In the early morning, the warm sunlight covered the earth.
Xiao Wu and the others, who had already woken up, were heading to the Shrek Academy cafeteria one after another.
The three girls walked together on the road.
Behind them followed Dai Mubai, and a short-haired Fatty.
The Fatty was about the same age as Tang San and the others, with red short hair, wearing a leather jacket that made him look bulky.
His face was fleshy, with two mouse-like whiskers, and coupled with his lecherous small eyes, he looked extremely lewd.
He was the third student of the original Shrek, besides Dai Mubai and Oscar—Ma Hongjun.
A Beast Spirit Evil Fire Phoenix, a Level 27 attack system Battle Soul Grandmaster.
At this moment, his condition was a bit bad; his already large body was unnaturally swollen.
There was a bloody claw mark on his chest, a few shoe prints on his clothes, some bruises on his face, and bloodstains around his nose.
He had to lean on Dai Mubai to walk, clearly looking like someone who had been ravaged.
"Hmph! What kind of weirdos are in this academy!" Xiao Wu's displeased voice rang out.
"There's no shortage of scoundrels and degenerates," Zhu Zhuqing echoed from the side, her face covered in frost.
Just now, shortly after they left, they encountered Ma Hongjun trying to force himself on Cuihua.
They spoke up to stop him, but Ma Hongjun responded with vulgar words.
So the girls worked together and gave him a good beating.
By the time Dai Mubai arrived to explain for him, the dead Fatty was already collapsed on the ground.
After Dai Mubai's explanation, they already knew that Ma Hongjun's Spirit had mutated.
But the three girls still felt a sense of discomfort.
They didn't know how old he was when he started needing to vent his inner evil fire.
Listening to the conversation between Dai Mubai and a Fatty behind them, they felt a bit nauseated.
"And there's a lewd man." As soon as they stepped into the cafeteria, Ning Rongrong, who was right beside Zhu Zhuqing, frowned.
Inside the cafeteria, Tang San and a white-haired man were already eating.
The white-haired man was staring intently at Ning Rongrong, his peach blossom eyes looking somewhat lustful.
"Xiao Wu! Are you alright?"
As soon as he saw her, Tang San stood up to greet her; his face was still bruised, and he had only woken up late last night.
"I'm fine!"
Xiao Wu responded coldly, not looking at him again, and went with Ning Rongrong and the other girl to get food.
"Haha… that, huh! Boss Dai, what's this?" Tang San gave a strained laugh and was about to follow them when he suddenly noticed Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, who had just entered.
"Tang San, come help out. Little Ao! Hurry up and make a few Sausages, the dead Fatty is almost done for!"
Dai Mubai didn't answer Tang San immediately, but instead told him to come help him support Ma Hongjun onto a stool, and then shouted at Oscar.
"Damn! Fatty, what happened to you? You've gotten so much fatter again?"
Oscar looked at him in surprise, but his hands were quick, and he had already produced two meat Sausages, one large and one small.
"Little Ao… you, are you asking for a beating?"
Ma Hongjun's twisted face squirmed, and his voice was a bit muffled.
"Hehe… just kidding. Speaking of which, who beat you up like this? Do you want Boss Dai and me to get revenge for you!?"
Oscar stuffed the Sausage into his mouth, not forgetting to ask about the source of his injuries.
"I can help too!"
After listening to their conversation, Tang San also realized that this Fatty should be one of his classmates.
Since his classmate was beaten, Tang San naturally had to help out.
Dai Mubai gave a wry smile and was about to explain when a clear voice rang out in their ears.
"What? Are you going to seek revenge on the three of us?"
Xiao Wu, who was getting food, turned her head to look at them, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed.
"Hmph! If you want to come, just come, my Xiao Wu Jie has never been afraid of anyone!"
After speaking, she ignored them.
She quickly followed Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing's footsteps, afraid of missing anything.
Feeling Xiao Wu's gaze pierce him, Ma Hongjun's body trembled. If Dai Mubai hadn't arrived in time, he would have almost been completely incapacitated!
"Uh, Fatty, were you beaten by them? You didn't try anything with them, did you?" Oscar pointed in the direction of Xiao Wu and the other two, his face showing a strange expression.
Ma Hongjun quickly nodded, still with lingering fear in his eyes.
"It was them…"
"Hmm? Boss Dai, what's going on?" Tang San frowned. Since it concerned Xiao Wu, he didn't dare to mention revenge anymore.
"This is all a misunderstanding. It's like this…" Dai Mubai explained to Oscar and Tang San, and also introduced the Fatty.
"So that's how it is." Tang San looked strangely at the three seniors in front of him.
The three of them each had their own characteristics, and each was stranger than the last.
One with evil eyes, handsome and promiscuous; one with a lewd Spirit Incantation and abundant hair; one with evil fire burning within, unable to stop himself.
As expected of an academy that only accepts monsters!
Tang San's eyes lit up slightly; he didn't feel the slightest discomfort, but rather as if he had found a sense of belonging.
