Chapter 31

At this moment, the spacious room was already filled with people. Since Huo Yuhao was the last to arrive, there were very few empty seats left. He managed to find a vacant seat and sat down. The classmate next to him was a rather pretty little girl. However, this little girl looked a bit like Wang Dong when he first met him, with a haughty expression, her head held high, not even glancing at him.

After sitting down, Huo Yuhao had a chance to observe the surroundings. The classroom was large, and there were about a hundred students in his class. Given that there were a thousand new students in total, there should be around ten new classes.

He quickly spotted Wang Dong, mainly because Wang Dong's appearance was too outstanding. The people sitting around him, in front, behind, and on both sides, were all girls, and none of them were inferior to the female students next to Huo Yuhao.

Just then, a person walked in from the classroom door. It was an old woman, with wrinkled skin and white hair, her gray hair coiled on top of her head. She wore a white robe and had a medium build. What was particularly unusual was that she had a pair of very bright eyes, with black pupils that sparkled.

Huo Yuhao's own soul technique was the Spirit Eyes, so he was particularly sensitive to others' eyes. He felt a strong mental pressure from the old woman's eyes.

Despite her advanced age, the old woman's back was straight, and she walked a few steps to the back of the lectern. Undoubtedly, she was definitely the teacher for the first-year class.

When the students saw a teacher enter, the previously chaotic class immediately quieted down, and their gazes focused on the lectern.

The old woman's gaze swept calmly from left to right, and instantly, everyone felt as if they were being watched, a无形的压力顿时出现在心中。

"I am Zhou Yi, your homeroom teacher. I'm not sure how many of you will be able to follow me through the next year. But I want to tell you that in my class, no trash will pass the assessment. I want to cultivate monsters, not fools."

This Teacher Zhou's voice was a harsh and raspy, like a broken gong.

Upon hearing her words, many students showed signs of indignation on their faces. To be able to pass the assessment and become students at Shrek Academy, they were all carefully selected from the various countries on the continent. Among their peers, they were undoubtedly elites. But in this Teacher Zhou's mouth, they were called trash and fools.

Huo Yuhao, however, remained calm. When he first saw this Teacher Zhou, he recalled what his senior brother and Teacher Xiaoya had said. This Teacher Zhou would be very strict and have a bad temper, but she was truly capable.

"Stand up if you have fought during the registration period," Zhou Yi's next words shocked the entire class.

These students had just been admitted; who would fight for no reason in the academy? Even if they did fight, who would admit it?

As the entire class remained silent, one person stood up—it was Huo Yuhao. He stood up not because he was honest, but because he vaguely guessed that this Teacher Zhou would not play by the rules.

Seeing Huo Yuhao stand up, Wang Dong snorted and also stood up, unwilling to be outdone.

Out of the hundred students in the class, only the two of them stood up, instantly becoming the focus of the entire class.

"Only two?" Zhou Yi raised her eyebrows. "What a bunch of wimps. Don't you know that not daring to cause trouble is a sign of mediocrity? Everyone else, get out and run a hundred laps around Shrek Square. If anyone doesn't finish, they will be expelled."

As soon as she said this, the entire class was in an uproar. It was the first day of school, and they hadn't even started class, yet they were being punished for not fighting. Who could accept that?

Suddenly, a student stood up, "Teacher, I don't agree. Why should we be punished for not fighting?"

Zhou Yi said calmly, "Because I said so. If you don't agree, you can leave. As your homeroom teacher, I have the power to expel any student. You have one minute. If I don't see you all running around Shrek Square in one minute, everyone will be expelled."

As she spoke, a terrifying aura surged from her body, and the powerful soul power pressed down on every student, making it hard for them to breathe. A series of soul rings rose from her feet.

Two yellow, two purple, two black—six soul rings emitted an indescribable powerful aura. This Teacher Zhou was actually a Soul Emperor-level expert and had two ten-thousand-year soul rings. To put it bluntly, if she wanted to deal with these hundred young students, it would be as easy as turning over her hand.

These students were just freshmen, and under such pressure, no one dared to resist. They all stood up and left the classroom, and Zhou Yi's soul rings disappeared as quickly as they appeared. She watched the students leave the classroom with a blank expression.

"Let me remind you, you have one hour. If you haven't completed a hundred laps in one hour, you will be considered不合格. This is your first assessment at the academy. Those who fail will be expelled."

Hearing this, the students' movements quickened, and they soon ran to the playground.

Wang Dong looked at Huo Yuhao with some surprise. Now, only the two of them were left in the class. Zhou Yi's expression seemed much gentler, and she beckoned them over.

Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao walked over together.

Looking at the two of them, Zhou Yi nodded in satisfaction and said, "Not bad, at least there are two kids with some spirit. Tell me, who did you fight with, and why?"

Wang Dong was about to speak, but Huo Yuhao beat him to it, "Report, Teacher, we are roommates. We had a conflict over a small matter."

Zhou Yi seemed very interested, "Oh? Roommates. Good, it's best for roommates to fight. This creates competition and promotes mutual improvement."

Standing in front of Zhou Yi, both Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong felt a chill down their spines and cold sweat on their backs. This Teacher Zhou was truly domineering. Moreover, she really didn't play by the rules! Her way of thinking was completely different from that of a normal person. No wonder she was called a monster teacher by his senior brother.

Zhou Yi's face showed a smile that was more painful than crying, and her old face seemed to twitch, "Fighting is good, but I don't like my students fighting each other. Remember, next time, fight students from other classes. Our Shrek Academy's rules are always relaxed to encourage the individuality of the students. We usually turn a blind eye to fighting. However, there are certain limits. Upperclassmen are not allowed to provoke or attack underclassmen. If discovered, they will be expelled. But underclassmen can challenge upperclassmen, provided a teacher is present to ensure it's not bullying. As for students in the same year, they can fight freely as long as no one dies. The academy will not interfere. Battle is one of the best ways to improve oneself."

"If you can advance to the second year, you can go to the Soul Duel Area to compete. The more victories you have, the more rewards the academy will give. But for now, you can go and run too."

Wang Dong was taken aback, "Teacher, didn't you say we have spirit?"
