Two weeks later.
Shrek Academy.
An unlicensed Advanced Soul Master Academy, located in the outskirts of Soto City in Barak Kingdom.
Claiming to only accept monsters as students, Shrek Academy has very strict conditions for admission.
Not above Twelve years old in age, at least level 21 soul power, best optimal soul rings of two yellow.
Achieving this level can easily get one into most of the Advanced Soul Master Academies, and even get some special privileges.
Because, an achievement of this level is considered top genius by most.
However,
This is the basic recruitment condition of Shrek Academy.
And even among this, further tests are carried out to select the best among this genius category, and then allowed admission into the Academy.
At the same time, this academy of boasts of many high-level soul masters as employed teachers, which includes more than two level 70+ Soul Saints and about four level 60+ Soul Emperors.
It is also because of this fact that...
Despite the outwardly shabby appearance of the academy, a considerable number of people appear every year during the recruitment period.
Although, whether all of the claims of this academy is a scam or not, only those who have applied for admission knows.
...
At this time, at the training grounds of Shrek Academy.
Four young men, two middle aged men and a middle aged woman were standing, with the young and the old groups opposite to each other.
Among the four young men, two of them can be considered quite handsome, the kind that are quite popular with women.
One of them had silver hair and green eyes, which looked like a peach blossom, and a frivolous smile on his face.
He is Oscar, a student at Shrek Academy who is famed as the only food-type auxiliary soul master with innate full soul power, in this era.
His martial soul is Sausage, and is currently a level 29 Soul Grandmaster at the age of fourteen.
For an auxiliary soul master, who are notorious for their slow training speed, Oscar's achievements are pretty impressive.
The other, older looking handsome young man was tall with broad shoulders, a head of long golden hair unrolling behind him, falling down nearly to his waist with no curls. He gives off a powerful impression.
Most eye catching were his eyes, they are a pair of evil eyes, both eyes unexpectedly have twin pupils.
He is Dai Mubai, who is also a student at Shrek Academy.
More importantly, he also has an another shocking identity.
He is the Second Prince of Star Dou Royal Family, and a candidate and competitor for the throne!
Originally, he should've undergone academy training and such in his own empire and the Royal Family funded academy, the Star Dou Royal Soul Master Academy!
But, because he is too outclassed by his other competitor, his elder brother Dai Weisi, due to almost half a dozen gap in age, and the fact that he is too afraid of death.
To avoid dying a dog's death and buy some time to practice properly...
Dai Mubai escaped from Star Dou Empire and came to Shrek Academy, which is rather inconspicuous, despite its title as a monster academy.
Although he escaped with the intention of training hard, his actions so far haven't been very convincing.
His martial soul is Evil-Eyed White Tiger, which is also the inherited martial soul of the Imperial Dai Family.
He is currently a level 37 Soul Elder at the age of fifteen.
Compared to these two handsome young men, the other two young men seemed not so pleasing to the eyes.
Not-so-pleasing is not the right word.
One of them had a fat and chubby appearance, with a green head cap covering his head, and green pupils. Overall, he gave off a somewhat cute feeling, if you ignore his restless and flushed expression.
He is Ma Hongjun, who is the disciple of the Dean of Shrek Academy.
His martial soul is Evil Fire Phoenix, and is currently a level 27 Soul Grandmaster at the age of less than 12.
Then came the last young man.
He had a rather plain appearance, not handsome, but not ugly either.
He had a slim and fit body, and a pair of calm and thoughtful eyes, constantly observing his surroundings silently.
He is Tang San, who had arrived at this academy almost six years ago, after being shamed and humiliated by being hung naked at Nuoding Junior Academy.
Despite the loss of Blue Silver Empress bloodline, he still managed to keep a relatively decent cultivation speed. Although it is unknown whether it will remain the same.
He is currently a level 29 Soul Grandmaster.
Although, Tang San seem to have a very gloomy expression for some reason.
