A chill crept into Mu Jin's eyes, but she remained composed: "Grandma Zhou, it's none of your business how my students are treated."
She hated Zhou Yi's teaching methods the most.
Harsh and violent, treating students' futures like dirt, only knowing how to weed out the weak, they are not worthy of being teachers.
"Me, pointing fingers?" Zhou Yi roared like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "Your younger brother, Mu Lin, should have been expelled back then because of his mediocre talent. Keeping him around is just a waste of the academy's resources!"
"Zhou Yi!" Mu Jin's eyes widened in fury, and her pent-up anger exploded. "You expelled more than sixty students in just three months of school, stifling the future of young people based on your personal preferences. Is this your way of teaching? All the complaints from the entire academy combined don't even amount to as many as yours alone! If Fan Yu hadn't taken the blame and been scolded for you, you would have been expelled from Shrek Academy long ago!"
"You know nothing! This is elite education!" Zhou Yi's face turned ashen as she glared venomously at Mu Jin. "Do you dare to bet? Let's bet on the class rankings in this freshman assessment. Whoever ranks higher wins!"
Mu Jin's eyes flashed, and she sneered inwardly.
Zhou Yi had no idea that none of the people in her class were Soul Masters, while on her side, there were not only two Soul Masters, Gu Yue and Ning Tian, but also Huo Yuhao, the twin martial soul trump card personally taught by Qian Duoduo. She even mistakenly thought that Huo Yuhao was just an ordinary Soul Master.
New and old grudges, let's settle them all today!
"Let's bet big!" Mu Jin's gaze was sharp as a knife. "If I win, you give me a soul bone, plus a level eight soul tool tailor-made by Fan Yu! If you can't afford to lose, then resign and get out of Shrek Academy!"
Zhou Yi was startled at first, then sneered.
She was convinced that Mu Jin was courting death; a level 16 Soul Master couldn't cause any trouble. "Fine! I agree! If you lose, you'll pack your bags and leave too!"
The two locked eyes, the air thick with tension, and the bet was made. The surrounding teachers all turned to look, but no one dared to intervene.
During a break in the assessment, Ning Tian, concerned about Wu Feng, and the three of them went to District Thirty to watch the battle.
The Wufeng team faced off against a plant-controlling Soul Master. With the Red Dragon Martial Soul infused, they unleashed both Dragon's Fury and Dragon's Fire skills, overwhelming their opponents with a powerful second-ring attack. One player easily and cleanly wiped them out.
The pace of the freshman competition is getting tighter and tighter: the first day is a single match, the second day is two matches each in the morning and afternoon, and the third day is a direct surge to five consecutive matches, a triple test of physical strength, spiritual power and tactics, which can be described as a devilish schedule.
Huo Yuhao's team consistently used Ning Tian's amplification, Gu Yue's crowd control, and Huo Yuhao's instant kill tactics to dominate the entire field, never suffering a defeat.
The record of winning all five battles made a high-profile entrance into the public eye, laying a solid foundation for the formation of the club later on.
But Huo Yuhao always harbored a deep-seated obsession.
The round-robin tournament has ended, and the knockout stage is about to begin. He looked towards Shrek Academy and murmured, "My foolish brother, I hope you're not eliminated early, otherwise this revenge will be pointless."
"Yuhao, what did you say?" Ning Tian sat beside him, her gentle brows furrowing slightly as she keenly sensed the coldness in his tone.
Huo Yuhao instantly suppressed his hostility, replaced by a gentle smile, and turned to look at Gu Yue and Wu Feng in the courtyard: "It's nothing, just a dinner gathering tonight, what would you like to eat?"
"Golden shrimp balls!" Ning Tian blurted out, still concerned about his earlier emotions.
"Almond tofu!" Gu Yue answered instantly, revealing her foodie nature.
Wu Feng scratched his head, looking a little awkward: "I...I want golden shrimp balls too."
Huo Yuhao stood up with a smile and casually made a joke that no one understood: "Alright, I can't eat golden shrimp balls every day. I don't want to end up like Lei Shen of Liyue."
