Spirit Hall Stole My Disciples, I Led Tianshui Academy to Victory

After transmigrating into the Douluo Continent, Song Ling binds to a Mentor System—only to discover it follows the Yu Xiaogang template, dooming him to remain stuck at level thirty until age fifty. Left with no choice, he spends two and a half years painstakingly nurturing the Shrek Seven Monsters, pushing their cultivation far beyond their original trajectory. He even risks his life to obtain immortal herbs for them, enduring every hardship solely to complete the system's mission. But half a year before the Spirit Master Competition, the Spirit Hall swoops in to claim the fruits of his labor. Master Yu Xiaogang descends as an elder of the Spirit Hall, demanding the mentorship rights over the Seven Monsters with a single sentence. To Song Ling's shock, the disciples he raised with his own hands stand behind Yu Xiaogang and coldly ask: "Teacher, you're only level thirty—what right do you have to teach us?" Faced with such ingratitude, Song Ling regrets nothing more than having been blinded by the mission. He promptly turns his back on them and joins Tianshui Academy. Six months later, at the Spirit Master Competition, Song Ling leads Tianshui Academy—a school with an unremarkable track record—through a ruthless rampage from the preliminaries straight into the finals. There, his opponents are none other than his former disciples. And Song Ling crushes them with overwhelming dominance, ending the match in a one-sided rout. Tianshui Academy claims the championship. As the Spirit Hall elders retreat with ashen faces, Song Ling faces the Seven Monsters and delivers a single parting line: "What you owe me, I will take back with my own hands."
