Douluo: Destroying Tang San After Becoming the God of Destruction!

Ma Xiaotao. She was a descendant of the first Shrek Seven Devils, possessing a top-tier Phoenix martial soul, and also an Ultimate Fire attribute!

As for that student who was obliterated...

"Seal the news. I'll immediately revoke his student status and erase all records of him ever being at Shrek Academy!"

"He's nothing more than an outer courtyard student."

Teacher Li felt a chill in his heart. So, the one who died was "just an outer courtyard student."

However, faced with a senior elder of Sea God Pavilion, he had no position or authority to say more.

At the moment Huo Yuhao lost consciousness, he was completely unaware of the outside situation.

Within the Sea of Spirit, Huo Yuhao's eyes were vacant, as if he hadn't yet recovered.

"Hey, little Yuhao, where did you think you were going? If I hadn't stepped in, you'd have already become a corpse!"

Huo Yuhao's throat was parched as he asked, "So, what about my roommate?"

Tianmeng Iceworm noticed Huo Yuhao's pain and sorrow and sighed helplessly. "I woke up too late."

"After all, I had just gone into slumber. Who could have expected you to encounter such a situation?"

"Yuhao, you'd better focus on cultivating your soul power."

"If it weren't for me, even you would be dead now."

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but feel a wave of desolation in his heart. His roommate, with whom he had just been chatting moments ago, had vanished from this world in the blink of an eye.

And it had happened right before his very eyes, yet he was powerless to stop it.

Never before had he hated and resented his own weakness as much as he did now.

Following this was an overwhelming surge of anger. "I will make Shrek Academy give my roommate an explanation!"

"Does being an inner courtyard Shrek student mean they can kill others?"

When Huo Yuhao finally woke up and opened his eyes, he saw a middle-aged man in white standing before him.

"Teacher Li!"

Huo Yuhao recognized this teacher, who always helped them heal after physical training sessions.

"Teacher, just now—"

Teacher Li interrupted Huo Yuhao immediately, speaking calmly, "You're fine now. As for what you saw earlier, forget it. Otherwise, you will be expelled from the academy."

"This is for you as compensation. I hope you're smart enough to understand."

However, there was no way Huo Yuhao could accept this. His bloodshot eyes burned as he stood up. "Teacher Li, she killed someone!"

"So what? Do you want her to pay with her life?"

Huo Yuhao stood there in stunned silence. He wasn't foolish; he knew that Shrek Academy would never have an inner courtyard student atone with their life for an outer courtyard one.

He struggled to speak, "So, is this just going to be swept under the rug?"

He couldn't believe it. This was the Shrek Academy he had once dreamed of joining.

"Don't think too much. Just focus on your cultivation. Only when you become strong can you uphold the truths of this world."

Teacher Li placed a green pill in front of Huo Yuhao and left without another word.

As he watched the teacher's figure disappear, Huo Yuhao was filled with fury, feeling as though his entire body was about to explode.

"Then, if someday an outer courtyard student kills an inner courtyard one, I hope the academy will react the same way!"

But Teacher Li paid no attention to Huo Yuhao's outburst.

"A useless one-ring soul master—he'll be expelled by next semester anyway."

Though he had seen it himself, Huo Yuhao was undoubtedly the most diligent student in the class.

But hard work meant nothing in the face of talent.

Until the teacher's figure completely disappeared from view, Huo Yuhao couldn't believe the matter would end just like that.

She... killed someone?

And there would be no accountability at all?

Furious, he looked down at the green pill at his feet.

Though he didn't know exactly what it was, he could sense its dense vitality. Consuming it would undoubtedly lead to significant improvement.

But to take something gained from the ashes of his friend?

Huo Yuhao wouldn't allow it!

With a vicious motion, he hurled it into the Sea God Pavilion's lake.

Then he turned and ran to the teaching building, heading straight for Zhou Yi's office.

**Boom!**

The door to the office slammed open.

As the most powerful teacher in Shrek Academy's outer courtyard, Zhou Yi naturally had her own office.

Zhou Yi seemed to have anticipated Huo Yuhao's arrival but didn't set down her work.

"Teacher, an inner courtyard student killed someone! What does Shrek Academy have to say about this?"

Huo Yuhao slammed his hand on Zhou Yi's desk, seething with anger.

However, Zhou Yi calmly took a sip of tea. "Huo Yuhao, I understand your anger."

"But if this matter were to spread, it would severely damage Shrek Academy's reputation."

"So the academy won't issue a public apology. However, they will compensate the family with a significant sum of money."

"This compensation will ensure the family is well-off for the rest of their lives. If their descendants show talent as soul masters, the academy will take them in and nurture them."

"The academy has already been exceedingly generous."

She hadn't told him the full truth. After all, the deceased had only just joined Shrek Academy. They might not have even passed the freshman assessment and could have been expelled anyway.

The academy wouldn't risk its reputation for a student whose future at Shrek was uncertain.

"Compensation? Someone has died. At the very least, she should apologize!"

Huo Yuhao's demands lowered further and further.

Yet Zhou Yi still refused him. "This matter ends here."

Ma Xiaotao's condition was precarious and couldn't handle any further provocation.

Otherwise, the academy wouldn't have sealed the incident.

She possessed Ultimate Fire, the top-tier martial soul with divine beast bloodline! Furthermore, she was a direct descendant of *that figure*!

She was a true Shrek Academy lineage!

If she fell into the path of an evil soul master, the consequences would be devastating.

Huo Yuhao weakly pounded his fists against the desk. "Am I really so powerless that I have to watch this happen with nothing I can do?"

"Enough. I understand how you feel, but your talent is too lacking. You can only rely on effort to catch up to geniuses." Zhou Yi still admired Huo Yuhao greatly.

She had already said this much to him. If he continued to make a fuss, he would undoubtedly be expelled from the academy.

When it came to protecting the academy's reputation, the school had always prioritized it above all else.

Huo Yuhao finally felt disheartened. "So, Shrek's so-called fairness is only fairness for the talented. Ordinary people aren't even worth the academy's notice. How can this still be called the continent's number one academy?"

"Huo Yuhao, watch your attitude. If Shrek Academy were as you imagine it, then even his parents wouldn't exist!"

Zhou Yi spoke earnestly, "Talented individuals will always have privileges!"

**Privileges—**

Huo Yuhao's face turned deathly pale. He never expected his teacher to share such a perspective.

What about his roommate? Was this the end of it?

To watch someone die right in front of him without any accountability, and to be completely powerless himself?

"You'd better go back and get some rest. Forget about this matter."

Zhou Yi leaned back leisurely in her chair and picked up her work journal.

Besides, the victim wasn't even her student. The fact that she had said so much to Huo Yuhao was already out of appreciation for his diligence.

"Moreover, Huo Yuhao, you wouldn't want to be expelled from Shrek Academy after working so hard to get here, would you?"
