Only a Seven Ring Soul Sage, Wang Zhiyi was not confident.

At the Soul Sage level, there was the existence of Martial Soul True Body. Once Martial Soul True Body was activated, a Soul Master's Strength would surge several times, which was a completely different level.

He didn't know if he could fight one.

Ultimately, it still depended on the actual combat situation.

But at least, in this Tianhai Competition, he would not encounter an opponent of that level.

It was enough.

"What?!"

"How can this be!"

Zhou Tian'er's voice exploded in the room, and she stood up abruptly, her pair of emerald green eyes full of disbelief.

They had just returned from their matches for the day when they received a Message from Zhang Zhenpeng.

Because a Shrek Student wanted to temporarily participate in the individual competition, the organizers agreed.

This in itself was nothing.

But the problem was, the person the Shrek Student wanted to fight was precisely Wang Zhiyi's opponent for tomorrow.

So the organizers hoped Wang Zhiyi would give up participating in this competition and give up his Quota.

"On what grounds?!"

Zhou Tian'er's face turned red with anger.

"Xiao Zhi has competed in so many matches, fighting his way here, why should he give it up to someone else?!"

At this moment, Zhang Zhenpeng's face was also extremely grim.

When the organizers approached him, he had directly refused.

As the Dean of Sea and Land Academy, he also had his pride.

His student had worked hard to get this far, so why should he give it up to a Shrek Student who joined halfway?

But because of this, he had offended that Shrek Student.

When the student learned of the refusal, he immediately declared that he would fight Wang Zhiyi tomorrow and defeat him fair and square.

The organizers had no choice but to arrange it.

Zhang Zhenpeng took a deep breath and explained the whole story.

Silence filled the room.

Zhou Tian'er trembled with anger, Zhou Hanyou frowned slightly, and Wang Dongqi also wore a look of indignation.

Only Wang Zhi remained calm.

He sat on the chair, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest.

After a moment, he spoke.

"Who is it."

His voice was calm, betraying no emotion.

Everyone looked at him.

Wang Zhi repeated himself, his voice still calm.

"Who is it."

Zhang Zhenpeng said slowly.

"It's a Shrek Student named Ye Xinglan."

Wang Zhi nodded slightly.

As expected.

He had guessed as much.

In the original work, Ye Xinglan had acted just like this, forcing a fight with Tang Wulin, defeating him after he offended her, and causing him to miss the subsequent individual competition.

He had found this part ridiculous when he read it.

Using privilege to oppress others, forcibly defeating them, and letting their efforts go to waste.

How could such a person become one of the Shrek Seven Devils in the future?

Wang Zhi really wanted to open Tang Wulin's head and take a look.

Even a saint should have some temper, right?

If he encountered such a situation, it would be an unforgivable offense, and the only way to get revenge would be to kill them!

He couldn't repay evil with good.

Then, Wang Zhi slowly spoke.

"Dean, Tian'er Jie, don't worry."

"You know what my Strength is."

"I truly don't put them in my eyes."

He was telling the truth.

With his current Strength, let alone one Ye Xinglan, even if a few more came, he wouldn't be afraid.

But Zhang Zhenpeng's Complexion remained grim.

"Xiao Zhi, I'm not actually worried that you'll lose to her."

He sighed.

"It's just..."

"The Tianhai Competition is broadcast live across the entire Federation."

"If you win against her, it means you'll slap Shrek's face."

He paused and looked at Wang Zhi, his eyes complex.

"And Shrek Academy is The Continent's Number One Academy. Only by going there can you get better development."

"If you offend them..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear.

Win the competition, lose the future.

Zhou Tian'er exploded upon hearing this.

"What kind of trash academy is this!"

"Can't afford to lose, then why participate in the competition?!"

She grabbed Wang Zhi's hand.

"Xiao Zhi, don't be afraid!"

"We don't even deign to go to such an academy!"

Zhang Zhenpeng glanced at her helplessly.

At this moment, Wang Zhi felt a sudden realization.

He finally understood why Zhou Tian'er and Zhou Hanyou in the Original Work were unable to join Shrek Academy later.

It turned out to be because they had offended Wu Changkong.

And Wu Changkong's teacher was Zhuo Shi, one of the Sea God Pavilion Elders of Shrek Academy.

With this connection, how could they possibly get in?

Understanding this, Wang Zhi's Heart had no more worries.

He spoke calmly.

"Dean, this world has never had only one choice."

"Shrek is not the only choice either."

His voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable firmness.

"Since they threatened me with privilege today, there will be a day for reckoning. I will surely repay this debt."

Zhang Zhenpeng looked at him, and after a long while, sighed.

"Fine, fine."

He waved his hand, his expression complicated.

"Originally, I was planning to contact the Senior Students of Tianhai Academy to help you get a few quotas to join Shrek Academy."

"Since it's like this now, I won't go begging anymore."

He looked at Wang Zhi's Heart, then at Zhou Tian'er and Zhou Hanyou.

"But I hope that you will not regret your decision today in the future."

Wang Zhi's Heart nodded slightly.

"Dean, please don't worry."

"I will not regret it."

Zhou Tian'er immediately echoed.

"I don't regret it either!"

Zhou Hanyou nodded slightly. Although she didn't speak, she also expressed her thoughts.

The next day.

Early in the morning, everyone arrived at the competition venue.

The stadium was exceptionally lively today, with the audience seats packed and buzzing with noise.

The message had already spread.

A Shrek Academy student was participating in a temporary match, facing off against that youth from Sea and Land Academy.

Many had rushed here early, just to witness this duel.

Zhou Tian'er and Zhou Hanyou had no matches today, but they also came, sitting in the contestant rest area to cheer for Wang Zhi.

Just then, Wang Zhi's gaze sharpened.

A figure was walking towards him.

It was a maiden, appearing to be eleven or twelve years old, with a delicate appearance.

But there was an innate arrogance in her brows.

Ye Xinglan.

She walked up to Wang Zhi, stopped, and looked him up and down from a superior position.

After a moment, she let out a cold snort, her tone condescending.

"I hope when you lose later, you can be as resolute as you were yesterday."

Wang Zhi smiled faintly.

"Who wins and who loses is not yet decided."

"Brat."

Ye Xinglan's complexion changed.

"You!"

"What about me!"

Zhou Tian'er had already noticed the situation and, upon hearing their conversation, immediately recognized this girl as Ye Xinglan.

Her temper flared instantly. She shot up and rushed in front of Ye Xinglan.

"Relying on being a Shrek Academy student to act recklessly, how can you be so shameless?!"

Ye Xinglan's face darkened as if it could drip water.

She never expected that after coming to provoke them, these people in front of her would not be afraid of her.

She was from Shrek Academy!

The Continent's Number One Academy!

Wherever she went, she was fawned over and revered!

But these people before her not only weren't afraid, they dared to talk back to her?!