After saying that, he turned and walked into the kitchen, leaving the three people looking bewildered.
He didn't tell Ning Tian about his inner worries: he feared the butterfly effect would affect the plot and prevent Dai Huabin from making it to the elimination rounds.
After all, one of his personal reasons for participating in the freshman competition was to personally teach his bullying half-brother a lesson.

Of the final 150 teams, the top 64 will advance to the final elimination round.
The following day, when they arrived in District 33, they were surprised to find two brand new teams and six unfamiliar faces.
Seeing that all six teams had arrived, Wang Yan nodded and said, "The first match of the first round of the third day of the freshman assessment is Huo Yuhao's team versus Xie Huanyue's team."
"Huo Yuhao, Class 9, Freshmen."
"Class 9, freshmen, Gu Yue."
"Ning Tian, Class 9, Freshmen"
Huo Yuhao looked at the three people walking towards him. One of them was Xie Huanyue, who was as fat as a small mountain, and the other two were Luo Tianlong and Luo Tianba, who were slender but had excessively long arms. They were a pair of brothers.
"Class Two of Freshmen, Evil Illusion Moon."
"Luo Tianlong, Class 2 of Freshmen."
"Luo Tianba, Class 2 of Freshmen."
Seeing that both sides were ready, Wang Yan immediately said, "The assessment begins!"
Wang Yan announced the start of the assessment, his figure suddenly darting towards the audience, his eyes filled with impatient excitement.
He was going to report Huo Yuhao's earth-shattering secret to Elder Xuan!
In a corner of the stands, Xuanzi was gnawing on a greasy chicken leg, his clothes stained with oil, looking nonchalant and carefree.
Wang Yan strode forward, his voice low but unable to hide his excitement: "Elder Xuan! I have repeatedly investigated and confirmed that Huo Yuhao possesses twin martial souls, and moreover, he is a spiritual-type body martial soul awakener! His Heavenly Eye is a spiritual-type body martial soul that is one in ten thousand!"
The original spirit is invincible among spirits of the same rank, except for the ultimate spirit, and it is the only spirit that can undergo a second awakening! (Tang San is an exception; no one in Douluo Continent knows that Tang San had a second awakening.)
Xuanzi paused in his chicken leg-eating, glancing sideways at Huo Yuhao on the stage, a disdainful smirk playing on his lips. He cursed inwardly: This kid abandons the orthodox martial soul system and insists on using the unorthodox path of soul tools. He's born evil and has gone astray; it's a path to his own demise!
“He will never join the Martial Soul System.” Xuanzi said calmly, his tone both firm and disdainful. “There’s no need to waste energy. You might as well take a look at those two girls and the boy from the White Tiger family.”
"Pfft—" Wang Yan's CPU went cold on the spot, his eyes widened and his tongue tied in knots, "W-why? Elder Xuan, that's a genius with twin martial souls and a true martial soul, a genius that only appears once in ten thousand years!"
"Heh, just a born evil brat." Xuanzi spat, full of impatience. "Alright, I know about this. Say no more."
Before he finished speaking, he vanished in a flash, leaving Wang Yan standing there, his face full of astonishment and resentment.
On stage, the battle erupted with zero delay!
"Martial Soul Possession!"
With a thunderous roar, Xie Huanyue's Pipi Elephant Martial Soul fully awakened, causing his body to swell rapidly. His dark, rough elephant hide covered his entire body, and his first Soul Skill, Elephant Body Expansion, was activated instantly. His size doubled, transforming him into a rampaging meatball tank, doubling his defense and impact power!
"Silver Blade Mantis, Possession!" The Luo brothers simultaneously awakened their martial souls, their forearms transforming into gleaming mantis blades, sharpened with a cold light. "Second Soul Skill—Shadow Strike!"
"First Soul Skill – Armor-Cracking Blade!"
