Douluo Continent: When Huo Yuhao Becomes the Lord of the End

Chapter 179 Xuanzi: This child has a wicked heart!
After a long period of wasting time, Wang Dong finally could no longer tolerate Shrek Academy and decided to drop out.

That's right, she dropped out of school; she'd really had enough of being there.

She has almost forgotten why she came to Shrek Academy in the first place!
Is it all just to squeeze into the toilet every day, to endure those useless training sessions every day?

She is the little princess of the Clear Sky Sect. The Clear Sky Sect has everything Shrek Academy teaches, and it also has things that Shrek Academy doesn't have. So why should she come here to suffer like this?

As for using Shrek Academy as a platform to make friends and build connections like Ning Tian and others, there's no need, really no need to know.

She now feels that the three years she spent at Shrek Academy were the most boring three years of her life.

She only made one friend, Xiao Xiao, and was tricked by Shrek Academy so many times, almost dying there several times. If she hadn't been lucky, she would be dead by now.

Even after his twin martial souls were exposed after the last competition, he and Xiao Xiao never received serious training from Shrek Academy.

No, they have twin martial souls. Why didn't Shrek Academy have any higher-ups mentor them from beginning to end? Could it really be like what many senior students said, that the academy adopts an absolute laissez-faire policy towards non-inner court disciples?

This is just too ridiculous. As for the claim that Shrek Academy doesn't have enough resources, that's absolutely a lie to fools.

"Wang Dong, are you really going to drop out of Shrek Academy?"

"We'll be able to enter the inner academy in a few years, and we're still known as the Shrek Seven Devils. Is this really a good idea?"

Xiao Xiao pouted, completely puzzled by Wang Dong's decision.

After Wang Dong revealed his identity and gender, she stopped pursuing him.

It's laughable, really. Why would a perfectly respectable young sect leader of the Haotian Sect have to dress up as a boy to attend Shrek Academy? At first, she even lived in the boys' dormitory and beat up her roommate. Was that really necessary?

Fortunately, this identity was exposed after the All-Continent Soul Master Academy Tournament; otherwise, he would definitely have stumbled on Wang Dong and might have caused a great deal of trouble.

I am not a lesbian, and even Wang Dong would absolutely not accept such a thing.

"The Shrek Seven Devils?" Wang Dong scoffed disdainfully. "Xiao Xiao, think about it carefully. After obtaining this title, have we really received any substantial rewards?"

"Putting everything else aside, two years ago I fought tooth and nail for the honor of the academy in the competition, but what was the result? When I came back, the academy not only didn't offer any consolation, but they also gave us all a major demerit."

"Xiao Xiao, why should I stay in an academy like this?"

It has to be said that Wang Dong has become more and more normal since the last incident with the evil spirit master.

She has come to live her own life, instead of the one before, who seemed like a puppet being manipulated by an invisible hand.

Wang Dong looked at Xiao Xiao seriously and said solemnly.

"Xiao Xiao, you know the rules of the inner academy. After joining the inner academy, the disciples will be assigned to the inspection team to clean up evil soul masters on the continent."

"But why is it that I got nothing from the academy, and why should I risk my future to work for the academy?"

"We all saw the consequences of the deaths and injuries of our seniors. The compensation the academy offered wasn't even worth the value of a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone. What did the students get after they died? A false title of dying to uphold Shrek's glory."

"Sigh, what a terrible college."

"."

Seeing that Wang Dong was getting more and more agitated, Xiao Xiao had no choice but to cover Wang Dong's mouth in a panic.

She did not make it into the academy's reserve team in the last All-Continent Soul Master Academy Tournament for some reason.

However, they still knew very well what had happened at that time. Dai Huabin was dead, and all the former seniors of the Shrek Seven Devils were dead, and some were missing. Only Senior Ling Luochen was left, who was saddened every day in the inner courtyard. Even Senior Xu Sanshi's martial soul was shattered, and he was now a cripple.

To be honest, although I'm reluctant to admit it, the academy hasn't really provided them with any substantial training programs.

Leaving aside elixirs and cultivation resources—things that should be available—the academy can't even guarantee the most basic cultivation environment.

They are the Shrek Seven Devils, the core disciples of the academy. Although the title was given to them because of the tragedy that happened to the previous Shrek Seven Devils, they can already be considered the future generation of the academy.

In the end, they got nothing. The academy was focused on acquiring spirit rings, and sometimes even the teachers didn't care. They had to figure out their own methods.

Given this situation, does the academy truly deserve the title of the best in mainland China?

