Duolou: After taking advice, I became Supreme!

Oscar was shocked.

"Oh no, I think he heard what I said. This is bad."

Flender walked over to Yun Feng and the others, stopping in front of them.

His unique, slightly magnetic and raspy voice rang out, "This year looks promising. We've added five more little monsters. I, Flender, the dean of Shrek Academy, welcome you all on behalf of the academy. Later, each of you must hand over 100 gold coins to Teacher Li, who is in charge of finances. Mubai?"

"Dean," Dai Mubai stepped forward. He seemed to hold great respect, even admiration, for Flender.

Flender looked at him and said, "We've got a few more junior students now. Later, you'll explain the academy rules to them, and then everyone should go rest and recover to your best condition. The first lesson will begin tonight. Oscar and Ning Rongrong, you two will be the exceptions. Come with me."

Oscar's face immediately fell. Reluctantly, he walked over to Flender and saluted. When he saw Ning Rongrong join him, his expression brightened a little.

Flender waved his hand, "The rest of you can go rest. Make sure to reach your best condition before nightfall. Don't say I didn't warn you—our academy's training is different from elsewhere, and you might even face some danger."

Just as he was about to leave, Flender turned back, looking directly at Yun Feng. "By the way, you admitted earlier that you swindled me out of money. When do you plan on paying it back?"

Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing, who had been about to leave, stopped in her tracks, curious to see how Yun Feng would respond.

Yun Feng faced Flender's stern expression, but he merely smiled before quickly turning serious. "Dean Flender, you can't make baseless accusations. You never specified whether the 30 coins you asked for were gold, silver, or copper. The deal was done. Are you trying to raise the price afterward?"

Flender, a Soul Sage known for his self-restraint, almost couldn't hold it together. This kid was infuriating.

You scammed me; fine, I accept that you're a genius. But did you really have to mention it in front of everyone? Now you're even waving around different coins like it's a show!

Since Yun Feng had put him on the spot, Flender couldn't just ignore it. His face shifted from calm to a wide grin.

"Hahaha, of course not! I, Flender, have been in the soul master world for over 30 years. My word is as good as gold, and I would never raise the price at the last minute."

However, before Flender could bask in admiration, Xiao Wu spoke up, looking at Tang San before turning to Flender.

"Wow, Dean! So, can you refund the extra money you charged us before?"

"I haven't bought any new clothes in ages!" Xiao Wu's face lit up with excitement, as if she could already see the gold coins coming back to her.

Flender froze.

He had only wanted to show off a bit, but now, thanks to Xiao Wu, everyone was looking at him expectantly. He suddenly found himself in an awkward spot.

After a moment of silence, Flender burst into laughter. Reluctantly, he reached into his storage soul tool, took out a pouch of gold coins, carefully counted them, and then tossed it over to Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu happily caught the pouch, counted the coins, and then smiled contentedly at Tang San.

"Tang San, I got your money back for you!"

Hearing this, Flender thought Tang San must have put Xiao Wu up to it.

If you didn't want to give me the money, why did you force it on me in the first place? Tang San, oh, Tang San!

Flender, notorious for his love of money, felt a wave of sadness wash over him but chose not to say anything more.

As he was about to leave, Yun Feng called out again.

"Dean, I wanted to ask if I could build my own house here on the academy grounds?"

Flender had been ready to refuse, but Yun Feng casually tossed a pouch of coins his way. Flender, instantly recognizing its heft, paused. Remembering Yun Feng's earlier antics, Flender opened the pouch to inspect it. After confirming the amount, he waved his hand.

"Sure, of course! Do you need help finding some workers?"

Yun Feng shook his head. "That won't be necessary. Building a house is no big deal."

With that, Yun Feng led the group away from the training grounds. Curious, many others followed.

Yun Feng stopped at a large empty space behind the dormitories. After confirming with Flender that it was fine to build there, Yun Feng summoned his martial soul.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, his Blue Silver King martial soul quickly spread and infused with soul power. Under Ah Yin's mental control, the Blue Silver King took shape, and soon, a massive palace appeared on the grounds of Shrek Academy.

Yun Feng, looking only slightly pale, retracted his martial soul. The palace, however, remained standing.

Everyone was stunned.

Flender couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked, "How did you do that?"

Yun Feng smiled calmly. "Just standard procedure. What's the big deal?"

Flender felt completely deflated.

Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu, however, were delighted. They rushed over to Yun Feng, eyes wide with excitement.

"Yun Feng, can you make another one?"

"Yes, please? Can you?"

Yun Feng glanced at them and then, 'apologetically,' shook his head. "I'm not strong enough to make another one yet. But if you want to stay, there are a few bedrooms inside."

Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong jumped for joy at this, while Zhu Zhuqing hesitated, not wanting to impose. But seeing this, Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong quickly pulled her along into the palace.

"If we all stay together, it'll be fine! We can even pay Yun Feng rent if we have to!"

Tang San, watching all this, wanted to say something, but was cut off by Ning Rongrong.

"Yun Feng, since you're renting the house to us, you can't rent it to any of the boys. Of course, you're the exception since you're the landlord!"

Tang San, foot already halfway through the door and words on the tip of his tongue, instantly fell silent.
