Shrek Academy on the Verge of Collapse

Shrek Academy.

Yu Xiaogang wrote furiously, quickly recording, "Onefold Radiant Ring God Official, Three-Ring Third-Level God, Five-Ring Second-Level God, Seven-Ring First-Level God, and Nine-Ring God King."

"Good, good, good! These are all materials related to Deities. Across the entire Douluo Continent, no one knows this knowledge. Now it all belongs to me, Yu Xiaogang..."

Whether it was the Divine Power system or knowledge of Divine Positions, he did not need to understand these things right away. He could record them first and slowly comprehend them when he had the chance later.

At the thought that these secrets of the Deities could be added to his Ten Great Martial Soul Theories, and that he could even write books, become famous across the continent, and leave behind a lasting legacy even after death, Yu Xiaogang's eyes turned bloodshot with excitement. He panted like a bull, unable to suppress the thrill coursing through his entire body.

As he wrote, Yu Xiaogang seemed to think of something. His hand, which had been racing across the page, suddenly stopped.

He raised his head toward the Sky Screen. The wild joy in his heart instantly vanished, replaced by a powerful surge of dissatisfaction.

The Sky Screen had indeed revealed secrets of the Deities, but it covered all of Douluo Star. Didn't that mean everyone in the world had seen this information?

Could a secret known by the entire world still be called a secret?

The answer was obvious. Information related to Deities was no longer secret at all.

The moment he thought of his dream of writing books, becoming famous across the continent, and even being remembered for generations after his death being shattered, Yu Xiaogang's eyes turned bloodshot again, and he panted like a bull.

This time, he was furious.

Yu Xiaogang cursed wildly in his heart, Damn it! Fine, the Sky Screen exposed powerful Deities! But why did it have to reveal such crucial knowledge about the Deities to everyone on Douluo Star?!

If he alone had obtained these secrets of the Deities, he could have added them to his painstakingly crafted Ten Great Martial Soul Theories without any restraint.

At that time, his reputation as a master of Martial Soul theory would have spread throughout the continent. Even hundreds or thousands of years later, countless Soul Masters studying Martial Soul theory would remember the name Yu Xiaogang.

But now?

The Sky Screen had made information about the Deities public to all of Douluo Star. Men and women, young and old, Soul Masters and commoners—everyone knew it.

This opportunity that could have made his name immortal instantly became worthless.

In an unoccupied corner, Zhu Zhuqing watched the Sky Screen and murmured inwardly, The tenth-ranked Bibi Dong and ninth-ranked Qian Daoliu are both high-ranking figures in Spirit Hall. Given the relationship between the Star Luo Empire and Spirit Hall, defecting to them would be no different from walking into a trap.

The eighth-ranked Bo Saixi is an overseas powerhouse. The sea is so vast that I have no way of finding her, while the seventh-ranked Tang Chen is the ancestor of the Clear Sky Sect. I have no chance of approaching that legendary powerhouse either.

Only Shui Wulü, the sixth-ranked Quasi-God powerhouse, is an important figure I can currently reach. Moreover, Skywater Academy only accepts female Soul Masters and is uninvolved in imperial conflicts. It perfectly suits my identity and circumstances, making it the most suitable destination for me.

Besides that, the newly revealed fifth-ranked Ice Empress is not only a legendary Deity-level powerhouse, but also from the Tianshui Shui Family and Shui Wulü's sister-in-law.

If I can become the disciple of either of them, it would be equivalent to having the Tianshui Shui Family, this colossal force, at my back. Then why would I need to swallow my anger and fear the pressure brought by Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun? Even the Star Luo Empire's brutal rules of succession would mean nothing to me.

The more Zhu Zhuqing thought about it, the more she felt that the Tianshui Shui Family was the best choice for her. It could not only protect her, but also spare her the troubles of the Star Luo Empire.

After making her decision, she turned to look at the others. When she saw Dai Mubai's clownish expression as he drooled over beautiful women, Zhu Zhuqing could no longer endure it.

"Dean Flender, I want to withdraw from the academy!"

"W-withdraw from the academy???"

Flender was stunned by Zhu Zhuqing's words.

He asked in great surprise, "Student Zhuqing, why do you want to withdraw? I hope you can give me a reason!"

At that moment, everyone present turned their eyes toward Zhu Zhuqing, their faces filled with confusion.

Dai Mubai in particular clenched his fists, his eyes dark and gloomy.

Zhu Zhuqing met everyone's gazes. Her cold voice did not waver in the slightest. "Because I don't want to die. I want to live. Dean Flender, is that reason enough?"

If she could see any chance of defeating Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun, why would she choose to leave Shrek Academy?

Wasn't the throne of the Star Luo Empire tempting enough?

At that moment, Dai Mubai stepped forward in a rage and snorted coldly. "Zhu Zhuqing, don't think I don't know what you're thinking."

"You obviously despise Shrek Academy. You want to join the Tianshui Shui Family, don't you?

Don't forget that we have a marriage contract. Without the approval of me, your fiancé, you're not going anywhere!"

In Dai Mubai's eyes, Zhu Zhuqing was his plaything. How could he allow prey he had yet to claim to escape?

As the daughter of the Zhu Family, Zhu Zhuqing had been born to serve beneath him.

A plaything should have the attitude of a plaything, and a subject should have the awareness of a subject.

Zhu Zhuqing should obediently kneel before him. She should even strip herself naked and wait for him to conquer her.

Facing the enraged Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing mocked him without hesitation. "Dai Mubai, you disgusting bastard ruled by your lower half, you are not worthy of being my, Zhu Zhuqing's, fiancé!"

"If you had the courage to face Dai Weisi, I might think a little more highly of you. But not only do you lack the courage to face Dai Weisi, you spend every day thinking only about getting me into bed.

When you fail, you often go to brothels with Ma Hongjun and Oscar. You even neglect cultivation entirely. A useless tiger like you, weak in the kidneys, gives me absolutely no hope of surviving."

Zhu Zhuqing's merciless words directly dragged Ma Hongjun and Oscar into the crossfire for no reason.

The two looked at Zhu Zhuqing resentfully. This was a matter between her and Boss Dai, so why had they been dragged into it?

Ning Rongrong wore a disgusted expression as she backed far away. "Ew! Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, you three are disgusting! Stay away from me from now on. I'm afraid you'll pass some disease on to me!"

It would have been one thing if she had merely heard rumors before, but she had never expected them to be true.

She was the precious young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and still an innocent maiden. She did not want to catch some strange disease.

Ever since Shui Wulü had unleashed the might of a Quasi-God and suppressed all of Heaven Dou City, Ning Rongrong no longer dared to call herself a little princess!

Compared to Shui Wulü, that little princess no one dared provoke, her own title was simply humiliating.

"Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, y-you two!"

Dai Mubai's face flushed red with rage. He pointed at Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, unable to say another word.

Oscar looked utterly despairing. His hope of winning Ning Rongrong was gone.

Ma Hongjun did not care. Everyone already knew he was a brothel regular.

At that moment, the Sky Screen changed once more...
