Ye Mu: Because Your Face Is Big

[Heaven Dou Empress Little Angel: Got money with nowhere to spend?]

[Rakshasa Sister Not Short of Money: This lady's own stuff, this lady feels like it, does it have anything to do with you?]

[Little Witch of the Glazed Tile Sect: Sob sob... Pope Sister, I want to sponge off you.]

[Tyrannosaurus Tears Down the House Today: Does your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect still lack Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones?]

[Little Witch of the Glazed Tile Sect: But I don't have any soul bone myself.]

[Cat Star Person Never Admits Defeat: Sooner or later.]

Ahem... Sisters, I'm about to show off. Watch closely! With that, Ye Mu entered Martial Soul Possession.

Clack, clack, clack...

A steady, rhythmic sound of horse hooves drew closer from afar.

It attracted the attention of everyone at the entrance of Shrek Academy.

They saw a man and a horse slowly approaching from the end of the dirt road.

The horse was a magnificent Wind-Galloping Horse, its dark cyan coat gleaming. Its four hooves stepped lightly on the ground, and faint cyan wind vortices twirled around its entire body.

Ye Mu sat tall and straight in the saddle, his white robe immaculate. His right hand casually gripped a pitch-black iron spear, the shaft resting diagonally across his shoulder.

On the left side of the Wind-Galloping Horse's saddle hung a sleek short bow.

Man and horse as one, they slowly approached.

Ye Mu did not intentionally radiate soul power pressure, but he gave off a sense of invisible pressure.

"It's Ye Mu!" Xiao Wu murmured.

Tang San's pupils also constricted, his expression solemn.

He never expected to encounter Ye Mu here again.

How could he come here?

"Brother San, he... is he not also coming to join this Shrek Academy?" Xiao Wu asked softly, a hint of worry in her tone.

She certainly did not want to be a classmate with this guy who struck ruthlessly and possessed terrifying strength.

Tang San immediately shook his head and said in a low voice, "No. He is already a soul ancestor, and his soul ring configuration... is so astonishing, why would he still need to join an academy to study? He comes here with another purpose for sure."

Alarm bells rang wildly in his heart, and he guessed that Ye Mu might have come for Dai Mubai, or... something else.

The instant Dai Mubai saw clearly that the newcomer was Ye Mu, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he abruptly straightened his body.

His eyes were bloodred and he breathed like an ox.

His chest heaved violently as he stared dead at the slowly approaching figure.

A wave of hatred welled up from within, and he wished he could instantly pounce forward and tear the other person apart with his teeth.

But the next moment, a wave of fear engulfed him.

Is Ye Mu coming for me?

Will he... say that matter aloud in public?

This thought made him feel as though he had fallen into an ice cellar, his whole body turning cold.

He clenched his teeth tightly, able only to roar frantically in his heart and pray that Ye Mu would not open his mouth.

Otherwise, he would have no face left to show anyone.

"What person are you?!" Li Yusong, who was in charge of recruitment, immediately stood up from his chair. The lazy look on his face vanished completely, replaced by vigilance.

Six soul rings suddenly rose, circling and pulsating.

White, yellow, purple, purple, purple, black.

A soul emperor, yet his soul ring configuration could be called garbage.

His first soul ring was even a ten-year white one, while the optimal configuration of yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black was completely out of reach.

A configuration like this was practically at the very bottom among soul masters of the same rank.

He had no idea how the man had managed to advance to the soul emperor level.

[Little Witch of the Glazed Tile Sect: Eww... What a trashy soul ring configuration. Not even the worst soul masters in my family have ten-year soul rings.]

[Tyrannosaurus Tears Down the House Today: Hiring a soul master with some money to help obtain a soul ring shouldn't have led to this state, right?]

[Cat Star Person Never Admits Defeat: Hard to say, soul masters are quite expensive.]

[Heaven Dou Empress Little Angel: You can join academies; academy teachers all help obtain soul rings.]

[Little Witch of the Glazed Tile Sect: Who knows.]

[Little Witch of the Glazed Tile Sect: I also see Dai Mubai. The look this Dai Mubai is giving Ye Mu is filled with fear.]

[Rakshasa Sister Not Short of Money: Looking at this appearance, the people of Shrek Academy probably don't know that Dai Mubai is no longer a man. If they knew, he wouldn't be appearing here right now.]

[Little Witch of the Glazed Tile Sect: Hahaha, if that's the case, wouldn't it be super interesting if Ye Mu exposed him? Will Dai Mubai commit suicide?]

[Blue Silver Sacrifice Specialist: Rongrong... you're so bad.]

[Little Witch of the Glazed Tile Sect: I'm the Little Witch! ^____^]

A thought stirred in Ye Mu's heart—now that was a pretty good idea, letting Dai Mubai suffer social death throughout all of Nuoding City.

They were already locked in a life-or-death feud anyway, so he definitely had to screw the other side over to death.

Ye Mu's gaze swept across the soul rings at Li Yusong's feet, his expression calm and unruffled.

Sitting upright on his horse, Ye Mu slowly swept his gaze over the crowd with their varied expressions.

"Who I am doesn't matter."

"What matters is that this so-called Shrek Academy of yours..."

Ye Mu's gaze turned sharp as he looked at Li Yusong.

"Under the guise of only accepting monsters and nurturing elites, you use this shabby place to charge an exorbitant enrollment fee of ten gold soul coins."

"Then, you fool students with some specious, loophole-ridden garbage theories, using this..." His spear tip tilted slightly, pointing vaguely and pointedly at the shabby soul rings at Li Yusong's feet. "Using a teacher who can't even cultivate properly himself to mislead students."

"In the end, you fabricate some illusory nonsense... like how graduation makes one an empire viscount, a future full of promise, all to drain the savings of students and their families."

"Are you running a school here at all!"

Ye Mu's voice suddenly rose, carrying undisguised mockery. "Or are you... flagrantly... scamming gold soul coins!!"

As his voice fell, dead silence blanketed the entire area.

Li Yusong's face flushed crimson, a mix of shock and anger.

Tang San and Xiao Wu looked at each other.

"Brother San, this place doesn't feel like a good place."

"Don't speak." Tang San pulled Xiao Wu back.

Their voices were very soft, but Li Yusong was a soul emperor and could hear them, his face turning ashen.

"Audacious! I am a soul emperor, yet you dare to spout nonsense right in front of our Shrek Academy!"

Ye Mu raised his voice even louder so that everyone coming to enroll could hear him. "Where did I spout nonsense? In twenty years, your academy has only ever enrolled forty-odd students, two-thirds of whom failed to graduate, and of the remaining third—what Spirit Hall higher-ups! The best student is merely a teacher at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Why didn't he return to Shrek Academy to teach?

Isn't it because he knows your Shrek Academy is trash!"

"And claiming to take grandmasters under thirteen years old! Where is a soul master like that not a genius in any academy? Why would they join an academy of yours that has nothing at all! Because your face is big!"

[Little Witch of the Glazed Tile Sect: Well said!]

[Tyrannosaurus Tears Down the House Today: Somewhat satisfying, but not satisfying enough!]

[Rakshasa Sister Not Short of Money: Continue!!! I've already had someone send a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone to the Spirit Hall in Suotuo City; it'll arrive in a couple of days.]

Ye Mu's eyes lit up, and he shouted frantically in his heart, Sister is domineering!

Li Yusong, driven red-faced and furious by Ye Mu's accusations, was just about to make a move when—

"Audacious!"
