I Disagree

Mu Feng rubbed the spot where Di Qiuli had bitten him, wondering what had suddenly gotten into that woman. She had pounced on him and taken a bite without warning.

After bidding Nanmen Yun'er farewell, Mu Feng rolled up his sleeves and went to the lakeside, asking Yu Tianhuang to apply medicine for him.

"I have no idea what madness came over her. She nearly bit a chunk of flesh off me."

As Yu Tianhuang applied the medicine, he cautiously tested the waters. "Brother Mu, have you noticed that Di Qiuli treats you differently from everyone else?"

"You noticed too?" Mu Feng nodded solemnly, then pointed at his head. "I suspect there's something wrong up here."

"Probably split personality disorder."

Yu Tianhuang smiled helplessly and did not take Mu Feng's joke seriously.

When the two returned to the dormitory entrance, Mu Feng was astonished to see a black-haired boy straddling another boy with pink-blue hair on the lawn, in an extremely suggestive position.

It was Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong. Huo Yuhao's legs were tightly wrapped around Wang Dong's waist, his hands pinning Wang Dong's arms as he pressed his entire body against Wang Dong's back.

Fortunately, most people were still in the Soul Combat Zone reliving that match. Aside from Mu Feng and Yu Tianhuang, the only one at the dormitory entrance was Mu En, lying in a chair and happily fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan.

Huo Yuhao shouted, "Do you admit defeat or not?!"

Mu Feng naturally knew Wang Dong's true identity, while Yu Tianhuang, who did not know the truth, looked at the two on the ground with a strange expression.

Especially Wang Dong, who was being pinned beneath Huo Yuhao. Her skin was fair, and her handsome little face was even prettier and more delicate than that of most girls.

Wang Dong noticed Mu Feng and Yu Tianhuang nearby, and her cheeks instantly flushed crimson with embarrassment. She snapped, "I admit defeat, all right?!"

Still angry, Huo Yuhao noticed Mu Feng and Yu Tianhuang. He did not want others to know about the conflict between them, so he merely released Wang Dong with a vicious glare, intending to lecture her once they returned to the dormitory.

Seeing the two let go, Yu Tianhuang hurried forward to play peacemaker. Wang Dong shot Huo Yuhao a glare, snorted coldly, and left.

After learning that Wang Dong was Huo Yuhao's roommate, Yu Tianhuang consoled him. "It's all right, Brother Huo. As they say, no friendship without a fight. You're living under the same roof, so just talk things through."

The sight of Huo Yuhao straddling Wang Dong reminded Mu Feng that Di Qiuli had seemingly pinned him down in much the same way earlier.

Mu Feng's teeth itched with resentment. He said to Huo Yuhao, "Yuhao, remember this. When dealing with unreasonable people, an appropriate lesson can sometimes be more effective than lecturing them."

Without Wang Dong fanning the flames beside him, Huo Yuhao quickly calmed down. "It's fine, Brother Mu, Brother Yu."

Mu Feng patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder. "As long as you're all right."

As Huo Yuhao ran back to the dormitory, he did not forget to apologize to Mu En, who was sleeping by the entrance. "Sorry, Grandpa. We disturbed your sleep."

Mu En waved a hand to show that he did not mind, and only then did Huo Yuhao enter the dormitory building.

Yu Tianhuang could not help saying, "Brother Huo really is polite."

Mu Feng nodded heavily, fully agreeing with Yu Tianhuang. Compared to the overbearing Di Qiuli, Huo Yuhao's manners were simply worlds apart from hers.

Once inside the dormitory, Mu Feng unceremoniously drove Yu Tianhuang out because he was about to take the Profound Water Pill.

"The first time you take a Profound Water Pill, it expels the filth buried deep in your body. For the sake of keeping the dormitory clean, for the sake of my peaceful sleep, and especially for the sake of your currently clean bed, Brother Yu, you should sleep outside."

That night was destined to be sleepless for Yu Tianhuang and Nanmen Yun'er, both of whom had taken the pill. Over the next few days, Shrek Academy's admissions finally came to an end, which also meant that Mu Feng's leisurely days were over.

