Exposing Shrek Academy

[Speaking of Shrek Academy, aside from that disgusting teacher Zhou Yi, the one I loathe most is Taotie Douluo Xuan Zi.]

At almost the same time, every heroine whose mind was linked to a Diary Copy saw this new line appear.

Star Dou Forest, deep within the Lake of Life.

Gu Yuena's eyelashes trembled slightly, and a ripple of amusement stirred her otherwise tranquil heart.

The Emperor Auspicious Beast had been resting. Seeing the Diary update, it hurriedly checked it. Upon reading those words, it froze, tilting its furry head with curiosity filling its eyes.

Of course, it had heard Xuan Zi's name. The famed Taotie Douluo—there were probably few who did not know him.

He was one of humanity's foremost Titled Douluo. Why did Lin Ye hate him so much?

[Xuan Zi is practically Shrek's greatest scourge. On the surface, he is a revered elder of the Sea God Pavilion, but the things he does behind the scenes would make even the Holy Spirit Cult call him their founding patriarch.

A dignified Rank 98 Super Douluo led the Shrek Seven Monsters to capture an Evil Soul Master with Soul King cultivation, yet he actually let that Evil Soul Master self-destruct right in front of him, blowing the Shrek Seven Monsters into one dead and six injured.

I honestly have no idea how he managed such a record. Forget a Rank 98 Super Douluo—even a Soul Douluo should not have allowed a Soul King to cause such a huge mess right under his nose, right?]

After writing that, Lin Ye was so angry he laughed.

[Soul Power suppression may not be absolute, but the gap between a Soul King and a Super Douluo is no mere ravine. It is an entire vast ocean.

Yet despite such a massive disparity in strength, the Shrek Seven Monsters ended up with one dead and six injured. No one would believe it if they heard it.

It was the kind of spectacular result the Holy Spirit Cult could not achieve even if they gave it everything they had, yet Taotie Douluo Xuan Zi pulled it off effortlessly.

No wonder so many people in my previous life despised him and gave him the nickname Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult. Looking at it now, that nickname really did not wrong him at all.]

[The Shrek Seven Monsters—even if they were not the seven strongest people on the continent in this era, they were still peerless genius seedlings. Yet one of them was blown to death by a mere Soul King. Ridiculous. Completely ridiculous.]

As those lines appeared, every heroine holding a copy was plunged into shock.

The cup in Wang Dong'er's hand nearly fell to the floor, her face filled with disbelief.

A Rank 98 Super Douluo! He could crush a group of Soul Kings with a puff of breath. How could he possibly let the target self-destruct before his eyes and even injure the disciples he was supposed to protect? It was simply absurd.

Xiao Xiao was equally incredulous. She had always held Shrek's elders in awe, but now she felt as though her entire worldview had been shaken.

If even the top-tier powerhouse leading the team was this unreliable, was this legendary number one academy really all that great?

Ma Xiaotao frowned deeply. As a Core Disciple of the Shrek Inner Court, she had interacted with Elder Xuan often.

In her impression, although Xuan Lao was lazy and carefree, he was extremely protective of his own and had always cared deeply for the Academy's disciples. How could he make such a ridiculously low-level mistake?

Her first instinct was to refute it, but the Diary's description was far too specific, making doubt rise in her heart.

Lin Ye continued writing, and the Diary continued updating.

[What is even more laughable is that Shrek treats him like some priceless treasure. No matter how many mistakes he makes, he is always given only minor punishment and stern warnings. They cannot even bear to say a harsh word to him.

During that mission, he not only got the Seven Monsters killed and injured, he also lost Huo Yuhao, who was directly captured by Evil Soul Masters.

If Elex had not been there to cover for Huo Yuhao, he would probably have died on the spot.]

[That nearly shattered Tang San's entire arrangement. If anything had happened to Huo Yuhao, I bet Tang San would have jumped down from the God Realm himself and ground that useless Xuan Zi's bones to dust.

Maybe even Tang San never imagined there could be someone so stupid in this world. A Rank 98 Super Douluo who could not even stop a Soul King's self-destruction and could not even keep watch over the person he was meant to protect.]

[Honestly, compared to Xuan Zi, Tang San actually looks rather pleasant.

But that makes sense. Tang San is merely evil, not stupid.

Everything he does is for his own schemes and his own interests. No matter how disgusting it is, he always has a clear purpose.

