You're All Not Enough! Come at Me Together!

Shen Yi's gaze swept over the young faces that had been set ablaze, and he nodded in satisfaction.

Yes, it works well.

Otherwise, they'd hire her every time they went out to brainwash people—no, to do propaganda!

Good basic skills!

Shrek's glorious history will always be the best source of inspiration for its students.

Her gaze swept across several rows of seats and landed on Gu Yuena.

The silver-haired girl was staring blankly out the window, sunlight shining on her profile, making her look like a still sculpture.

Shen Yi frowned slightly and looked at Bai Yuan again.

The boy had his head down, his fingers fidgeting under the desk, clearly not listening to her lecture.

Shen Yi's brows furrowed even more, he cleared his throat, and raised his voice a few decibels.

"Ahem! Exchange students, please pay attention in class too!"

His tone carried a hint of warning and displeasure.

The classroom was quiet for a moment, then everyone turned around at once.

Gu Yuena remained gazing out the window, her long silver hair cascading down her shoulders, motionless, as if she hadn't heard Shen Yi's words at all.

Bai Yuan kept his head down, his fingers busy doing something under the desk, without even lifting his eyelids.

We're all too busy; everyone's got their own things to do.

One of the students lowered his voice and gestured towards Yu Yuanheng with his lip.

His tone carried a hint of excitement, as if he were enjoying watching a good show.

"Why don't you go and talk to them?"

Yu Yuanheng leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, staring blankly at the student who had spoken. His lips parted slightly, and he squeezed out a single word through his teeth.

"No."

He's not stupid. Going to provoke Bai Yuan at a time like this would only make him look bad, wouldn't it?

Seeing Yu Yuanheng's attitude, the others exchanged glances and wisely kept quiet.

Shen Yi stood on the podium, looking at the Shrek students below who were so intimidated by Bai Yuan that they didn't dare to breathe.

A complex emotion welled up inside me, one that I couldn't quite explain.

This?

When did Shrek Academy students become like this?

She took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, and turned away.

By the window, Bai Yuan tapped his fingers lightly twice under the desk, a slight smile curving his lips.

Shrek's brainwashing lessons are best ignored.

He glanced at Gu Yuena, but the silver-haired girl was still looking out the window.

Bai Yuan withdrew his gaze.

Shen Yi turned around.

The midday sun outside the window was already quite dazzling, and she glanced at the soul-guided clock on the wall.

"There are two more hours until the morning classes are over, then we can leave."

"Now, the last lesson."

"Pop quiz."

The classroom erupted in chaos.

"What? A pop quiz? We don't usually do these!"

Someone lowered their voice, their tone full of surprise.

The person next to him frowned, his gaze drifting to the two figures by the window, and added a pointed remark.

"This time... is the teacher deliberately targeting exchange students?"

This speculation spread like a pebble thrown into a lake, creating ripples in the crowd.

Those initially curious glances gradually turned into expressions of schadenfreude.

"Alright, let's show them some respect! Otherwise, they're being so disrespectful to Shrek!"

Someone else spoke softly, but their eyes were glancing in Bai Yuan's direction, and they couldn't suppress the smile on their lips.

Hmph, you tried to act tough, now you've finally fallen for it.

Who wants to go first?

Shen Yi's gaze swept around the classroom.

"Those who are finished can leave first."

The murmurs rose and fell, but no one stood up.

Gu Yuena turned her head, her long silver hair slipping down her shoulder, and whispered in Bai Yuan's ear.

"Why don't we go ahead and do it? Didn't you hear me? The sooner we finish, the sooner we can rest."

Bai Yuan turned his head to look at her, a slight smile playing on his lips.

This girl is even more anxious than he is.

Just as everyone was still arguing, "You go first" and "No, no, no, you go first," Gu Yuena suddenly grabbed Bai Yuan's hand.

The silver-haired girl stood up from her seat, still holding Bai Yuan's fingers in her right hand.

Her purple eyes stared calmly at Shen Yi, her voice not loud, but clearly heard by everyone present.

"Let's go first."

Bai Yuan was pulled to his feet by her, and looked down at Gu Yuena's hand that was tightly holding his.

They couldn't break free.

The classroom fell silent for a moment.

Gu Yuena secretly glanced at him!