After all, didn't he himself possess decades of memories from his previous life, as well as Hidden Weapons and cultivation methods?
"Oh right, from now on, you can also call me Boss Dai, just like Fatty and the others! Calling me Boss Dai is too formal. How about I call you Little San from now on?"
After explaining what had just happened, Dai Mubai fulfilled his duty as a senior.
To build good relationships with his classmates!
"Mm, of course, no problem!" Tang San nodded, indicating he had no objections.
Afterward, seeing that the Fatty could move freely again, the few of them dispersed and went to get their own food.
Shrek's cafeteria only hired some villagers to cook, and the food wasn't great; it mainly focused on being large in quantity and filling.
There was only one rectangular large table in the middle.
The seven people sat around the table, with a good distance between the boys and the girls.
Zhu Zhuqing sat between Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu, and the two of them kept watching her movements.
Whatever she ate, the other two immediately followed suit.
Zhu Zhuqing's small face was flushed, and she lowered her head, not knowing how to chew the food in her mouth anymore.
"Xiao Wu… you, why are you two staring at me?"
Unable to bear being watched by the two of them any longer, Zhu Zhuqing frowned and looked at Xiao Wu.
"It, it was Rongrong's idea. She said that if we eat like you, we might grow faster…"
Xiao Wu's face also showed some embarrassment.
"Rongrong!" Zhu Zhuqing turned her head to look at this mischievous girl.
"I can't help it! You won't share any experience with me."
Ning Rongrong pouted; she didn't want to do this either.
But who made a certain someone like big ones?!
"But, but I don't usually eat these things!"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at her resentfully. She had told her long ago that she was naturally gifted, but she just didn't believe it.
And she came up with such a bad idea, making herself uncomfortable with Xiao Wu!
"Ah? You should have said so earlier… This food is terrible, it's not as good as what Miss makes herself! Hmph!"
Ning Rongrong's face fell, and she directly threw down her chopsticks.
The food here was really too poor; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it plain fare.
"Rongrong, aren't you the young Miss of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? You can actually cook?"
After a night of conversation, Xiao Wu also understood what a colossal entity the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was.
She also knew how noble Ning Rongrong's identity was.
"Of course! I specially learned it for Ye Qiu, hehe…"
Ning Rongrong rested her elbows on the table, cupping her face with both hands, smiling softly, and her two jade feet gently swayed.
"…"
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing looked at her meaningfully, rolling their eyes at her helplessly.
Both snorted and ignored her.
It was just that the already unappetizing food on their plates suddenly became a bit sour.
"Wow, Boss Dai! What do you think they're talking about!" Ma Hongjun, who had largely recovered, looked slyly at the girls diagonally opposite him with his small eyes.
Their faces had a hint of red, making them even more beautiful, which made Ma Hongjun involuntarily let out a wolf howl.
"Ouch… Boss Dai, what are you doing?"
Dai Mubai pushed the Fatty next to him with his arm, his evil eyes carrying a warning.
"Fatty! I advise you to behave yourself!"
"Damn! Boss Dai, you're going too far. Even if you're going to make a move again, you should at least leave some broth for your brothers to drink, right?"
Ma Hongjun's tone carried anger, and his voice was not suppressed because of it.
"Fck, can you fcking speak softer!"
Dai Mubai elbowed him again, his gaze turning towards Zhu Zhuqing and the others.
Indeed, Xiao Wu and the others' smiles had disappeared, and they were looking in their direction.
"Disgusting!"
Zhu Zhuqing even cursed openly, her eyes filled with disgust and contempt.
Dai Mubai's face also turned ugly; not only did he feel like he had lost face, but he also felt that they were just talking about that man he didn't know!
"Hehe… I didn't expect Boss Dai, who calls himself a maiden killer, to also suffer a setback! Fatty definitely has no chance!"
Hearing Oscar's voice next to him, Tang San looked at him strangely.
"Oscar, how do you know Ma Hongjun has no chance?"
"Tch, who can't tell? Xiao Wu is yours, Boss Dai seems interested in that cold Zhu Zhuqing, and there's still Ning Rongrong left. With that Fatty's appearance, how could he possibly compete with me?"
"What nonsense are you talking about! When was Xiao Wu mine!?" Tang San's face changed, and he secretly glanced at Xiao Wu, sighing in relief when he saw they weren't reacting.
"Damn! Little Ao… I think you really are asking for a beating?"
"I'm telling you, Fatty, you have to accept reality, I'm just handsomer than you!"
"You brat, hmph!"
Ma Hongjun looked at Oscar angrily, but then immediately deflated. What he said was indeed true; his appearance was indeed not very pleasing.
If he had Dai Mubai and Oscar's seductive faces, he would definitely be more promiscuous than Dai Mubai, who goes on three dates a day!
"Boss Dai, you should still tell us some of the academy's rules!"
Tang San keenly noticed several sharp gazes directed at them and quickly led them to change the subject.
"Alright!" Dai Mubai put away his emotions and began to explain Shrek's rules to Tang San and the new classmates.
