Chapter 33

"No, I must keep going. I absolutely cannot be eliminated." Huoyuhao clenched his teeth and quickened his pace once more. To clear his weary mind, he even activated his soul power, releasing a soul shock on himself. The intense pain in his brain also stimulated his body, and his speed indeed increased. He surpassed the last few people in the group.

Zhou Yi stood quietly there, not paying attention to the students who had already completed their laps, but instead focusing her gaze on those who had yet to finish.

Among these students, the one who looked the most exhausted was Huoyuhao. His school uniform was already drenched in sweat! But he gritted his teeth and struggled to keep going.

Time flew by, and Huoyuhao managed to run another eight laps. By then, only five minutes remained before the hour was up. Along with Huoyuhao, seven others had not finished. However, they only had three to five laps left and were already pushing themselves to their limits. There was still a chance they could finish. But Huoyuhao still had twelve laps to go!

At that moment, a figure suddenly ran out from the Shrek Square and landed behind Huoyuhao. In just a few steps, he caught up to Huoyuhao, and then an astonishing scene unfolded.

A pair of blue butterfly wings instantly unfurled from the back of the person who had caught up to Huoyuhao. The colors at the ends of the forewings changed from deep blue to azure to light blue, and the entire wing surface was like a blue sky adorned with a series of bright halos, forming a V-shape, bringing light to the world. The shape and colors were incomparably and faultlessly beautiful.

"Ah—" The sudden appearance of such magnificent wings was so shocking that almost all the students, regardless of gender, let out exclamations of surprise.

The wings were so beautiful that the entire wing surface resembled a vast blue sea with white waves, and the colors and patterns were spectacular, appearing in shades of purple and blue. The entire wing surface was like a blue sky adorned with a series of bright halos, sometimes deep blue, sometimes azure, sometimes light blue. The white patterns on the wings were like embedded jewels, shining brightly and captivatingly.

Even though the wings were just an illusion, under the sunlight, they made everyone feel dazed and enchanted, including Zhou Yi, the teacher.

After the butterfly wings were released, the figure attached himself to Huoyuhao from behind, his hands passing under Huoyuhao's armpits. With a sudden flap of the wings, he lifted Huoyuhao off the ground.

Huoyuhao was also startled and instinctively turned his head to see Wang Dong's handsome face.

"You..."

"What are you saying? Hurry up and circulate your soul power to make your body lighter." As Wang Dong spoke, he flapped his dazzling wings and accelerated, carrying Huoyuhao around the Shrek Square at high speed.

Huoyuhao was also stunned by Wang Dong's wings. They were so beautiful, truly beautiful! Was this his soul beast? Huoyuhao could even feel the V-shaped light patterns on Wang Dong's wings absorbing the sun's warmth. Without even mentioning that, just the ability to fly was already a powerful existence. Moreover, in nature, there was always the legend that the more beautiful something was, the more powerful it was!

A hint of satisfaction mixed with surprise appeared in Zhou Yi's eyes, and she muttered to herself, "Butterfly of the Goddess of Light? The most beautiful butterfly soul beast on the continent. Good, very good. At least I'm not completely disappointed."

Wang Dong's flying speed was very fast, and twelve laps in five minutes was no longer an impossible task. When he carried Huoyuhao to complete the last lap and they both landed, they stumbled. Huoyuhao quickly turned around and grabbed Wang Dong's shoulder, while he himself fell backward. Wang Dong ended up on top of him.

Although Wang Dong's cultivation was not weak for his age, he was still just a child! Carrying Huoyuhao for over three thousand meters, his soul power was somewhat depleted. As soon as they landed, the dazzling wings on his back retracted, and his face turned pale.

Huoyuhao, lying beneath him, smiled, "Thanks. Last time I was on top of you, this time you're on top of me."

Wang Dong got up with a look of disgust, "You stink. Do you think I wanted to be on top of you?"

Huoyuhao didn't get angry and followed him, gasping for breath while giving him a thumbs up.

Wang Dong was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and gave him a thumbs up in return. Both of them couldn't help but smile, and the previous grudges were all gone in that moment.

All the students had completed the one hundred laps within the specified time and were standing loosely on the Shrek Square.

Zhou Yi turned to the students with a blank expression and said indifferently, "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."

A total of nine people were called out. The students were clearly surprised that Zhou Yi could casually call out nine of their names without having introduced herself.

The called students walked out slowly.

Zhou Yi said indifferently, "You nine can go back and pack your things and leave the academy. From this moment on, you are no longer students of Shrek Academy."

"Ah?" The nine students, who were still exhausted from running, were shocked, and the other students were in an uproar.

"Teacher, why?" Tai Long, a tall and muscular teenager, stood up with a look of anger. Among the students who had completed their laps, he was in the first group, one of the earliest to finish.

Zhou Yi said coldly, "Shrek Academy does not need students who cheat. Having strength but lacking a good and upright mindset, such people will only bring disaster, not help, to any country when they become talented. Tai Long, did you run a hundred laps just now?"

Tai Long protested, "Of course I did."

Zhou Yi smiled, "A hundred laps? If I remember correctly, at the beginning of the run, because I hadn't arrived at the Shrek Square yet, you walked slowly for two laps. When the leaders reached the fifth lap, you only started to follow. Therefore, you didn't run a hundred laps, but ninety-seven. I believe more than one person saw your initial laziness."

"I..." Tai Long's face turned red. He never expected that Zhou Yi, who hadn't been on the square at the beginning, could describe his cheating as if she had seen it with her own eyes, "But even if I ran a few laps less, you can't just expel me!"

Zhou Yi snorted disdainfully, "I've already given my reasons. You are not worthy of being a student at Shrek Academy. Pack your things and get out."
