Freshman Dormitory 108.
At this moment, Tang Feng still showed no signs of waking up.
The life aura surrounding his body grew increasingly dense—
to the point where it faintly resonated with the Golden Tree.
The Golden Tree's Extreme Life energy slowly circulated within Tang Feng's body.
Although Tang Feng possessed Extreme Healing, his understanding of life itself was still rather shallow.
It was like a powerful skill—
He could wield it to tremendous effect, yet he didn't fully comprehend the principles behind it.
Right now, the Golden Tree was helping Tang Feng understand the true essence of life.
"This kid's fortune is incredible."
Mu En was filled with envy.
Inside his body remained a Dragon Core that had never been fully purged, still saturated with violent energy.
Otherwise, Mu En would not have ended up in his current state after breaking through back then.
Now look at Tang Feng—
On his very first day at Shrek Academy, he had already gained the favor of the Golden Tree.
The night before, while cultivating,
Tang Feng had accidentally triggered a resonance with the Golden Tree using his Life Blue Silver Grass.
In response, the Golden Tree had proactively released its origin aura, assisting Tang Feng in comprehending the Dao of Life.
"Little one, don't disturb him while he's comprehending the Dao."
Mu En spoke as he saw Wang Dong rushing over.
States of enlightenment like this were once-in-a-thousand-years opportunities.
If interrupted, even lovers could become mortal enemies.
"Grandpa, but Teacher Zhou told Tang Feng to attend class—or he'll be expelled."
Wang Dong was caught in a dilemma.
If she didn't wake Tang Feng, Teacher Zhou might really expel him.
Though they had only known each other for a day,
Tang Feng's strength had already earned Wang Dong's recognition.
"He won't be expelled."
"You can go back to class with peace of mind."
Mu En waved his hand dismissively.
Teacher Zhou, Teacher Yang—
Mu En didn't care in the slightest.
Within Shrek Academy,
was there really anyone with greater authority than him?
"Alright…"
Wang Dong turned around and left.
This "freshman dorm caretaker" clearly wasn't simple.
After all, Teacher Zhou's records showed Tang Feng as a Level 31 Soul Elder.
Yet this old man had told her yesterday that Tang Feng was a Level 43 healing-system Soul Ancestor.
A twelve-year-old Soul Ancestor—
expelled just like that from Shrek Academy?
Then this trash academy wasn't worth staying in at all.
She'd just haul Tang Feng back to the Clear Sky Sect.
At that point, she'd make him clean every day—
spotless, without a single speck of dust.
When Wang Dong returned to the training field,
she relayed Mu En's words to Teacher Zhou verbatim.
"This is outrageous—absolutely outrageous!"
"A freshman skipping class is bad enough, but now even the dorm caretaker dares to stop a teacher from calling students?!"
"Do you think Shrek Academy belongs to you?!"
Zhou Yi flew into a rage.
She had never imagined things would turn out like this.
Not only had Tang Feng failed to show up—
She'd also been stonewalled by a mere dorm caretaker.
Since when did a lowly gatekeeper get to interfere with Outer Court teaching affairs?
"What are you still standing there for?"
"You have half a shichen. One hundred laps—not a single one fewer. Miss even one lap, and you're expelled."
Zhou Yi shouted at Wang Dong.
She decided she'd go to the Academic Affairs Office afterward and expel them all as a warning.
Did these people really think Shrek Academy's authority was just for show?
Some people loved to play clever tricks—
thinking she wouldn't notice if they ran a few laps less.
As for that Tang Feng—
She couldn't even be bothered to see him.
At the end of the day, he was just a healing Soul Master.
At Shrek Academy,
his value was nowhere near that of a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master.
Even the Nine Heart Begonia couldn't compare to the Seven Treasure Pagoda—
let alone a Blue Silver Grass walking an unorthodox healing path.
Wang Dong suppressed her anger and started running.
Others had a full shichen to complete their hundred laps—
She had only half a shichen.
