The students of Class Nine stared at the large tubs before them, their eyes lighting up.

Was that... a medicinal bath?

They truly hadn't expected such thoughtful consideration from their instructor; they hadn't imagined there would be a medicinal bath waiting for them after the training.

Wu Feng's eyes brightened, and she laughed, "Sister Tian, this guy only looks harsh, but I didn't expect him to provide a medicinal bath. It seems our efforts today weren't in vain."

Ning Tian looked at the large tubs, a trace of shock appearing on her face.

Many of the ingredients inside were herbs for strengthening the foundation and nourishing the essence, things that even in the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect were reserved for core disciples. She hadn't expected Yu Daoyun to be so generous.

This guy was truly wealthy, and truly generous as well.

Soon, the students of Class Nine jumped into the large tubs one after another, beginning to enjoy the medicinal bath.

Yu Daoyun stood where he was, watching the scene with great satisfaction.

After high-intensity training, one needed these foundation-strengthening medicines to solidify their roots so they could go further.

Blindly pushing high-intensity training would only be counterproductive; for instance, Zhou Yi's teaching style was deeply problematic, acting like a madwoman all day long.

At this moment, Ning Tian approached and asked, "Senior, do I need to soak with them too?"

"Is there a problem?" Yu Daoyun said.

Ning Tian pointed at the tubs filled with people and said, "Can you provide me with a separate tub? I don't want to soak with so many people. I have money; I can pay for it."

Wu Feng immediately lifted her chin and said indifferently, "My Sister Tian is very wealthy."

Yu Daoyun thought for a moment, then had the Martial Soul Department staff bring over two more medicinal tubs. Only then did Ning Tian and Wu Feng jump in to soak.

Of course, they were fully clothed.

The two tubs were also paid for out of Ning Tian's own pocket; no personal favors were involved.

At this moment.

The students of Zhou Yi's Class One looked toward Class Nine, casting envious gazes.

Other people's teachers were so much better; they had medicinal baths after training, unlike that old hag who wouldn't even buy them a bottle of water. It was simply excessive.

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but exclaim, "Yuhao, Wang Dong, look! Class Nine actually has medicinal baths. Do you think the old hag in our class prepared some for us too? I'm so looking forward to it!"

Wang Dong rolled his eyes.

With someone like that old hag, wanting a medicinal bath? In her next life, maybe!

Huo Yuhao also cast an envious look, gazing at his own frail body, and said, "I really want a medicinal bath too. They all look so relaxed."

Soon, the students of Class One began to whisper, engaging in a heated discussion about the medicinal baths.

These voices happened to reach the ears of Zhou Yi, who was resting nearby.

Her face turned fierce, and she shouted angrily, "Do you want me to shove you into a pool of medicine? If anyone dares to mention medicinal baths again, I will expel you!"

The students were already dissatisfied with Zhou Yi, and this time, someone finally snapped and stood up to retort.

The student spoke up, "Why do others have them and we don't? You must have embezzled the funds as a teacher! I'm going to report you to the Dean; I don't accept this!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yi's expression sank.

There was actually someone who didn't fear death and dared to talk back.

"You are expelled! Go back to the dormitory, pack your things, and get out!" Zhou Yi grabbed the student who had been complaining and threw him out directly.

The students of Class One present saw this scene and immediately quieted down; no one dared to mention the medicinal baths again.

If they kept pushing, they might be the ones getting kicked out next.

Having finally entered Shrek Academy, they didn't want to leave in such a humiliating way.

After teaching the complaining student a lesson, Zhou Yi put her hands on her hips, glared at the students of Class One, and said in a deep voice, "Is there anyone else who wants a medicinal bath? Stand up, and I'll send you packing! Anyone else?"

This time, no one dared to make a sound.

Only then did Zhou Yi hum with satisfaction, feeling a sense of catharsis.

Disobedient students, expel them all!

Students who couldn't complete the training, expel them too!

Those troublemakers, expel, expel, expel...

Afterward, Zhou Yi walked up to Yu Daoyun and accused, "You're the instructor from the Inner Court, right? Who taught you to train them like this?"

Yu Daoyun turned around and asked, "Oh, it's Teacher Zhou... do you have some advice?"

Zhou Yi snorted, pointed at the medicinal tubs, and said in a deep voice, "Do you have any idea how much of our resources this wastes? Every cent in our academy must be spent where it counts. What you're doing is wrong. You should train them without medicinal baths; their bodies should be able to recover on their own."

The implication was simple: Outer Court students weren't really students yet, especially those who hadn't passed the New Student Assessment.

Even if they were to have medicinal baths, it should wait until after the New Student Assessment. Doing it now was detrimental to unity and the academy's development. How was she supposed to carry out her work if he did this?

Upon hearing this, Yu Daoyun silently gave a thumbs up in his heart.

This rhetoric was all too familiar. So, you're the type who refuses to give the common folk a raise, huh?

So that's the kind of person Old Hag Zhou was.

Yu Daoyun immediately replied, "Teacher Zhou, how I conduct myself is my own business. You shouldn't interfere with the affairs of Class Nine; just focus on managing your Class One. I believe my teaching methods are perfectly fine."

"By taking a mountain of resources and producing a bunch of trash?" Zhou Yi retorted sharply.

Yu Daoyun was instantly displeased. "I am only being this polite because I respect you as a teacher. In my eyes, they are not trash; they are simply students who have yet to mature. Or does Teacher Zhou mean to say you were born a powerhouse?"

The students of Class Nine felt a warmth bloom in their hearts upon hearing this.

The instructor is the best!

Ning Tian turned her head to look at Yu Daoyun's back, finding him suddenly appearing much taller, exactly like the partner she had always imagined.

This guy is so handsome!

Wu Feng immediately asked, "Sister Tian, you aren't thinking of sending him a love letter, are you?"

"No, don't talk nonsense."

Ning Tian's pretty face flushed red, and she glared at Wu Feng with a hint of annoyance.

At this moment, Zhou Yi was so furious she could explode. She said coldly, "Do you dare to make a wager with me?"

"What kind of wager?" Yu Daoyun asked.

Zhou Yi pointed at the students of Class One and said indifferently, "Let's bet on the New Student Assessment three months from now. Whoever's class takes the championship wins. If you win, I will never teach new students again. If I win, you will obediently return to the Inner Court to continue your cultivation and stop meddling in the Outer Court's curriculum."

"How about it? Do you dare?"

A wager from a God King... Yu Daoyun agreed without a second thought.

It's just the championship of a minor New Student Assessment, isn't it? What could be difficult about that?

Zhou Yi let out a triumphant huff and turned to leave the training field.

A few days later, during a combat practice session for Class Nine.

After finishing breakfast in the Inner Court, Yu Daoyun arrived at Class Nine to conduct the combat lesson.

Following a series of training sessions, it was time to teach them how to engage in actual combat and how to utilize their Martial Soul skills rapidly.

The experience he had gained previously was passed down to him by Zhang Lexuan, and now he was able to pass it on to others.

Once the formation was assembled, Yu Daoyun began assigning opponents to the students, letting them spar with one another until the end of class.

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

Wu Feng asked rather foolishly, "Instructor, where are the training opponents you assigned for us?"

Yu Daoyun drew the Golden Dragon Spear and said calmly, "Your opponent is me. From now on, I will be your opponent for every combat lesson. For the sake of your New Student Assessment in three months, I have decided to put you through special training."

"I will not use my Martial Soul, my strength, or my soul skills. I will train you purely in combat techniques."
