Chapter 500 The Conflict Between Liu Erlong and the Master
Seeing this, Liu Erlong simply smiled modestly and said:
"Boss Fu, you flatter me."
"In terms of foundation, Blue Tyrant Academy is no match for Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Whether it is in terms of scale, teaching staff, resources and supporting facilities, it is far inferior."
"Joining the Heaven Dou Royal Academy is actually a good choice for you, after all, the benefits offered by the Heaven Dou Royal Academy are something that Blue Tyrant Academy cannot afford."
At this point, Liu Erlong paused, a sweet smile appearing on her beautiful face, and continued:
"Moreover, Blue Tyrant Academy doesn't belong to me alone. It was created by my brother, a sister, and me together."
"I can decide to hire you two directly, after all, I know your strengths and abilities very well."
"But if your entire Shrek Academy were to join Blue Tyrant Academy, then the other teachers and students would have to be recruited and admitted according to Blue Tyrant Academy's rules and procedures. After all, rules cannot be disregarded."
"However, since you have already joined the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, I won't worry about it anymore."
Flander was taken aback by Liu Erlong's words:
"A younger brother? And younger sisters?"
Yu Xiaogang, who was standing next to him with his arms crossed, also frowned:
"When did you get a younger brother?"
Liu Erlong, oblivious to Yu Xiaogang's furrowed brow, nodded happily and said to them:
"My younger brother is someone I've adopted. His name is Ye Qifeng. He's a really nice guy. He once saved my life. I'll definitely introduce him to you when I have the chance."
"As for my best friend, she is actually Xiao Feng's friend. Her name is Qian Renxue. But we get along very well and can talk to each other a lot. We eventually became best friends who can talk about anything."
"Blue Tyrant Academy was founded with the help of Little Feng and Little Xue'er. They provided most of the funding needed to establish the academy; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to build such a large advanced soul master academy."
"Oh, right, they are two of the three vice deans of Blue Tyrant Academy, but they don't like to manage affairs, so the position of dean of Blue Tyrant Academy fell to me."
Upon hearing this, Flander and Yu Xiaogang exchanged glances.
Only then did they finally understand how Blue Tyrant Academy was established, and that it was not owned by Liu Erlong alone.
This is somewhat different from their initial guess.
Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but feel a little regretful. It was a pity that the Blue Tyrant Academy belonged to Liu Erlong alone.
In that case, once Shrek Academy ends its cooperation with the Heaven Dou Royal Academy a year later, this place can be used as the school's location. I suppose that stupid woman Liu Erlong wouldn't be stingy enough to give Blue Tyrant Academy to herself and Flander.
Just as Yu Xiaogang was starting to have ideas and was beginning to consider taking advantage of Blue Tyrant Academy, he heard Liu Erlong continue speaking:
"If it weren't for the fact that Little Feng and Little Xue'er aren't currently at Blue Tyrant Academy, I would definitely introduce you two to each other."
As she spoke, she sighed softly, a hint of resentment involuntarily appearing in her eyes:
"Sigh, I haven't seen them for years."
"Ever since Xiaofeng left, Xue'er hasn't come to Blue Tyrant Academy anymore. I wonder where they are now, and how they're doing?"
Listening to Liu Erlong's mutterings to herself, Flander and Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but feel surprised and curious. Who exactly were Ye Qifeng and Qian Renxue, whom she was talking about? It seemed like those two people held a very important place in her heart.
Flanders didn't think much of it.
On the contrary, I think it would be a good thing if Liu Erlong had more friends, as it would be of great benefit to her physical and mental health and emotional stability.
However, Yu Xiaogang was somewhat displeased.
He seemed to have figured something out, as he had an extremely good grasp of women's psychology.
He sensed something unusual in Liu Erlong's resentful expression and words, and felt that his position in Liu Erlong's heart seemed to be shaky and precarious.
Especially that guy named Ye Qifeng.
That stupid woman, Liu Erlong, gets all excited whenever Ye Qifeng is mentioned. If there's nothing fishy going on, Yu Xiaogang would definitely do a handstand, defecate, and then eat it.
Thinking about it this way, he suddenly felt like he had been cheated on, and his face darkened.
Liu Erlong had no idea what the two were thinking. She took a deep breath, barely managing to pull herself out of her reverie and resentment towards Ye Qifeng and Qian Renxue, and looked at Flander and Yu Xiaogang:
"Boss Fu, Xiao Gang, you're new here, you probably haven't visited our Blue Tyrant Academy yet, have you?"
"How about I give you a tour and tell you all about it?"
