I am the son of the Dragon God in Douluo Continent.

After Xu Xingyu uttered the words "Purple Star God Shield," a circular, purple-gold shield appeared without warning and trapped Xu Sanshi, who was already at full power.

Xu Sanshi did not stop his attack. Instead, he raised his tortoise-shell shield and smashed it against the protective barrier that was trapping him. Unexpectedly, the moment his shield touched the barrier, a powerful recoil force bounced Xu Sanshi's attack back at him.

Having passively endured the attack he himself had launched, Xu Sanshi adjusted his stance and stubbornly tried to force his way through, but no matter how he used his soul skills, he could not break through the barrier that trapped him.

Instead, he suffered considerable injuries due to the unique rebound properties of the shield. After about a minute, seeing that Xu Sanshi was still trapped, the examiner had no choice but to stop the assessment and announced that Xu Xingyu was the winner.

This result surprised the examiners. After all, Xu Sanshi was one of the best senior students at Shrek Academy. As a student from Shrek, his combat strength was much stronger than that of his peers from other places.

Therefore, although Xu Xingyu was a Soul Master like Xu Sanshi, the examiners still thought Xu Xingyu's chances of winning were low. Unexpectedly, Xu Xingyu subdued Xu Sanshi with just one move.

Based solely on the move that Xu Xingyu used to trap Xu Sanshi, the examiners could clearly determine that the opponent was a top-tier control-type Soul Master, and even among control-type Soul Masters, his talent was top-notch.

As long as he receives excellent training from Shrek Academy, his future is limitless!

The freshman named Xu Xingyu in front of us must be given special attention and investigated. As long as his identity is not in question, he will definitely receive high attention from Shrek Academy!

After handing Xu Xingyu the freshman uniform and room key, the examiner quickly left, intending to inform the Shrek Academy leadership about the freshman named Xu Xingyu.

After watching the examiner's departing figure, Xu Xingyu realized that the teacher had left in too much of a hurry and hadn't told her the location of the dormitory. Therefore, Xu Xingyu could only turn to Xu Sanshi, who was still trapped in the Purple Star God Shield.

Xu Xingyu snapped her fingers, and the Ziwei Star God Shield that had previously trapped Xu Sanshi was released, causing Xu Sanshi to fall to the ground with a thud.

"Ouch! Xu Xingyu, that move of yours was too underhanded!" Xu Sanshi touched the injuries he sustained from the rebound and sighed helplessly, "I feel like my entire skeleton is about to collapse."

Hearing this, Xu Xingyu put on a deadpan face and said, "Alright, you're not some three-year-old kid, are you? Although your attack was strong before and the rebound you received was also strong, you are ultimately a defensive soul master. That little bit of recoil only made you feel a little pain."

"You make it sound so easy. Try being suddenly trapped in a small space where you can't even stretch your arms and legs freely. Just wearing that mask would easily trigger an attack in people with claustrophobia."

"Alright, alright, let's not discuss this trivial matter. Xu Sanshi, do you know which way to the dormitory?"

Upon hearing Xu Xingyu's question, Xu Sanshi dropped his joking demeanor and confidently declared that he could guide her, but first he would need to see which class Xu Xingyu was assigned to.

Soon, led by Xu Sanshi, the two arrived at Shrek Academy's school notice board. There, Xu Xingyu learned that she was a student in Class 9 of the freshmen, and her homeroom teacher's name was Mu Jin.

Xu Xingyu vaguely remembered this person from the original novel; he seemed to be the arch-enemy of Huo Yuhao's homeroom teacher, Zhou Yi. Although he was always at odds with Zhou Yi, he was quite responsible towards his students. At least he was much better than the Zhou Yi in the original novel.

Back when Xu Xingyu was still reading the original novel on Earth, she couldn't bring herself to like the character Zhou Yi. It's a fairly common phenomenon that strict teachers produce outstanding students, because only strict teachers can suppress a child's overly active nature and get them to focus on learning the knowledge they need.

