An Unhappy Wang Dong'er

Huo Yuhao was taken aback by these words. He raised his eyes to look at the "young man" who was excessively beautiful, his face showing a mix of confusion and politeness as he asked:

"It is me. May I ask what you need?"

The "young man" with powder-blue hair let out a scoff, crossing his arms and looking him up and down.

As his gaze swept over the pile of gifts of all sizes clutched in Huo Yuhao's arms, then over the circle of senior sisters surrounding him like protective mother hens, the displeasure in his eyes deepened. He spoke in a mocking, sarcastic tone:

"Nothing much. I just wanted to see what kind of person could be so popular, surrounded and pampered by so many people the moment they entered the academy."

She took another step forward, her posture upright, a solid fluctuation of soul power faintly radiating from her body. Lifting her chin, her beautiful eyes filled with arrogant provocation, she said word by word:

"Also, I want to spar with you. Let's have a fight!"

Wang Dong'er was very annoyed right now.

Although she had come to Shrek disguised as a boy, relying on this exquisite, beautiful face and her two-ring cultivation, she had long since made up her mind to be the most eye-catching person among the freshmen on the very first day!

She had even imagined that when she went to register, she would surely be surrounded and pampered by countless classmates, becoming the focus of the entire freshman district!

But reality had slapped her hard in the face.

From the moment she arrived at the registration desk, few people had cast a glance her way.

Everyone was chattering about a freshman named Huo Yuhao, talking about how good-looking he was and how clean his temperament seemed.

Even the senior sisters at the registration desk had swarmed toward him, surrounding him so tightly that not even a drop of water could pass through.

She stood to the side, watching helplessly as that kid with only twelve levels of soul power was pampered and showered with gifts by a crowd, stealing all the limelight from the registration desk all the way to the dormitory building.

Why?

Was it just because he was a bit better looking?

Shrek was a place that spoke through strength, not a place to gain attention based on one's face!

This Huo Yuhao, was absolutely unforgivable!

It was this fire, growing ever hotter, that led her to block the entrance of the dormitory building, determined to have a match with Huo Yuhao and win back all the face she had lost!

Meanwhile, in the sea of consciousness, the moment Zhao Ze saw the "young man" with powder-blue hair at the entrance, the smile on his face vanished instantly.

His brows furrowed tightly, and he spoke to Huo Yuhao in an unprecedentedly serious tone:

"Yuhao, try your best to avoid contact with this person. Stay as far away from her as possible, or you will become incredibly unlucky in the future!"

In the original story, it was from the moment Huo Yuhao made contact with her that he was step-by-step trapped by Tang San, becoming his puppet, his dog.

Zhao Ze did not want Huo Yuhao to walk down that path, so it was better to stay away from Wang Dong'er.

Huo Yuhao felt a chill in his heart. He trusted his master's words implicitly and nodded quickly:

"I understand, Master. I will just stay away from her."

He had no fondness for someone who started off with cold sarcasm and looked so difficult to get along with; he had no desire for any involvement at all.

Having made up his mind, Huo Yuhao looked up at Wang Dong'er, took half a step back while clutching his gifts, and spoke politely but distantly:

"I'm sorry, I don't want to spar with you. I still need to go pick my dormitory, please move aside."

After saying this, he clutched his things and tried to walk around Wang Dong'er to enter the dormitory building.

But the moment he took a step, Wang Dong'er immediately turned sideways, blocking his path once again.

Her brows were knit tightly, her beautiful peach-blossom eyes filled with unhappiness, and her tone hardened:

"No! You aren't stepping through this door until you fight me today!"

Seeing her unreasonable behavior, the originally gentle look in Huo Yuhao's eyes turned cold, and a spark of anger rose in his heart.

Having suffered endless harassment at the White Tiger Duke Mansion since he was a child, the thing he hated most was this kind of unprovoked picking of fights.

Just as he was about to say something, the senior sisters surrounding him exploded.

"What is wrong with you? The academy dormitory isn't owned by your family, so why are you blocking people from entering?"

"Exactly! You look like a decent person, so why is your character so rotten? Someone doesn't want to fight you, yet you're forcing them to?"

"No way, no way. Does someone really think it's cool to force a freshman to spar? What a boring, childish idea!"

"Junior Brother Yuhao, don't be afraid! If he dares to make a move, we sisters will beat him up for you!"

Each word of dissatisfaction pierced Wang Dong'er's ears like needles.

Her face turned bright red instantly, both ashamed and angry, her fingertips even trembling slightly.

She had only been annoyed for a moment and wanted to spar with Huo Yuhao to regain the spotlight; she never expected it to turn into this.

Not only did she fail to regain face, but she had also invited the disgust of so many people.

But the words had already been spoken, and she was already blocking the way; if she backed down now, wouldn't she lose even more face?

She could only hold her ground, raising her voice at the group of senior sisters, pretending to be calm as she shouted:

"Don't meddle in other people's business! I'm looking for Huo Yuhao, it has nothing to do with you!"

Immediately, she whipped her head around to look at Huo Yuhao, resorting to provocation with eyes full of defiance:

"Huo Yuhao! You're too scared to accept the challenge, aren't you? Can you only hide behind a bunch of women like a coward? With that little bit of guts, you still have the nerve to attend Shrek Academy?"

This remark struck precisely at the point Huo Yuhao cared about most.

Having been called trash and a weakling since childhood, the thing he could tolerate the least was being labeled as such by others.

He had come to Shrek to become stronger, to ensure that no one would ever dare look down on him again; how could he stand being mocked like this in public?!

Huo Yuhao's brows furrowed tightly in an instant, and his initial inclination to back down vanished completely.

He took a deep breath and said in a low, heavy voice to Zhao Ze within his sea of consciousness:

"Master, I want to accept the challenge! I don't want to be looked down upon like this!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ze nodded immediately, his tone carrying a hint of ruthlessness yet filled with certainty:

"Good! Then it's the perfect chance to give her a sound beating, let her know how high the sky and how deep the earth is, and make sure she stops coming to find trouble with you for no reason. Rest assured, the life force I've infused into you has raised your constitution by a significant margin. Coupled with your Ultimate Spirit attribute soul skills, handling her will be a breeze."

With these words from his master, Huo Yuhao's heart instantly steadied.

He carefully found a place to set down the gifts he was clutching tightly in his arms.

He then raised his eyes to look at Wang Dong'er, his back straightened, his lean, youthful frame radiating an unyielding tenacity that could not be ignored, his tone calm yet firm:

"Fine, I'll fight you. Let's do it."

Seeing this, the senior sisters all wore expressions of worry; just as they were about to offer advice, they saw Huo Yuhao flash a confident smile:

"Don't worry, everyone, I will win."

"Hmph, you think you can?"

Seeing this, Wang Dong'er let out a scoff, turned around, and walked to the flat lawn in front of the dormitory building.

She clenched her fists, her knuckles popping with a faint sound, and waves of soul power faintly emanated from her body, yet she still looked at the approaching Huo Yuhao with utter disdain:

"To deal with a level 12 soul master like you, I don't even need to release my martial soul. Today, I'm going to flatten that face of yours that's been stealing all the spotlight, and let you know that Shrek isn't a place where you can get by just on your looks!"
