Save Me!

"Hahaha! What? You want to hit us? Come on, hit us here, hit us here!"

Upon seeing this, the two senior students showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, they burst into unrestrained laughter as if they had witnessed something utterly ridiculous.

They stood one after the other, surrounding Huo Yuhao, who was slumped on the ground, their eyes filled with contempt and pleasure, as if watching a meticulously choreographed clown performance.

The crowd remained in a circle, most of them with numb expressions or a hint of excitement at watching the spectacle.

Occasionally, a few older students who seemed to still have a conscience would furrow their brows and shift their feet, as if they wanted to stop it, but they were quickly pulled back by their companions, who would shake their heads, indicating that it was better to avoid trouble.

Such things are nothing new at the Shrek Academy, a place teeming with geniuses and fiercely competitive.

Wherever there are people, there is a world of intrigue, especially here at Shrek, a gathering place for the continent's most talented individuals. Each one is proud and ambitious, and open and covert struggles for resources and status are almost the norm.

Freshmen are bullied by upperclassmen, those with less talent are suppressed by those with more talent, and those with powerful connections run rampant – this is an unspoken "rule" that everyone knows.

Apart from the freshmen who have just entered the university and are still full of enthusiasm and dreams, most senior students are already used to this and even take it for granted.

They simply watched indifferently, as if observing a drama that had nothing to do with them.

Within Huo Yuhao's Sea of Spirit, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was so anxious that it almost twisted its plump, soft body into a knot.

"Yuhao! Calm down! This is not the time to act rashly! The effects of that powder won't dissipate anytime soon, if you fight head-on, you're just throwing your life away!"

Listen to me, call for your teacher! Only by calling for your teacher can you get through this!

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm knew exactly what was going on, but he couldn't reveal it.

If I rashly intervened to help Huo Yuhao neutralize the effects of the medicine, the leakage of my immense Spirit Power would be instantly sensed by all the Titled Douluo of Shrek.

At that point, not only would Huo Yuhao's growth plan be ruined, but his own life would also be at risk.

That's why he had this brilliant idea and came up with this clumsy solution.

Using Huo Yuhao's voice to amplify his own, he secretly enhanced his Spirit Power, amplifying the sound so that the entire Outer Court could hear it. As long as any teacher was attracted, those two bastards would not dare to cause trouble again.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao's mind was in a fierce battle between reason and humiliation.

Those four words, "Teacher, save me," felt like a thousand red-hot needles piercing his pride.

He lived in the White Tiger Duke's Estate for eleven years, enduring countless scornful looks from servants and beatings from stewards. Even the kitchen helpers could kick him, but he never cried out for help or bowed his head to anyone.

But today... he gritted his teeth, and his gums bled.

Brother Sky Dream is right. Now is not the time to show off. If he were to perish here today, who would avenge our mother's death?

The road to becoming stronger has only just begun; we cannot let it be ruined by two rats in the gutter.

He took a deep breath, swallowing all the humiliation, and squeezed out those four words through gritted teeth, his voice hoarse like sandpaper scraping against a rough tabletop. "Teacher... save... me..."

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had been preparing for this moment. The instant Huo Yuhao spoke, it silently Entanglement a wisp of its Spirit Power around those four words, as if giving his voice an invisible amplifier.

The originally hoarse and weak voice instantly became loud and clear, with a strong penetrating power, directly breaking through the Teaching Building and rolling all the way to the entire Outer Court area.

Even the cooks who were clearing away dishes in the cafeteria were stunned for a moment, and the soup ladle in their hands fell to the ground with a "clatter".

The teachers who were about to sit and chat in the office all looked up, frowning as they gazed towards the Teaching Building.

Almost the instant the sound rang out, a black beam of Soul Power flashed, and a middle-aged man dressed in Shrek Academy teacher's uniform appeared beside Huo Yuhao.

He created a slight whirlwind when he landed, kicking up dust.

The middle-aged teacher frowned deeply. He first glanced at Huo Yuhao, who was slumped on the ground, and saw that blood was trickling from the corner of his mouth, his face was as pale as a sheet, and his school uniform was torn at the knees, with blood seeping through.

He glanced up at the two senior students opposite him, and his eyes instantly turned cold.

Those two guys who were just moments ago so arrogant and domineering now looked like roosters with their necks being choked. All their arrogance vanished, their faces were as white as if they had just been plastered with lime, their lips trembled, and they couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

Having taught Shrek for over twenty years, what kind of mess hasn't this middle-aged teacher seen?

Without asking any further questions, he casually pointed to a freshman in the crowd.

"You tell me, what happened here?"

The boy was clearly startled when he was called on, and his schoolbag fell to the ground. He hurriedly squeezed through the crowd and stood in front of the teacher.

His palms were sweaty with nervousness, and he stammered, "Teacher... just now... those two senior students blocked Huo Yuhao and wouldn't let him leave."

They even drugged him with powder, made him kneel down, and slapped him... Huo Yuhao had no choice but to cry for help..."

He recounted everything he had just seen in a rambling, detailed account, including even the specific instance of the two senior students shaking the medicine bottle.

After speaking, he secretly glanced at the two senior students, then quickly lowered his head, afraid of being retaliated against later.

The two senior students turned green with rage.

They had been clinging to a sliver of hope, thinking that as long as they didn't admit it, the teacher wouldn't have any evidence. But after hearing the new student's words, their last hope was shattered.

Immediately afterwards, the two of them subconsciously looked towards the second-floor corridor of the Teaching Building.

When they started making their move, Dai Huabin was standing behind the second-floor railing watching, and he even gave them a look that urged them to resolve the matter quickly.

But now, looking over there, the second-floor railing is completely empty; there's not even a ghost in sight.

The two felt utterly disheartened and cursed Dai Huabin's ancestors for eighteen generations.

That bastard, he ran away as soon as he saw the teacher coming, using us as a shield? He's a real piece of work!

Right at the corner of the second-floor corridor, Dai Huabin leaned against the wall, his face so gloomy it could drip water.

He had just witnessed Huo Yuhao shout "Teacher, save me!" and knew that the operation had failed.

I never expected this kid to resort to such a despicable method to summon the teacher.

He could even imagine that once this got out, people would say that Dai Huabin, the second young master of the dignified White Tiger Duke's Estate, was actually instructing senior students to bully freshmen, and that he was losing all face.

He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, turned around and walked quickly to his classroom. He went to his seat, grabbed a book from the table, and pretended to read it.
