After hearing this, Yu Xiaogang was utterly dumbfounded.
The corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and his originally righteous bearing instantly weakened considerably.
He knew Dai Mubai's character all too well. Freezing up at the sight of a pretty girl was indeed something Dai Mubai would do.
And since Dai Mubai had struck first, Shrek was completely in the wrong.
But Yu Xiaogang had always been fiercely protective of his own.
He drew a deep breath, forcibly steadied himself, and kept his face stern.
"Setting all that aside!"
"Even if Mubai's words were somewhat offensive and disrespectful."
"His crime still does not warrant this!"
"You of Blue Silver Academy are supposed to educate people. Even if you wished to punish him, you should not have resorted to such vicious means of ruining a person's life!"
"If word of this gets out, are you not afraid of being mocked by Spirit Masters across the world?"
Upon hearing this absurdly twisted logic, Ye Lingling immediately let out a cold laugh.
She stepped forward, her frosty gaze boring directly into Yu Xiaogang.
"Grandmaster, it seems you still have not understood the situation."
"I told you during the tour that Blue Silver Academy has its own rules."
"For those who provoke trouble, crippling their cultivation while sparing their lives is entirely within the academy's regulations."
Ye Lingling pointed at Dai Mubai on the ground.
"He attacked and injured someone first. He was inferior in skill and ended up like this. He brought it entirely upon himself."
"The fact that he is still alive and shouting here means you should be thanking Bing'er for her kindness."
"If anyone else had struck, he would already be a corpse."
This merciless retort was like a resounding slap across Yu Xiaogang's face.
Yu Xiaogang trembled with rage, pointing at Ye Lingling for a long while without managing to say a word.
Dai Mubai was so furious that he vomited blood repeatedly, his heart filled with the utmost grievance.
He had already been turned into a eunuch, yet he was supposed to thank her for being kind?
Just as the standoff reached an impasse.
An elegant, composed figure slowly emerged from the depths of the courtyard.
Bi Ji wore a long green dress. Her temperament was gentle, yet it carried the supreme pressure unique to a ferocious beast.
The moment she appeared, the tense atmosphere in the courtyard was instantly suppressed.
"What happened?"
Bi Ji's voice was soft as her gaze swept across everyone present.
Ye Lingling immediately went forward and concisely reported the entire sequence of events.
After hearing the report, an extremely dangerous glint of coldness flashed through Bi Ji's gentle eyes.
She turned to Yu Xiaogang, and the smile on her face vanished completely.
"I understand what happened."
"Blue Silver Academy does not welcome people of poor character."
"Since he has already received his lesson, you people from Shrek may leave now."
She directly ordered them out!
Yu Xiaogang's face was full of unwillingness.
The core reason he had shamelessly come to Blue Silver Academy this time was for a spot in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.
Now, not only had he failed to obtain a spot, Dai Mubai had also been crippled.
If they left in such a disgraceful state, how could Shrek Academy ever maintain a foothold in the Spirit Master world?
Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth, a calculating glimmer flashing in his eyes.
"You may tell us to leave."
"But Mubai suffered such severe injuries here at Shrek's hands. This cannot simply be forgotten."
"As long as Blue Silver Academy gives us a Spirit Master Tournament spot as compensation and hands it to Shrek."
"Then Shrek can be magnanimous today and refrain from pursuing your wrongdoing."
Yu Xiaogang still maintained that lofty, superior posture of a negotiator.
It was as if his willingness to compromise had already granted Blue Silver Academy an enormous favor.
Upon hearing this utterly shameless demand.
Not only did Bi Ji not grow angry, she lightly shook her head. The way she looked at Yu Xiaogang was like she was looking at an irredeemable fool.
"You seem to have made a very important mistake."
Bi Ji's tone was exceedingly calm, but every word pierced the heart.
"Blue Silver Academy has never needed any recognition whatsoever from Shrek."
"Nor do we care about your so-called pursuit of responsibility."
"As for a Spirit Master Tournament spot, we never said we would give one to you as charity."
Bi Ji raised her hand and pointed toward the academy gates.
Her red lips parted, uttering one exceptionally clear word.
"Now."
"Get out."
There was no room for negotiation. It was utterly domineering.
Yu Xiaogang froze where he stood as though he had been struck by lightning.
Dai Mubai was even more stunned, forgetting to howl from the agony coursing through his body.
Get out?
They had actually told him, the Grandmaster, to get out?
"Y-you... You have gone too far!"
Yu Xiaogang flew into a rage. His face flushed crimson, and the veins on his forehead bulged one by one.
He stared fixedly at Bi Ji and Ye Lingling, his eyes filled with thick hatred.
"Fine! Fine Blue Silver Academy!"
"You will certainly pay the price for your arrogance today!"
"Let's go!"
Yu Xiaogang knew he could gain no advantage here. He could only forcibly disperse the ice trapping Dai Mubai, drag the half-dead Dai Mubai along, and flee miserably toward the gates.
On the dirt road outside Heaven Dou City.
The setting sun stretched their shadows long behind them.
Dai Mubai lay across Yu Xiaogang's back, and the waves of weakness from his lower abdomen constantly reminded him of that cruel truth.
The seeds of hatred wildly took root and sprouted within his heart.
"I hate this..."
Dai Mubai clenched his teeth so hard they cracked, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
He had first been thrown out of Heaven Dou Royal Academy like a dog, and now he had suffered such unbearable humiliation at Blue Silver Academy.
He placed all his rage, humiliation, and hatred upon Blue Silver Academy.
One day, he would definitely capture that woman named Shui Bing'er.
He would use the cruelest and most vile methods in the world to torment her day and night, making her beg for death while being denied it!
Yu Xiaogang, walking ahead, wore an equally twisted expression.
The theories he had been so proud of had been dismissed as garbage, his demand for a tournament spot had been ruthlessly rejected, and in the end, he had even been thrown out.
For someone as obsessed with saving face as him, such humiliation was utterly unbearable.
"Blue Silver Academy..."
Yu Xiaogang's nails dug deeply into his palms, drawing blood.
"One day, I will pay any price necessary to utterly destroy this academy!"
"I will make every one of you kneel before me and admit your mistakes!"
Meanwhile.
Deep within Blue Silver Academy, inside a secret realm concealed beneath layers of formations.
This place was like an entirely different vast world.
The sky was an exceptionally pure glazed blue, while the breeze carried life energy so dense it seemed almost liquid.
Across this expansive land that Xu Qing had named the "Blue Silver Kingdom."
Peerless immortal herbs capable of causing bloody turmoil in the outside world could be seen everywhere.
Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Infernal Delicate Apricot... all kinds of rare plants grew wantonly here like weeds.
Terrifying vitality surged through the air, even condensing into drops of crystal-clear life spirit dew in midair.
