Are All Shrek Students This Arrogant?
Clothing?
Upon hearing this, the group subconsciously glanced again at the dark green tracksuits worn by Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi.
The style is ordinary, and the fabric seems to be of good quality, but there are no eye-catching college emblems, words, or special patterns on it, so you can't tell what's special about it.
However, a sharp glint flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes, and he instantly made a judgment.
Green... This color is not mainstream in Soul Master clothing; not many people choose this color for everyday wear.
However, there is one exception!
That place is Shrek Academy!
Shrek Academy's school uniform is predominantly green!
This is a tradition and symbol that has been passed down for 20,000 years!
Considering Ye Xinglan's superior remarks just now, and the undisguised arrogant expression on her face... Huo Yuhao was basically certain of his judgment.
He asked directly, "You... are from the Shrek Academy?"
"That's right!"
Ye Xinglan immediately admitted it, raising her chin even higher, her pride and sense of superiority stemming from her status almost overflowing.
"Now that you know we're from the Shrek Academy, you should understand even better why I'm doing this!"
Her gaze swept over the group in front of her, her tone almost lecturing. "You all must really want to get into the Shrek Academy, right?"
"Unfortunately, the academy has an extremely limited number of admissions each year, and those who are admitted are all geniuses selected from among thousands."
"But there are always some people who lack talent and effort, and who harbor unrealistic fantasies about the Shrek Academy."
"When dreams Po Mie, these people's minds easily turn dark. Unable to get in themselves, they try every means to destroy others' chances of getting in."
"This kind of thing is not without precedent."
She looked at Mu Xi, then glanced at the discarded cookies on the ground, and snorted, "So, I don't think I did anything wrong just now."
Seeing Ye Xinglan's righteous and indignant demeanor, Mu Xi's anger surged to the top of her head.
She couldn't help but retort angrily, "Who wants to go to your Shrek Academy?!"
Although she blurted out those words in the heat of the moment, she genuinely had no intention of going to Shrek.
Mu Xi was well aware that her talent as Soul Master was not top-notch, so she had already decided to focus on the forging skills she inherited from her father.
Shrek Academy is indeed a holy land for Soul Master, but it is not her only pursuit.
Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, Xu Xiaoyan, and the others, who originally held Shrek Academy in high esteem and respect, felt a surge of disgust and disappointment upon hearing Ye Xinglan's superior remarks.
"How could the people from the Shrek Academy be like this?"
This thought appeared in their minds almost simultaneously.
This is far removed from their imagined image of a legendary academy representing fairness, justice, and a spirit of hard work.
Xie Xie, who had joined Huo Yuhao and the others in gathering around, was always one to enjoy a good show. He couldn't help but shout, "Even if you're from the Shrek Academy, you can't bully people like this!!"
"We kindly offered them food, and they made a mistake?"
His shout instantly drew the attention of many more students from the Eastsea Academy.
This area was the main gathering place for students from the Eastsea Academy. Hearing that a classmate seemed to be bullied by outsiders, many students subconsciously moved closer, their eyes fixed on Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi, who were surrounded in the middle.
However, facing increasing gazes and a subtle sense of oppression, Ye Xinglan showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, she straightened her back and revealed a cold smile.
Her gaze swept over the crowd from the Eastsea Academy who had gathered around her, and she said coldly, "What? Now you want to bully the few just because you have more people?"
Ye Xinglan's shout also brought help!
Five boys and girls, also dressed in dark green tracksuits and around fourteen or fifteen years old, quickly squeezed out of the crowd and stood behind Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi.
The two sides faced each other a few steps apart, the air thick with the smell of gunpowder.
Young people are naturally hot-blooded, especially in a situation that concerns the reputation of the academy and their personal dignity. If this stalemate continues, a few words of conflict could very well escalate into a physical brawl.
At this critical moment when tensions were running high, a clear, cold voice came from afar. "What... are you doing?"
Before the words were finished, a white figure had already parted the crowd and walked to the middle of the two opposing sides. The person who came was Wu Changkong.
His face was icy cold, and he seemed to exude an aura of chill that kept strangers at bay. His gaze, like tangible ice blades, swept over the students on both sides.
Xie Xie was swept by that gaze, he immediately wilted like a frostbitten eggplant, his neck shrank back, and his previous "righteous" momentum instantly deflated. He obediently shut his mouth and dared not utter another word.
Huo Yuhao remained calm. He stepped forward, met Wu Changkong's gaze, and said, "Teacher, it was a student from the Shrek Academy who unreasonably criticized and verbally abused Senior Sister Mu Xi's act of helping us, which led to the dispute."
Only then did everyone notice that Wu Changkong had not come alone.
Behind him followed a woman who appeared to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.
She had long, snow-white hair, simply tied back, and a beautiful face with a composed demeanor.
She was dressed in a sharp, tailored outfit, and though she didn't say a word, she exuded an aura that couldn't be ignored.
And this person was Shen Yi, the teacher who led the Shrek Academy youth team to participate in the Exhibition Match.
Shen Yi's gaze passed over Wu Changkong's shoulder and landed on the students he had brought. He frowned slightly and asked, "Xinglan, Lizhi, and the rest of you, what's going on?"
When asked by their instructor Shen Yi, the Shrek students who arrived later looked at each other in bewilderment, and none of them spoke.
They didn't really know what had happened; they just saw Ye Xinglan surrounded and instinctively came to her aid.
Xu Lizhi, the chubby boy who was initially involved in the incident, moved his lips as if he wanted to explain, but was stopped by a look from Ye Xinglan beside him.
Ye Xinglan spoke first, facing Shen Yi with her face still showing that stubborn defiance, and said quickly, "Teacher, we did nothing wrong. It's the people from the Eastsea Academy who are meddling and making excuses..."
Shen Yi looked at Ye Xinglan, his brows furrowing even more. Before she could finish speaking, he raised his hand to interrupt her.
"Alright, there's no need to argue now."
"The Exhibition Match is about to begin. Everyone, return to your teams immediately and get ready."
"We can talk about it after the Exhibition Match."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xinglan clearly wanted to argue further, but seeing Shen Yi's unyielding gaze, she ultimately swallowed her words and reluctantly shut her mouth.
Shen Yi then turned his gaze to Wu Changkong, who was standing to the side. The two had a good relationship back in the Shrek Academy, and this was clearly a request for Wu Changkong's opinion, as his teacher.
Wu Changkong's expression remained cold and stern. He said nothing, but simply nodded slightly to Shen Yi, indicating his approval of her decision.
Although many of the students watching were not directly taught by Wu Changkong in Class Zero, this powerful "aloof male god" was extremely famous within the Eastsea Academy.
Seeing that he nodded, none of the other students from the Eastsea Academy raised any further objections.
This sudden conflict came to a less-than-perfect end as Shen Yi led the Shrek Academy students away, leaving the matter unresolved.
After the crowd had gradually dispersed, Wu Changkong turned his gaze back to the students of Class Zero and asked again in a cold voice, "Now, tell me, what exactly happened just now?"
Xie Xie had been holding back his words for a long time, immediately spoke up, "Teacher! It's really not that we're causing trouble, it's just that the Shrek people are being so unreasonable..."
He immediately recounted the cause and course of the incident in a rapid-fire manner, explaining the whole process clearly. Although he was somewhat emotional, he did not embellish the story and basically restored the facts.
After listening to Xie Xie's account, even Wu Changkong, whose expression was usually as cold as Ice Seal, couldn't help but frown slightly.
Tang Wulin couldn't help but whisper a question, voicing the doubts of the others.
"Teacher, are all the students at the Shrek Academy so unreasonable, so... arrogant?"
