This Was a Topic No One Could Even Touch

This Was a Topic No One Could Even Touch

Teacher Zhou froze at Song Qinghan's question.

Autocratic, domineering, forceful—those had been Zhou Yi's labels before Huo Yuhao came to Shrek Academy.

She firmly believed that her teaching methods were absolutely the best, utterly unmatched.

Only by following her methods could these new students find the right direction and become pillars capable of contributing to Shrek Academy.

Yet now, someone was asking her for "the right to choose."

Zhou Yi did not know what state she was in right now. She only felt rage surge into her heart.

Song Qinghan—she had deliberately promoted him and directly granted him the right to pass the assessment. Yet he still wanted rights?

This was Shrek Academy! This was a chance to remain at Shrek Academy! What was he doing?

Not to mention that Song Qinghan had originally wanted to study in the Soul Tool Department. Why had he suddenly changed his mind now?

Could Huo Yuhao have warned Song Qinghan beforehand and told him to oppose her?

That was impossible. No matter what, Huo Yuhao could not have known whom she intended to let pass the assessment directly.

Besides, this was a direct pass! The best chance to directly join Shrek Academy! Song Qinghan could not possibly give it up.

Countless thoughts swirled through Zhou Yi's mind, yet she could not understand why Song Qinghan dared demand rights from her.

Amid the silence, the entire classroom was deathly quiet.

"Teacher Zhou!" Song Qinghan gritted his teeth. "I can give up the chance to pass the assessment directly and form a team with the others."

Zhou Yi's expression darkened and lightened unpredictably. She found Song Qinghan's face utterly irritating.

Why would he not listen to her? Why would he give up such a hard-won opportunity?

Because of her forcefulness?

Could it be that Song Qinghan truly was not afraid of being expelled from the academy?

Song Qinghan could not possibly be unafraid.

In truth, Huo Yuhao had not done anything to Song Qinghan at all.

A butterfly only needed to flap its wings once to stir up a massive storm on the other side.

In the end, the matter was simply dropped.

Zhou Yi directly avoided the subject. After all, it had become a topic she could not even touch.

What if that brat Huo Yuhao humiliated her again?

Zhou Yi now felt an inexplicable fear toward Huo Yuhao and did not want anything more to do with him.

Next, Zhou Yi explained some of the other rules of the New Student Assessment.

Several hundred groups of students would take part in the New Student Assessment, but only the top one hundred and fifty groups by points would ultimately remain.

The class teachers would first arrange the groupings. If anyone objected to their assigned group, it could be changed afterward.

With Zhou Yi's usual forcefulness, naturally no one would have dared resist her arrangements.

But under Huo Yuhao's influence, more and more people had begun to gather the courage to ask about matters concerning themselves.

And because Huo Yuhao was there, Zhou Yi could not lose her temper again. She could only patiently deal with them one by one.

Finally, after everyone's groupings had been settled, Zhou Yi frowned deeply but still called Huo Yuhao's name.

Wang Dong had already collected the papers from earlier and handed them to Zhou Yi. Thus, Zhou Yi had just reviewed everyone's cultivation direction.

"Huo Yuhao, tell me. What kind of classification is Omni-System?"

Normally, class could have ended and everyone could have left the classroom by now.

But because Zhou Yi had stopped Huo Yuhao, the others remained in the classroom as well.

Huo Yuhao slowly got to his feet. "Teacher Zhou, Omni-System is Omni-System. What else could it be?"

"Assault, agility assault, control, support... among all these Soul Master classifications, there has never been an Omni-System classification. Tell me, what are you thinking?"

Although Zhou Yi no longer dared show her forcefulness in front of Huo Yuhao, this question was sincere.

She believed Huo Yuhao had not written Omni-System merely to boast. Otherwise, would she, the fiery teacher who had already been rebuked by Huo Yuhao, not become an even greater fool?

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were also very curious about the Omni-System Huo Yuhao had written down, and both looked at him.

Under everyone's gaze, Huo Yuhao did not waste words. "I can assault, I can make agility assaults, I can support, I can control... If I can do all of those things, why can't I be called Omni-System?"

"You..." Zhou Yi had clearly not expected Huo Yuhao to give such an answer.

Someone suddenly said, "What about the food system?"

Xiao Xiao blurted out involuntarily, "I know, he can cook!"

For a moment, the entire class cast somewhat suggestive looks their way.

Huo Yuhao bringing his roommate Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao out for barbecue every day was already common knowledge.

Xiao Xiao's face reddened slightly, and she said nothing more.

Zhou Yi, meanwhile, was stunned again.

She had never experienced such a relaxed classroom atmosphere.

After a moment of silence, Zhou Yi waved her hand. "Class dismissed!"

Outside Shrek City's eastern gate.

Little Huo BBQ was still thriving. Even without Huo Yuhao's help, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao's barbecue skills could be considered proficient.

Moreover, having figured out how to practice Soul Power control through something as minor as barbecue, they greatly admired Huo Yuhao.

But today, Little Huo BBQ welcomed a new customer.

A woman dressed in red stepped out through the gates.

The moment she appeared, the crowd naturally made way for her.

Her presence was even more imposing than when Jiang Nannan had emerged. Almost no one dared look directly at her; they all lowered their heads.

The red-clad woman was tall and slender, with a figure that was even somewhat exaggerated—full and voluptuous, as though ready to burst forth. From head to toe, she radiated youthful beauty.

Yet a red veil concealed her face.

Even so, one could tell from her brows and eyes alone that her beauty had to be breathtaking.

Her pale pink eyes were exceptionally captivating, yet the gaze within them was utterly cold, creating a sharp contrast.

Huo Yuhao naturally recognized her. She was Ma Xiaotao, who had gone berserk that day.

Had he not been there, berserk Ma Xiaotao might have directly killed Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao.

In Ma Xiaotao's heart, everyone she had killed before had always been "enemies of Shrek."

But once she personally killed Outer Court students unrelated to those "enemies," she would be completely swallowed by darkness.

Whether out of guilt or self-indulgence, falling into darkness would be her only ending.

But this time was different.

Huo Yuhao would pull her—pull Ma Xiaotao—completely out of the vortex of berserkness.

This was the only thing he could do for Ma Xiaotao in this life.

But not yet.

Huo Yuhao's Second Martial Soul had not yet taken shape, so he could not completely stop Ma Xiaotao from going berserk.

And the Ice and Fire Dual Eyes... that place was filled with hundred-thousand-year plant soul beasts. Its power was beyond comparison with an ordinary soul beast forest.
