"Just those two?"

Zhou Yi's gaze swept across the entire classroom. The authority in her voice made everyone too afraid to raise their heads.

"What a bunch of trash. Don't you know that a Soul Master who doesn't dare to cause trouble isn't a good Soul Master?"

Zhou Yi sneered. After saying something no one had expected, she ordered, "Now, all of you, get outside and run. Whoever falls behind and fails to complete one hundred laps will be expelled!"

The moment she said this, not only were those who had remained seated stunned, but even Wang Dong wore a look of disbelief.

He had thought that he and Li Changsheng would be punished by their new homeroom teacher. He never would have dreamed things would develop this way.

Honestly, this homeroom teacher was really something else. No wonder the upperclassmen called her the Old Witch.

"Why?"

"Yeah, why should we be punished just because we didn't fight?"

"We refuse to accept this!"

Once one person spoke up, others followed suit. After all, who among those admitted here wasn't a prodigy in the outside world?

And yet, on the very first day of school, before they had even done anything, they were being told to run one hundred laps around the field. Who the hell could accept that?

"Refuse to accept it? Heh. If you don't accept it, go complain to the dean! As long as you're in my class, I make the rules!"

Zhou Yi raised a hand and adjusted her glasses. Then an incomparably powerful aura erupted from her body.

Immediately afterward, six Soul Rings—two yellow, two purple, and two black, representing the Soul Emperor realm—appeared beneath her feet out of thin air.

"A Soul Emperor?"

"Our homeroom teacher is actually a Soul Emperor? That's unbelievable!"

"Why are you still standing there? Remember, you only have one shichen. If you don't finish, you know the consequences!"

Zhou Yi reminded them sternly.

Hearing this, everyone except Wang Dong and Li Changsheng rushed outside without the slightest hesitation.

Only after everyone had left did Zhou Yi curl a finger at the two of them, signaling for them to come before her.

"Tell me. What exactly happened?"

Looking at the two boys before her, Zhou Yi nodded in satisfaction.

In all her years of teaching, this was the first time she had encountered someone who dared to fight within these three days.

"I didn't like the look of him, so I fought him," Li Changsheng answered first.

"You didn't like the look of me? That should be my line!" Wang Dong turned his head and said angrily.

He had already honored their bet and called this bastard Dad, yet the bastard turned around and said he didn't like the look of him. Where was the justice in that?

"Heh. If you weren't so arrogant and full of yourself, how could this have happened?" Li Changsheng snorted disdainfully.

"You!"

Wang Dong wanted to say more, but Zhou Yi raised a hand to stop him. "Enough. A fight between roommates is no big deal. At the very least, it can push each other to improve."

After saying that, she began explaining some of Shrek Academy's rules to them.

Even throughout Shrek Academy, fighting was encouraged. Whether it was between upperclassmen, lowerclassmen, or even lowerclassmen challenging upperclassmen, it was allowed.

There was only one condition: no one could die.

"That's all. Go out and run."

"Huh? We still have to run? Didn't you just say we fought well?" Wang Dong was confused, unable to process it for a moment.

"And? I never said I'd reward you by letting you skip the run." Zhou Yi smiled as she answered Wang Dong's question in a perfectly matter-of-fact tone.

"Then may I ask what your reason is for doing this, Teacher? Do you simply want us to run?"

Wang Dong was left speechless, but that did not mean Li Changsheng was willing to back down. He retorted, "If you make us go out and run too, won't the people who went out earlier think they were lucky not to have fought these past few days? Under normal circumstances, who would start fighting during their first few days after enrollment? They can't just make trouble for no reason or pick someone at random to fight, can they?"

"Exactly, exactly! This is way too unreasonable!" Wang Dong nodded, showing his complete agreement.

He did not really care whether he had to run alongside everyone else, but surely they could not do things like this.

Wasn't this basically treating the two of them like Evil Soul Masters?

"So? What do you think should be done?"

A flash of surprise crossed Zhou Yi's eyes. She clearly had not expected a freshman to dare argue with her.

"I'm sure you understand better than I do, since the reason you gave was not anything else, but the fact that they didn't fight."

Li Changsheng smiled faintly and asked, "So, they should learn that there are both rewards and punishments. Otherwise, fighting means running, and not fighting also means running. If that's the case, then if you were in their position, what would you choose?"

Although he disliked Zhou Yi's way of handling things, he would not be under her for long anyway. As long as it did not affect him, what did anyone else have to do with him?

"Good kid. You're the first student in all these years who has dared question me to my face!"

Zhou Yi chuckled. Intrigued, she said, "I hope you won't disappoint me in the future!"

"Come outside!"

With that, she took the lead and walked out of the classroom.

Li Changsheng and Wang Dong quickly followed behind her.

"Impressive. You actually managed to do that!"

On the way to the field, Wang Dong could not help giving the boy beside him a thumbs-up.

If it had been him, he definitely would not have been able to say something like that.

"It was nothing. My good son, learn well by my side. There'll be plenty of benefits for you in the future!" Li Changsheng said with a grin.

"You're taking advantage of me again. Can you stop bringing that up?"

Wang Dong gritted his teeth. If he had not been unable to beat Li Changsheng, and if Zhou Yi had not been there, he would have beaten Li Changsheng into a pig's head long ago.

As time passed, quite a few people had already completed the test of one hundred laps.

But there were always exceptions, such as Huo Yuhao, who did not have the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm helping him.

"That guy probably won't make it."

Not only had Li Changsheng noticed, but Wang Dong beside him also narrowed his eyes and asked, "Teacher Zhou, how did he get into Shrek Academy? Logically speaking, a student who could enter Shrek Academy shouldn't fail something like this."
