Zhou Yi's Displeasure: You're Too Good to Your Students, and It's Bad for Their Development

The students of Freshman Class Nine stared at the huge tub before them, their eyes lighting up.

Was that... a medicinal bath?

They truly hadn't expected their instructor to have put so much thought into this. After training, they even had a medicinal bath waiting for them.

Wu Feng's eyes lit up, and she smiled. "Tian Jie, this guy only looks harsh. I didn't expect there'd be a medicinal bath too. Looks like we didn't come all this way for nothing today."

Ning Tian gazed at the huge tub, a look of astonishment in her eyes.

Many of the herbs in there strengthened the body and replenished one's vitality. Even in the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, only core disciples got to enjoy them. She hadn't expected Yu Daoyun to be so generous.

This guy was both rich and generous.

Before long, the students of Freshman Class Nine jumped into the tub one after another and began enjoying their medicinal bath.

Yu Daoyun stood where he was, watching them with satisfaction.

After high-intensity training, they needed these body-strengthening herbs to reinforce their foundations and go further.

High-intensity training without anything else would only backfire. Zhou Yi's teaching methods, for example, were deeply flawed. She went around acting like a madwoman all day.

Just then, Ning Tian came over and asked, "Senior, am I supposed to join them?"

"Is there a problem?" Yu Daoyun asked.

Ning Tian pointed at the tub full of people. "Could you get me a separate tub? I don't want to bathe with so many people. I have money—I can pay for it."

Wu Feng lifted her chin and said coolly, "My Tian Jie has plenty of money."

Yu Daoyun thought it over, then had people from the Martial Soul Department bring over two more medicinal tubs. Only then did Ning Tian and Wu Feng climb into them one after the other.

Of course, they kept their clothes on.

Ning Tian paid for the two tubs out of her own pocket. She didn't pull strings to get them.

At that moment,

the students of Zhou Yi's Class One looked at Class Nine with envy.

Other people's teachers were so much better. After training, they even got a medicinal bath. Unlike their old hag, who wouldn't even buy them a bottle of water. She was just too much.

Xiao Xiao couldn't help exclaiming, "Yuhao, Wang Dong, look! Class Nine actually has a medicinal bath. Do you think our old hag prepared one for us too? I can't wait!"

Wang Dong rolled his eyes.

With an old hag like that, a medicinal bath? Maybe in their next life!

Huo Yuhao also looked on enviously. Gazing at his frail body, he said, "I really want a medicinal bath too. They all look like they're enjoying it."

Before long, the students of Class One began chattering among themselves, launching into a heated discussion about the medicinal bath.

Their voices happened to reach Zhou Yi, who was resting nearby.

Her face darkened, and she barked, "Want me to shove you into a pool for a medicinal bath? Anyone who dares bring it up again is getting expelled!"

The students were already unhappy with Zhou Yi, and now one of them simply exploded and stood up to talk back.

The student said, "Why does everyone else get one except us? You must've pocketed the money, teacher! I'm reporting you to the dean! This isn't fair!"

At that, Zhou Yi's expression immediately darkened.

Someone really had the nerve to stand up to her.

"You're expelled! Go back to your dorm, pack your things, and get out!!" Zhou Yi grabbed the student who had just complained and threw him out.

Seeing this, the students of Class One immediately fell silent. No one dared bring up the medicinal bath again.

If they kept talking, they'd be the ones getting kicked out next.

They'd worked hard to get into Shrek Academy. They didn't want to leave in such a humiliating way.

After dealing with the student who had complained, Zhou Yi planted her hands on her hips and stared at the students of Class One. "Anyone else want a medicinal bath? Step forward and I'll send you packing. Anyone else want one?"

This time, no one dared make a sound.

Only then did Zhou Yi give a satisfied snort, clearly enjoying the chance to vent.

Disobedient students? Expelled!

Students who couldn't finish their training? Expelled too!

Those troublemakers? Expelled, expelled...

Then Zhou Yi walked over to Yu Daoyun and reprimanded him. "You're an instructor from the Inner Court, aren't you? Who taught you to train them like this?"

Yu Daoyun turned around and asked, "Oh, it's Teacher Zhou... What can I do for you?"

Zhou Yi snorted and pointed at the medicinal tubs. "Do you know how many resources you're wasting? Every penny the academy has should be spent where it counts. What you're doing is wrong. You should just train them and skip the medicinal baths. They can tough it out with their own ability to recover."

Her meaning was simple: Outer Court students weren't real students, especially not those who hadn't even passed the New Student Assessment.

Even if they were going to get medicinal baths, they should wait until after the New Student Assessment. Doing this now was bad for unity and bad for the academy's development. How could the other teachers do their jobs if he kept this up?

Hearing that, Yu Daoyun silently gave her a thumbs-up.

That line sounded so familiar. Was she saying they shouldn't give ordinary people a raise?

So that was the kind of person Old Woman Zhou was.

Yu Daoyun replied, "Teacher Zhou, what I do is my business. Don't interfere with Class Nine. Just take good care of your own Class One. I don't think there's anything wrong with my teaching methods."

"You've got piles of resources and all you produce is a class of useless trash?" Zhou Yi snapped.

Yu Daoyun immediately took offense. "I'm only speaking to you this politely because I respect you as a teacher. In my eyes, they're not useless trash. They're students who haven't grown up yet. Was Teacher Zhou born a powerhouse?"

Hearing those words, the students of Class Nine felt a warmth in their hearts.

Their instructor really was the best!

Ning Tian turned around and looked at Yu Daoyun's back. In her eyes, he seemed to grow taller, just like the partner she had always dreamed of.

This guy was so handsome!

Wu Feng immediately asked, "Tian Jie, are you thinking of sending him a love letter?"

"No. Don't make things up."

Ning Tian's pretty face flushed red. She shot Wu Feng an annoyed look.

By now, Zhou Yi was furious. She said coldly, "Do you dare make a bet with me?"

"What kind of bet?" Yu Daoyun asked.

Zhou Yi pointed at the students of Class One and said coolly, "We'll bet on the New Student Assessment three months from now. Whichever class wins the championship takes it. If you win, I'll never teach new students again. If I win, you'll go back to the Inner Court and continue your cultivation. Don't meddle in the Outer Court's classes."

"What do you say? Do you dare?"

A bet between god kings, huh... Yu Daoyun agreed without a second thought.

What was so hard about winning the championship at a little New Student Assessment?

Zhou Yi gave a smug shout and turned to leave the training field.

A few days later, it was time for Freshman Class Nine's practical combat lesson.

After finishing breakfast in the Inner Court, Yu Daoyun went to Class Nine to teach their practical combat lesson.

After a string of training lessons, it was time to teach them how to fight in actual combat and use their Soul Skills quickly.

Zhang Lexuan had passed these very lessons on to them before. Now, they could teach them to others.

Once the students had assembled, Yu Daoyun assigned each of them an opponent and had them fight until class ended.

As for Yu Daoyun, he gave special training to Wu Feng, Ning Tian, and Nanmen Yun'er.

Wu Feng asked, not very brightly, "Instructor, where are the training partners you assigned us?"

Yu Daoyun drew the Golden Dragon Spear and said coolly, "I'm your opponent. I'll be your opponent in every practical combat lesson from now on. With your New Student Assessment three months away, I've decided to put you through special training."

"I won't use my Martial Soul, strength, or Soul Skills. I'll train you purely in combat techniques."
