"Nannan, why are you here?"
Just as the crowd was chattering incessantly, Jiang Yang walked up to the stunningly beautiful girl.
He truly had not expected Jiang Nannan to come looking for him.
After all, this was only the second morning since he had enrolled.
"Nannan? What exactly is his relationship with that gorgeous senior?!"
"Ah, no!!"
"Stop howling like a ghost for a second. Haven't you noticed that the freshman is much younger than the senior? Why did the senior call him 'brother'?"
"You wouldn't understand, you virgin!"
"So what if I'm a virgin?!"
"..."
This was, after all, the freshman dormitory, and it was the day of admissions, with such a beauty appearing here.
The explosive gossip that followed was, naturally, to be expected.
Never mind these freshmen; in just this short span of time, all sorts of rumors had already taken flight and were spreading across Shrek Academy like they had wings.
"I heard from Teacher Li at the admissions office that you came to register yesterday. I hadn't finished my seclusion at that time, so I came to see you today. You don't mind that I'm late, do you?"
Jiang Nannan smiled with a hint of apology, then raised her hand to offer the breakfast she had prepared to Jiang Yang.
The beauty who usually seemed like an iceberg was radiant and sunny in front of this young man.
This immediately caused a group of adolescent boys to clutch their chests tightly, as if they couldn't catch their breath.
"Didn't I tell you? You don't need to do this. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were my maid."
"If it were possible, I wouldn't mind."
"Ah?"
Wang Dong suddenly cried out.
This immediately drew more than half of the crowd's attention toward him.
Startled, he hurriedly covered his small mouth in a panic.
"Nannan, we are friends, not master and servant... Forget it, let me introduce you. This is Wang Dong, my roommate, and also a person of great principle."
"Jiang Nannan, my best friend, and also the number one beauty of the Shrek Academy outer courtyard."
Upon hearing Jiang Yang's introduction.
Strange expressions flickered in the eyes of both Wang Dong and Jiang Nannan.
However, Wang Dong's reaction was more subtle, while Jiang Nannan's joy was plain for all to see.
"Hello, Senior Nannan."
"Hello, Wang Dong."
"Alright, now that you've met, let's talk as we walk. This isn't the place for a conversation."
Jiang Yang took the breakfast Jiang Nannan offered and led the way outside.
Jiang Nannan naturally smiled and followed behind him. Ever since Jiang Yang had helped her save her mother and provided her with dozens of acres of farmland for her retirement, she had secretly made a vow: in this life, she would never let Jiang Yang down.
Whatever he asked, she would never refuse.
As for why Wang Dong was also following behind Jiang Yang, that remained a mystery.
"Let's see who dares to bewitch my Nannan!"
Just then.
A sudden shout rang out.
The students who had been crowding around immediately cleared a path.
Following that.
Two men and one woman appeared in everyone's line of sight.
The person who spoke was clearly the young man wearing the black uniform of a sixth-year student, holding a folding fan in his hand.
"Xu Sanshi! Watch your tone!!"
The moment Jiang Nannan saw the newcomer, the bright expression on her face instantly turned frosty.
"Nannan! I was just... afraid you were being deceived by a bad person!"
Xu Sanshi's voice softened immediately.
However.
He then walked toward Jiang Yang, "So you're the freshman who bewitched my Nannan? Let me tell you, don't get too cocky as a freshman, lest you suffer some physical pain!"
"Xu Sanshi, you—"
Jiang Nannan was just about to flare up when Jiang Yang raised a hand to interrupt her.
This scene, falling into the eyes of Xu Sanshi, only made his fury burn even hotter.
"There's no need for empty threats. You're already half-buried in the grave, yet you're still just a three-ring Soul Elder; is this what you rely on?"
He truly knew how to shock the crowd with his words.
As soon as these words were spoken.
A fresh wave of gasps swept through the scene.
The motto of Shrek Academy was to only accept monsters and never ordinary people, which resulted in extremely arrogant individuals appearing among the freshmen every year.
Yet, even the most arrogant freshman had never provoked a sixth-year senior in such a manner.
One had to know, the gap between a freshman and a sixth-year senior was not merely a matter of grade levels!
The difference in grade often meant a massive disparity in strength and soul power.
"Is this guy sick in the head?"
Someone whispered this aloud.
Immediately, a chorus of chatter erupted, with many voices claiming that Jiang Yang was posturing far too much.
"Kid, trying to act cool in front of this young master? Do you actually think that we at Shrek Academy don't allow internal fighting?"
"If you have the guts, then come with me to the Soul Fighting Arena right now. Let's have a real man's one-on-one, how about it?"
"Do you dare?!"
Xu Sanshi snapped his folding fan shut with a sharp "clack!", as if venting his rage.
"A three-ring Soul Elder of your age isn't worth my effort. I suggest you reach the Soul Ancestor realm before coming to challenge me."
"Although that won't change the outcome much, at least it might make your defeat a little more convincing."
"You!"
"Pfft... mmph!"
Just as Jiang Yang finished speaking and Xu Sanshi stood there with a face flushed red from being retorted, Wang Dong suddenly let out a laugh.
She seemed to be reminded of the scene from last night, and it appeared that Jiang Yang wasn't intentionally targeting her, but rather, he was the same toward everyone.
Of course.
Only those who had truly crossed hands with Jiang Yang knew how terrifying he was.
Therefore, Wang Dong did not doubt the meaning behind Jiang Yang's words in the slightest, but there was one thing she found quite strange.
Why would a youth of similar age to her possess such formidable strength?
One had to know, an aura like that was difficult to fake, especially when faced with a situation where the other party might strike at the slightest disagreement.
"You're courting death!"
Already brimming with anger, Xu Sanshi could no longer suppress the fire in his heart and let out a roar, his sandbag-sized fist instantly hurtling toward Jiang Yang's face.
The speed was so fast that even Jiang Nannan failed to react in time.
Only the man who had followed closely behind him had sharp enough eyes to see it, instinctively shouting: "Sanshi, what are you doing?!"
And the girl with the high ponytail beside that man only reacted after hearing the shout.
"Hey! Xu Sanshi, how can you hit a freshman! Have you no shame!"
However.
It was already too late.
"Crack—"
The next moment.
A muffled sound of bone fracturing suddenly rang out, followed immediately by a loud "Bang!"
Everyone was stunned.
No one believed this would be the result.
But the facts were right before their eyes, leaving no room for anyone to deny it.
"No—Xu Sanshi! I'll have your life!!"
