Douluo: I Achieve Supremacy with Life Blue Silver Grass

To everyone's surprise, Ye Yu didn't side with the Heaven Dou Academy's Education Committee.

This greatly pleased Prince Xue Xing, who gently stroked his snow-white beard, a pleased smile appearing on his face as he chose to give Ye Yu some face.

"Since Teacher Zhao Wuji has earned the high regard of Young Master Ye Yu,"

"Then he must truly be a talent!"

"For genuine talent, this prince is more than willing to break conventions."

"As long as Teacher Zhao Wuji is willing, I approve of him staying on to teach at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy."

When Prince Xue Xing said this, Flender, Yu Xiaogang, and Li Yusong were filled with humiliation and anger.

What was that supposed to mean?

So Zhao Wuji was a talent—but the rest of them were trash?

At this moment, Yu Tianheng stepped forward, cupping his hands respectfully toward Dugu Bo and Prince Xue Xing.

"Honored Senior Dugu, Your Highness," he said seriously.

"This is my uncle."

He pointed at Yu Xiaogang and continued his introduction.

"My uncle is a renowned master of Martial Soul theory, well-known in the field of Spirit Master research. He's the one who proposed the 'Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls' and the theory of 'Spirit Ring Absorption Limits'. His brilliance is unmatched."

"Perhaps in the past, Shrek Academy lacked proper methods for training students. But now that my uncle is here, everything will change!"

"I implore you, honored seniors, don't judge hastily and overlook true value!"

Yu Tianheng's confidence when speaking about his uncle was unwavering.

That Yu Xiaogang was his uncle—a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and the son of the legendary Thunderclap Douluo Yu Yuanzhen—came as a surprise.

Hearing this, both Dugu Bo and Prince Xue Xing frowned, clearly hesitant now about dismissing Yu Xiaogang outright.

They didn't want to risk offending the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

But just then, Dugu Yan crossed her arms and let out a cold laugh.

After all, during their time at Shrek, Ye Yu had thoroughly exposed Yu Xiaogang's past, and once Zhu Zhuqing moved into the Dugu Estate, Dugu Yan had naturally inquired about Ye Yu's situation at the academy.

Having learned about Yu Xiaogang's shameless behavior, Dugu Yan was quick to speak up on Ye Yu's behalf:

"'Master of Martial Soul Theory'? What utter nonsense!"

"Those so-called 'Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls'—aside from that ridiculous line 'There are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Spirit Masters,' which contradicts itself—the rest are just common knowledge."

"Stuff like 'Martial Soul quality correlates with innate Spirit Power' and 'Martial Souls are divided into Beast and Tool categories'—even novice Spirit Masters know that."

"You call that theory?"

"And that 'Spirit Ring Absorption Limit' theory—listing fixed numerical caps like '423 years for the first ring, 764 years for the second, 1760 for the third'…"

"But every Martial Soul is different! Even Spirit Masters at the same level have vastly different physical constitutions."

"You're going to tell me an Auxiliary-type Tool Spirit Master should absorb a ring at the same limit as a Power Attack–type Beast Soul Master?"

"If someone actually believed this garbage and tried to absorb a ring at those limits, they'd blow themselves up!"

"This kind of dangerous misinformation is not theory—it's a disgrace!"

She scoffed.

"Not to mention, back at Nuoding Academy, this so-called 'uncle' of yours tried to coerce Ye Yu into revealing confidential Martial Soul data, using moral guilt."

"Even just a few months ago, at Shrek Academy, he still tried to get secrets from Ye Yu—offering nothing in return, just spouting off useless soul beast trivia and promising 'friendship' from your clan."

"To be that shameless and self-important, and you still have the gall to brag about him?"

"You're full of it!"

"You're slandering him!" Yu Tianheng turned red with fury, shouting in outrage.

"You ignorant people don't understand my uncle's greatness!"

Just then, Ye Yu's expression went cold. In a flash, he appeared in front of Yu Tianheng—and without a word, slapped him across the face.

SMACK—!

A clear palm print appeared on Yu Tianheng's cheek as he was sent flying, several bloody teeth spilling from his mouth as he crashed hard into the floor, finally stopping only after sliding several meters and hitting the wall near Yu Xiaogang.

"Ignorant?" Ye Yu sneered.

"You really like throwing around labels, don't you?"

"Just like your uncle."

"Yanyan and I have read more books than you could ever imagine. You're in no position to insult anyone."

Beside them, Yu Xiaogang trembled with rage. His face turned beet red with humiliation as he rushed over to support his injured nephew.

