At those words, Dai Mubai's Dao Heart shattered instantly. Rage assailed his heart, and he spat blood.
If he had known Chen Jue had slept beside Zhu Zhuqing, he might have died of anger on the spot...
Flender glanced at Dai Mubai and sighed.
Why was he so unable to keep his composure?
Was this really one of Shrek's monsters?
He waved a hand, signaling Li Yusong to take Dai Mubai away for treatment.
Then he turned to Chen Jue, a trace of shock still lingering in his eyes.
"Your name is Chen Jue, correct? I'm the dean of this academy. Can you explain what just happened?"
Chen Jue nodded slightly and recounted everything that had just happened, his tone somewhat somber.
"You're saying Teacher Li started this?"
At that, Flender's brows involuntarily twisted into a knot, his eyes full of doubt.
"No, no, no! He was just a mindless weapon. The real instigator was Dai Mubai!" Chen Jue hastily waved his hands.
"Dai Mubai? I don't believe it! He may be a womanizer, but he's a decent person!"
Flender's lips curled into a dismissive smile as he shook his head.
He did not believe it at all.
So Chen Jue told him what had happened that morning.
But Flender still seemed unconvinced.
"I know you might not believe me! Or the people with me. But if someone else said the same thing, would you believe them?"
"Who?" Flender asked.
"Him!"
Chen Jue raised a hand and pointed at Tang San.
"He was a faithful spectator who watched the whole thing!"
Tang San's lips twitched, and he looked rather bewildered.
How had watching the drama dragged me into it?
I was just sitting at home, and a melon fell from the sky?
He had wanted to deny it. After all, he had no fondness for Chen Jue whatsoever and even wanted to kill him.
But he did not.
After all, Xiao Wu was there too. If he denied it...
Then Xiao Wu would certainly think less of him, and that was the last thing he wanted.
So he could only help Chen Jue.
Chen Jue had him firmly in his grasp on that point, which was precisely why he dared to ask Tang San!
Faced with Flender's questioning gaze, Tang San nodded.
"Chen Jue is telling the truth!"
Just then, Xiao Wu also raised her hand. "Chen Jue is right. That guy called Dai Mubai started it! Hmph!"
She still remembered how Dai Mubai had nearly tried to take advantage of her.
Naturally, she would not let such a fine chance to dig a pit for Dai Mubai slip away.
After all, girls were very good at holding grudges!
With so many people speaking up for Chen Jue, Flender realized that Dai Mubai was at fault!
He lowered his head and apologized to Chen Jue.
"I'll deal with this matter. For now, let me apologize to the three of you on their behalf! Later, I'll make Dai Mubai apologize to you in person!"
"No need to be so formal, Dean Flender. I came here to study too. With my strength, am I qualified to enter Shrek Academy?" Chen Jue asked with a smile.
Flender nodded.
"Of course. You can even enter without taking the tests!"
"That won't do! I don't want special treatment! I want to keep taking the tests!"
Chen Jue shook his head. He was here to steal someone else's opportunity.
If he skipped the tests, he could not interfere, and Tang San would be able to hold Zhao Wuji to a draw within the allotted time.
If Tang San got to show off like that, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and the others would surely think more highly of him.
So... I'm the only one who gets to show off!
After considering it for a moment, Flender nodded.
He had originally planned to make Dai Mubai the examiner for the fourth test.
But Dai Mubai had already passed out and probably would not wake up anytime soon, so he would have Zhao Wuji do it!
It was a perfect chance to turn up the pressure on them.
He was still very curious to see where Chen Jue's limits lay.
That would let him tailor a suitable cultivation plan for Chen Jue. After all, this was a promising young genius.
Then he personally tested everyone's Soul Power Level.
The results delighted him even more.
He had never expected so many Little Monsters!
Tang San, level 27 Soul Grandmaster.
Xiao Wu, level 27 Soul Grandmaster.
