111: Successful deception
Flanders asked with a smile: "What are your names, little friends?"By asking this question, Flanders mainly wanted to confirm the identities of the two people, otherwise it would be very embarrassing if he recognized the wrong person.
Tang San said: "My name is Tang San, and this is my companion, Xiao Wu."
Hearing this, Flanders smiled even more.
That's right.
"You are not locals, are you?" Flanders asked with a smile.
"No, we came to Soto City mainly to find a soul master academy."
For some reason, Tang San always felt that this man's smile was a little weird, but he couldn't tell where the problem came from.
"Soul Master Academy?"
Flanders pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Which college are you looking for? Tell me about it, maybe I can give you some advice."
Xiao Wu quickly said, "Have you heard of Shrek Academy, boss?"
"oh?"
Flanders looked them up and down carefully, "Shrek Academy, that's not a place that ordinary people can enter."
Tang San was delighted and asked hurriedly: "Do you know Shrek Academy?"
"I know. How could I not know?" Flanders said calmly, "But Shrek Academy's admissions standards are very high. They only accept monsters."
"I have heard of this, but the strange thing is that we asked around in the city and no one seems to have heard of this academy." Tang San said helplessly.
Flanders smiled and said, "Shrek Academy is not in the city at all, and because there are so few students, most people naturally don't know about it."
"Not in the city?"
Tang San and the other two suddenly understood.
No wonder.
Xiao Wu asked: "Boss, can you tell us about Shrek Academy?"
"Okay, that's fine."
Then, Flanders introduced: "I can't really tell how many years Shrek Academy has been established, but I only know that their admission and graduation standards are very high."
"First of all, the admissions standards. The minimum requirements are that the age must not exceed thirteen years old, the soul power level must not be lower than level twenty-one, and the two soul rings must not be less than a hundred years old."
"This is just the preliminary selection. After passing the preliminary selection, you still have to take part in the subsequent assessments. If you fail the assessments, you will not be able to enroll."
"Then there are the graduation standards. Before the age of 20, your soul power level must reach 40 or above, which is the Soul Sect level. Only then will the academy allow you to graduate."
Xiao Wu muttered, "Uncle, we all know what you said. Can you tell me some useful information, such as the supporting facilities of the college?"
Flanders shook his head calmly and said, "Forget it. Let's not talk about whether you can pass the assessment. Even if you pass, I don't think you will be willing to enroll."
Since he knew clearly that the two of them were ambitious, Flanders naturally would not think that he could trick them into enrolling in school with just a few words.
First, play hard to get and lower their expectations.
"Why?" Tang San asked with some confusion.
Flanders explained: "Because Shrek Academy focuses on training elite soul masters, in order to ensure absolute autonomy, they rejected all sponsorship from nobles and even the country."
Tang San asked: "Does this have anything to do with whether we are willing to enroll?"
Tang San was not a child, he naturally knew that once the academy accepted sponsorship from the nobility or the country, the nature of the academy might change.
But he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Instead, he felt it was pretty good.
Only by ensuring absolute autonomy can the original intention of establishing the college be maintained. Otherwise, students will be crammed in here and there.
Isn't that just pure chaos?
That kind of messy academy was not the place Tang San wanted to go. Instead, he was very interested in this real elite training model.
Flanders smiled and said, "In other words, this Shrek Academy is very poor."
"Except for the faculty and education level, Shrek Academy is incomparable to other high-level soul master academies."
"After all, there aren't any investors behind Shrek."
Hearing this, Tang San fell silent.
Very poor.
He instantly understood why the other party said they were not willing to enroll.
A very poor college naturally has no resources to speak of.
No resources.
No matter how strong the teaching staff is, no matter how strong the teaching ability is, what's the use? Apart from the guarantee of the spirit ring, there is no other guarantee.
But the soul ring guarantee, he should be able to get it in any high-level soul master academy, right? Then what is the meaning of this academy?
Sure enough, I was tricked again, damn master.
All resources will be concentrated on them.
Shrek has shit resources.
Flanders naturally knew what they were thinking, but he said calmly: "So if you just want an excellent learning environment and more resources, you don't have to consider Shrek Academy."
In fact, when he said this, Flanders was a little nervous, because he was afraid that the two little guys would really not go if they got too excited.
After thinking for a while, Tang San asked: "Senior, I heard you just say that there are nobles and kingdoms willing to invest in Shrek Academy, but they refused, right?"
