Chapter 32: Prince Xuexing, discussing others behind their backs is not wise

Zhilin smiled slightly, then slowly released his own soul power pressure.

At first, he only released soul power pressure of about level 20, wanting to test Tang San's endurance. However, Tang San remained motionless, as if he had not been affected at all.

A flash of surprise crossed Zhilin's eyes, and then he gradually increased the soul power pressure.

Level 30, level 35, level 40... Tang San still stood steadily in place; although a trace of sweat seeped from his forehead, his expression remained calm.

"Not bad, to be able to withstand level 40 soul power pressure." Zhilin nodded, his eyes full of approval.

He had originally thought that Tang San could at most withstand pressure of around level 30; he had not expected the other party to be able to hold on until level 40, which had far exceeded his expectations.

Meng Shenji and Bai Baoshan also revealed surprised expressions. They had not expected Shrek Academy to have such outstanding students.

"Dean Flender, your Shrek Academy truly has a succession of talents," Meng Shenji said with a smile.

Flender smiled and said modestly, "Committee Member Meng, you flatter us. This child Tang San does indeed have some talent, but he still needs much more tempering."

Zhilin withdrew his soul power pressure, patted Tang San on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "In the future, you may ask me anything regarding control-type questions."

Hearing this, Tang San immediately became happy.

"Many thanks, senior."

The others, seeing this, were also happy for Tang San.

However, just as everyone was immersed in joy, the door to the Committee Member's office was suddenly pushed open, and a cold voice came through: "I heard some Shrek Academy has come here; I would like to see it for myself."

Everyone looked toward the sound and saw a middle-aged man wearing a silver robe walk in.

His face was stern, his expression arrogant, and he swept his gaze over everyone with great disdain.

"Prince Xuexing, why have you come again?"

The three Committee Members were truly speechless; the last time Teacher Zhexian came to Tiandou Royal Academy, this guy had come to join in the fun... Fortunately, Teacher Zhexian had not held it against him at the time.

This time, when Shrek Academy came for an exchange, he had popped up again...

Prince Xuexing, who had just walked through the door, almost lost his footing upon hearing the words of the three Committee Members.

He cursed inwardly at what those three old fellows meant!

But he still maintained the etiquette required of royalty.

"With such a big event as an academy coming for an exchange, I came to take a look. What? Am I not welcome?"

Then, under the eyes of everyone, he walked to a chair on the side and sat down, and behind him, there was no sign of Dugu Bo.

The sudden appearance of Prince Xuexing caused the originally harmonious atmosphere to instantly become somewhat tense.

The expressions of the three Committee Members changed slightly, clearly feeling a headache over the arrival of this Prince.

Meng Shenji stepped forward and said with a smile, "Prince Xuexing, Shrek Academy was specially invited by us for an exchange."

Prince Xuexing gave a cold snort, his gaze sweeping over the people of Shrek Academy, his tone carrying a bit of disdain: "Shrek Academy? I've never even heard of it; it's just an obscure little academy. Are they worthy of coming to our Tiandou Royal Academy for an exchange?"

Upon hearing this, Flender frowned slightly, but quickly returned to calm. He stepped forward and said with a smile, "Prince Xuexing, although Shrek Academy is not large in scale, our students are all geniuses. Coming here for an exchange this time is also in the hope of learning from the students of Tiandou Royal Academy."

Prince Xuexing sneered, clearly unimpressed by Flender's words. He turned to look at the three Committee Members, his tone carrying a bit of questioning: "Meng Shenji, have you three Committee Members been too casual? Can just any academy come to our Tiandou Royal Academy for an exchange? Is the reputation of our academy worth so little?"

Meng Shenji's expression sank, but he still maintained a polite smile: "Prince Xuexing, we have personally verified the strength of Shrek Academy, and their students are indeed very excellent. This exchange was also decided after our careful consideration and will absolutely not affect the academy's reputation."

Prince Xuexing gave a cold snort, clearly dissatisfied with Meng Shenji's explanation. He turned to look at the people of Shrek Academy, his gaze sweeping over Tang San, Dai Mubai, and others, finally stopping on Ning Rongrong, a strange look flashing in his eyes.

"The little girl from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?" Prince Xuexing narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone carrying a bit of probing.

Ning Rongrong did not have a shred of good feeling for this guy; this so-called Prince had been mocking their Shrek Academy the whole time.

"So what if I am?"

Prince Xuexing was not angry; instead, he looked at her with interest and said, "As expected of the famous little witch of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"But the others are not so famous."

Dai Mubai frowned upon hearing this and was about to step forward to retort, but was stopped by Flender.

Flender smiled slightly and said, "Prince Xuexing, although our students come from humble backgrounds, they are all gifted with extraordinary talent and will absolutely not disappoint you."

Prince Xuexing sneered, clearly unimpressed by Flender's words. He turned to look at the three Committee Members, his tone carrying a bit of command: "As the direct administrator of the academy, I do not agree to them, Shrek Academy, entering our Tiandou Royal Academy."

Upon hearing this, Meng Shenji's expression became ugly, and he was about to speak to dissuade him, but Prince Xuexing had already stood up, his gaze coldly sweeping over the three Committee Members.

"Poison Venerable has now broken through to level 95 and is worrying about having no one to spar with."

This sentence was clearly a threat to the three Committee Members.

But the three Committee Members, facing this sentence, could only be angry but dare not speak.

"If only Teacher Zhexian were here."

The second-ranked Committee Member, Bai Baoshan, sighed, his tone full of regret; it was Teacher Zhexian who had helped Dugu Bo detoxify back then, and even helped the other party break through three levels in a row.

Hearing this old fellow mention the two words "Zhexian," Prince Xuexing's expression suddenly turned gloomy, and he glared at him fiercely.

"That Zhexian with the mysterious background didn't look like a good person at all. He abandoned the Imperial Fighting Team and left for so many years without a trace. Now it seems how wise my idea was to not agree to him entering the academy back then."

Prince Xuexing was secretly pleased, a look of a superior figure appearing on his face.

Just as Prince Xuexing was triumphantly mocking Zhexian, the door to the Committee Member's office was pushed open again, and a calm voice slowly came through: "Prince Xuexing, discussing others behind their backs is not wise."

This voice was not loud, but it seemed to carry an invisible pressure, instantly causing the atmosphere of the entire hall to solidify.

Everyone looked toward the sound and saw a young man in white clothes walking in slowly.

Petals drifted, accompanied by a cool breeze sweeping past.

His face was handsome, his temperament extraordinary and refined, as if he were untainted by dust, and his whole person exuded an aura that was difficult to ignore.

"Teacher Zhexian!" Upon seeing the person who arrived, the three Committee Members' faces instantly revealed expressions of surprise, and they hurriedly stepped forward to welcome him.

Prince Xuexing's expression instantly turned ugly; he had not expected that just as he mentioned Zhexian, the other party would suddenly appear.