Upon hearing this, Flanders immediately stood up from his seat and rubbed his hands together happily:
"Come on, Erlong, give us a proper introduction and let us see what your Blue Tyrant Academy is all about. When we came in, we only got a general view."
As the dean of Shrek Academy, Flander was quite interested in Blue Giant Academy's learning environment and various teaching facilities.
Although he lacked the ability and resources to create a learning environment as good as Blue Tyrant Academy for Shrek Academy, this did not diminish his curiosity.
…………
Led by Liu Erlong, the three of them walked out of the reception room of the office building and came outside.
Walking through Blue Tyrant Academy, Liu Erlong pointed to the distant forest and introduced it:
"Blue Tyrant Academy is not as large as the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but it is not small either. For example, that forest is the largest in the entire Heaven Dou City, and it now belongs entirely to Blue Tyrant Academy."
"The surrounding mountains, rivers, lakes, and so on are also exclusive resources of Blue Tyrant Academy."
Then, pointing to the surrounding buildings, she continued her introduction:
"Our teaching facilities here, while not as good as those at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, are not far off."
"Whether it's student and faculty dormitories, office buildings, or facilities like simulated training grounds, everything is available."
As she introduced herself, a proud smile couldn't help but bloom on Liu Erlong's pretty face:
"Although Blue Tyrant Academy has only been established for a little over five years, we have achieved quite good results."
"In the second year after the academy was founded, we defeated many strong opponents in the previous Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies. We not only eliminated the second team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but also directly entered the top eight. In the end, our results were only slightly worse than the first team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
"As a result, Blue Tyrant Academy's reputation has been greatly promoted, attracting many commoner Soul Masters to join us."
"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, our Blue Tyrant Academy has a rule that we only accept Soul Masters from commoner backgrounds, and we do not accept Soul Masters from noble families or noble clans."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang, who had been standing with his hands behind his back and his head held high, suddenly frowned and said expressionlessly:
"Does Blue Tyrant Academy only accept commoner Soul Masters?"
"Does that mean that the students of Blue Tyrant Academy are extremely poor in terms of the quality of their martial souls? They're probably even worse than those useless students of Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong's tone faltered slightly. She glanced at Yu Xiaogang, and although she didn't agree with his words, she wasn't angry. She simply patiently explained a few things:
"Students from commoner backgrounds are indeed inferior to students from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy in terms of the quality of their spirit masters, and may even be inferior to students from other ordinary advanced spirit master academies."
"But it is precisely because our students come from commoner backgrounds that they are much more diligent in their cultivation than those from large families or noble families."
"Therefore, in terms of strength, the students of our Blue Tyrant Academy are in no way inferior to those Soul Master students from big families or noble families."
Yu Xiaogang scoffed at this, giving a dismissive snort.
"Absurd. The most important thing in Soul Master cultivation is talent. If your talent is too poor, no matter how hard you cultivate, your final achievements will be extremely limited and you will never be able to compare with the achievements of people with higher talent."
For example, himself.
It's because of his lack of talent that his martial soul mutated and became of poor quality. No matter how much he cultivated, he was ultimately stuck at the level of a level 29 Great Soul Master.
To say I don't work hard? Impossible.
Is it because there aren't enough cultivation resources? No, it isn't.
Born into the direct line of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he lacked neither cultivation resources nor personal effort; the only thing he lacked was talent and aptitude.
If it weren't for his limited talent and aptitude, why would he have been stuck at the level 29 Great Soul Master for his entire life?
Therefore, it is not advisable to make up for the lack of talent through hard work, at least that's what he thinks.
This is also why he ate and drank for free at Notting College back then but didn't want to teach any students.
Because those students were simply too incompetent and had no value in being trained.
This principle also applies to the ordinary students of Blue Tyrant Academy.
Before Liu Erlong could speak, Yu Xiaogang continued:
"You should know that Soul Masters from large families or noble families are naturally superior to Soul Masters from ordinary commoners in terms of talent, aptitude, and martial soul inheritance. This is an advantage that commoner Soul Masters can never reach."
"If that's the case, why not recruit Soul Masters from noble families?"
"An academy that only recruits commoner soul masters and rejects noble soul masters will never grow big and strong."
"Or at least, it should be like Shrek Academy in Flanders, which accepts talented Soul Masters regardless of their background and adopts elite education. Only in this way can it be easier to cultivate talents."
"Isn't it inappropriate for an academy like Blue Tyrant to only recruit Soul Masters with mediocre talent?"
Liu Erlong frowned slightly, but she strongly disagreed with Yu Xiaogang's statement.
From his tone, she only heard three words—"disdain," a disdain for commoner soul masters, and also a disdain for the educational philosophy of Blue Tyrant Academy.
