A few more days passed.
Heaven Dou Academy became lively once again.
The reason was that Zhu Zhuqing from Heaven Dou Class Four had taken the initiative to transfer to Heaven Dou Class One.
On the surface, it seemed like an ordinary class transfer.
But at a time when Yu Xiaogang's plagiarism scandal had not yet fully subsided and the "Grandmaster" halo was shattered...
The departure of a core team member was no different from a loud slap to the Face, struck hard against his already crumbling prestige.
This further confirmed the rumors that he was a waste.
After all, if he truly had real talent, why would Zhu Zhuqing transfer to another class?
However, this also demonstrated one thing.
That is, everyone is more or less double-standard.
For example, Yu Tianheng had also transferred from Heaven Dou Class One to Heaven Dou Class Four a while ago.
But everyone only thought Yu Tianheng had lost his mind and was a fool to transfer to Class Four, rather than believing Yu Xiaogang's teaching was actually good.
Yet, when Zhu Zhuqing transferred to Class One, everyone shifted the blame entirely onto Yu Xiaogang.
They believed he must have been misleading his students; otherwise, why would Zhu Zhuqing, who was doing well in Class Four, suddenly transfer?
Of course, the reason for such a polar opposite reaction was truly because Yang Yuan's reputation in Heaven Dou Class One was too high—even higher than that of the Three Committee Members.
Even Qin Ming, the nominal homeroom teacher of Class One, was a genuine Genius, a Spirit Emperor in his thirties.
What did Yu Xiaogang have?
A nearly fifty-year-old Level 29 Spirit Grandmaster, and his ten core competencies of spirits that he had obtained through plagiarism.
In comparison, Yu Xiaogang naturally lost completely... Inside the Heaven Dou Class Four training ground, the atmosphere dropped to freezing point as everyone looked at each other in silence.
In front of them, Yu Xiaogang's expression was livid, his chest heaving violently.
"Traitor! A short-sighted traitor, a fool who is destroying her own future!"
His roars echoed in the empty training ground.
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang could no longer maintain his pretentious "Grandmaster" posture.
Not just because rumors about him were spreading throughout Heaven Dou Academy...
But more so because Zhu Zhuqing's transfer meant she had rejected his proposal.
One must know that without the Hell White Tiger, the combat power of this team would drop by at least half.
Lacking this link, how could he lead the team to make a stunning debut in the Soul Master Tournament?
How could he wash away the humiliation he bore?
"Xiaogang, calm down."
Flender looked at Yu Xiaogang's frantic appearance, his brow furrowing slightly as he stepped forward to press down on his trembling shoulders.
"Flender, how can you expect me to be calm?"
"We invested so much in Zhu Zhuqing, and she just left like that without even saying a word?"
"This is betrayal!"
Yu Xiaogang continued to roar; his appearance made Oscar and Ma Hongjun in the crowd shrink their shoulders.
Flender gave a bitter smile and patted Yu Xiaogang's shoulder.
"Xiaogang, there's something I didn't tell you. Actually, before that child Zhuqing left, she did say goodbye to me."
Yu Xiaogang was instantly struck as if by lightning, then looked at Flender with eyes full of disbelief.
"She... she actually said goodbye to you before she left?"
"Wait, she wanted to leave, and you just let her go like that?"
Flender asked back, "Otherwise? What right do we have to detain her?"
"This... this..." Yu Xiaogang was momentarily speechless, but he quickly found an excuse.
"Only with us can she grow faster."
Flender shook his head, looking helpless.
"Xiaogang, you should know that's just your wishful thinking."
"Zhuqing is a stubborn child; once she decides on something, no one can change it."
"So she thinks that I, the great 'Grandmaster,' can't teach her?" After hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's Face turned pale and then flushed, his teeth gritted.
Seeing this, Flender shook his head.
"She never said anything like that."
The others present watched the scene with various thoughts.
In Tang San's eyes, there was concern for his teacher, anger at Zhu Zhuqing's "betrayal," and more of an indifferent detachment.
In his heart, his teacher's theories might be flawed, but strength and loyalty were the foundation.
He had originally thought that since they had shared joys and sorrows for so long, they were considered brothers and friends.
He hadn't expected Zhu Zhuqing to betray them without hesitation and transfer to Class One.
Beside him, Xiao Wu felt a hint of regret, but no other emotions.
Of course, this wasn't because her relationship with Zhu Zhuqing was bad.
It was because she saw things more simply, thinking that Zhu Zhuqing had just changed classes, not left Heaven Dou Academy; they would still be friends.
Moreover, she didn't actually think Yu Xiaogang's teaching was that good.
It was just a case of "love me, love my dog"; out of respect for Tang San, she still treated Yu Xiaogang with respect.
Among the group, Dai Mubai's reaction was the most intense.
His fists were clenched tight, his knuckles cracking, his handsome Face clouded with a mix of anger and the humiliation of being abandoned.
Since he had been unable to win over Zhu Zhuqing for so long, he had indeed planned to give up.
But it was one thing for him to give up voluntarily, and another to be abandoned by Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing's initiative to transfer classes was undoubtedly telling him...
From now on, the two of them would have no further relationship.
Meng Yiran stood beside Oscar; she looked at Yu Xiaogang's frantic state and lowered her head slightly.
Hidden by her falling hair, the corners of her mouth curled up into a satisfied arc that she couldn't suppress.
On the other side...
During a break in the theory class, Qin Ming introduced Zhu Zhuqing to everyone in Class One.
Yang Yuan sat in the corner of the classroom by the window.
When he learned that Zhu Zhuqing had transferred to Class One, he was also a bit surprised.
To Yang Yuan's left...
Dugu Yan's gaze swept over Zhu Zhuqing, and then she teased Yang Yuan with a smile.
"Xiao Yuan, look, her gaze drifted toward you just now. Do you think she came here for you?"
Yang Yuan asked back, "Isn't that a very normal thing?"
Dugu Yan touched her fair chin and hummed with a smile.
"I suppose so. This girl looks cold, like the kind of good child who only knows how to train hard. Maybe she really did come for your reputation."
"I think so too," Yang Yuan chuckled.
Zhu Zhuqing's talent was likely the weakest among the original Shrek Seven Devils, probably around Innate Rank 8.
That she could reach her current level was definitely due to her hard work.
While the two were talking, Ning Rongrong, who sat in front of Yang Yuan, stared wide-eyed at the peaks on Zhu Zhuqing's chest before looking down at her own plains.
She felt inferior and somewhat envious.
She had read in books that men all liked them big.
