Chapter 249: Brother Jiang, You Can't Handle a Born-Evil Fallen Angel!
In the university dining hall, several girls sat around the table, eating together when a new rumor spread like wildfire across the campus.
Gu Yue and Xuedi froze mid-bite.
Both of their chopsticks snapped clean in half without their owners even noticing.
Xu Xiaoyan, trembling with curiosity, grabbed a passing student. "Hey, who are you all talking about?"
The boy, initially irritated at being pulled aside, turned—and froze upon seeing her stunning face. He swallowed nervously and whispered, "You don't know, beautiful lady? The whole city's talking about it! Shrek Academy's got an Evil Soul Master—and not just any, but one being trained as part of the Shrek Seven Monsters."
"She's called Yuanen Yehui, I think. Well, maybe she's not confirmed evil yet, but she's got an evil martial soul—that's enough! And apparently, someone used that secret to blackmail her… they got, uh, involved in a storage room on the first floor of the teaching building."
He leaned closer. "They got caught red-handed, too! Her second martial soul's supposedly the Fallen Angel—still technically an angel, sure, but—well, you know."
Xu Xiaoyan stared at him, speechless, and slowly turned pale.
She couldn't even imagine Jiang Chen being that kind of person.
But from the growing chill beside her, she knew someone was about to explode in anger.
Meanwhile, back at Shrek, the revelation hit hard.
An "Evil Soul Master."
Even if Yuanen's guilt wasn't officially confirmed, the second martial soul alone—Fallen Angel—sealed her fate in the eyes of many.
All that remained was whether she had harmed anyone. Once proven, she'd be branded fully fallen.
Shrek Academy wasted no time.
Within three hours—
An official statement was released.
Shrek Academy Official Notice:
After direct investigation by the Academy's Supreme Council and meticulous inquiry by the Inspection Corps, supported by irrefutable evidence, it is confirmed that student Yuanen Yehui has secretly practiced forbidden, evil arts in violation of both the Continental Soul Master Convention and Shrek Academy's Eternal Code, thus falling into corruption as an Evil Soul Master.
Her conduct defies the very spirit of Shrek. Her malicious essence endangers the safety of all soul masters, destabilizes academia, and threatens the moral balance of the continent.
In accordance with the highest clause of the Shrek Academy Disciplinary Code, the academy hereby declares:
Effective immediately, Yuanen Yehui is expelled permanently and irreversibly from Shrek Academy. All ties between her and the Academy are severed in full.
The evidence of her crimes shall be handed to the Shrek Monitoring Division for formal trial. Shrek Academy will fully comply with the Federation's justice system to ensure she faces the strictest consequences under the laws of the continent and the power of righteousness.
The Academy will show no leniency, no favoritism, and no mercy.
Shrek Academy solemnly proclaims to all of Douluo: the actions of this fallen soul reflect her own corruption alone, bearing no connection to Shrek Academy's creed, its honor, or the integrity of its faculty and students.
Her existence insults Shrek's glorious legacy; her removal is the necessary purification of our sacred title and duty to justice.
The Academy reaffirms its millennia-old vow:
Shrek shall never coexist with Evil Soul Masters.
The eradication of such corruption and the protection of the continent's peace remain the eternal blood oath of Shrek's lineage.
The Inspection Corps will maintain the highest vigilance, cleansing within and guarding without. Any darkness daring to infiltrate our halls—or threaten this world—shall face our most ruthless purge.
We will strengthen admission screenings, behavioral monitoring systems, and reporting procedures. No resource will be spared to ensure such vile acts never happen again.
We call upon all faculty and students to remain alert. Report any abnormal behavior directly to the Council or the Inspection Corps.
We understand the concern this news will bring. Shrek Academy, with the honor of ten thousand years and the sacrifices of countless predecessors, swears:
To expose corruption is to strengthen purity. To face darkness is to prove our courage.
The glory of Shrek lies in its steadfast devotion to the light and its absolute intolerance of evil.
We will continue, with unwavering resolve and transparency, to uphold our duty—to guard the continent and nurture its future pillars.
Trust must be earned; justice must never waver. Shrek Academy forever stands at the forefront of order and light.
Four words summed it up perfectly—Expulsion and Severance.
Whether or not she was truly evil no longer mattered.
The very act of hiding such a martial soul—the cursed Fallen Angel—was reason enough for Shrek to cut ties cleanly.
Nothing could be allowed to tarnish their name.
…
Elsewhere in the Federation, Yuanen Yehui and Jiang Chen were finally released.
Stepping back into the sunlight, Jiang Chen stretched lazily. "What a mess."
A sharp cry came from beside him.
Yuanen Yehui stood frozen, holding her communicator. Her face paled as she read the announcement.
She'd been expelled from Shrek Academy—and slated for trial by its Inspection Corps.
Just days ago, she had been one of the chosen Seven, handpicked for the divine ascension program. Now—banished in disgrace for something beyond her control.
They hadn't even asked for an explanation.
"How could they…" she whispered, voice trembling.
She'd already planned to leave Shrek eventually—to join the Spirit Pagoda, to seek control over her second martial soul—but not like this.
Expelled publicly, branded a criminal?
And why a trial, too?
Her lips quivered. For the first time, she almost regretted leaving that cell.
She tugged softly at Jiang Chen's sleeve. "Maybe… maybe we should go back."
"Go back?" he asked incredulously. "You mean to prison?"
Rolling his eyes, he chuckled and patted her shoulder. "Forget it. Eat, drink, breathe. Don't dwell on it—I've got your back."
He led her to a small café nearby.
If nothing else, this deserved a toast—after all, he'd just "rescued" another of Shrek's prodigies.
"Two coconut lattes, please," he told the waiter cheerfully.
…
Elsewhere, in a different building across the city—
Le Zhengyu lounged on a chair, one leg crossed over the other, humming with satisfaction.
"Heh. Brother Jiang should be thanking me by now!"
In his eyes, a Fallen Angel was the embodiment of corruption. The Federation might play semantics, but to a Holy Angel, some things were absolute.
That kind of darkness wasn't something you handled—it was something you purged.
If Jiang Chen thought he could tame that sinful allure, he was in for a nasty surprise.
Grinning smugly, he muttered to himself.
"Ah, Brother Jiang… that sort of born evil? You'll never control it."
"Better let me handle it instead."
