I Like Using the Back Door

Chu Feng walked alongside Yan Shaozhe and pretended not to know who he was. "That teacher called you Dean. Are you some big shot at Shrek?"

"Hahaha, little fellow, you've got a good eye!" Yan Shaozhe immediately beamed. Then he proudly declared, "That's right. I'm Yan Shaozhe, Dean of Shrek Academy's Outer Court."

Yan Shaozhe looked at Chu Feng and put on a reserved air. "Little fellow, both your Martial Soul and Soul Ring are quite special. You're qualified to become my disciple. Would you consider it?"

Though Yan Shaozhe said that, in his mind, Chu Feng was already his disciple.

Chu Feng's talent was simply better than Ma Xiaotao's!

And Chu Feng didn't seem to have the same weakness as Ma Xiaotao. As long as he was trained properly, he was sure to soar to the heavens one day!

Just as Yan Shaozhe expected Chu Feng to bow down and accept him as his teacher, Chu Feng's next words left him dumbfounded...

"Thank you for the offer, Dean, but I don't need a teacher. I'm the only one who knows my path. No teacher is qualified to guide me." Chu Feng clasped his hands behind his back and spoke with the air of an old sage.

Yan Shaozhe: ?!!

"You little fellow, that's not how you boast! How old are you? Do you know the depth of Shrek's foundations? Do you know the glory of Shrek? There isn't a student in all of Douluo Continent that Shrek can't teach!"

"And if you're really so amazing, why join Shrek Academy?"

Yan Shaozhe was nearly laughing with exasperation. He had never encountered such an arrogant little fellow in his life.

You can boast all you like, but don't do it to my face! If you're so incredible, why don't you fly up to the heavens? Why come to Shrek Academy? Did you come here just to slap Shrek in the face?

As it turned out, Yan Shaozhe had guessed right.

Chu Feng remained perfectly calm as he said, "I didn't join Shrek to study. I was already invincible among those of my own rank. There's no genius on the continent who deserves my attention. I heard Shrek Academy gathers the most outstanding geniuses on the continent, so I wanted to come see for myself whether its students really are as freakish as the rumors say."

"You—you... I—I..."

Hearing Chu Feng's words, Yan Shaozhe's blood pressure shot up. He nearly passed out.

He was too arrogant!

He was too full of himself!

This wasn't finding a genius. It was bringing a ticking time bomb into the academy! If this kid enrolled, wouldn't he turn the whole academy upside down?

Though Chu Feng hadn't enrolled yet, Yan Shaozhe had already guessed what he was planning.

If this guy entered the academy, he'd surely become a regular at the Soul Fighting Arena and challenge every genius in the academy.

With Chu Feng's strength, even though he was only a Soul Grandmaster, his Soul Ring's power meant he could take on Soul Kings. He was going to beat every student in the entire Outer Court!

This guy doesn't care about Shrek at all. He even looks down on us... Should I toss him out of Shrek City before he enrolls? A bold idea surfaced in Yan Shaozhe's mind. If he really let this kid enroll today, he'd wreak havoc on this year's freshmen, and even the second-, third-, and fourth-year students.

"Dean, why are you spacing out?"

"Don't tell me you're afraid I'll give your Shrek students psychological scars, and you're thinking of tossing me out of Shrek before I enroll?"

Seeing Yan Shaozhe lost in thought, Chu Feng reached out and poked him on the shoulder, looking utterly astonished.

His gaze was full of disdain, and his expression seemed to say, You old geezer, can't you take a loss?

Yan Shaozhe came back to his senses and turned around, only to meet Chu Feng's suspicious, scornful gaze. His old face flushed.

"Ahem! Ahem!"

Yan Shaozhe cleared his throat, then glared at Chu Feng and feigned anger. "You little fellow, watch how you speak! I may be Shrek Academy's dean, but I'd never do something so shameless!"

"Who knows? I'm just worried Shrek won't be able to take it. What if I get expelled as soon as I enroll? Who would I go to for justice?" Chu Feng shrugged and said casually, though his suspicion was crystal clear.

Seeing Chu Feng act like that, Yan Shaozhe grew anxious on the spot.

Though he wasn't thrilled about the kid joining Shrek Academy, he would never deliberately make things difficult for him because of his intentions.

There was no way this kid was a spy from the Sun Moon Empire, either. Shrek was an academy for monsters. As long as you were talented enough and had a clean background, Shrek wouldn't turn you away.

Realizing Chu Feng had probably misunderstood, Yan Shaozhe hurriedly thumped his chest and promised, "Don't worry, kid. I guarantee you, as Dean of Spirit Hall Academy: as long as you don't break Shrek's rules or do anything to harm Shrek, nobody has the right to expel you!"

"Hehe, then thank you, Dean!"

At last, a brilliant smile appeared on Chu Feng's face. He'd said all that to Yan Shaozhe just to get him to say those words.

After all, he'd come to Shrek Academy to show off. Classes and training were completely unnecessary for him. He was mainly worried about being assigned to the class of an old hag like Zhou Yi, so he'd secured himself an extra layer of insurance.

Seeing Chu Feng's radiant smile, Yan Shaozhe felt a peculiar sensation. He had the feeling Chu Feng had set a trap for him, but he had no proof...

Still, seeing Chu Feng grin so brightly left Yan Shaozhe a little annoyed. So he pretended to kindly remind him, "Little fellow... I admit you're a genius, but you're still only twelve. Shrek is full of geniuses. If you're too arrogant and get beaten to tears, don't come crying to me."

Yan Shaozhe had already made up his mind. If Chu Feng really tried to cause trouble, he'd call Ma Xiaotao over and give the kid a lesson he'd never forget. Then he'd see if Chu Feng still dared look down on Shrek.

Chu Feng didn't say anything in response. He only smiled gently, looking to be in a very good mood.

With Yan Shaozhe's help, Chu Feng finished his enrollment in just half an hour. Since Yan Shaozhe had brought him in, even his tuition for the first year was waived.

Chu Feng couldn't help marveling at it. No wonder so many people liked using the back door. The efficiency, the treatment—it was simply unbeatable!

Yan Shaozhe, on the other hand, felt the opposite.

He was in a foul mood. After finishing Chu Feng's enrollment, he hurriedly left...

He'd thought he'd struck gold and found a genius today, but who could've expected this? Anyone would be miserable in his shoes.

Fortunately, he had a good temper. If some hotheaded old man had run into Chu Feng, he might've blacklisted him on the spot and even refused to let him enter Shrek City.

After watching Yan Shaozhe leave, Chu Feng received his school uniform, dormitory key, daily necessities, Freshman Badge, and, finally, his class assignment.

But when Chu Feng learned he'd been assigned to Freshman Class One, he was dumbfounded on the spot.
