Zhou Yi's Disgraceful Display

Feng Piaoling had long anticipated this.

In this Shrek Academy, which had become almost entirely aristocratic, it was impossible for the academy to expel a genius soul master from a powerful noble family like Xu Sanshi.

At most, there would be a symbolic punishment, a mere slap on the wrist.

But if you lacked any background and possessed only average talent, it was a different story.

You would be the type to be swept out the door immediately.

"I am Zhou Yi, the homeroom teacher of Class One. My student, Huo Yuhao, has caused you trouble this time. I apologize to you on behalf of the academy."

As the homeroom teacher of Class One, Zhou Yi had received the registration files for all students on the day of enrollment; thus, she recognized the boy instantly through Huo Yuhao's appearance.

At this very moment, she had no intention of expelling Huo Yuhao.

On the contrary, she had developed a great interest in this student.

One had to know that soul masters capable of granting teammates reaction speeds beyond the norm, the ability to anticipate danger, and the power to launch spiritual attacks were rare indeed.

"Trouble is an understatement. I just wonder how Teacher Zhou Yi intends to punish this clown who launched a sneak attack on me."

Feng Piaoling had absolutely no affection for the old woman before him and did not buy her act at all.

"Indeed, I wonder how Teacher Zhou Yi plans to deal with this bold fellow who dared to cheat openly in the Soul Fighting Arena."

Mu Jin walked over, looking as if she were waiting for a good show.

Zhou Yi raised an eyebrow. "Regarding this matter, I will naturally report it to Dean Yan Shaozhe and leave it to the Dean to decide."

"Heh, that doesn't sound like your style. I thought you would, as usual, simply expel students who don't follow the rules," Mu Jin mocked.

"Mu Jin, you had best not forget the wager we made earlier." Zhou Yi's expression turned completely cold.

Fan Yu, standing beside her, glared as well, causing Mu Jin to lose her confidence instantly.

"Hmph, there is no need for you to remind me." Things having reached this point, Mu Jin could say no more and could only pin her hopes on Dean Yan Shaozhe making a fair judgment.

As for Zhou Yi, the old woman was clearly shielding this kid named Huo Yuhao on purpose; otherwise, given her personality, she would have expelled him long ago instead of going through the trouble of reporting it to Dean Yan Shaozhe.

She wanted to see how, with such blatant favoritism, she could still convince Feng Piaoling to transfer to Class One.

"Feng Piaoling, you must possess Twin Martial Souls, right?" Zhou Yi looked at the youth hailed as the most handsome boy in the Outer Courtyard, her words shocking.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the arena, including the referee, Fan Yu, and Mu Jin, wore expressions of shock.

Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er were lost in thought, silently wondering, I never expected that besides myself, there would be another person with Twin Martial Souls here at Shrek Academy.

Hearing Zhou Yi's words, Feng Piaoling did not show the shock she had expected. His expression remained calm as he said:

"Teacher Zhou Yi, that is a fresh take. What makes you so certain that I possess Twin Martial Souls?"

Zhou Yi took out a thick, ancient book, and beneath her half-rimmed glasses, a light she considered wise flickered:

"It is because of your first martial soul. According to my research, in the thousands of years of the Douluo continent, there have been seven hundred and forty-three people with the Talisman Martial Soul, and only sixty-three of them possessed soul power—a probability of less than one in ten."

"Among those sixty-three, the highest Innate Soul Power was only level three. Yet, you have reached the Soul Elder realm at under twelve years of age. This cannot be achieved through pills and diet alone, which indicates your Innate Soul Power is very high, perhaps even Innate Full Soul Power."

"Following the logic that Innate Soul Power is directly proportional to the quality of the martial soul, the Talisman Martial Soul clearly does not meet this condition. Therefore, I can be certain that you must have another martial soul, and a very powerful one at that."

After she finished speaking, the referee, Mu Jin, and the surrounding students who had not yet left were all stunned.

Fan Yu looked at her with eyes full of admiration and awe.

"Clap, clap—" Feng Piaoling applauded. "As expected of Teacher Zhou Yi, who is known as a teacher of the theoretical department, to have thought of this. However, I would like to ask you a question."

"Speak your mind." Like Yu Xiaogang from ten thousand years ago, Zhou Yi had an inexplicable confidence in her theoretical knowledge.

"If I may be so bold, what are the conditions for the birth of Twin Martial Souls?" Feng Piaoling asked indifferently.

Zhou Yi paused for a moment before answering, "Innate Twin Martial Souls require the martial souls of both parents to be of similar quality to have a possibility of forming."

A hint of mockery rose in Feng Piaoling's heart, though his expression remained unchanged:

"That makes things interesting. Teacher Zhou Yi, on one hand, you say my Talisman Martial Soul is weak and that I must have a more powerful one, yet on the other, you say that for Twin Martial Souls to form, the martial soul qualities must be similar. Isn't that a contradiction?"

"Ah... this..." Zhou Yi was stumped by the question. She panicked instantly and hurriedly flipped through the ancient book in her hands, but no matter how she searched, she could not find an answer.

Many students present, who hated and feared the teacher who loved to punish and expel them, saw Zhou Yi get shut down, and the whole arena erupted.

"Haha, I never thought there would be a time when Old Lady Zhou would be stumped."

"Who would have thought? I really thought she knew everything."

"Keep your voice down, or she'll punish or expel you too."

Similar taunts and laughter rose one after another.

"This time, Old Lady Zhou has truly lost face."

Wang Dong'er watched the old woman below, who was speechless and in a complete panic, and gloated.

Xiao Xiao said, "Indeed. I just didn't expect that while Huo Yuhao looks decent, he would actually do something like stabbing someone in the back. In my opinion, he will definitely be expelled by the academy this time."

Zhu Lu, who came from a noble background, had a different view: "That is not necessarily true. I think that old woman seems to have the intention of protecting him."

The three of them discussed the matter back and forth.

"All of you, shut your mouths! Whoever dares to make noise again or show disrespect to their teacher, I will expel them!"

Zhou Yi had never suffered such an insult, and her fury erupted instantly. A terrifying aura surged from her body, and that overbearing soul power fluctuation rippled outward as rings of light rose from beneath her feet: two yellow, two purple, and two black.

Faced with Zhou Yi's threat, everyone present promptly shut their mouths. Although the vast majority of them were not in Zhou Yi's class, they knew that being targeted by her would certainly not be a pleasant experience.

Only when the murmurs had vanished did Zhou Yi retract her soul rings:

"Regarding your question, I will give you an answer later. For now, I am officially inviting you to transfer to Class One in my capacity as its head teacher. As long as you agree, I will spare no cost to cultivate you. As for the academy, you need not worry; I will handle the negotiations myself."

To assist his wife, Fan Yu added from the side:

"If you are willing to transfer to Class One, I can take you on as my second disciple in my capacity as a core teacher of the Soul Guidance Department, allowing you to become a core disciple of the Soul Guidance Department immediately."
