Go to Hell with Your Draw! Clapping Back at Zhou Yi Again!

On the spectator platform, Xuan Zi announced that the match had ended in a draw. Zhou Yi's expression relaxed. If it was counted as a draw, she would not have to lose a Soul Bone to Mu Jin.

Mu Jin's expression, however, was rather unpleasant. Anyone with eyes could see that Huo Yuhao was far from Gu Shengge's match. If Xuan Zi had not interfered, Class Nine would certainly have won, and Zhou Yi would have lost a Soul Bone to her.

Damn it! Mu Jin cursed inwardly. That biased old bastard!

Angry as she was, she was only an intermediate teacher. If she displeased Xuan Zi, a single word from him could have her expelled from Shrek Academy.

The slovenly Xuan Zi, who looked like a beggar, swayed to his feet as though drunk. Holding his wine gourd, he prepared to leave, only for a voice as clear and cool as jade to ring out through the Assessment Zone.

"I do not accept a draw."

Xuan Zi paused, and a trace of displeasure flashed through his cloudy, weathered eyes.

Zhou Yi and the others all looked toward the arena. Gu Shengge had raised his head to look at them—or, more precisely, at the standing Xuan Zi. His impossibly handsome face wore a cold expression. He showed no submission just because the speaker was an elder of the Sea God Pavilion, openly rejecting Xuan Zi's decision before everyone.

Huo Yuhao had been delighted when he heard the result was a draw, but he had not expected Gu Shengge to contradict the teacher. He could not help feeling annoyed.

The teacher already said it was a draw, so why are you still making such a fuss? Do you have to determine a winner and loser?

Xuan Zi also turned his gaze toward Gu Shengge, looking down at him from above with faint displeasure in his eyes. In all these years, no student had ever dared contradict him. What nerve! He spoke in a deep voice, questioning him.

"Why do you not accept it?"

"Why should I accept it?"

Gu Shengge replied coldly. With that meager bit of strength from Huo Yuhao's team, if Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had not stepped in, they would have been thoroughly crushed by him long ago. Why should he accept a draw?

Xuan Zi had not expected Gu Shengge to be so unyielding, and his displeasure deepened. A hint of anger appeared on his face as the powerful aura of a rank ninety-eight Super Douluo gradually spread out. Zhou Yi, Fan Yu, and the others changed expression, their bodies tensing as they grew nervous and uneasy, watching Xuan Zi in fear.

At the same time, Zhou Yi felt even more disgusted by Gu Shengge. That damned fellow had already been bad enough when he contradicted her before. Now he even dared to contradict Xuan Zi. He was courting death!

Not only the Eighth Zone, but the students and teachers in the other Assessment Zones also felt Xuan Zi's aura. It was as vast and deep as an abyss, making it hard for them to breathe. All of them were shocked.

Even before the overwhelming might of a rank ninety-eight Super Douluo, Gu Shengge showed no fear. He raised his head and stared at Xuan Zi, enduring the mountain-like pressure without yielding in the slightest.

Forget Xuan Zi—even if Mu En came, he would not be afraid.

Seeing that Gu Shengge showed no fear under his pressure, traces of appreciation appeared in Xuan Zi's eyes. What courage.

He withdrew his aura, and Mu Jin, Zhou Yi, and the others let out relieved breaths. They had nearly thought Xuan Zi was about to fly into a rage.

Xuan Zi questioned Gu Shengge again. "What do you want?"

"Let Huo Yuhao compete against me again, or directly rule that he lost."

Gu Shengge spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly. No matter which option it was, Huo Yuhao would have to lose—unless Tang San descended to the lower realm to help him. Of course, God King Tang would first have to get past Destruction and Life.

The moment Zhou Yi heard that, she immediately rebuked Gu Shengge. "What right does a freshman like you have to make choices for Xuan Zi? If Xuan Zi says it is a draw, then it is a draw. Is that something you can change? Say another word, and I will cripple your Martial Soul and expel you from the academy!"

