Chapter 491 The Master Gets Beaten Up
The moment Dugu Bo opened his eyes wide, a chilling aura of soul power erupted from his body, causing the temperature in the entire Education Committee hall to drop several degrees.
The powerful aura of a Title Douluo swept across the entire venue, causing everyone present to feel a chill in their hearts and be greatly alarmed.
Meng Shenji, the chief of the Education Committee, was about to greet Prince Xuexing when the words caught in his throat and he could no longer speak.
The other two Soul Douluo next to him, Bai Baoshan, the second-ranked Soul Douluo, and Zhi Lin, the third-ranked Soul Douluo, also changed their expressions drastically, and their eyes all fell on Dugu Bo.
Even Prince Xuexing, who was standing next to Dugu Bo, was startled and involuntarily shuddered.
The avalanche nearly scared him to death; his already slightly greenish complexion suddenly turned even greener.
The students of Shrek Academy also felt great pressure.
The more powerful teachers, including Flander and Zhao Wuji, instantly became serious, as if facing a formidable enemy.
The Shrek Six Monsters were even more breathless, as if the green-haired old man opposite them was an incomparably ferocious beast, bringing inexplicable fear to everyone.
Especially Xiao Wu, the rogue rabbit hiding behind Tang San, almost curled up into a ball, trembling with fear.
She knew that the green-haired old man was probably a Title Douluo among human Soul Masters, and that he had most likely already discovered her identity.
Especially his dark green eyes, devoid of any life, revealed an expression that was not only cold but also incredibly cruel and sinister.
His gaze was clearly directed at himself.
At this moment, Xiao Wu was terrified, and her whole body was trembling violently. Even Tang San, who was standing in front of her to block the cold aura released by Dugu Bo, noticed her abnormality.
Just when Xiao Wu thought her life was over, Dugu Bo unexpectedly withdrew his gaze, and the powerful aura of a Title Douluo that had suddenly erupted also disappeared.
Actually, it wasn't that Dugu Bo didn't discover the Rogue Rabbit's soul beast identity, nor that he didn't covet the 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone on the Rogue Rabbit. It was just that he remembered the arrangement of Saint Ye Qifeng and, for the sake of the overall situation, forcibly suppressed the greed in his heart.
Moreover, the aura of a titled weapon inadvertently revealed by a hidden hammer made him wary, which is why Dugu Bo pretended nothing had happened.
The terrifying pressure of soul power that had been looming over them dissipated, and everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, instinctively taking a deep breath.
Prince Xuexing turned to look at Dugu Bo, and asked with some surprise:
"Your Excellency Poison Douluo, what's wrong? Have you discovered something?"
Dugu Bo glanced meaningfully at the Shrek Academy members, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips, before replying to him in a chilling tone:
"It's nothing."
Prince Xuexing looked suspicious, but seeing that Dugu Bo didn't want to say more, he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
"Your Excellency Poison Douluo, Your Highness the Prince, what brings you two here?"
After calming down from being frightened by Dugu Bo, Chief Dream Strategist, along with Second Seat Bai Baoshan and Third Seat Zhilin, stepped forward and bowed slightly to Prince Xuexing and Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo remained expressionless. Considering that his granddaughter was still studying at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, out of politeness, he simply gave a curt "hmm" in response, then closed his eyes and said no more.
Prince Xuexing smiled faintly, a slight curl at the corner of his lips.
"Having heard that we have guests visiting our Heavenly Dou Royal Academy for exchange and study, I happened to have some time, so I came to see what kind of guests are qualified to come to our academy for exchange and study?"
"After all, as the direct administrator of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, I have the authority to make personnel decisions."
Meng Shenji frowned slightly, suddenly feeling a headache.
From Prince Xuexing's tone, he clearly sensed that the visitor was not friendly.
However, what Prince Xuexing said at the end was not wrong. He was indeed a member of the Tiandou Empire's royal family appointed by Emperor Xueye to take charge of the Tiandou Royal Academy. As members of the three committees of the Education Committee, they could not afford to offend him.
Although he was displeased, Meng Shenji still maintained a smile on his face and led Prince Xuexing, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, and Xue Beng into the Education Committee Hall.
At this moment, Qin Ming and the rest of the Shrek Academy students had already stood up.
After welcoming the three into the hall, Meng Shenji smiled and pointed to the Shrek Academy students, introducing them to Prince Xuexing:
"Your Highness, let me introduce you. This is Flander, the Dean of Shrek Academy. The dozen or so people behind him are the teachers and students from Shrek Academy who are here to study at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
Then Meng Shenji looked at Flander and introduced him to Prince Snowstar:
"Dean Flander, the person before you is His Highness Prince Xue Xing of the Heaven Dou Empire. The Heaven Dou Royal Academy is directly under His Highness's control."