Luo Tianlong teleported forward, unleashing a high-speed blade wind slash that cut through everything in its path; Luo Tianba followed closely behind, his mantis blade aimed directly at Ning Tian, the weak support. The two brothers' pincer attack was now complete, and with Xie Huanyue's front-line crushing force, their tactics were virtually flawless!
"Quickly!" Huo Yuhao's eyes sharpened, and he unleashed his first soul skill, "Heaven's Ultimate," which grants him complete clarity of all phenomena!
A ten-mile-long, unobstructed field of vision instantly covered the entire area, and the flow of elemental particles and the trajectory of soul power were all imprinted into Huo Yuhao's mind!
"Seven Treasures Transform into Glazed Tile!" Ning Tian reacted with lightning speed, and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda burst into golden light. "First, speed! Third, power!"
A 50% speed boost and a 30% strength boost buff instantly enveloped the teammates!
"First Soul Skill—Elemental Tide!" Gu Yue's fingertips trembled slightly, and a pale blue elemental halo swept around her, maximizing her elemental affinity. The power of subsequent soul skills increased by 40%!
"Second Soul Skill – Elemental Control – Ice Wall Suppression!"
The three ice walls were not a complete encirclement, but rather a diagonal blocking and interception, precisely blocking the Luo brothers' teleportation landing point. The armor-cracking blade slammed into the ice walls, scattering ice shards everywhere, and the attack rhythm was directly cut off!
"Innate Soul Skill: Annihilation!"
Huo Yuhao's Heavenly Eye flashed with golden light, and his ultimate spiritual power, like an invisible lightning blade, pierced straight into the Luo brothers' spiritual sea!
The mental shock erupted without warning. The two brothers' minds exploded, their bodies suddenly stiffened, and their teleportation and slashing were all interrupted, leaving them in a fatal 0.5-second mental stiffness!
"Elephant Fury!" Seeing his teammate controlled, Xie Huanyue unleashed his third soul skill, Elephant Fury, enveloping himself in purple light. The elephant's hooves stomped on the earth, causing rocks to crumble, and it charged savagely towards Gu Yue, attempting to crush him with its physical body and break the stalemate!
"Elemental Fusion – Quicksand Forest!"
Gu Yue's eyes turned cold. The earth and wood elements merged perfectly, and the ground of the assessment platform instantly turned into flowing sand. Black rock-colored vines broke through the soil and tightly wrapped around Xie Huanyue's elephant legs like iron chains, pinning this fleshy war machine firmly to the spot!
The decisive moment has arrived!
In an instant, the Azure Emperor Bow of Fate appeared in Huo Yuhao's palm. The bow without strings drew upon the silvery light of the Milky Way, and three white-gold arrows were drawn to the full moon, precisely locking onto the three people's weaknesses!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Three cyan-gold light arrows shot out from the sky, their sonic booms sharp and piercing, ignoring the thick elephant hide of the Pipi Elephant and the blocking and defense of the Mantis Blade, accurately hitting the non-fatal flaws!
"Ugh!"
The evil moon elephant's legs buckled, and the force of its violent collision instantly dissipated; the Luo brothers froze and fell to the ground, their mantis blades flying out of their hands.
The entire fight lasted no more than ten seconds, and then it came to an abrupt end!
"Huo Yuhao's team wins!"
Wang Yan's voice trembled with disbelief!
The audience erupted in uproar; all the freshmen were stunned.
The level 31 Soul Master Pipi Elephant + Twin Agile Attack, a top-tier front-line assault combination among the new students, couldn't even last ten seconds?
That seemingly weakest level 16 Soul Master is actually the core of the real killing move!
Huo Yuhao put away the Emperor Bow, his Heavenly Eye slightly closed, his tone calm and even, and thought to himself: "A human tank encountering elemental crowd control + mental annihilation is a complete matchup, no doubt about it."
Wang Yan watched the three figures disappear into the distance, the shock in his eyes growing ever stronger.
Elder Xuan didn't recognize a gem; this young man is destined to overturn the entire Shrek Academy's understanding!
