"Pfft—~!"

Zhao Wuji's whole body jerked violently.

A scorching sensation shot straight through his nerves to his head.

And that long crossbow bolt, before the astonished eyes of everyone present, went straight in.

Even Tang San was dumbfounded.

He had just accelerated, rolled, and fired on pure instinct.

It had all flowed in one seamless motion!

But Tang San had never expected Zhao Wuji to fail to defend against it.

The situation now seemed to be more than merely awkward.

It was getting out of hand.

Just as Tang San was trying to figure out how to explain himself,

Zhao Wuji yanked out the crossbow bolt.

With a "pfft," the pain made Zhao Wuji bare his teeth and grimace.

He forcibly endured it, turned around, and glared fiercely at Tang San.

"You brat, and at such a young age, you're already learning bad things!"

"All you use are these crooked tricks!"

"Our Shrek Academy will not accept a student like you."

"Mubai, expel him from Shrek Academy!"

Dai Mubai was instantly delighted. Aside from Zhao Wuji, he was probably the one who least wanted Tang San to join Shrek Academy.

He immediately answered loudly,

"Yes!"

His figure flashed, and he arrived directly beside Tang San.

"The Vice-Dean has asked you to leave Shrek Academy. If you know what's good for you, leave on your own."

Tang San looked utterly stunned.

"No, no, no, I can't leave."

His Godfather had insisted that he come to Shrek Academy.

If he could not even pass the entrance examination, how could he face his Godfather?

Dai Mubai's brows immediately furrowed.

"Then I'll have to help you!"

"Mubai, throw him out!"

Zhao Wuji angrily left those words behind before fleeing the scene at top speed.

That crossbow bolt seemed to be poisoned as well.

He had to treat the wound immediately.

The next instant, before Tang San could react,

Dai Mubai released his Soul Power and grabbed hold of him.

Then he swiftly dragged him away.

At that moment, Tang San suddenly remembered a letter his Godfather had once given him.

He had said that he knew the Dean of Shrek Academy.

If Tang San encountered any trouble, he only needed to hand that letter to him, and everything would be resolved.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly called out,

"Let go of me! I want to see Dean Flender!"

The moment he finished shouting, he realized that Dai Mubai had already brought him to the village entrance.

"You think you can see Dean Flender whenever you want?"

Dai Mubai looked at him with disdain.

"I advise you to leave quickly!"

As he spoke, he directly waved his fist.

With all his hidden weapons used up, Tang San immediately backed down.

Though he found this outcome extremely difficult to accept, he could only leave dejectedly.

His Godfather had said that once he finished handling his own matters, he would come to Shrek Academy to find him.

As the old saying went, a wise man knew when to yield.

Tang San could only place his hopes on Yu Xiaogang now.

Aside from Tang San, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong were all accepted.

But Xiao Wu was clearly somewhat downcast.

Everything had happened far too quickly.

She had not even had time to react.

Before she knew it, Tang San had been thrown out.

By the time she ran to the village entrance afterward, Tang San was already nowhere to be seen.

But then again, Tang San's underhanded moves had truly been inappropriate.

Combined with some of Tang San's absurd and shocking actions,

Xiao Wu's opinion of him was gradually declining as well.

That night, inside Zhao Wuji's room.

He was holding up a lamp, baring his teeth and grimacing as he applied medicine to his wound in an extremely awkward position.

The angle of that arrow had been far too tricky.

Even as a Soul Saint, he had never trained that particular area.

The defenses there were practically nonexistent, no different from an ordinary person's.

Throwing that brat out had absolutely been the right choice.

By the time he finished applying the medicine and changed clothes,

he was already drenched in sweat.

"Zhao Wuji!"

At that moment, a sudden voice made him freeze.

"Who is it?"

Zhao Wuji abruptly rose to his feet, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes.

His reputation in the Spirit Master World had not been very good in the past, and he had made quite a few enemies.

He had spent these years hiding away in Shrek Academy in relative peace.

He had never expected a powerful opponent to suddenly appear at a time like this.

"Get out here!"

A faint, almost imperceptible aura locked onto Zhao Wuji.

Without hesitation, he leaped through the window and went outside.

Being provoked so blatantly by an unknown opponent, combined with the frustration he had bottled up all day, made his fury surge.

Before long, he arrived in a forest outside Shrek Academy.

That trace of aura had disappeared here.

"Come out. I know you're here!"

Zhao Wuji shouted in a low voice.

At the same time, he immediately completed his Martial Soul Possession.

Seven soul rings rose and fell around his body, gleaming with dazzling light.

As his words fell, a black-clad figure slowly emerged from behind a large tree.

This person was completely shrouded in black, even wearing a black hood over his head.

From his appearance alone, Zhao Wuji could only tell that he was a tall man.

"Who are you?"

Zhao Wuji shouted coldly as he completed his Vajra Bear Martial Soul Possession.

The man in black did not answer him directly. He merely said blandly,

"To encounter the Immovable Bright King in such a small place, I simply wanted to spar with you."

"It's been a long time since I last loosened up."

A full nine soul rings silently appeared around him.

Two yellow, two purple, and five black.

Unlike Zhao Wuji's, the nine soul rings did not rise and fall.

They remained motionless at different points around the black-clad man's body, completely enveloping him.

His final soul ring in particular faintly glimmered with a trace of red amid its blackness.

"A Titled Douluo!"

After forcing out those words with difficulty, even Zhao Wuji's Immovable Bright King form began to tremble.

All the domineering presence in his earlier words vanished without a trace. Zhao Wuji hurriedly bent at the waist in salute.

"May I ask which senior has honored us with your presence? Please do not joke with a nobody like me."

At that moment, the man in black suddenly spoke coldly.

"Since you're here, come out."

With a flicker of movement, another person appeared beside Zhao Wuji.

It was none other than Flender, the Dean of Shrek Academy.

The tension on Zhao Wuji's face eased somewhat.

"Boss, th-this..."

Not only did Flender show no intention of fighting, he instead respectfully bowed to the man in black.

"May I ask how Zhao Wuji has offended you, Senior?"

The man in black wore an icy expression.

"Enough nonsense. Stand aside, or I'll beat you up too!"

Zhao Wuji looked utterly miserable.

"I truly don't understand how I offended you. Could you at least explain it first?"

Zhao Wuji was completely numb. Even if he was going to die, he wanted to know why.

Ding! The famous scene of Tang Hao beating Zhao Wuji has been detected! Chosen Encounter triggered! Encounter Entry: Tang Hao stared coldly at Zhao Wuji. "Why didn't you let my son join Shrek Academy?" The host may choose to modify the entry, thereby affecting the original outcome of this famous scene. Successfully altering it will grant a reward: 500 points of System Essence!

At that moment, the system's voice suddenly rang out in Ye Xian's mind as he lay resting in his dormitory.
