Now is the battle against the Royal team, which has a member of the [Blue Lighting Tyrant Dragon] clan, and a granddaughter of Dugu Bo the Poison Douluo. They are a pretty talented and balanced team, some may even argue that they could easily fit the position for Shrek seven monsters if they were born some years later.
As there are some pretty high stakes right now, and probably more than twelve bets from the Shrek academy alone. Grandmaster decided 'f.u.c.k limitations' and put our strongest composition to fight, it was Tang San, Zu Ling, Min Ren, Rong Rong, Xiao Wu, Mubai.
The absolutely WRECKED the Royal team, there wasn't a slight doubt for even a minute, with Zu Ling and Mubai in the front line, Min Ren using his discovered speed superiority to f.u.c.k over the enemy team, Tang San in the middle with his [Blue Silver Grass] and impressive martial arts skills, Xiao Wu sheer experience and Ron Rong buffs. The Royal team was absolutely CRUSHED.
I almost felt pity for them on how easily they had been defeated. But for some irony Dugu Yan was able to release a copious amount of poison that had absolutely no effect on Tang San, that shit was way more surprising and scary than in canon, principally if we go by her face. Dugu Bo is definitely gonna kidnap Tang San this time arround.
The royal team didn't take the crushing defeat well, but it was kinda understandable as they literally had that genius arrogance imprinted into them, thankfully we were able to rub it off from the Shrek students when they fought again the [Titan Giant Great Ape], and the plethora of loses they suffered also helped.
Grandmaster also had the brilliant idea of going to the royal academy, but I could distinctly tell that he had some ulterior motives in doing so. Perhaps he wants to show the ugliness of noble society to our dear students, and while he possibly couldn't predict the future events, with his intelligence he could take some educated guesses.
I am also quite happy that he would be able to reunite with his love Liu Erlong, and with his renewed courage I guess their reencounter would be smoother. And the fact that the grandmaster is close to rank 50 is also a pretty good sign, after Tang San returns from Dugu Bo garden he would probably be already there.
During all this time the kids were training and doing other stuff I wasn't idle, I spent a lot of time making my divine weapon while also expanding my chakra reserves, and I was finally able to reach rank 95 and become a Super Douluo. It was kinda strange having my chakra double yet again, it is always a novelty just try to grasp the sheer quantity of the stuff I have, it's simply mind-boggling.
I also talked with Alless and she said she will try to make her halberd/staff martial soul into her divine weapon... That sounded absolutely crazy the first time she said it, but after some theories and explanations I think it would work quite well for her, it literally the most compatible the weapon could be, it's her martial soul after all.
After the Shrek staff met with the old graduated student and had some heartfelt moments it was time to pack our things and go towards the Royal academy.
The way to the Royal Academy was calm and serene, there was a lingering expectation in the air about the new place, expectations about 'resources' and the new people they would meet. These expectations are not necessarily wrong, but they are not right either, I do really know what will happen after all.
We soon reached the academy and Rong Rong proceeded to guide everyone until we encountered the arrogant young masters. Things proceed as you would've expected them, but you could clearly see that some of the kids were holding themselves to not burst out laughing.
Then we went to meet the elders and they proceed to test Tang San. Tang San was making everyone proud easily resisting most of the pressure. Sadly things were interrupted by Dugu Bo and the young master. The young master proceeded to make some kind of speech about how much evil we are, how we are tarnishing his reputation, and how with his authority as a prince he expelled us before we even joined the academy properly.
The elders of the academy were kinda sad of about losing a talent like Tang San but liking it or not the shitface young master was the prince. All this time Dugu Bo was looking at Tang Sang with a puzzlement face like he was trying to solve some kind of mystery. It's actually quite funny how everyone else ignores me and Allessa just because they couldn't feel our cultivation, because come on, anyone who looks at our appearance deep enough could tell we are strong, Allessa is an Elf for f.u.c.ks sake, she literally has shining eyes.
When we were going outside Dugu bo just straight out kidnaped Tang San, for the kids they simply blinked, and both Dugu Bo and Tang San were gone. the kids Started panicking and me being me diffused the situation in the most sensible manner.
"He is okay, it's just a kidnapping."(Aizen).
This of course only served to cause even more distress among the kids.
"Don't worry, I know where he is and what he is doing. When he finishes training there I will rescue him, you could rest assured that he is okay."(Aizen).
Even me not being the most liked teacher so the level of confidence wasn't that high they could tell I was telling the truth, which I said even helped alleviate some of the worries from the staff. We soon went to Lie Erlogn academy, or more accurately future Shrek academy.
I decided to simply make grandmaster a favor and tossed him on her side, the others looked at me with surprise and shock.
"What? He needed some help with his romantic matters."(Aizen).
The others looked at me in some form of weirdness and surprise, only Flander nodded in approval for my behavior. He probably wanted to do something similar to himself but was a little bit conflicted in doing so.
The good thing is that the grandmaster was way more prepared this time around so the people of the academy were already expecting us, it was nice not having to pass through the examination troupe, but I am quite sad I missed the opportunity of causing heart attacks on people by the fact that I am rank 95.
