Class Officer Selection, Mu En's Arrival

After Wang Dong'er lost, it meant Tang Wulin's team had won the battle. There was no need to continue the remaining fights. Their Virtual Pods opened, and they stepped out.

Wang Dong'er could still feel the pain from being slammed to the ground. Was the Simulation of these Virtual Pods really that realistic? Even the pain felt so real. But... soon, she cast Tang Wulin an exceedingly resentful look.

He had looked so kind and familiar.

But!

When this guy attacked her, he really showed no mercy at all! He did not know how to go easy on a girl!

Wang Dong'er held a grudge against Tang Wulin. He had gone way too far.

Since childhood, she had been the beloved little princess of the Clear Sky Sect, showered with attention by everyone around her. When had she ever suffered such humiliation? And at the hands of a boy she had just met, no less—treated like a punching bag and smashed around?

Meeting the girl's gaze, Tang Wulin froze for a moment before scratching his head and revealing a slightly apologetic smile.

That smile was clean and bright, like the boy next door beneath the sunlight. It made it hard to truly get angry at him.

"Sorry."

Tang Wulin looked at Wang Dong'er, his tone sincere.

"Because this was a battle."

"If I didn't give it my all, that would be disrespecting you."

"And... you really are strong. If I hadn't done that, I wouldn't have been sure I could beat you."

His words were flawless.

He had expressed his apology, affirmed Wang Dong'er's strength, and even explained why he had attacked so ruthlessly.

Wang Dong'er opened her mouth. He said she was strong, yet neither of her two soul skills could break through his defense, and Tang Wulin had even defeated her in a single move. Did that count as being strong?

Was this guy mocking her?

But looking into Tang Wulin's eyes, it did not seem like he was.

"You..."

She held it in for a long while before finally letting out an indignant snort.

"Ahem."

Shen Yi cleared her throat, and her sweet voice rang out once more.

"Alright, pull yourselves together."

"The results of the virtual combat are out, and everyone saw the entire process."

"Now that the competition is over, it is time to decide the class officers."

"First, the class monitor."

She turned around, her gaze falling on Tang Wulin. Her eyes held undisguised admiration.

"Tang Wulin's group achieved the final victory. During the battle, Tang Wulin, as the core, displayed overwhelming superiority in both tactical command and individual combat strength."

"Therefore, Tang Wulin will serve as class monitor."

That purple first soul ring, along with the dominance of that one-punch victory, had been enough to conquer them. No one objected.

"Next are the vice class monitors."

Shen Yi continued.

"According to the rules, the other two members of the winning team automatically receive the vice class monitor positions."

"Xie Xie, Xiao Feng."

"Present!"

Xie Xie and Xiao Feng immediately sprang to their feet, unable to hide the smug grins on their faces.

"The class monitor and two vice class monitors have now been decided."

"However, according to our class structure, we still need one more vice class monitor."

"This position..."

Shen Yi's gaze passed over the crowd before finally landing on Xiao Xiao and Xi Er, who were sitting beside Wang Dong'er.

"Although Wang Dong'er was eliminated in the previous battle, Xiao Xiao and Xi Er survived until the very end, until the other side won."

"By the rules, the two of you are also among the final survivors."

"So, Teacher Shen would like to ask you."

Shen Yi smiled at the two of them.

"Which of you wants this vice class monitor position?"

The atmosphere in the classroom instantly became somewhat subtle.

Quite a few people looked toward the two girls.

They might have been survivors, but anyone with eyes could see that Tang Wulin's group simply had not bothered to take them out.

Xiao Xiao and Xi Er exchanged a glance.

Without nearly any hesitation, they shook their heads at the same time.

Then, in unison, they turned to look at Wang Dong'er.

"Teacher Shen."

Xiao Xiao stood up, her voice crisp and resolute.

"Can this vice class monitor position be given to Dong'er?"

"Oh?"

Shen Yi raised an eyebrow.

"Why? Opportunities like this are rare, and it concerns the allocation of cultivation resources in the future."

"Because Dong'er is stronger than us."

Xi Er stood up as well.

"If Dong'er hadn't charged ahead and fought at the front all this way, we could never have made it to the end."

Xiao Xiao took over, speaking earnestly.

"If we are talking about contributions to the team and overall individual strength, I think Dong'er is more qualified to hold this position."

"And..."

Wang Dong'er was also stunned, looking at the two close friends beside her in surprise.

She had not expected them to be so loyal.

"You two..."

A wave of warmth surged through Wang Dong'er's heart. The frustration that had built up after losing the battle instantly faded by more than half.

"Alright."

Shen Yi nodded, a satisfied smile appearing on her face.

"You know how to yield to others. You two are quite admirable."

"Since no one has any objections, then..."

"The third vice class monitor—Wang Dong'er."

As her name was announced, Wang Dong'er took a deep breath and rose to her feet.

She first gave Xiao Xiao and Xi Er a grateful glance before turning her eyes toward Tang Wulin again.

Vice class monitor is fine.

She silently said to herself.

Tang Wulin, just wait.

One day, I'll get rid of that 'vice' and make you my deputy!

At the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest, three figures had arrived.

They were Bei Bei, Mu En, and Elder Lin.

"Bei Bei."

Elder Lin raised her head and looked toward the seemingly endless sky, her brows knitting slightly.

"Are you sure the legendary Shrek Academy is in the sky above this place?"

"Elder Lin, there's no mistake."

At this point, Bei Bei turned to look at Mu En in his wheelchair, concern flashing through his eyes.

"Grand Ancestor, your health..."

Mu En shook his head, then looked toward Elder Lin. Because he could not straighten his waist, this kind of flight was a burden for him. That was why he had brought Elder Lin along. If he had been in better condition, he would have come alone.

"Prepare to set off."

Initially, Elder Lin had wanted to bring several more Sea God Pavilion Elders.

After all, they were going to make contact with an unknown force that might possess an extremely powerful foundation.

But Mu En had stopped her.

The reason was simple.

Shrek Academy was currently at the center of the storm.

If the Sea God Pavilion Elders all mobilized and appeared in the Star Dou Forest, it would inevitably provoke unnecessary panic and speculation.

It might even alarm the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Forest.

Therefore, they had to keep a low profile.

Bei Bei would lead the way, Elder Lin would provide protection and transportation, while Mu En, as the highest-ranking decision-maker, would handle the negotiations and make the final call.

"Understood. Get ready."

Elder Lin glanced at the two of them and spoke in a deep voice.

"Rise!"

Elder Lin gave a low shout, and a gentle yet immense wave of Soul Power suddenly erupted from her body.

There were no dazzling soul rings flashing. Mere control of Soul Power was enough to display the terrifying strength of a Super Douluo.

That dark green Soul Power gathered like clouds, steadily lifting Mu En along with his wheelchair, as well as Bei Bei at his side.

The next moment.

The three of them shot into the sky like arrows released from a bow!

"Whoosh—whoosh—"

The sound of the wind around them grew louder and louder, while the scenery rapidly receded.

Elder Lin raised a Soul Power barrier, blocking out the icy wind and rushing air to ensure a stable journey.

Finally.

After flying several thousand meters and passing through a thick sea of clouds.

Their view suddenly opened up.

An incomparably massive Floating Island burst into the sight of all three!
