Shrek Academy opened after 15 days. Today was an important day for the Academy, First group of students are going to graduate from it. It was the same group whose names now resounded throughout the continent. Be it for their background or their formidable strength and winning the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament. They all were very talented youths. The Academy staff and students are gathered in the front of Academy building. There are various guests of high status were sitting there. Including Emperor and Crown Prince of Heaven Dou Empire, Ning Frengzhi with both Sword Doulou and Bone Douluo and Tang Hao with Ah Yin. They all gathered here to see the youths that brought honor to their families and Heaven Dou Empire. They all were sitting on stage prepared for graduation Ceremony while others were standing in front of the stage.

Flander, Zhao Wujii, Liu Er long and Grandmaster were also sitting on the stage. It was a very emotional moment for these teachers as none of them have kids and these students were their own children in their eyes. They have personally seen how hard these children cultivated, The children have bled, bruised and still never given up. These children are all strong not only because of the talent but all the hard work they put behind it. They never slacked even after taking pills but they doubled the hard work after taking pills. These Children were their pride, just listening to someone talk about them makes their c.h.e.s.t puffed in pride.

Flander stood up and addressed the crowd in front of him and said: " Today we all gathered for the graduation of Students that participated in Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament and won the tournament, that victory has brought so much prestige for our academy." Students started cheering hearing this, Flander raised his hands after a while to calm down the crowd and said: "Let me tell you, These students didn't win the tournament just because of their talent but there was a lot of hard work behind it. Talent can only take you far only if you put hard work behind it. Let us welcome the students that I was talking about."

In between the loud cheering of the crowd Dai Mubai, Oscar, Tang Chen, Tang San, Ma Hongjun, Xiao Wu, Rongrong and Zhuqing entered the stage. The crowd was going ballistic seeing the group. Flander Turn towards the group and said: "Children this might be your last day in this academy as students, but you are always welcome here. This Academy will always be your home. Now, why don't you introduce yourself to the juniors before you? They know of you but hearing from you will be better."

Dai Mubai nodded his head, stepped forward and said: " Dai Mubai, Rank 52, Spirit: Devilgod Evil Eyed Tiger, power attack battle spirit Master." He then released his spirit rings. Other followed the suit.

Oscar Said: "Oscar, Rank 52, Spirit: Sausage, Food type Support system spirit master."

Xiao Wu said: "Xiao Wu, Rank 51, Spirit: Softbone Rabbit Empress, Agility type spirit master."

Zhuqing said: "Zhu Zhuqing, Rank 51, Spirit: Hell Tigress, Agility type spirit master."

Crowd was cheering loudly with each introduction and spirit rings release. They knew about it but seeing it in front of them was something else. It was all preplanned, Flander asked them to introduce themselves in such a manner, to motivate the rest of students further. There is respect and pride in the eyes of people present there for them. Even the Emperor has a hint of respect for them in his eyes.

Grandmaster suddenly stood up and said: " Quiet down, the strength of academy is not represented by how formidable its teachers or its already graduated students are but on the strength of its current students. So, it's on you all whether or not you can keep up. These eight students will graduate as of today but its all on you whether you can win next tournament? Now that our Academy is famous you have a bigger burden to carry." The crowd calmed down hearing this. There was a burning spirit in their eyes. This little speech has ignited the fire inside them. Flander looked at them and nodded.

The ceremony proceeds, each graduating student got a certificate either from teachers or guests present. Emperor and Ning Frengzhi said some encouraging speech in front of the crowd and praised the teaching abilities of Shrek Academy to produce such formidable students. The ceremony went for 2 hours after that whole crowd dispersed.

Shrek eight graduated students have already prepared their bags last night to leave the academy. They went to the cafeteria with teachers and enjoyed their last meals before leaving the academy.

At noon everyone gathered around the gate of Academy, there were tears in the eyes of everyone present. They hugged each other. Teachers also weren't able to keep their calm after getting hugged by students. They once again told the students that Shrek will always be their home, but this is a crucial juncture for the students and they have to let them go so they all can become independent and m.a.t.u.r.e.

After a while, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing said their farewell to the group and left in the wagon for Star Dou Empire. Ning Frengzhi and bone douluo came to pick Rongrong after that, Rongrong left after saying her farewell to rest and kissing Tang Chen. Ma Hongjun left for Tang Sect, Tang Chen Told him that he will pick him after a few days as he has some urgent things to take care of. Oscar also left them to go to the extreme north.

Tang Brothers and Xiao Wu were only one left. Tang Chen told his parents about going to star dou forest with Xiao Wu to look for her mother, They agreed but Ah Yin decided to come with them. The group of four went towards the direction of Star Dou Forest.
