After all, only a few outer school disciples died. It was not a big deal. There were many people who wanted to enter Shrek Academy, and they had no shortage of students.
No one expected Mingwei to dare to question, and they all looked at her with suspicion on their faces.
"Teacher Li, I leave it to you."
Even Mingwei's resistance only made them look at her a little more. They didn't care what Mingwei said at all, and they didn't even care about Mingwei as a person.
The group of people left with the senior girl in red, leaving only Teacher Li to clean up the mess.
"This incident was just an accident. To compensate for the shock you received, the academy has decided to reward each of you with a Soul-Upgrading Pill. You should just forget about this incident and don't mention it to anyone else."
Teacher Li gave Mingwei a green pill first, but did not leave. He wanted to wait until Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong woke up before giving them another instruction.
"So this is how the academy handles things. Is this pill compensation or hush money? It's the same thing but with two different purposes, haha."
No one would be able to remain calm after experiencing such a thing. This is an unexpected disaster for them.
Moreover, if they did not have a trump card, if there were only three ordinary freshmen here today, they would have died long ago, and Shrek Academy would have saved itself a lot of trouble.
"I think you probably don't know how precious the Soul-Upgrading Pill is. This pill is worth a ton of gold."
Teacher Li had a kind of superior arrogance, as if Mingwei and others had taken great advantage of him.
Not to mention that the Soul-Upgrading Pill was nothing to Mingwei, even if it was an extremely precious item, their way of dealing with things was not enough to wipe out the resentment in Mingwei's heart.
Mingwei knew that this was caused by the inequality of status.
In her eyes, she and the teachers in the inner courtyard were of equal status, but since Teacher Li and others had been in high positions for a long time, they were simply unable to treat Mingwei equally, which gave Mingwei a feeling of being despised.
"If this is how the Academy handles things, then I think I know what's going on."
Mingwei finally took the pill and made plans to leave Shrek.
Seeing that she understood, Teacher Li's expression eased.
Little did he know that this little girl in front of him whom he had never taken seriously would grow up to be a serious threat to Shrek Academy in the near future.
"You guys should eat something good. I bought you off with just a broken pill. If it weren't for our good luck, we would have almost died just now."
Seeing Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao happily holding the Soul-Upgrading Pills, Ming Wei felt that they were worthless. Still feeling resentful, he made a sarcastic remark.

Chapter 20: Pretty calm, but my heart is cold
"This is not a broken pill. This is a treasure that can increase the soul power of a soul master by one level. It is not much worse than the Xuanshui Pill and is worth a million gold."
Wang Dong said disapprovingly. She didn't care about the danger just now because she didn't face it directly. Isn't it over? It's nothing serious for her. She picked up a soul-raising pill for nothing.
But Huo Yuhao could empathize with Ming Wei more. He knew in his heart that if Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had not intervened, he might have died here. He also could not accept the compensation from the academy.
But what can we do if we don’t accept them?
Are you going to confront the academy head-on and get kicked out?
This is obviously not a wise choice.
The situation forced people to bow their heads. Huo Yuhao took Ming Wei's hand and shook his head at her, hoping that she could calm down.
Mingwei was quite calm, after all, her heart was cold.
"Is that so? I didn't expect it to be so effective. I wonder how much more spiritual power you will gain after taking it."
After saying a few perfunctory words to Wang Dong, the three of them went towards the teaching building.
"That's not right. Why is it so cold today? Why is there frost?"
As he spoke, Wang Dong shook his body slightly. Looking at the large amount of frost flowers, the visual chill struck his whole body.
After entering the teaching building area, you can still feel the cold. There is a thin layer of frost on all objects. The other senior teaching buildings are covered with frost, and their colors are lighter.
"This frost has been processed. The frost just now was even thicker. I don't know who made it."
A classmate responded with a complaint in his voice.
Ming Wei and Huo Yuhao both looked a little embarrassed.
"No, Brother Tianmeng is so powerful? This has affected the entire academy! I hope no one finds out it's me."
"You're still not strong enough. You can't even freeze fourteen continents with one sword. You only froze one Shrek Academy. It's really embarrassing."
Ming Wei was not satisfied with her sword of word spirit. Although that sword overdrew her soul power and consumed a lot of mental energy, it did not achieve the best effect, not even one percent of the effect.
