Zhou Yi Arrived, Zhou Yi Fled

The next day.

Beneath the first rays of the morning sun, Lin Yun woke from sleep. After giving the soft, fragrant Little Girl in his arms a vigorous squeeze, he finally got up to wash.

The bleary-eyed Ice Empress also reverted to her tiny scorpion form, barely over a dozen centimeters long. She flew up and landed on Lin Yun's shoulder.

While Lin Yun was brushing his teeth, the emerald-green tail that swayed with Ice Empress's breathing suddenly paused. Her body tilted slightly, as if she were receiving some information.

"What is it?" Lin Yun turned his head to glance at Ice Empress and asked casually.

After a moment of silence, Ice Empress answered respectfully, "Honored One, the human you asked Myriad Demon King to find has been located. Myriad Demon King has already brought him to Shrek City."

"Hm? He's already been found?" Lin Yun's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands together impatiently.

"Good, good, good. It's been nearly a week, but we finally found that idiot. Tell Myriad Demon King to treat him well for now. I'll go see him personally when I have the time!"

"Yes!"

Having beaten up that simp turtle yesterday, Lin Yun had already been in high spirits. Hearing this good news so early in the morning put him in an even better mood.

He was even humming as he walked.

"Ji ji ji ji~ bai bai bai bai bai..."

When Lin Yun's iconic dazzling golden hair appeared before the students of New Student Class One, the previously noisy classroom suddenly fell silent.

Three seconds later, everyone began applauding with all their strength.

If Lin Yun were an opponent, he truly could drive people to despair. But as a classmate, having him among them filled them with pride!

Whenever the students of New Student Class One walked through the Outer Academy now, they held their heads high. Don't ask why—your class simply didn't have someone as badass as Boss Lin!

Lin Yun was startled by the sudden applause. After giving the people around him a baffled look, he returned to his own throne.

"You've really become famous!" Xiao Xiao said with a quiet smile.

Yet there was a hint of resentment in her gaze. She had gone to watch Lin Yun's fight with Xu Sanshi last night, but when the battle ended and she wanted to find Lin Yun, she discovered that she could not even squeeze through the crowd. All she could do was watch as Lin Yun was surrounded by a group of gaudily dressed women and taken away.

The pain of being one and a half meters tall! Sad.

"It's just an empty reputation, nothing worth mentioning." Lin Yun waved his hand, utterly unconcerned.

He had merely beaten up a native simp turtle without any cheats. How was that any different from fighting a child? The real heavyweight plan was only just beginning.

Xiao Xiao pouted, utterly speechless at Lin Yun's humblebragging.

You called the reputation of beating up the Class Teacher on the first day of school, beating up a talented sixth-year senior, and earning the title of Strongest Freshman King less than half a month after enrollment empty fame?

Xiao Xiao's already adorably muddled mind instantly overloaded, and her CPU was practically burning out.

But why does he feel even more attractive like this? Xiao Xiao blinked, her eyes fixed on Lin Yun's profile in the sunlight.

Xiao Xiao was not the only one. The other girls in Class 1 were no better, their burning gazes making it seem as though they were about to pounce on Lin Yun at any moment.

A certain ignored goose gritted her teeth.

He was clearly handsome too! Why was no one looking at him? Why were they all looking at Lin Yun instead?

But after thinking of Lin Yun's record, the goose could only lower her head and put away her little pride.

No, this young la—this young master was a Twin Martial Souls genius. He would not lose to that annoying bastard!

The goose waved his little fist, then subconsciously glanced at Huo Yuhao, who was resting with his eyes closed on the other side of the classroom. He knew all too well how hardworking this roommate of his was. If he could work as hard as Huo Yuhao, he would probably have become a Soul Elder long ago.

I still need to keep working hard. Time to grind!

Lin Yun had no idea that a certain lazy mutt had actually resolved to cultivate seriously after being stimulated by him.

At that moment, he was propping up his chin as he began plotting his evil plan. This plan would draw in a large portion of the powerful figures currently active outside Shrek Academy!

Hehehehe~

Tap, tap, tap...

A somewhat familiar set of footsteps rang out. Before long, Zhou Yi walked into the classroom.

This was the second time she had entered Class 1. The first time, she had been sent flying by Lin Yun's punch the moment she entered. This time, she had clearly learned her lesson and did not immediately put on that arrogant scowl.

However, when her gaze swept over Lin Yun, there was still some resentment in her eyes, along with a faint trace of fear.

Dragon's Might was no decoration, especially for an idiot like Zhou Yi who had been brutally beaten by Lin Yun. When she faced Lin Yun again, Dragon's Might made her recall the majesty of a king!

This was far more useful than Mu En's Sovereign's Descent. If Lin Yun strutted around in front of Zhou Yi a few more times, Dragon's Might might even brainwash this old hag into becoming his foot-washing maid.

When Zhou Yi returned to Class 1, she unexpectedly felt at a loss as to where to begin. Her former teaching methods had always involved using force to suppress people first, then slowly training them. Gradually, she would expel those she disliked and keep the obedient students who met her standards.

Now that Class 1 had a steel nail like Lin Yun lodged in it, if she dared to stomp down again, her foot would certainly be pierced clean through.

But if she did not use her former teaching methods, Zhou Yi had no idea how to teach students at all.

At this point, Zhou Yi could only adopt the teaching methods used by other teachers: theoretical lessons in the morning and physical training in the afternoon. And even during that physical training, she could not pull any tricks.

Being forced to educate students with the "traditional teaching methods" she had once looked down upon made her feel unbearably stifled. By the end of the day's lessons, Zhou Yi practically fled in disgrace with a face as dark as iron.

Watching Zhou Yi's bedraggled retreating figure, Lin Yun let out a derisive laugh.

This was only the beginning, old hag. You had plenty of suffering ahead of you!

After dinner, Lin Yun did not return to the dormitory. Instead, he left through Shrek's main gate, went from the east gate to the south gate, and entered Shrek City.

With Ice Empress guiding him, Lin Yun easily wound through streets and alleys before arriving at a very secluded alleyway. He entered an unremarkable little house.

"Honored One!" Myriad Demon King had been waiting for a long time. The instant Lin Yun entered, he dropped to one knee in salute.

Ice Empress also transformed back into the Little Girl and knelt beside Myriad Demon King.

"Rise." Lin Yun smiled faintly, then looked toward a young man in the room who appeared rather carefree. His brows furrowed slightly.

This was bad!

He had thought that his looks were already unrivaled across the Douluo Continent, yet an ordinary man without even a trace of Soul Power could actually rival him in appearance!

"You... are Qingye?" Lin Yun stared at the idiot writer before him and asked in a deep voice.

Qingye stood from his chair with a smile, cupped his fists toward Lin Yun, and bowed.

"Indeed, that would be me!"
