Zhao Wuji, who stood outside to guard the academy, looked dumbstruck after he saw the dragon. The corner of his eyes twitched as he saw it spewing a large ball of flame towards the center of the academy.

There was a complex expression on Zhao Wuji's face as he couldn't decide whether to rush back to the academy to help Flender and others or stay outside according to the plan.

While he was hesitating whether or not to leave his position, the dragon above the academy disappeared. He sighed in relief and hoped everyone was alright.

Flender's anger did not cool down after hearing their explanation. After listening to the voice inside his head Flender, instantly figured out that it was Liu Erlong who was in control of the spirit fusion ability.

The corner of his mouth twitched even though Flender was angry there was nothing he could do about it! Ask for an explanation from Liu Erlong? Flender did not have a death wish. Moreover, he knew that the current Xiaogang could tie against him if not beat Flender.

Flender suddenly felt that both husband and wife had plotted against him. He had not even sat on the Dean's chair, and the couple already gave him the welcome gift: a huge debt.

Suddenly, a light flashed, and the huge flaming dragon became illusionary, and it vanished within a few moments. Two figures with their eyes closed and were still hugging each other appeared on the ground.

Flender again became speechless and said, " How long are you both going to pretend that I am not here? " Although he had mentally accepted the fact that Xiaogang and Erlong are together, it did not mean he enjoyed watching them show affection in public.

Both of them opened their eyes spontaneously, and Erlong hastily escaped Xiaogang's embrace; she turned around, glared at Flender, and walked away.

Xiaogang could still see a hint of red on her face; he laughed and turned around, looked at Flender, and said, " Boss Fu, are you sure you don't want me to introduce you to someone? "

Flender, who thought that Xiaogang was about to discuss the next step of the plan, looked dumbstruck; his words remained stuck in his mouth. Flender could not think about any response to this question.

Xiaogang noticed Flender's embarrassment and continued, " Boss Fu, you need to groom up a little before I introduce her to you. "

Flender glared at Xiaogang; he decisively changed the topic, " What are we going to do next? "

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

Xiaogang did not take it seriously and casually replied, " We will carry on as planned. "

He continued, " Let Wuji and others set up everything in another hall. "

" Okay. " Flender nodded; he turned around and left to oversee the arrangements.

Although Erlong's recklessness caused significant damage to the academy; still, two buildings were intact. Zhao Wuji and other teachers acted swiftly; they made all of the arrangements in the other building.

Liu Erlong personally oversaw the task of decorating the paths. Starting from the academy's entrance until the main hall's door, the whole path was decorated with beautiful flowers. Among the three of them, she was the one who had the most experience in dealing with the nobles.

[ After a few hours. ]

One after another, the guests started to arrive. Xiaogang and Zhao Wuji were the ones assigned to guide the guests. Xiaogang wanted to see if there was any possibility of cooperating with someone.

Soon a group of five people arrived. An old man wearing red clothes was walking in the center while the rest four guarded him on the four sides.

From their unique dress, anyone could tell that they were from Spirit Hall.

There was a hint of surprise in his eyes after seeing them. After their recent failure, Xiaogang did not think that Spirit Hall would arrive in such a grand fashion.

Xiaogang indifferently cupped his hands and greeted the old man in front of him, " Welcome to the Shrek Academy, Bishop Salas. "

One of the four guards standing behind Salas angrily said, " Why didn't you kneel after seeing the Bishop ? "

Salas did not stop the guard from speaking rudely; he also wanted to watch what would Yu Xiaogang do?

A sharp light flashed in Xiaogang eyes, " Who are you to speak in front of me? "

His cold voice sounded in the guard's ear, and before anyone could react, Xiaogang's body disappeared as if melted in the surroundings and appeared in front of the guard.

Yu Xiaogang clenched his right fist, and his fifth spirit ring, which had already materialized beneath him, lit up. His fist shimmered with black light, and Xiaogang punched the unprepared guard in his abdomen.

" Kacha! " Everyone heard the sound of bones getting crushed.

The guard's face became pale as he spat a large amount of blood from his mouth. This fist not only severely injured him but also abolished his spirit-energy crippling him.

Xiaogang's body appeared back in his previous position. All of this happened in a matter of a few seconds.

Salas's face showed an expression of unbelief. Till present, no one dared to act against Spirit Hall so brazenly. He could not believe what had just happened.

" Y...You, do you want to act against Spirit Hall? " Salas asked angrily. No one ever dared to provoke him like this.

" What are you saying, Bishop Salas? This is slander. " Xiaogang replied with a calm face. Before giving him a chance to speak, he continued, " Your guard showed hostility towards me, the young master of Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. "

He made a face of realization and spoke loudly, " Does it means Bishop Salas wants to act against the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan or is it Spirit Hall's conspiracy? "

" Y..Yo...You don't slander! " Salas's face became red with anger. He lost and lost thoroughly at Xiaogang's hands.

Xiaogang cupped his hands again and said, " Esteemed Bishop Salas, please enter. " Although his words may look respectful, in fact, it was a naked mockery. After all, the other side had already revealed its true intentions. Why should Yu Xiaogang bother to be polite with him?

Xiaogang signaled to Wuji standing beside him; the latter immediately understood his intentions and took the initiative to lead the Spirit Hall's group inside the academy.

Apart from the Spirit Hall, Clear Sky Clan and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan sent their representatives.

What surprised Xiaogang was that Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan did not send a representative; instead, Ning Fengzhi, accompanied by Bone Douluo, came himself.

Yu Xiaogang never thought that his small gathering would attract a titled douluo. If Ning Fengzhi's arrival surprised him, the arrival of Xue Xing made him frown.

Xue Xing was a prince and the younger brother of the current Emperor Xue Ye. Moreover, the latter was accompanied by another Titled Douluo: Poison Douluo.

Yu Xiaogang always felt that the other party never came with any good intentions; yet, he was confident in dismantling their conspiracy. Still, before taking the next step, he wanted to confirm whether it was Emperor who ordered Xue Xing to come or the latter was acting personally.
