Huo Yuhao laughed as he ran, looking like a child who had just found a piece of candy.

"Hehe... Hahaha..."

The laughter echoed across the morning plaza, sounding exceptionally infectious.

Other students cast sidelong glances, their eyes filled with the same sentiment:

Is this guy really mentally sound?

Huo Yuhao didn't care what others thought.

As he ran, he calculated happily in his heart:

Two top-tier rare spirit bones!!!

One left leg bone and one right leg bone!

They were things others dreamed of!

If he absorbed them now, wouldn't he be able to run even faster?

His eyes lit up, and he immediately shouted to the system in his mind:

"Jiahao System, I want to absorb the two spirit bones!"

[Top-tier rare spirit bones, host beginning absorption!]

Before the words had even faded, two chicken-claw-shaped golden leg bones appeared out of thin air, streaking across the sky like two trails of light, flying straight into Huo Yuhao's legs, one on the left and one on the right.

Huo Yuhao's entire body shuddered as his legs were instantly injected with two streams of scorching heat.

Downstairs from the teaching building.

Zhou Yi stood with her hands behind her back, her gaze sharp as she stared at the students running on the plaza.

Suddenly, she frowned.

That Huo Yuhao...

She noticed a faint, peculiar aura fluctuating around Huo Yuhao's legs.

It wasn't how ordinary spirit power should feel.

Zhou Yi narrowed her eyes.

Could it be... spirit bones?

And more than one?

He had two spirit bones at such a young age?

She calculated quickly in her mind: someone who could possess spirit bones at this age likely had the backing of a major power.

Regardless of the possibility, it all pointed to one thing:

This kid was not simple.

Zhou Yi had originally planned to use his failure to complete the two hundred laps as an excuse to expel this troublemaker.

But now, she smiled.

Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre.

My judgment was correct after all.

Huo Yuhao is a little monster.

This year's promotion rate depends on you!

I'll just expel everyone else!

On the plaza.

Huo Yuhao grew more excited the more he ran.

The heat from the two spirit bones surged back and forth in his legs.

Should he try out the spirit skill?

A thought stirred in his heart as he tried to comprehend his spirit bone skill:

A strange sensation emanated from his legs.

The skill name surfaced in his mind:

[Chicken You Are Too Beautiful]

Huo Yuhao: "???"

What the hell?

Chicken You Are Too Beautiful?

What kind of ridiculous spirit skill name is that!

He sensed the information in his mind: it was a combination of an augmentation-type and control-type spirit skill.

Since that's the case, I might as well give it a try!

I'll buff myself to finish these two hundred laps!

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and shouted in a low voice:

"Chicken Claw Leg Bone Spirit Bone skill, Chicken You Are Too Beautiful!"

The spirit skill was unleashed.

A bizarre power instantly erupted from the spirit bones in his legs, causing his body to dance uncontrollably.

Faintly, background music echoed through the air:

"You walking toward me make me restless~"

Huo Yuhao subconsciously performed a few between-the-legs dribbling motions.

"Chicken You Are Too Beautiful~"

"Chicken You Are Too Beautiful~"

He began to perform a hypnotic Iron Mountain Lean, swaying left and right with unbelievable smoothness.

All the students were stunned.

They stared at Huo Yuhao, dumbfounded, their mouths hanging open wide enough to fit an egg.

Huo Yuhao observed his surroundings while dancing, his eyes lighting up.

It really is a crowd-control spirit skill!

It's so powerful!

So many people have been controlled!

On the playground, a hundred people were collectively "hard-controlled" in place, staring blankly as Huo Yuhao danced to his heart's content in the center of the square.

As for running laps, it was naturally a breeze for Wang Dong'er.

Although she was usually a bit lazy, her physical fitness was genuinely excellent; she ran like a light butterfly, her breathing barely disrupted.

Lin Ye had originally worried that he might not be able to finish.

But after his martial soul evolved into a lotus, his physical functions had improved across the board, and he felt incredibly light.

Trailing at the very back were over twenty students.

Among them was Huo Yuhao.