"Actually, our Shrek Academy doesn't have any special rules. What's especially important to note is that fornication, rape, and abduction are not allowed, but combat and gambling are encouraged, though they need to be kept in moderation!"
Upon hearing Dai Mubai's words, the three girls, Ning Rongrong, all rolled their eyes.
There seemed to be quite a few lewd people here.
"What about the class schedule?"
"We have ample teaching staff, and only a few students, so there's no fixed class schedule. Instead, it's adjusted according to individual circumstances!"
Facing Tang San's question, Oscar, who was beside him, took over the conversation.
"I see." Tang San nodded, highly satisfied with this approach.
This way, each student could be taught according to their aptitude!
As expected of the school highly recommended by Grandmaster!
Dong, dong, dong!
Outside, a heavy bell rang.
"That's the sound for assembly. Let's go! Follow me." Hearing the bell, Dai Mubai immediately stood up and led everyone to the large training ground.
Xiao Wu and the others immediately followed.
On the training ground, a robust middle-aged man, about fifty years old, was already standing.
He had a rather long face, a protruding chin, and a hooked nose, a typical shoe-horn face.
Wearing a rigid square-framed pair of glasses, even though his eyes were closed at the moment, he still looked a bit cunning.
The few of them stood side by side in front of him.
"Haha… I didn't expect our Shrek Academy to be able to recruit four students this time. Let me introduce myself, I am your dean, Flender, a Beast Spirit Owl, a Level 78 Spirit Saint! I welcome you on behalf of Shrek!"
Flender chuckled twice, opened his eyes, and paced back and forth, introducing himself, his hoarse voice magnetic.
He was very satisfied with their surprised expressions.
When he saw Ning Rongrong's indifferent expression, his steps paused, and a hint of shrewdness appeared in his eyes.
"Today's first lesson is to pay tuition! It's not expensive, one hundred gold coins per year! Mubai, collect their tuition later and hand it over to Teacher Li!"
"Understood, Dean!" Dai Mubai's face showed a respectful expression, clearly very convinced by Flender.
Flender nodded, but then a faint murmur reached his ears.
"Hmph! What kind of class is this…" Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes, muttering softly.
A mere hundred gold coins was nothing to her, just pocket change.
"After paying, Ning Rongrong and Oscar stay behind! The others can leave first and adjust their condition well, because tonight we have a tough battle to fight!"
Seeing Flender pointing at him, Oscar's face also fell, but fortunately, his target of pursuit was also called out to stay.
This was a rare opportunity for them to be alone!
Ma Hongjun said something to Flender, took a money bag from his hand, and rushed off.
His evil fire needed to be dealt with promptly.
After Xiao Wu and the other girl exchanged a few words with Ning Rongrong, they also left.
Dai Mubai looked at Zhu Zhuqing's back, his face fluctuating between clear and cloudy, and decided to deliver the money first before going to find her.
Only Tang San remained standing in place; Grandmaster had something he wanted him to hand over to Flender.
Flender didn't mind Tang San, who was standing to the side, as he wasn't doing anything shady anyway.
Looking at Ning Rongrong and Oscar in front of him, and being eloquent and having inherited some of Yu Xiaogang's teachings, he began to lecture at length.
"Everyone's Spirit on the continent is different. What the academy will teach you is not how to cultivate, but how to better use your Spirit, how to better exert its abilities…"
"Support-type Spirit Master…"
Ultimately, Ning Rongrong and Oscar still accepted the physical training of running twenty laps around the village.
Looking at their departing backs, Flender's mouth curved into a somewhat cunning smile.
As an academy that only accepts monsters,
Those students never lacked arrogance and defiance. Having been a dean for so many years, he had considerable experience in disciplining these difficult students.
Wear them down with difficult tasks, coerce them with collective punishment;
Break their pride and belittle them, wound them with isolation from others;
Comfort them with classmates' care, bind them with team Spirit.
This was merely his first step in making Ning Rongrong shed her pride and fully integrate into the group.
Putting away the smile on his face, Flender looked at Tang San.
"Tang San, do you have something?"
"Dean, Teacher instructed me that if I successfully passed the entrance test, I should give you this letter!"
Tang San took out the letter from his Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges and presented it with both hands.
"Hmph! Still so stubborn about saving face!" Flender snorted coldly, took the letter, and directly tore it open to read, a joyful expression gradually appearing on his face.
"Haha… Xiaogang is actually coming to Shrek Academy too! Is he finally not hiding from me anymore?"
"Teacher is also coming to Shrek!?"
Tang San's voice carried surprise.
"That's right!"
"That's great!"
"Alright, you should go and rest up first. Don't get injured tonight!" Flender put the letter in his spirit tool and waved Tang San away.
"Understood! Then Tang San won't bother you anymore!"
Although he was curious about what kind of training they would do tonight, Tang San still retreated as instructed.
Looking at Tang San's retreating figure, Flender's eyes held both relief and complexity.
If it weren't for this disciple showing him the hope of proving himself, he might have been destined to curl up in a forgotten corner of the continent for his entire life!
