Old enemy Dai Huabin? Suppression reward triggered, Dai Yu: Useless, kneel!

There, stood several students whose auras were clearly different from ordinary new students.

A black-haired girl was staring this way.

Behind her, the phantom image of a Hell Spirit Cat faintly appeared.

Zhu Lu?

Dai Yu's brows twitched slightly.

Standing beside Zhu Lu was...

A silver-haired youth with icy eyes.

Dai Huabin!

The legitimate son of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, Dai Yu's nominal "second young master."

He was also the one who had brought him back to the Duke's Mansion as a joke and humiliated him for five whole years.

"Yu Ge..."

Huo Yuhao also noticed the gaze from that direction, his face instantly turned pale, and his fists clenched tightly.

In that direction were not only Dai Huabin but also the "young masters and ladies" who had bullied him in the Duke's Mansion back then.

"Don't rush."

Dai Yu placed his hand on Huo Yuhao's shoulder, his tone frighteningly calm:

"Today is just an assessment, not the time to settle old scores."

"Let them live a few more days."

"When the time is right, I will personally return what they owe you, a hundredfold."

Huo Yuhao looked up, gazing at Dai Yu's calm yet murderous eyes.

The fear in his heart instantly vanished, replaced by a surge of warmth and trust.

"En! I'll listen to Yu Ge!"

Just then, from the Viewing Stand, a deep voice boomed through the amplification Soul Tool, spreading across the entire venue:

"Silence!"

Yan Shaozhe stood up, his majestic gaze sweeping over the nearly seven hundred new students below:

"I am the Dean of the Martial Soul Department, Yan Shaozhe."

"Today is your first official assessment since entering Shrek Academy."

"The rules are simple—team battles."

"Three people per team, randomly matched against opponents, engaging in three-on-three duels on the arena stage. Winners advance, losers are eliminated."

"Each team has three chances."

"Lose three consecutive matches, and you're expelled directly!"

"In the end, only thirty-two teams will be able to become official students of this cohort!"

As these words were spoken, the entire venue erupted in an uproar.

Seven hundred people, thirty-two teams, meant that fewer than 150 people would remain.

The elimination rate was a staggering eighty percent!

"Now, begin the draw!"

As Yan Shaozhe's voice fell, a massive light screen unfurled in the sky above the plaza, rapidly displaying the numbers of all participating teams.

Dai Yu's lips curved upwards slightly.

The New Student assessment, huh?

Then let these hothouse flowers get a taste of—

what a true monster is.

[Ding! Detected host is about to enter the "New Student Assessment" plot node.]

[Triggering series quest: New Student Assessment · Path of Crushing!]

[Quest objective: Lead your team to advance with an undefeated record, and display absolute dominance in every battle!]

[Quest reward: Issued in real-time based on performance in each battle, with additional bonuses for the final advancement reward!]

A sharp glint flashed in Dai Yu's eyes.

Very good.

He was definitely going to milk this opportunity.

The numbers on the light screen slowly stopped rolling.

The first round of match-ups was fresh out of the oven.

Dai Yu raised his head, his gaze falling upon the conspicuous match information—

[Seventh Arena: First Match]

[Red Team: Class One - Dai Yu, Wang Dong, Huo Yuhao]

[Blue Team: Class Five - Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Cui Yajie]

The entire venue fell silent.

Immediately after, deafening cheers erupted!

"Holy crap!

The first match is Enemies Meet?!"

"Dai Yu and Dai Huabin?

Both named Dai?

What's going on?"

"I heard Dai Yu is an abandoned son of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, and Dai Huabin is the Direct Descendant Young Master. This is going to be good!"

"Didn't that Dai Yu punch Xu Sanshi yesterday?

But Dai Huabin is also a Soul Elder!

Plus Zhu Lu's Hell Spirit Cat for support, and Cui Yajie's Nine-Tailed Fox for confusion...

This lineup is invincible, right?"

"Those three from Class One...

One is a level twenty-something Attack Type, one is a level ten-something Support, and the last one, though with higher Soul Power, looks so weak and frail... Can they win?"

"It's looking grim!"

On the Viewing Stand, Yan Shaozhe frowned slightly and looked at Du Weilun beside him:

"You arranged this match for the first round? On purpose?"

Du Weilun gave a wry smile:

"Random Match, Pure Coincidence."

"However... that Dai Yu is indeed special.

The news of him defeating Xu Sanshi yesterday has already spread throughout the academy.

I'm also very curious what the result will be when he faces Dai Huabin."

Mu En, standing to the side, still had his eyes closed, as if he were asleep.

But his withered thin fingers tapped twice on the armrest.

"Interesting."

Qian Duoduo stood up directly, shouting at the crowd below:

"Good Grandson!

Beat him hard for Grandpa!

If you cripple him, Grandpa will cover for you!"

The entire venue fell into a deathly silence once more.

A Title Douluo shouting in public...

What kind of background was this?!

At the edge of the arena, Dai Huabin's expression was uncertain.

He had originally thought Dai Yu was trash, but he hadn't expected that in just a short time, this guy not only got into Shrek Academy but was also doing so well.

But soon, a sinister grin appeared on his face.

"Dai Yu... I didn't expect to meet you so soon."

"Back then, I could keep you around as a joke, and today, I can beat you into a real joke on the stage!"

"Lulu, Yajie, beat them hard later! I'll take responsibility if anything happens!"

Zhu Lu nodded coldly, a hint of cruelty flashing in her eyes.

Cui Yajie chuckled charmingly, licking her lips:

"Don't worry, Brother Huabin. I'll handle that Pretty Boy. I love toying with Shota like him the most~"

Seventh Arena.

Dai Yu, along with Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, slowly walked up the steps.

"Yu Ge..."

Huo Yuhao's face was still a little pale, but his eyes had become resolute:

"I... I will work hard!"

Wang Dong shot an unhappy glance at Cui Yajie opposite him:

"Who is that Fox Spirit calling pretty like a girl?!"

"She's talking about you."

Dai Yu said calmly.

"You!!"

Wang Dong stomped his foot in anger, but before he could react, Dai Yu had already patted both their shoulders.

"Listen up."

Dai Yu's voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable confidence:

"Later, Yuhao will activate Spiritual Detection Share immediately, covering the entire arena."

"Wang Dong, you'll draw fire head-on, using your Goddess of Light Butterfly to tie down Zhu Lu and that Fox Spirit."

"As for Dai Huabin..."

A cold smile curved Dai Yu's lips:

"He's mine."

"What he did to me back then, I'll take back today, with interest."

"Dong--"

As the referee struck the gong, the first match officially began!

[Ding! Detected host's nemesis "Dai Huabin" entering combat range!]

[Triggered side quest: Fated Duel!]

[Quest Objective: Defeat Dai Huabin head-on in the New Student assessment, and inflict psychological trauma that will be remembered for a lifetime!]

[Quest Reward: Varies based on suppression level. Base reward – Soul Power +2 levels, White Tiger Bloodline purity increase!]

A cold glint flashed in Dai Yu's eyes.

He slowly raised his right hand and beckoned towards Dai Huabin opposite him.

The gesture was contemptuous, yet full of dominance:

"Dai Huabin, come."

"Let me see how much 'talent' you, this 'genius', have gained over the years."

"If you're Trash, then kneel!"