Flanders was arrogant and had no interest in nobles, not even princes.
However, being dependent on others at this point, he still bowed slightly and greeted Prince Xuexing with a greeting:
"Your Highness, greetings."
Prince Xuexing, however, did not give him a friendly look, instead coldly mocking him a few times:
"Shrek Academy? Never heard of it. Is it some third-rate, low-ranking school?"
Xue Beng glanced at the Shrek Academy students, then leaned close to Prince Xue Xing's ear and whispered something.
Prince Xuexing frowned upon hearing this, and looked coldly at Meng Shenji:
"Chief Dream Master, how could you allow these people of unknown origin to be arbitrarily brought into our Heavenly Dou Royal Academy?"
"You should know that the Heaven Dou Royal Academy is a pillar of the Heaven Dou Empire, a place that supplies the empire with outstanding talents. Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry is qualified to enter."
Upon hearing Prince Xuexing's words, everyone at Shrek Academy, including Qin Ming, was enraged.
Zhao Wuji and Dai Mubai, who had the most volatile tempers, were about to explode on the spot, but were fortunately stopped by Flander.
The head of the Education Committee, Meng Shenji, frowned and hurriedly defended Shrek Academy:
"Your Highness, you can't say that."
"Although Shrek Academy is not a formally established academy, it has cultivated many Soul Master talents. For example, our teacher Qin Ming is a genius trained by Shrek Academy."
"Your Highness, I think you are aware of Teacher Qin Ming's talent and ability. You were present when he was recruiting, and it was you who strongly advocated for the recruitment."
"Furthermore, the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is eager to recruit talent. When hiring teachers, they don't care about background; they only look at talent, strength, and teaching ability. Have you forgotten that?"
"Dean Flander and all the teachers at Shrek Academy are invaluable talents. We should welcome them to teach at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
Upon hearing Meng Shenji mention Qin Ming and the academy's recruitment rules, Prince Xuexing blushed slightly, but didn't take it too seriously.
His gaze first swept over Flander and the group of teachers behind him, then returned to Meng Shenji:
"That's true, Chief Dream Strategist, if I remember correctly, according to the rules of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, hiring teachers should require passing an examination, right?"
"Have these individuals passed the assessment?"
Meng Shenji smiled slightly and said confidently:
"No assessment is needed. All the teachers at Shrek Academy possess the strength of a Heaven Dou-level teacher. I can assure His Highness of this."
Prince Xuexing snorted coldly:
"So, they haven't been tested yet?"
Meng Shenji's tone was slightly hesitant:
"No, there isn't, but..."
Meng Shenji was about to speak again when Prince Xuexing coldly interrupted him:
"Chief Dream God, since this is a recruitment of teachers, then we must follow the rules of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy. As the chief of the Royal Academy's Teaching Committee, how can you take the lead in overstepping the academy's rules and arbitrarily hire some arrogant and domineering individuals?"
"I heard that these 'distinguished guests' beat up Xue Beng as soon as they arrived at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy yesterday. No matter how spoiled Xue Beng is, he is still the fourth prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, representing the face of the royal family. How could he be so easily humiliated?"
"As the direct administrator of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, I will never allow any lawless individuals who disregard royal authority to set foot in the academy."
Upon hearing this, Avalanche, who was standing next to Prince Xuexing, immediately fanned the flames with excitement:
"Yes, yes, Uncle, we must not allow such people who disregard royal dignity to set foot here. Not only that, we must also hold them accountable."
Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhilin, the three members of the Education Committee, finally understood why Prince Xuexing had suddenly appeared at the Education Committee. It turned out that the avalanche had caused trouble, and this was not a good situation.
Watching the avalanche leaping and chattering about, everyone from Shrek Academy visibly grew angry, gritting their teeth and wishing they could rush up and tear his foul mouth apart.
Flander, suppressing his anger, gritted his teeth and said:
"Has His Highness the Prince inquired of the Fourth Prince why he was beaten?"
"Your Highness, how do you intend to resolve this matter?"
Flander was an unruly person to begin with, and his words at this moment were already somewhat impolite.
Prince Xuexing smiled calmly, ignoring the dissatisfaction and anger in Flander's words. He glanced at the Shrek Academy teachers, led by Flander, then coughed lightly and waved his hand, saying:
"Since you are all seeking cooperation, and I am a man who appreciates talent, as for the avalanche, he was also at fault yesterday, so let's just let it go."