Panting heavily, she barely completed all one hundred laps right at the time limit.
"I'm exhausted…"
Wang Dong bent over, gasping for breath.
With a full shichen, she could've finished easily.
This Teacher Zhou really wasn't human—
treating her like someone from the Sun Moon Empire.
"Those whose names I call, step forward."
"Cheng Cheng, Qiu Jianrao, Tang Dao, Shangguan Chentian, Lin Zeyu, Zhuge Yun, Tai Long, Tang Ling, Yun Xiaopiao."
"And Tang Feng, who skipped class."
"You ten—pack your belongings. Starting tomorrow, you are no longer students of Shrek Academy."
Zhou Yi announced coldly.
Even Tang Feng, who hadn't attended class at all, was added to the list.
She wanted to expel these loafers publicly—
as a lesson to everyone else.
More than that, she planned to confront Du Weilun personally.
Since when did a dorm caretaker get to interfere with her teaching?
She wanted to see—
whether the person she insisted on expelling could really be protected by a mere caretaker.
If so,
She'd have the caretaker replaced as well.
Positions at Shrek Academy were scarce.
If you couldn't do your job properly, plenty of people were waiting to take your place.
Mu En: So you want me gone?
Martial Soul Department — Academic Affairs Office
Du Weilun stared at the list on his desk, his expression darkening.
Ten students were expelled on the very first day of school.
Among them was even a healing-system Soul Elder recommended from Star Luo City.
"This Zhou Yi causes trouble every single day."
"And now she's even offended the dorm caretaker—wants him expelled too?"
Du Weilun felt a headache coming on.
This time, he had to go talk to Fan Yu—
At the very least, he needed to squeeze out a soul tool as compensation.
All these years, cleaning up Zhou Yi's messes had always fallen on him.
Expelling students from small regions was one thing—
But now she was casually expelling a Soul Elder sent from Star Luo City.
When Star Luo demanded an explanation,
guess who would have to deal with it?
As for the dorm caretaker—
The old man had simply protected a student.
And just for going against her wishes, she wanted him expelled, too?
"I really am cursed with hard labor…"
Du Weilun felt miserable.
His talent was average at best.
Being Director of Academic Affairs was probably the peak of his career.
Fan Yu, on the other hand, was different.
He had a real chance to become Vice Dean of the Soul Tool Department—
even a member of the Sea God Pavilion someday.
That was precisely why,
despite Zhou Yi expelling countless students every year,
Du Weilun always cleaned up after her.
Two shichen later—
Du Weilun returned from the Soul Tool Department with a smile on his face.
As long as Fan Yu paid the price,
even students from Star Luo City could be expelled.
If things really got out of hand—
He'd just throw Zhou Yi under the bus.
After all, he was just the errand runner.
Freshman Dormitory 108
Tang Feng slowly woke up, vitality overflowing throughout his body.
Though his enlightenment had lasted only one day,
it felt as though an entire year had passed.
"So comfortable!"
"My soul power increased by another level."
Tang Feng stretched lazily.
He had only recently absorbed a soul ring, reaching Level 43.
Yet less than half a month later, his cultivation had advanced again—
one step closer to Level 60.
"And you're still in the mood to laugh?"
"I couldn't get leave approved today. Teacher Zhou expelled you for skipping class."
"She told you to pack your things—you'll be leaving Shrek Academy tomorrow."
Wang Dong was clearly unhappy.
She was convinced Zhou Yi was menopausal—
a complete lunatic.
Expelling one-tenth of the students on the very first day—
Only Zhou Yi could pull that off.
"I'll just transfer to another class."
Tang Feng didn't care in the slightest.
He had been sent by the Star Luo Royal Family.
There was no way he'd be sent back on his first day.
That would be slapping Xu Jiawei's face—
grinding the dignity of the Star Luo Imperial Family into the dirt.The leadership of Shrek Academy couldn't possibly be that stupid.
