Devil Orb Chu Ye

Zhulong could not help sneering. "Do I need to rely on a child like Chu Ye to put you down?"

"You think far too highly of yourself."

Xuan Zi was at a loss for words. "You!"

Zhulong curled his lip.

"'You' what?"

"I brought up this disciple because he stood his ground by Sea God Lake and refused to retreat. Even when I came out of seclusion, he remained calm."

"A student who can keep his composure in the face of danger deserves more resources, not to be left to fend for himself in the outer court."

Xuan Zi could only look to the other elders, hoping someone would take his side.

But Yan Shaozhe and the others avoided Xuan Zi's gaze.

In their eyes, Senior Zhulong had performed better than Xuan Zi in this battle.

They had also seen Chu Ye's bearing, and it truly was extraordinary.

Although Chu Ye was a Devil Orb, he was also unquestionably a devoted fan of Shrek. His loyalty to Shrek was beyond doubt.

Thus, in this matter, Yan Shaozhe actually leaned more toward rewarding students like Chu Ye.

Seeing that no one was on his side, Xuan Zi was at a loss.

At that moment, Mu En also stepped forward.

When Da Ming, Er Ming, and Sea God Tang San appeared, he knew something must have happened to Wang Dong.

So he had asked Wang Dong about the whole affair.

Now, with Chu Ye's reward under discussion, it was the perfect time to tell everyone.

"As for Chu Ye, we'll do as Zhulong said."

Xuan Zi still wanted to speak, but Mu En shot him a glare.

"What you don't know is that Si Snake and Wu Horse also infiltrated our Shrek Academy."

Everyone was shocked. "What? Mu En, is that true?"

Everyone was astonished, because no one had noticed it at all.

If that were true, it was far too terrifying.

Mu En nodded.

"Si Snake and Wu Horse's target this time was Wang Dong. Even when faced with two Titled Douluo, Chu Ye still stepped forward to protect her. Although Chu Ye was knocked unconscious and Wang Dong was subdued, Chu Ye's spirit deserves to be encouraged."

"Wang Dong's identity is extraordinary. I cannot reveal the details, but I can tell you that her life was never in danger this time."

"According to her, Wu Horse and the others said they had come here to treat her instead."

Hearing this, everyone understood why Mu En was willing to let Chu Ye enter the inner court.

After all, even the elders present might not have had the courage to face two members of the Zodiac Temple alone.

Chu Ye had quite a knack for causing trouble, but he did not flinch in the slightest when facing an enemy.

Everyone present could not help marveling.

But Xuan Zi still refused to accept it.

"If it's true that Chu Ye saved someone, then I have no objection."

"But how could those villains from the Zodiac Temple possibly do a good deed?"

Everyone present voiced their agreement.

Zhulong sneered.

"Can't bad people do good things? Can't good people do bad things?"

"I'm starting to suspect that Xuan Zi is a spy the Zodiac Temple planted in Shrek."

"Doesn't everyone say the Zodiac Temple has a bull too?"

"If you ask me, that bull might just be you, Xuan Zi—the Godly Taotie Bull."

Xuan Zi grew even angrier. "That's outright slander!"

Black lines appeared on Mu En's forehead.

He had thought Zhulong was levelheaded before.

Now it seemed he was a little childish too.

He waved a hand.

"Put that way, it's indeed hard for you to believe."

"I also received a piece of information. Bei Bei and Tang Ya brought back a child named Huo Yuhao. He was injured in the Star Dou Forest, and Wu Horse treated him as well."

"Wu Horse even gave Huo Yuhao a letter of recommendation, telling him to enroll at Shrek Academy."

Mu En recounted the entire course of events, including the child Huo Yuhao's aptitude.

Xuan Zi frowned.

"Mu En, we can't let Huo Yuhao enroll in the academy!"

"If you ask me, Huo Yuhao is definitely a spy for the Zodiac Temple."

Elder Zhuang, a healing-type Titled Douluo, frowned.

"If Huo Yuhao were a spy, he couldn't possibly have told us that Wu Horse treated him and gave him a letter of recommendation. What spy would be that stupid?"

Xuan Zi was left speechless.

