Sister Lexuan, Forget It, Forget It!

If it were only a matter of defeating Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao with the force of a thunderbolt, and giving that Chun Sanxiang a harsh lesson, You Jie would have no need to specifically summon the Seven-Star Great Monster. A single Scrap Iron Fist would be enough to blow the heads off those three.

Even if the power Tang San left within Wang Dong were to activate directly, it might not be able to withstand that punch—You Jie was intimately familiar with the art of stacking attack power for his Junk Warrior.

The counter-attack power Tang San left on Wang Dong was not particularly high in intensity, and even if it carried special attack effects, You Jie could use various methods to nullify Tang San's influence.

After all, although Tang San was both the Sea God and the Asura God, due to the Dead Wife Douluo's notoriously tragic grasp of science and logic, if one were to truly be pedantic, the actual prestige of the gods in this world might not compare to a powerful Lion Wizard. Naturally, they could not enjoy the bonus of the phrase, "This is no monster, this is a god!"

However, You Jie was not some villain.

If he really unleashed a Scrap Iron Fist, setting aside that fat pig who for some reason made You Jie feel exceptionally annoyed, Xiao Xiao's martial soul would certainly be shattered by the punch, which did not align with You Jie's personal code of conduct.

Moreover... while the Split Warrior was fierce and soul-shaking, its appearance looked... a bit silly, and it couldn't instill much fear in others. Thus, You Jie specifically pulled out a two-star monster, summoning the Junk Berserker—a guy who looked like a super-tough man at first glance, with an oppressive aura that shot straight through the roof.

Just that giant axe alone looked like it could turn Xiao Xiao into Xiao Xiao-sauce.

The next moment, following the Junk Berserker's attack, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were sent flying like cannonballs, and Zhou Yi once again experienced the feeling of being knocked away by her own students.

As for that Chun Sanxiang... she had already been carried away by the teachers responsible for medical treatment.

"Phew, although summoning a Seven-Star Great Monster is still a bit tiring, the subsequent battles should still be manageable, and besides..."

After securing victory, You Jie looked at the four remaining teams in the same group.

He saw them staring at him with fearful eyes, not daring to meet his gaze for even a second, as if You Jie were some heinous arch-demon.

Clearly, the strength You Jie had displayed made them deem him invincible. Rather than being thrashed by You Jie and his two teammates, it was better to simply concede, then earn points from other teams to become one of the final sixty-four.

"You Jie, you went a bit too far..."

That evening, while eating with You Jie, Zhang Lexuan frowned and complained after hearing about his experience during the freshman assessment.

"Sister Lexuan, you don't know what kind of freak that Wang Dong is. It's one thing that he claims to be a boy while his martial soul is a Radiant Goddess Butterfly; I could at most treat him as having a girl's body and a boy's heart.

"But not long after school started, she inexplicably came to find me, and while talking to me, she even intended to launch an extremely terrifying mental attack.

"If my third soul skill hadn't happened to be a counter to her, I don't know what state I'd be in right now.

"Furthermore, I investigated later and found that this Wang Dong is actually from the Clear Sky Sect. The Clear Sky Sect cut off the vast majority of non-Clear Sky Hammer soul masters a long time ago. Anyone who can still walk the world under the Clear Sky Sect name and be recognized by the Academy must be a Clear Sky Hammer soul master.

"If I wanted to deal with such a person ruthlessly, the Academy certainly wouldn't agree, so I could only beat her up a bit more to vent my frustration..."

You Jie helplessly told Zhang Lexuan about how Wang Dong had inexplicably sought him out at the start of the term, forcing him to activate Forbidden to escape with his life.

The next moment, although a gentle smile appeared on Zhang Lexuan's face, her eyes and the aura she radiated were not as gentle and lovely as her smile.

Ever since she had "devoured" You Jie in the Sea God Pavilion, Zhang Lexuan no longer suppressed her true personality in front of him. Now that she learned this little bitch Wang Dong had dared to threaten You Jie, and even forced him to use a soul skill as taxing as Forbidden, the anger in her heart was self-evident.

"The little princess of the Clear Sky Sect, does she think there's no one in Shrek Academy who can handle her?

"I wonder if this lazy dog, who clearly has a thousand-year second ring but only had twenty-one levels of soul power upon enrollment, can withstand a hundred-thousand-year soul skill that I worked so hard to obtain!"

"Sister Lexuan, forget it, forget it! This matter really isn't worth you taking action yourself; I can handle it on my own."

Upon hearing that Zhang Lexuan intended to deal with Wang Dong personally, and with a hundred-thousand-year soul skill at that, You Jie immediately stood up to stop her.

Although You Jie knew Wang Dong's identity, he did not yet have a sufficient chain of evidence to make Zhang Lexuan and Mu En believe that Wang Dong was carrying all sorts of unknown filth.

While he had ways to neutralize the divine punishment from Tang San, Zhang Lexuan and Mu En did not possess such abilities.

If they were struck by divine punishment where You Jie couldn't reach them, he would likely regret it for the rest of his life.

However, Zhang Lexuan's reaction served as a reminder to You Jie; he needed to quickly construct a plausible chain of evidence, at least enough to convince Zhang Lexuan and Mu En—the two people in Shrek Academy who treated him best and were most likely to interact with him—that Wang Dong's identity was problematic.

As for Qian Duoduo... with the curse Tang San left in Wang Dong's body, she would feel physical discomfort even touching soul tools other than functional, irreplaceable ones like storage or flight soul tools. It was almost impossible for her to have any deep interaction with Qian Duoduo, the Vice Dean of the Soul Tool Department.

"Then you must be more careful in the future. I will find a way to have Dean Yan and Vice Dean Cai arrange the class assignments after the freshman assessment, at least to ensure that disaster isn't in the same class as you."

After being stopped by You Jie, Zhang Lexuan's anger dissipated quickly, as if the furious expression from a moment ago had never existed.

However, judging by her subsequent arrangements, in her mind, Wang Dong's danger level had already surpassed Zhou Yi and reached the level of Xuan Zi.

"Mm, thank you, Sister Lexuan. If possible, in the final elimination tournament, please have them placed in a different bracket than mine.

"If she can really defeat other opponents and make it to the finals, then I'll just bully them again."

You Jie returned to his seat, trying his best to calm his mood.

The moment Zhang Lexuan "darkened" just now was too terrifying; even his heartbeat had accelerated quite a bit.

However, for some reason, You Jie felt that a darkened Zhang Lexuan possessed a unique kind of beauty...

A strange new fetish had been awakened.
