He lost. Dai Mubai had lost.

Long Jie had used just one move—a near-infinite E—to knock Dai Mubai to the ground with severe injuries. Although the Soul Power in Long Jie's body had also been completely drained, it did not matter. He had defeated Dai Mubai in a single strike.

That had indirectly completed the task of humiliating Shrek. He did not need to say anything bad about Shrek anymore. All he had to do was...

"Looks like Shrek Academy is only this much. I heard Dai Mubai was considered a genius when he entered Shrek, and this is the result?"

Disappointment showed on Long Jie's face. He stepped forward, took Little Wu's hand, and said casually, "I don't think Shrek is suitable for us. Let's go, Little Wu! We'll find another academy!"

"Wait!" Someone called out to Long Jie. It was not Tang San, but Zhu Zhuqing, who had been standing off to the side. She looked at Long Jie and asked, "Which academy are you going to?"

"Lan Ba Academy. I heard it has excellent cultivation resources. I don't want to waste my time here only to end up learning nothing!" Long Jie said before leaving Shrek Academy without hesitation.

He had done what he needed to do. Whether they would join Shrek or not was up to them.

Zhu Zhuqing stood where she was, watching Long Jie disappear into the distance before looking at Dai Mubai on the ground. She was utterly conflicted.

"Um... wait here. I'll treat Dai Mubai first, and a teacher will come assess you later!" Tang San said. He had wanted to keep Long Jie just now, but he had no reason to stop him.

He could not exactly say, "I've taken a liking to your sister. You can leave, but she has to stay," could he?

He could not bring himself to lose that much face.

"No need." Ning Rongrong, who had remained silent all along, stood up. She calmly glanced at Dai Mubai on the ground and made her decision.

"Long Jie is right. Shrek does not have the ability to teach me properly!"

With that, she turned and left without the slightest hesitation.

Tang San opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found himself speechless. He could only place his hopes on Zhu Zhuqing, the last one who had not left.

However...

"Um... can the registration fee be refunded?" Zhu Zhuqing's cold face spoke words that were unexpectedly adorable. The contrast caught Tang San completely off guard.

But once he understood what she had said, his face darkened. "No. Registration fees are non-refundable!"

Having gotten nowhere, Zhu Zhuqing said nothing more and followed Ning Rongrong out of Shrek.

"Sigh! All four of them chose to leave. Teacher Zhao must be furious now! Dai Mubai, you'd better watch out!"

Tang San could not help sighing. He could already imagine Dai Mubai's miserable fate.

On the other side, after leaving Shrek, Long Jie did not go far. He waited at the village entrance for Ning Rongrong and the others.

"Brother, aren't we leaving? Why are we waiting for them?"

The little girl was somewhat upset. Her brother already had her, so why did he care about others?

"You don't understand, little girl. I'm counting on them to become stronger!"

Long Jie smiled and looked toward the inside of the village. Two figures slowly appeared.

"They're here!"

"Hmph! So what if they're here?" Little Wu pouted, clearly unhappy!

Long Jie could only smile at that. He would not meddle in women's quarrels. That would only make them turn their conflict toward him.

Soon, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing arrived before Long Jie. Ning Rongrong looked at him with a cheerful smile and said, "Long Jie, were you waiting for us? Did you know we would come out?"

Unlike Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing did not give Long Jie a pleasant look at all. She simply snorted, "Hmph!" and turned her head away.

Long Jie had no idea how he had offended this girl. He did not bother with her and smiled at Ning Rongrong. "With Shrek's level of strength, of course I knew Princess Ning wouldn't think much of them!"

Ning Rongrong smiled. She would never admit that she had left simply because she wanted to follow Long Jie!

"Hmph, smooth talker!" Zhu Zhuqing snorted coldly, her words filled with jealousy.

Long Jie smiled and did not argue with her, but he was full of doubts about this girl. Why was she not as cold and indifferent as she had been in the original story?

She seemed to really enjoy targeting him.

He could not help thinking of the crying girl in the cave. That girl had been very flat and loved to cry. Zhu Zhuqing was very well-endowed and cold!

Only three years had passed. It was impossible for her to have changed so much, right?

Pushing the thought from his mind, Long Jie looked at the two girls and said, "Since you've both come out, why don't we go to Lan Ba Academy together? The cultivation resources there are quite good too!"

"Are you inviting me?" Ning Rongrong covered her mouth and giggled. Looking at Long Jie, she said, "I can go with you, but you have to protect me along the way!"

"No problem, Princess!" Long Jie smiled and said it instinctively. Then, the next second, he felt a chill run down his back.

"Brother... didn't you say I was your princess?" Little Wu's face darkened as she glared angrily at Long Jie.

Long Jie smiled awkwardly. "Did I? Hahaha... maybe... um... right, I said princess, and that's Rong Rong's status!"

"Rong Rong is the princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"

"Is that so?" Little Wu was half-convinced!

"Of course it is. Could this princess's identity be fake?" Ning Rongrong said proudly. She did not feel much about Little Wu and Long Jie's closeness.

On the contrary, Zhu Zhuqing, who had not said a word, was so angry that she gritted her teeth!

"Then all right... let's go!" Little Wu believed him and let Long Jie off the hook. Long Jie breathed a sigh of relief.

There was clearly nothing going on, so why did it feel like Crossing the Asura Field?

Long Jie calmed himself and thought that the System should react about now, right?

"Ding! Congratulations on changing the original plot in which Little Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing joined Shrek Academy. Reward: one Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, one Leg Bone, and the Seven Star Revolving Saber Technique!"

Three items? What a profit!

Long Jie was delighted. Without drawing attention, he accepted the items. There was no rush to absorb the Soul Ring. He would set off with the girls first and absorb it when he had time on the road.

And so, Long Jie had abducted three of the Shrek Seven Devils.

Shrek Academy.

Inside the Medical Room, Zhao Wuji and the others looked at Dai Mubai lying on the bed, their faces incomparably dark.

"He really only has two rings?"

Tang San stood trembling at the side, barely daring to breathe. When Zhao Wuji asked, he hurriedly replied, "Yes. He's from my village, and his name is Long Jie. I saw with my own eyes that he only has two rings!"

"He really won with just one move?"

"Yes!"

"Impossible. It would already be unbelievable for someone with only two rings to defeat someone with three. How could he possibly win in one move? Are you messing with me?"

Zhao Wuji was furious. Dai Mubai was a genius Shrek Academy had painstakingly cultivated. He should have shone across the continent, not been severely injured by some unknown fellow.

Tang San stood to the side without speaking. The facts were as they were. There was nothing more for him to say.

At that moment, a middle-aged man walked in from outside, speaking as he entered. "If that person is Long Jie, then anything is possible!"

"Grandmaster?"

"Teacher!"

Zhao Wuji and Tang San spoke at the same time. The newcomer was Yu Xiaogang. Ever since Long Jie had pointed out the flaws in his theories three years ago, he had been traveling around to verify them.

By chance, he had come to Shrek Academy and taken Tang San as his disciple.