He had started off running quite fiercely, excited as if he'd been injected with adrenaline, zooming forward.

But after twenty-some laps, his stamina began to plummet off a cliff.

He had also wasted quite a bit of time and energy dancing in the middle of it all.

Among those trailing behind with him, several had been delayed by his "hard-control" spirit skill.

They had watched him dance "Chicken You Are Too Beautiful" for ages, and by the time they snapped out of it, they had already been lapped several times by the main group.

As this group ran, they cursed in their hearts: Huo Yuhao, how are you going to pay us back for this!

Time flew by.

The main group finished their lap requirements one after another, collapsing near the finish line and gasping for air.

As for those twenty-some students, none of them had finished.

The boys who had been punished with one hundred and fifty laps looked ashen, still a long way from their goal.

As for Huo Yuhao...

Out of two hundred laps, he had only run ninety-something.

The moment time was up, Huo Yuhao's legs went soft, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

He lay splayed out, drenched in sweat, still gasping for air.

He looked as disheveled as a dog just pulled out of a mud pit.

Huo Yuhao lay on the ground, panting heavily.

What do I do... I didn't even finish a hundred laps...

However, I, Huo Yuhao, am the Child of Destiny!

I absolutely won't be expelled!

He struggled to stand up, his legs still trembling, but he held his back straight.

Time was up.

Zhou Yi turned to the students with an expressionless face and spoke indifferently:

"Those whose names I call, step forward. Cheng Cheng, Qiu Jianrao, Tang Dao, Shangguan Chentian, Lin Zeyu, Zhuge Yun, Tai Long, Tang Ling, Yun Xiaopiao..."

The called students stepped out one by one, their faces still wearing expressions of bewilderment.

Zhou Yi's tone was calm:

"You may all return to pack your luggage and leave the academy. From this moment on, you are no longer students of Shrek Academy."

"Ah?!"

The students, still exhausted from just finishing their run, were instantly shocked, and the rest of the class erupted into an uproar.

"Teacher, why?"

A tall youth named Tai Long stepped forward, his face full of fury.

He was one of the first to complete the laps and believed his performance had been perfect.

Zhou Yi swept a cold glance at him.

"Shrek Academy has no need for students who cut corners. To possess strength without an upright mindset—once trained into talent, you would only bring disaster to whichever nation you serve."

"Tai Long, tell me yourself, did you run the full one hundred laps just now?"

Tai Long stiffened his neck: "Of course I ran enough!"

Zhou Yi smiled.

That smile was even more chilling than not smiling at all.

"Ran enough? If I recall correctly, when the running first started, I hadn't even arrived at the plaza yet. You walked two laps at a leisurely pace, and only started to keep up once the leaders had reached their fifth lap."

"You ran ninety-seven laps, not one hundred."

Tai Long's face flushed bright red.

He never imagined that Zhou Yi, who hadn't even appeared on the field at the start, could describe his slacking off as clearly as if she had seen it with her own eyes.

"Bu-but... even if I ran a few laps short, you can't just expel me for that!"

Zhou Yi snorted with disdain: "I already stated the reason. You are not worthy of being called a student of Shrek Academy. Pack your things and get out."

Tai Long was completely dumbfounded.

With his strength, running one hundred laps was no problem at all, and his cultivation was among the best in the class.

Yet, he was eliminated just like that?

Zhou Yi looked toward the other students, her tone remaining indifferent.

"I have a bad temper, but I always keep my word."

"The nine of you all slacked off during the run and failed to complete the hundred laps."

Her gaze swept toward another group.

"You few, you didn't complete the one hundred and fifty laps."

Finally, she looked at the group surrounding Huo Yuhao.

"And you few, you didn't even complete the one hundred laps."

"If you are dissatisfied, you may go to the Academic Affairs Office to report me."

"But for now, you may leave."

Those students who had been delayed by Huo Yuhao's "Chicken You Are Too Beautiful" were all red-eyed.

Killing intent permeated the air.

Huo Yuhao, what are you going to use to pay us back for this?!
