Just as the group was about to head out.

"Boss Dai! Boss Dai!!"

The raspy, broken-gong-like cry had barely faded when Ma Hongjun, a round red-haired meatball, charged in, followed by a tall, skinny fellow with a mess of short hair.

The man had a full beard, sunken eye sockets, and looked old before his time, yet he had a pair of frivolous peach-blossom eyes.

They were Shrek's other two senior students: Ma Hongjun, the Evil Fire Phoenix, and Oscar, the food-system genius.

The two rushed into the courtyard, panting heavily, and their eyes immediately locked onto Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu in the center of the yard.

When they saw the three girls' breathtaking faces, like fairies stepped out of a painting, and their uniquely exquisite figures, Ma Hongjun's drool immediately dribbled from the corner of his mouth. His tiny eyes clung tightly to Zhu Zhuqing's voluptuous curves and refused to move.

Oscar's peach-blossom eyes gleamed with unprecedented lecherous light, as though he had been injected with some miraculous tonic. Green light practically shone from his eyes.

"P-Perfect! Boss Dai, you really weren't lying! There really are peerless beauties this year!"

Ma Hongjun rubbed his two fat hands wildly against his short shirt, his whole body of fat trembling with excitement.

The three girls had already been holding back their anger, and now they were met with those two utterly undisguised lecherous stares. Their expressions instantly darkened.

A cold glint flashed through Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, and a trace of killing intent appeared on her icy little face.

Ning Rongrong frowned in disgust, pinched her nose, and took several steps back.

Xiao Wu puffed out her cheeks in anger. Her rabbit ears stood upright warily, and she looked thoroughly nauseated.

Dai Mubai frowned deeply at the sight. He cursed those two embarrassing fools inwardly, but he still had to preserve his dignity as the senior brother. He quickly coughed twice and stiffly cut in.

"Ahem! Enough, Fatty, Little Ao. Restrain yourselves. Don't act like you've never seen the world before! These are the new students who just passed Teacher Zhao's fourth test today!"

As he spoke, he pointed at Ning Ze and the others and forced himself to introduce them.

Upon hearing that these three stunning beauties were all officially enrolled freshmen, Oscar eagerly puffed out his chest, wanting to make a strong impression on them.

He solemnly smoothed his messy bangs, struck what he believed was a deep and handsome pose, and grinned.

"Three junior sisters, you've just arrived. I heard you just went through a fierce battle? What a coincidence! I am one of the continent's one-in-ten-thousand Innate Full Soul Power food-system Soul Elders!"

With that, he suddenly shook both arms and loudly chanted his soul spell in an extremely slick tone.

"I, your father, have a big sausage!"

A flash of soul light appeared, and three steaming, glistening sausages materialized in Oscar's sweaty palms.

With an eager, treasure-presenting expression, he hurried forward and offered the sausages to the three girls.

"Junior sisters, you've worked hard! My Recovery Sausages can not only rapidly heal wounds, but also restore stamina and Soul Power! Eat them while they're hot. One each, don't be shy!"

Looking at the greasy sausages before them, then recalling the obscene tone he had used for that chant...

"Blech—!"

Ning Rongrong nearly gagged on the spot. Her little face turned green as she backed away three large steps in disgust.

"Stay away from me! You're filthy! Even dogs wouldn't eat that disgusting thing! Take it away, take it away!"

A pair of inch-long, icy claws seemed to emerge from Zhu Zhuqing's cold beautiful eyes. It was as though if Oscar extended that filthy hand even half an inch farther, he could forget about keeping it.

Xiao Wu directly hid behind Ning Ze, poked out her little head, and waved her hands. "That's so disgusting... Brother Ning Ze, make him go away!"

His attempt to curry favor had been ruthlessly rejected. Oscar's hand, still holding the sausages out, froze in midair in extreme embarrassment.

Seeing him suffer a setback, Ma Hongjun secretly rejoiced. He immediately raised his round head covered in red mohawk hair and mocked him disdainfully.

"Tch! Little Ao, what does a sausage-selling support-system guy like you know about a man's sense of security? Get out of the way and stop embarrassing yourself!"

Ma Hongjun puffed out his round beer belly and strutted toward the three girls with his legs spread wide, pounding his chest until it thumped loudly.

"Three junior sisters, allow me to introduce myself! I am a mutated top-tier assault-system battle soul master. My martial soul is the Evil Fire Phoenix! Innate Soul Power rank nine!"

