[Chapter 30: The Strong Rule Over Weak]
The teaching method of Liyue Academy truly surprised Huo Yuhao, Bei Bei, and Tang Ya.
Do you want to learn or not?
After Wu Yun left, many figures emerged from the classroom.
There were elderly individuals in their seventies and eighties, middle-aged people in their forties and fifties, and young adults in their twenties and thirties... Except for children of a few years old, there were people from almost every age group under a hundred.
A small number of those who came here had encountered confusion in their cultivation and sought the "teacher's" advice specifically.
However, the majority came to listen in order to minimize potential difficulties in their future cultivation, as well as to broaden their horizons and gain more knowledge.
You must understand the person who was teaching martial soul cultivation here is Titled Douluo!
Even if the cultivation methods of this Titled Douluo are not suitable for everyone, they can still serve as valuable lessons for others.
Suddenly, Huo Yuhao seemed to notice something, and a look of surprise flashed across his face.
"Hey~ Isn't that Wang Dong? Why is he here?"
He had actually spotted his roommate from Shrek Academy!
The two had just had a fight, and before they could even spend a night together in the dormitory, that incident had occurred.
It would be a stretch to call them roommates.
"Yuhao, did you see someone you know?"
Huo Yuhao's voice was not loud, but Bei Bei could hear it clearly.
"Big Brother, I saw my roommate from Shrek Academy."
Bei Bei: "…"
Although it was a bit awkward, Shrek Academy was indeed in trouble this time.
Shrek Academy could lose. There was nothing shameful about losing to a strong opponent.
But even Bei Bei frowned when he saw what Master Xuan and the others had done.
Suddenly, Bei Bei seemed to notice something, and his eyes twitched.
"I... I also saw someone I know..."
Huo Yuhao: "…"
It seemed that not only had they left Shrek, but more students had chosen to depart from Shrek Academy.
Having not attended a single class, Huo Yuhao naturally did not have strong feelings for Shrek Academy, and he did not mind leaving.
He simply felt it was a bit of a pity, as it was the number one academy on the continent.
At this moment, the receptionist asked, "The three of you, this is how teaching is conducted at the academy. There aren't many rules or regulations. You can study if you wish."
"If you three do not wish to settle in Liyue, you can come here to attend the lectures, but you will need to find a way to cover your food and accommodation. Liyue will not provide for these expenses."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao and the other two exchanged glances, and Tang Ya spoke up, "We are willing to settle in Liyue."
Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei also nodded but did not say much.
After all, they could leave here at any time. Leaving would simply mean giving up the house.
There was no loss.
What was wrong with settling down temporarily?
"Alright, please follow me to fill out the forms. Once Master Yu Heng approves, the three of you will become residents of Liyue."
"If you do not wish to settle in Liyue, you can also inform us in advance, and we will reclaim your house and your resident status."
The receptionist said with a smile.
"I have a question. Could you answer it, Miss?"
At this moment, Bei Bei spoke with a serious expression.
"I don't know what the question is, but if I know the answer, I will let you know."
"Who are the Seven Stars of Liyue? And the Master Yu Heng you just mentioned?"
The receptionist was momentarily stunned but did not hide anything and replied directly, "The Liyue Seven Stars are seven individuals selected by the Lord Martial God from among the wealthy merchants. They are responsible for the construction and development of Liyue."
"As for Lord Yu Heng, he is one of the Seven Stars of Liyue and is in charge of matters such as land changes and house construction in Liyue."
This is not a secret. Anyone could find out by simply asking, so there was no harm in telling them.
"That's it?"
He thought the Liyue Seven Stars were shrouded in mystery, but it turns out they are just seven wealthy businessmen?
Martial God, Zhongli, appointed seven wealthy businessmen to manage Liyue?
Bei Bei felt his head filled with question marks, utterly confused.
Not only was Bei Bei confused about this, but even the Liyue Seven Stars themselves were baffled at the beginning.
The strong rule over the weak, this is an eternal truth.
As wealthy businessmen, they had wealth but lacked strength.
Yet Zhongli defied this common sense and directly appointed seven wealthy businessmen with little cultivation as the Seven Stars of Liyue.
Under normal circumstances, shouldn't the Seven Stars of Liyue be seven Titled Douluo?
How did they end up as seven wealthy businessmen?
"Any questions?"
"If there are no issues, please fill out the forms."
"There have been too many people applying to become Liyue residents recently. If we delay..."
The receptionist didn't finish her sentence, believing the three of them would understand.
Bei Bei, Huo Yuhao, and Tang Ya didn't dare to hesitate and quickly filled out the information, handing it to the receptionist.
The form only asked for basic details like name, age, and whether the person was a soul master, without delving into too many personal secrets.
"Come with me. If everything goes smoothly, I'll take you to see the house later."
Huo Yuhao and the other two followed the receptionist once again, heading toward the Land registration office.
Not far away, a pink-haired boy frowned as he watched Huo Yuhao's retreating figure.
"This guy is here too?"
Originally, Wang Dong had no plans to change academies, as she felt an inexplicable connection to Shrek Academy.
But for some reason, a voice in her mind kept urging her to come to Liyue, suggesting that this might be her true home.
She had tried to ignore it, but the voice grew more insistent, compelling Wang Dong to visit Liyue and see for herself.
To her surprise, Liyue was far better than she had imagined!
Not only was housing free, but education was also free, with professional teachers providing guidance.
If you were from a poor family, you could even apply for subsidies!
Of course, there were no poor people in Liyue at the moment, as the first wave of arrivals were all merchants, including many wealthy businessmen from the Douluo Continent!
"That's all. It was just a brief encounter and a fight."
Wang Dong shook her head and stopped looking at Huo Yuhao's retreating figure. She turned and walked toward her residence.
She had also chosen to settle in Liyue, and with her talent, securing a house had been easy.
A moment later, they arrived at the Liyue Land Registration Office.
"Hmm~ Tang Ya, Blue Silver Grass martial spirit, orphan, spirit master..."
"Huo Yuhao, Spirit Eyes, martial spirit, orphan, spirit master..."
"Bei Bei, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial spirit, orphan... wait, Bei Bei, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon?"
Yu Heng, a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses and a gentle demeanor, adjusted his glasses and looked at Bei Bei again.
Good heavens, a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon?
Although he wasn't a soul master, he had heard of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial spirit.
He had also heard of Bei Bei, one of the twin stars of Shrek's outer courtyard, Bei Bei.
"Xiao He, bring me two hundred gold soul coins."
Yu Heng waved to a staff member and instructed.
The staff member didn't question his request and promptly placed two hundred gold soul coins on the desk.
"Tang Ya, Huo Yuhao, these are the gold soul coins I personally sponsor for you, one hundred for each. I hope you can study hard and contribute to Liyue in the future."