After defeating Xu Sanshi in an exceptionally brutal manner, Di Qiuli had completely become the talk of the Outer Court.

Whenever Mu Feng occasionally encountered Di Qiuli, he would see male students in uniforms of different colors approaching to strike up a conversation. However, nearly all of them were frightened into retreat by Di Qiuli's icy gaze.

Today was the first day of formal classes. Accustomed to rising early, Mu Feng sat cross-legged on his bed with a slight furrow in his brow. He was only a step away from breaking through to Level Forty, yet recently, he could not find that final spark no matter what he did.

Mu Feng took a deep breath. "Could it be that I've grown lax in my cultivation since entering Shrek Academy?"

Ever since leaving the Holy Spirit Cult, his social circle had expanded enormously. Mu Feng reflected, I really have been less focused on cultivation than before.

Yu Tianhuang finally got up as well. After taking the Profound Water Pill, his Azure-Patterned Jade Glass martial soul had become far more attuned to the water element. The quality of the soul skills he released had improved greatly, and his cultivation speed had also increased significantly after taking the pill.

He owed all this progress to Mu Feng. Moreover, in the mere two days they had spent together, Mu Feng had devoted most of his time to cultivation. His talent was already enviable enough, and combined with his terrifying cultivation hours, Yu Tianhuang had come to admire his monstrous roommate to the point of utter submission. He was even beginning to regard Mu Feng as his leader.

By the time they reached the classroom, perhaps because it was the first official day of class, it was already packed with students. Only the seats in the front remained empty, especially the area around the two people seated in the middle of the first row, which was practically a no-man's-land.

Seeing that there were no other seats, Mu Feng sat down beside Ning Tian without the slightest hesitation.

"We meet again, Mu Feng," Ning Tian said with a smile.

Wu Feng, seated to Ning Tian's left, stared at Mu Feng with an unfriendly expression. Mu Feng nodded, but just then, cries of surprise suddenly erupted throughout the classroom. He thought the homeroom teacher had entered and looked toward the door, only to see Di Qiuli and Nanmen Yun'er.

Di Qiuli's reputation in Shrek Outer Court had already reached its peak. After defeating Xu Sanshi, all her registration information had quickly been dug up by the campus gossips.

After learning that Di Qiuli was in New Student Class Nine, every student who had yet to see her in person had been waiting for the first day of class to witness the golden-haired Tyrannosaurus for themselves.

Di Qiuli swept her gaze across the classroom and quickly locked onto Mu Feng, who was sitting beside Ning Tian. With a single look from her, Yu Tianhuang obediently gave up his seat.

"I want to sit inside."

Mu Feng nodded helplessly. Ever since she had bitten him last time, he was somewhat afraid that this little dragon girl would suddenly go mad again, so he always yielded to her over trivial matters.

Not long afterward, the homeroom teacher, Mu Jin, finally arrived. The first thing she did upon entering was look around as though searching for something. Her gaze finally stopped on Di Qiuli. "Hello, everyone. I'm your homeroom teacher, Mu Jin."

Young and beautiful, with an intellectual air about her, Mu Jin briefly introduced the new students' three-month curriculum and their final assessment.

Mu Jin then changed the subject. "I'm sure everyone has heard over the past two days that our classmate Di Qiuli defeated an upperclassman in the Soul Combat Zone."

"Would you be willing to tell everyone your Soul Power Level, Qiu Li?"

Di Qiuli nodded, rose to her feet, and said, "Level Thirty-Four."

Cries of surprise immediately rang out again from the class of one hundred students.

"In that case, Qiu Li will serve as our class's vice class monitor. Does anyone have any objections?"

The moment Mu Jin said this, the entire classroom burst into chatter. Very quickly, a chubby boy stood up and spoke up for Di Qiuli. "I disagree, Teacher. Di Qiuli is so strong, so why is she only the vice class monitor?"

"That's right, we disagree."

The chubby boy's words immediately drew support from many of the boys in class. By all rights, Di Qiuli, who was both so powerful and so beautiful, was the obvious choice for class monitor.
