The students in Class One felt deeply wounded. How ironic that a homeroom teacher who wasn't even theirs cared more about their safety than their own teacher did.
No wonder Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er had fought that old hag Zhou Yi. She really didn't take them seriously at all?
"Damn it, even two girls dared to take on that old hag. What the hell am I, a grown man, afraid of? I'm going to help you!"
"Brother, wait up! We're going together!"
"Me too!"
The students of Class One charged toward Zhou Yi of their own accord.
Mu Jin watched the students' impassioned reaction and tried to reason with Zhou Yi.
"Zhou Yi, you've seen how the students are reacting. After saying all that to them, can you really call yourself a teacher?"
"Hurry up and apologize to them!"
Zhou Yi didn't let Mu Jin down. She managed to make a complete mess of things.
"I already said it. I teach monsters, not idiots. If they got hit by my attacks, doesn't that just mean they're useless?"
"It'd be better for useless people like them to drop out sooner rather than later, instead of wasting my teaching efforts."
"You..." Mu Jin felt Zhou Yi was just being a bully. What kind of cultivation did Zhou Yi have, and what kind of cultivation did these students have?
"Zhou Yi, I'm warning you: stop adding fuel to the fire. Why not apologize and put this behind you?"
Zhou Yi was utterly arrogant. "Useless fools aren't worth an apology!"
"Take that old hag down!"
Fearless as ever, Zhou Yi continued to provoke the students. "If you're not afraid to die, come at me! Once I've beaten you all, I'll expel every one of you!"
Those words enraged the students all over again. Mu Jin rubbed her forehead. She really had tried her best to save the situation.
Zhou Yi had turned into a kindergarten battle queen, knocking down one little kid after another with a single punch.
Seeing their numbers dwindling rapidly, Huo Yuhao called out, "Qiu'er, Dong'er, let's join in!"
"Okay!" ×2
With three powerful fighters joining the fray, Zhou Yi's arrogant momentum was finally checked.
Huo Yuhao separated the Ice Snow Empress from himself and let her fight on her own. He stayed behind to direct the battle and released his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul.
First Soul Skill, Spirit Detection Sharing!
A detailed projection of the entire battlefield appeared in the minds of all the students present. They could clearly see everyone's position.
Whose divine skill was this? With this Soul Skill supporting them, the students gradually became more coordinated as time went on.
The tremendous commotion on the field also caught the attention of students from other classes and upper grades.
"Is that... Old Hag Zhou Yi?"
"What's she doing? Having a sparring match with her students?"
"Doesn't look like it. Look, Old Hag Zhou has even released her Soul Rings. If that white-haired beauty hadn't kept harassing her, I bet she would've used her Soul Skills."
"A teacher using Soul Skills against new students? That's ridiculous!"
"You haven't known her for just one day. She'd expel a student for being one second late. Why would this surprise you?"
"Looks like she's finally met her match today. These new students have some spirit!"
"Damn, I've hated her for a long time."
"Where are you going?"
"If even the junior students dare to stand up to her oppression, I'd be less than a man if I kept hiding like a coward!"
"Exactly! If our juniors dare to fight back, what are we seniors afraid of?"
"Take down Old Hag Zhou!"
And so, students from Grades Two, Three, Four, and Five who had suffered under Zhou Yi—or whose relatives she had expelled—rushed in together and joined the fight!
Zhou Yi was completely stunned. Where had all these people come from?
There were people in Grade Six whom Zhou Yi had directly or indirectly offended, too.
"Boss, should we join in?"
"Join in my ass. Don't you want to graduate?"
"Oh. So we're just going to stand here and watch?"
"Hmph. I never said we'd just watch. Tell our people to block the classroom doors of any teachers who try to go help Old Hag Zhou!"
The Grade Six students' eyes lit up. That made sense. Their juniors alone were more than enough to give Old Hag Zhou a hard time, and even if they joined in, they couldn't kill Zhou Yi.
Blocking the other teachers who wanted to help her and cutting off her support would be far more useful than joining the fight themselves.
"Let's go, brothers!"
With Huo Yuhao's Spirit Detection Sharing supporting them, the students from the other grades who joined the battle quickly fell into step. They had plenty of experience fighting as a team.
Zhou Yi had been unstoppable, crushing anyone who stood in her way. Now five grades of students had joined forces to surround her.
Little by little, she became like a stray dog by the roadside, trapped and beaten by the students.
From what Huo Yuhao could see, the one dealing Zhou Yi the most damage was that Lava Bro.
Judging by the color of his uniform, he was a fifth-year student.
He also had the highest cultivation on the field, radiating the aura of a peak Soul Ancestor.
"Zhou Yi, do you know how long I've waited for this day? Three years—three whole years!"
"I'll never forget the day you expelled my little brother as soon as he started school!"
Lava Bro's name was Sa Shi, and his Martial Soul was the lava found in nature.
He had a younger brother named Sa Hu, whom the old woman had personally expelled three years ago for failing to finish those damn hundred laps.
But how could that have been his brother's fault? His brother had been born premature and was frail to begin with.
On the first day of school, Sa Shi had even taken the day off to explain the situation to Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi had simply replied, "I understand!"
Only after his brother was expelled did Sa Shi understand what "I understand" had meant.
After three years, Sa Shi had finally found a chance to get revenge on the old woman. He wouldn't hold back.
Fourth Soul Skill, Volcanic Eruption!
Lava rose from Sa Shi's hands as he struck at Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi didn't even remember who he was, but after being hit by Sa Shi's lava again and again, she was truly enraged.
Even with the Ice Snow Empress interfering and preventing Zhou Yi from using her last two Soul Skills, she was still a Soul Emperor.
In the clash of their fourth Soul Skills, Zhou Yi came out on top, and Sa Shi was knocked to the ground.
"Don't let her follow up!"
A man and a woman, both four-ring Soul Masters—one with a vine Martial Soul and the other with a ring of light—used their Soul Skills to restrain Zhou Yi, freezing her in place.
Sa Shi, who had been lying on the ground, sprang up at some point. His arm wrapped in lava, he punched half of Zhou Yi's face apart.
With scalding lava covering half her face, Zhou Yi let out a bloodcurdling scream.
"Die!"
Driven into such a desperate situation, Zhou Yi's viciousness flared. Her gray dragon claw swung toward Sa Shi's neck.
Fortunately, a Soul Master with a golden-rope Martial Soul stepped in and helped Sa Shi dodge Zhou Yi's attack.
Touching the scalding half of her face, Zhou Yi shouted, "You insolent fools! You're all getting kicked out of Shrek Academy!"
"Why don't you take a look at your brand-new half-face first?" Sa Shi taunted her with a mocking expression.
"Everybody stop! Have you all lost your minds?"
