What Are You Barking About?

After entering the classroom, Lin Yun headed straight for the back row without hesitation and took a window seat.

The throne of a king could only be occupied by a king!

Xiao Xiao also came over and sat beside him. For some reason, the Little Girl seemed determined to stick with him.

Lin Yun did not bother with her. If she wanted to sit there, she could. Resting his head on one hand, he gazed out the window in complete leisure. He might have been relaxed, but the class was in an uproar, whispers rising from every direction.

"Hey, look at that guy!" A boy poked the friend beside him and discreetly pointed toward Lin Yun in the back row.

The poked boy turned around with a bewildered expression, then spotted Lin Yun, who stood out like a crane among chickens.

"What? Is he famous?" he asked with a laugh.

"Idiot, you registered late, so you never ran into him. But I saw it with my own eyes! He's the one who made us clear a path for him during registration!" The boy curled his lip and lowered his voice even further.

"I'd say he's the strongest freshman in our year!"

This boy was clearly one of those who had instinctively stepped aside for Lin Yun during registration a few days ago. After registration ended, the stir caused by Lin Yun had not faded. Instead, it had only grown more intense.

Soul Masters admired strength. The more powerful someone was, the more they worshipped them. And Lin Yun was the center of attention among the freshmen. His name was spreading not only among the first-years, but even among the upperclassmen.

Before classes had even begun, Lin Yun's name had already started to gain fame throughout the outer court.

Some busybodies had even bestowed Lin Yun with the title of the Strongest Freshman King.

"He's the Strongest Freshman King?" The boy's eyes widened abruptly as he stared at the languid-looking Lin Yun in shock.

"He's actually in the same class as us?!"

Such conversations were not limited to those two. In truth, quite a few people from the crowd that day had been assigned to Class 1. They were all people who had personally felt Lin Yun's imposing presence.

If Lin Yun had not consciously started restraining his Dragon's Might after causing such a commotion, there probably would not have been anyone in the classroom who dared to speak right now.

That invisible Dragon's Might was no different from a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring constantly radiating pressure.

Lin Yun naturally heard all those whispers. His powerful physique had not merely granted him strength far beyond ordinary people; his five senses had also become incredibly sharp.

He did not care about their chatter. A bigger reputation had its benefits. Later, he could just kill a couple of chickens to scare the monkeys, and Shrek probably would not have many people daring to provoke him anymore.

Lin Yun was really tired of plots where weaklings jumped in his face.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong also arrived in Class 1. Yet despite being roommates, one sat on the far left while the other sat on the far right, giving off the distinct impression that they wanted nothing to do with each other for the rest of their lives.

Although Huo Yuhao had won his scheduled fight with Wang Dong, he had not won completely. After all, he was the only one injured, while Wang Dong had not suffered a damn thing.

After the fight, Huo Yuhao had not gotten to rest either. Wang Dong had the temperament of a young master and did not want to clean the dorm, but Huo Yuhao, who liked things clean, could not stand their filthy room. So he still rolled up his sleeves and cleaned it himself.

And throughout the entire process, Wang Dong had not helped at all!

That made Huo Yuhao's impression of Wang Dong plummet even further. Up until now, he had not said a single word to Wang Dong.

Proud as a goose, Wang Dong saw that Huo Yuhao did not want to talk to her, so she did not shamelessly go over and ingratiate herself either. That would only make her seem beneath herself.

Listening to the whispers in the classroom and watching those admiring, reverent gazes continually land on Lin Yun, Huo Yuhao's heart filled with envy. He even imagined how wonderful it would be if those gazes were directed at him instead!

If he had Lin Yun's strength and reputation, would that young master Wang Dong still dare bully him like that?

Become stronger. I have to become stronger!

(Still darkening...)

Tap, tap, tap...

The crisp sound of high heels striking tile came from outside the door. For some reason, although the sound should have been very faint, it reached the ears of every student in Class 1 with perfect clarity.

The previously chaotic noise gradually fell silent.

Those who had looked at the notice board had naturally seen their Class Teacher's name, a name that was obviously feminine at a glance.

Combined with the crisp sound of high heels, some uninformed boys had even begun imagining whether their Class Teacher might be an exquisitely beautiful woman.

Only Lin Yun, propping his cheek up with one hand, let out a cold laugh.

That old hag is even using Soul Power to spread the sound of her footsteps. She really knows how to put on a show!

How could normal footsteps possibly reach everyone's ears so clearly, especially in such a noisy environment? There was only one answer: Zhou Yi had used Soul Power to deliberately transmit the sound.

Amid the expectant gazes of some boys, Zhou Yi's high-heeled leg stepped into the classroom first. What followed was her old hag face, covered by a mask...

The male students who had been harboring fantasies instantly turned green.

I actually wanted to fantasize about an old hag like this?

No way. At the very least, that shouldn't be possible!

Zhou Yi ignored those green-faced male students. With a stern expression, she walked to the podium and wrote her name on the blackboard.

"My name is Zhou Yi, and I am your Class Teacher. I do not know how many of you will make it through the coming year, but let me tell you this first: I intend to cultivate absolute geniuses. Every idiot will be thrown out of Class 1," Zhou Yi said indifferently.

The moment she opened her mouth, the expressions of many students changed.

What the hell does she mean by idiots? We're genius Soul Masters who passed Shrek's admission requirements!

Xiao Xiao, beside Lin Yun, revealed a smile uglier than crying and looked at him pitifully. Xiao Xiao truly had not expected the perverted old hag Lin Yun spoke of to be this perverted!

"Stand up if you have gotten into a fight within the academy during these past few days of registration." Zhou Yi's next sentence was like tossing another stone into Class 1, sending ripples through the room.

Lin Yun watched Zhou Yi perform with great interest. He felt his blood boil. He was about to hear the cheers of the entire class!

Then, without surprise, Huo Yuhao stood up with complete honesty.

On the other side, Wang Dong curled her lip when she saw Huo Yuhao stand, then stood up as well. She even shot Huo Yuhao a defiant glare.

Zhou Yi swept her gaze around the room, lingering particularly on Lin Yun for a moment before revealing a mocking smile. "Only two? What a bunch of trash. Don't you know that those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre? Other than those two, everyone else, go run one hundred laps around the field!"

Good, good, good. I've been waiting for you to say that!

Lin Yun narrowed his eyes. His languid voice, carrying a trace of mockery, rang through the classroom like a thunderclap.

"What the hell are you barking about?"
