Soul Land: I Became Qian Xunji’s older brother

"Dean Flander, are you all alright?"

Qin Ming, as Shrek's loyal dog, completely ignored Xue Beng, who had his leg broken. He was just a useless prince; how could he compare to Shrek Academy, the sacred place in his heart?

"Hey, we're fine. But thanks to you, kid, otherwise, we don't know how much effort it would have taken to get into Heaven Dou Academy."

Flander waved his hand indifferently. They hadn't suffered any losses anyway. However, Xue Beng had his leg broken, and for a moment, Flander was worried Xue Beng might cause trouble, so he asked with some concern, "That kid is a prince after all. Will what we did cause trouble?"

"No, Teacher, you probably don't know that Prince Xue Beng is a complete wastrel. Even the Heaven Dou Emperor is too lazy to bother with him and has completely given up on him. Besides a few bestowed servants, he doesn't even have a single capable person under him. He spends his days listening to music in brothels."

Qin Ming said this nonchalantly. Xue Beng was a useless prince. How could Xue Ye not choose Shrek Academy, this powerful force, over him?

"Hahaha, indeed. After all, my title of Immovable King Zhao Wuji is notoriously famous."

Zhao Wuji burst into laughter. Qin Ming also took the opportunity to flatter Zhao Wuji, making him grin from ear to ear.

"I have already reported to the Academy's management council. Someone will come to receive you, Dean, shortly."

As Qin Ming spoke, he led Flander and the others to the VIP room to rest. The luxurious setting stunned the Shrek group.

However, at this moment, Xue Beng also found Emperor Xue Ye, who was having a private meeting with Xue Qinghe.

"Imperial Father, you must uphold justice for your son!"

Xue Beng cried, snot and tears flowing, as if he wanted to shed all the tears of his life. He spread his arms, ready to embrace Xue Ye and complain.

"What trouble have you gotten into again, you brat?"

Xue Ye's face darkened as he watched Xue Beng run over. This rebellious son never brought good news. If it weren't for him being his own flesh and blood, he would have thrown him out long ago.

"Yes, Fourth Brother, don't rush, speak slowly. Big Brother will uphold justice for you."

Xue Qinghe actually had some fondness for Xue Beng. He posed no threat, had no power base, and just wanted money and to visit brothels every day. He lived a happier life than Xue Ye and posed no threat at all.

"It was a group of people from some Shrek Academy..."

Xue Beng tearfully exaggerated the story, finally adding, "Oh, and that fat guy who hit me also said that our family's broken swan isn't fit to be royalty, and that his noble Phoenix Martial Soul should be."

This last sentence was, of course, added by Xue Beng to provoke Xue Ye, seeing that he wasn't very angry. And it proved effective.

"How audacious!"

Xue Ye's face was filled with anger. How dare they insult the Imperial Family's Martial Soul!

What he valued most at the moment was not just strength, but also the Imperial Family's prestige. It was bad enough that those kingdoms paid lip service but acted otherwise, but now, right under the Emperor's nose, they had beaten his son. Where would the Imperial Family's face be? Would every Tom, Dick, and Harry be allowed to step on them?

Moreover, this happened at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. What kind of place was Heaven Dou Royal Academy? It was a place he, the Emperor, personally established, and the words on the gate were written by him, the Emperor.

Today, they dared to beat Xue Beng at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, relying on two Soul Saints. Tomorrow, would they dare to come to the Imperial Palace and kick him off the throne?

The Heaven Dou Empire's Imperial prestige was already negligible, and now it was being attacked by nobodies, which immediately infuriated the narrow-minded Xue Ye.

"Qinghe, go mobilize troops! Immediately arrest everyone from Shrek and interrogate them thoroughly."

In his opinion, even if Ma Hongjun hadn't said those words, the Imperial Family's prestige had been damaged, and it must be restored through severe punishment.

"Yes, Imperial Father."

Receiving the order, Xue Qinghe slowly stood up, looked at Xue Beng, and said, "Come with me, Fourth Brother. Let me see which wild academy dares to offend the Imperial Family's prestige."

...

As Xue Qinghe mobilized three thousand armored guards and marched grandly towards Heaven Dou Royal Academy, he first sent a message via Martial Soul to the three Professors of the Academy, instructing them to thoroughly suppress Shrek Academy's arrogance.

At this moment, Qin Ming also walked into the VIP room with an excited expression, saying to Teacher Flander, "Dean, the three Professors have agreed to meet us, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will arrive shortly."

"Good, you've really worked hard, Qin Ming."

Flander looked at Qin Ming with satisfaction, praised him a few times, and then said nothing more. As for a reward, what reward? His praise was enough.

Zhao Wuji also patted Qin Ming's shoulder with his rough hand, praising, "Good kid, truly one of ours from Shrek."

"Teacher Zhao, what are you saying? Qin Ming is a Shrek man in life, and a Shrek ghost in death."

Qin Ming scratched his head, a little embarrassed by everyone's enthusiasm, and said firmly.

"Please come with me to the Council Chamber to meet the three Council Members first. I believe they will be very pleased about you, Teachers, joining Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

"Oh, we're not joining Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but temporarily entering Heaven Dou Royal Academy. We must retain the name of our Shrek Academy, and in the future, it must also be named Shrek."

Flander adjusted his round glasses and retorted. Shrek Academy was his life's work; how could it be casually merged into another academy?

"Uh, I misspoke, disciple. Teachers and junior brothers, please follow me."

Qin Ming realized he had said the wrong thing, immediately chuckled a few times, and walked ahead, leading the way for Shrek Academy.

They arrived behind Heaven Dou Royal Academy, in front of a delicate, predominantly white pavilion.

"This is the Council Chamber. Dean, don't underestimate it. The materials used in its construction were carefully selected and can withstand the bombardment of a Soul Douluo."

"As expected of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, truly wealthy and powerful."

Flander touched the wall of the Council Chamber in surprise, discovering that the wall could actually disperse the soul power from soul attacks and transmit it underground, achieving the purpose of dissipating force.

As Qin Ming introduced, he slowly walked into the Council Chamber, came to the second floor, and pushed open the door, only to suddenly discover that there were more than just three Professors sitting on the three highest seats at the head of the table.

On the five chairs to the left and right of the three highest seats, the various department heads were also seated for the meeting. When the door was pushed open, they all looked towards the Shrek group entering.

"Professors, Department Heads, what are you doing?"

Looking at the scene before him, Qin Ming felt his scalp tingle. They were surrounded by a group of department heads, in a lower position, and it seemed they were not friendly.

The surrounding department heads scrutinized the Shrek Academy members from above, their gazes towards Qin Ming being more complex, with some resentment, regret, anger, and more often, incomprehension.

Why would Qin Ming, who had received Heaven Dou Royal Academy's cultivation and attention and was destined to become a Professor, abandon his future for this Shrek Academy?

"This is not your place to speak, Senior Tutor."

The leading Chief, Meng Shenji, interrupted Qin Ming, and said coldly to the Shrek group below, "Are you the ones who want to merge into our Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"
