For Zhao Wuji, today was absolutely the most satisfying day since he joined Shrek Academy.
After being a teacher for so many years, he could finally hold his head high.
For the first time, several Little Monsters had joined the academy.
Five. There were actually five!
How many students had Shrek Academy taken in over all these years?
And this year, it had enrolled five Little Monsters!
It had never felt this good before.
The most terrifying of them all was Lin Ye, a super-monster.
He was only twelve years old, yet already a Level 65 Soul Emperor.
His Martial Soul was exceptionally powerful, his combat instincts outstanding, and his Soul Ring Configuration utterly heaven-defying.
His First Soul Ring was already tens of thousands of years old.
He even had two hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings.
Though Zhao Wuji had no idea how he had gotten them,
he knew this was the most terrifying Soul Ring Configuration in the history of the Soul Master World.
The greatest of all time!
With a super-monster like him joining Shrek Academy, Zhao Wuji would have reason to be proud when Lin Ye made a name for himself in the Soul Master World.
Then there was Xiao Wu.
Though her Martial Soul was a Soft Bone Rabbit, she had Innate Full Soul Power and was already Level 42.
Her Soul Ring Configuration couldn't compare to Lin Ye's, but compared with everyone else's, it was truly heaven-defying.
With the two of them joining the academy, even Zhao Wuji's steps felt lighter.
As for Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Tang San,
well, they had decent talent too.
They were all Little Monster-level.
But compared to those two, they really fell short.
He even considered talking to Flender about dividing the Little Monsters into different ranks.
Little Monster, Super-Monster, and Peerless Monster.
The more he thought about it, the more necessary it seemed!
Li Yusong was handling admissions, so Zhao Wuji figured he'd take a stroll around.
As he wandered along, he spotted Lin Ye and the others, along with Ma Hongjun.
They've already met their classmates? They must be having a friendly chat.
Just as Zhao Wuji was about to go over and greet them, he heard Ma Hongjun's anguished cries.
He froze, completely dumbfounded.
It took him a good while to react.
Had he heard wrong?
Ma Hongjun said Lin Ye and the others were bullying him?
His temper flared at once.
That little brat Ma Hongjun really was shameless!
If Lin Ye were truly bullying him, would he even have a chance to speak?
Did he really think someone with Lin Ye's cultivation would bother bullying him?
Zhao Wuji walked over with a dark expression.
When Ma Hongjun saw him approaching, the oppressive aura around him thrilled him.
Zhao Wuji was a Soul Saint above Level 70!
As long as Zhao Wuji stepped in, he'd surely knock every one of them flat.
Then, out of the goodness of his heart, Ma Hongjun would let a few of the girls keep him company for a while. He might even deign to forgive them!
"Teacher Zhao, they—they're bullying me!"
Ma Hongjun desperately squeezed out a few tears.
Xiao Wu and the others were stunned.
Was he really twisting the truth like that?
He'd been the one leering at them first.
They'd only taught him a little lesson, and now he was slandering them?
They had to beat him up!
[This little fatty's making a false complaint, huh?]
[Fine. I'll remember you.]
[Tomorrow I'll find a hundred fat women to play you to death!]
The three girls heard his thoughts and looked at his expressionless face. They were completely floored.
As for those fat women, Ma Hongjun would probably be the one played to death.
"What happened?"
Zhao Wuji walked over and stopped, looking at both sides. He had more or less figured it out.
That deadbeat fatty must have been pestering the girls, so they'd taught him a lesson.
How could Zhao Wuji not understand Ma Hongjun's little schemes?
Maybe it was the Evil Fire affecting him, but he thought about that sort of thing all day long.
Whenever he saw a pretty girl, he couldn't take another step.
He'd practically had his way with all the girls in the village.
Now, most of them went out of their way to avoid him.
Even the young wives were scared of him!
Even the grandmothers would suddenly walk briskly and hurry to shut their doors.
They were afraid the little fatty would get desperate and prey on anyone.
Thinking back to when his Evil Fire had flared up before, he'd caused quite a stir in the village.
Luckily, Flender had managed to suppress the matter.
Otherwise, the academy wouldn't have been able to stay open.
Ma Hongjun thought Zhao Wuji had come to back him up and immediately complained, "Teacher, these people came out of nowhere and bullied me."
"I was just chatting with Cuihua, and they came up and started cursing me!"
"They even insulted Shrek Academy, calling it a Chicken College!"
"Hmm?"
Zhao Wuji's eyebrows twitched sharply at those words.
After hearing only a few sentences, he already understood what had happened.
Cursing at people?
Lin Ye definitely wouldn't. He was such an upright boy!
A paragon of righteousness!
And the girls?
How could such adorable, pretty girls have started cursing first?
Ma Hongjun must have done something to them.
As for calling Shrek a Chicken College?
That was ridiculous!
They were Shrek students now. Why would they insult their own academy?
Putting it all together, the little fatty was framing them!
Ma Hongjun's blatant distortion of the truth had the three girls fuming.
When had they ever said anything like that?
He really was a filthy person. Even the way he spoke was disgusting!
[Chicken College? Shrek really is a Chicken College. It's not even a Primary Soul Master Academy.]
[The deadbeat fatty knows his place, at least. Though this academy really is impressive, it can hold its own against quite a few advanced Soul Master academies. It's just a little short on resources.]
[The little fatty's twisting the truth, so let's fight fire with fire! Beat magic with magic!]
Lin Ye pondered how to deal with Ma Hongjun.
He also wondered how Zhao Wuji would react.
Was he going to stick up for Ma Hongjun?
Man, that face of his was dark~
Ning Rongrong's eyes shifted, and her voice turned tearful.
"Teacher Zhao!"
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Zhao Wuji paused and turned to look. Ning Rongrong's tears were already streaming down like pearls from a broken string.
Those tears really did come at the drop of a hat!
"Teacher Zhao, this lecher bullied us."
"He—he said he wanted to take us to the dormitory and examine our bodies."
"He even wanted me to take off my clothes so he could examine me."
"He also said he was a senior student at Shrek, and that new students who didn't obey him would regret it."
Everyone: "..."
Zhao Wuji was speechless.
It was entirely possible that Ma Hongjun had said something about examining their bodies.
But new students who didn't obey him would regret it?
He absolutely wouldn't dare say something like that.
Ma Hongjun was completely dumbfounded.
Were girls really that good at acting?
He'd desperately squeezed out two tears, but hers came instantly—and so naturally.
Especially that wronged, frightened little expression. It was simply perfect.
Lin Ye almost wanted to give Ning Rongrong a thumbs-up.
Fighting magic with magic. That was brilliant!
He'd never imagined she had a trick like this up her sleeve. It was truly an eye-opener.
"Fatty, why on earth did you provoke them?"
Zhao Wuji sighed.
"Teacher Zhao, I—I..."
"You what? Idiot. They're the new students who enrolled today, and they're stronger than you."
"Come on, did you provoke them first?"
Ma Hongjun stood rooted to the spot.
What the hell?
These people were new students?
Had that many people really enrolled in the academy this year?
