Class 1, Zhou Yi!

"Ah?!" Xiao Xiao's little face instantly went pale.

What kind of experience was it to be told by a classmate right after school started that your Class Teacher was an Abbess Miejue?

At that moment, Xiao Xiao truly felt it.

It hurt. It hurt so much!

She felt that her future school life was utterly bleak! Still, having such a handsome guy as a classmate should not be too bad, right?

Xiao Xiao could not help glancing at Lin Yun.

Mm, somehow it did not hurt quite as much anymore.

"Alright, since there's nothing else, see you when school starts!" Lin Yun said with a smile as he bid her farewell.

"You haven't told me your name yet!" Xiao Xiao hurriedly asked.

"Lin Yun! Lin as in two trees, Yun as in the clouds in the sky!" Lin Yun waved without looking back, leaving Xiao Xiao with the sight of his tall, broad back.

A young man should harbor lofty ambitions, daring to make Douluo Continent see a new dawn!

[Huo Yuhao's corruption continues]

With Electrolux having been snatched away and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm remaining offline for long stretches, Huo Yuhao was bullied by Wang Dong and had Lin Yun as a comparison. He had charged straight into a dead end.

The inferiority and cowardice in his heart were ignited by the burning wounds Wang Dong's attacks had left on him, transforming entirely into intense fury and resentment.

Electrolux's role in Huo Yuhao's life had not merely been to give him many more methods. He had also guided Huo Yuhao's temperament. Of course, after Electrolux died to protect Huo Yuhao and Snow Empress, then after Huo Yuhao's experiences in the Valley of Questions of Heaven and Earth, that temperament had gone completely crooked.

What did a bug that slept all day know about guiding someone's temperament?

As far as it was concerned, all it needed was for Huo Yuhao to keep becoming stronger and eventually lead it and Ice Empress to godhood and eternal life. That was enough.

What kind of personality did Huo Yuhao have? What emotions did he feel?

It did not care at all. At most, it understood how to help Huo Yuhao show off, slap faces, and keep him from dying young.

As long as I'm strong enough—if I become as strong as that person, Lin Yun—no one will dare bully me anymore. Then I can avenge Mother!

Thus, a dark seed was planted.

The next day.

Dawn broke in the east. Before the sun had risen, thin morning mist spread across Shrek Academy. Accompanied by the faint chirping of insects and birds, Lin Yun awoke from cultivation.

"The density of heaven and earth energy at Shrek is actually not much worse than deep within the Star Dou Great Forest? Is it because of the Golden Tree?" Lin Yun pursed his lips and looked through the window at Sea God Lake, shrouded in morning mist.

Lin Yun had already cultivated at Shrek Academy for two days. While cultivating here, his speed had been scarcely inferior to that in the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest.

On Sea God Island, in the place closest to the Golden Tree, the cultivation environment might even rival Lake of Life.

No wonder Shrek Academy produced powerful figures one after another. With vast experience accumulated over ten thousand years and enormous resources gathered as the continent's number one academy, anyone who was not completely hopeless could become a fairly capable soul master by cultivating at Shrek Academy.

"The Golden Tree... This thing is fated with my Star Dou Great Forest!" Lin Yun smiled faintly, got up, washed up, and dressed.

How could the Source of Life on Douluo Continent not take root at Lake of Life, where vitality was richest? Leaving it at Shrek Academy would be such a waste!

He needed to find a way to kill some old hag, then ferry the Golden Tree back!

Since it was the first day of school, many new students had risen early. While Lin Yun was still brushing his teeth, the corridors were already crowded with people coming and going.

For many people, simply entering Shrek Academy was already an honor. On the first day of class, no one wanted to leave a bad impression on Shrek's teachers by being late.

Elsewhere.

Zhou Yi rose from her soft bed. Her husband, Fan Yu, had long since gone to work at the Soul Tool Department, and she too was about to begin another round of teaching.

After casually taking care of her personal hygiene, Zhou Yi ate only a little before putting on her old-woman-like human-skin mask, concealing her delicate and beautiful face.

Zhou Yi was very excited.

As the Class Teacher, she could obtain information on every new student in her class ahead of time. One new student's name had lingered in her mind, even making her a little sleepless last night.

Lin Yun. Martial soul: Golden Dragon. Possessor of the Ultimate Power attribute. Rank 37 Soul Elder.

Age: twelve!

"Such a genius should be taught by me, so I can turn him into a true piece of uncut jade!" An excitement Zhou Yi could not conceal surfaced on her face. With Lin Yun around, she would become the brightest star among this year's new student teachers—no, among all teachers in Shrek's outer academy!

But...

Geniuses all had pride, and the students under her did not need pride. What she was best at was crushing her students' pride!

Zhou Yi was very confident. Under her guidance, Lin Yun would definitely become as obedient as a kitten!

Lin Yun, who was eating, suddenly shuddered violently. The chunk of meat in his mouth nearly fell to the floor.

"Damn it, what commoner dares plot against me?" Lin Yun scratched his arm with a chill, goosebumps crawling all over his skin.

After warily looking around, Lin Yun did not notice anyone suspicious. Instead, girls gazing at him with lovestruck faces were everywhere. It ruined his appetite, so he wolfed down the rest of his food in a few bites and quickly left the cafeteria.

"Ah, Lin Yun!"

The moment someone stepped out of the cafeteria, he heard a familiar soft, adorable voice.

It was Xiao Xiao.

"Oh, Xiao Xiao! Have you finished eating?" Lin Yun waved at Xiao Xiao, offering the greeting of a straight man.

Naturally, Xiao Xiao did not think Lin Yun's greeting was overly straight. As the saying went, beauty lay in the eye of the beholder. Right now, even if Lin Yun picked at his feet, Xiao Xiao would think he looked handsome.

"I-I have! Let's go report to our class together!" Xiao Xiao took tiny steps over to Lin Yun's side, her fair little hands clutching the hem of her skirt as she secretly glanced at his profile.

His brilliant golden eyes shone even more brightly beneath the rising sun, and Xiao Xiao immediately stared at them in a daze.

"So handsome..." Xiao Xiao could not help murmuring.

Lin Yun turned back and grinned. "Sure. Xiao Xiao, you have good taste. I approve of you!"

The Little Girl, having been discovered, hurriedly covered her mouth. She was so embarrassed that steam nearly rose from her head.

Heh, just a little girl. Lin Yun curled his lips into a Dragon King smile, then leisurely headed toward the teaching building.

Xiao Xiao silently followed at his side. However, her slightly evasive gaze kept falling upon Lin Yun from time to time.

All that could be said was that a looks-obsessed girl had been completely wrapped around his finger!

The first-year teaching building was easy enough to find. Shrek Academy's teaching buildings and school uniforms were distinguished by the colors of Soul Rings.

White was for first years, yellow for second through third years, purple for fourth through fifth years, black for sixth years, and red for the inner academy.

Each year had nearly a thousand new students. Even though only one-third would remain after the New Student Assessment, the new student teaching building was still the largest. Lin Yun easily found Class 1's location in the first-year teaching building.
