There are still experts?

Feeling the gaze of the little fire dragon that seemed intent on melting him away, Huo Yuhao paid it no mind and continued to ask, "How have the sales of that batch of Spirit Ice Barrier been?"

For that batch of Spirit Ice Barrier from a few months ago, the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect had directly distributed the estimated sales revenue to him, both to demonstrate their sincerity and because it was Huo Yuhao's request.

He had learned later that the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, seemingly to maximize profits, had split the Spirit Ice Barrier into batches and auctioned them off at various locations.

As for the specific amount raised from the auctions, Huo Yuhao had not bothered to look into it.

Hearing this, Ning Tian's expression immediately shifted to one of surprise.

Her blue eyes scanned Huo Yuhao up and down; she had not expected that the shy and delicate youth from a few months ago would now possess such an ethereal air.

"So it was you, how did you..."

Wu Feng watched as the two suddenly became familiar, the Young Mistress even appearing to take a great interest in the boy.

But the problem was, she didn't recognize this boy at all—when had she been outmaneuvered?

At this moment, Wu Feng felt like a complete outsider.

She watched the two beside her chat about everything from Soul Tool to spirit rings, from Shrek City to the Sun Moon Empire, finding common ground in every aspect.

And she, merely a personal guard, understood none of it!

Seeing her Young Mistress pursing her lips and smiling lightly, Wu Feng's mood grew even more depressed.

It had been a long time since she had seen the Young Mistress look so relaxed and happy.

Time slipped away quietly, and half an incense stick of time passed before they knew it.

Mu Jin, the homeroom teacher of Class Nine, finally arrived late to the classroom.

As Mu Jin walked onto the podium, the class, which had been chatting and laughing, instantly fell silent.

Clearly, students fearing their teacher was a natural instinct.

Mu Jin looked at the quiet classroom, scanned the room, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Alright, Wang Dong, come in."

As her voice fell, a youth with powder-blue short hair walked in through the classroom door.

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

Are there even more experts?

Aside from Huo Yuhao, the other boys cast hostile glares toward Wang Dong'er.

The black-haired youth from before was already handsome enough, and now another one of equal caliber had arrived?

Do they even want the rest of us ordinary boys to survive?

Xiao Xiao looked at Wang Dong'er as he walked in, then turned her head to glance at the black-haired youth from before.

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

Although she was an out-and-out fan of good looks, compared to the feminine and delicate Wang Dong'er, Huo Yuhao, with his gentle, jade-like nature and noble, ethereal temperament, attracted her attention more.

However, even so, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but take a few extra looks at Wang Dong'er; looking didn't cost anything, after all.

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

Wang Dong'er nodded, walked onto the podium, and began to introduce himself with a touch of flamboyance.

From the moment Wang Dong'er entered, Huo Yuhao's expression flickered uncertainly.

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

Currently, Tang San's divine consciousness still existed within Wang Dong'er's spiritual sea; he had originally planned to wait for Electrolux to awaken before finding a way to deal with that strand of consciousness.

But now, could it be that Tang San in the God Realm had begun to make new moves?

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

Seeing this, Wu Feng hurriedly interjected, "Young Mistress, it must be because he sees that Wang Dong's looks are no less than his own, so he..."

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

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

At this moment, in the God Realm Committee, Tang San, who had been smiling, suddenly sank his face.

"Why would Xiao Qi distance herself from that Child of Destiny? Could it be that the damned plane consciousness has interfered again?"

The God of Destruction, sitting opposite Tang San, watched Tang San's shifting expression with a thoughtful look.

Mu Jin looked at the articulate and elegant Wang Dong'er, feeling increasingly satisfied.

Every gesture of this youth exuded good breeding; that Zhou Yi truly had no eye for talent, letting her pick up a bargain for nothing.

As her thoughts drifted, she recalled that when she took Wang Dong away, the students in Zhou Yi's class seemed to have already been forced by her to go down and run laps around Shrek Plaza.

I wonder how many people that woman will expel this time?

Regardless, the more students she expelled, the more confident she would be in toppling her during the freshman assessment in three months.

If it weren't for that fellow Fan Yu protecting her, the academy would likely not have tolerated such an unruly madwoman for so long.

Thinking of this, Mu Jin couldn't help but grit her teeth in secret.

As Wang Dong'er finished her introduction, Mu Jin calmed her emotions, scanned the empty seats in the classroom, and pointed to the one beside Huo Yuhao.

"Alright, Wang Dong. You can sit next to Huo Yuhao for now."

She paused, then added, "I recall that you are currently living alone in your dormitory, Huo Yuhao? Hmm... that works out perfectly. After class today, Wang Dong, you should move out of your current dorm and stay with Huo Yuhao so you can look out for each other."

Upon hearing Mu Jin's words, the corners of Wang Dong'er's mouth twitched imperceptibly.

She had no desire to move into that dilapidated dormitory.

However, while she was unruly, she was not someone who didn't know what was good for her.

After all, this teacher, Mu Jin, had braved pressure to pull her away from Zhou Yi, so she had to give her this much face.

Thus, she nodded slightly to indicate she understood.

Anyway, me nodding in agreement ≠ I am actually going to live in the outer courtyard dormitory.

Huo Yuhao watched as Wang Dong'er sat gracefully beside him, his gaze calm.

This blockhead hadn't been beaten into submission by him this time, and she seemed even more arrogant than when they first met in his previous life.

Wang Dong'er also turned her head, blinking those beautiful powder-blue eyes as she curiously sized up the Huo Yuhao beside her.

She was also somewhat surprised that someone could be her equal in terms of appearance.

One had to know that the martial soul she awakened was the Radiant Goddess Butterfly, the pinnacle of beauty among beast martial souls.

She never expected that in this Shrek Academy, there would actually be someone who could rival her in looks.

Wang Dong'er thought somewhat "maliciously," surely this Huo Yuhao couldn't have awakened the Dark God Moth, could he?

At the thought of this, she nearly failed to hold back a chuckle and hurriedly tightened her expression.

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Mu Jin. Until the new student assessment three months from now and the subsequent re-sorting of classes, I will be your homeroom teacher."

Mu Jin's voice echoed clearly throughout the classroom.

"I know that you are all geniuses hand-picked from various nations across the continent. In your original homes, among your peers, you could absolutely be called 'elites'."

Hearing this, aside from a small number of students with steady temperaments who remained calm, a hint of pride appeared in the eyes of the vast majority of the class.

Many subconsciously straightened their backs, their faces filled with unconcealable self-satisfaction.

If they weren't exceptionally gifted, how could they have possibly entered Shrek Academy to study?
