The members of Shrek Academy had all their eyes on Qin Ming at this moment. The previous battle had left a deep impression on them.
If not for Yun Feng stepping in, it would have been an incredibly tough fight for them.
Now, finding out that the opposing team's instructor was their senior gave them mixed feelings—it was peculiar yet intriguing.
Flander turned to the Shrek students and said:
"Alright, you all should go and calculate your points now, and then hurry back. Zhao Wuji, Qin Ming, let's go."
The three of them left, leaving only the Shrek students behind. Ma Hongjun muttered under his breath:
"I didn't realize our Shrek Academy was so strong that even the elite of Heaven Dou Royal Academy couldn't beat us, haha!"
Hearing this, Dai Mubai knocked the fat one on the head.
"Strong? That was all Yun Feng's doing. If it were up to you, we'd have been trampled all over."
Fatty chuckled awkwardly, saying:
"Boss Dai, you can't say that. Master told us we're a team, and everyone contributed. I cheered them on!"
The group didn't know how to respond to that, particularly the girls, who rolled their eyes at his shamelessness.
"Some people's skin is thicker than city walls—truly indomitable!"
Fatty grinned sheepishly and quickly changed the subject:
"By the way, what kind of academy is this Heaven Dou Royal Academy that Senior Qin mentioned?"
Dai Mubai sighed, exasperated:
"Seriously, Fatty? You don't even know about Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"
Ma Hongjun scratched his head, replying:
"I really don't!"
Beside him, Xiao Wu nodded as well.
"I don't know either. Is it very famous?"
Seeing Xiao Wu's ignorance, Ning Rongrong explained:
"Famous doesn't even begin to cover it. Heaven Dou Royal Academy was established by the royal family of Heaven Dou Empire. Each of its principals has been a reigning emperor of Heaven Dou."
"Does that sound prestigious enough?"
"In the Heaven Dou Empire, it's the largest advanced spirit master academy with unparalleled facilities."
"If I hadn't been admitted to Shrek Academy, I might have gone there."
Dai Mubai added:
"Unfortunately, while Heaven Dou Royal Academy is impressive, its royal background creates limitations."
"Their first admission requirement is a noble title, which excludes many talented commoners."
"This exclusivity means that despite their excellent resources and faculty, the academy produces surprisingly few notable spirit masters."
No wonder the Royal Battle Team members had such formidable martial spirits—they hailed from such a renowned academy.
Oscar suddenly asked:
"Boss Dai, Yun Feng, how strong do you think Senior Qin Ming is now?"
Oscar chuckled, offering his own estimation:
"Judging by Senior Qin's age—he seems to be in his thirties—and considering his record of reaching level 30 at 14, two months earlier than Boss Dai, he's probably at least level 50 by now."
"To be over level 50 in his early thirties is incredible. No wonder he's a teacher at Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
Dai Mubai nodded in agreement. Yun Feng, however, shook his head.
"I don't think so. While reaching level 50 is impressive enough to teach at an advanced academy, remember that Senior Qin Ming is leading the Royal Battle Team."
"This position demands high status within Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Such status requires strength—likely near level 60, if not already there."
Fatty, feeling restless, urged:
"Alright, let's go! If we're so curious, we can just ask him later. No point guessing here."

The month-long soul battles were finally over. With the defeat of the Royal Battle Team, Yun Feng had secured an undefeated streak in team battles with 121 consecutive victories.
The Shrek team, too, had gone through numerous battles, and they were all curious about their accumulated points.
Points weren't the only thing on their minds—there was also the prize money.
Today, on the last day of the month, both would be distributed.
Before they could head to the points calculation area, Ao Supervisor approached them with an enthusiastic demeanor, inviting them to a VIP spirit master calculation center.
Ao Supervisor was all smiles—thanks to Yun Feng's victory over the Royal Battle Team, not only had the Soto Great Soul Arena avoided losses, but it had also profited immensely.
Naturally, they wanted to show their appreciation to these outstanding spirit masters.
Handing Yun Feng a black card, Ao Supervisor said:
"This is the 10,000 gold coins promised to your leader. This black card is universally accepted across the continent's banks and can be exchanged for the equivalent amount."
Without hesitation, Yun Feng pocketed the card.
"Supervisor Ao, could we calculate our points now? We're exhausted and want to rest soon."
"Of course, of course!" Ao Supervisor replied, signaling the staff to calculate the Shrek students' points from the past month.
Today's team battle had left an indelible impression on Ao Supervisor. He had already decided that next month, Yun Feng and his companions would receive special treatment, doing everything possible to win over these remarkable young talents.
The results were staggering. All Shrek members received Silver Soul badges, and their team reached Gold Soul level. Yun Feng's individual badge was elevated to Gold Soul, while their team badge soared to Purple-Gold!
Even Ao Supervisor was stunned. In his memory, no Iron Soul master had ever achieved such a leap in points within a single month.
Not just in Soto Great Soul Arena—this was likely unprecedented across the continent.
At this moment, Ma Hongjun exclaimed:
"This isn't good!"
Dai Mubai frowned.
"What's not good?"
"Now that we're Gold
Soul level, won't our future team battles be against other Gold Soul teams? How can we possibly win those?"