Mu En nodded as well.

"Which is why I let the child enroll in the academy directly."

"Under the academy's watch, I believe that even if there is something wrong with him, we can keep the risk within reasonable bounds."

After saying all this, Mu En could not help sighing.

"I'm old. The future belongs to you young people."

"This Huo Yuhao, I feel he has the potential to change our Shrek Academy."

"Come to think of it, today should be the day he enrolls."

Although everyone present trusted Mu En's judgment, in their view, Huo Yuhao was eleven years old with only rank eleven Soul Power. He simply could not carry Shrek Academy.

Watching their reactions, Zhulong laughed inwardly. They still don't understand just how valuable a child of destiny is.

He could not help reflecting.

Besides earning Fate Points, this plan to bring about Shrek's collapse was also meant to establish an identity for himself at Shrek.

Only by going through danger together could he establish the identity of Torch Dragon Douluo at Shrek.

Now, it was clear that Mu En's attitude toward him had completely changed.

And Xuan Zi had already begun to fall behind.

Zhulong looked in the direction of Shrek Academy's outer court.

I'll leave the rest to you.

Outer court.

After completing the enrollment procedures,

Tang Ya and Bei Bei led Huo Yuhao through Shrek Square.

A statue of Sea God Tang San had once stood in the center of the square. Now, however, its pedestal stood bare; the academy had not yet had time to make a replacement.

"I didn't expect so much to happen at the academy in just one day."

As the three of them marveled,

an exceptionally handsome figure walked toward the place where Sea God Tang San's statue had stood.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on him.

"Look, it's Senior Chu Ye, the strongest student in the outer court."

"What's he doing here?"

"Is he going to stir up trouble again?"

Tang Ya's eyes lit up when she saw Chu Ye. Stars appeared in them as she said, "It's him!"

A flash of envy passed through Bei Bei's eyes. When will Xiao Ya look at me like that?

Huo Yuhao was bewildered. "Brother Bei Bei, who's that senior? Everyone seems to be paying attention to him."

Before Bei Bei could explain, Tang Ya said excitedly,

"That's Senior Chu Ye! He broke through to become a Six-Ring Soul Emperor before he even turned fifteen."

"I just don't know why he's never entered the inner court. Otherwise, he should have been one of the Shrek Seven Devils long ago."

Huo Yuhao's jaw dropped.

A Soul Emperor before fifteen? Was he even human?

Huo Yuhao was eleven now, and only at rank eleven.

He would have to advance twelve ranks every year to catch up to this senior.

The gap was even greater than the one between a human and a dog.

Sensing Huo Yuhao's discouragement, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm patted his own chest.

"Little Yuhao, don't worry. With my help, you'll definitely surpass him in the future."

Electrolux: "..."

Even he wasn't confident. He had no idea where this worm got his confidence.

By now, Huo Yuhao had figured out that Brother Sky Dream just loved to brag.

He nodded halfheartedly.

Just then, a clamor rose around them.

Huo Yuhao looked toward the sound.

In the center of the square,

Chu Ye had stepped onto the pedestal.

Under the gazes of all the students,

Chu Ye sensed Huo Yuhao and the others looking at him, but his expression remained calm.

He laughed inwardly. The show is about to begin again.

Then the Space Soul Tool on his wrist flashed.

Boom!

A statue nearly as tall as the Sea God's statue appeared out of thin air atop the pedestal.

It was as though his statue had belonged on that pedestal all along.

A moment later, the square erupted.

"Am I seeing things? That statue looks like Senior Chu Ye."

"Holy shit! As expected of Senior Chu Ye. He even dares to do something like that."

"I bet the enforcement team will be here soon, right?"

No matter how much Tang Ya admired Chu Ye, she could not help feeling stunned.

"Senior Chu Ye put a statue of himself in Lord Sea God's place? Is he serious?"

Bei Bei's face turned pale as well.

He would not have dared do such a thing even if someone beat him to death.

Although Huo Yuhao did not know much about Shrek Academy, surely this was an act of blasphemy against the Sea God?

To his surprise,

Chu Ye was smiling, as though he were not worried at all.