But Xuan Zi is different. He does terrible things without any malice at all. People like that are the ones who deserve to die most.

It is not bad people you should fear—it is stupid people. Good intentions that lead to disaster are even more disgusting than pure malice.]

Gu Yuena sneered beneath the lake, her beautiful eyes full of contempt. A Rank 98 human powerhouse could not stop a Soul King's self-destruction?

Either he deliberately held back, or he was stupid beyond measure.

This so-called number one academy on the continent was nothing more than a filthy joke.

[Speaking of stupid and evil people, I have to mention Zhou Yi, the teacher of First-Year Class One.

Relying on the fact that her husband is Fan Yu and has some influence in the Academy, she expels all the students in her class with poor talent and keeps only the gifted ones.

That way, her promotion rate and class results are the best every year, earning her a fine reputation for being strict in teaching and skilled at nurturing geniuses.

To put it bluntly, is she not just scum who cuts corners and tramples on other people's futures to pad her own record?]

Xiao Xiao froze completely. She had been assigned to First-Year Class One, and Zhou Yi was precisely her homeroom teacher.

She had previously heard that Teacher Zhou was the best homeroom teacher among the new students, with the highest promotion rate and the greatest skill at cultivating students. She had even considered herself lucky.

But now she learned that this so-called high promotion rate was actually achieved by expelling weaker students?

Would someone like her, whose talent was not among the best, be thrown out as soon as school began? Xiao Xiao's face instantly drained of color, and panic filled her heart.

Ma Xiaotao frowned tightly. She had never expected Zhou Yi to do something that violated the Academy's rules, using the removal of students to pad her achievements. It was simply despicable and shameless.

[But when you think about it, Zhou Yi and Xuan Zi are only the tip of Shrek's rotten iceberg.

The entire Shrek Academy is rotten to the core.

They constantly claim to be devoted to capturing and killing Evil Soul Masters and preserving peace on Douluo Continent, but what happened? The Holy Spirit Cult's two Saintesses both came from Shrek.

One was the personal disciple of the Dean of Martial Soul Department, Shrek's genius Ma Xiaotao; the other was the Tang Sect's sect master, Shrek graduate Tang Ya.

Afterward, these two became Evil Soul Masters, and the number of people they harmed exceeded that of all the proper Evil Soul Masters combined.]

The instant that line appeared, Ma Xiaotao shot up from her chair in the Shrek Inner Court dormitory.

The Evil Fire throughout her body surged out of control, and scorching Phoenix Flame instantly swept through the entire room, warping the air with heat.

"Saintess of the Holy Spirit Cult? Me?"

Her eyes blazed with boundless fury, and her teeth ground together with a crackle.

Although her Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul possessed an inherently sinister nature, she had always done everything in her power to suppress it. She had never committed any evil, and she loathed Evil Soul Masters with all her heart.

Yet now, someone was actually claiming that she would become a Saintess of the Holy Spirit Cult in the future?

"Hmph, Lin Ye, is it? Just you wait, you bastard!"

She made up her mind. Once that fellow called Lin Ye came to Shrek, she would definitely question him properly about why he was slandering her like this and make sure he received an unforgettable lesson!

But at the very instant that thought arose, an indescribable, supreme, terrifying pressure descended upon her.

That power was more terrifying than any powerhouse she had ever seen. Even the master of the Sea God Pavilion, even Xuan Lao, would be like dust before it.

She felt as though she had been thrown into an endless abyss of darkness, surrounded by forces capable of tearing her apart, as though she would be utterly crushed the next second.

Extreme terror instantly extinguished all her rage. Her body shook violently as she remembered one of the rules of the Diary Copy: she was not allowed to harm the owner of the Diary in any form.

With every ounce of strength she had, she erased every trace of malice, every thought of questioning or retaliating against Lin Ye, from her mind.

Strangely enough, the instant she completely cleared away all malicious thoughts, that suffocating pressure of death vanished without a trace.

Thud!

All strength left Ma Xiaotao's body, and she collapsed to the floor, gasping for breath. Cold sweat streamed down her cheeks, and the clothes on her back were already completely soaked.

Like someone who had just been dragged back from the brink of drowning, her entire body trembled, her eyes filled with lingering terror.

Too terrifying. It was simply too terrifying.

She shakily braced herself against the wall and stood up, though her legs were still weak. Her earlier fury had vanished completely, leaving behind only lingering fear.
