Ning Rongrong did not dare to delay, the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda radiating brilliant light as two divine beams instantly buffed Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan's aura shifted as well, a flash of resolve flickering within her emerald snake-like pupils.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Jade Phosphorus Divine Light!"
The atmosphere within the courtyard instantly tightened to the breaking point!
A great battle was on the verge of erupting!
However, at this critical juncture.
A calm voice rang out in everyone's ears without any warning.
"Have you made enough of a scene?"
The voice was not loud, yet it possessed a strange, magical power.
The moment the words fell, Tang San's overwhelming Blue Silver Domain, along with the sky-filling vines of Blue Silver Grass, acted as if they had encountered their nemesis, instantly wilting and meekly retreating back into the ground.
It was as if a child throwing a tantrum had suddenly come face-to-face with the strictest of parents.
Tang San was struck as if by a heavy blow, letting out a muffled groan as his face instantly turned deathly pale.
He felt the connection between himself and the Blue Silver Grass being forcibly severed by a will that was far more supreme and ancient!
It was an absolute suppression originating from the depths of his bloodline!
It was the suppression of a subject by their Empress!
Everyone couldn't help but look toward the direction from which the voice had come.
At the entrance of the courtyard, two figures stood where none had been a moment before.
Leading them was a young man in black, handsome of face and elegant in temperament, his eyes as deep as the starry sky, as if they could see through everything in the world.
It was none other than the Dean of Blue Silver Academy, Chen Xuan.
Standing quietly beside him was a woman in a blue dress.
The moment they saw that woman, the entire world went silent.
Oscar subconsciously muttered, "This..."
Even the usually cold Zhu Zhuqing felt a flash of astonishment and self-abasement in her eyes.
The woman was too beautiful.
She was beautiful in a way that didn't seem mortal; every movement and smile carried an innate nobility and gentleness.
Her temperament was ethereal and otherworldly, like a fairy under the moonlight, untainted by the smoke and fire of the human world.
However, Tang San's reaction was completely different from everyone else's.
There was no astonishment, no obsession.
What he felt was only a palpitation and intimacy originating from the depths of his soul.
The moment he saw the woman in the blue dress, the Blue Silver Empress bloodline within him began to boil uncontrollably!
It was an instinctive reaction, like a wanderer seeing their mother, or a subject seeing their monarch!
He even felt an urge to prostrate himself before her!
"Mother..."
A blurred word escaped his lips uncontrollably.
Although the voice was extremely soft, everyone present was a Spirit Master; how could they not hear it?
The crowd was stunned, looking at Tang San as if he were a fool.
"Teacher!"
Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan were overjoyed, quickly stepping forward to bow respectfully to Chen Xuan.
"Greetings, Teacher."
Chen Xuan nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the two sides poised for battle before finally landing on Tang San.
"If you want to enter the academy, go to the gate and register in line."
"If you want to fight, get out and fight elsewhere."
His voice remained calm, yet it carried an irresistible majesty.
Dai Mubai and the others were intimidated by his aura, unable to speak for a moment.
Tang San also recovered from that strange state, his brows locked in a frown as he looked at Chen Xuan.
This person was the Dean of Blue Silver Academy?
Was it he who caused Ning Rongrong to betray Shrek?
And that woman beside him—who exactly was she? Why did she give him such a strange feeling?
Countless questions swirled within his heart.
Chen Xuan paid them no further mind.
He turned his head to look at Ah Yin beside him, his voice softening involuntarily.
"This is Blue Silver Academy; from now on, it is also your home."
Ah Yin looked around with curiosity, her eyes filled with wonder.
She could feel that every inch of land in this academy was brimming with a rich aura of life, a hundred times purer than the world outside.
Here, she felt incredibly comfortable and at ease.
"It's beautiful, Teacher."
Ah Yin praised sincerely, a pure smile blooming on her face.
"I will take you to see your living quarters."
Having said that, Chen Xuan did not linger, leading Ah Yin toward the depths of the courtyard.
From start to finish, he did not spare the five members of Shrek Academy another glance.
It was as if they were nothing more than insignificant ants.
This absolute indifference was more humiliating to Dai Mubai and the others than any verbal insult!
"Damn it!"
Dai Mubai slammed his fist into a stone pillar beside him, cracking the hard stone.
"This is too much!"
Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan walked up to them, looking down from their superior position.
"Now, do you still wish to continue?"
Dugu Yan asked with a cold sneer.
The five members of Shrek fell silent.
Fight?
How could they fight?
The other side's dean hadn't even made a move; with just a single word, he had crippled Tang San's strongest domain.
This gap in strength was not something that could be bridged by willpower or passion alone.
Tang San's fists creaked as he clenched them, his nails digging deep into his palms.
He stared fixedly at the direction where Chen Xuan and Ah Yin had disappeared, his eyes filled with resentment and confusion.
That woman...
Who exactly was she?
That blue figure was branded into Tang San's mind like a searing mark.
"Let's go!"
Dai Mubai gritted his teeth, squeezing the words out through his clenched jaw.
Staying any longer would only invite further humiliation.
"What? You want to leave already?"
Dugu Yan's voice carried a hint of mockery as she blocked their path.
"Weren't you just full of bluster, claiming you were going to 'wake us up'?"
"You!"
Ma Hongjun's evil fire was ignited once more, but Dai Mubai pressed a hand down on him.
"What do you want?"
Dai Mubai forced himself to remain calm, his evil eyes locked onto Dugu Yan.
He knew that today, they had kicked an immovable iron plate.
But the dignity of Shrek could not be trampled upon.
"I admit, your dean is very strong."
Dai Mubai took a deep breath, his voice heavy.
"But that does not mean the students of Blue Silver Academy can look down on us from Shrek!"
"We at Shrek only accept monsters, not ordinary people!"
His voice rang out with conviction.
"Therefore, I, in my capacity as a student of Shrek Academy, formally issue a challenge to your Blue Silver Academy!"
As these words fell, the eyes of Oscar and Ma Hongjun reignited with fighting spirit.
Even Zhu Zhuqing, who had been silent until now, began to radiate a stern aura.
This was their final shred of pride.
Ning Rongrong heard this and merely offered a faint smile, one that carried a trace of pity.
"Dai Mubai, have you still not grasped the situation?"
"Challenging us?"
She shook her head, her tone calm.
"On what grounds?"
"On the grounds that we are the Shrek Seven Devils!"
Dai Mubai roared in anger.
"We demand a team battle! Let our Shrek Five Devils face off against the students of your Blue Silver Academy!"
"Let us see if those raised by your Blue Silver Academy are truly monsters, or just a bunch of trash relying on their status to bully others!"