The relationship between the four young men seemed pretty close, as they were chattering and laughing with each other.
"Silence and attention!"
A hook nosed bespectacled middle aged man shouted, getting the attention of the four young men.
"Good morning, Dean!"
Dai Mubai, Oscar and Ma Hongjun shouted in a loud voice, while Tang San followed in a normal tone.
Yes, the hook nosed bespectacled middle aged man is Flender, the current Dean and Founder of Shrek Academy!
The shorter, but, muscular man standing next to him was his trusted friend and a senior teacher at Shrek Academy.
Zhao Wuji is an extremely short and overly muscular. He has broad shoulders and wears a sleeveless jacket.
He is looking at the middle aged woman with an average appearance, standing next to Flender, with a very irritated look.
"Mn. I have called you all here today not for training, but because today might be an excellent opportunity for you all!"
Flender said with a mysterious look on his face.
"Don't keep it as a suspense, dean! Just tell us already! I bet you're going to take us to Great Fighting Spirit Arena again to make money for yourself!" Dai Mubai joked.
Oscar giggled, and Ma Hongjun was also holding back his laughter.
Only Tang San kept looking at the middle aged woman with a complicated look.
"Enough! This is not about that! Today, Xiaogang's father will be visiting here! In case you don't know, that person is a one of the strongest people in the world, Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen!"
As soon as Flender said this, there was a silence in the area.
The four young men, as well as Flender and Zhao Wuji also looked at the middle aged woman.
The middle aged woman had a complicated and awkward expression on her face.
Especially when she saw Tang San looking at her, she had a stiff expression.
Flender patted the plain woman on her shoulder with concern.
"Xiaogang, be cheerful! I heard that those from Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect were investigating about your case! Since your father is coming here, maybe he might've found a solution to your problem!"
"Mn." The woman, or rather, Yu Xiaogang lightly nodded.
Yes! The middle aged woman with a very plain appearance is Yu Xiaogang.
For unknown reasons, just as Yu Xiaogang had left Nuoding City with Tang San six years ago, he became a she.
Basically, he experienced gender bender!
As if that wasn't enough, he, or rather she seems to be cursed by something unknown!
On top of that, his martial soul developed an uncontrollable ability, akin to aphrodisiac mist. A very potent one at that.
When Yu Xiaogang is in an agitated state, this ability will inexplicably activate and affect the men around him/her. Even the caster Yu Xiaogang is affected and lose sanity and consciousness.
Even a certain white haired Infinity God wouldn't have known that, his simple magic rune that only had the function of changing gender, would have such effects on Yu Xiaogang's Luo Sanpao!
But obviously, there seems to be something else involved.
Six years ago, a very unfortunate tragedy happened to Yu Xiaogang!
After leaving Nuoding city, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang encountered a band of thieves, among which, there was a soul master above level 30.
Because of Yu Xiaogang's nervousness at that time, the aphrodisiac ability went out of control!
With Tang San's experience and sixth sense from his past life, he managed to escape.
But that was not the case for Yu Xiaogang, who was affected by his own ability.
And he went through a tragedy that was never supposed to happen to him.
A similar tragedy happened again about two years ago.
Yu Xiaogang is mentally instable now. His mind is filled with all sorts of negative emotions.
So much so that, a certain corrupt God took a glance at him.
If not for his pathetic talent, this might've being a grand fortune for him.
Seeing the dull look on his friend's face, Flender tried to change the subject.
"Anyhow, a top Titled Douluo is coming to our academy! Since you're all technically students of Xiaogang, Thunder Douluo might give you all some guidance and share some training experience!"
"Oh!!" Oscar and Ma Hongjun looked excited.
On the other hand,
Tang San and Dai Mubai secretly looked at each other with unknown meaning in their eyes.
...
After a while.
In a hidden corner, far away from Flender and others.
Tang San and Dai Mubai looked at each other with tense looks.
