Douluo Dalu: The Legend of The Spider Emperor

Heaven Dou City, Blue Tyrant Academy.

Nestled within the bustling Heaven Dou City, the Blue Tyrant Academy may not rival the grandeur of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, but its ability to establish a high-level soul master academy in this prime real estate speaks volumes about its formidable background.

Unlike the aristocratic Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, Blue Tyrant Academy has a distinct philosophy: it only admits commoners and rejects nobility outright. The academy features a harmonious integration of nature and architecture, with towering trees and lush greenery adorning the campus.

The Shrek team arrived after hearing about the academy. After completing the initial test, the academy's recruiting teacher, overwhelmed by the high soul power levels of Flender and his group, escorted them to the rear mountain to meet the academy's principal.

The rear mountain exuded tranquility, adorned with vibrant flowers, crystal-clear streams, and air perfumed with the subtle fragrance of blooms.

As they reached a wooden cabin, a melodious tune wafted through the air. A stunning woman sang softly while watering the flowers around her. The rustic cabin stood amidst towering ancient trees, surrounded by a wooden fence, exuding an idyllic charm.

Enthralled by the ethereal melody, the Shrek team paused, their restless hearts soothed. Flender wore a knowing smile, sneaking a glance at the dour-faced Grandmaster standing nearby.

Grandmaster's mood was far from cheerful. His expression darkened as if storm clouds hovered over him. His tightly clenched fists revealed his inner turmoil.

As Grandmaster turned to leave, Flender firmly grabbed his arm, locking him in place.

"Flender, what are you doing?!" Grandmaster protested, displeased.

The group, puzzled by the tension, exchanged curious glances. Clearly, there was history here.

As a member of the "Golden Iron Triangle," Flender had shared fame with Grandmaster in their youth. With a sly grin, he dragged the reluctant Grandmaster forward, calling out:

"Er Long! Big Brother is here to rely on you!"

Grandmaster: "…"

The woman froze mid-action. The watering can slipped from her hand, shattering on the ground. Ignoring the mess, she stepped forward, her face filled with disbelief and her eyes brimming with tears.

"Xiao Gang, is that really you?" Her trembling voice carried both sorrow and joy.

Her slender hand gently touched Grandmaster's stiff face. Noticing a bruise near his eye, her expression twisted with rage. A sudden surge of pressure dropped the surrounding temperature noticeably.

"Who hurt you, Xiao Gang? Tell me, and I'll make them pay!" she demanded anxiously.

Nearby, Flender awkwardly rubbed his swollen cheek, the five-finger imprint still prominent. A pang of resentment flashed in his heart. Why does no one care about me?

"Cough, cough…" Flender cleared his throat, hoping to redirect the attention.

The woman turned to see the conspicuous slap mark on Flender's face. She narrowed her eyes and demanded:

"Flender, Xiao Gang, what happened? Who dared to bully you two? Tell me, and I'll settle the score immediately!"

As she spoke, seven soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black—rose from beneath her feet, emanating an imposing aura.

The Shrek group froze in shock. The gentle woman had suddenly revealed herself to be a powerful Soul Saint. Her relationship with Flender and Grandmaster clearly ran deep.

Sighing deeply, Flender recounted the events leading to his injury.

Hearing that Bone Douluo from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan had struck them, her fury ebbed slightly.

"A Title Douluo…" she muttered, her tone subdued. No one dared provoke a Title Douluo lightly.

Yet her indignation reignited. "The Heaven Dou Imperial Academy has gone too far, and that brat, Ye Hao—what grudge does he hold against you to humiliate you so?"

With a decisive wave of her hand, she turned to a nearby teacher.

"Inform the entire academy. From today onwards, Blue Tyrant Academy will be renamed Shrek Academy!"

Flender's eyes widened in surprise, then filled with joy. However, his elation soon gave way to confusion.

"Er Long, what are you doing?" he asked hesitantly.

The woman glanced at Grandmaster's somber face and made her decision.

"Flender, you're our Golden Iron Triangle's leader. Your problem is my problem. Since the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy disrespects you, they disrespect me as well. From this day forward, this academy is yours. I'll announce the change to the students and staff tomorrow."

"Flender, you are now the rightful principal of Shrek Academy!"
