The three days passed in the blink of an eye.

At noon that day, Qin Ming was taken to the southeast market in a prison cart and escorted by a large number of soldiers.

This is the execution ground where the empire executes the most heinous criminals. Seeing such a spectacle, people flocked to join in the fun.

At the execution ground, Qin Ming was forced to kneel on the ground by two burly men pressing down on his shoulders.

Prince Xue Xing, as the presiding judge, read out his charges.

Now that things have come to this, how could Qin Ming not understand his predicament?

He loudly protested his innocence, attempting to buy time.

He believed that if he could just get through today, the Three Education Committee Members would come to his rescue!

Besides, he never donated any of the academy's resources to the Shrek Academy.

At least, he was still in the preparation stage, deciding to hand it over to the Shrek Academy after they arrived.

"I never did that; this is a complete frame-up!"

Prince Xue Xing remained unperturbed, placing the testimony before him. "You know Ma Hongjun, right? You know Dai Mubai, right?"

"Look at the signatures and fingerprints above, are they theirs?"

Qin Ming had only known these two men for a short time, and only knew their names; he had no idea about their signatures or handprints!

Framed by people from his alma mater, Qin Ming stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

But he didn't believe it was false evidence.

Flender is capable of anything for money, including perjury.

Qin Ming's heart shattered, and he couldn't help but scream inwardly.

He worked tirelessly for the Shrek Academy, only to be betrayed in return!

He hated it. If he had known Flender was still the same person, he shouldn't have associated with him.

On the contrary, if he had stepped forward to protect Dugu Yan and the others that day, he might have gained Dugu Bo's favor, and his future career would have been even smoother.

Unfortunately, this world gives people time to regret, but not the opportunity to do so.

Qin Ming's face turned ashen, his body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.

Xue Xing sneered, "Selling off Imperial Family property is an unforgivable crime!"

"However, your crimes don't end there. Call the witnesses."

Dugu Yan had been waiting nearby for some time. Upon receiving the order, the officials immediately took her to the execution ground.

Offstage, Wu Qi and others also came to join in the fun.

Qiangu Changkong grumbled, "He got off too easy. So many crimes, and he only got to die once!"

Dugu Yan's testimony is evidence of the collusion between Qin Ming and Shrek Academy that day.

Besides her, Yu Feng and others were also taken to the execution ground as supplementary evidence.

As for Qin Ming, he was still immersed in the painful emotions of being betrayed by the Shrek Academy and couldn't pull himself out of it.

After the charges were read out, many onlookers threw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs that they had prepared in advance at Qin Ming.

"You disgrace to the education sector, just die!"

Many people with children cursed and swore.

Imagine if their child encountered a teacher like that. With their connections, could they possibly discipline the teacher?

Most people hoped that Qin Ming's death would serve as a deterrent to other teachers, thus preventing their children from being bullied.

"The time has come; carry out the execution!"

Qin Ming's crimes warranted severe punishment, which could not be justified without the Death by a Thousand Cuts.

The gloomy-looking executioner took a bundle from behind him, which, when unfolded, was filled with chilling knives.

In fact, most of the knives still had black bloodstains on them.

With the first cut, a piece of flesh fell into the basket. The intense pain brought Qin Ming back to his senses, and he let out a shrill scream.

He kept begging for mercy and claiming that he had been wronged.

The scene was too bloody, so for their physical and mental well-being, Wu Qi and the others left early.

But one thing is certain: Qin Ming will be reduced to ashes.

As Wu Qi left the execution ground, he noticed Three Education Committee Members who looked dejected among the crowd.

To them, Qin Ming was like their own child, and they must have felt terrible to see him suffer such torture.

Meanwhile, the group from the Shrek Academy, far away in Silves City, felt a strange sense of unease.

Tang San had experienced this feeling several times before, and now everyone felt a chill run down their spines, making them take it seriously.

"Teacher, Dean, I need to give everyone a thorough physical examination." Tang San's face was ashen.

Flender was puzzled. "What's going on? Why is everyone experiencing heart palpitations at the same time?"

Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but ask, "Little San, have you discovered something? Or have we been poisoned?"

Tang San shook his head.

He couldn't explain it clearly either.

"I've had heart palpitations a few times before, and the feeling just now was similar, plus everyone was experiencing heart palpitations at the same time. I feel like this isn't as simple as it seems."

"It sounds a bit mystical, but I have a feeling that we may have lost something important."

Looking back on the previous two times, Tang San felt that he had lost something, but upon careful consideration, he found that he had not actually lost anything.

In short, he couldn't explain why.

Yu Xiaogang valued his life highly and had Tang San examine him first.

About five minutes later, Tang San shook his head. "Teacher, your pulse is slightly weaker than normal, which is probably due to your age and has nothing to do with palpitations."

Flender waved his hand. "Alright, don't scare yourself. It's probably just a normal stress response from a sudden change in airflow."

"Currently, the Shrek Team has achieved a 25-game winning streak. Five more games and you will complete the Trial Mission given to you by the Grandmaster."

"From now on, I hope you will take every game seriously and strive for a perfect record."

"Don't forget that Xiao Ming is still waiting for us in Heaven Dou City. Everyone must achieve outstanding results and live up to our senior's expectations! Similarly, only then will we be more valued and receive more resources at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy in the future."

Ma Hongjun couldn't help but complain, "The Cultivation resources that our senior sent back before weren't very useful to us. He didn't even bother to send us anything better."

The resources Qin Ming "sent" were of little help to the Shrek Six Monsters, and were ultimately all given to Yu Xiaogang in the hope of breaking through the Level 30 barrier.

As for the result, Yu Xiaogang's cultivation level remained completely unchanged.

Ma Hongjun didn't take it to heart that he had let something slip in a brothel.

Since not many people know them, whether or not the information is leaked is not important.

Of course, they had no idea that this move would become the final straw that broke Qin Ming's back.

Flender snorted and kicked the other man. "Hongjun, it's a favor that Xiao Ming brings back resources, not his duty. Why are you being so picky?"

Later that day, seeing the Three Education Committee Members return to the college, Wu Qi and the others immediately rushed to the Education Committee.

Although the Three Education Committee Members were dismissed, they continued to manage the college until the handover of their duties was completed.

Upon seeing the group's appearance, Meng Shenji immediately sensed something was wrong.

"Three Education Committee Members, we are very grateful for your and the college's care during this time."

"Unfortunately, the college no longer needs us, and there's no point in staying. This is our withdrawal application, and we hope it will be approved by the Three Education Committee Members."

Meng Shenji and his two companions were extremely frustrated and slapped their thighs repeatedly.

Only now have they come to their senses.

It was Wu Qi and others who gave them confidence, not the academy's own strength.

Once the opponent leaves, Royal Fight Academy's competitiveness in the competition will inevitably plummet!
