Huo Yuhao: *I'll Endure!*

"Hey, you guys don't know this, do you?"

Another voice chimed in. "I heard about this from an upperclassman. The feud between the two of them goes far beyond what happened during the exam; it's much more complicated."

The senior student was very evasive. I pressed him for details, but he just shook his head and said it involved the reputation of certain powerful figures, and told us not to pry.

But one thing is certain: they have absolutely reached the point of being mortal enemies.

If it weren't for the rules and regulations at school, Dai Huabin probably wouldn't have just gone beyond picking a fight; he probably would have sent assassins to kill Huo Yuhao.

"Oh? Is it that serious?"

The first voice gasped, clearly frightened by the description of "mortal enemies" and "sending assassins": "Isn't this a fight to the death?"

Upon hearing that Dai Huabin had sent people to cause trouble for Huo Yuhao, Lin Ye's lips slowly curved into a very faint smile.

That's interesting, really interesting.

He thought that even though Dai Huabin had been unruly since childhood, this was still Shrek Academy. Even if he wanted revenge, he would have to wait until Huo Yuhao left Shrek Academy.

But I didn't expect this Xiao Bai to be so petty. Not only did it not resist going looking for trouble itself, it even used the older students to cause trouble.

Upon hearing the terms "mortal enemies" and "sending assassins," Lin Ye's interest only grew stronger.

Oh? It seems that the entrance exam that day not only humiliated Dai Huabin, but probably scared him half to death.

The fact that Huo Yuhao could be so hated by a Duke's Mansion's young master that he was willing to use an assassin shows that his potential as a troublemaker was even greater than he had anticipated.

Lin Ye could already imagine Huo Yuhao's tense nerves. The kid was probably holding back a lot of energy, having to deal with both open attacks and hidden arrows.

The way he struggles to survive under pressure is much more interesting than seeing him have a smooth life.

The loud-voiced guys in the front row were still gossiping about Huo Yuhao and Dai Huabin.

Lin Ye was pondering what other juicy gossip he could uncover when a sudden burst of noise, growing louder as it approached, filled his ears.

"Quick, quick! Huo Yuhao is being cornered at the entrance of the Teaching Building by upperclassmen again!"

A student, covered in sweat, suddenly burst open the classroom door, yelled at the top of his lungs, and before he could even catch his breath, he turned and ran out.

The shout was like a powder keg being lit. Most of the people who were sitting in the classroom suddenly stood up and rushed out, afraid of missing any good show.

The amused smile on Lin Ye's lips deepened, and he stood up with the flow of people.

This show came quickly, saving him from having to listen to those half-baked guesses.

Wang Dong'er also stood up and walked out slowly with the flow of people.

Lin Ye squeezed out of the classroom and looked up to see the entrance of the Teaching Building not far away.

Two boys, noticeably taller and more robust than the surrounding freshmen, stood like two walls blocking the way, and the one between them was Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao had no interest in watching the show at the moment. His face was taut, and he glared at the two people in front of him with a gloomy expression. His jawline was taut from the effort.

Lin Ye crossed his arms, leaned against a pillar in the corridor, and watched the commotion with great interest.

Huo Yuhao clearly recognized the two people in front of him. Suppressing his anger, he asked in a low voice, "May I ask what brings you two seniors here?"

"Hey, isn't this so-and-so?"

One of the senior students spoke first. He looked Huo Yuhao up and down as if he had discovered something new and interesting. He exchanged a glance with his companion and then burst into laughter, which sounded particularly jarring in the empty corridor.

He laughed for several seconds before stopping, then leaned down, getting close to Huo Yuhao's face, and said slowly and deliberately in a teasing tone, "What a coincidence, we actually ran into each other here."

"Huh?"

He feigned surprise and drawled, "I seem to remember that Shrek Academy has a rule that lower-year students are supposed to greet upper-year students, but you..."

He held up a finger, almost poking Huo Yuhao's nose, and asked, "Why didn't you greet us?"

The one next to him immediately understood and said, his tone full of undisguised mockery, "Yeah, yeah, look how coincidental we are, running into each other here, and you're not even going to greet us? What's wrong? Are you looking down on us senior students?"

This accusation is both harsh and accurate; it's clearly an attempt to find fault.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, then laughed in exasperation.

He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his palms, and the rage surging in his chest almost burst out of his throat, but he managed to suppress it.

He knew that although these two people were not the same two from yesterday, he was all too familiar with their clownish expressions and their familiar tricks.

This is most likely another attempt by Dai Huabin to cause trouble.

He suppressed the urge to throw a punch, but his heart was ice-cold.

His current strength is far too weak; he can't even beat Dai Huabin, a freshman in the same year, let alone the two in front of him.

Judging from the school uniform badge, the student is at least a third or fourth grader.

Every upperclassman at the Shrek Academy has undergone rigorous selection, and their cultivation level is at least level 30 or higher.

He couldn't even handle a freshman like Dai Huabin, let alone these senior students who had been immersed in the academy for several years.

In this situation, he seems to have no choice but to endure.

He could only swallow his anger for now, but he, Huo Yuhao, would remember this debt.

At the same time, he also deeply hated Dai Huabin.

He never expected Dai Huabin to be so despicable, not content with causing trouble for him himself, but actually sending these senior lackeys to cause him trouble.

Huo Yuhao wasn't stupid. Although he was a bit naive when he first enrolled, after a few days, he had a thorough understanding of most of the situations at Shrek.

Many of these students who barely made it into higher grades are destined not to progress further.

After all, everyone's talent is limited, and Shrek Academy has strict assessments for each grade. If you can't break through a certain number of levels before a certain age, you won't be able to advance to a higher grade.

There are strict restrictions, and the reason why these people obey Dai Huabin's orders is simply to strive for a better future after leaving school.

These students have no hope of promotion; it's impossible for them to advance from third or fourth grade to fifth or sixth grade.

Therefore, they naturally need to plan for their future.

At this moment, Dai Huabin happened to appear, promising some benefits, and they brazenly made their move.

After all, in their eyes, it's obvious which to choose: a promising future or a freshman with no connections.