Ning Rongrong, level 26 Soul Grandmaster.
Zhu Zhuqing, level 28 Soul Grandmaster.
Hu Liena, level 35 Soul Elder.
"All of you are qualified to take the next test. But given your talent, you can skip the second and third tests and proceed straight to the fourth!"
With that, he glanced at Hu Liena.
He had never imagined that even Chen Jue's female companion would have such a heaven-defying Soul Power Level.
Could Chen Jue be a disciple from some great clan, out gaining experience?
Just like Ning Rongrong?
Then Instructor Flender led everyone toward Instructor Zhao Wuji's location.
Ning Rongrong walked with light steps, and almost imperceptibly, she quietly drew closer to Chen Jue.
In the sunlight, she extended a small hand as delicate as a flower bud just beginning to bloom.
"Hello, I'm Ning Rongrong. And you are?"
Seeing the proud little princess Ning Rongrong offer her hand, Chen Jue leisurely took it in a gentle grip, adhering to the principle that only a fool would pass up a free perk.
"Hello! I'm Chen Jue! We'll be classmates from now on. Let's look after each other!"
At his words, Ning Rongrong's lips curved into a faint smile, touched with a young girl's playfulness.
"Mm! Let's look after each other!"
Listening to her, Chen Jue could not shake the feeling that her words carried a deeper meaning.
Seeing Chen Jue momentarily lost in thought, Ning Rongrong assumed he had been captivated by her beauty. Then she cast a provocative glance at Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing.
She seemed to be saying, Sooner or later, your man will fall beneath my pomegranate skirt.
Zhu Zhuqing gave a soft snort. Refusing to back down, she thrust out her already proud peaks.
As the saying went: if you looked down and could not see your toes, you were a peerless beauty.
Ning Rongrong, who understood that saying all too well, gritted her teeth.
After all, those things could not grow bigger overnight!
But she remembered that an elder in her clan seemed to have said they would grow if a man kneaded them.
She had no idea whether that was true!
Hu Liena swept a frost-cold gaze over Ning Rongrong.
Then, without a word, she hugged Chen Jue's arm tightly to her chest, her posture revealing an unmistakable possessiveness.
Chen Jue lowered his eyes slightly, utterly oblivious to the subtle atmosphere around him, and asked gently.
"What's wrong?"
"Hmph!"
Hu Liena gave a soft snort, the sound carrying a barely perceptible hint of jealousy and petulance.
Hu Liena could not hide her feelings at all. Realizing she was jealous, Chen Jue's lips curled into an indulgent smile.
He leaned closer, his warm breath brushing her ear as he murmured.
"Is my Little Fox jealous already?"
"No!"
Hu Liena answered. Although she had promised Brother Chen that she would not mind how many women he had in the future...
Whenever someone came knocking with a challenge, she still could not help feeling jealous!
"Hmph! I finally know why you came here!"
"Studying is just your cover. You're really here to find sisters for me, aren't you?"
At that, Chen Jue began making excuses.
"How could that be? I'm an exemplary student!"
Hu Liena snorted softly, clearly not believing a word.
Meanwhile, Xiao Wu, who stood beside Tang San, felt rather glum as she watched the scene unfold.
She had never expected to have so many rivals.
And their looks were every bit as good as hers.
But that proved she had a good eye for men.
The Heaven Dou Empire.
"Xue Qinghe" shed her disguise and lay alone in her room, clamping a pillow tightly between her delicate, fair legs.
"Brother Chen! Xiao Xue misses you so much!"
"It's been so many days, and you still haven't come to see me!"
"You lousy man! If I don't come looking for you, you won't come looking for me, is that it?"
She recalled every little moment she had shared with Chen Jue.
"Grandpa Golden Crocodile said he seems to be very well looked after by other girls!"
"Looks like I'll have to find a chance to go see him!"
But before that, she still had to improve her strength. She had no intention of losing!
She wanted to be on top!
Not on the bottom!
