and everyone of these young people, were unexpectedly unable to take a single blow. One must know, although their spirit power was very far from Dai Mubai's, they had the absolute numerical advantage. If they were to combine their powers and stand up to Dai Mubai's attack, they would at least be able to resist him. However, in front of them was an unexpected situation: none of them retaliated. They looked like deserters who threw away their helmet and ran away from a battle. There were even some crying for their mom and dad, completely lacking the appearance of Spirit Masters.
Flender faced Zhao Wuji and said,
"This is Heaven Dou Imperial Academy's students? They are all trash. I've already started to suspect coming here was a mistake."
Zhao Wuji smiled wryly,
"Don't ask me, how would I know? Last time the little monsters fought the Heaven Dou team, they weren't like this. It could be that there are trash in all places."
Even Grandmaster who had strongly advocated coming here, was lost for words at that moment.
"Alright, Mubai."
Flender called out to Dai Mubai. If they kept of fighting, it wouldn't be a beating anymore; there might be serious injuries.
Dai Mubai finally stopped fighting, demonic light flickering in his evil eye double pupils,
"Lets see who really gets lost"
"You-, you guys have the impertinence to cause trouble in our Heaven Dou Imperial Academy. This is a provocation to the empire. You just wait…You just wait."
Flender said in a cold voice,
"That's a fine accusation, too bad you're trash. Call out your Academy teachers."
At this moment, a bold voice was suddenly heard,
"What's going on here? Why is there so much noise?"
From the shady trail on hillside forest, a figure quickly appeared in a silver coloured tight suit and he appeared to be around the same age as Flender. His face was like a silver plate, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, both his hands behind his back. He seemed like an expert.
"Excellent. Teacher Sun has arrived."
The youth from before acted like he saw a saving grace, and he practically crawled over to welcome him.
"Teacher Sun, they actually dared cause trouble here. They even hit us. You must support us!"
Teacher Sun looked at the student in front of him as if at a stray dog. He couldn't help but wrinkle his eyebrows,
"Xue Beng, do you know what you look like right now?"
In front of strangers, he did not reprimand his student further as his gaze swept across Shrek Academy's party.
Teachers and students, after all, were not the same. When Teacher Sun made eye contact with Flender, his heart could not help but secretly tremble as he hurriedly advanced a few steps, faintly saluting
"If you please, this one is Sun Buyu, may I know what business you have with our Heaven Dou Imperial Academy?" He didn't even mention the fact that his students were beaten. When he stood there, an unflustered aura emanated from him.
As the man was being very courteous, Flender naturally wouldn't dwell on the earlier events as he calmly said,
"We are here to find Qin Ming. Earlier your noble institution's students said we were beggars, telling us to get lost. Thus we had a conflict."
"You are here to see teacher Qin?"
Sun Buyu was shocked as his heart moved,
"Could it be that everybody is from Balak Kingdom's Shrek Academy."
Flender nodded his head,
"It's true."
Sun Buyu was shocked as his expressions suddenly became extremely polite,
"Able to teach a talent like teacher Qin, I truly admire you. Regarding the situation just now, I apologize on behalf of Heaven Dou Imperial Academy. Everybody please enter."
He said as he extended an inviting gesture while glaring at those Heaven Dou Imperial Academy student as if to say he would deal with them later.
The Shrek Academy party, then followed this teacher Sun Buyu as he guided them along a mountain path, towards the school in the heart of the mountain.
Watching them gradually disappear in the distance, previously kicked flying by Dai Mubai, Xue Beng couldn't help but display a poisonous light in his eyes,
"Shrek Academy? What Shrek Academy, still haven't come to our Academy to work for food. Hmph, just wait. With me here, you won't want to stay."
"Your majesty, this isn't good."
The student next to him cautiously said.
"What isn't good? Even this empire is owned by my family. Let's go, I won't go to class today. I will first look for justice as royalty cannot take a beating. If we don't drive them away, I won't be able to rest easy."
Entering the middle of the mountain, one is finally able to understand the extent of Heaven Dou Imperial Academy. The stone steps used to climb the mountain were created by sculpting white marble as every stone step all had different designs of various spirit beasts; exquisite craftsmanship. The glow of the setting sun on the white marble left behind jagged shadows of dancing red trees, further adding a unique and tranquil feeling.
Breathing in this fresh air, it was as if everyone had walked into a botanical world. The one whose thoughts were stirred the most was Tang San. His Mysterious Heaven Skill's inner strength grasped onto his Blue Silver Grass aura. In this mountain range full of plants, it seemed to be extremely lively. This feeling was also felt when they entered Star Dou Great Forest, but not as obvious as now. Tang San knew that this was due to him breaking through the thirtieth level bottleneck.
