Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Warning, Zhu Lu's Recklessness!

"Yuhao, unless it is absolutely necessary, you must never use Soul Shock on that Gu Shengge."

The moment the match ended, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's warning rang out in Huo Yuhao's mind, his voice carrying an unprecedented gravity.

Huo Yuhao paused as he was leaving the spectator stands, confusion rising in his heart. "Is there a problem, Brother Sky Dream?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm told Huo Yuhao his speculation. "That guy's spiritual power is very strong. I suspect he has an extremely high-quality head Soul Bone. That Nine-Tailed Fox soul master just used a spiritual-type soul skill on him and suffered a backlash. Otherwise, why would she suddenly collapse unconscious?"

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao was utterly shocked. It was one thing for Gu Shengge to possess Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings, but he also had Soul Bones.

Could it be a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone?

After all, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was guaranteed to drop a Soul Bone. Gu Shengge had three Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings, so didn't that mean he possessed three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones?

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said, "That's possible. So remember what I said, Brother. Don't use spiritual attacks on that guy, or you'll be the only one suffering the backlash."

Huo Yuhao nodded, a trace of lingering fear rising in his heart. He had been planning to use Soul Shock on Gu Shengge the next time they met in a match. Fortunately, Brother Sky Dream had warned him, or Cui Yajie's fate today would have been his tomorrow.

Gu Shengge stepped down from the arena, and Ning Tian's group surrounded him. All three girls cried out in amazement. Nanmen Yuner stepped forward and hugged her class monitor's arm, her softness pressing against him as her lovely face brimmed with adoration.

Gu Shengge raised a hand and rubbed Nanmen Yuner's head, a faint gentleness appearing in his eyes. Nanmen Yuner wore an expression of enjoyment.

After her initial delight, Ning Tian became somewhat worried. "Class Monitor, you hit Dai Huabin so hard. I'm afraid the White Tiger Duke's Estate won't let this go."

Gu Shengge felt that Ning Tian's concern was not without reason. In the original story, after Dai Huabin repeatedly lost to Huo Yuhao, he sought help from the White Tiger Duke's Estate in an attempt to get rid of Huo Yuhao.

That punch had broken one of Dai Huabin's arms. Though Shrek Academy's treatment would ensure he was not crippled, Dai Huabin certainly would not let the matter rest.

But why would Gu Shengge fear a mere White Tiger Duke's Estate? Even Dai Mubai did not frighten him. It was not as if he had no one backing him.

Gu Shengge told Ning Tian not to worry and said with a smile, "The White Tiger Duke's Estate may be powerful, but they can't do anything to me. If Dai Huabin truly has no shame and gets someone to retaliate, he'll be the one who ends up unlucky, not me."

His words also confirmed Ning Tian's suspicions. As expected, her class monitor had a reclusive power behind him, one even stronger than the White Tiger Duke's Estate.

Ning Tian did not bring up the matter again. Instead, she began probing Gu Shengge with roundabout questions, hoping to learn something about the hidden power behind him.

Two hours later—

Shrek Academy infirmary.

Under the treatment of the Life Tree Soul Sage, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, and the others had all recovered from their physical injuries. Cui Yajie, however, had suffered a spiritual backlash and was still unconscious.

Leaning against the headboard, Dai Huabin felt the lingering pain in his right arm. He could not exert strength with it for the time being. His handsome face had turned incomparably gloomy, his eyes filled with rage and humiliation.

He was the legitimate son of the White Tiger Duke's Estate, as well as the White Tiger Duke's most talented son. Yet he had been defeated by a single punch from one person. How could Dai Huabin possibly swallow this humiliation?

The sexy and voluptuous Zhu Lu stood beside Dai Huabin's bed, one hand covering her abdomen, where a faint ache still remained. She frowned slightly, anger appearing on her proud face as she spoke to Dai Huabin, her voice brimming with resentment toward Gu Shengge.

"Hua Bin, let's have our families act and get rid of that guy!"

Dai Huabin was tempted when he heard that, but he still shook his head and rejected Zhu Lu's suggestion.

Although he too wished he could kill Gu Shengge, this was Shrek Academy, not the Star Luo Empire. If the academy discovered that he had used his family's power to eliminate an opponent simply because he had lost a match, he would certainly be expelled.

It was not worth the loss.

It was only one match. Dai Huabin could afford to lose.

However, Zhu Lu did not think the same way as Dai Huabin. She already hated Gu Shengge to the bone. He had caused her to make such a huge fool of herself at Shrek Academy—how could she endure that?

Cats held grudges.

In Zhu Lu's view, Zhu Zhuqing, an ancestor of the Zhu Clan, had been one of the original Shrek Seven Monsters and had ascended to godhood alongside Sea God Tang San. Even if she used her family's power to eliminate Gu Shengge, Shrek Academy would surely turn a blind eye.

The sexy little she-cat told Dai Huabin to rest well, then turned and left the infirmary.

As Dai Huabin watched Zhu Lu's curvaceous figure leave, a bad premonition rose in his heart. Faintly, a glimmer of green seemed to gather above his head.

Elsewhere, Gu Shengge went to the girls' dormitory to find Jiang Nannan, only to be told by the dormitory matron that Jiang Nannan did not wish to see him.

Gu Shengge looked up toward the floor where Jiang Nannan lived, confusion in his eyes. He could not understand why Jiang Nannan had been avoiding him lately, nor why she had gotten involved with Xu Sanshi again.

Could it be the world's corrective force?

That thought cast a shadow over his heart. The more he thought about it, the more irritated he became, and he turned to leave the girls' dormitory.

On the lakeside path, a gentle breeze drifted past, ripples stirring across the lake's surface as a faint dampness permeated the air.

Gu Shengge strolled along the edge of Sea God Lake, stopping and starting as he enjoyed the lake breeze. His previously restless mood gradually calmed.

At first, he had merely pitied Jiang Nannan and did not want her to suffer Xu Sanshi's violation as she had in the original story. Later, after they spent more than half a month together in Eastsea City, feelings had gradually developed.

Now, Jiang Nannan had repeatedly refused to meet him and even appeared somewhat intimate with Xu Sanshi. It truly disappointed him.

If she had an issue with him, she could simply say it directly. What was the point of hiding from him?

Gu Shengge sat down on a stone bench by the lake, calmly watching the water, deeply dissatisfied with Jiang Nannan's behavior of avoiding him.

"Gu Shengge!!"

Suddenly, a woman's voice brimming with anger and hatred rang beside his ear.

Gu Shengge turned his head and saw Zhu Lu approaching from who knew where. Her proud, pretty face was full of rage, and hatred for him filled her beautiful eyes. Her ample chest surged as fiercely as her momentum. Like a furious little she-cat with her fur standing on end, she charged at Gu Shengge with teeth bared and claws raised, as though she wanted to scratch his face to pieces.

Looking at the furious, sexy cat girl, Gu Shengge asked calmly, "What is it?"

His indifferent tone made Zhu Lu freeze slightly. Then her fury blazed even hotter. What was it? He actually asked what was it? This detestable bastard!

"You surnamed Gu, you actually dare ask me what it is! You nearly crippled Hua Bin's hand! Do you know who he is? You deserve to die! The White Tiger Clan and the Zhu Clan won't let you off. You'd better stay in the academy forever and never leave, or we'll definitely kill you!"

Zhu Lu loudly cursed Gu Shengge. Her threat made Gu Shengge's expression darken, a layer of frost spreading over his face as his cold gaze fell upon this reckless, sexy little she-cat.
