Meeting Du Weilun, Bai Jingtian Challenges Zhou Yi!

"So, all of this started because of the conflict between you and Bai Jingtian in the dormitory, Wang Dong. Is that right?"

In the Outer Court Academic Affairs Office at Shrek Academy, Du Weilun sat upright behind his desk. His gaze swept back and forth over Zhou Yi, Wang Dong, Bai Jingtian, and Mu Jin before finally settling on Wang Dong and Bai Jingtian.

"Yes," Bai Jingtian answered readily.

"Yes..." Wang Dong lowered her head slightly, looking somewhat unwilling to accept it.

"Go on. Why did you two fight in the first place?

"Don't listen to Zhou Yi. Shrek Academy encourages students to spar with one another, but fighting recklessly is strictly forbidden.

"Besides, you're only freshmen."

Du Weilun shot Zhou Yi an annoyed glare, but she didn't think she was in the wrong. She met his gaze with the same icy expression, making him feel as if he had swallowed a fly.

So he turned his attention back to Wang Dong and Bai Jingtian and spoke up in reminder.

"Director Du, here's what happened. As soon as Wang Dong arrived at the dormitory, he made a lot of unfair demands. When I refused, he tried to attack me and threatened to make me disappear from Shrek Academy."

Bai Jingtian glanced at Wang Dong. Seeing that she didn't seem to have gathered her thoughts yet, he immediately began speaking at a measured pace.

After listening to Bai Jingtian's account, Du Weilun's expression became quite a sight.

Although he knew Wang Dong came from the Clear Sky Sect, making demands to that extent was still going too far.

Who among those who made it into Shrek Academy didn't have some ability?

"Director Du, don't listen to his nonsense. I only wanted to get to know him, but he mocked me for being a sissy and tried to get handsy with me..."

Seeing that Du Weilun seemed to have been persuaded by Bai Jingtian and was about to make a decision against her, Wang Dong hurriedly racked her brains for lies to smear Bai Jingtian.

But Du Weilun was no fool. He had seen every change in Wang Dong's expression clearly, so naturally he could tell how much truth there was in her words.

Before he could speak, however, Zhou Yi immediately said:

"Director Du, how about this? Let them duel again in three days, and let the result of that duel serve as the final outcome of their earlier fight. What do you say?"

Zhou Yi had already looked over Wang Dong's records. In her view, Bai Jingtian had only been able to beat Wang Dong because Wang Dong had underestimated her opponent, failed to make good use of her advantages, and fallen into the treacherous and cunning Bai Jingtian's trap.

Given three days to properly instruct Wang Dong, Zhou Yi was completely confident she could have Wang Dong blast the detestable Bai Jingtian down!

Moreover, Zhou Yi's mind was working quickly. She even wanted to use her connections through her husband Fan Yu, a director in the Soul Tool Department, to prepare a few Soul Tools for Wang Dong.

In battles between cultivators below the Soul Saint level, Soul Tools could clearly play a significant role.

When the time came, Zhou Yi could then tamper with the rules of the duel three days later, letting Wang Dong stay in the air and use Soul Tools to harass Bai Jingtian, who could only run on the ground. Wang Dong's chances of winning would naturally be greater.

"Well..." Du Weilun hesitated too.

In the end, this was only a matter between two students. If they could settle the winner and loser in a witnessed duel, then the matter would naturally be laid to rest.

Besides, Wang Dong was from the Clear Sky Sect. As long as he hadn't committed any serious offense, it would be difficult for Du Weilun to punish him too harshly.

In the original story, Dai Huabin had even sent people to ambush and kill Lao Huo, a core disciple of both the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Tool Department. Although they said at the time that Dai Huabin would have no chance of entering the Inner Court, he later entered it just fine and could even take part in the tournament as a main member of Shrek Academy's representative team.

Clearly, descendants of prestigious families like Wang Dong were born with a golden immunity token.

Bai Jingtian glanced at Wang Dong and Zhou Yi in displeasure, his disgust for them growing even deeper.

Wang Dong's reckless slander reminded him of some ill-omened bitch from Wu X University, and Zhou Yi's little scheme hadn't escaped his notice either.

The boost from the Sea Tiger Template and the Blue Scientist had made his mind sharper. He could even learn calculus at fourteen, evolving in Elder Qian's eyes from a monkey asking, "Do you want a banana?" into a rather slow-witted student.

He was someone who would become a Peerless Sea Tiger and inherit the ultimate techniques of Hell, one of the Original Four Strongest. How could he allow two senseless women to insult him?

So he spoke again:

"Director Du, there's no need to put yourself in such a difficult position. Since this Teacher Zhou Yi thinks the conflict between Wang Dong and me shouldn't have happened, all I need to do is have a duel with Teacher Zhou Yi right now.

"If I win, please hold Teacher Zhou Yi severely accountable for barging into Freshman Class Nine without cause, disrupting the class, and even threatening and insulting the students and their teacher. How about it?"

"Jingtian, are you serious? Zhou Yi is a Soul Emperor. You're only a Soul Grandmaster; you can't beat her!"

Mu Jin turned pale with shock. She hurriedly pressed a hand on Bai Jingtian's shoulder and tried to dissuade him.

Wang Dong also looked puzzled. Zhou Yi was far stronger than her, yet Bai Jingtian actually wanted to challenge Zhou Yi?

Had he lost his mind?

At first, Zhou Yi merely scoffed at Bai Jingtian's wildly overconfident proposal, but then she spotted something she had overlooked.

Bai Jingtian was clearly picking a fight with Zhou Yi, accusing her of disrupting the class and intimidating students!

Unless Du Weilun was a fool, he would deal with her over those two things.

And then, regardless of whether she won or lost her fight with Bai Jingtian, the result would be unfavorable to her.

If she won, she would still be in trouble if Bai Jingtian and Mu Jin accused Zhou Yi of maliciously abusing a student.

If she lost, not only would she be disgraced for being beaten by a student, but Du Weilun would also deal with her severely...

Wait, how could she possibly lose?

She was Zhou Yi, wife of Fan Yu, the Soul Tool Department's foremost genius, and a Soul Emperor with the Red Dragon Martial Soul. How could she lose to a freshman with two rings?

"Bai Jingtian, do you really want to challenge Zhou Yi? Even if you don't challenge her, I'll still deal with the issues you just mentioned."

Du Weilun asked anxiously, not even realizing that he should have sternly refused.

"Yes. If all I can do is stand by and watch that perverted old hag throw tantrums everywhere, even bullying me and my teacher, without being able to fight back to her face, then that would be worse than death for me!"

Bai Jingtian answered in a firm voice.

He knew the gap in Soul Power between him and Zhou Yi was considerable.

But he also knew he had begun evolving toward Electric Current Propulsion.

He knew he had level twenty-nine Soul Power.

He knew he had taken his first steps into the Complete Realm.

He also knew he had Sea Tiger Martial Arts.

She was just a measly perverted old hag. He had the Peerless Sea Tiger Template; how could he be defeated like this!
