Wang Dong, Completely in His Grasp

"Because he's a Special Invited Student."

Faced with the boy beside her asking questions, Zhou Yi did not hide anything and softly replied, "He has a Waiver Quota. Otherwise, he would never have been able to enroll in Shrek Academy."

"A Waiver Quota?"

Hearing this, Wang Dong's pupils contracted slightly. Seemingly understanding something, he cried out, "Teacher Zhou, are you saying this person's Soul Power hasn't even reached level fifteen?"

He himself had entered through a Waiver Quota, so he naturally understood what the forces possessing such quotas represented.

But why would it be someone whose Soul Power had not even reached level fifteen?

"That's right."

Zhou Yi nodded in confirmation.

"Then, Teacher Zhou, if he fails, will you really expel him?"

Wang Dong asked curiously, wanting to know whether her previous threats and warnings were real or merely words.

"What else would I do? Do you think I, Zhou Yi, am someone who goes back on her word?"

Zhou Yi glanced at Wang Dong before asking, "Kid, do you think he can pass?"

"Whether he can pass isn't up to him. It's up to you."

Faced with Zhou Yi's question, Li Changsheng, standing beside her, shook his head. His immortal-like face remained calm and indifferent.

"What do you mean?"

Not only was Zhou Yi intrigued, but Wang Dong was also completely confused. He clearly did not understand what this had to do with Zhou Yi.

"Although it would be difficult for him to complete this hundred-lap trial with his own strength alone, you never said he couldn't borrow someone else's abilities."

Li Changsheng chuckled and said indifferently, "So, as long as you want to, you can have someone else help him—for example, Wang Dong, who has a flying martial soul. But if you don't want to, he'll probably be expelled and leave Shrek Academy. You may have to explain things to the others afterward, though."

Huo Yuhao was a Tang Sect disciple and Beibei's junior brother. If Zhou Yi really expelled him, Beibei and Tang Ya would definitely come looking for her and demand an explanation.

On top of that, given Tang Ya and Beibei's statuses, even with Fan Yu backing her, she would still have to respond and explain herself. After all, one was the current sect master of the Tang Sect, while the other had Dragon God Douluo Mu En supporting him.

"Hehe, Wang Dong, go help him. This kid may not have much talent or strength, but his perseverance is decent. Let's see whether diligence can make up for his shortcomings!"

Listening to the boy's analysis and answer, surprise and astonishment flashed across Zhou Yi's aged face. She clearly had not expected this child to see through her true intentions.

"Oh, fine!"

Although Wang Dong was somewhat unwilling, he did not refuse or hesitate. He directly released his martial soul, the Light Goddess Butterfly.

After Wang Dong left, Zhou Yi turned to the boy beside her and asked, "You're interesting. What's your name?"

"Li Changsheng!" Li Changsheng answered.

"Li Changsheng? Named for immortality?"

Zhou Yi narrowed her eyes slightly, murmured softly, then said, "Good. I'll remember you!"

With that, she left.

A moment later, Wang Dong dragged the exhausted Huo Yuhao to the finish line.

"What exactly is his background?"

After completing his task, Wang Dong immediately returned to Li Changsheng's side and asked quietly, "I tested him just now and found that his Soul Power is only level eleven. Level eleven means he only obtained his soul ring not long ago. Logically speaking, someone like that shouldn't have a Waiver Quota."

"Instead of asking me here, why don't you ask him yourself?"

After giving Wang Dong a look as though he were an idiot, Li Changsheng turned his gaze to Huo Yuhao and asked, "What's your name? Which faction are you from?"

"My name is Huo Yuhao. I-I'm from the Tang Sect!"

After introducing himself, Huo Yuhao said to Wang Dong, "Thank you. If it weren't for you, I definitely wouldn't have been able to complete the hundred-lap test."

"No need to thank me, it was—"

Wang Dong had just been about to say it was Zhou Yi's order when Li Changsheng immediately shot him a look, signaling him not to say it.

While that was indeed the truth, if he actually said it, Zhou Yi would have no way to explain herself. After all, someone helping of their own accord and someone being ordered to help were completely different matters.

"It's nothing. We're classmates, so we should help each other!"

Understanding what Li Changsheng meant, Wang Dong quickly changed his words and said with a smile.

"Let's go. This is boring."

After Zhou Yi expelled all those who had tried to cut corners, Li Changsheng was the first to turn around and head toward the classroom.

Hearing that, Wang Dong quickly followed.

Neither of them had run laps, so naturally, they did not need to return to the dormitory to bathe and change clothes.

Night had fallen. The sky was filled with stars, the bright moon hung overhead, and the countless stars shimmered with brilliant radiance.

In the dormitory, the two of them had already finished bathing and were lying in their beds. In the end, Li Changsheng was the first to ask, "Wang Dong, aren't you hungry? Aren't you going to eat?"

"What, you want to go with me?" Wang Dong turned his head, raised an eyebrow, and asked.

"What else would I do?" Li Changsheng asked.

"Why do you have to go with me? Can't you just go by yourself?" Wang Dong sat up in bed and asked, thoroughly puzzled.

"Because I don't have much money!" Li Changsheng said matter-of-factly.

"So you mean you want me to pay for you, so you can freeload off me?" Wang Dong's expression darkened as he asked in an extremely displeased tone.

"Just tell me whether you will or not," Li Changsheng said calmly.

"No!" Wang Dong refused.

"Then I have no choice. I can only trade some information for food!"

Li Changsheng sighed and put on a helpless expression.

"What information?"

Hearing this, Wang Dong was somewhat confused and could not help asking.

"What do you think?"

Li Changsheng turned to him with a smile on his face. The meaning behind it could not have been clearer.

"You wouldn't dare!"

Wang Dong had not cared at first, but once he understood what was going on, his whole expression immediately changed.

If that got out, wouldn't his reputation be completely ruined?

"I'm about to starve to death. What do you think I wouldn't dare to do?" Li Changsheng looked utterly shameless, making Wang Dong grit his teeth in hatred.

How could there be such a disgusting person in this world? This was unbelievable!

"Fine, you win!"

Wang Dong let out a breath. After completely resigning himself to his fate, he followed behind Li Changsheng and obediently became his wallet.

The future Wang Dong might never have imagined that because of one simple bet, Li Changsheng would have him completely in his grasp for the rest of his life.