A true sword will freeze the fourteen continents. The entire Douluo Continent will be completely covered in frost. The closer to the sword's intent, the thicker the frost layer and the lower the temperature. All living things can be instantly shattered into ice slag.
Fortunately, today's class was just some theoretical knowledge. After class, Ming Wei did not accompany Huo Yuhao to set up the stall, but went to the library of Shrek Academy.
The purpose of her coming here was just to learn the knowledge of Shrek Academy and to understand this continent better.
There are limited books that freshmen can borrow, but only a few of them caught Mingwei's eye.
"Illustrated Explanation of Soul Beasts", "Brief Analysis of Metals", "Summary of Medicinal Plants".
They respectively introduce some common soul beasts, metals, and medicinal plants. The records are not very complete and can only be used as an introduction, but it is enough for Mingwei to read today.
While she was reading, someone started talking about her.
"This sword energy is unusual. Who is that girl?"
On the island in the middle of the lake, Yan Shaozhe spent some effort to dissolve the frosty sword energy in Ma Xiaotao's body.
"Teacher can't find out their identities?"
Ma Xiaotao had regained consciousness by now. After learning that she had injured three outer courtyard disciples, she felt a little apologetic, but she paid more attention to the frosty sword energy and another extremely cold force.
"We have found out the details of the other two students, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, but we can't find anything about Ming Wei. It's as if she appeared out of thin air."
"Maybe she came from some hidden sect. That trace of sword energy should be a talisman given to her by her family elders. If we can't find out, we won't investigate for now."
Ma Xiaotao said casually, with a sense of letting things take their own course.
But Yan Shaozhe couldn't let go, because Ma Xiaotao's martial soul was flawed, and the evil fire in her body was becoming increasingly uncontrollable. Only the power of ice could save her.
Ming Wei never expected that, because they couldn't find out her identity, Shrek Academy thought she was of great importance and that suppressing Ma Xiaotao was her means.
She just took the blame for Huo Yuhao and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
At this moment, she was still planning to get some materials back first, such as medicinal plants, metals, jade... There were many things she wanted to buy, but she was short of money.
Fortunately, within two days, Beibei sent two hundred gold soul coins and a storage soul guide, which were obtained from the auction of the Void Soul Pill. It was really like a pillow falling asleep.
"But money is really hard to spend! I have to sell pills to make money."
After a small shopping spree, Mingwei felt that her 200 gold soul coins were all used up before she bought anything.
Mingwei bought medicinal plants to make medicine, and after a successful attempt with metals and jade, he chose to use them to engrave magic arrays, mostly for self-defense.
She cherishes her life and wants to wait for that crappy system to find the correct time and space location and then send her back to Blue Star!
"Isn't it just a Soul-raising Pill? It seems like anyone can't make it."
Ming Wei looked at the ten soul-enhancing pills she had just refined. Who would have thought that she only spent less than ten gold soul coins on them? It was truly a huge profit.
This time when selling the Soul-Upgrading Pill, Mingwei did not bother Beibei again. For the time being, she did not want anyone to know that she could refine the Soul-Upgrading Pill.
Instead, he took the opportunity to go out and hunt for spirit rings, disguised himself, and went to several auctions.
After seeing the income of 100,000 gold soul coins, Mingwei finally felt at ease.
After returning to Shrek Academy, Ming Wei attended classes, read books, practiced, and made pills as usual every day. When he was bored, he would seek out Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao to practice with, racing against time to improve his overall strength.
Time always passes quickly when you work hard. Three months went by in a flash and the freshman assessment is coming soon.
At this time, Huo Yuhao's soul power had already reached level 19. Ming Wei announced to the outside world that his soul power was at level 24, but in fact it was at level 34.
When it came time to determine the future direction of cultivation, Wang Dong looked at the auxiliary system written by Ming Wei, and then looked at the control system that Huo Yuhao wrote after hesitating for a while, and hesitated, not knowing how to write it.
She is obviously an offensive type, but wouldn't it mean they would be separated if she wrote it this way? But if she wrote it as a supporting type, Zhou Yi would beat her to death.
Wang Dong, who was suffering from decision-making difficulty, chose to hand in a blank paper, which made Zhou Yi laugh.
"Tell me, why did you hand in a blank paper? What? Do you look down on me or do you just refuse to accept it?"
