In the Lounge of Blazing Academy
"Master, is this the tactic you mentioned?" a member of the Blazing Academy team complained.
Tang San frowned, clearly displeased. "We lost the match. Is that the teacher's fault?"
"Xiao San, you should focus on healing. Ye Feng was brutal. He broke eight of your ribs. Even Dai Mubai ended up with five broken ribs, and his wrist was shattered by Ye Feng." Yu Xiaogang listed Ye Feng's attacks, then sighed, blaming himself. "Today's battle was also my fault. I was deceived by the strength Ye Feng displayed in previous fights. I completely underestimated his true power and speed. I fell for his trick. On top of that, I didn't expect his martial spirit to be immune to both poison and fire. That was my miscalculation."
Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, and the others fell silent after hearing Yu Xiaogang take responsibility. It felt inappropriate to keep blaming him.
"What about the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique? Didn't you say you had it? Why didn't you use it?" Huo Wushuang questioned.
"That's for the finals. Right now, it's just the preliminaries. Our goal is to make it into the promotion round. The championship is our ultimate objective." Yu Xiaogang explained.
"Sister Chihuo, we'll avenge you in a few days," Feng Xiaotian said.
"We can't, but you can?" Huo Wushuang scoffed, clearly not convinced.
"Wushuang, that's not what I meant. Ye Feng is immune to fire, but that doesn't mean he's immune to wind."
"Feng Xiaotian, do you really want to date me?"
"Huh?"
"Are you serious?" Huo Wu asked again.
"Yes, I've always liked you." Feng Xiaotian admitted frankly.
"Alright then. If you can defeat the Shrek team and Ye Feng, I'll agree to date you." Huo Wu declared before turning to leave. "Brother, let's go."

Elsewhere at Canghui Academy
Apart from their main combatants, the students of Canghui Academy were growing anxious.
"Have you found Teacher Shi Nian?"
"No."
"It's been days. Still no news?"
"Could it be related to Shrek Academy?"
"Hmph, no matter. We face them tomorrow. Whether they had something to do with it or not, we'll make sure they regret it."

Late at Night
While Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong were asleep, Ye Feng sneaked into Liu Erlong's room.
The moment he stepped inside, he was stunned.
The dim lighting and soft pink decor made the room feel intimate and romantic. It looked like a newlywed's chamber.
"Damn, this is beautiful."
Ye Feng looked around before turning to Liu Erlong. "Is this why you disappeared all afternoon?"
"Yeah." Liu Erlong blushed, nodding slightly.
"What's with the clothes on the table? Why are they placed here?" Ye Feng pointed at five revealing outfits.
"Ye Feng, which one do you like? I'll wear it for you." Liu Erlong's voice was soft, her face flushed. "After tonight, I, Liu Erlong, will be yours completely."
"Where did you get these?" Ye Feng asked curiously.
"My friends always tease me about being an old maid. After spending time with them, I learned what men like. They said men prefer their women to wear these." Her blush deepened, making her look even more charming.
Ye Feng smirked and picked up a nearly transparent piece. "This one."
"Okay." Liu Erlong whispered, taking the outfit and heading to the bathroom to change.
(TL: Do you guys know what is going to happen next?)

The Next Day
By noon, Ye Feng and Liu Erlong finally arrived at the Shrek Academy lounge.
Liu Erlong clung to Ye Feng's arm, dressed in a regal robe, looking more refined than usual.
"Hey, why does Teacher Erlong seem different today?" Ma Hongjun raised an eyebrow, eyeing her carefully.
"Different how?" Oscar asked.
"She gives off the same vibe as my girlfriends back home," Ma Hongjun said knowingly.
"What? You interested in Teacher Erlong now?" Oscar smacked the back of Ma Hongjun's head. "Fatty, that's Boss Ye's woman. If you even think about making a move, you'll end up six feet under."
"Oscar, shut the hell up!" Ma Hongjun rubbed the back of his head. "I meant Teacher Erlong seems like she's become a real woman."
"A real woman?" Oscar snorted. "What, you thought she wasn't one before?"
"Damn, you're really acting pure lately, huh?" Ma Hongjun rolled his eyes. "I mean she has the aura of a woman who's been... fulfilled. They must have—"
He whispered something into Oscar's ear.
"What?!" Oscar's eyes widened in shock. He stared at Ye Feng and Liu Erlong for a moment before exclaiming, "Boss, you actually tamed the dragon!"
"Brother!"
Xiao Wu, oblivious to the conversation, walked up to Ye Feng with a pout. "Where have you been? We've been waiting forever!"
"Uh..." Ye Feng scratched his head awkwardly, sneaking a glance at Liu Erlong.
"Hey, brother, why do you have dark circles under your eyes? Didn't sleep well last night?" Xiao Wu asked with concern.
"Uh..." Ye Feng flinched, throwing another glance at Liu Erlong. He really didn't get much sleep, only managing four hours after last night's exhaustion. Not knowing how to respond, he changed the subject. "Who's our opponent today?"
"Canghui Academy," Xiao Wu replied.
"Canghui Academy?" Ye Feng frowned.
"Hah! Didn't we beat them before? Should be easy this time too," Oscar said confidently.
"No." Ye Feng shook his head. "Never underestimate your opponent, no matter who they are."
He remembered that in the original storyline, Canghui Academy went all out in desperation, using the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique against Shrek Academy.
As Ye Feng and his teammates left the lounge, they ran into Feng Xiaotian.
"You guys are from Shrek Academy, right?" Feng Xiaotian asked.
"Yeah." Ye Feng nodded.
"I'm Feng Xiaotian. We'll meet in the tournament. Do your best and crush Canghui Academy."
"Of course."
"You're Ye Feng?"
"Yeah."
"Don't lose before you get to us. Otherwise, Huo Wu might end up with someone else. Hahaha!" Feng Xiaotian laughed before walking away.
"Ye Feng, are you after Huo Wu?" Liu Erlong suddenly asked.
"No."
"If you are, just admit it. I wouldn't mind if you brought home a few sisters for me." Liu Erlong smiled teasingly. "I just have one condition."
"What is it?" Ye Feng asked curiously.
"We get to approve them first. If you bring home some random girl, it'll be embarrassing for all of us."
"Yeah." Xiao Wu nodded in agreement.
"Yeah." Ning Rongrong nodded as well.
"Rongrong, why are you nodding?" Ma Hongjun smirked. "You like Boss Ye too?"
