Shrek Academy's Must-Do Activity

Peerless Tang Sect. Yan Shaozhe, who had initially wondered whether Zhou Yi's high promotion rate hid something fishy, exploded the moment he heard the Heavenly Curtain's announcement.

Yan Shaozhe's eyes narrowed. His face seemed calm, but his gaze fixed on Zhou Yi like a keen blade.

"Teacher Zhou Yi, is what the Heavenly Curtain said true?"

Yan Shaozhe's tone was calm, but every teacher present felt their heart tremble.

They knew that Dean Yan of the Martial Soul Department was truly angry.

At that moment, Zhou Yi still hadn't recovered from her shock and fear.

After all, as far as she was concerned, she had merely expelled a few students who wouldn't behave. That was perfectly normal.

Besides, thanks to her high promotion rate, she was about to earn a senior-level title.

What had she done wrong?

So she genuinely couldn't understand why the Heavenly Curtain was accusing her.

Suddenly, Zhou Yi, still in a daze, felt the bone-chilling cold in Yan Shaozhe's eyes.

Under the pressure of a Titled Douluo, an emotion called fear crept into Zhou Yi's heart.

However, she quickly steadied herself.

She could act so brazenly at Shrek Academy because she had the backing for it: her husband would become the dean of Shrek Academy's Soul Tool Department.

Expelling a few students was a trivial matter that wouldn't hurt her at all.

At the thought, Zhou Yi's panicked heart gradually settled. She forced a smile and defended herself:

"Dean Yan, I admit I've expelled a teeny-tiny number of students, but every one of them had done something wrong."

"Expelling bad students who violated Shrek Academy's rules is all for the academy's sake!"

"Director Du, don't you agree?"

Suddenly, Zhou Yi called Du Weilun out from where he was hiding in the crowd.

At the same time, Yan Shaozhe's gaze turned to him.

Du Weilun felt his heart sink.

He knew Zhou Yi had been expelling students, but because of her status, as director of education he could only turn a blind eye and let it slide.

Who could have guessed that the Heavenly Curtain would broadcast what Zhou Yi had done?

Wasn't he finished?

After weighing the pros and cons several times, Du Weilun finally made up his mind.

Forcing down his unease, he said, "Teacher Zhou's methods are certainly decisive. Her students even gave her the nickname Extinction Shitai."

That's right. Du Weilun chose to play dumb. He neither exposed her nor took the blame for her.

After all, Zhou Yi had relied on her husband's influence and gone over his head to expel students.

Even if the Heavenly Curtain showed it later, he wouldn't be responsible.

"Is that so?"

Yan Shaozhe's expression softened slightly.

He thought it over. Zhou Yi was just an ordinary teacher. How many students could she possibly have the authority to expel?

Perhaps the Heavenly Curtain had gotten it wrong this time, or maybe it was just nitpicking and deliberately smearing Shrek.

Seeing Yan Shaozhe's expression change, Zhou Yi let out a sigh of relief, thinking the matter had passed.

But the next second, the footage playing on the Heavenly Curtain shattered every last bit of her hope and wishful thinking.

"Zhou Yi was just an ordinary teacher at Shrek, with decidedly average strength. How did she manage to expel so many students and raise her promotion rate?"

It was as if the Heavenly Curtain had been keeping a constant eye on Yan Shaozhe and Zhou Yi.

The instant a question arose in Yan Shaozhe's mind, the answer came.

"Zhou Yi herself is useless, but her husband is a big shot in Shrek Academy's Soul Tool Department. With that connection, Teacher Zhou can expel whoever she wants."

"Relying on her husband Fan Yu's standing at Shrek, she expelled all the students with a weak foundation."

"Of course the ones left were top students, so her promotion rate naturally went up."

"I can only call this behavior despicable. She doesn't deserve to be a teacher."

The scene shifted, and portraits of Yu Xiaogang and Zhou Yi appeared on the Heavenly Curtain.

"Although I've always been bashing Yu Xiaogang, I have to admit that Zhou Yi's despicable behavior is worse than Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang's."

"Sure, Yu Xiaogang spends all day clinging to his pathetic Ten Core Theories of Martial Souls, hoping to prove himself by teaching a disciple."

"But during all those years at Notting College, Yu Xiaogang didn't harm the ordinary students there."

At Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang froze. The corners of his mouth began twitching involuntarily.

Was that supposed to be praise?

Why did it sound so strange?

Beside Yu Xiaogang, Flender had lost his smile the moment the Heavenly Curtain exposed Zhou Yi.

At first, when he learned that the Shrek Academy he had founded would continue for ten thousand years, he had been thrilled and excited.

But after seeing Zhou Yi's outrageous behavior, Flender's face darkened.

He couldn't believe that the Shrek Academy he had founded had a teacher with such poor ethics.

If you didn't want to take them, then don't. But after accepting them, you turned around and expelled them.

Was that any way to take responsibility?

Soon, the Heavenly Curtain showed Zhou Yi forcing Huo Yuhao and the other new students to run.

In the scene, Zhou Yi, a Six-Ring Soul Emperor, directed her imposing aura at a group of students who were only eleven or twelve years old.

"Everyone, run a hundred laps around Shrek Square. Anyone who can't finish within an hour will be expelled."

"If anyone thinks I'm bluffing, go ahead and test me."

"You can ask around. I've expelled plenty of students."

"I'm telling you, if I want to expel you from the academy, all it takes is a single word."

Zhou Yi on the Heavenly Curtain was incredibly arrogant, and the students who had just entered Shrek cowered in fear below her.

Finally, under the threat of expulsion, they nervously stepped forward and began running laps around Shrek Square.

The footage on the Heavenly Curtain paused, and a voice rang out.

"Look. This is our Teacher Zhou Yi."

"She simply lays down the law: anyone who can't finish running within an hour gets expelled. What an impressive show of authority."

"A friendly reminder: this wasn't her first lesson with these students. She said nothing and taught them nothing."

"For the very first class, she made the students who came to study at Shrek Academy run—and not just a few laps, but a hundred."

"What's the deal? Why does the highest academy on Douluo Continent, Shrek Academy, make people run every single day?"

"Ten thousand years ago, Shrek Academy's ancestor, Yu Xiaogang, had Tang San and the other Shrek Seven Monsters running. Ten thousand years later, they're still damn well running."

"Running is practically become Shrek Academy's must-do activity."

"If you're saying students come to Shrek Academy just to run, then what the hell are they even here for? Anyone can run."