With Wang Dong's blank paper as a comparison, Zhou Yi didn't mind Ming Wei and Huo Yuhao's choice so much. The impact of the blank paper was the greatest.
“Speak up! Who asked you to hand in a blank piece of paper? What are you looking at Ming Wei for? And don’t look at Huo Yuhao! There’s no reason written on their faces! I’ll give you a chance to convince me.”
"I feel like I can develop in any direction, I'm too confused to know what to write."
Wang Dong explained (quibbled) while shrinking his neck.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 21: Small-minded, revengeful
Zhou Yi didn’t know what to say to Wang Dong. Her thoughts were clear at a glance. She just wanted to be with Huo Yuhao and Ming Wei, and they would not separate even after they were divided into different departments.
"Your martial spirit is of the offensive type. Hurry up and write it for me. Then go back and prepare for the competition. Don't think about anything else."
Zhou Yi threw the white paper in her hand to Wang Dong and asked her to write down the strong attack department. Then she looked at the three of them again and set a goal for them in the freshman assessment.
"Among the more than 20 groups in the class, I am most optimistic about your group, so your goal is to win the championship. If you don't win, just wait and see."
Zhou Yi is ambitious. She specifically grouped three people she favored together to compete for the championship.
The three of them were also very confident. Wang Dong’s confidence came from her natural pride, while Huo Yuhao’s confidence came from what Ming Wei had revealed to him: her second soul skill was very powerful.
"Teacher Zhou, just wait for us to win the championship."
*
Mingwei had a rare chance to relax today and accompanied Huo Yuhao to set up a stall.
In fact, she was greedy and wanted to eat something delicious.
"You grilled fish is delicious. Why don't you grill something else for me? I think it should taste good too."
Ming Wei stared at the grill that Huo Yuhao had set up and asked with a smile.
"If you say that, the ingredients must be ready. Bring them here."
Huo Yuhao also smiled and stretched out his hand to Ming Wei, who immediately took out a handful of skewered beef from the storage soul guide. She still preferred roast beef.
"I haven't tried this, don't blame me if it doesn't taste good!"
Although he said this, Huo Yuhao was obviously more attentive when grilling the beef skewers.
The grill is not big and can grill four blue carps at the same time. After giving half of it to Mingwei to grill beef, only two fish can be grilled at the same time.
"You two have a pretty good relationship. I remember when we first met, this junior girl was so protective of you that it almost put me at a loss."
The one in the front was Xu Sanshi, who had been cheated by Beibei. This was the second time he saw Mingwei, but he recognized him at first sight.
"Brother Xu is joking again. Mingwei was only a first-ring spirit master at that time. How could he possibly embarrass you? It was you who made us do that."
Knowing that Ming Wei liked to keep a low profile, Huo Yuhao immediately attributed the situation at that time to Xu Sanshi being soft-hearted.
Mingwei's way of dealing with unfamiliar people is to give a sweet smile, which often works well.
Xu Sanshi did not mention what happened that day. He felt unhappy when he thought about it. He was hit by a dragon beard needle and was cheated of two Xuanshui pills. Thinking that the freshmen were about to take the test, he wanted to encourage them.
"I heard that you guys are going to take the freshman assessment, so you must try your best to pass it. Don't get eliminated, or I won't have anywhere to eat grilled fish."
Ming Wei, who was staring at his beef skewers, suddenly raised his head. At this moment, a female voice called out:
"Xiao Xu."
After realizing who the person was, Xu Sanshi shuddered and Mingwei clenched the bamboo stick in his hand.
She was a very beautiful woman wearing a red dress and a red veil.
Xu Sanshi turned around reluctantly, but he didn't look into her eyes. He lowered his head slightly and said:
"Sister Xiaotao."
Hearing this name, Mingwei felt certain.
This person was the senior from the inner courtyard who rushed out from the island in the middle of the lake that day and almost killed the three unlucky guys. At that time, the teacher in white also called her "Xiao Tao".
Just when Ming Wei was thinking about what gift to give to this senior schoolmate, she felt her hand being pried by Huo Yuhao. He took the unroasted beef skewers from her hand and stuffed a handful of roasted ones into Ming Wei's other hand.
"Try it and see if it suits Miss Ming's taste."
Seeing Huo Yuhao continuing to stare at the grill and Wang Dong eating fish but staring at the beef skewers in his hand, Ming Wei knew that she was the only one who recognized him.