After thinking for a moment, Liu Erlong retorted:
"Xiao Gang, what you said makes some sense. In terms of talent, aptitude, and martial soul inheritance, commoner soul masters are indeed not as good as those from large families or noble families. But it is undeniable that there are also talented people among commoner soul masters."
"I cannot agree with your theory."
After a pause, Liu Erlong glanced at Yu Xiaogang, ignoring his slightly displeased expression, and continued:
"Besides, you should know what my greatest wish is."
"My original intention in creating Blue Tyrant Academy was to provide a platform for commoner Soul Masters to acquire more Soul Master knowledge, to build a cradle for commoner Soul Masters, not to serve the nobility."
"Therefore, I will not listen to your advice to recruit noble students or to carry out elite education. Blue Tyrant Academy will only admit commoner Soul Masters, and we will admit anyone who meets our admission requirements."
Seeing Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang suddenly start arguing, and their expressions growing increasingly strange, Flander, looking completely bewildered, quickly stepped between them and tried to lighten the mood:
"What are you two talking about? Aren't we visiting Blue Tyrant Academy? Erlong, let's continue."
Liu Erlong gave Yu Xiaogang a deep look, feeling somewhat displeased, but said nothing more and continued walking forward.
Seeing this, Flander quickly pulled Yu Xiaogang, whose face was displeased after being refuted by Liu Erlong, and followed her.
As Liu Erlong walked, he continued to explain the details of Blue Tyrant Academy:
"In the few years since its establishment, Blue Tyrant Academy has produced many ordinary people with considerable strength. It has a great reputation in the soul master world of the Heaven Dou Empire. Even soul masters from noble families have to admit Blue Tyrant Academy's contribution to the soul master world."
"The current number of students at Blue Tyrant Academy is over four hundred, which is twice that of Heaven Dou Royal Academy. It can almost be called the cradle of commoner soul masters."
"Even the Spirit Hall has partnered with Blue Tyrant Academy, absorbing many of the spirit master talents trained by Blue Tyrant Academy."
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang suddenly stopped, turned to look at Liu Erlong, and coldly questioned her through gritted teeth:
"Your Blue Tyrant Academy actually has a partnership with the Spirit Hall?"
What Yu Xiaogang hated most was Qian Xunji, but Qian Xunji was already dead.
Now, what he hates most is the Spirit Hall.
Yu Xiaogang would never forget the humiliation the Spirit Hall had brought him. If given the chance, he would definitely raze the Spirit Hall to the ground and grind its bones to dust, leaving not a trace behind.
But now he is being told that his woman, Liu Erlong, is actually colluding with the Spirit Hall?
This is something Yu Xiaogang absolutely cannot tolerate.
Hearing his question, Liu Erlong's handsome eyebrows furrowed slightly:
"What's the problem with that?"
"For us commoner soul masters, isn't the Spirit Hall the best place to go after graduating from the academy?"
"Looking around the entire Douluo Continent, the Spirit Hall is probably the Spirit Master faction that treats ordinary Soul Masters the best."
"If that's the case, then for the sake of the students' future, it's not unreasonable for Blue Tyrant Academy to cooperate with the Spirit Hall."
Liu Erlong's explanation was reasonable and well-founded, but Yu Xiaogang wouldn't listen at all. He suddenly roared at Liu Erlong:
"Liu Erlong, you know perfectly well that I have a grudge against the Spirit Hall, so why did you choose to cooperate with them?"
Liu Erlong's brows furrowed even deeper:
"Xiao Gang, what do you mean?"
"Are you suggesting I terminate the cooperative relationship between Blue Tyrant Academy and the Spirit Hall for your sake?"
Yu Xiaogang gave a cold laugh, as if he had lost his mind:
"Why not?"
Liu Erlong was immediately enraged, and her words became increasingly impolite:
"Of course not."
"Xiao Gang, your feud with the Spirit Hall is your business. What does it have to do with Blue Tyrant Academy?"
"Although it may be inappropriate for me to say this as a friend, as the dean of Blue Tyrant Academy, I have to consider the livelihood of hundreds of students in our academy. It is impossible for me to sever ties with the Spirit Hall as you suggested."
"Furthermore, our Blue Tyrant Academy has the backing of the Spirit Hall. Otherwise, why do you think we've been able to stand tall in Heaven Dou City, a city teeming with nobles, without being completely devoured by them?"
"Severing cooperation with the Spirit Hall? That's impossible."
As she spoke, she looked up at Yu Xiaogang and said in an extremely calm tone:
"Xiaogang, we've only just reunited after twenty years. I don't want to argue with you, so don't be unreasonable."
