Soul Land: Peerless Tang Sect. Yan Shaozhe, who had originally been suspicious about whether there was something shady behind Zhou Yi's high promotion rate, exploded the moment he heard the Sky Screen's broadcast.
Yan Shaozhe's gaze instantly sharpened. His face appeared calm, but his eyes were like sharp blades as he coldly stared at Zhou Yi.
"Teacher Zhou Yi, is what the Sky Screen said true?"
Yan Shaozhe's tone was calm, but every teacher present felt a tremor in their hearts.
They understood—this Dean of the Martial Soul Department was genuinely furious.
At this moment, Zhou Yi still hadn't snapped out of her shock and fear.
After all, in her view, she had merely expelled a few disobedient students—a perfectly normal thing to do.
And with her high promotion rate, she was about to be evaluated for a senior rank.
What fault did she have!
So she truly couldn't understand why the Sky Screen was accusing her.
Suddenly, still dazed, Zhou Yi felt the bone-chilling coldness in Yan Shaozhe's gaze.
Under the pressure of a Titled Douluo, an emotion called fear crept into Zhou Yi's heart.
But she quickly steadied herself.
Being so arrogant in Shrek Academy, she had capital—her husband was the future dean of the Soul Tool Department at Shrek Academy.
Expelling a few students was a trivial matter that wouldn't hurt her.
Thinking this, Zhou Yi's panicked heart gradually calmed. She forced a smile onto her face and defended herself:
"Dean Yan, I admit I expelled a few students, but those I expelled were all ones who had made mistakes."
"Expelling bad students who violate Shrek Academy's rules—I did it all for the good of the academy!"
"Director Du, tell me, am I right?"
Suddenly, Zhou Yi called out Du Weilun, who was shrinking into the crowd.
At the same time, Yan Shaozhe's gaze turned to him.
Du Weilun's heart sank halfway.
He knew about Zhou Yi expelling students, but given Zhou Yi's status, he, as the director, could only turn a blind eye and let it slide.
But who would have thought the Sky Screen would broadcast Zhou Yi's matter now?
Wasn't this the end?
After weighing the pros and cons several times, Du Weilun finally made a decision.
Suppressing his inner unease, he said, "Teacher Zhou's educational methods are indeed swift and decisive. Her students even gave her the nickname 'Extinction Shitai.'"
That's right, Du Weilun chose to play dumb—neither exposing her nor taking the blame for her.
After all, Zhou Yi, relying on her husband, had bypassed him, the teaching director, when expelling students.
Even if the Sky Screen played it out later, he wouldn't be held responsible.
"Is that so?"
Yan Shaozhe's expression softened slightly.
He thought it over carefully—how many students could Zhou Yi, an ordinary teacher, have the authority to expel?
Maybe the Sky Screen had made a mistake, or was nitpicking, deliberately slandering Shrek?
Seeing Yan Shaozhe's change in expression, Zhou Yi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking this matter was over.
But the next second, the video playing on the Sky Screen shattered all of Zhou Yi's illusions and hopes.
"Zhou Yi is just an ordinary teacher at Shrek, average in strength. How did she expel so many students to boost her promotion rate?"
The Sky Screen seemed to be constantly watching Yan Shaozhe and Zhou Yi's situation.
The moment doubt arose in Yan Shaozhe's heart, it answered the next second.
"Zhou Yi herself is useless, but her husband is a big shot in the Soul Tool Department at Shrek Academy. With that connection, Teacher Zhou Yi can expel whoever she wants."
"Relying on her husband Fan Yu's status at Shrek, she expelled all the students with poor foundations."
"What's left are only the top students, so naturally the promotion rate goes up."
"This kind of behavior, I can only call it scummy. She doesn't deserve to be a teacher."
At this point, the scene shifted, and the Sky Screen displayed the avatars of Yu Xiaogang and Zhou Yi.
"Although I've always been criticizing Yu Xiaogang, on this matter, I have to admit that this scumbag Zhou Yi can't even compare to Master Yu Xiaogang."
"Sure, Yu Xiaogang spends all day clinging to his broken Ten Core Theories of Martial Souls, trying to prove himself by teaching a disciple."
"But Yu Xiaogang spent so many years at Notting College, and he never harmed those ordinary students there."
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang at Shrek Academy was completely stunned, the corners of his mouth twitching uncontrollably.
Was that supposed to be a compliment?
Why did it sound so awkward?
From the moment the sky screen exposed Zhou Yi, the smile had vanished from Flender's face, standing beside Yu Xiaogang.
Though his heart had first surged with excitement and elation upon learning that the Shrek Academy he founded would endure ten thousand years later...
After witnessing Zhou Yi's outrageous behavior, Flender's expression darkened instantly.
He never imagined that the Shrek Academy he built would harbor a teacher so utterly devoid of professional ethics.
If you don't want a student, then don't accept them in the first place. But you took them on, then turned around and expelled them.
Where is the sense of responsibility in that?
Soon, the sky screen shifted to the moment when Zhou Yi forced Huo Yuhao and the other new students to run.
In the image, Zhou Yi—a six-ring Soul Emperor—radiated her oppressive aura toward a group of eleven- and twelve-year-old students.
"Now, all of you will run one hundred laps around Shrek Plaza. Anyone who doesn't finish within one hour will be expelled on the spot."
"If any of you doubt that I'm bluffing, feel free to test me."
"Go ahead and ask around—I've expelled plenty of students under my watch."
"Let me make this clear: if I want you out of this academy, it's as simple as a single word from me."
On the sky screen, Zhou Yi was utterly arrogant, while the newly enrolled Shrek students below trembled in fear.
Finally, under the threat of expulsion, they shuffled out nervously and began running around Shrek Plaza.
At that moment, the sky screen paused, and a voice rang out.
"See? This is our Teacher Zhou Yi."
"Straight to the mandatory rule: anyone who can't finish in an hour gets expelled. What a grand display of authority."
"Friendly reminder: this isn't even the first lesson she teaches these students. She says nothing, teaches nothing."
"The very first class of the semester is nothing but making students who came to Shrek Academy run—one hundred laps, no less."
"What's the deal? The highest institution on the Douluo Continent, Shrek Academy, and all it does is make people run?"
"Ten thousand years ago, Shrek Academy's founder, Yu Xiaogang, made Tang San and the other Shrek Seven Monsters run. Ten thousand years later, damn it, they're still running."
"Running has practically become a mandatory minigame at Shrek Academy."
"If you're telling me the whole point of coming to Shrek Academy is to run, then why the hell would these students even bother? Anyone can run."