Remembering the rumors that had been circulating but were forbidden from spreading by the academy—the things that happened during the last competition—Xiao Xiao's dissatisfaction and emotions towards Shrek Academy became almost identical to Wang Dong's. "Okay, Wang Dong, if you really have a way to drop out of the academy, I'll go with you."

Come with me?
Wang Dong was stunned. "Hey sis, I'm going back to Haotian Sect. What's with you coming with me? Are you going to join Haotian Sect too?"

If Xiao Xiao knew what Wang Dong was thinking at this moment, she might actually nod in agreement.

After all, although he was born into a minor noble family, his family had long since declined, and his parents had died in that beast tide. Now, he was more in a state of taking things as they came.

If following Wang Dong can secure a brighter future for oneself, then why not leave Shrek Academy?

"OK then"

Wang Dong was caught in a dilemma because she didn't think she could successfully drop out of Shrek Academy, since she carried the Shrek name on her shoulders.

The dean and his colleagues valued this title above all else, yet he voluntarily withdrew, which might even alienate the higher-ups.

And the truth was just as Wang Dong had thought; she couldn't possibly leave Shrek Academy so easily.

Shrek Academy might easily expel those Soul Masters with mediocre talent, just like Zhou Yi did.

However, when it comes to someone like Wang Dong, who possesses exceptional talent and has a powerful background, Shrek Academy has many more things to consider.

Therefore, after Wang Dong approached Yan Shaozhe and expressed his desire to drop out of school, Yan Shaozhe quickly lowered his stance and had to offer many incentives in an attempt to keep Wang Dong there.

They even started playing the friendship card, using their friendship as classmates to gradually break down Wang Dong's originally firm inner defenses.

There's no way around it, Shrek Academy is really in decline now. The previous generation of Shrek Seven Devils has been wiped out, and the current generation of Shrek Seven Devils can't even gather seven people. If Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao withdraw, what will happen to the next All-Continent Soul Master Competition?
Therefore, even if Wang Dong really wants to drop out of school, it will have to wait until the next All-Continent Soul Master Competition three years from now.

Has Shrek really fallen to this level?
Inside the Golden Ancient Tree, Wang Dong, for some reason, suddenly wavered and inexplicably agreed to Yan Shaozhe's request. However, he received many benefits, such as subsequent cultivation resources and the right to use the secret chamber inside the Golden Ancient Tree.

After Wang Dong left, Xuanzi munched on a chicken leg, watching his retreating figure and letting out a cold snort.

"These kids are getting more and more cunning these days. They even know how to use their leverage to blackmail the academy."

"This child has a wicked heart!"

Clearly, our Chicken Leg Douluo is using Wang Dong's appearance as a way to increase his leverage.

He was still so clever, judging a person's future in just a few words, attributing all his actions to evil intentions, a judgment no less powerful than the original line, which described Huo Yuhao as "unworthy of being made."

Yan Shaozhe raised his hand, but ultimately remained silent.

He wanted to say that last time this little guy almost died at the hands of an evil spirit master for the honor of the academy, and he also did his best in the competition. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to give him such a evaluation now?

As if he could read Yan Shaozhe's mind, Xuanzi took a sip of wine and explained.

"Sometimes when judging a person or a thing, don't look at what they said or did, but look at what they did in a specific situation."

"The academy is facing increasingly difficult times, and this little guy is trying to leave the academy at this time. Isn't that a betrayal of Shrek Academy?"

"Haotian Sect? So what if they're Haotian Sect? They get dissatisfied over the slightest injustice and are eager to distance themselves from the academy. The academy doesn't need students like that."

It was simple to say, but Yan Shaozhe still didn't refute it.

Because he knew that in the heart of the old man Xuanzi, the academy should not spend a lot of resources to train students; on the contrary, students should give back to the academy.

When Elder Mu was alive, he rejected this idea more than once, but now this person is the true master of the Sea God Pavilion at Shrek Academy.
Sighing inwardly, Yan Shaozhe felt immense pressure. The situation on the mainland was becoming increasingly tense, yet Elder Xuan acted as if nothing was wrong. He wondered where the academy would go in the future.

Compared to Wang Dong, who inexplicably changed his mind after entering the Golden Tree, Su Tong, a genius soul master who was not valued by Shrek Academy and was previously dragged by Xuanzi to increase the number of people, left Shrek Academy without notifying anyone.

She didn't know where she should go, but feeling her ice attribute, which hadn't changed in the previous ten years but was now inexplicably stronger, she felt that she should go see the world further north.

Moreover, she always harbored curiosity about certain things, especially about a certain person.

She felt she should meet him and ask him some questions.
