What was going on?
Weren't they supposed to be watching Yu Xiaogang from ten thousand years ago?
How had this suddenly become about them?
If Yu Xiaogang was the dark stain on Shrek's history, then what the Heavenly Curtain was about to show was the disgrace of the Shrek Academy of the present.
And just which teacher was the Heavenly Curtain calling an outrageous teacher?
Yu Xiaogang had egged on a Twin Martial Souls user to absorb a Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo and needed his own six-year-old disciple to rescue him from a Hundred-Year Soul Beast.
If this teacher's actions were even more outrageous than Yu Xiaogang's, what had he done to provoke such universal outrage?
It wasn't just Yan Shaozhe. Even Mu En, who was usually so gentle, had a sharp glint in his eyes.
Mu En had devoted his entire life to Shrek. He would never stand by and watch some teacher destroy the Shrek he treasured.
Xuan Zi, who had been gnawing on a chicken leg, silently set it down, his heart uneasy.
Compared with Mu En's anger, and Yan Shaozhe's shock and confusion, Xuan Zi felt mostly fear and dread.
He was worried that the outrageous teacher the Heavenly Curtain was talking about might be him.
After all, back then, he had led twelve core disciples from the inner courtyard to the Star Dou Forest to hunt Soul Beasts and obtain Soul Rings. With a Level 98 Super Douluo like him there to protect them,
they should have been able to withdraw safely, no matter how great the danger.
But because he'd been busy eating chicken legs, he had left the disciples to their own devices. By the time he remembered them,
they had already encountered a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Eight of them were dead.
Given this disastrous mistake, Xuan Zi strongly suspected that he was the one the Heavenly Curtain was calling outrageous.
For a moment, Xuan Zi grew uneasy.
The academy had gone to great lengths to bury the incident and protect his reputation. But if the Heavenly Curtain showed it now,
how could he possibly stay at Shrek and keep eating chicken legs?
Some were happy, while others were miserable.
Shrek's old rival, the Body Sect, was naturally delighted by its misfortune.
The Body Sect.
A burly man clad in green armor burst into laughter as he watched the video on the Heavenly Curtain.
"Hahaha! I knew it. Shrek Academy really is stupid beyond belief."
"Ten thousand years ago, there was some nobody who forced a genius disciple—someone with Innate Full Soul Power and Twin Martial Souls—to absorb a Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo."
"And now, ten thousand years later, they've got an even more outrageous teacher. Let's see just how outrageous this teacher really is!"
Ten thousand years ago.
After listening to the Heavenly Curtain, Flender, who had been arguing with Yu Xiaogang, abruptly looked up and stared at the dark screen.
Shrek Academy ten thousand years in the future?
He had never imagined that his Shrek Academy would endure for so long.
Unlike Yu Xiaogang, Flender cared more about the academy he had devoted his life's work to.
He wanted to know what Shrek Academy would become ten thousand years later—and what this outrageous teacher had done.
As everyone speculated about who this outrageous teacher might be,
the scene on the Heavenly Curtain began to scroll.
"That's right. The outrageous teacher hidden in Peerless Tang Sect is Huo Yuhao's first teacher, Zhou Yi."
"As everyone knows, Huo Yuhao had many teachers. Whether it was Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Electrolux, Mu En, or even Rong Nianbing, every one of them was a top-notch teacher."
"But Zhou Yi was the one exception. She was utterly revolting. If all the teachers at Shrek were like her, then the academy might as well close down."
Those words caused an uproar.
At Shrek Academy in Peerless Tang Sect's era,
Zhou Yi had been looking smug, but the moment she saw that the Heavenly Curtain was talking about her, her face changed.
At the same time, Yan Shaozhe and the others turned their attention to Zhou Yi, the person featured on the Heavenly Curtain.
In that moment, Zhou Yi's earlier arrogance and haughty airs vanished completely. Her face turned pale, and she repeated in disbelief,
"How can this be? How can this be? Who's Huo Yuhao? I don't even know that student."
Under everyone's gaze, Zhou Yi began to ramble incoherently.
Suddenly, she raised her voice and shouted,
"Right, there must be some mistake. The Heavenly Curtain can't be talking about me."
"I've had the highest advancement rate of any teacher for years. How could I be this outrageous teacher?"
"I've done so well. It can't be me!"
Like a drowning person clutching at the last straw, Zhou Yi looked pleadingly at Du Weilun.
"Isn't that right, Director Du?"
Du Weilun struggled under Zhou Yi's pleading gaze. In the end, he stammered,
"Uh... well, Teacher Zhou does have the highest advancement rate."
"What do you mean, a mistake? Do you think everyone's an idiot? The Heavenly Curtain judges these things based on the person's entire life. You don't know Huo Yuhao now, but are you saying you won't teach him in the future?"
Zhou Yi had just been publicly mocking Mu Jin, and now she was in this state. Add their earlier conflict to their old grudges, and Mu Jin's eyes flashed coldly as she piled on without mercy.
"Besides, there's only one teacher named Zhou Yi at Shrek Academy, isn't there?"
"And there's no point making excuses now. The Heavenly Curtain will show the evidence soon. Everyone will see for themselves whether it's true."
"Teacher Zhou, you don't need to get so worked up. Unless you've got something to hide?"
Seeing Mu Jin kick her while she was down, Zhou Yi grew even angrier and raised her voice again.
"Worked up? Am I worked up? My students have the highest advancement rate! I have a clear conscience!"
Her deliberately hoarse voice mingled with a shrill feminine pitch, making everyone's skin crawl.
As Zhou Yi tried to defend herself, the video on the Heavenly Curtain tore away her disguise.
"Everyone who's read the original novel knows that, whether it's Tang Ya and Bei Bei introducing Zhou Yi to Huo Yuhao or Huo Yuhao's first impression of her, she's described as a teacher who's extremely difficult to get along with and brutally strict in her training."
"She claimed that she deliberately made herself look like an old woman to maintain her authority in front of her students."
"I won't comment on that. Some teachers really do get picked on by their students because they look young."
"But what I want to talk about is Zhou Yi herself. At Shrek Academy, the advancement rate of the classes she taught was always high."
"Many people think it was because of her strict training and excellent teaching skills."
"Wrong. Completely wrong."
"The key to Zhou Yi's high advancement rate was expelling students!"
"How do you improve the advancement rate? Just expel the students who can't advance."