"Tianheng!"

As he helped Yu Tianheng up, his voice was hoarse and filled with anger.

At that moment, Flender finally lost all patience.

"Enough!" he growled.

Turning to the three Education Committee members, he cupped his fists stiffly.

"Since it's clear we're not welcome here, we'll take our leave!"

"Let's go!"

"I'll go with you, Headmaster Flender," came Qin Ming's voice.

He gritted his teeth, tore off his Heaven Dou Imperial Academy teacher's robe, and stepped forward to stand beside the Shrek group.

"Committee Members," Qin Ming said, bowing deeply.

"Thank you for your guidance and cultivation."

"But as a former student of Shrek Academy, I cannot sit idly while my teachers are humiliated before my eyes."

"My heart is heavy with guilt. I must go with them."

With that, he turned and prepared to leave with the others.

"Hold it right there!"

Ye Yu blocked the exit, his eyes fixed on Qin Ming as he coldly asked:

"Teacher Qin Ming, what do you take Heaven Dou Imperial Academy for?"

"A place you come and go as you please?"

"This is the Royal Academy—an extension of the Empire itself!"

"You can leave if you must—but Teacher Zhao Wuji stays!"

Ye Yu's gaze turned toward the man in question, who had been walking at the back of the group, clearly conflicted.

At Ye Yu's statement, Flender, Yu Xiaogang, Li Yusong, Lu Qibin, and Shao Xin all scowled.

"Old Zhao, maybe you should stay behind," Li Yusong said mockingly.

"After all, Lord Ye Yu seems to like you so much—clearly, you're too good for us lowly Shrek folk."

Zhao Wuji's face darkened.

"Will you people ever let this go?!"

"Ye Yu has helped me—twice—in the Star Dou Forest."

"Once when Tang San provoked the Unrivaled Dragon Serpent Couple by snatching the Man-Faced Demon Spider."

"Back then, I had no choice but to beg Ye Yu for assistance."

"Then, when Tang San tried to absorb that ring, it was Ye Yu again who stepped in!"

"I've always acted as a responsible teacher. I did what I had to do to protect my students."

"And when Ye Yu asked me to help train Zhuqing and Rongrong—who were still part of the academy at the time—I did so."

"How is that a crime?!"

"If you insist I'm a traitor—fine! I'll show you what that really means!"

"You go your way, and I'll go mine."

"I, Zhao Wuji, will stay here—at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy!"

With that, Zhao Wuji stormed over to Ye Yu's side.

Ye Yu stepped aside from the door, satisfied.

Yu Xiaogang, still supporting the battered Yu Tianheng, looked dejected.

After having argued with Dugu Yan, been publicly slapped by Ye Yu, and humiliated in front of everyone, Yu Tianheng clenched his fists in shame and pain.

"Uncle," he said through gritted teeth.

"I'm leaving too."

"I won't stay at some place that can't recognize your brilliance."

"I'm going to join Shrek Academy with you."

"I know you'll give me the best training possible!"

And just like that, Qin Ming and Yu Tianheng left Heaven Dou Imperial Academy along with the rest of the Shrek group.

"Qin Ming! Tianheng!"

The three Education Committee members—Meng Shenji, Zhi Lin, and Bai Baoshan—were clearly pained.

Not only had they failed to bring Shrek Academy under their banner, they'd also lost two valuable talents of their own.

A terrible loss.

But Ye Yu only gave a faint smile and said coolly:

"Don't worry, Committee Members. It's only Qin Ming and Yu Tianheng."

"From now on, Teacher Zhao Wuji will serve as our Heaven Dou First Team's leader."

"He's far more capable than Qin Ming ever was."

"As for Tianheng—he can go."

"We'll just have Zhu Zhuqing take over as our Power Attack–type Spirit Master. He's not irreplaceable."

The three committee members looked at each other, then sighed.

He was right.

According to what Ye Yu had revealed, Shrek Academy under Flender's leadership wasn't exactly known for sound pedagogy or moral integrity.

Beyond Zhao Wuji, they had little to offer.

Tying himself to that institution, Yu Tianheng could hardly compare to Ye Yu, a seventeen-year-old Spirit Ancestor at Rank 48 who could already overpower Spirit Emperors like Qin Ming.

Not to mention, Ye Yu had the support of four top-tier female Spirit Masters—Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong—and enjoyed the favor and trust of the Crown Prince himself.

Backed by Dugu Bo, and with Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan in his corner—whose elders included Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo—

If they had to choose between the two…

There was no question.

They'd choose Ye Yu.
