Seven-Day No-Questions-Asked Returns Are a Consumer Right

Li Yusong's face immediately flushed red.

Right in front of him, someone had actually taken back money that had already fallen into Shrek Academy's pocket?

How was that any different from slapping him across the face in public!

But before Li Yusong could snatch back his Dragon-Pattern Staff, a powerful force surged through the staff and spun his body around.

With nothing more than a twist of his hand, Fang Yuan used the Dragon-Pattern Staff he held tightly to throw the other man to the ground.

"Ow!" Li Yusong cried out in pain, feeling as though his old bones had nearly been shattered by the fall.

A Soul Emperor-level powerhouse had been knocked down in a single blow before his opponent had even summoned his martial soul?

Everyone waiting in line behind them was utterly stunned by the scene. The previously murmuring crowd fell silent at once.

Among the crowd, two pairs of delicate eyes simultaneously turned toward Fang Yuan.

Dai Mubai, standing behind Li Yusong, had widened his eyes in disbelief.

After recovering his senses, he immediately retreated. The enemy before him was clearly not someone he could handle.

Moreover, the young man and woman he had fought over a room with were following behind this man. Could it be that this formidable enemy had come because of him?

Thinking of how he had mentioned Shrek Academy while making threats before leaving, cold sweat seeped onto Dai Mubai's forehead.

It was hard to say whether this ruthless man, who had defeated Teacher Li Yusong with one hand, had learned of their conflict with him and come to Shrek to seek revenge.

If the headmaster and Teacher Li Yusong found out that he had caused trouble outside and brought someone to their doorstep, wouldn't they skin him alive?

Dai Mubai's thoughts raced.

The only option now was to directly label this man as someone who had come to cause trouble, have several academy teachers attack together, and kill him outright. That way, no one would pay attention to what he had done.

With that thought, Dai Mubai rapidly retreated while circulating his soul power and shouting toward the village:

"Headmaster! Teachers! Someone has come to make trouble and injured Teacher Li Yusong!"

Li Yusong, lying on the ground, nearly spat out another mouthful of blood when he heard Dai Mubai's shout.

If you wanted to call for help, then call for help. Why did you have to emphasize that I was injured?

After that shout, where was this old face of mine supposed to go?

Naturally, he did not know that Dai Mubai had phrased it that way precisely to intensify the conflict.

Sure enough, several furious roars came from the village amid Dai Mubai's shouting.

"Who dares come here and provoke us?"

"You injured a teacher of Shrek Academy? Prepare to die!"

As the roars rang out, several powerful auras rose up and rushed toward the village entrance.

Fang Yuan remained where he was, quietly watching several figures rapidly approach him.

Two Soul Sages and one Soul Emperor—three astonishing auras surged toward him.

Yet when the soul power pressure they released reached Fang Yuan, it was like seawater crashing against a reef, utterly ineffective.

Fang Yuan stood firmly in place, unmoved. The astonishing auras of the three men felt no more than a breeze brushing against his face.

Three figures landed before Fang Yuan in an instant. Li Yusong hurriedly got to his feet as well, gripping the Dragon-Pattern Staff in his hand and glaring fiercely at Fang Yuan.

Among them, a middle-aged man with a hooked nose and a somewhat crafty expression glanced at Li Yusong a few times. Only after confirming that his injuries were not serious did he speak coldly.

"Who are you? Why have you come to Shrek Academy to cause trouble?"

The middle-aged man was Flender, the headmaster of Shrek Academy. Once he spoke, the others fell silent, merely staring at Fang Yuan with hostile eyes.

Fang Yuan raised his hand and displayed the gold soul coins he held. "I merely want my registration fee back."

"What?"

The sight of the gold soul coins in Fang Yuan's hand immediately enraged Flender.

He was already greedy and miserly by nature. Learning that this man had taken back money that had already reached his hands made his heart ache.

Fang Yuan said calmly, "Before I paid the registration fee, no one clearly informed me of your academy's admission standards. Therefore, since I failed the entrance examination, I believe I have the right to demand my registration fee back."

Flender gave a strange laugh. "Kid, I don't know which academy you belong to, coming to Shrek to smash our establishment. But once the registration fee has been paid, it will never be refunded. That is Shrek's rule!"

The moment Flender spoke, he branded Fang Yuan as someone sent by another academy to cause trouble.

However, Fang Yuan did not care. "When no one informed me of the requirements beforehand, I incurred travel costs simply by coming here to register. Yet you only want to collect registration fees without bearing any responsibility or costs. Have you ever considered the people who may become your students in the future?"

Flender retorted, "Who says we haven't borne responsibility or costs? We sent a Soul Emperor-level powerhouse to conduct the entrance test. Isn't a Soul Emperor's labor cost a cost?"

Fang Yuan smiled faintly. "Your so-called entrance test is merely checking bone age and soul power level, isn't it? The Spirit Hall Branch can do those things for free. Why come here and spend ten gold soul coins to have a Soul Emperor do it?

"You only need applicants to provide certification issued by Spirit Hall, yet you still choose to have a Soul Emperor perform such simple tasks. In my view, the purpose of this Soul Emperor isn't to conduct entrance examinations, but to intimidate students and parents so they won't dare ask for their registration fees back, isn't that right?"

"You!" Flender's face turned red with fury.

Their conversation was carried by soul power, allowing everyone present to hear it clearly.

The expressions of several students and accompanying parents turned rather ugly.

Hadn't they thought the same thing? They simply did not dare say it because of the Soul Emperor's intimidation.

Seeing the applicants and parents reveal hesitation one after another, the people behind Flender grew anxious.

They all knew the academy's financial situation. They were counting on this round of admissions to bring in a large sum of gold soul coins as funding!

They couldn't let this kid keep talking! That was the shared thought of every teacher at Shrek Academy.

"Boss, stop wasting words with him. Against someone here to smash our establishment, we should attack together!"

The speaker was Zhao Wuji, a broad and powerfully built man. He was already hot-tempered and rash by nature. With a loud roar, he charged out like a wild beast.

A fierce glint flashed through Flender's eyes when he saw this, and he shouted to the teachers behind him, "Attack!"

With that, the others also swiftly lunged toward Fang Yuan.

Zhao Wuji charged at the front. As the distance between him and Fang Yuan closed, he let out an earth-shaking roar.

"Mighty Vajra Bear, martial soul possession!"

As soul power erupted around him, Zhao Wuji's already massive body swelled even further. He was a seven-ringed Soul Sage, and as his seventh soul ring shone, he transformed into a gigantic bear covered in brilliant golden fur.
