Xu Fan’s words matched reality exactly.
The time.
The place.
The people.
The conflict.
Everything had unfolded precisely as he described.
Xu Fan truly was someone who had been reborn.
He knew the past—and even the future.
The shock of this realization far surpassed merely witnessing Dai Mubai fighting and causing trouble here.
It meant that everything Xu Fan had written before was completely true.
A powerful emotion surged up in Zhu Zhuqing’s heart.
Hope.
If I can find Xu Fan… then he can help me change my destiny.
Deep down, she knew the truth.
No matter how desperately she wanted to change her fate through her own efforts, she simply didn’t have the strength to do so in this lifetime.
But now, hope was right in front of her—and she had to seize it.
Even if it meant relying on someone else, she had to break free from the Star Luo Empire.
Not returning was impossible.
Her family was still in Star Luo City.
Fortunately, according to fate, she and Xu Fan were destined to become a couple—even if he was a bit of a jerk.
Still, that was far better than someone like Dai Mubai, who played with women and discarded them without a second thought.
Her gaze swept across the hotel once more.
Not far behind Dai Mubai stood two twin girls dressed in revealing clothes.
The heavy aura of worldliness clinging to them was impossible to ignore.
A strong wave of nausea rose in her chest.
Disgusting tiger.
As expected, his decadent and dissolute nature had never changed.
Even while in exile, he continued indulging himself—wine in one hand, women on both sides.
People who live only for themselves have no future.
Even looking at him for another second made her feel sick.
[Speaking of Tang San and Xiao Wu, the next thing to mention is Shrek Academy—the place they’re heading to.]
Shrek Academy was nothing more than a shameless money-grabbing scam.
Enrollment alone cost ten gold spirit coins, and worse still, there were no refunds if you failed.
On top of that, their requirements were absurdly high—twelve-year-olds were expected to reach Rank 25 in spirit power.
[An academy that isn’t even qualified to participate in the Spirit Master Tournament dares to set such conditions.
It’s nothing but a gimmick to deceive naive Spirit Master applicants.]
The headmaster of Shrek Academy was Flender, one of the Golden Triangle’s members, nicknamed the Flying Horn. Find the original chapter at g.com.
He was notoriously greedy.
The academy had very few teachers, and while they were all Spirit Emperors, the Spirit Saints were old fossils with absolutely no teaching ability.
[It’s said that Shrek Academy once enrolled over forty students, yet only a little more than ten graduated.
As for the rest?
They either died or became crippled wastes.]
The most talented student Shrek Academy ever had was Qin Ming, who was now a teacher at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.
He was indeed gifted—but Shrek Academy held him back.
A genius like him didn’t even possess a top-tier spirit ring.
He would have been far better off trained at a proper academy.
[So it wasn’t that Shrek Academy cultivated Qin Ming—it was simply that Qin Ming himself was exceptional.]
Shrek Academy’s training methods were equally ridiculous.
They made students run while carrying stones on their backs.
Did that even help?
Rongrong told me she was completely exhausted when she first tried it.
I’m speechless.
For support-type Spirit Masters, ensuring personal safety is important—but how much improvement could this kind of training really bring?
[The benefits are minimal, and it’s easy to permanently damage the body.]
Ning Rongrong was stunned.
“How could I possibly go to such a trash academy?!”
“But… Rongrong?
Is he calling my name?” She rubbed her nose, her pretty face flushing faintly.
“That sounds so intimate…”
At Blue Tyrant Academy.
Liu Erlong frowned slightly.
“Boss Fu, isn’t this going too far?”
“If you don’t know how to teach students, then don’t deceive them.
Being greedy to this extent is unbelievable.”
You could call Liu Erlong violent—but you couldn’t say she was an irresponsible dean.
At least before Shrek Academy arrived, the students of Blue Tyrant Academy lived fairly comfortably.
Moreover, it was a legitimate academy with the qualifications to participate in the Spirit Master Tournament.
[With Tang San and Xiao Wu’s talent, they should never have gone to a trash academy like Shrek.
At the very least, they belonged in Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.
But what choice did they have when Tang San’s teacher was Yu Xiaogang?]
[The so-called legendary Grandmaster—Yu Xiaogang.] Find the original chapter at g.com.
[As the “wise wing” of the Golden Triangle, Yu Xiaogang naturally wanted to bring his student to his close friend’s side.]
[Yu Xiaogang is a very complicated person, but in my opinion, he’s nothing more than a complete fraud.]
[He deceived many people throughout his life—including Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong, Liu Erlong, the director of Blue Tyrant Academy, and even Tang San himself, whom he tricked into becoming his accomplice.]
Inside Spirit Hall.
Ling Yuan and Hu Liena cautiously glanced at Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong’s expression was grim.
She had indeed seen Yu Xiaogang mentioned in the diary—but now Xu Fan was saying that he had lied to her.
She wanted to argue back, but after thinking it over, she decided to keep watching.
On the other side—
Liu Erlong clenched her fists, her brows knitted tightly.
“Xiaogang… he’s actually Tang San’s teacher?”
“Why would he say that?
Why would he say Xiaogang lied to me?”
She was confused—but more than that, she desperately wanted answers.
She hadn’t seen Yu Xiaogang since he left last time.
Yet she still thought of him from time to time.
There was longing.
And there was anger.
The other women couldn’t help gasping in shock.
This Yu Xiaogang was truly something—he even had a past connection with Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong.
Yu Xiaogang was a failure, awakening with only Innate Rank 0.5 spirit power, making him utterly useless.
Of course, his spirit itself wasn’t useless—Luo San Pao was originally meant to be the Golden Holy Dragon Spirit.
But Yu Xiaogang was simply too incompetent, causing the awakening to fail.
[The Spirit Fusion Ability between Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, and Flender alone proves this.]
The Golden Holy Dragon was a three-in-one Spirit Fusion Ability jointly formed by Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and Liu Erlong, boasting a compatibility rate of 99%, with Yu Xiaogang as its core.
[This clearly shows that Luo San Pao carries the bloodline of the Golden Holy Dragon—but Yu Xiaogang himself is too useless to awaken it properly.]
[Yu Xiaogang’s favorite saying is: “There are no useless spirits, only useless Spirit Masters.” Well said—he perfectly describes himself.]
[So useless that even within his own family he was looked down upon, despite his father being a sect master.]
[Unable to advance through cultivation, Yu Xiaogang devoted himself to researching Spirit Master theory—yet in the end, he produced nothing of real value.]
[So he came up with a solution: plagiarism.]
[He took other people’s research and packaged it as his own.]
[For example, his so-called Ten Core Theories of Spirit Masters were copied from texts belonging to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and Spirit Hall.]
[Otherwise, how could someone who would never reach the Spirit Elder rank in his lifetime possibly develop such theories?
Even then, many of them are outright wrong.]
