Chapter 527 Shrek Academy's First Defeat

And just as those nobles and wealthy merchants thought, apart from Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Dai Mubai who took the ninth-grade treasure medicine that could strengthen their foundation and rapidly increase their strength, the rest of the team members took the seventh-grade spiritual medicine that rapidly increased their strength at the cost of damaging their foundation!

As for the source of these spiritual herbs and precious medicines, we can only ask a certain unlucky family. After all, they lacked the strength and couldn't hide the news of their family possessing precious medicines like the Min clan! In addition, they didn't cultivate virtue in their daily lives, so even if their entire family was wiped out, no one would care!

Of course, because the Shrek Academy students' mental strength was not up to par, and because the price of these few seventh-grade spiritual herbs was not so obvious, everyone who took the spiritual herbs thought that they had taken ninth-grade treasures that could strengthen their foundation and cultivate their vitality. Therefore, they were all very grateful to Tang San, feeling that Tang San had given them a great opportunity!

As for when they will discover that Tang San has damaged their foundation, that will have to wait until their mental strength reaches the threshold to become a Title Douluo!

Miguel was aware of Tang San's opportunity, but he was worried that taking it away might cause a backlash in Tang San's luck, allowing Tang San to find an even better opportunity. Therefore, to avoid this situation, Miguel did not arrange for anyone to seize the opportunity.

After all, although a grade nine precious medicine can improve a person's aptitude, it is worlds apart from a divine herb. According to Miguel's estimate, the medicinal properties of two complementary grade nine precious medicines can at most make up for the losses caused by Tang San's childhood when he could not eat or wear enough clothes!

As for the damage caused by the stripping of the Blue Silver Emperor's bloodline, plus the damage to the Blue Silver Grass martial soul's origin caused by the soul ring, the two grade nine precious herbs were willing but unable to do anything about it!

In the original story, Tang San ate two immortal herbs and his soul power only increased by three levels. Now, after eating two grade nine precious herbs, his cultivation level during the competition is exactly the same as in the original story. How much of the medicinal power of these two precious herbs can be used to repair his own damage?

Getting back to the main point, after learning about Shrek Academy's actions, the nobles and wealthy merchants realized that Shrek Academy would inevitably suffer a major setback because of this, affecting the reputation of their businesses. Therefore, apart from the investments that had been agreed upon before the competition, Flander had not seen any of the other investments.

Even the nobles and wealthy merchants who were among the first to invest in Shrek Academy, after learning that the members of the Shrek team were indeed taking drugs to enhance their strength, tried their best to distance themselves from Shrek Academy, and even Flander disappeared!

Flander quickly learned the reason why nobles and wealthy merchants avoided him, but no matter how much Flander explained, no one believed that anyone could take out nine grade-nine precious herbs to share with their teammates and teachers!

In the end, Flander blamed everything on the Spirit Daily News, but he knew that the power behind the Spirit Daily News was something he couldn't afford to offend. So no matter how angry he was, he could only mutter a few sarcastic remarks about the Spirit Daily News behind its back.

Because Flander failed to secure sponsorships for Shrek Academy, and due to his poor management skills, Shrek Academy's finances became increasingly strained. Gradually, Flander began to consider ways to increase revenue and cut costs.

Shrek Academy's winning streak continued until they encountered Canghui Academy. In the original story, Canghui Academy was completely dumbfounded when faced with the seemingly overpowered Shrek Academy!

Shrek Academy was originally supposed to be severely punished, even disqualified from the competition, but thanks to Ning Fengzhi's efforts and the threat of the Pope's decree, the punishment for Shrek Academy ultimately came to nothing!

Because the members of the Canghui Academy team were very pragmatic, even the weakest of them had reached the level of a deep believer, so they received a lot of training from Miguel!

It was thanks to Miguel's strong training that the team members, even those with the lowest strength, reached level 49 in soul power, and those with the lowest mental strength reached the level of Soul Saint!