"Xiao San, what do we do now? Could your teacher's father have found out our involvement in that incident two years ago?" Dai Mubai asked in a nervous tone.
"I don't know! Hopefully not!" Tang San had an ugly expression right now.
"Damn it! Why do I have to go through something like this?! That fucking plain woman and her damn drugging ability! I was forced to do that to a plain bitch like her! I am obviously the victim here!" Dai Mubai cursed in anger.
"..." Tang San didn't know what to say, since he is also in a similar situation.
That day, obviously both he and Dai Mubai were trying to rescue Yu Xiaogang, after he/she was targeted by a trio of perverts who are quite known in Soto city.
Who knew, Yu Xiaogang's aphrodisiac mist ability would go out of control at that time. Tang San had a PTSD at that time from six years ago.
"Boss Dai, I have a few guesses about how the curse on my teacher works." Tang San said slowly.
"Really, Xiao San?" Dai Mubai looked surprised.
"Yes. Since it has happened twice and there are a lot of similarities, it's not hard to understand." Tang San said.
"Oh? As expected of you!" Dai Mubai praised.
"First of all, what I noticed is that, my teacher will give birth to the same number of newborns as the number of men he was *ahem* did that by." Tang San said.
"What?!" Dai Mubai was shocked.
"It's true! Six years ago, there were six men involved in that incident. And one year later, he was forced to give birth to six children, all at once. Sextuplets!"
"..." Dai Mubai.
"The last time there five men that did that to teacher, which included... us both. The number of newborns she gave birth to is..." Tang San said in a gloomy tone.
"... Five.." Dai Mubai muttered as his face went pale.
"Don't tell me! Among those newborns, there is one with our blood?! No, how is that even possible?!" Dai Mubai obviously didn't want to believe in this possibility.
"Boss Dai, there is another fact that pushes this guess into confirmed truth."
"??" Dai Mubai.
"Boss Dai, have you ever felt yourself losing a level of soul power inexplicably?" Tang San asked.
"... I did. About two years... ago..." Dai Mubai's face was bloodless.
Two years ago, such a thing inexplicably happened, and he had to train extra hard for a couple of months to recover that level of soul power.
"I too experienced that, Boss Dai. I heard that, for every child born by teacher, his soul power will decrease by one level."
"If my guess is correct, whatever that curse is, it's using our soul power to empower the child that... carries our bloodline."
When Tang San said this, his face was very gloomy.
Ever since he became Yu Xiaogang's disciple, he seems to be plagued by misfortune.
His father went missing and couldn't be found at all!
As if the humiliation at Nuoding city wasn't enough. He was forced to... do that to his teacher Yu Xiaogang two years ago.
Just thinking about it makes him want to puke.
When he tried to kill those newborns, they were protected by some kind of magic power, blocking all attacks and nullifying all poisons.
He couldn't even cover up the source of his unwilling crime.
And when he went to get his second soul ring at level 20, a misfortune happened again.
After he had just absorbed the soul ring for his Blue Silver Grass, he came across a blue haired beautiful woman who made him feel very friendly.
She gave him a very close feeling, as if she were his family.
But who knew, under her gentle expression, there was such a cruel and ruthless woman.
Tang San didn't know what method that woman used to control him.
He was rendered unconscious for a while. And when he woke up, his Clear Sky Hammer martial soul inexplicably had two white soul rings.
Two ten-year-old soul rings!
His Clear Sky Hammer martial soul was basically half ruined.
Thinking of all the misfortunes he has been experiencing for the past six years, Tang San had a gloomy face.
'Yu Xiaogang, you brought so much bad luck to me! If you weren't my teacher...'
....
A/N: Personally, I cringed a bit writing this chapter. Although I'm setting it up to torture Yu Xiaogang, I still felt a bit disgusted.
Now I regret setting up Yu Xiaogang for a gender bender plot early on. This level of gross feeling is something I only felt when I read some peculiar chinese anti-Tang San Douluo fics.
