Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"For the Shrek Academy to do something so petty... truly, words fail me!"

Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi shook his head.

He felt nothing but disdain for what Shrek Academy had done.

He even began to doubt how an academy that casually expelled students without refunding tuition could become the highest institution of learning ten thousand years later.

Martial Soul Hall.

Whether it was Bibi Dong or Qian Daoliu, the high-ranking members of Martial Soul Hall were all shocked and bewildered as they watched the scene playing out on the heavenly screen.

Why?

An Innate Soul Power of level six might not be a top-tier genius, but it was still a promising seedling.

Why did a youth with such soul power have to have his parents struggle and toil to earn his tuition after awakening his martial soul?

Didn't their Martial Soul Hall provide subsidies for every soul master?

If this student didn't attend those high-level academies or buy expensive medicinal herbs, the subsidies distributed by their Martial Soul Hall could even bring extra income to his family.

There was no need for his parents to exhaust themselves earning tuition. And tuition—what was that?

What exactly had happened ten thousand years from now?

At this, Qian Daoliu exchanged glances with the several great elders around him.

"Golden Crocodile, go investigate the branches under our Martial Soul Hall. See if anyone is secretly lining their own pockets, embezzling the subsidies that should be distributed."

"At the same time, go find Bibi Dong. I want to ask her if she abolished this subsidy."

Qian Daoliu's mind raced, and in the end, he could only come up with two conclusions.

One was that ten thousand years later, members of the lower-level Martial Soul Hall branches were embezzling the soul master subsidies that should have been distributed.

The other was that Bibi Dong, or perhaps the next Pope, had abolished this subsidy.

On the other side, Bibi Dong was equally confused.

She came from a humble background and was discovered by Martial Soul Hall. Before that incident happened, she had always been grateful to Martial Soul Hall.

Therefore, there was no way she would cancel a policy that had once greatly helped her.

Could it be her daughter, Qian Renxue?

Compared to the Douluo Continent ten thousand years ago, the Douluo Continent ten thousand years later was truly a spectacle.

Shrek Academy.

Watching the scene on the heavenly screen, Zhou Yi's nemesis, Mu Jin, felt not a shred of satisfaction at her rival's comeuppance.

Instead, she felt a deep sorrow and pain.

Seeing the plight of the person on the screen, she thought of her own younger brother, who had been expelled by Zhou Yi.

Simply because she and Zhou Yi didn't get along, Zhou Yi had targeted him at every turn, eventually finding some fabricated school rule to expel him.

And compared to the person on the screen, her brother was still better off.

Because her brother had her, a teacher at Shrek Academy, so he didn't end up on the streets, huddled in a corner to sleep after being expelled.

Zhou Yi, you truly have no heart!

For a moment, tears streamed down Mu Jin's face.

At this moment, a stark contrast to Mu Jin was Zhou Yi, not far away.

She saw what had happened not long from now.

No, what was happening on the screen was something that had happened countless times before.

Zhou Yi, the one directly involved, felt not a trace of guilt.

Anger, resentment, hatred—these negative emotions filled Zhou Yi's heart.

She clenched her teeth tightly, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.

No matter what, this person had violated the rules. What was wrong with her expelling him?

She refused to accept it! She refused to accept it!

Why did the heavenly screen have to broadcast this?

She was just about to be evaluated for a high-level title, and now that this had happened, her high-level title was definitely suspended.

Damn it, this damned heavenly screen, this damned cockroach.

Why! Why! Why!

Why was heaven doing this to her? Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!

She really couldn't accept it!

At this moment, it was as if a wild beast was roaring endlessly inside Zhou Yi's heart.

On the other side, Yan Shaozhe, who had witnessed the entire process, wore an ugly expression. He subconsciously looked toward Zhou Yi.

But when Yan Shaozhe saw Zhou Yi standing before him still showing no sign of remorse, his face gradually shifted from livid to black, his heart seething with rage.

Yan Shaozhe wished he could slap her right then and there.

"Zhou Yi, what exactly have you done?"

"Now I finally understand how you've maintained such a high advancement rate all these years—by expelling students!"

The pressure of a Titled Douluo instantly bore down on Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi's face turned deathly pale, her bones creaking audibly.

At that moment, Zhou Yi finally understood the students she had threatened.

A Six-Ring Soul Emperor, a teacher by title, yet she could say something like "dare to cross me and I'll cripple your martial soul."

Was someone like this truly fit to be a teacher?

Just as Zhou Yi was about to collapse, a hurried male voice rang out.

"Yan... Dean Yan, calm down. I'll take the blame for Zhou Yi on this matter."

"But as for any specific punishment for Zhou Yi, let the academy discuss it before deciding."

When everyone turned to look, the newcomer was none other than Zhou Yi's husband, and also the umbrella that allowed Zhou Yi to do as she pleased at Shrek Academy.

When Yan Shaozhe saw Fan Yu arrive, reason returned. He took a deep breath and suppressed his fury.

The pressure he exerted on Zhou Yi unconsciously eased.

And Zhou Yi, seeing Fan Yu arrive, instantly felt much more at ease.

With Fan Yu here, the academy definitely wouldn't punish her.

At that moment, the video on the sky screen continued.

"On the first day of school at Shrek Academy, you—the hope of your entire family—were expelled. With nowhere to turn, you returned home."

"Knowing you had been expelled from Shrek, your mother didn't blame you. Instead, she comforted you."

"But you clearly saw your mother's eyes red, the tear stains on her face still not wiped clean!"

"After your expulsion, the tuition wasn't refunded, and you still wanted to cultivate. So your parents worked even harder to earn money."

"Though you didn't join Shrek, your soul power kept rising through your own efforts. You left home again to train."

"During your training outside, you threw yourself into it as if you didn't care if you lived or died. You tempered your body relentlessly, honed your martial soul madly. When you finished your training and returned home once more..."

"Heaven seemed to play a cruel joke. Your mother lay dying in bed, and your father's grave stood at the edge of the field."

"Panic seized you. You wanted to save your mother, but there was nothing you could do. You could only watch helplessly as she died."

"In the end, you buried your parents together."

"Then your neighbor told you the truth behind it all."

"After you were expelled from Shrek Academy, your mother took on heavier and heavier work to earn money for your tuition, resting less and less, until she fell ill from exhaustion."

"Your father, likewise, went deep into the soul beast forest to gather medicinal herbs for your cultivation resources—and died in the jaws of a soul beast."

"Your mother died. Your father died."

"All of this could have been avoided. But because of Zhou Yi, the people you loved most were gone."

Suddenly, the sky screen went dark.

Two choices appeared on the screen.
