Xuanyuan Sword and Xuanyuan Sheng

If a beautiful girl with bright eyes and pearly teeth, possessing a face that could launch a thousand ships, were to pin you against a wall and tearfully beg you for a chance.

And if she threatened to force a kiss on you unless you agreed.

Would you be willing to take the initiative?

Unfortunately, the person blocking Xuanyuan Sheng at this moment was not a beautiful girl.

"Xuanyuan Sheng, I am giving you a chance."

The languid youth was walking down the path when he was blocked by an old woman with skin like chicken skin and hair like crane feathers.

Xuanyuan Sheng raised his eyes from beneath his bangs, and upon seeing the visitor, he couldn't help but sigh: "Old lady, I'm actually still a child. At most, I can accept a relationship with an older woman, but someone like you... sigh."

He didn't want to be too harsh with his words.

Ever since he reincarnated into this Douluo Jueshi world, being cornered in small groves by people of his age or slightly older to confess their love had become a common occurrence.

But being blocked by an old woman who was clearly several decades his senior made his fragile little heart unable to handle it.

Black lines appeared on Zhou Yi's forehead, but her tone remained confident: "I am the teacher of Class One, Zhou Yi. I know you are the younger brother of Zhang Lexuan, and even your Martial Soul, the Xuanyuan Sword, is extraordinary. But if you truly enter Class Nine, your future achievements will only be mediocre."

Hearing Zhou Yi reveal her identity, Xuanyuan Sheng let out a visible sigh of relief.

So it was the city-defending war god Zhou Yi. What was she babbling about? Would she dare to walk outside the city walls all by herself?

At least it wasn't the kind of situation he had feared.

Seeing Xuanyuan Sheng distracted, Zhou Yi's hoarse and unpleasant voice appeared in his ears again: "This concerns your life's major events; are you really so indifferent?"

Xuanyuan Sheng waved his hand dismissively: "Ma'am, students who can enter Shrek are at least Soul Emperors in the future. There's no need to worry too much about life's major events."

Hearing his words, Zhou Yi's face turned green, and she said sternly: "This is Shrek, a school exclusively for monsters. How can you be worthy of this place with such a lack of ambition?"

"Not worthy of this place?" A giant question mark appeared over Xuanyuan Sheng's head: "Ma'am, you've only known me for a few seconds and you're already defining me? Doesn't getting to know someone require spending time together?"

Zhou Yi scanned him calmly: "The people I need to cultivate are true monsters. Getting to know them is not my job. As for the others, I only need to send them back."

Seeing the old woman looking so righteous, Xuanyuan Sheng was speechless. Cultivating true monsters? Did she think she was a Limit Douluo?

He looked at Zhou Yi: "Are you the teacher of Class Nine?"

Zhou Yi said indifferently: "No."

"Then what are you yapping about!"

Xuanyuan Sheng turned and left. He had thought this old woman had come to teach in Class Nine due to some plot change.

He thought as much; as a mere Soul Emperor, no matter how many connections she had, she couldn't possibly overstep her authority to recruit from Class One to Class Nine. It was a total waste of time.

"You... I am the teacher with the highest advancement rate in all of Shrek. You will regret this."

Zhou Yi couldn't believe that on such a golden path to success, any student would refuse.

But the back that was walking away did not turn around, continuing on its own way.

Hearing the harsh words Zhou Yi shouted from behind, Xuanyuan Sheng was full of disdain. With her high success rate achieved by reducing the base number of students, it was a waste of talent that Shrek didn't have her managing the ledgers.

If she only wanted monsters, what was the point of Shrek? Why not just recruit the few people with the highest talent and be done with it?

He had been in this world for many years, and this was the first time he had seen someone so shameless.

Martial Soul Xuanyuan Sword, Soul Power Level 47, and still young.

With this setup, even if a dog were to teach him, he would eventually become a Titled Douluo, let alone her, this female version of Yu Xiaogang.

However, he had been in the first year for less than an hour, and for Zhou Yi to accurately track his location, she did have some skill.

Xuanyuan Sheng spun a small sword in his hand.

The golden blade was surrounded by bronze inscriptions, one side depicting the sun, moon, and stars, the other mountains, rivers, and vegetation, faintly revealing the majesty of the Sword of the Holy Path.

The radiance emanating from the blade enveloped Xuanyuan Sheng entirely; if one didn't see him with their own eyes, it would be impossible to detect a single piece of information about him.

The destiny of humanity disrupted the heavenly secrets, making it impossible even for a God King to investigate him. This was why Xuanyuan Sheng thought it was impressive that Zhou Yi could find him just by catching a hint of his presence.

As for accommodation.

Xuanyuan Sheng put away his Martial Soul and took out a pass token given to him by a certain Dean. Although it could only be used for specific locations, it was enough.

The place he was heading to was the private villa of the Inner Court's senior sister. As for accommodation, one could only say it was the greatest test of one's life; anyone who had experienced group living would certainly understand.

Behind Xuanyuan Sheng.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Sheng had truly left, the expression on Zhou Yi's face was no longer calm; instead, it showed a look of terror.

A voice rang out in her mind.

[Bonding mission failed: Current favorability -30]

The number in front of her changed from 0 to -30, and Zhou Yi felt that the situation was not looking good.

[Penalty received: Appearance aged by 30 years (Dear, this is calculated based on an ordinary person (ಡωಡ))]

The content of this voice filled her with fear. Just before this, when the voice first appeared in her mind, it had gifted her a starter pack.

After she opened that pack, she had obtained the teaching knowledge of Yu Xiaogang, who had founded the teaching experience for Shrek ten thousand years ago.

At that time, Zhou Yi had been overjoyed to bind with it; after all, if even the knowledge of Shrek's original ancestors could be gifted so easily, what else could it not do?

Possessing the knowledge of Yu Xiaogang, Zhou Yi naturally looked forward to the moment she could apply this wisdom to her students.

But it was precisely at that moment that the thing in her mind released a mission.

[Perfect Teacher System mission released]

[Find Xuanyuan Sheng, become his teacher, and settle rewards based on the increase in favorability.]

[Mission failure: Settled based on favorability]

[Xuanyuan Sheng's current favorability: 0]

Upon seeing this mission, Zhou Yi felt that the rewards behind it were practically being handed to her for free; she had now acquired the teaching experience of the Grandmaster, the very man who had personally cultivated a god.

What little monster wouldn't want to receive her guidance and become the next Sea God?

As for the name Xuanyuan Sheng, she had heard it from the lips of Zhang Lexuan, so she assumed the little guy wouldn't refuse her request to transfer classes.

Thus, she wandered around the first-year area and finally spotted the little guy.

She, Zhou Yi, had never lowered her pride to invite a student like this; it was a rare opportunity she was granting him.

Yet, who could have known that the little guy would be so disrespectful? The moment he saw her, his favorability changed.

[Favorability: -30 (Disgust)]

At that moment, Zhou Yi was burning with anxiety, but she knew that if she lost the dignity of a teacher, she would no longer be worthy of being one.

Who would have thought that the guy would be so heartless and turn to leave without a second thought?

She was a teacher who had integrated the pedagogical knowledge of both ancient and modern times; without her instruction, no matter how much he grew, he would never reach the pinnacle.

Just as Zhou Yi was still standing in place, fuming with anger.

The penalty for the Perfect Teacher System mission failure began to manifest on her face.