"but."
As he spoke, his tone changed:
"On the condition that you prove to me that you are indeed talented."
Flanders frowned deeply:
"How can you prove it?"
Prince Xuexing smiled calmly:
"It's very simple, as long as you can pass the test."
Upon hearing this, the three education committee members, Meng Shenji, and others, breathed a sigh of relief, assuming that Prince Xuexing was referring to the teacher assessment at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy. Given the strength of the teachers from Shrek Academy, passing the assessment would be no problem at all.
But to everyone's surprise, Prince Xuexing suddenly changed the subject:
"As for who will be selected for the assessment, let's have Poison Douluo Mianxia."
"If you can hold out against Poison Douluo for five minutes, I will acknowledge you as talented individuals and grant you permission to teach at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Your students will also be able to enroll in the academy, and you will receive the best possible treatment."
"Otherwise, you will all disappear from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy immediately and go back to where you came from."
As he spoke, Prince Xuexing maintained a smile on his face, but the threat in his words was blatantly obvious.
"What?"
Before Flanders and the others could speak, the head of the Education Committee, Meng Shenji, couldn't help but speak first:
"Prince Snowstar, this is going too far!"
"To withstand five minutes from the Poison Douluo? How is that possible?"
"Don't even mention the teachers at Shrek Academy, even our three Soul Douluos on the Education Committee couldn't do it. They are Title Douluos, the pinnacle of Soul Masters in the world. How could they possibly persevere?"
Faced with Meng Shenji's questioning, Prince Xuexing remained calm and dismissively chuckled.
"Is it excessive? Heh, I don't think so."
"Chief Dream God, don't forget that the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy belongs to the royal family. As its direct manager, I have the power to make personnel decisions. Giving them the opportunity to take the assessment is already an extraordinary favor. Don't be ungrateful."
As Prince Xuexing spoke, he glanced at him indifferently:
"If you are not satisfied, you can complain to His Majesty, but until His Majesty removes me from my post, everything at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is still under my control."
Meng Shenji was so angry that his beard and hair stood on end, his finger trembling slightly as he pointed at Prince Xuexing, his face full of rage but unable to utter a word:
"you--"
After Prince Xuexing finished speaking, he ignored Meng Shenji and turned to face the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo beside him. The arrogance on his face vanished instantly, as if he had changed his expression, and he became extremely respectful.
"Your Excellency Poison Douluo, I'm entrusting the rest to you."
Dugu Bo didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly at him, then looked at the Shrek Academy members:
"As Prince Xuexing said, let's let our strength speak for itself and prove ourselves. Come on, all of you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, accompanied by a powerful aura of soul energy, a strong green light suddenly emanated from Dugu Bo's body, and a huge green snake-shaped phantom emerged from behind him, which was his martial soul - the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor.
At the same time, nine dazzling soul rings, yellow, purple, black ...
The dazzling light of the spirit illuminated the entire Education Committee hall in a magnificent display.
The three education committee members, including Meng Shenji, immediately changed their expressions. The expressions of the Shrek Academy students changed even more drastically. They felt an unparalleled pressure and instinctively released their martial souls, attempting to suppress and repel the massive soul power.
The moment Dugu Bo activated his Martial Soul and Soul Rings, only Prince Xue Xing and the Fourth Prince Xue Beng felt relieved, as the pressure of Dugu Bo's Soul Power did not fall on them.
Prince Xuexing wore a faint smile, seemingly extremely satisfied.
Standing next to Prince Xuexing, Xue Beng wore a smug and gloating expression.
Just as Dugu Bo was about to intensify his soul power pressure, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, with his hands behind his back, suddenly stepped forward:
"Wait a minute. Since you call yourself the 'Poison Douluo,' I assume you must be Senior Dugu Bo, whose title is also 'Poison.'"
"Haha, that's right, it's me."
Looking at the arrogant Yu Xiaogang, Dugu Bo let out a strange laugh, then his expression suddenly turned cold:
"However, do you even have the right to speak here? A mere Great Soul Master dares to obstruct me? Get lost!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful surge of soul force emanated from Dugu Bo, forming a violent shockwave that slammed into Yu Xiaogang's chest.
boom--
Yu Xiaogang, who was about to continue speaking, was caught off guard. Well, to be honest, with his limited cultivation level, it wouldn't have mattered if he had tried to defend himself.
The shockwave struck him directly in the chest. Before Yu Xiaogang could even utter a sound, he was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing heavily into the wall of the Education Committee hall.
Immediately afterwards, he slid to the ground like a lump of mud, his fate unknown.