"Once we leave the academy and enter the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts, I'll protect you the whole way! Once my Phoenix Blaze comes out, no matter how fierce the soul beast is, it'll all burn to ash! I'll be your exclusive bodyguard. Your sense of security will be through the roof!"

Ma Hongjun believed that his domineering declaration as a "genius assault-system bodyguard" would instantly win the girls' hearts. He even deliberately winked and threw Zhu Zhuqing a flirtatious look.

Ning Rongrong could not even be bothered to look at him directly and simply gave a cold snort.

"With that fat-headed, big-eared, pathetic face of yours, you dare call yourself a phoenix? You look more like a plucked fat mountain chicken from a barbecue stall!"

Ning Rongrong affectionately wrapped herself around Ning Ze's arm, pressing her entire body against his chest as she lifted her snow-white chin.

"A bodyguard? My Brother Ning Ze is all I need! My Ning Ze can send a level-seventy-six Battle Soul Saint flying hundreds of meters with one punch. What kind of rotten tomato, broken bird egg are you, daring to brag so shamelessly?"

Behind her, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing covered their mouths and chuckled at the sharp-tongued jab.

"Let's go, let's go! This dump is dirty and smelly, and there are even two flies buzzing around. It's disgusting! Ning Ze, let's go into town and hire a construction crew!"

Ning Rongrong had completely run out of patience. She grabbed Ning Ze and headed out of the courtyard.

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing followed without hesitation. The three stunning girls surrounded Ning Ze, dressed in white like fresh snow, as though he were the moon among stars. Laughing and chatting, they walked out through Shrek Academy's gates.

Tang San, who remained where he was, moved his lips and instinctively raised a hand, wanting to call out to Xiao Wu.

But then he remembered that Ning Rongrong's "luxury renovation list" from earlier had not included him at all. His pockets were emptier than his face. If he shamelessly followed them, what could he do besides humiliate himself?

Besides, even Tang San frowned at the crumbling mud-brick house reeking of pigsty stench.

If Xiao Wu really stayed here to suffer, she might end up admiring Ning Ze, who threw around money so freely, even more.

Thinking of this, he could only stiffly retract his hand into his sleeve, his expression so gloomy it seemed ready to drip water.

Only after Ning Ze and the others' figures had completely vanished at the village entrance did Oscar finally come to his senses. Still unconvinced, he sidled up to Dai Mubai and asked sourly.

"Boss Dai, who exactly is that pretty boy in white? So what if he's handsome? Why are those three gorgeous junior sisters circling him like they've been drugged?!"

Ma Hongjun also ground his teeth in anger.

"Exactly! Boss Dai, that little girl was bragging without even bothering to make it believable! She said that brat sent Teacher Zhao flying with one punch?"

"What kind of joke is that? Teacher Zhao is a level-seventy-six Soul Saint! How could some snot-nosed kid who just enrolled possibly send Teacher Zhao flying?"

Oscar repeatedly echoed him. "I think Teacher Zhao went easy on them because they were freshmen! Otherwise, one slap would've smashed them into the ground so deep they couldn't even be dug out!"

Listening to their doubts, Dai Mubai's expression shifted between red and white, and his mouth twitched bitterly.

He wanted to tell them it was true, but when he recalled the unbearable humiliation of having his White Tiger Vajra Transformation shattered by Ning Ze's punch, the truth reached his lips and was swallowed back down.

Damn it, why should I be the only one embarrassed while you two laugh at me? If we're going to lose face, we'll all lose face together!

Dai Mubai's eyes rolled as he gave an evasive cold snort.

"Ahem... Teacher Zhao did go easy on them. He didn't even summon his martial soul. But that Ning guy is indeed a little strange. He has some real brute strength. You'd better be careful not to provoke him in the future."

"Ha?! You think I'd be afraid of him?!"

Ma Hongjun instantly bristled. His tiny eyes widened as he spat heavily onto the ground.

"I'm the Evil Fire Phoenix with Innate Soul Power rank nine, the continent's most top-tier assault-system avian martial soul!"

"Just wait until practical combat class. I'll burn that pretty boy face of his to a crisp with my evil fire and let him see what a true Shrek senior is!"

Dai Mubai sneered inwardly, patted Ma Hongjun's fat shoulder, and perfunctorily said with a teasing expression, "Fine, Fatty. You've got guts. I'll watch your performance when the time comes."
