Are There Still Experts?

Feeling Little Fire Dragon's gaze, as if it wanted to melt him away, Huo Yuhao paid it no mind and continued asking, "How are those Spirit Ice Barriers selling?"

For that batch of Spirit Ice Barriers from several months ago, the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect had, as a gesture of sincerity and at Huo Yuhao's request, directly given him a share based on the estimated sales revenue.

Later, he learned that the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect seemed to have divided the Spirit Ice Barriers into batches and auctioned them in different locations in pursuit of maximum profit.

As for the exact auction prices, Huo Yuhao had not bothered to look into them.

Upon hearing this, Ning Tian immediately revealed a surprised expression.

Her blue eyes examined Huo Yuhao from head to toe. She had not expected that the boy who had seemed somewhat shy and delicate a few months ago would now possess such an otherworldly bearing.

"So it was you. How did you..."

Wu Feng watched as the two suddenly became so familiar with each other. Her young mistress even seemed extremely interested in that boy.

But the problem was that she did not know the boy at all. When had someone stolen her home turf?

At this moment, Wu Feng felt completely like an outsider.

She watched the two beside her talk from Soul Tools to Soul Rings, from Shrek City to the Sun Moon Empire, able to converse about practically anything.

Meanwhile, she was merely a personal guard. She did not understand any of this at all!

Seeing her young mistress purse her lips in a smile, Wu Feng became even more depressed.

It had been a long time since she had seen her young mistress look so relaxed and happy.

Time quietly passed, and before they knew it, half a quarter-hour had gone by.

Class Nine's homeroom teacher, Mu Jin, finally strolled into the classroom.

Mu Jin stepped onto the podium, and the class that had still been chatting and laughing immediately fell silent.

Apparently, students fearing teachers was simply instinctive.

Mu Jin looked over the quiet classroom, swept her gaze around the room, then nodded in satisfaction. "All right, Wang Dong, come in."

As her words fell, a youth with short pink-blue hair entered through the classroom door.

Wang Dong'er's appearance startled most of the Class Nine students.

Another expert?

All the boys aside from Huo Yuhao cast hostile looks toward Wang Dong'er.

That black-haired boy was already handsome enough, and now another one who was no less impressive had shown up?

Were ordinary boys like them supposed to survive at all?

Xiao Xiao looked at Wang Dong'er as she entered, then turned to glance at the black-haired boy from earlier.

After silently comparing them, she felt that the black-haired boy was more to her taste.

Though she was undeniably obsessed with looks, compared to Wang Dong'er's somewhat feminine beauty, Huo Yuhao's gentle, jade-like refinement and noble, ethereal aura drew her attention more.

Even so, Xiao Xiao could not help sneaking a few more glances at Wang Dong'er. Looking was free, after all.

"This is Wang Dong, a new student joining our Freshman Class 9. Come, Wang Dong. Introduce yourself to your classmates."

Wang Dong'er nodded, walked onto the podium, and began introducing herself with a somewhat flamboyant air.

From the instant Wang Dong'er entered, Huo Yuhao's expression had become somewhat uncertain.

Clearly, he had not expected Wang Dong'er to appear by his side in this manner.

Tang San's divine consciousness still existed within Wang Dong'er's Spiritual Sea. He had originally planned to wait until Teacher Electrolux awakened before finding a way to deal with that strand of divine consciousness.

But now, had Tang San in the God Realm begun making new moves?

Seeing that Huo Yuhao beside her seemed somewhat off, Ning Tian asked softly, "Yuhao, what's wrong? Do you know that Wang Dong?"

Wu Feng hurriedly interrupted, "Young Mistress, it must be because Wang Dong's looks are no worse than his, so he—"

Before Wu Feng could finish, Ning Tian reached out and covered her mouth.

"Feng Mei, don't talk nonsense. And haven't I told you? At the academy, we address each other as sisters."

At that moment, in the God Realm Committee, Tang San's formerly smiling face suddenly darkened.

"Why has Xiao Qi moved away from that Child of Destiny? Was it that damned Plane Consciousness interfering again?"

The God of Destruction, seated across from Tang San, watched his changing expression with a thoughtful look.

Mu Jin looked at Wang Dong'er, whose words were proper and whose bearing was elegant, and felt increasingly satisfied.

This student exuded good upbringing in every gesture. Zhou Yi truly had no eye for talent, letting her pick up such a bargain for nothing.

As her thoughts wandered, she recalled that when she had taken Wang Dong away, Zhou Yi's students had seemingly already been forced by her to go downstairs and run laps around Shrek Plaza.

She wondered how many students that woman would expel this time.

In any case, the more students Zhou Yi expelled, the greater Mu Jin's confidence in bringing her down would be during the Freshman Assessment three months later.

If not for Fan Yu protecting her, the academy probably would have been unable to tolerate that madwoman's outrageous behavior long ago.

At this thought, Mu Jin could not help gritting her teeth in secret again.

After Wang Dong'er finished her introduction, Mu Jin composed herself and glanced over the empty seats in the classroom. She pointed to the vacant seat beside Huo Yuhao and said:

"All right, Wang Dong. Sit beside Huo Yuhao for now."

She paused, then added,

"I remember that Huo Yuhao, you currently have a dorm room to yourself? Hmm... perfect. After class today, Wang Dong, move from your original dorm into his and stay with Huo Yuhao. You can look after each other."

Upon hearing Mu Jin's words, Wang Dong'er's mouth twitched almost imperceptibly.

She had no desire to live in that shabby dormitory.

However, although she was proud and unruly, she was not someone who failed to appreciate kindness.

Teacher Mu Jin had, after all, taken her from Zhou Yi despite the pressure she faced. She still had to give her that much face.

Thus, she nodded slightly to show that she understood.

Me nodding in agreement does not mean I'm actually going to live in an Outer Court dorm.

Huo Yuhao looked calmly at Wang Dong'er as she gracefully sat down beside him.

This silly goose had not been beaten into submission by him this time, and she seemed even prouder than when they had first met in his previous life.

Wang Dong'er also turned her head, blinking those lovely pink-blue eyes as she curiously examined Huo Yuhao beside her.

She was equally surprised that someone could rival her in appearance.

After all, the martial soul she had awakened was the Light Goddess Butterfly, the pinnacle of beauty among beast martial souls.

Yet she had not expected that there would be someone at Shrek Academy whose looks could match her own.

Wang Dong'er thought rather "maliciously" that Huo Yuhao's martial soul could not possibly be the Dark God Moth, could it?

At the thought, she nearly laughed aloud and hurriedly kept a straight face.

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Mu Jin. Until the Freshman Assessment three months from now, before you are reassigned to new classes, I will be your homeroom teacher."

Mu Jin's voice rang clearly through the classroom.

"I know that you are all talents carefully selected from nations across the continent. In your original homes, among your peers, you could absolutely be called 'elites.'"

At this, apart from a small number of students with steady temperaments who remained calm, a trace of pride appeared in most of the class's eyes.

Quite a few unconsciously straightened their backs, their faces unable to conceal their self-satisfaction.

If they were not exceptionally talented, how could they have entered Shrek Academy to study?
