Hu Liena saw that he was willing to eat the pastries she had made.
The nervousness she'd felt before coming here finally eased.
She suddenly realized that watching a handsome man eat could be a pleasure in itself.
Her heart was practically floating~
Thousands of people beneath the arena witnessed the scene.
They were all stunned, completely dumbfounded.
With Hu Liena and Senior having this kind of relationship—
What chance did they stand?
What was the point of even trying?
Liu Erlong looked at Hu Liena on the arena and sneered coldly:
"Master and disciple are cut from the same cloth. You just love fawning over men who could never belong to you!"
When Yu Xiaogang heard that, he thought, This is bad.
He did his best to pretend he hadn't heard.
But just the fact that he was still breathing was apparently enough to get him in trouble.
For no reason at all, someone pinched him around the waist.
The pain made his lips tremble, but he still had to act like nothing was wrong.
Damn it, who had he offended?
The Shrek Academy arena, in the plaza.
Lin Feng sat cross-legged, looking thoroughly pleased as he ate the pastries.
Hu Liena gazed at him with adoration.
She was the picture of a lovestruck fangirl.
The thousands gathered beneath the arena could only wait.
No one dared disturb Senior while he was eating.
But seeing the lofty, dignified, aloof Senior treat Hu Liena alone with such warmth—
It left nearly everyone feeling disgruntled.
Did being a pretty woman with a good figure,
who could cook delicious food,
and knew how to please men,
mean you could just do whatever you wanted?
In women's eyes, this was the behavior of a scheming tea-sipping vixen. It was shameful.
After a while, Hu Liena saw that he had nearly finished eating.
She looked up at the sky.
The first place on the "Attack" Challenge Gold Stele, which had originally been hers,
had actually been snatched away by Ma Hongjun. Her eyes blazed with fury.
She glared hatefully at Ma Hongjun, who was hiding behind Zhao Wuji.
If looks could kill,
Ma Hongjun would have been hacked to pieces a thousand times over.
Following Hu Liena's gaze, everyone looked up at the Gold Stele.
Only then did they realize that Ma Hongjun had stolen Hu Liena's first place on the "Attack" Challenge Gold Stele.
At midnight tonight, Hu Liena would reach her third day on the "Attack" Challenge Stele.
First place would earn an A+ rating reward.
Second place would earn a B+ rating reward.
Third place would earn a C+ rating reward.
Everyone already knew that Hu Liena and Ma Hongjun had both received C- ratings.
Their rewards had been the God-Given Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring and the Phoenix Pill, respectively.
A C+ rating was already higher than a C- rating.
And that was nothing compared to a B+ or A+ rating.
The rewards they could receive then were simply beyond imagination.
No wonder Hu Liena wanted Ma Hongjun dead.
Flender went over to Ma Hongjun.
Even if the little fatty was a bit of a waste,
he was still the only one of the Shrek Seven Devils currently left at the academy.
He was Shrek Academy's star pupil. He couldn't let anything happen to him.
Otherwise, fewer students would come to enroll at Shrek Academy each year.
And how was he, as the dean, supposed to line his own pockets?
When Ma Hongjun saw Flender approaching,
tears of gratitude immediately welled in his eyes.
He thought bitterly, "Brother San is dear, Boss Dai is dear, but when it really matters, no one's dearer than the dean!"
Hu Liena calmed her frustration and composed herself.
Attack was her weak point.
Even if she started another Attack Challenge today,
she couldn't possibly surpass Ma Hongjun and take first place back.
Soon, Lin Feng finished the pastries.
Hu Liena swiftly packed away the food box.
Just as she was about to accept today's Star Official Challenge,
five auras belonging to Titled Douluo came flying in from afar.
Hu Liena turned and saw Yue Guan and the others. Her face lit up with joy.
Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, Flender, and Zhao Wuji—
All four of them paled when they saw Yue Guan and the others flying over.
They hadn't expected Spirit Hall to send so many Titled Douluo.
No wonder Dugu Bo, Shrek Academy's senior advisor,
hadn't stopped Hu Liena from entering the academy.
The other teachers and students, along with the Soul Masters who had come to watch,
saw the five figures in the sky releasing the auras of Titled Douluo.
Their faces filled with fear, their bodies trembling.
On the Douluo Continent, Titled Douluo were exceptionally rare top-tier powerhouses.
Who could have imagined that five of them would descend upon Shrek Academy today?
And judging by their clothes, they were all elders of Spirit Hall.
Thinking back to Flender's order—
No one affiliated with Spirit Hall was allowed to enter Shrek Academy today.
It was obvious that the rule had been made to target Hu Liena, who was eligible to take the Star Official Challenge.
When Ma Hongjun saw so many Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall,
he completely panicked. He felt a chill in his pants.
He looked down and realized he'd wet himself.
He was afraid of dying. Truly afraid of dying.
Zhao Wuji and Flender suddenly caught a foul smell.
They turned around and saw Ma Hongjun's pathetic state. Their faces darkened.
Zhao Wuji slapped him so hard he spun like a top,
making three full turns before crashing to the ground.
He roared furiously:
"Ma Hongjun, get out of here right now!"
"Stop making a fool of yourself!"
Flender pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and scolded him too:
"Ma Hongjun, you call yourself one of the Shrek Seven Devils!"
"You wet yourself in front of everyone! You may have no shame, but I, Flender, still have some!"
"Go back and reflect on your actions for a month!"
"You're not allowed out without my permission!"
Their words drew the attention of many people nearby.
They mocked him and gloated.
Their words could not have been more cutting.
Just as Ma Hongjun was feeling terribly wronged,
he noticed Flender secretly signaling to him.
He suddenly understood, and felt even more grateful.
He hadn't expected Flender and Zhao Wuji to be putting on a double act.
They were trying to get him out of harm's way.
At once, Ma Hongjun put on an Oscar-worthy performance.
He got to his feet and slapped himself hard twice.
With a remorseful look, he shouted:
"I know I was wrong, Dean, Teacher Zhao!"
"I'll go reflect on my actions right now. I'm going back!"
Then, without looking back, he slunk away, running as fast as his legs could carry him.
Hu Liena kept her eyes fixed on Ma Hongjun.
She only looked away after the detestable man disappeared from sight.
Yue Guan and the four other Titled Douluo landed beside the arena.
The five cast killing looks in the direction Ma Hongjun had gone.
When the Saintess shook her head at them, they had no choice but to let it go.