Those domineering words made the other students frown. They could all see what had happened in that match. If the person on the platform had not suddenly intervened, that Huo Yuhao would certainly have lost.

Forget Gu Shengge—even they would not accept a draw.

Seeing Zhou Yi threaten her student, anger flared in Mu Jin's heart. Was it not just because Fan Yu supported her? She was being far too unscrupulous! Mu Jin immediately questioned Zhou Yi.

"Zhou Yi, why are you so agitated? Is it not just because you made a bet with me and are afraid that if your class loses, you will have to give me a Soul Bone? Why threaten my student? Do not tell me you cannot afford to lose?"

Oh—

Mu Jin's words caused an uproar throughout the Assessment Zone. The way everyone looked at Zhou Yi became strange. No wonder she was threatening someone into accepting a draw—so she had made a bet and could not afford to lose.

"Mu Jin, you!"

Zhou Yi turned and glared furiously at Mu Jin. That bitch! How could she not afford to lose?

Fan Yu frowned and looked coldly at Mu Jin as well.

Facing Fan Yu's cold stare, Mu Jin gritted her teeth, suppressing the bitterness in her heart as she continued.

"What? If you cannot afford to lose, just say so. Threatening my student, expelling him? Who the hell do you think you are? Oh, I nearly forgot. Little Gu used to be a student of Class One. You threw him out of Class One because he refused your unreasonable demands. So now you are abusing your authority for personal revenge. Zhou Yi, you truly have no shame."

"Enough! Xuan Zi is still here." Fan Yu shouted, stopping Mu Jin.

Mu Jin looked at Fan Yu, who was protecting Zhou Yi so fiercely, snorted coldly, and turned her head away.

The looks from the other students and teachers toward Zhou Yi became even more off. Unable to accept defeat and abusing her authority for personal revenge—this teacher was no good.

Mu Jin's words left Zhou Yi's true face beneath her mask alternating between green and purple. Fury burned in her eyes, and she wanted nothing more than to slap Mu Jin several times.

Gu Shengge looked up at the enraged Zhou Yi. A cold sneer appeared on his handsome face, and his voice suddenly rose, echoing through the Eighth Zone and even spreading to several surrounding Assessment Zones.

"Cripple my Martial Soul? Expel me? Shrek Academy's teachers truly are domineering. What an eye-opener today. Since that is the case, then come on! I would like to see exactly how you plan to cripple my Martial Soul!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yi glared at Gu Shengge. Too arrogant! Too arrogant! Today, she had to punish this bastard severely!

But the next second, three girls stepped in front of Gu Shengge together, leaving him slightly stunned. Ning Tian raised her head toward Zhou Yi, her eyes icy and her cold voice carrying an unyielding resolve.

"I guarantee this in my capacity as the young sect master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect: if the class monitor suffers any unfair treatment today, if anyone wishes to harm him or cripple his Martial Soul, then they will be an enemy of my Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"

What! The students and teachers were all stunned. This blonde girl was actually the young sect master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!

Gu Shengge looked at Ning Tian standing in front of him and was somewhat astonished as well. He had not expected her to protect him like this when their relationship was clearly not that close.

At the mention of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, a hint of gravity also appeared in Xuan Zi's eyes.

Zhou Yi, who had just been shouting about crippling Gu Shengge's Martial Soul and expelling him from the academy, abruptly fell silent. She stared fixedly at Gu Shengge and Ning Tian, gritting her teeth so hard that she nearly crushed her molars!

Mu Jin, on the other hand, looked at Zhou Yi with immense satisfaction. Stunned now, are you? Did you not expect that, apart from Gu Shengge, an unparalleled prodigy, my class also had the young sect master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?

If you want to expel my student, you had better first consider whether you can bear the consequences.

PS: There had been a lot going on these past two days, and I had been feeling irritated and depressed, so the update count was a little low. Normal updates would resume tomorrow.
