While Lili was jumping around with his transformed lower body—
Back at Shrek Academy.
Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing had already passed the test, thanks to Flender interfering and stopping Zhao Wuji from rigging the evaluation against the future students of Shrek.
All that remained was to defeat Oscar and Dai Mubai.
So basically, it was 4 vs 2.
Well, the result was obvious.
You want a fight scene?
Here's a one-second fight scene.
♤
"Just follow the plan and we'll win this without breaking a sweat," Tang San said as he released his Blue Silver Grass.
"What? No need for teamwork. I can defeat them myself," Xiao Wu said confidently as she activated her soul power, a pink aura covering her body.
"Well… hurry up. I want to get some snacks," Ning Rongrong said impatiently, already summoning her Seven Treasure Pagoda.
Zhu Zhuqing didn't say anything.
Her sharp gaze was locked onto the blonde man in front of her.
She didn't need to chase anyone.
She wasn't some lost cat looking for a place to stay.
She had already found it.
Not just her place—but her true strength, and her true fate.
A path only she could decide.
Zhu Zhuqing cracked her neck to the right and summoned her black claws. Her soul power surged, releasing a dangerous presence that filled the area.
Dai Mubai and Oscar gulped.
They both knew they were outnumbered—and outmatched.
Dai Mubai was a match-level fighter, but that only meant Oscar would be overwhelmed immediately. Dai Mubai already knew what Tang San and Xiao Wu were capable of, and with the Seven Treasure Pagoda's support, defeat was guaranteed.
The spirit energy around them surged, growing unstable.
But before anything could erupt—
CLAP.
The sound echoed with a burst of wind pressure.
Everyone turned toward Flender.
"Now, now. No need to do the assessment," Flender said calmly. "You are all considered passed."
"Hahaha! Welcome to Shrek Academy.
. Oscar ! Dai Mubai !.
Go and guide them to our dorms and explain the rest while your at it.."
"But be prepared. Tomorrow, you're going to have a big fight," he added with a grin.
"Hahaha! And I'll warn you—if you bore her, consider yourselves nonexistent. Like ants in front of her."
"Hahaha…"
"Go on. Take a rest."
"Oh—and don't forget to pay your tuition fees. Just 100 gold coins. I'll collect it tomorrow."
"Vice Dean, take it from here. I need to prepare something."
♤
And that was the almost-fight—the one-second fight scene.
Tang San stared at Flender's back as he left.
"That's it? I think we passed."
"What? But I wanted to beat them—especially that lustful tiger," Xiao Wu pouted.
"Better than wasting time," Ning Rongrong said as she unsummoned her Pagoda.
Zhu Zhuqing merely scoffed. "Consider yourself lucky," she muttered.
"Ahem."
Zhao Wuji coughed.
"Well, you all passed the very first test the moment you met the requirements. The other tests were meant to measure your capabilities—reaction time, coordination, and combat ability."
"But I guess Flender saw that you're all already prepared," he continued. "Whether it's trading punches or not. Like he said, you'll be fighting someone tomorrow, so we only came to assess your combat experience and how we can teach you to further improve your skills."
"That's it, brats. Go follow Mubai and Oscar. They'll guide you."
After saying those words, and acting like he had suddenly become a scholar, Zhao Wuji jumped away toward his cave—
I mean, his dwelling place.
Dai Mubai and Oscar were both thankful to the Dean for the save. Come on—who would want to fight when you already knew you were going to lose and embarrass yourself?
"I think that's it. Come, follow me. We'll give you a little tour," Dai Mubai said, stealing glances at Zhu Zhuqing.
"I think Tang San and I should be roommates," Oscar added.
♤
The four new students of Shrek then followed the lead of Dai Mubai and Oscar.
Far away from Shrek, deep within the forest, Lili was sitting on the grass pond, eating some cooked meat he had bought from the system shop. After remaining in his spider hybrid form for one hour, he canceled it.
Soon after, hunger began to grow stronger, so he bought some food to fill his stomach. While eating, he checked the reward he had received earlier.

Lili muttered to himself, "Hmm… 20 R.P. Shakky, did you know that I love you? Even in your younger years—and even now."
Maybe he was acting close for more benefits or a better roll. His expression, however, remained the same lifeless, flat look as always.
[Oh… I'm jealous.]
…
…
Lili struck while the iron was still hot.
"Shakky, make ten rolls."
