Compared to the gentle, admiring looks from the female students, the male students' eyes were filled with hostility and resentment.
They could not wait to have a huge fight with Chen Feng right then, hoping to catch the attention of the beautiful girls in class.
Chen Feng entered the classroom and casually found a seat near the back. Wu Yue, who had been completely ignored beside him, hurriedly sat down with him.
Not long after, several of Wu Yue's friends entered the classroom and took the seats behind him.
Just as the classroom had become a complete mess, a mature, young, beautiful female teacher stepped onto the podium. She was Stone, the homeroom teacher of Class Nine.
Seeing that the Teacher had arrived, the discussions in the classroom came to an abrupt stop. Students naturally felt a certain degree of awe toward teachers.
Compared to Zhou Yi, who liked to establish her authority by expelling students who talked back, Stone's teaching style was much gentler.
Chen Feng was clearly not interested in listening to the Teacher's lecture. He silently practiced fusing Soul Power and Spiritual Power. He had only just begun on this path; whether in terms of condensation speed or refinement, his fusion of Soul Power and Spiritual Power was still far from sufficient. He needed much more practice.
Standing on the podium, Stone was pleased to see that her students had quieted down after she arrived. Her gaze swept across the class before lingering on the two Soul Elder students.
Stone said, "My name is Stone, and I am your homeroom teacher. I know that among your peers, you can absolutely be called Geniuses. But at Shrek Academy, Geniuses are the least valuable thing.
"I am now going to tell you a cruel fact. In the Freshman Assessment three months from now, Shrek Academy will eliminate more than half, perhaps even two-thirds, of the New Students."
At the mention of the word Genius, most of the students looked rather proud. If they had not possessed outstanding talent, how could they have entered Shrek Academy to study?
But when these new students heard that more than half of the freshmen would be eliminated, aside from a small number with steady temperaments, most of the class showed a trace of horror in their eyes. Eliminating more than half of the New Students was simply an astonishing ratio.
Seeing that the students below had been intimidated, Stone struck while the iron was hot. "Three months from now, less than one-third of Shrek Academy's first-year New Students will be able to remain and continue studying here. But I hope that more than two-thirds of Freshman Class Nine can stay. Do you have confidence?"
"Yes!!"
Seeing the students' high spirits, Stone smiled in satisfaction. "Confidence alone is not enough. You also need hard work..."
Stone thoroughly fired up Freshman Class Nine before beginning the lesson.
Stone said, "Chen Feng."
Hearing Stone call his name, Chen Feng stopped cultivating and slowly rose to his feet.
"I have reviewed your entrance assessment results. Among all of you, Chen Feng has the highest cultivation. From now on, he will be the Class Monitor of Freshman Class Nine. Shrek Academy has always promoted those with ability.
"The position of Class Monitor is not fixed. Whoever is capable of defeating Chen Feng may replace him. But let me remind you, Chen Feng has the cultivation of a Soul Elder. Before challenging him, you had best first weigh your own strength."
"A Soul Elder?!"
The moment Stone finished speaking, the spacious classroom, which had just quieted down, erupted into chaos once more.
Everyone's gaze toward Chen Feng changed instantly.
No matter how limited their knowledge was, they understood what it meant to become a Soul Elder at such an age.
Talent, effort, resources... none could be lacking.
The female students' gazes toward Chen Feng became tender as water, while the male students who had previously shown some hostility toward him instinctively avoided his eyes.
However, some stubborn students still questioned Chen Feng's strength.
Soul Power cultivation did not necessarily represent combat strength, especially among Soul Masters below level thirty. Since they had been able to come study at Shrek Academy, their Martial Souls could not be weak.
Watching those eager male students beside him, Wu Yue silently prayed for them. He knew exactly how strong Chen Feng was. Recalling the beating he had received in the dormitory, Wu Yue still felt lingering fear.
That was absolutely not strength an ordinary Soul Elder could possess. Even the Shrek Academy Teacher who had come to inspect the dormitory at the time had been unable to see through Chen Feng's methods.
What frightened Wu Yue most was that this was only what Chen Feng had revealed. What he had yet to reveal was probably even more terrifying.
Chen Feng had little interest in the position of Class Monitor. What was the point of becoming the leader of a bunch of kids?
But refusing would be somewhat disrespectful to Stone, his nominal homeroom teacher. Besides, being Class Monitor did not seem to require much work, so he might as well accept it.
Chen Feng looked at the several eager male students and curled his lips in faint disdain.
Chen Feng swept his gaze around the room and said, "I do not have that much time to play challenge games with you."
Hearing Chen Feng's words, the male students of Class Nine thought he was scared, and they could not help looking down on him.
But what Chen Feng said next immediately enraged them.
Chen Feng's magnetic voice spread through the entire classroom. His domineering words struck like thunder, leaving everyone dumbfounded. Chen Feng said, "All male students who refuse to accept this can come at me together. I'll beat all of you into submission at once!!!"
The entire class immediately exploded.
What had they just heard?!
One person against all the male students?
At once, every male student was furious. Chen Feng was simply not taking them seriously. How could they tolerate that?
Only Wu Yue and the few others who had suffered Chen Feng's torment in the dormitory remained silent.
They thought, It cannot be only us who get beaten up. You should have a taste too...
Compared to the anger of the male students, the female students nearly swooned when they heard Chen Feng's words.
So domineering, so handsome!
"Class Monitor, you're so handsome!!!"
"What incredible presence!"
Some even blinked their large eyes at Chen Feng.
Seeing the situation immediately spiral out of control, Stone slapped the podium and shouted, "Quiet down! All of you, quiet!!"
Hearing Stone's words, the class finally quieted down. But the indignation in the male students' eyes and the sparkle in the female students' eyes could not be erased.
Stone sighed and said, "Chen Feng, are you sure you want to do this?"
Chen Feng smiled and answered honestly, "Teacher, among people my age, no one is my opponent. Against them, I would not even need to use my full strength."
"Teacher, we've decided to fight him today!!"
"Teacher, I want to fight him! Let's see how this Chen Feng plans to take down all the boys in Class Nine by himself!"