The problem is that Zhou Yi, as a teacher, doesn't meet the standard of "strict teachers produce outstanding students" at all; in fact, she doesn't even meet the standard of being a teacher. She would often find trivial reasons to expel students.

But those students are just new to Shrek Academy, and they need time to adjust. We can't just expel them because they made a small mistake or slacked off once.

Besides enhancing a student's abilities and knowledge, school is also a place where students can improve their character. Initially, they may have some minor flaws, but with the guidance of the school and teachers, they have the opportunity to shed their imperfections.

However, Zhou Yi doesn't give those students a chance at all; she expels them as soon as she sees a minor flaw. Unless the student has exceptionally high talent, she won't turn a blind eye.

Why would she do such a thing? It's simple: it would improve her performance. With fewer students in the class, each student would receive more resources, allowing Zhou Yi to help the students improve on their own without having to put in too much effort.

It's no wonder that students who survive under her tutelage are incredibly powerful. Therefore, those students are all very grateful to her, because without those extra resources, they simply couldn't have improved their cultivation so quickly.

However, such education completely fails to provide other students with an equal opportunity to learn, and also neglects the cultivation of students' character. Xu Xingyu believes that students graduating under such education will rarely, if ever, avoid becoming bullies or hypocrites!

Such a teacher is utterly unqualified to teach anyone; it's an insult to the teaching profession. The reason Zhou Yi hasn't been dismissed yet is purely because the students she hasn't dismissed are speaking well of her because they've gained extra resources, and because her husband, Fan Yu, is a high-ranking official in Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department. Otherwise, a normal educational institution would have kicked her out long ago.

Just as Xu Xingyu was secretly complaining about Teacher Zhou Yi in his heart, he suddenly felt a soft touch pressed against his back.

Before he could turn around, a soft, sweet voice appeared in Xu Xingyu's ear: "Guess who I am?"

Xu Xingyu recognized the voice immediately and could vaguely make out a wisp of golden hair. She knew the answer and laughed, "Who else could it be? It can only be my dear Secretary Jiang!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Xingyu turned her head and saw a blonde girl hugging her tightly. This blonde girl was none other than Jiang Nannan, the Mad Rabbit from the original novel.

When Jiang Nannan heard Xu Xingyu's reply, she responded with her own smile, clearly showing that she was also happy to see her again.

Since she asked for leave from the Spirit Tower to study at Shrek Academy, Xu Xingyu left the Heavenly Soul Branch for some reason. This also meant that Jiang Nannan was unable to see her again after returning to the Spirit Tower during her vacation. Therefore, the two did not meet again for two years.

Jiang Nannan took advantage of the fact that she hadn't seen Xu Xingyu for several years to confirm what her feelings for him really were. At first, she only felt gratitude, dependence, and admiration for Xu Xingyu.

After all, he not only saved his mother, but also forced those forces that coveted him to submit to him. Few young girls wouldn't be moved by such a prince charming story.

Jiang Nannan felt the same way, but the significant difference in their social status made her unconsciously avoid the relationship. Furthermore, with Xu Xingyu having a lover and fiancée, Jiang Nannan increasingly felt her existence was unnecessary.

But in the two years without Xu Xingyu's company, she found that she could never forget him. At Shrek Academy, she had met many gifted young people, but she couldn't treat them as equals to Xu Xingyu.

Finally, after hearing a few words from her teacher Zi Ji from the Spirit Tower, Jiang Nannan finally realized her feelings for Xu Xingyu.

Jiang Nannan felt not only gratitude, dependence, and respect for him, but also deep affection for this younger boy. He saved her when she was at her lowest point, and he gave her the opportunity to witness the birth of a new era.

Therefore, Jiang Nannan did not want to back down again, so what if he had a lover and a fiancée! She knew that Xu Xingyu had more than one lover! Therefore, Jiang Nannan also wanted to leave her own place in Xu Xingyu's heart.

However, just as Jiang Nannan was about to tell Xu Xingyu about her longing for him, an untimely voice rang out: "Nannan, if you and Xingyu have something going on, can't you talk about it privately? It doesn't seem quite right for you to be all lovey-dovey in a public place like this, does it?"
