While Zhou Yi was on paid leave because her teaching philosophy couldn't keep up with the development of the Shrek Academy, her old rival and love rival Mu Jin, was also having a hard time.

"Why do I feel so unhappy? Wasn't that Old Witch Zhou Yi dismissed? I don't feel happy at all..."

Like Zhou Yi, Mu Jin also drank alone in her loneliness, except that she was truly all alone.

From the moment she met Zhou Yi, Mu Jin had always lived in Zhou Yi's shadow, because Zhou Yi's Martial Soul was Red Dragon Martial Soul, and she had always been overshadowed.

She fought for the class monitor position, for the teacher's spot, and even for her boyfriend, but in the end, Fan Yu still chose Zhou Yi.

Mu Jin had always held a grudge and constantly opposed Zhou Yi. However, after Shrek began its reforms this year, Zhou Yi was finally replaced by the higher-ups.

However, Mu Jin was still very unwilling. After competing for more than ten years, she suddenly felt empty without a goal, and this year's number of new students was several times that of previous years.

However, the quality of the main channel did not improve; in fact, it declined, and Mu Jin also felt the pressure.

Mu Jin was initially very happy, but she was surprised to see her beloved Fan Yu rushing back without even saying hello.

She felt that she had almost forgotten what she had been fighting for all these years. She had only opposed Zhou Yi for the sake of opposing her, and in the end, she had gained nothing.

"Zhou Yi... I really envy you..."

"..."

In the end, Mu Jin got drunk alone in the Teacher's Dormitory and fell asleep on the table all by herself.

On the other hand, Zhou Yi had Fan Yu by her side. It's really hard to say who will win in the end.

For the next few days, Wang Dong'er would spar with Huo Yuhao. She was extremely dissatisfied that she couldn't beat Huo Yuhao, a control-type Soul Master, even though they were two top geniuses. Wang Dong'er a lot of pressure because they couldn't beat Huo Yuhao, whose Body Martial Soul Spirit Eye.

Wang Dong'er, who had always had a smooth journey in terms of talent and cultivation, learned for the first time that there were extraordinary talents in this world, and Huo Yuhao, who was with her every day, was one of them.

"Yuhao? Huo Yuhao! Are you even listening to me?! I'm really talking to you!"

Wang Dong'er, who had just returned from her time outside, excitedly pushed open the dormitory door and saw Huo Yuhao fiddling with those Soul Tool cores that looked terrifying.

Wang Dong'er came back so early today because she wanted to tell Huo Yuhao about the class assignments this year, since there are so many new students.

This year's intake far exceeds the total number of new students in the Shrek Academy's history. Among the new students, the Soul Master have varying talents, and this is to better observe the individual strengths of each new student.

This year, Shrek Academy held a small placement test, which grouped all freshmen according to their Martial Soul development direction and then continued with a basic running test.

After all, the foundation of Soul Master's strength comes from physical strength. Whether it's cultivating Soul Power or absorbing Spirit Ring, physical fitness is essential.

A simple run is a quick way to test a person's physical fitness, and Wang Dong'er rushed back because of this, intending to discuss it with Huo Yuhao.

After all, Wang Dong'er didn't want to be separated from Huo Yuhao, even though the two classes would be held in the same Lecture Hall at the same time, since Shrek Academy only had a limited number of teachers.

"Huh? Wang Dong, what did you just say? I didn't hear what you said while I was checking the Soul Tool core?"

Huo Yuhao has a habit of listening to instrumental music while doing things. He just put on his headphones and focused on tinkering with the core of the Soul Tool on the table.

Huo Yuhao was completely unaware of Wang Dong'er's arrival, let alone hearing what Wang Dong'er had just said.

Huo Yuhao was born with strong Mental Power. When Wang Dong'er approached him and was about to lose her temper, the hairs on his body stood on end.

Huo Yuhao felt a little embarrassed. He took the earphone out of his ear and looked at Wang Dong'er's puffed-up little face, not knowing how to comfort her.

"Hmph! I'll forgive you this time! Seriously, Yuhao, you've been in the dorm all day, messing around with these Soul Tool! You're just cultivating, don't you get bored?"

Wang Dong'er was a little unhappy and reached out to fiddle with the table. Huo Yuhao had just placed the Soul Tool core, and Wang Dong'er didn't know how to ask Huo Yuhao to spend more time with her.

'Ugh! I can't touch this Soul Tool core! It looks like it's ruined. Never mind, seeing how unhappy Wang Dong looks, I'd better not bring it up.'

Huo Yuhao's eye twitched slightly. He had spent the whole morning working on the Soul Tool core, but it was completely ruined. If he had known this would happen, Huo Yuhao would have just sealed it up directly.

"Yuhao, what did you make? It's so crunchy! Is that alright?"

Wang Dong'er's action was just a subconscious one; little did she know that with just a little force, the seemingly sturdy core of the Soul Tool would be destroyed.

"No... it's nothing. By the way, Wang Dong, what did you just say?"

Huo Yuhao's lips twitched slightly. Well, now even he couldn't fix it. It seemed the gift for Wang Dong'er would have to be postponed again.

"Oh, then I'm relieved. I was worried I might have accidentally broken something important to you Yuhao! That would be terrible, Yuhao, you know that?"

I just got back from Shrek City and saw the academy's freshman assessment announcement! If we go together, Yuhao, with your physical abilities, getting into the Power Attack Department class shouldn't be a problem!

When Wang Dong'er heard that it wasn't something important to Huo Yuhao, she breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise she would have felt quite embarrassed. Then she immediately told her what Wang Dong'er knew about the rules and requirements for the freshman assessment.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao exclaimed, "Oh, so that's what happened!" He had thought that Wang Dong'er's true identity had been discovered by the Shrek Academy teachers, and that something serious had happened, so he rushed back in a hurry.

"Wang Dong, so this is what you're talking about! My senior brother told me today that it's just a simple physical fitness test, there's no need to make a fuss about it."

Huo Yuhao's answer stunned Wang Dong'er. She had seen Tang San in Shrek City, and Huo Yuhao had been in his dormitory for the past few days. How did he know? "Yuhao, haven't you been in your dormitory the whole time? How did Tang San tell you?"

Wang Dong'er's mind is still so wandering; she immediately shifted her attention to this issue.

Huo Yuhao raised his fair and delicate arm to introduce the functions of the Personal Terminal Soul Tool to Wang Dong'er. When he saw Wang Dong'er, her eyes lit up! Her eyes were practically sparkling, and she had an expression that said, "I'm very interested and I really want it," which made Huo Yuhao very uncomfortable.

"Well... because the final core formation wasn't completed, Wang Dong, you might have to wait two days."

Huo Yuhao avoided looking into Wang Dong'er's eyes and gave her a rough estimate of the time, which made Wang Dong'er blush with embarrassment.

She had just broken the first gift Huo Yuhao was going to give her; that was just unbelievable.

However, Huo Yuhao looked Wang Dong'er up and down, and then, recalling what Wang Dong'er had just said, he smiled and said to the embarrassed Wang Dong'er.

"Wang Dong, so you really can't bear to leave me? It seems you're still attracted by my beauty!"

Faced with Huo Yuhao's sudden flirtation, Wang Dong'er lost her composure for a moment, and the urgency that Huo Yuhao had guessed her secret made her start to defend herself.

"Who... who said that! I was just trying to be helpful!"
