Spirit Hall City, Spirit Hall's Worship Hall.
Golden Eagle Spirit Douluo quickly delivered news of the Pope Hall's actions to the various worship elders.
Golden Crocodile Douluo flew into a rage and immediately stood up to volunteer himself.
"Big Brother, Bibi Dong's behavior is getting more outrageous by the day. It's time we taught her a lesson!"
Qian Daoliu disliked internal conflict, so he did not accept the suggestion. Instead, his gaze swept across the other worship elders.
Demon-Subduing Douluo spoke up.
"Big Brother, the Pope Hall must at least give us an explanation or surrender part of its authority. Otherwise, this matter absolutely cannot end here."
Because of the "test" arranged by Bibi Dong, the worship elders now had an entirely new understanding of Wu Qi's strength.
At only Level 42, he had managed to kill three Spirit Kings in one battle. If such a genius were carefully nurtured, he would undoubtedly become the strongest person on the continent in the future.
In a way, they even had to thank Bibi Dong for this.
At the same time, allowing Wu Qi and the others to gain experience outside the academy had also proven to be a wise decision.
Qian Daoliu still had not made up his mind and turned his attention toward Azure Luan Douluo, who remained unusually calm.
"Third Brother, what do you think?"
Azure Luan Douluo considered his words for a moment before replying,
"I believe Seventh Brother's earlier proposal can be adopted."
"Hm?"
Qian Daoliu frowned slightly.
Earlier, Demon-Subduing Douluo had proposed removing Wu Qi and the others from Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
With the strength they had shown now, they were more than capable of winning the Spirit Master Tournament.
Wu Qi's performance had been so dazzling that it overshadowed Feng Xiaotian and the others. But there was no denying that they too were top-tier geniuses.
A team like this might very well become the strongest lineup in the tournament's history. The three members of the Pope Hall's so-called Golden Generation would stand no chance against them.
Thinking of this, even Qian Daoliu had to reconsider the matter.
Qian Renxue had not yet gained control of the empire. Any achievements made by Heaven Dou Second Team would ultimately become the accomplishments of Emperor Xue Ye.
Talents cultivated by Spirit Hall could not be allowed to serve the Heaven Dou Empire.
At first, Qian Daoliu had not believed Wu Qi and the others would amount to much, so under Qian Renxue's suggestion, he had tacitly approved the arrangement.
Looking back now, it really had been poorly considered.
"But what does this have to do with the safety of Wu Qi and Changkong?" Qian Daoliu asked.
Azure Luan Douluo replied,"In Heaven Dou City, our only truly reliable ally is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. With their strength, they are fully capable of protecting Wu Qi and the others."
"Since Wu Qi's team is destined to achieve excellent results, we might as well hand this favor to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan as a reward."
Qian Daoliu asked,"You mean to have the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan establish a new academy and recruit Wu Qi's team?"
He had no objection to giving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan some benefits, but carrying out this plan would require the perfect opportunity.
Right now, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan was benefiting from both sides and would not lightly offend the Heaven Dou imperial family.
And getting Wu Qi and the others to leave Heaven Dou Royal Academy would not be easy. The imperial family would never willingly let them go.
Azure Luan Douluo continued,"Wu Qi is extraordinarily intelligent. We should first inform the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and let them discuss the matter privately among themselves."
"Ning Fengzhi is no fool. Anything beneficial to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan will naturally receive his full attention."
Throwing the problem to someone else was not a bad strategy.
As for Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu only issued an internal warning and took no further action.
Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
After returning from their training trip, everyone immediately went back to their dormitories and took hot baths.
The journey had exhausted everyone greatly, so Sun Buyu decided to give the team two days off to rest and recover.
However, someone clearly did not intend to let them relax.
Wu Qi had just finished washing up when someone knocked on the dormitory door.
"Is Xiao Wu here? It's Teacher Qin."
Wu Qi was not surprised. What was coming had always been inevitable.
He did not know exactly what promises Qin Ming had made to Shrek Academy, but Heaven Dou Second Team had clearly taken the "slot" Shrek Academy wanted.
There could only be one reason for Qin Ming's visit.
After opening the door, Qin Ming walked in familiarly and sat down on the sofa as though he owned the place.
Wu Qi snorted softly in annoyance.
They were nowhere near close enough for that level of familiarity.
Qin Ming's behavior was almost identical to Yu Xiaogang's before him. As expected of someone from Shrek Academy, they all had the same attitude.
"What do you want?" Wu Qi asked bluntly.
Qin Ming frowned slightly but did not dwell on the tone.
Getting straight to the point, he said,"I heard from the three committee members that Heaven Dou Second Team has already been fully formed?"
Wu Qi did not answer directly. Instead, he countered,"You're not our team leader. If you're dissatisfied with Heaven Dou Second Team's training progress, or if you want to interfere, you should discuss it with Teacher Sun."
Sun Buyu and Qin Ming had a very poor relationship.
Back when Qin Ming had still been a Heaven-Level teacher, Sun Buyu had taken great care of him. But after Qin Ming became a Heaven Dou-Level teacher, he began treating Sun Buyu coldly.
Qin Ming's character spoke for itself.
Qin Ming knew it would not be easy to persuade Wu Qi. If he turned hostile now and earned Wu Qi's resentment, he would lose all future chances.
Thinking this through, he forced out a smile and even offered praise.
"I've heard about Heaven Dou Second Team's training results. You've all done very well."
"I'm not here to instruct you. I came to discuss something with you."
Seeing that Wu Qi did not interrupt, he continued,"At present, Yufeng and Oslo from Heaven Dou First Team can no longer keep up with the team's progress. I intend to replace them."
"Also, the Shi brothers have overlapping roles, so I've decided to rotate them. Everyone is fighting for the empire's honor, so I hope you can understand the academy's difficulties."
"First Team is the academy's public face. I plan to fill the three vacant positions using members from Second Team. In addition, the three committee members have already agreed to merge Shrek Academy into Heaven Dou Royal Academy. In the future, Heaven Dou Second Team will consist of Shrek Academy's teachers and students together with the current members of Second Team."
"I heard your relationship with Shrek Academy is quite good. Are you satisfied with my proposal?"
Wu Qi finally understood completely.
Qin Ming and Yu Xiaogang were practically cut from the same mold. Neither of them possessed much real ability, yet both were absurdly self-confident, convinced they could effortlessly accomplish great things.
Besides, he had absolutely no connection with Shrek Academy. It was all just wishful thinking from Flender and the others.
Without replying, Wu Qi walked to the entranceway, picked up a potted plant from the shoe cabinet, and silently held it out toward Qin Ming.
Qin Ming raised an eyebrow, unable to understand Wu Qi's intention. Instinctively, he declined.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I don't think I need it."
Wu Qi replied calmly,"Teacher Qin Ming, this potted plant is called Bilian. Since you don't need Bilian anymore, you should leave."
Qin Ming did not understand immediately.
But he knew this matter required giving Wu Qi time to think it over.
Only after reaching the doorway did realization suddenly hit him. His face instantly darkened.
"Wu Qi, is this how you speak to a teacher?"
"You have absolutely no respect for your elders or your superiors!"
The joke was obvious once understood.
["Bilian" sounded like "no shame" in Chinese slang.]
No matter what, he was still an academy teacher. How could he possibly allow a student to mock him so openly?
