Outside Soto City, Shrek Academy.
"Iron pot, five Copper Soul Coins for you."
"The rusty iron shovel is worthless... I'll give you two Copper Soul Coins, seeing you're pitiful."
Seven Copper Soul Coins landed in Flender's hands.
The junk collector dragged the iron pot and shovel away without looking back, muttering as he walked, "You treat that iron pot and that broken shovel like treasures. If I hadn't collected so many valuable things from you, would I have given you seven Copper Soul Coins? Giving you one would be a stroke of luck."
The junk collector grumbled as he gazed at Shrek Academy,
now dilapidated and utterly decrepit, with only a few wooden buildings remaining. Approaching the entrance, the junk collector was surprised to discover that
the "Shrek Academy" sign was gone.
Not long ago, he had seen the "Shrek Academy" sign at a scrap collection center in the city, placed in a separate area. It was said that the owner had chopped it up for firewood.
Shrek Academy once enjoyed some reputation in Soto City, but ever since Flanders was reported for deliberately inflating prices and disrupting city trade, and was fined 10,000 gold soul coins, Shrek has been declining day by day.
To pay off his debts, Flanders has resorted to selling everything he has.
Clutching seven bronze soul coins tightly in his hand, Flanders sighed to the heavens.
"Shrek Academy is gone... Shrek Academy is gone..."
He repeated the same phrase over and over again. Flanders spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes rolled back, and he passed out.
"Boss!"
"Dean!"
"Teacher!"
The entire Shrek Academy faculty and students surrounded Flanders, their face pale and blood oozing from the corners of their mouths. They were instantly furious.
"Shrek Academy... my Shrek Academy..."
Flanders burst into tears, like a child who had suffered a wrong.
"Dean..."
Dai Mubai sighed, looking at the somewhat disoriented Flanders, and immediately headed for the door.
"Wait! Mubai, where are you going?"
Suddenly, the master called out to Dai Mubai. Seeing his relentless demeanor, he was definitely going to cause trouble for the rag collector.
"That rag collector has gone too far. I'm going to teach him a lesson."
Dai Mubai hated evil and would not be worthy of the mentally ill Flanders if
he didn't teach them a lesson. "Come back here!"
The master's face was expressionless and stern. "The most urgent thing now is to send Flanders to Soto City for treatment. In my opinion, Flanders is ill."
"Ill? What's wrong with you, Master?" Ma Hongjun asked anxiously.
"Money sickness."
The master shook his head and smiled bitterly. "I've known Flanders for so many years. He's a good person in every way except his greed for money. This time, he was reported, his shop was closed, and he was fined 10,000 gold soul coins. Now, even if all the belongings of Shrek Academy were sold, they can only pay back a few hundred gold soul coins..."
Flanders was carried away by Zhao Wuji. His eyes rolled back, his tongue exposed, and his whole body tensed.
Watching Flanders being dragged away, Ma Hongjun immediately said angrily: "Who is that damn person who reported him? I'm going to teach him a lesson right now!"
"And me!"
Xiao Wu was the first to jump out. Wherever there was excitement, there was Xiao Wu.
"Xiao Wu, we don't even know who that person is. How can we seek justice for Dean Flender?"
Tang San looked at the master and said, "Teacher, do you know what that person looks like?"
Faced with Tang San's question, the master frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "I heard from Flender that the man was wearing purple clothes and had a ponytail. He looked very handsome. As for who he was, that is unknown."
At that moment, everyone fell silent. They thought quickly in their minds, hoping to find some clues.

Everyone shook their heads in response to Master's description; they didn't seem to have any idea of this person. Of
the Shrek Seven Devils, only Tang San and Xiao Wu exchanged glances, their gazes filled with disbelief.
"Could that person be... Zhou Sidong?"
The siblings had spent six years in Notting City with Zhou Sidong, and knew him intimately.
Even Master, upon hearing Tang San and Xiao Wu's words, couldn't help but compare him to Zhou Sidong.
It wouldn't matter if they didn't compare, but the first sight was truly shocking!
"Xiao San, who is the Zhou Sidong you're talking about?"
Dai Mubai asked, his brow furrowed as he clenched his fists, a chill in his eyes.
"He was a classmate of ours in Notting City, we attended the same academy together," Xiao Wu replied quickly.
"Xiao San, Xiao Wu, in your opinion, given the character of Zhou Sidong, would he do such a heinous act?" Oscar asked, his voice skeptical.
Tang San thought for a moment and said, "That... can't be right. While Dean Flanders may be a bit of a jerk, Zhou Sidong has never met him before, so I don't think he'd do anything so outrageous."
"More importantly, Zhou Sidong and his family have relocated to Tiandou City. There's no way he'd be passing through Suoto City, let alone provoke anyone," Xiao Wu reminded him.
And so, the clue was broken again.
"No way."
Zhu Zhuqing's expression was particularly striking.
Zhou Sidong.
This name, missing for months, was mentioned again.
"Zhuqing, what's wrong?"
Ning Rongrong, standing beside Zhu Zhuqing, asked in confusion, looking at the gloomy Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing was usually cold and seldom interacted with others, except for the three women.
She hated Dai Mubai with a deep hatred.
After being caught in public that day, Zhu Zhuqing had completely venerated Dai Mubai, the little lecher.
Although Dai Mubai later reformed, it was easy for Zhu Zhuqing to see that he was just a facade.
Sometimes, she was even dragged along by Ma Hongjun, and eventually, unable to resist his instigation, she went along.
"No, nothing..."
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head, her usual aloof demeanor returning.
"According to what Third Brother and Xiao Wu said, Zhou Sidong must be the one who reported Dean Flender."
Zhu Zhuqing had stumbled upon Zhou Sidong's family in the forest that day.
She had spoken with Zhou Sidong briefly, and in those few words, he had warned her about Dai Mubai's character.
Now, it seemed to have come true.
And Zhou Sidong had said, beware of those who used hidden weapons. Zhu Zhuqing subconsciously glanced at Tang San. Was that Tang San?
After spending these past few months together, Zhu Zhuqing had found Tang San alright.
Not like what Zhou Sidong said.
A villain?
Really not.
Could it be that Tang San was deliberately concealing his true identity?
"Let's get back to the point."
The Master coughed a few times and said solemnly, "Everyone's been doing well recently in the Soto Arena. I've watched it all, and you've all made great progress. Tonight, I'll continue my collective fighting with the Waves Team. This time, I'm going all-in on you to win. Only then can we repay Shrek Academy's debt, and your beloved Dean Flender can finally see the light of day."
