Seeing the weapon rewarded by the system, the corners of Chu Feng's mouth nearly curled into a crooked grin.

However, he still explained, "Because he was assigned to Freshman Class One, Teacher Zhou Yi's class. Teacher Zhou Yi's teaching style is known to all. Old man, do you think with this kid's physique, how many lessons can he last before being expelled?"

"Freshman Class One, ah, this..." Upon hearing this, Mu En was rendered speechless on the spot.

The gaze he cast toward Huo Yuhao was filled with sympathy... This kid Huo Yuhao was truly unlucky. Not only was he beaten up for no reason, but he was also assigned to Zhou Yi's class.

Zhou Yi didn't care if you were from the Sugar Sect or the Salt Sect; if you couldn't pass her training, you would be expelled. Those students who had painstakingly managed to advance to the third year were often expelled by Zhou Yi simply for failing a training session or talking back, rendering years of hard work completely wasted.

As for the high proportion of students from Zhou Yi's class entering the Inner Court, those students were already the pride of heaven; their entry into the Inner Court was a foregone conclusion regardless.

If not for his connection to Fan Yu, Zhou Yi might have been impeached from her teaching position by all the teachers and students long ago.

Although Zhou Yi might restrain herself slightly now that she had been assigned as the head teacher of a freshman class, her training was still not something a kid like Huo Yuhao could endure.

"School starts in about two days, and I'm also in Freshman Class One. As long as I injure Huo Yuhao, he'll have an excuse even if he doesn't pass Teacher Zhou Yi's training. I'm really helping him~" Chu Feng continued to twist the knife.

"Although what you say makes sense, I always feel like you're doing this on purpose..." Mu En glanced at Chu Feng and spoke faintly.

"Old man, your judgment of people is off." Chu Feng smiled indifferently, not wanting to say more.

Mu En: ? Are you calling me blind?

Mu En took a deep look at Chu Feng, then immediately turned his gaze toward Huo Yuhao.

Seeing Huo Yuhao being so stubborn, Chu Feng deliberately walked over, leaned in close, and continued with a condescending air, "Still not admitting defeat? If I had a weapon in my hand, you might already be dead."

"Cough... cough, cough, cough..."

Huo Yuhao coughed incessantly, but his eyes remained filled with determination and fury—that "unyielding spirit" and "iron will" essential to a protagonist!

Huo Yuhao stared fixedly at Chu Feng, enunciating each word, "I! Huo Yuhao! Have not lost yet!!!!"

"I'll fight you to the death!! Ah--"

Just at the most critical moment, the protagonist's inner universe within Huo Yuhao finally erupted completely!!!

His Spirit Eye flashed suddenly, and he unleashed his strongest attack!

"Mental Shock!!"

An invisible Mental Shock entered Chu Feng's mind.

Then... it shattered instantly!

It was like an egg colliding with a Level 9 Soul Tool; this Mental Shock shattered without having any effect at all.

It was a joke. Although Chu Feng was a transformed soul beast and had lost his cultivation, his mental power had not diminished much. Furthermore, he practiced mental cultivation techniques far superior to this world, and the vastness of his Sea of Consciousness was comparable to a Title Douluo. How could it be shaken by a mere eruption of Huo Yuhao's inner universe?

And the moment Huo Yuhao's Mental Shock shattered, he suddenly clutched his head and let out an inhuman wail...

"Ahhhhhhh----"

"Thump, thump, thump..."

Huo Yuhao held his head, rolling on the ground continuously. His face flushed red instantly, and veins bulged on his forehead; he was clearly suffering from unbearable, excruciating pain.

This was a mental backlash.

Huo Yuhao's Mental Shock was connected to his own Sea of Consciousness. When facing an opponent with weaker mental power, his Mental Shock could at least stun the target for 2-3 seconds.

But if he faced an opponent with stronger mental power, this move easily caused a backlash against himself. The greater the gap in mental power between the two, the greater the backlash.

However, Huo Yuhao had the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in his Sea of Consciousness. Although he looked miserable, he would actually recover completely in a few days.

"Kid, what is going on here!"

Seeing Huo Yuhao collapse instantly, Mu En was completely caught off guard. He turned his head to look at Chu Feng, his tone full of questioning.

A faint golden glow flickered in his cloudy eyes. Although he didn't fully unleash his aura, he looked like a dragon awakening, as if he were about to swallow someone whole.

