Is the Teacher Your Relative?

Huh?

The students in the classroom were all stunned!

What kind of teacher was this?!

The student who got beaten had to run laps, while the one who did the beating got off without a single consequence?!

This seriously challenged everything they believed in. They simply could not understand the way this teacher's mind worked!

Jiang Ming glanced at Yao Haoxuan as he ran out of the classroom, then looked at the teacher on the podium, equally dumbfounded.

He had thought he would receive some kind of punishment, but this teacher had handled it like this!

Hiss—

It made no sense!

Even Jiang Ming, the one who had hit someone, thought it made no sense. The others in the classroom were naturally even more shocked!

Beside Jiang Ming, Dai Yueheng looked at him and the teacher on the podium in confusion. He tentatively asked in a low voice,

"Jiang Ming, is this teacher your relative?"

For the moment, that was the only relatively reasonable explanation Dai Yueheng could think of. Otherwise, there was simply no way to explain this!

Jiang Ming shook his head. He had always lived in Clear Water City, a border city of the Heaven Dou Empire. Besides, if he had connections at the school, Old Nie should have told him.

"What are you making all that noise for?! Now, everyone except Jiang Ming, get out and run laps! One hundred laps around Shrek Plaza! Anyone who fails to finish will be expelled immediately!"

The moment Zhou Yi said this, the entire classroom exploded!

Especially the few students who had been watching the drama from the sidelines. Now that it had suddenly landed on them, they immediately protested!

"Why?! Teacher, we didn't fight, and we weren't beaten without fighting back! Why do we have to run too?!"

With someone taking the lead, the other students in the class began protesting as well.

As Zhou Yi watched the classroom on the verge of boiling over, she said nothing and directly unleashed her Martial Soul!

The next moment, a terrifying aura rose from her body and enveloped the entire classroom!

Two yellow, two purple, and one black—five soul rings slowly rose from beneath her feet. The Soul Power Fluctuation of a Soul King instantly suppressed the protesting students!

"A Soul King?"

Feeling the pressure bearing down on him, Jiang Ming frowned slightly. He wanted to unleash his Martial Soul, but after thinking it over, he decided against it. She was a teacher, after all. It would not be good if they started fighting.

Although a Soul King was powerful, the pressure on Jiang Ming was not actually that great.

His Golden Heart Martial Soul was naturally adapted to this kind of pressure. Combined with his Level 38 Soul Power, though he would still be suppressed when facing a Soul King, compared to the others in the classroom, it was almost as if he was not being suppressed at all.

"Hm?"

Seeing Jiang Ming still standing there calmly, without even the slightest change in expression, Zhou Yi felt a trace of surprise—but even more delight!

In her very first year of coming from the Inner Court to teach in the Outer Court, she had actually encountered such a promising talent!

"Why aren't you running yet?! You only have two hours! This is your first assessment after enrolling. Those who pass may remain for now. Those who fail can go handle their withdrawal procedures."

Zhou Yi said indifferently.

Hearing this, how could the students dare waste any more time? They hurried out of the classroom and began running around the field.

As a teacher who had come out of Shrek Academy's Inner Court, her teaching philosophy was very different from that of the other Outer Court teachers. Even compared to the other Outer Court teachers who had come from the Inner Court, her methods were different.

In her eyes, this was Shrek Academy, and these students were Soul Masters!

What Soul Masters would face in the future was battle! One battle after another! They would be injured, seriously injured, and might even die!

Under such circumstances, these students had to be taught strictly! Every bit of leniency in teaching was irresponsibility toward their futures!

The students might not understand now, but that was fine. Once they pulled ahead of other Soul Masters in strength, they would understand.

After all the other students in the classroom had left, only Zhou Yi and Jiang Ming remained.

"Come here."

Standing on the podium, Zhou Yi beckoned Jiang Ming over.

Jiang Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, nodded, and walked toward the podium.

As he approached, he quietly circulated his Soul Power and adjusted his body to its optimal state!

He knew this was Shrek Academy, and he knew the person before him was a teacher, but he instinctively did it anyway. This habit, forged through countless beatings, could not be changed.

"Teacher, is there something you need?"

Jiang Ming asked with a smile.

Zhou Yi looked at Jiang Ming and nodded in satisfaction.

"All right, no need to be so guarded. I'm your teacher, not your enemy. I'm not going to attack you. Relax."

She could tell what state Jiang Ming was in. It was a state in which he could attack at any moment!

Generally speaking, even among Shrek Academy students, such vigilance was usually only seen in Inner Court students.

Yet this new student before her possessed it as well!

Remarkable!

Zhou Yi marveled inwardly.

"Mm, all right."

Jiang Ming smiled and relaxed slightly, but his body remained in a state where he could act at any time.

Seeing this, Zhou Yi could only sigh helplessly. She knew the child would not listen to her right now, so she gave up on it.

"Why did you hit Yao Haoxuan?"

Zhou Yi had already gained some understanding of the new students in the class over this period of time, but Jiang Ming's fight with Yao Haoxuan had taken place beneath the new students' Dormitory Building.

They had only just enrolled, and no one had told her about it.

Jiang Ming met Zhou Yi's gaze directly. With Soul Power, Soul Masters developed much faster than ordinary people. On top of that, Jiang Ming's Golden Heart Martial Soul enhanced his body, so despite being only Twelve Years Old, he was already as tall as Zhou Yi.

"His mouth was foul, and his hands were restless. I taught him a lesson."

Short and to the point. He did not elaborate, nor was there any need to.

"I see."

Zhou Yi raised an eyebrow, gaining a deeper understanding of Jiang Ming.

She keenly sensed that this fellow would become a troublemaker in the future!

But that did not matter. This was Shrek—Shrek Academy!

As the continent's number one Soul Master Academy, there was no troublemaker it could not handle!

Zhou Yi looked at Jiang Ming and said softly,

"Fighting is a good thing for new students. You know, no fight, no friendship. It's normal for Soul Masters to fight each other. But if your classmates haven't actively provoked you, I'd still prefer that you go fight students from other classes. It's better to point the spear outward. As long as you don't bully the weak, cripple anyone, or kill anyone, the academy will not interfere with fights. It doesn't violate the school rules."

Jiang Ming's eyes lit up when he heard that!

Fighting did not violate the school rules? Now that was interesting!

"Oh, right, Jiang Ming. I saw on your information form that your Martial Soul is the Golden Heart? Is it a heart?"

Zhou Yi suddenly asked.

If it was a heart, then Jiang Ming had a Body Martial Soul!

Body Martial Souls had one characteristic: the importance of the Martial Soul to the body determined its strength!

There was no need to explain how important the heart was to the body. It was one of the true cores of the human body!

If that part served as a Martial Soul, then its strength would be among the very best of all Body Martial Souls!