Hearing this, Flanders finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he said, "That's right."
Tang San continued: "Since there are nobles and kingdoms willing to invest, it means that Shrek Academy should still have some merits, right? Otherwise, who would be willing to spend money to invest in them?"
Flanders smiled and said, "Little guy, you are quite perceptive."
Hearing his praise, a smile immediately appeared on Tang San's face.
It seems that he guessed it right.
Since it has been recognized by many nobles and even the kingdom, this Shrek Academy should not be as bad as he imagined.
However, the other party did not mention the advantages of the college.
Flanders said: "The biggest advantage of Shrek is that it has fewer students, and precisely because of the small number of students, each student can receive the most perfect training."
"Let me put it this way. If you can pass the test, your future teachers will at least be Soul Emperors, or even Soul Saints."
"You have to know that no matter which academy you go to, Soul Emperor and Soul Saint level teachers are extremely precious. They will never teach you personally."
"The strength and teaching ability of high-level spirit masters are naturally different from those of low-level spirit masters. It is not an exaggeration to say that there is a huge difference between them."
"I don't need to tell you what the results will be for students with the same talent under the guidance of a Soul Saint teacher and a Soul Sect teacher, right?"
Tang San nodded. If put this way, he might understand.
Flanders continued, "Moreover, the level of graduates from other high-level soul master academies is uneven. But Shrek Academy is different. As long as you can graduate, you will definitely reach Soul Sect or above."
"Except for Shrek, no other spirit master academy dares to guarantee this, even the Spirit Hall Academy is the same."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Of course, the prerequisite is that you can graduate.
Flanders would definitely not tell them about the risk, as he was afraid of scaring the two away.
Hearing this, Tang San's eyes lit up.
That's right.
If Shrek Academy did not have any advantages, how could those nobles and kingdoms be willing to invest in them.
Isn't this a losing business?
After graduation, you will become a Soul Sect.
According to his research, there really is no college that can guarantee that.
So, this Shrek Academy.
It's really good.
Although we are a bit poor, we still have to be result-oriented.
You can give it a try.
But what Tang San didn't expect was that with his talent.
At the age of nine, he was already in his twenties. In which academy could he not reach the Soul Sect level before the age of twenty? Not to mention the Soul Sect, it was not difficult to become a Soul King.
He was simply misled by Flanders.
Under Flanders' deliberate guidance, he had ignored his own factors and focused all his attention on the so-called result.
To put it bluntly, I was fooled.
But it's not his fault.
Although he was not young in his previous life, he had been in the sect since he was a child and rarely came into contact with outsiders. How could he understand these tricks?
Having made up his mind, Tang San once again focused on the crystal, "Senior, what would you ask for in exchange for giving me this crystal at a low price?"
Seeing this, Flanders also made up his mind.
It seems that the deception was successful.
He smiled and said, "I have a shortcoming, which is that I like to invest. Although I have never made much money, I just can't change this bad habit."
"If you can enter Shrek Academy and promise to do three things for me after graduation, I can give you this crystal for free."
"What?"
Tang San looked at him in confusion, obviously not understanding his intention.
free?
Is there such a good thing in the world?
Flanders smiled and said, "You are still young, so it is normal that you don't understand. But have you ever thought that once you graduate from Shrek, you will all be soul masters at least at the Soul Sect level?"
"I exchanged a piece of crystal that is of no use to me for the promises of two soul masters. Do you think I lost or gained?"
Tang San suddenly realized that the other party was waiting for him here.
Simply put, it's investing in their future.
After thinking for a while, Tang San said: "I can promise you, but there is a premise. These three things cannot violate my principles."
"certainly!"
Flanders said cheerfully: "But I also have a prerequisite, that is, this crystal can only be given to you after you join Shrek."
"After all, I have to consider the risks. What if you run away with the crystal? I'm afraid I won't even be able to find you."
Tang San expressed his understanding of this.
This is already pretty good. It's good enough that the other party didn't wait until they graduated to give it to them.
But Tang San would not agree to that.
Since it is an investment in the future, how can you wait until the future to get a reward? Then this becomes a zero-risk investment.
"Okay, then it's settled." Tang San said with a smile.
Flanders said, "Okay, words are not enough, let's write a document."
Tang San did not refuse this.
Afterwards, after the document was drawn up and both parties signed it, Flanders told the two the location of Shrek Academy, and the two left.
