Enemies on a Narrow Road, Class One's Zhou Yi?

Ling Feng's abrupt change in attitude left Ling Luocheng somewhat confused as well.

"Xiaofeng, have you been too exhausted from cultivation lately? Why are you talking so incoherently?"

Ling Luocheng's eyes were filled with worry. She leaned closer and reached out to feel Ling Feng's cheek and forehead.

Perhaps because she cultivated an ice attribute, Ling Luocheng's hand was somewhat cold.

"Ah, my mind was a little muddled just now. I thought you meant for me to go to Heaven Soul Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy."

Ling Feng lightly patted Ling Luocheng's hand to show that he was fine. "Then when are we going?"

"Tomorrow."

Ling Luocheng looked at the half-set sun. She had originally planned to take Ling Feng back with her today, but his breakthrough to level twenty-nine had delayed them.

"We'll set off early tomorrow morning. It'll also give your sister a chance to see how much you've improved!"

At dinnertime, Ling Feng and Ling Luocheng sat together with the elders of the Ling family.

When the elders learned that the two would be leaving tomorrow, they urged them to eat more while crowding around to chat about everyday family matters.

It was not until the moon hung high overhead that Ling Feng finally returned to his room.

Thinking about how he was about to wade into the mess that was Shrek Academy gave Ling Feng a splitting headache.

Go?

The reward was Huo Yuhao's template. Could it be that he was supposed to replace him and become the Sugar God King's Sky-Howling Hound?

Not go?

Wouldn't it be idiotic not to use a cheat when he had one?

"Whatever. I'll deal with whatever comes my way. I just hope they don't go messing around with me."

"At the very least, don't put me in that crazy woman's class—the one who only knows how to expel students!"

Ling Feng turned over in bed and cast those thoughts from his mind.

The night passed without incident.

Early the next morning, while the sky was still dim, Ling Feng climbed out of bed and simply packed the necessities into his storage soul tool.

The Ling family held considerable influence in Extreme North City. Backed by the Extreme North Land, they frequently supplied other cities with all kinds of resources from the region.

Those who lived by the mountain relied on the mountain; those who lived by the water relied on the water. That was the principle.

Though the Ling family was merely a family clan, even some sects could not compare to them in status or wealth.

With such resources as their foundation, producing geniuses like Ling Feng and Ling Luocheng was only a matter of time.

Not to mention something as trivial as a storage soul tool.

By the time Ling Feng arrived at the entrance of the Ling residence, Ling Luocheng was already waiting there.

"Sister Luocheng, morning! Am I late?"

"It's fine. I only arrived not long ago myself."

Simply seeing Ling Feng looking so spirited brightened Ling Luocheng's mood considerably.

"Then let's go. Let your sister see how fast you can run!"

With that, Ling Luocheng shot forward. Within a few breaths, only a dark silhouette remained.

Seeing this, Ling Feng hurried after her, afraid of embarrassing himself in front of Ling Luocheng.

Extreme North City lay at the northernmost edge of the Heaven Soul Empire and was the city closest to the Extreme North Land.

Shrek Academy, meanwhile, lay in the southeast of the Heaven Soul Empire, at the junction of the three great empires.

This journey practically crossed the entire Heaven Soul Empire.

At first, Ling Feng could barely keep up with Ling Luocheng's pace.

But later on, Ling Luocheng fully displayed the strength of a Soul King. Naturally, Ling Feng, with his mere two rings, could not compare.

Taking Ling Feng's strength into consideration, Ling Luocheng naturally did not make things difficult for him.

The two traveled at a leisurely pace, stopping and going along the way. They even found time to enter a large city and have a look around.

By the time they arrived at Shrek Academy's entrance, five days had passed.

"Come on. I'll take you to register first."

Seeing that it was still early, Ling Luocheng directly took Ling Feng's hand and entered the academy.

Under Ling Luocheng's lead, the two soon arrived at the academy's Academic Affairs Office.

Just as Ling Luocheng was about to enter and handle Ling Feng's enrollment procedures, a male student wearing a red academy uniform suddenly approached her.

"Senior Ling, please wait."

After entering Shrek Academy, Ling Luocheng automatically switched into her aloof mode.

Her expression warned strangers to keep away; even from several meters away, she seemed capable of freezing people solid.

"Is something the matter?" Ling Luocheng replied flatly.

"Hello, Senior Ling. I'm a new student who just entered the inner courtyard this year. My name is..."

"I have things to do. Please excuse me."

Ling Luocheng was not known for having a good temper, especially toward people like this who approached her with ulterior motives. She would not show them the slightest courtesy.

If she spoke gently to everyone, the people coming to strike up conversations with her every day would annoy her to death.

Just as Ling Luocheng was about to pull Ling Feng away, the boy hurriedly spoke up.

"Ah, I-I have something... Dean Yan, Dean Yan is looking for you."

The boy replied haltingly.

"Understood. Thank you."

Ling Luocheng gave the boy a slight nod, then looked at Ling Feng beside her. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Dean Yan is probably looking for me because something urgent has come up. I need to go over first."

"The Academic Affairs Office is up ahead. It's enrollment season now, and with your talent, getting admitted won't be a problem."

"There's nothing else you really need to watch out for."

"After you finish your enrollment application, take a look around on your own. Oh, right, tuition is ten gold soul coins. You have enough, right? Tell me if you don't. There's also plenty of tasty food outside the academy. I can take you there another day..."

After giving him a few simple reminders, Ling Luocheng hurried away, leaving only Ling Feng and the boy with the lovestruck expression behind.

"I got to talk to Senior Ling today. Amazing! This is a great start!"

Ling Feng was no stranger to this kind of pathetic simp.

Or rather, it fit Ling Feng's stereotype of Shrek Academy students perfectly.

It couldn't be said that every Shrek Academy student was like this, but the impression they gave others was truly not a good one.

After all, ten thousand years ago, among the four boys of the first generation of the Shrek Seven Monsters, one had been a sexually repressed maniac.

And among the remaining three, two had been womanizers...

Yes, their Sugar God King was the purest and most chaste of all!

Ignoring the boy's attempt at conversation, Ling Feng headed straight for the academy's Academic Affairs Office.

Shrek Academy's admission procedures were very simple. One only needed to have their age and soul power tested; if they met the requirements, they could enroll directly.

"Twelve years old... level twenty-nine!"

Seeing the energy fluctuations radiating from the crystal ball, Du Weilun, who was handling the procedures, immediately had a sharp gleam in his eyes.

"With this talent, he's already the most outstanding among all the new students who have registered so far!"

"No, not just among the new students. Even among all the old students in the outer courtyard, none have talent like this!"

"It seems Shrek can take in another fine seedling for the inner courtyard!"

Du Weilun happily registered Ling Feng. Taking advantage of the moment, Ling Feng leaned over to look as well.

When he saw Du Weilun write his name into New Student Class One, Ling Feng frowned deeply.

"Teacher, may I ask if the homeroom teacher of New Student Class One is... Teacher Zhou Yi?"

Ling Feng truly did not want to acknowledge Zhou Yi as a teacher.

"Yes. Why? Is there a problem?"

Hearing Ling Feng specifically mention Zhou Yi, Du Weilun's expression turned serious as well.

He knew about Zhou Yi's situation.

Because of her so-called "strictness," she had been complained about countless times.

That was precisely why she had been demoted to teaching new student classes.

And Ling Feng's situation was not the first of its kind.

It could be said that Zhou Yi's vicious reputation had long since spread beyond Shrek.

"Could you help me switch to another class? I don't want to become this teacher's student."
