I Choose Senior Chu Ye

On the other side of the room, Huo Yuhao trembled and clenched his fists at the sight.

It seemed things were the same wherever he went.

In the Duke's Mansion, his mother and he had been lowly in status and could only swallow their grievances.

Now, at the continent's foremost academy, faced with such an unreasonable punishment from a teacher, he could only bow his head and submit.

He couldn't help recalling Senior Chu Ye's words: "Those who don't dare cause trouble are mediocrities" meant challenging those stronger than oneself, not bullying the weak.

In his view, Teacher Zhou Yi was going completely against Shrek Academy's motto.

Huo Yuhao abruptly stood up and spoke in Wang Dong's defense.

"Teacher Zhou, I think Wang Dong was right."

"Senior Chu Ye said it too. Shrek's 'Those who don't dare cause trouble are mediocrities' means we should challenge the strong."

"Groundless corporal punishment like yours is definitely not the spirit of Shrek."

All the students present were shaken.

Quite a few of them had heard about the deeds of Chu Ye, the senior known as the Demon Pill, that day.

They had greatly admired his courage.

They had originally thought everyone at Shrek was an oddball like Chu Ye.

They had never expected to encounter a teacher like Zhou Yi as soon as they arrived.

Their dreams had been somewhat shattered.

Hearing yet another person argue back, and hearing him treat Chu Ye's words like golden wisdom, Zhou Yi sneered.

"Your name is Huo Yuhao, right? Ten extra laps for you too."

Hearing this, all the students silently mourned for Huo Yuhao, while greatly admiring the two who had dared to speak up.

Xiao Xiao, who was sitting not far from Wang Dong, saw what happened and was just about to stand up in support.

But Huo Yuhao didn't back down.

Instead, he continued to challenge her.

"May I ask, Teacher Zhou!"

"If Senior Chu Ye were standing here today, would you still dare make him run those hundred laps?"

Huo Yuhao's challenge made Zhou Yi tremble all over, striking a raw nerve.

Back then, just as she had today, she had tried to suppress Chu Ye.

In the end, Chu Ye had hung her from a treetop in the Outer Court.

Now this Huo Yuhao kept bringing up Chu Ye, making her even more furious.

Most importantly, she knew that Chu Ye had been taken away by Yan Shaozhe and certainly wasn't present, and that he would surely be punished with confinement.

In that case, what did she have to worry about?

Zhou Yi said coldly,

"Insolence! Who does that little bastard Chu Ye think he is?"

"He's just an Outer Court disciple with no respect for his elders! Even if he were standing here today, I'd dare make him run a hundred laps!"

Hearing that Zhou Yi even dared punish Senior Chu Ye, the biggest troublemaker in the Outer Court, with laps, what more could the freshmen say?

They hadn't expected it either.

Could it be that Senior Chu Ye had once been dealt with by this old woman Zhou Yi too?

Their hearts skipped a beat.

It seemed they could only obediently run their laps.

They could only suppress their indignation.

After all, she was a Soul Emperor, while they were only freshmen.

Just then,

everyone suddenly felt the temperature in the classroom rise considerably in an instant.

A voice rang out in the classroom.

"Oh? Is that so?"

The hundred students turned around in surprise and saw a tall, upright figure step through the classroom door.

Chu Ye had a fruit that looked exceptionally delicious between his teeth.

How could he possibly miss the first show of the school year?

After all, with just a little effort, he could scoop up quite a few Fate Points.

He couldn't miss that.

Making an ordinary clone consumed practically no Fate Points.

But making one at the level of a Titled Douluo or above consumed far more.

Besides, he had his eye on the upgraded abilities of certain Talismans.

For example, the Rat Talisman's Turning Stillness into Motion could be upgraded to gain an additional ability: resurrection.

Who wouldn't be tempted by that?

But the prerequisite for all of it was having enough Fate Points.

No, that wasn't right.

He, Chu Ye, wasn't so mercenary as to do this for Fate Points!

As the best senior in the Shrek Outer Court, how could he bear to let these adorable juniors be harmed by that old woman Zhou Yi?

