Gemini Star

Before long, all the students had completed the hundred laps within the allotted time and stood loosely gathered in Shrek Plaza.

The smile on Zhou Yi's face gradually faded as she looked expressionlessly at the freshmen before her. Clashing tempers and fighting were good things; they should be encouraged. But if those who cut corners got a taste of success, it would be hard to correct them afterward. She calmly read out a string of names. "You lot, step forward."

"Teacher, what is it?"

One of the students, Tai Long, asked in a deep, muffled voice.

"You can all get out. From this moment on, you are no longer students of Shrek Academy."

"What?"

The students erupted into an uproar, their faces filled with shock.

Two had already been expelled, and there were more to come?

"Teacher, why?"

Anger showed on Tai Long's face. He had not come to the academy just to be expelled over something so absurd.

Zhou Yi quickly recounted what these people had done. After several exchanges, she waved her hand and told them they could leave.

However, the expelled students had no intention of letting the matter rest. They joined forces and went to the Academic Affairs Office to apply pressure.

They could be expelled over something so trivial? Was Shrek Academy not going to do anything about it?

Xiao Xiao watched their retreating backs and could not help sighing. Would anyone who fell into Zhou Yi's hands come out well?

She wondered how Lin You was doing. He had looked so confident that he could not possibly have had no backup plan, but against Shrek Academy, it probably would not matter who stepped in, would it?

For a moment, the little green-haired girl was utterly melancholy.

What was she supposed to do? The two handsome guys she liked looking at most had both been expelled. How was she supposed to get through her days from now on?

"Now, return to your dormitories and change. Then report to class. I'm giving you fifteen minutes. Anyone late will be expelled."

Zhou Yi coldly tossed out those words, then turned and headed straight back to the teaching building.

Meanwhile, the two people Xiao Xiao had been thinking about were walking side by side. Wang Dong strode ahead in a fury, occasionally stopping to glare at Lin You. "Why did you stop me from talking just now?"

Clearly, she was still bothered by having licked Lin You's palm.

A man's hand was filthy, and he had just finished exercising. He had even fought with her. To someone with a cleanliness obsession, it was practically the ultimate humiliation.

"What's the rush? Weren't you the one in a hurry to hold my hand just now?"

With both hands behind his head, Lin You strolled leisurely along the Lakeside Path beside Sea God Lake.

Wang Dong's face flushed slightly before she turned away and said icily, "Don't get the wrong idea. I just didn't want to be expelled with a bastard like you."

"I have to say, rich boy, your hand is pretty soft. Just like a girl's. And you smell nice, too."

Lin You showed no panic at being expelled and casually teased Wang Dong instead. Things had already reached this point, so there was bound to be a good show next.

"Damn it, you're still bringing that up!"

At once, Wang Dong clenched her fists. But then she remembered that she did not seem to be able to beat Lin You, so she slowly lowered them again with an irritated huff. In a low voice, she asked, "I have connections. If you'd let me say it just now, neither of us would have been expelled. It's not too late to go back now."

They were nearing the Dormitory Building. Wang Dong was somewhat lost now. The two of them were on the same side, and could barely be considered temporary teammates, so she revealed a small part of the secret she had kept buried deep inside.

"There's no need. Don't say anything from here on. Just watch me."

Lin You had already spotted the old man sitting in a recliner beneath the Dormitory Building, and the corner of his mouth curled up.

"Yo, old man."

Lin You casually walked over and greeted him.

The white-haired elder, frail with age, gave a slight nod. His kindly face lifted, and his dim yellow eyes looked over Lin You and Wang Dong. In a hoarse voice, he said, "It should still be class time."

He did not need to check the time to know what hour it was, so it was not a question.

"Oh, it's nothing. I got into a fight with this Wang Dong from some Clear Whatever Sect, and they told us to keep holding hands. Neither of us agreed, so we got expelled."

"Our homeroom teacher said her authority in Shrek was unlimited, so I'm here to pack my things and get the hell out."

Lin You casually asked, "By the way, old man, do you know the way to the Sun Moon Empire? Brother Sky Dream said that apart from this place, the Sun Moon Empire has two places about as good as yours. They're also pretty good and can better develop my potential."

For a moment, the smile on Mu En's face gradually fell away. His eyes were as still as ancient wells, deep as the sea, as he silently watched Lin You.

At that instant, even the blue sky and white clouds were suddenly tinged with a golden-white hue. A powerful aura flashed and vanished, as though it could barely be contained, while immense pressure surged toward the heavens!

Situated on a plain, Shrek Academy was bathed in gentle breezes year-round, which swept cherry blossoms from the ground into the air, making the scenery as beautiful as a painting. Yet in that instant, even the wind stopped.

Wang Dong's expression was one of utter horror as she watched the drifting cherry blossoms abruptly freeze in midair. The ripples on Sea God Lake became fixed in place, and this entire space seemed to have been dominated. The source of it all was the old man before her!

Even now, aside from her thoughts, she could not do anything at all. She wanted to speak, but every muscle in her body had stiffened, leaving her unable to open her mouth.

Limit Douluo?

How could this ordinary-looking old gatekeeper possibly be a Limit Douluo?

Wang Dong was utterly shaken. It was difficult to imagine that this old man, whom she passed by often every day yet never noticed enough to even greet, this drowsy old man who looked as though he might pass on the next second, was actually a supreme existence even stronger than her First Father and Second Father!

Mu En lowered his eyelids. His voice no longer held its usual kindness as he said calmly, "Tell me in detail."

At that moment, Mu En had nearly failed to suppress his emotions. A century of cultivation had almost crumbled in an instant, and he could barely control himself.

What kind of nonsense was this?

They had come to class in the morning and were leaving by noon. Never mind the little one beside him with the Light Goddess Butterfly Martial Soul from the Clear Sky Sect—Lin You alone, with his Ultimate Ice and Ultimate Fire, was a talent Shrek Academy could never afford to lose!

One had to know that every rise and peak in Shrek Academy's history had been inseparable from supreme experts. In particular, the possessors of Ultimate Martial Souls throughout history had all been the foremost figures of their eras. That was how they had pushed Shrek Academy to the pinnacle of the continent.

And Lin You, before them now, had his Dual Ultimate Attributes personally verified by a Million Year Soul Beast. That alone was enough to prove his worth!

Even though the God-Making Plan had failed, a Dual Ultimate Attributes Limit Douluo still stood at the peak of the present era, turning the tide for Shrek Academy and supporting its thousand-year protection.

Thus, in Mu En's eyes, Lin You and Huo Yuhao were entirely his hope. Whether Shrek Academy could remain standing amid the current unpredictable conflict among the four nations depended on the future potential of these two children.

Wherever they stood was where Shrek's glory stood.

And now, this brat was saying he had been expelled.

You might as well expel this old man along with him!
