After Yu Xiaolong enrolled in Shrek Academy, Tang San found himself in an incredibly awkward position. Yu Xiaogang was his teacher, and Yu Xiaolong was his teacher's half-brother; this meant he would have to call Yu Xiaolong "Uncle," a title the great God King Tang San could hardly bring himself to utter.

Furthermore, the fact that Yu Xiaolong was a character who hadn't existed before made Tang San feel very uneasy, as he worried it would introduce unpredictable variables.

However, Yu Xiaolong addressed this by saying: "You call Yu Xiaogang 'Teacher,' and I'll call you 'Third Brother.' Let's just keep our own separate forms of address."

Even if Tang San wasn't happy about it, there wasn't much he could say.

Yu Xiaolong, relying on his exceptional talent for being a sycophant, successfully integrated himself into the Shrek Seven Devils.

To Tang San, he spent all day singing the praises of the Clear Sky Sect, bad-mouthing Martial Soul Hall, and desperately flattering Tang San's hidden weapons.

But Tang San remained completely indifferent to this.

To Oscar, a penniless guy, he simply threw money around, buying out all of Oscar's sausages every day. Regardless of whether he could eat them or not, Oscar had already come to view Yu Xiaolong as his savior.

To Ning Rongrong, a spoiled and lawless young miss, he simply went along with everything she said. If Ning Rongrong said to go east, Yu Xiaolong wouldn't dare go west; if Ning Rongrong said to beat a dog, Yu Xiaolong wouldn't dare catch a chicken. Even when Ning Rongrong passed gas, Yu Xiaolong would say, "Wow, that smells so good."

Ning Rongrong simply remarked that sycophants were just like that.

To Zhu Zhuqing, an ice-cold beauty who hungered for power, Yu Xiaolong cleverly showcased his own talent and strength.

Although Zhu Zhuqing appreciated Yu Xiaolong's talent and strength, she remained disdainful of his sycophantic behavior.

As for Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, it was the simplest of all: the strongest bonds in the world are forged by those who have carried rifles together, attended school together, and visited brothels together.

As for Xiao Wu, he spent all day calling her "Sister Xiao Wu" and followed her around like a lost puppy. He would even buy her carrots from time to time.

Xiao Wu was very pleased with this.

Seeing Yu Xiaolong clinging to Xiao Wu all day, Tang San was practically exploding with rage. He had told Xiao Wu more than once to stay away from Yu Xiaolong, but while Xiao Wu would agree to his face, she would turn right back around and go play with Yu Xiaolong again.

Yu Xiaolong, you dare to covet my Xiao Wu? You have already invited your own death.

After the Shrek Seven Devils and Yu Xiaolong had all successfully enrolled, Flender, acting as the Dean, began his lecture:

"Congratulations on successfully passing the Shrek Academy assessment and officially becoming students of Shrek Academy."

"Our Shrek Academy has a formidable faculty and a long history; it is your honor to be a part of Shrek Academy."

"During your studies at Shrek Academy, do not think about cutting corners or slacking off, otherwise, you likely won't meet the graduation requirements."

"Dean, what are the graduation requirements for our Shrek Academy?" Yu Xiaolong, very perceptive, gave Flender a chance to show off.

"A good question. The graduation requirement for our Shrek Academy is to reach level 40 before the age of twenty."

Upon hearing the graduation requirements mentioned by Flender, Tang San felt it was as easy as pie.

Ning Rongrong thought to herself that she was just here for fun, and whether she could graduate wasn't necessarily up to Shrek Academy.

Zhu Zhuqing frowned slightly.

Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun showed nothing but disdain.

Yu Xiaolong thought to himself that this was truly the legendary Shrek Academy.

As for Xiao Wu, she didn't have a clue what was going on.

"Ahem, don't think the graduation conditions are harsh. You should know that after graduating from our Shrek Academy, you can obtain the title of Viscount from the Empire."

"In fact, among our Shrek Academy graduates, one has already become an elder of Martial Soul Hall, with authority second only to the Pope."

"Is that so, Dean? Then who is this senior who became an elder of Martial Soul Hall?" Ma Hongjun asked with an innocent expression.

Regarding this, Tang San, as a reincarnated God King, naturally knew what was actually going on.

Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong all came from major powers and naturally understood that this was just Flender trying to bluff people.

Ma Hongjun and Oscar came from commoner backgrounds and had no concept of what a Martial Soul Hall elder was, but they knew it was an incredible figure, so they looked at Flender with anticipation.

Yu Xiaolong, as a transmigrator, also knew that Flender was bluffing.

As for Xiao Wu, she didn't have a clue what was going on.

Hearing Ma Hongjun's question, Flender's old face turned red with embarrassment, and he coughed incessantly.

Seeing this, Yu Xiaolong thoughtfully said, "Martial Soul Hall elders act in secrecy and generally do not like to appear in public, so I assume it is inconvenient for the Dean to reveal that senior's name."

"Ah, yes, yes, yes. Xiaolong is absolutely right."

Tang San thought to himself, Yu Xiaolong, you dare to steal my spotlight? You have already invited your own death.

After Ma Hongjun's question, Flender had no heart left to continue his lecture, mainly fearing someone might ask something else, so he dismissed them to go rest.

When lunchtime arrived, everyone was dumbfounded upon seeing the food in the cafeteria.

Dai Mubai, as a prince of Star Luo, naturally wasn't short on money, so he habitually went out to eat.

Ning Rongrong, as the apple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's eye, was the least short on money, so she also went out to eat.

Zhu Zhuqing came from the Zhu family of the Star Luo Nether Duke, and she was also wealthy, but upon seeing the poor quality of the food, she went straight back to her dormitory to cultivate.

As the only two commoner players in Shrek Academy, Oscar and Ma Hongjun had their own ways: Oscar had his big sausages and didn't worry about food, while Ma Hongjun went off to visit the brothels.

Although Tang San came from the Clear Sky Sect, he had no money, so he could only eat in the cafeteria.

As for Xiao Wu, she didn't have a clue what was going on.

"What is this thing? Can it even be eaten?" Xiao Wu complained.

"Xiao Wu, don't waste food. Just eat it," Tang San said.

"I know, Brother San."

But just then, Yu Xiaolong walked up to Xiao Wu.

"Sister Xiao Wu, look at what I prepared for you to eat."

"What is it?"

"A green carrot."

"Are there even green carrots?"

"Of course there are. If you don't believe me, take a look."

Xiao Wu opened the lunch box Yu Xiaolong handed over and took a look. "It really is a green carrot, and it even has green leaves on it. It looks fresh at first glance. Thank you, Xiaolong," Xiao Wu said to Yu Xiaolong with a smile on her face.

"You're welcome, Sister Xiao Wu."

Tang San looked at the green carrot in Xiao Wu's hand, then thought about his own head, and his eyes were practically spitting fire.

At this moment, Xiao Wu used the green leaves from the green carrot to weave a small green straw hat and placed it on Tang San's head, saying:

"Brother San, look, this little green hat fits perfectly on your head."

At this time, Yu Xiaolong, acting as Tang San's veteran sycophant, naturally had to show some support and chimed in from the side: "That's right, Brother San, that green hat on your head really suits you."

Hearing this, Tang San felt as if his lungs were about to explode. He clenched his fists tightly, his fingernails digging deep into his flesh.

Just at this moment, Ma Hongjun returned from the brothel and arrived at the cafeteria. As soon as he saw Tang San, he blurted out: "Brother San, why are you wearing a green hat on your head?"