Because Huo Yuhao was a member of the Tang Sect and had been brought in by his own great-grandson, Bei Bei, if something happened under his watch, he feared Bei Bei would never forgive him for the rest of his life!

Although Mu En was a Level 99 Limit Douluo who had long since grown indifferent to life and found little that could interest him, seeing Huo Yuhao severely injured now, he could not help but feel a violent fluctuation in his state of mind.

"Old man, I didn't even touch him."

"He must have used a Mental Shock, but his mental power is simply too weak, far too weak. It couldn't cause me any harm at all; instead, he suffered a backlash from his own mental power, which is what caused this result."

Chu Feng raised his hands, looking innocent, yet he showed no trace of fear. After all, this was entirely because Huo Yuhao was courting death himself.

Huo Yuhao possessed both Mental Interference and Mental Shock. Mental Interference had a wide range but a weak effect, yet it was very safe.

Mental Shock, however, required a connection to his own Sea of Consciousness and naturally carried the risk of backlash. Since this guy was courting death, who could he blame?

Knowing he couldn't win but still pulling these flashy moves—did he really think he was the protagonist who could turn the tables 100% of the time?

"Are you sure?"

Upon hearing this, Mu En was also a bit dazed, and his emotions quickly stabilized.

Because Chu Feng indeed hadn't touched Huo Yuhao, and it did seem like Huo Yuhao had used a mental-type attack—even he had barely caught it.

But both were 12-year-old students; their mental power shouldn't differ that drastically. Even with a backlash, it should at most cause dizziness.

Looking at the current state of Huo Yuhao, why does he look like his parents just died?

This isn't right!

"What is going on!"

"Fighting is prohibited within the academy! What do you think you're doing!"

Just then, the teacher in charge of the dormitory finally sensed the disturbance and hurried over, glaring daggers at Chu Feng.

The newcomer was a middle-aged woman; although her strength was only at the Spirit King level, it was more than enough to manage the freshman dormitory.

Seeing Huo Yuhao writhing on the ground in pain while Chu Feng stood by, she naturally assumed that Chu Feng was the cause of Huo Yuhao's condition.

Preconceived notions took hold, and she immediately felt that Chu Feng was bullying the weak, causing her impression of him to plummet.

"The two were merely having a friendly spar. Take him to get treated; he will be fine after a few days of rest," Mu En, who had been sitting to the side, finally spoke up.

Upon seeing Mu En, the middle-aged woman's expression instantly turned respectful.

Although she didn't know who Mu En was, she knew he was a big shot within the academy. Since all the teachers treated this disabled old man with great reverence, she dared not act out of turn.

"Understood, I will take him for treatment immediately!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the middle-aged woman hurriedly scooped up Huo Yuhao and rushed toward the infirmary.

Once they left, Chu Feng walked over to the spot where Huo Yuhao had fallen, crouched down, and picked up the dormitory key—Dormitory 108.

"Tsk, how did I end up acting more and more like a villain? This isn't right..." Chu Feng gripped the key, feeling that things were becoming increasingly off.

"You fellow, you beat him into that state just to snatch a dormitory room??" Mu En, watching from the side, twitched his mouth, unable to fathom Chu Feng's train of thought.

Chu Feng didn't answer, instead countering with a question: "Old man, do you think the system at Shrek Academy is fair?"

Mu En was stunned once more. After a few seconds of silence, he nodded and said, "I have been at Shrek for many years, and I have seen everything the academy has done. It is considered fair."

"Considered fair, so that means privileges still exist, right?" Chu Feng continued to press.

Mu En: ...

Ignoring Mu En, Chu Feng continued to speak to himself: "Ordinary people work hard to cultivate, breaking their heads just to get into Shrek Academy, yet this Huo Yuhao, with only level 11 spirit power, managed to get in through the back door. Do you think that is fair to the nearly 1,000 freshmen who enter Shrek every year?"

Mu En: ...

"He used his privilege to make Shrek compromise, so what is the problem with me using my strength to take his room? I, Chu Feng, do not claim to be invincible under the heavens, but among those of the same age, I can crush any genius from any academy."

Mu En: ...

Chu Feng finally fixed his gaze on Mu En, grinned, and asked, "Old man, I hear that Shrek is full of monsters. Between him and me, who do you think is the real monster?"

Mu En: ...

Mu En was left speechless.

Although what Chu Feng said made perfect sense, this kid was just too asking for a beating.