Great job!

The first step of the plan!

Great success!! He didn't refuse when I held his hand!

All eyes were on the two figures standing side by side.

Bai Yuan wore his signature smile, with Gu Yuena standing beside him.

Her long silver hair cascaded down her shoulders, and her purple eyes were as calm as a deep pool of water.

The two were an arm's length apart, neither too close nor too far.

Yet, for some reason, there was an aura between them that made it impossible for outsiders to intrude.

Shen Yi's gaze lingered for a moment on Gu Yuena's hand holding Bai Yuan's, his brows furrowing slightly before relaxing.

She reached out and pointed to the testing area next to the podium.

"Come."

Gu Yuena released Bai Yuan's hand and stepped out.

Bai Yuan followed behind her, and the two walked side by side to the podium. Gu Yuena glanced at Bai Yuan, and Bai Yuan nodded slightly.

The air in the classroom seemed to freeze.

His gaze swept over the faces that were either bowing their heads or looking away, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"A practical test. Who wants to go first?"

His voice wasn't loud, but those few words, falling into the classroom, were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake.

There was complete silence below.

Someone turned their head to look out the window.

Some people stared intently at the tabletop, as if a flower had suddenly sprouted from it.

Those few people from the Heavenly Sea Grand Competition pretended to be mute.

Yu Yuanheng leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, staring blankly at the ceiling, as if the cracks on it were more attractive than Bai Yuan.

Ye Xinglan kept her head down, her fingers lightly stroking the pages of the book, not absorbing a single word.

Shen Yi's face darkened.

She stood on the podium, her gaze sweeping over the students who were pretending to be deaf and dumb. Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried an barely suppressed anger.

"Does Shrek have no one left? Who dares to accept the challenge?"

No one answered. The students who had been making a fuss just moments before were now huddled in their seats, wishing they could bury their heads in their desks.

Bai Yuan looked at the Shrek students huddled together, the corners of his mouth curving into a deeper smile. He then glanced at Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena stood expressionless beside him, showing no interest in any of it.

"How about this?"

"Stop with two-on-two."

"Come at me all at once, no matter how many of you there are."

The classroom was silent for a moment, then erupted into chaos.

"That's too arrogant!" One student exclaimed, his face flushed red, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

Shen Yi stood on the podium, looking at the students below who were filled with unease by Bai Yuan's words, and took a deep breath.

Her gaze fell on Bai Yuan, lingering for a moment on the curve of his lips. She knew how strong this child was; but his arrogance was even more outrageous than she had expected.

However, this is Shrek's territory, and she can't let an exchange student act so arrogantly here.

Shen Yi stepped down from the podium and stood opposite Bai Yuan, his gaze sweeping over the students still sitting in their seats.

"You heard that? Then come at me all at once!"

"Don't let exchange students look down on Shrek."

The classroom was quiet for a moment, then someone stood up from their seat.

One, two, three... more and more people stood up.

Some people wore expressions of anger, some had fighting spirit burning in their eyes, and some gritted their teeth as if they were heading to the execution ground.

Yu Yuanheng sat in his seat.

Looking at the classmates who had stood up, I took a deep breath and stood up from my seat.

Ye Xinglan looked up at Bai Yuan, put down the book in her hand, and stood up as well.

One by one, all the Shrek students in the classroom stood up.

More than thirty people, more than thirty pairs of eyes, all fell on Bai Yuan.

Bai Yuan looked at the figures who had stood up, a slight smile playing on his lips.

He glanced at Gu Yuena was also looking at him, her purple eyes reflecting his smiling face.

The two withdrew their gaze and simultaneously looked at the thirty-odd Shrek students.

Bai Yuan took a step forward.

More than thirty people took a step back at the same time.

Shen Yi stood to the side, watching this scene, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

The air in the classroom was incredibly tense at that moment.

Bai Yuan stood by the podium, smiling as he looked at the thirty-odd Shrek students who were standing at attention.

Gu Yuena stood beside him, her purple eyes as calm as if she were looking at a flock of lambs to the slaughter.

Shen Yi took a deep breath, walked to the center of the classroom, and glanced at both sides.

"A free-for-all, with no rules."

"Until you fall or admit defeat."

"Start."
