The Cosmic Age: Subverting the Universe

Yu Xiaogang nodded, knowing that Flanders was right. Since he had decided to teach at Shrek, it would be difficult for him to come back. So he began to pack his luggage, packing up the precious valuables, research materials, and some personal belongings.

Before leaving, Yu Xiaogang looked back at this simple yet cozy residence, then took a firm step forward and never looked back.

Flanders took Yu Xiaogang around Soto City. Instead of heading directly to Shrek Academy, they unexpectedly came to the famous auction house in Soto City. Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but feel confused, "Flanders, what are we doing here?"

Flanders smiled and explained frankly: "Xiaogang, to be honest, Shrek Academy is now overcrowded and short of funds. But with so many talented children, how can I not accept them? I will train them even if I have to sell everything I have."

As soon as he finished speaking, the waiter of the auction house came forward with a smile, "Welcome, my two distinguished guests. Are you looking to buy something, or do you have something valuable that you would like us to auction?"

Flanders answered without hesitation: "Consignment auction."

The waiter immediately led the two of them into a luxurious living room. Soon, a middle-aged man came in and greeted them warmly, "Hello, I am the person in charge of the auction. Do you have anything to auction?"

Flanders took a deep breath and reluctantly took out three soul bones from his arms. These soul bones were his savings over the years, and each contained powerful energy, which was a priceless treasure for a soul master. But at this moment, for the future of Shrek Academy and those talented children, he had to reluctantly give them up.

"These are three soul bones. I hope you can arrange the auction as soon as possible." There was a hint of determination in Flanders' voice.

The middle-aged man took the soul bones, and a glimmer of surprise flashed in his eyes. He obviously also recognized the extraordinary value of these soul bones, and nodded quickly to assure: "Don't worry, we will arrange the auction as soon as possible. These soul bones will definitely be sold at a high price."

Yu Xiaogang watched all this silently from the side, and couldn't help but admire Flanders' determination and sacrifice.

As a mentor of the academy, he felt that he could not just sit there and watch. So, he slowly took out a notebook from his arms, with the cover reading, "Notes on Advancing Common Martial Spirits to Rare Martial Spirits - Written by Yu Xiaogang".

The person in charge of the auction house was instantly upset when he saw the notebook. He recognized that this person was Yu Xiaogang, the most outstanding theoretical master in the Tiandou Empire, who had solved the problems encountered by soul masters in reshaping their soul rings many times in the past ten years. At this moment, Yu Xiaogang actually took out his martial soul advancement notebook, which was a priceless treasure!

"Respected Lord Yu Xiaogang, this note is too precious. We need three days to publicize it nationwide to ensure the best price." The head of the auction house said respectfully.

Yu Xiaogang nodded to show his understanding. Flanders patted him on the shoulder and laughed, "You are so nice, Xiaogang!"

After the two of them waited for several hours at the auction house, the person in charge of the auction pushed the door open and walked in with a gold soul card in his hand: "Mr. Flanders, your three soul bones have been auctioned off. Here are the gold soul coins you earned. We have recharged them into this gold soul card. I look forward to working with you again."

Flanders took the Gold Soul Card and nodded with satisfaction: "Let's go back to the academy."

With a lot of harvest, the two of them set out on the journey back to Shrek Academy.

Inside Shrek Academy, Zhao Wuji was sweating profusely and lying on the ground panting. He shouted to the group of energetic students around him,

"Little monsters, wait a minute, let me rest for a while before continuing the assessment."

He has already gone through several intense tests in succession. Although each student's strength is as small as an ant, their numbers are large, and the accumulated strength is enough to make this level 76 Soul Sage feel exhausted.

"Teacher, can we start the assessment?" a student asked impatiently. Zhao Wuji took a deep breath and forced himself to be alert.

"Come, let's start the assessment."

After countless fierce battles, Zhao Wuji was finally knocked to the ground by this group of young guys. He lay on the ground, gasping for breath.

"No, no, I'm so tired."

At this moment, Flanders came back excitedly and shouted loudly,

"Old Zhao, look who I brought you!"

After looking around, he did not see Zhao Wuji lying on the ground.

"Old Zhao, where have you been hiding?" Zhao Wuji raised his hands with difficulty and struggled to sit up from the ground.

"Here I am, tired as a dog."

Flanders laughed loudly upon seeing this, and walked up to him and patted Zhao Wuji on the shoulder.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you so tired?" Zhao Wuji smiled bitterly.

"You said you would conduct strict assessments on the students, but these little guys are more powerful than each other. I can hardly handle them."

Flanders touched his nose and smiled awkwardly.

"Uh, well, that's exactly what I said."

Then, he turned to the students who were waiting in line for the test and announced loudly,

"Today's assessment ends here. Everyone go back and have a good rest. We will continue the assessment tomorrow." The students left one after another, expressing their understanding and looking forward to tomorrow's assessment.

As night fell, Zhao Wuji's painful groans could be heard from his room: "Ah! Ah! Be gentler!"

In the original novel, it was Tang San who helped Zhao Wuji take out the hidden weapons one by one with his superb Tang Sect skills.

However, since there were many students waiting for the assessment in the academy and time was tight, although Zhao Wuji was injured by a hidden weapon, he felt that his injury was not serious, so he strongly requested to continue the assessment first and deal with these "small matters" after the assessment was over.

As a result, under the cover of night, Zhao Wuji's howls of pain were heard from his room as Yu Xiaogang urgently treated his hidden weapon wounds, creating this strange scene.

Yu Xiaogang said calmly, "No, you have been deeply penetrated by a hidden weapon. The blood clots inside must be completely removed, otherwise there will be sequelae."

Flanders frowned and said, "Which little bastard dared to hurt someone with a hidden weapon?"

Zhao Wuji smiled bitterly, "It was a young man named Tang San. His hidden weapon was able to break my guardian body's Qi."

"Master, please finish it quickly, we still have something important to discuss."

With the last scream, Yu Xiaogang finally removed the last hidden weapon from Zhao Wuji's body. The room returned to calm, but Zhao Wuji's forehead was covered with sweat.
