Xuan Zi: You Fake Shrek, This Old Man Will Teach You a Lesson!

The moment Huo Yuhao decided to stay and take the assessment.

A pleasant system notification sounded in Lin Feng's mind once more.

[Ding!]

[Detected that the Chosen One, Huo Yuhao, has increased his recognition of Shrek Academy as a Monster Academy!]

[Reward: Special Teacher—Shen Yi (Unlocked)!]

Lin Feng glanced at the system panel without giving anything away, the corners of his lips lifting slightly.

Shen Yi, the teacher responsible for Outer Court instruction in the original work, was quite capable. She would be perfect for handling external affairs and basic tasks.

"Since the two of you do not intend to join Shrek Academy..."

Lin Feng turned to Bei Bei and Tang Ya, his tone as gentle as ever.

"Then I'll have someone take you down."

With that, he took a rectangular metal slab from his pocket.

That was... a Communication Soul Tool?

Bei Bei and Tang Ya curiously watched the glowing screen. Lin Feng tapped it a few times, then held it to his ear.

"Hello, Teacher Shen?"

"Come to the main hall and escort two guests down the mountain."

Before long, light footsteps approached.

The doors of the main hall were pushed open, and a slender figure walked in.

"Headmaster, you summoned me?"

She was a young woman who looked to be in her early twenties.

Her snow-white silver hair fell casually over her shoulders, the ends slightly curled and carrying a touch of languid charm.

Most striking of all were her dark green eyes, clear and profound, exceptionally captivating.

Her features were delicate and defined, her skin fair as snow. She wore a fitted dark green teacher's uniform that outlined her graceful curves.

"She's... so beautiful..."

Tang Ya could not help murmuring in admiration, a trace of envy flashing through her eyes.

Bei Bei was also slightly stunned. He quickly withdrew his gaze, secretly sighing to himself.

This teacher looked so young.

"Teacher Shen, these two are friends from another Shrek Academy."

Lin Feng gave a brief introduction.

"Please take the hovercar and send them back down to the ground."

Shen Yi nodded slightly. Her gaze swept across Bei Bei and Tang Ya before she politely gestured for them to follow.

"Please come with me."

They once again entered that hovercar brimming with futuristic technology.

Even though it was their second ride, Bei Bei and Tang Ya could not help marveling inwardly.

This Soul Tool was seriously incredible!

Soon, the hovercar passed through the clouds and slowly descended into the forest clearing where they had met before.

"We're here."

Shen Yi brought the vehicle to a stop, and the door slid open automatically.

However.

The instant the three of them stepped out.

"ROAR—!!!"

A deafening roar suddenly erupted from the dense forest nearby!

Immediately afterward, a suffocatingly terrifying aura swept over them like a tsunami, instantly shrouding the entire area!

"This aura..."

Bei Bei's expression changed drastically. He instinctively shielded Tang Ya behind him, his pupils contracting sharply.

"A ten-thousand-year soul beast?!"

Tang Ya's face went pale with fright, and her body trembled slightly.

"How is that possible? This is the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest! Why would a ten-thousand-year soul beast suddenly appear here?!"

Under normal circumstances, ten-thousand-year soul beasts should live deep within the mixed zone. The outer regions at most saw thousand-year soul beasts.

But that terrifying pressure could not be faked!

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Heavy footsteps made the ground tremble.

A gigantic black bear, over five meters tall and covered entirely in black fur, smashed through several trees and charged out of the forest!

Thick black mist poured from its body. Its eyes were blood-red, its fangs bared, and several savage wounds covered its body. It had clearly just gone through a fierce battle and was in an extremely frenzied state!

A Bloodthirsty Demon Bear!

And judging by its size and aura, it had at least twenty-five thousand years of cultivation!

This is bad!

Bei Bei inwardly cried out.

Faced with a ten-thousand-year soul beast of this level, even if he and Tang Ya joined forces, they would be no match for it!

They might not even be able to escape!

Just as the two prepared to risk their lives.

A slender figure appeared in front of them at some unknown point.

It was Shen Yi.

She still stood there quietly, her dark green uniform snapping in the gale, yet not a trace of panic could be seen on her face.

"Don't worry."

Shen Yi's voice was calm.

"I'll handle it."

Bei Bei froze. Looking at Shen Yi's somewhat slender back, his heart was filled with doubt.

Teacher Shen looked like she was only in her twenties, didn't she?

Could she really handle a frenzied ten-thousand-year Bloodthirsty Demon Bear?

The next moment.

Shen Yi moved.

There was no flashy buildup to a soul skill, nor did she loudly call out its name.

She merely tapped the ground lightly with the tip of her foot, instantly turning into a dark green afterimage as she charged toward the oncoming Bloodthirsty Demon Bear!

