If Shrek's grass-roots team wants to establish an academy, they first need teachers. In this Douluo Continent, among the soul masters, the most powerful soul masters come from the Brahman and Kshatriya family sects. As a Vaishya who changed his fate due to the awakening of the Spirit Hall, Flanders naturally could not attract the support of the Kshatriya and Brahman. You know, even the Brahman Yu Xiaogang who was looked down upon by other Brahmans for his spirit mutation looked down on Flanders from the bottom of his heart, not to mention other Brahmans and Kshatriyas.
Therefore, Flanders can only find like-minded people from the Vaishya to build his own team.
Flanders is also very lucky. In Douluo Continent, the awakening of the Spirit Hall for tens of thousands of years has given birth to the largest Vaishya soul master class in the entire continent. Most of the Vaishyas who came from mud legs are devoted to the Spirit Hall, regard the Spirit Hall as a holy place for soul masters, and join it.
But there are always some who, after being awakened by the Spirit Hall, are gifted and feel that they will have great things in the future. Therefore, they hate the greedy and selfish Spirit Hall, and are unwilling to be bound by the dogma of the Spirit Hall and yearn for freedom.
For example, Zhao Wuji, who awakened the spirit of the powerful King Kong Bear, felt that he was very great after the spirit of the Spirit Hall was awakened. When he was young, he had a bad temper and loved to stir up trouble. He had conflicts with people from the Spirit Hall and injured members of the Spirit Hall, so he had a grudge with the Spirit Hall. However, the Spirit Hall took a fancy to Zhao Wuji's strength and tried to recruit him, but Zhao Wuji was stubborn and unwilling to surrender to the Spirit Hall, which triggered the pursuit of the Spirit Hall.
In that pursuit, Soul Emperor Zhao Wuji successfully resisted the siege of sixteen bishops of the Spirit Hall who were at least level 60 or above Soul Emperor-level strongmen, and escaped from the encirclement. This battle made him famous, but also completely offended the Spirit Hall.
He and Flanders also met because of this and became a confidant.
Then they made friends with Li Yusong, Lu Binqi and others, and the Shrek team was set up.
Due to lack of money, they could only open Shrek Academy in the village.
"The tuition fee is ten gold soul coins, and the soul power level must be above level 20 at the age of 12. My God, this condition is too strict." Li Yusong said.
"Harsh?" Flanders sneered, "In the entire Douluo Continent, there is no advanced soul master academy that is open to civilian soul masters. Our Shrek Academy recruits students for them. Isn't it worth the price?"
"Ahem." Li Yusong coughed twice and said, "Dean Flanders, what I mean is, at the age of 12, the soul power level must be above level 20. Isn't this condition too harsh?"
Flanders said, "We don't have much money, so we have to spend it on the blade. If Shrek wants to grow stronger, it must rather have nothing than something mediocre from the beginning. The reason why Shrek is Shrek is because it is a monster. We cultivate monsters, not trash."
After that, Flanders continued to analyze, "If we accept everyone, then real talents will not come to us. On the contrary, we should build an academy that only cultivates monsters and create a monster atmosphere to attract monster students to come and study, right?"
Zhao Wuji, Li Yusong and others were convinced by Flanders.
This is indeed an excellent marketing strategy. Given the shabby level of Shrek Academy, only teachers like Flanders and the marketing strategy of this monster can truly attract talents. (Of course, cultivating talents into talents is something that any qualified high-level soul master academy can do. If it weren't for the rise of Tang San and others, what would Shrek Academy's behavior be called - grandstanding)
The next day, in a rural area of Soto City, Shrek Academy was officially established.
The news spread like a gust of wind, and many Vaishyas came with their children.
Although Shrek is shabby, the teaching staff is really amazing. Zhao Wuji and Flanders are either soul kings or soul emperors. In addition, the high-level soul master academies in Douluo Continent are almost all internally recruited academies, only looking at background, and only accepting Brahmins and Kshatriyas. After the Vaishyas finish the elementary and intermediate soul master academies, they basically reach the end. If they want to further their studies, there is no place to go.
Well, Shrek is a school that doesn't ask about background, but only looks at talent, so of course they have to give it a try.
They naturally ignored Flanders' admission requirements. After all, people tend to have a sense of luck. The enrollment team in front of Shrek Academy lined up in a long queue.
Flanders sat on a chair in the enrollment office in front, and Zhao Wuji and Li Yusong stood beside him like guardians.
A Vaishya parent led his child forward. Flanders pointed to the cash box in front and said, "Pay the money first, ten gold soul coins."
"Yes, yes, yes." The Vaishya parent threw ten gold soul coins into the box. This was the savings of their family for three years, but as long as they could train their son, it would be worth spending the money.
"Open your martial soul and stretch out your hand." Flanders said to himself as he watched the money fall into the box.
The child obediently opened his martial soul, the wind wolf martial soul, and two soul rings lingered around him, level 21. At the same time, Flanders held the child's hand and said, "Bone age is 13 years old."
"My child is not bad, you see, his two soul rings are both hundred-year soul rings, which I hired a professional soul hunting team to hunt for. How about it." The Vaishya parent smiled.
Flanders smiled but said nothing. He pointed to the position on the left and said, "Stand here first. We will announce the result later. Next one."
The parents of the children had to stand with their children at the position designated by Flanders.
The next Vaishya parent came up with his child. He was 12 years old and level 18. His first spirit ring was a ten-year spirit ring. Flanders still asked him to pay the money and stand in the position of the previous parent.
The queue became smaller and smaller. More and more people stood on the left. Occasionally, there would be geniuses who were 12 years old and above level 20. Flanders asked him to stand on the right.
This was the difference. The people on the left began to feel uneasy. A parent couldn't help asking, "Is it okay? Give me an answer."
Zhao Wuji said with a fierce look on his face, "Be quiet. If you keep making noise, don't blame me for being rude. Don't disturb the dean. I will inform you of the result later."
Finally, this group of Vaishyas survived the scorching sun. At dusk, everyone finally finished queuing.
Flanders stood up, stretched his body, pointed to the few people on the right and said, "You have passed the first round of assessment."
He then pointed to the people on the left and said, "As for you, I'm sorry, you have been eliminated."
