"Slap"!

Tang Wulin stood beside his companion, but a complex emotion surged within him, a stark contrast to his tense body.

Shrek Academy is a universally recognized holy land in the world of Soul Master, and it was once a sacred and inviolable belief in his heart.

However, after just a few days of firsthand experience, the imagined glorious "sacred" veil was brutally torn away by reality, revealing the arrogance, domineering nature, and unquestionable logic of power that may have always existed beneath it.

A sense of weightlessness, a feeling of faith collapsing, mixed with the youthful passion and indignation, surged within him.

At this moment, faced with Cai Yue'er's undisguised threat, even though she was a high-ranking Titled Douluo, he couldn't hold back anymore.

The boy took a step forward and stood slightly in front of Huo Yuhao.

He looked directly at Cai Yue'er, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.

"Senior, on the arena, victory or defeat depends on one's own skill."

"We simply won a game based on our skill."

"How... can this be considered a grave sin that damages Shrek's millennia-old reputation?"

"Does that mean... Shrek Academy can't afford to lose?!"

Cai Yue'er's icy gaze turned to Tang Wulin, her voice indifferent and filled with undisguised contempt. "Here... who has the right to speak?"

Given her personality, she wouldn't normally bother explaining, but this was, after all, happening in front of a large crowd.

Therefore, she immediately stated, "The online slurs and malicious attacks against Shrek are endless, and it's obvious to anyone with eyes that someone is behind it all, stirring up trouble."

Her gaze swept over the students of Class Zero, finally settling on Wu Changkong, and she said meaningfully, "I think... you two are not necessarily unrelated to this matter."

Without any evidence, they casually slapped the huge accusation of manipulating public opinion and maliciously slandering Shrek on them!

The students in Class Zero were stunned. They had their eyes opened and were forced to reassess their understanding of the Shrek Academy's bottom line.

Just as Tang Wulin's face turned red with anger and he was about to argue, a steady hand landed on his shoulder.

Wu Changkong appeared beside him, protecting the disciple behind him.

His icy blue eyes stared directly at Cai Yue'er: "Your Silver Moon Lord, you need evidence to back up your claims."

Hearing Wu Changkong address him as "Your Silver Moon Lord" repeatedly, he no longer wanted to call him "Dean" or "Elder Cai" as he used to.

In Cai Yue'er's mind, this was clearly a complete severing of her relationship with Shrek.

Cai Yue'er's eyes flashed with even more ferocity. She glanced at Wu Changkong and let out a short, cold snort.

"Of course, we should let the evidence speak for itself." Her tone was light and dismissive, carrying an air of superiority. "However, these things... you are not qualified to know."

Her patience had clearly run out; she ignored Wu Changkong and fixed her gaze on Huo Yuhao once more.

"I'm asking you one last time!"

"Would you like to enter Shrek Academy?!"

Huo Yuhao stood there quietly, without flinching, his eyes clear, meeting Cai Yue'er's fiery gaze, his answer as before.

"I don't want to!"

Decisive, efficient, without the slightest hesitation.

Cai Yue'er seemed to be thoroughly exasperated by this unyielding attitude and laughed, "Ha... Fine!"

Before the words were even finished...

"Boom!"

A terrifying pressure, vast and boundless, erupted without warning, centered on Cai Yue'er!

That was the overwhelming aura of Super Douluo, like an invisible tsunami, crashing down on Wu Changkong and the five students of Class Zero!

The air hummed under the strain, and the marble floor seemed to tremble slightly.

The surrounding crowd gasped and staggered backward, their faces pale, almost suffocated by the Sisi pressure.

At the same time, Cai Yue'er's icy voice fell once more.

"In that case, please... come with me to the Shrek Academy!"

"We must thoroughly investigate the entire story of this incident!"

She continued to follow Long Yeyue's instructions: no matter what, bring Huo Yuhao back to the Shrek Academy first.

Faced with the overwhelming pressure of this Super Douluo, Wu Changkong's face turned pale, and he let out a muffled groan.

His body flashed rapidly with icy blue light, and his cultivation as Six-Ring Soul Emperor was pushed to its limit. Like a reef in a raging torrent, he stood firmly at the forefront, sharing most of the pressure with the students behind him.

However, the gap between Soul Saint and Super Douluo is not easily bridged.

His body swayed slightly, and fine cracks quietly appeared in the hard ground beneath his feet.

The five students behind him were in even worse shape. Their blood and qi were churning, their Soul Power was stagnant, they could hardly breathe, cold sweat was seeping from their foreheads, and they even seemed about to collapse while standing.

The absolute gap in strength was on full display at this moment.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, these six teachers and students will be forcibly "invited" away today to the Shrek Academy.

However, at this critical moment... an unexpected event occurred.

"Shrek Academy... still the same, they like to bully others with their power!"

An aged, calm voice suddenly resounded throughout the lobby of the Tianhai Hotel.

"Who?!"

Cai Yue'er's heart skipped a beat. She shouted sharply, her sharp gaze sweeping across the surroundings like lightning. Her immense Divine Power spread out like an invisible tide, enveloping every inch of the hotel space.

However, her investigation yielded no results.

"Ugh!"

But the next moment, Cai Yue'er suddenly let out a painful groan!

The feeling was like countless silver needles simultaneously piercing the deepest part of her Spirit Sea!

Cai Yue'er was struck as if by a heavy blow. Her body swayed uncontrollably, and she staggered. If Shen Yi hadn't been quick to step forward and support her, she would have almost fallen on the spot.

Her terrifying aura, which had overwhelmed the teachers and students of Class Zero, vanished without a trace, like a punctured balloon.

With the pressure suddenly gone, Wu Changkong felt a sense of relief throughout his body. He coughed up a mouthful of blood and knelt on one knee, using his hand to support himself as he barely managed to steady himself.

"Teacher, how are you?"

Huo Yuhao and the other four hurriedly stepped forward.

Wu Changkong shook his head, indicating that he was alright, but his gaze remained fixed on what was ahead.

With Shen Yi's support, Cai Yue'er managed to stand up, her face turning pale for a moment before being replaced by even stronger shock and anger.

She flung Shen Yi's hand away, steadied her breath, and despite the lingering pain in her mind, she forced herself to straighten her back and demanded an explanation in a sharp voice.

"Who is this cowardly coward! Who dares to interfere in the affairs of the Shrek Academy?!"

"Smack!"

A crisp, loud slap rang out suddenly, interrupting all her questions and anger.

Cai Yue'er's head suddenly tilted to the right, and a slightly red five-finger print instantly appeared on her right cheek.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, looking at the scene in disbelief.

Titled Douluo powerhouse from the Shrek Academy was actually slapped across the face in front of everyone?!

At the same time, a tall Cai Yue'er seemed to emerge from a watercolor painting, gradually becoming more and more prominent, and finally solidifying.

This was an elderly man, tall with white hair and beard, a simple and honest face, and wearing a simple gray cloth robe.

Cai Yue'er slowly turned her head. The burning pain on her right cheek was so real and so humiliating that her Brain went blank for a moment.

Having lived for over a hundred years, holding the Titled Douluo and in charge of Shrek Outer Court, how could she have ever suffered such a humiliating disgrace?

She stared intently at the unfamiliar, calm face before her, her expression shifting from blank to bewildered, and finally transforming into an almost distorted, ferocious look.

Her eyes blazed with terrifying fury and murderous intent, her voice strained out through clenched teeth, hoarse and chilling.

"Who... are... you?!"

Every word was saturated with boundless hatred and rage.

"How dare you... insult me like this?!"
