Yun Ming and Long Yeyue's Plan! Divide the Spirit Pagoda!

Bai Yuan stepped off the stage, several Shrek students greeted him warmly, their faces beaming with smiles.

"You're amazing, Brother Bai! I'm rooting for you!"

Someone immediately tried to sabotage him:

"Didn't you say before that you didn't think highly of him? You even said that people from the Spirit Pagoda coming to Shrek would only humiliate themselves?"

The man's smile froze on his face. He then scratched his head and chuckled dryly, "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I ever say such a thing? I've said it before: Brother Bai is exceptionally talented and will definitely be the future of our Soul Master World!"

Gu Yuena stood beside Bai Yuan, listening to these words.

These humans are so hypocritical.

I saw them a while ago, and they were all indignant, saying that Shrek should not be insulted.

They call them enemies, and say that exchange students should behave themselves with their tails between their legs.

Now that Bai Yuan has taken first place, these people seem to have had a switch flipped, and their attitudes have completely changed.

She turned her head to look at Bai Yuan, lowered her voice, and spoke with a hint of sarcasm:

"These people aren't like this at first glance, don't be fooled."

Bai Yuan smiled, his voice not loud but clearly reaching Gu Yuena's ears:

"Shrek has always admired the strong, so this attitude is normal."

"Besides, who would develop feelings for Shrek?"

"Not purely brainwashed?"

Bai Yuan's gaze swept over the still-smiling faces without lingering or responding to the enthusiastic compliments.

Shrek doesn't admire him; he admires the title of "Number One on the Youth Genius Ranking."

He is the one standing here today, and they are supporting him.

If it's someone else tomorrow, they'll still be praising that person.

This kind of worship is as cheap as a flyer on the street; anyone can take it, and anyone can throw it away.

He had no feelings for Shrek, nor for the Spirit Pagoda.

He doesn't need the approval of any power, nor does he need anyone's adulation.

He just needs to become stronger, so strong that no one can ignore his presence.

Gu Yuena withdrew her gaze and looked at Bai Yuan's profile.

For him, taking the top spot on the Genius Ranking is merely the first step on the road to greater heights.

The commotion at Spirit Ice Plaza behind us continued.

Discussions surrounding this battle, and astonishment at the change of the top spot on the Genius Ranking.

Speculation abounds regarding whether Bai Yuan will become the strongest exchange student in Shrek Academy's history.

The sounds came in like a tide, and then receded like a tide.

These people aren't stupid.

Most of them are brainwashed idiots from Shrek. They believe whatever the academy says, Shrek's glory is above all else, and everyone in the Spirit Pagoda is an enemy.

But there are many others, the younger generation from various powerful forces, who come to Shrek not just to cultivate, but also to build connections.

A top- Youth Genius Ranking genius, a prodigy who possesses four Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings at a young age.

Such a person is destined to become a pivotal figure on the mainland in the future.

If you don't curry favor with him now, you won't even have the chance when he grows up.

"It's not a bad thing to curry favor with this genius."

Someone in the crowd said something.

The voice wasn't loud, but it elicited a chorus of agreement.

"Yeah, yeah, Brother Bai is definitely going to be a big shot in the future!"

"Being able to talk to Brother Bai now is something I can brag about for the rest of my life!"

Gu Yuena listened to these words, a mocking smile curled at the corner of her lips.

Human nature changes so quickly.

Bai Yuan didn't turn around, but glanced at Gu Yuena.

"Let's go, junior sister."

Gu Yuena looked at him and nodded.

Two figures walked out of Spirit Ice Plaza side by side.

Behind them, the clamor in Spirit Ice Plaza continued, but those sounds were no longer relevant to them.

Shrek.

Ya Li stood by the window.

She turned her head to look at the man beside her, a teasing smile playing on her lips.

"Brother Ming, aren't you going to do something about this? The number one spot on the Shrek rankings has fallen off."

Yun Ming's gaze pierced through the layers of branches and leaves, landing on that figure's back.

"It's alright, it's good for them to suffer a bit."

"After all, there are so many geniuses on the mainland; only by knowing the gap can one grow."

Ya Li looked at his nonchalant demeanor, a subtle glint flashing in her purple eyes.

"Oh my, Brother Ming, you're really taking this kid too seriously, aren't you?"

She deliberately dragged out the last syllable, her tone carrying a hint of inexplicable bitterness.

Yun Ming looked at her jealous expression with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

"There's nothing I can do. Shrek Academy has many students now, but I haven't found a suitable successor to the position of the Sea God Pavilion Master."

"Shrek Academy has many students, but not a single one can carry this banner."

Ya Li fell silent.

Although she didn't want to admit it, what Yun Ming said was true.

Among this generation of Shrek Academy students, there are quite a few with outstanding talents, but none of them are capable of inheriting the position of the Sea God Pavilion.

The younger generation has not yet shown the potential to impress her.

The current Shrek Academy is entirely supported by the older generation, such as Yun Ming and Long Yeyue.

When they get old and retire.

Can this ancient academy still maintain its reputation as the best in the continent?

No one dared to say it.

"Therefore, trying to win him over is a very good approach."

Yun Ming's voice echoed in the quiet room.

"Think about it, he can go back to the Spirit Pagoda later. Then the Spirit Pagoda will also establish a relationship with us. Wouldn't that be a huge good thing for Shrek?"

Ya Li hesitated.

"But doesn't the Spirit Pagoda have a bad relationship with Sister Yue?"

Everyone knows that after Sister Yue slapped the Spirit Pagoda Master, our relationship with the Spirit Pagoda has been strained ever since.

This..."

Yun Ming said calmly, "That's Qiangu Family, the Leng Family is different."

Besides, if he really ascends to the top of the Spirit Pagoda, will the Qiangu Family still be able to exist?

His tone was as calm as stating a fact, but Ya Li sensed a chill in it.

"Of course, behind all this lies my intention, and also Sister Yue's intention."

Yun Ming paused, then turned his head to look at the golden ancient tree outside the window.

Although he is the Sea God Pavilion of the Shrek Academy, he cannot decide everything at Shrek.

Above him was the Light and Light and Darkness Douluo, Long Yeyue.

The widow of the previous Sea God Pavilion, who is over two hundred years old.

Yun Ming would find it difficult to accomplish what Long Yeyue strongly opposed.

This time, Long Yeyue also intended to sow discord within the Spirit Pagoda.

Ya Li sighed softly.

"Sigh, this world... But if you're going to scheme against this kid, will he ever feel a sense of belonging to Shrek?"

Yun Ming smiled.

There was no mockery or contempt in that smile, only a clear-headedness and certainty born of experience.

"Interest determines everything. When he saw how much Shrek could help him, how could he not be tempted?"

A slight smile played at the corners of his lips.

"Heh, I can still easily manipulate a child."

Looking at his confident expression, Ya Li opened her mouth as if to say something, but then swallowed her words.

Shrek needs a successor, allies, and the ability to stand strong in this ever-changing era.

Bai Yuan was the person Yun Ming had chosen.

She only hoped that when that day truly came, that boy wouldn't become Shrek's enemy.

Let's hope so.

After all, Shrek's current situation is really not good!

Many people are waiting for them to fall.
