Flender turned to Zhao Wuji, "Is this really the standard of students from Tiandou Royal Academy?"
"They're a bunch of trash. I'm starting to doubt if coming here was a mistake," he continued.
Zhao Wuji sighed. "Don't ask me, I don't know. The Royal Combat Team wasn't like this. Maybe every place has its flaws."
Even Yu Xiaogang, who had strongly advocated coming here, was at a loss for words.
"Alright, Mubai," Flender called to Dai Mubai. "If this keeps going, we'll go beyond just a fight. It'll get out of control."
Dai Mubai, hearing this, stopped and turned to the group of Tiandou students. "Let's see who's really the one who should be rolling."
"You... how dare you cause trouble here at Tiandou Royal Academy! This is a challenge to the Empire! You will regret this," one of the students shouted.
Flender scoffed. "Nice words, but you're still trash. Call your teachers out."
Yunfeng, Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing didn't know what to say when they heard Dai Mubai's words. Was this really a case of blaming them? Wasn't it just the truth?
Just as the tension rose, a strong voice suddenly rang out.
"What's going on? Why so much noise?"
A figure appeared rapidly down a shaded path.
Clad in silver battle gear, he looked to be around Flender's age, with a refined face, broad brows, and piercing eyes, hands behind his back, giving off an air of authority.
"Great, Teacher Sun is here!" The young man who had been leading the confrontation looked relieved, practically rushing over.
"Teacher Sun, they actually dared come here and cause trouble, even attacked us! You have to stand up for us!"
Teacher Sun glanced at his student, now in the state of a defeated dog, his brow furrowed.
"Xuebeng, what kind of behavior is this?"
He didn't scold the student harshly in front of everyone, but his gaze turned to the Shrek group.
Seeing the situation, Teacher Sun approached them, his demeanor shifting. He stepped forward and politely bowed.
"Greetings, everyone. I'm Sun Buyu. I'm not sure why you're here at Tiandou Academy. Please, tell me."
He didn't mention his students being attacked, but his calm, composed aura showed that he was measuring the situation, trying to gauge who was in front of him.
Flender, who wasn't exactly great at social finesse, jumped in immediately.
"We came to see Teacher Qin. Your students just called us beggars and told us to leave, which led to this conflict."
"You came to see Teacher Qin?" Sun Buyu's expression changed subtly, then he quickly suppressed it.
After all, Qin Ming's reputation was something to be respected, and his face couldn't be ignored.
Realizing this, Sun Buyu softened, "I see. Are you from Shrek Academy in Barak Kingdom?"
Flender nodded. "That's right."
Sun Buyu's face showed a bit more sincerity. "I greatly respect Teacher Qin for producing such a talented individual. I apologize for the earlier incident. Please, follow me."
He gestured for them to come, giving his students a sharp look, as if to say, "I'll deal with you later."
Xuebeng, the royal prince, wasn't happy about this. His face twisted with anger.
"Teacher Sun, what's this supposed to mean? We were attacked right at the academy gate! And I'm a prince of Tiandou Empire. You're just going to let this slide?"
"And you're just believing whatever they say? Did you create this academy or not?"
His words were sharp, and it immediately shifted the tone in the group. Sun Buyu and everyone else's expressions turned grim.
Initially, Sun Buyu had believed Flender and his group, but after Xuebeng's outburst, doubts crept in. If this issue reached the higher-ups, it could turn problematic.
Flender and the others were visibly uncomfortable as well, as the accusation of attacking a prince wasn't something to take lightly. An attack on royal blood was a serious offense.
After a moment of hesitation, Sun Buyu spoke again.
"Prince Xuebeng, I'll investigate this matter thoroughly, and I will report it to the Education Department. You have my word."
Then, turning back to the Shrek group, Sun Buyu addressed them, "It's getting late. Please, follow me."
Under Sun Buyu's leadership, the group finally ascended towards the academy's campus.
As they moved further into the academy grounds, Xuebeng, who had been kicked by Dai Mubai earlier, looked on with resentment.
"Shrek Academy? They're just here to eat at our table."
"Heh, just wait. As long as I'm here, they'll never stay."
"Your Highness, this may not be a good idea," one of his students cautiously spoke up.
"What's wrong with that? The Empire belongs to our family. Let's go. I'm skipping class today to seek justice. I won't let them get away with this."
Entering deeper into the mountains, the beauty of Tiandou Royal Academy began to reveal itself. The marble stone steps were carved with intricate soul beast patterns, and the craftsmanship was superb.
As the sun set, casting a soft red hue over the stone steps and the trees, the whole area seemed like a serene paradise.
Breathing in the fresh air, the group felt as if they had entered a world filled with plants.
Tang San, in particular, felt the connection between his martial soul, the Blue Silver Grass, and the surrounding flora. His martial soul was more active here than in any other place, a unique sensation he had only experienced once before in the Star Dou Forest.
Yu Xiaogang had brought the Shrek Seven to Tiandou Royal Academy for many reasons, but one of the key factors was the academy's top-notch facilities.
For soul masters, external factors like this were not decisive but still played a significant role in their training.
The most beneficial aspect was the different environmental simulation training grounds, which allowed soul masters to train in the ideal surroundings for their martial souls.
Although it wasn't an overwhelming advantage, it could significantly aid their growth.