His thoughts turned, and he looked at Zhou Yi again and said calmly,

"Old woman Zhou, could you repeat what you just said?"

"Who did you want to make run laps?"

The students were all shaken to see the king of Outer Court troublemakers appear.

The urge to eat melon instantly welled up in their hearts.

Seeing how confident Chu Ye was, they couldn't help getting excited.

Was the old woman Zhou Yi about to be dealt with?

Xiao Xiao had already thought Wang Dong was handsome enough, but she hadn't expected someone even more handsome.

But Chu Ye's handsomeness was different from Wang Dong's.

Wang Dong had a touch of delicate beauty, while Chu Ye was ruggedly handsome, with a roguish edge.

Xiao Xiao couldn't help feeling torn. Which of the two should she like?

When Wang Dong saw the king of showing off make his entrance, the corner of her mouth twitched. He had actually come.

Huo Yuhao was even more excited.

"Senior Chu Ye is actually fine."

That day, he had seen the dean nearly die of anger.

He had thought Chu Ye would be severely punished, but now it seemed he was perfectly fine.

Zhou Yi's expression was the ugliest of all.

After all, Chu Ye had both Ultimate Fire and the cultivation of a Soul Emperor, more than enough to suppress her.

She had only dared say those things because she had thought Chu Ye would be severely punished by the academy, perhaps even expelled.

She hadn't expected Chu Ye to be perfectly fine, and now he even looked completely unruffled.

But with so many students watching, Zhou Yi could only rebuke him angrily:

"Chu Ye, this is class time."

"What are you trying to do, barging in and disrupting the class?"

"Believe it or not, I'll report you to the dean right now and have you expelled from the academy!"

Chu Ye wore a faint smile.

"Didn't you just say you were going to make me run laps?"

"Now you want to expel me from the academy instead?"

"You were so confident bullying these freshmen just now, weren't you? Why don't you dare show off your pressure as a Six-Ring Soul Emperor again?"

Zhou Yi was left speechless.

She couldn't beat him in a fight or an argument, so what could she say?

Hearing the exchange, the freshmen immediately realized that Senior Chu Ye was the one who had the upper hand.

Wang Dong felt especially pleased.

Seeing this old woman brought low gave her immense satisfaction.

She had just used Soul Power to suppress Wang Dong, but what now?

An even worse troublemaker had come to deal with her.

Zhou Yi snapped in exasperation, "You offended the Sea God and desecrated the Sea God! Shouldn't you be getting punished right now?"

Chu Ye scoffed. "Punishment? That's true. The academy revoked my eligibility to become an inner court disciple."

"But unfortunately for you, I'm an Outer Court teaching assistant now."

He casually pulled out the golden ancient-wood token Mu En had given him and tossed it onto the lectern.

"Elder Mu gave it to me personally and appointed me a specially hired teaching assistant for the freshmen of both the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Tool Department."

Seeing the Radiant Sacred Dragon's Soul Power reproduced on it, Zhou Yi's expression darkened. There was no doubt it was genuine.

Chu Ye said, "You've been looking at it for so long. You want it? If you want it, you can have it."

Her expression ugly, Zhou Yi tossed the token back to Chu Ye and said,

"So what if you're a specially hired teaching assistant?"

"No matter what, the students in my class are under my authority."

Chu Ye said,

"Under your authority?"

"Oh, in that case, you're very confident."

He looked at the students and said,

"Juniors, let me ask you: for this first class, do you want to study with Teacher Zhou Yi or with me?"

Zhou Yi snorted coldly. She believed every student would follow her, the official teacher.

The advantage was certainly hers.

How could a mere teaching assistant like Chu Ye possibly lead these students?

Any normal student with a brain would choose her.

However,

Wang Dong said without hesitation, "I choose Senior Chu Ye."

Chu Ye had helped her vent her anger. How could she stab him in the back?

Huo Yuhao followed immediately. "I choose Senior Chu Ye too."

Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up. "Me too, me too!"

And without exception, the remaining ninety-odd students also came over to Chu Ye's side.