"ROAR!"

The Bloodthirsty Demon Bear let out an enraged bellow. Its massive paw, carrying a howling gust of wind, smashed fiercely toward this foolish human!

However.

Just as the bear paw was about to strike Shen Yi.

Her figure suddenly twisted in an eerie motion, dodging the fatal blow at an unimaginable angle.

Immediately afterward.

A dazzling dark green radiance bloomed in her hand!

A slender blade of light, formed from pure Soul Power, appeared in her grasp!

"Slash—"

A soft sound rang out.

Shen Yi's figure swept past the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear's side, landing lightly in the clearing behind it.

The Bloodthirsty Demon Bear, which had been charging wildly, suddenly froze.

The next second.

A thin line of blood appeared across its neck.

Then blood burst forth like a fountain!

Its enormous bear head slowly slid off, and its colossal body crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

One strike!

Instant kill!

"This..."

Bei Bei and Tang Ya were completely dumbfounded, their mouths hanging wide open.

A ten-thousand-year Bloodthirsty Demon Bear...

Had been dealt with just like that?

Even ordinary Outer Court teachers at their Shrek Academy would never be able to handle such a formidable soul beast!

But Shen Yi?

They had not even seen what her martial soul was before she killed it in one effortless strike?

Was she really an ordinary teacher?

Shen Yi casually dispersed the light blade in her hand. She turned around, her expression as calm as ever, as though she had merely done something trivial.

"It's dealt with."

She looked at the two of them and spoke flatly.

"This place is no longer safe. You should leave as soon as possible."

Only then did Bei Bei and Tang Ya come back to their senses. They hurriedly nodded repeatedly.

"Thank you, Teacher Shen, for saving our lives!"

Shen Yi waved a hand and said nothing more. She turned and entered the hovercar, which shot into the sky as a streak of light.

The two did not leave immediately. Instead, they first helped Tang Ya obtain her third soul ring. Fortunately, they encountered no further danger and successfully found a suitable third soul ring.

After finishing everything, they did not linger and immediately headed toward Shrek Academy.

On the way back.

Tang Ya seemed deeply troubled.

"Bei Bei..."

After hesitating for a moment, she finally asked.

"That Shrek Academy... has the same name as ours."

"And Ye Xinglan even said ours was fake..."

"What if people misunderstand later? Will everyone think that our Shrek Academy is the counterfeit one?"

Bei Bei's expression also grew solemn at her words.

Indeed.

The strength and foundations displayed by that Sky Academy were simply too astonishing.

Whether it was the technologically advanced buildings, the unheard-of Soul Tools, or the terrifyingly powerful students and teachers...

Compared to them, their side really did seem somewhat... weak.

If the world learned that two Shrek Academies existed, it would be difficult to predict where public opinion would lean.

"No matter what, let's report this to the academy first."

Bei Bei sighed.

"This is no longer something we can handle."

Several days later, the two returned to Shrek City, weary from travel.

The moment they entered the academy gates, they were preparing to find Mu En and report the situation.

But by Sea God Lake, they ran headlong into an old man who was greedily gnawing on a huge chicken leg.

He was an elder of Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion, the Taotie Douluo, Xuan Zi.

"Hmm?"

Seeing the two with grave expressions as they hurried along, Xuan Zi stopped chewing his chicken leg and asked indistinctly.

"You two little brats, why are you making those faces?"

"Didn't you go hunt for a soul ring? What happened?"

Bei Bei took a deep breath and stepped forward.

"Elder Xuan, we encountered something major."

He then briefly recounted what they had experienced.

After hearing Bei Bei's account.

The chicken leg in Xuan Zi's hand fell to the ground.

But he did not pick it up. Instead, he abruptly straightened, and a terrifying aura erupted from him instantly!

"What?!"

"Someone actually dares to impersonate our Shrek Academy?!"

Xuan Zi's messy hair stood on end with fury, his eyes blazing with rage.

"They even built an academy in the sky? Made all sorts of bizarre Soul Tools?"

"And they said they would accept even ordinary people, without expelling them?"

"This is utterly outrageous!"

As Shrek Academy's most steadfast supporter, what Xuan Zi could not tolerate most was anyone tarnishing Shrek Academy's glory!

"Lin Feng! You impostor!"

Xuan Zi laughed in extreme rage as the pressure of a rank ninety-eight Super Douluo burst forth without restraint, sending enormous waves rolling across the surrounding lake.

"I want to see just how capable this so-called real Shrek is!"

"How dare they show off in front of Shrek Academy!"

"This old man is going to teach that Lin Feng, who does not know the immensity of heaven and earth, a proper lesson!"
