He's Different!

"Chu Ye, what on earth are you doing?"

His voice arrived before he did.

Yan Shaozhe appeared in the square in an instant, his face livid.

He had come on Mu En's orders to announce Chu Ye's admission to the inner court and hold him up as an example, urging the many outer court disciples to strive harder.

As he saw it, this was a chance to show his face as dean of the Martial Soul Department.

But when he arrived, the sight that greeted him sent his blood pressure soaring.

Chu Ye was smiling as he said:

"Dean Yan, you've come at just the right time."

"I saw that this statue's spot had been empty for a day, spoiling the view."

"As a member of Shrek Academy, I have an obligation to fill the gap in the academy square."

"There's no need to be touched, Dean. This is what I should do as a disciple of Shrek Academy."

Hearing that and looking at the enormous statue of Chu Ye beside him!

Yan Shaozhe nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood.

He pointed at Chu Ye and said:

"You should know that I came today on Mu En's orders to commend you and allow you into the inner court."

"Yesterday, two Titled Douluo of the Zodiac Temple, Si Snake and Wu Horse, infiltrated the academy. In such a desperate situation, you fought both villains alone and protected the disciple Wang Dong."

"Senior Torch Dragon Douluo personally nominated you to be rewarded with admission to the inner court."

"And yet you don't know how to appreciate it, and you've even desecrated our ancestor!"

"No one can save you today!"

All the new and senior students could not help but tremble.

After all, in their eyes, even someone as gifted as Chu Ye was probably finished this time.

Chu Ye really had gone mad this time.

His gross disrespect toward that lord had probably angered the academy.

Bei Bei and Tang Ya were also astonished. They had not expected Chu Ye to be so formidable that he dared face the Zodiac Temple's Titled Douluo alone.

Huo Yuhao was even more surprised.

I didn't expect Senior Wu Horse to be a Titled Douluo, or to have infiltrated Shrek Academy.

And Senior Chu Ye is just too outrageous. He dared attack a Titled Douluo?

As for Wang Dong, she should be a key figure too!

Huo Yuhao quietly made a note of it.

After all, he had always wondered why Wu Horse had made him join Shrek Academy, and just what the Zodiac Temple was plotting.

In a clash between such great powers, the slightest misstep could very well leave him, Huo Yuhao, shattered to pieces.

Therefore, he too had to find an opportunity to uncover the reason behind it all.

Faced with the furious Yan Shaozhe, Chu Ye asked in return:

"Dean, why was this pedestal erected back then?"

Yan Shaozhe snorted.

"Why, to commemorate our ancestor, Sea God Tang San, from ten thousand years ago, of course."

"He made immense contributions to the continent and was also the pride of Shrek."

At that, Chu Ye chuckled softly.

"As far as I know, our ancestor Sea God Tang San of the first Shrek Seven Monsters reached rank 40 at the age of fifteen."

"But I, Chu Ye, am already a rank 62 Power Attack System Battle Soul Emperor before the age of fifteen."

"I also possess Innate Full Soul Power, Twin Body Martial Soul, and Ultimate Fire."

"Our predecessors could erect this statue, so why can't I, their descendant, do the same?"

"I will become a god in the future. I've merely put my statue here in advance."

"Is there a problem?"

????

The many students were full of question marks as they listened.

Senior, what are you saying? Do you even know?

What do you mean, you merely put your statue here in advance?

Yan Shaozhe's face darkened as well.

Chu Ye was completely swapping concepts. After all, no matter how great his talent was, he still benefited from the progress of the times.

Even if he had surpassed the Sea God at the same age, who could guarantee that he would become a god in the future?

Who knew how many geniuses had fallen? Yet not a single person had become a god in the past ten thousand years. Even Mu En, powerful as he was, remained stuck at rank 99.

What gives you, Chu Ye, such confidence?

He felt that if he let Chu Ye keep talking, he would die of anger.

"You wretch, spouting utter nonsense! How arrogant and conceited!"

He grabbed Chu Ye by the shoulder and said:

"Your promotion to the inner court is canceled, effective immediately!"

"You're coming with me to the Sea God Pavilion. You can explain those twisted arguments of yours to all the elders there!"

With that, Yan Shaozhe unleashed his Soul Power and picked Chu Ye up, about to leave at once.

But Chu Ye showed not the slightest sign of panic.

He turned back, flashing a mouthful of white teeth, and smiled as he addressed all the new and senior students:

"Junior brothers and sisters who have just enrolled, the reason I put on this show today was to tell you that our academy's motto says it well: those who dare not cause trouble are mediocrities."

"But remember this: causing trouble doesn't mean bullying the weak, much less kneeling before so-called authority."

"From now on, here at Shrek Academy, if you run into bullying you can't settle or stubborn old-timers who throw their weight around because of their seniority, go ahead and deal with them."

"If you can't settle it, then give them my name, Chu Ye. I'll take care of it for you."

Chu Ye's voice lingered in the air.

But he and Yan Shaozhe had long since vanished into the sky.

In the distance.

Yan Shaozhe nearly tumbled out of the sky and crashed to the ground. He glared at Chu Ye and said:

"What are you trying to do?"

"One more menace like you, and wouldn't you two turn Shrek upside down?"

Chu Ye said innocently, "Dean Yan, I'm putting Shrek's principles into practice!"

Yan Shaozhe: "..."

Meanwhile, in the square.

Countless new students' eyes shone with fervor and admiration as they shouted:

"Senior Chu Ye is so cool!"

"Does giving his name really work?"

"Now that's a true monster!"

"I declare that Senior Chu Ye is my idol from now on!"

In the crowd, Huo Yuhao also clenched his fists.

Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocrities!

Don't bully the weak, and don't kneel before authority.

Huo Yuhao felt that those words had spoken straight from his heart.

If someone like Chu Ye had stood up back then at the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, how could he have ended up bullied to such an extent?

How could his mother have been tormented by that vicious duchess?

And how could Dai Huabin have dared be such a tyrannical, bullying dandy?

If Wu Horse had held first place in Huo Yuhao's heart before, then at this moment, Chu Ye held second.

As for Bei Bei and Sister Tang Ya, sorry.

Though they were good to him too, they could only take third and fourth place.

Bei Bei watched Chu Ye's departing figure, and a trace of bitterness welled up in his heart.

Though he had always been known as one of the Outer Court Twin Stars, there was always one person towering over the two of them: Chu Ye.

He could not live up to the saying, "Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocrities," and had always been a model student in everyone's eyes.

At that moment, Bei Bei came to realize that perhaps all he needed to make a breakthrough was one act of defiance against convention.

He looked at Tang Ya and said, "Xiao Ya, if I were like Senior Chu Ye, would you accept me?"

Tang Ya's eyes were shining, as though she had not heard a word Bei Bei said.

"Senior Chu Ye, he's different."

Hearing that, Bei Bei stood rooted to the spot like a stone statue.