After breaking through rank thirty, spirit masters would have an even more acute sense of energy when near things of the same attribute. Tang San's Blue Silver Grass spirit was a botanical spirit, thus, surrounded by this botanical world, his spirit power would naturally become much more sensitive.
Among the reasons why Grandmaster wanted to bring the Shrek Seven Devils, the most important one was because this advanced Spirit Master academy was built by the Heavenly Dou imperialfamily, thus all equipment here would naturally be the most outstanding. However, regarding spirit training methods, although external facilities weren't decisive, their assisting effect couldn't be ignored.
Among the most effective activities for a spirit master was mimicry cultivation for their attributes. So called mimicry cultivation, refers to letting Spirit Masters Cultivate their spirits in the most fitting environment. Although doing it this way would not use twice the effort for half the result, it was able to provide a considerable assisting effect.
For example, a forest or place full of plants would be the most suitable place for Tang San to cultivate, with his plant type spirit.Thus being in the kitchen of restaurant would fit Oscar, whose Spirit was food related. Additionally beast spirit masters according to their spirits have increased spirit cultivation effects when cultivating with similar animals. Specific bonus effects would be dependant on the Spirit master's own attribute. In summary, the stronger a spirit was in itself, the more potential he would have and in a mimicry environment, training would be even more beneficial.
Due to Shrek academy's conditions, it was only natural that cultivation in a mimicry environment was impossible. However, Heaven Dou Imperial Academy wasn't like this; The main reason why it occupied a large area and was built outside Heaven Dou City was the building of the mimicry environments. As a comprehensive Spirit Master advanced academy, they needed every kind of mimicry cultivation ground. Plant system spirit masters and food system spirit masters were still easy to handle, but various beast spirit master's mimicry cultivation ground would not be easy to build. Consequently, it was impossible to build a mimicry cultivation ground for every form of beast spirit masters. Despite this, inside Heaven Dou Imperial Academy there were still close to a hundred various types of mimicry cultivation grounds. Using the saying Heaven Dou Imperial Academy uses for enrolling students,, one would always be able to find one that fits him.
In the mountains, not only was the air fresh, but it was also extremely moist. A relaxing feeling came over the Shrek Academy party causing them to forget what happened earlier.
Sun Buyu obviously did not want to talk about those students, and on the way he gave the Shrek Academy party a presentation on the scenery.
"This Academy's main campus is situated halfway up the mountain. The mimicry regions are separated into the mountain top, all the places below the mountain, and the lakeside."
Grandmaster asked,
"Teacher Sun, how many students does Heaven Dou Imperial Academy have right now?"
Sun Buyu said,
"Approximately five hundred students, basically all from this Empire's as well as the subordinate kingdoms' nobility. There are more than fifty teachers, and their strength is sufficient, only…"
When he reached this point, he helplessly shook his head.
Everyone knew not to ask. As they were all Spirit Masters, this mountain path was nothing and they soon reached the middle of the mountain.
Heaven Dou Imperial Academy's main campus was consisted entirely of single story houses, and it gave off the feeling of a fortress. The surrounding courtyard walls were all 5 meters high. The walls were all bright yellow, making it look extremely pretty despite the top of the courtyard wall covering being a glazed roof tile. In the sunset, it was even more beautiful.
As soon as Tang San saw the buildings here, his heart could not help but contract a little as the building arrangement was so similar to Tang Sect's . Filled with all senses of nostalgia, for a long time he let couldn't control himself.
At this moment, the color of the sky had already started to darken, along with distant clouds in the sunset starting to fade away. Heaven Dou Imperial Academy was already brightly lit by lanterns.
Entering the school, there were actually no students to be seen, according to Sun Buyu, the majority of them were distributed among the various mimicry cultivation regions so the main campus consequently did not have any people. He then brought the Shrek Academy party directly into a parlor, letting everyone to wait a bit as he hurriedly ran off to find Qing Min.
"What do you think of this place?"
Flender asked his fellow teachers.
Sweet Pea Spirit Master Shao Xin smiled as he said,
"It's not bad, compared to my imagination, it's even better. I really do like the air here."
Zhao Wuji said,
"Grandmaster's proposal really wasn't bad. Although the students are a bit trash, retiring here isn't bad a bad option, Heaven Dou city is also very close. Everything is very convenient."
Flender laughed in spite of himself as he said,
"It seems that we really will retire here."
