"You do not represent Shrek Academy."
"And you have even less qualification to represent the authority of Shrek Academy."
Su Chen's calm yet resolute words instantly ignited all of Zhou Yi's fury and humiliation!
"You... you are insolent!" Zhou Yi's already stern and rigid face instantly flushed red and twisted with extreme rage and disbelief.
Having taught freshman classes for years, relying on her iron-fisted rule and "formidable reputation," which freshman hadn't trembled in fear or remained deathly silent before her? When had she ever encountered such an arrogant, reckless, and openly defiant thorn in her side?!
A mere freshman actually dared to bare his fangs at her and question her qualifications?!
Extreme humiliation transformed into violent rage. Zhou Yi gritted her teeth, squeezing the words out through the gaps, each syllable carrying the chill of ice shards. The already sharp aura surrounding her surged, and a scorching, violent energy erupted!
"Hum--!"
Crimson light, like an exploding flame, instantly enveloped her entire body! A low, majestic dragon roar faintly echoed from within her.
Fine, crimson dragon scale phantoms appeared on the surface of her skin, her eyes glowed red, and the soul power around her surged like boiling magma.
Immediately after, rings of soul rings in various colors rose from beneath her feet one after another, carrying a heart-stopping pressure!
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black!
Six soul rings in total! Two yellow, two purple, two black! A standard and powerful optimal soul ring configuration! Especially the last two deep, black ten-thousand-year soul rings, which emitted suffocating, massive energy fluctuations!
This teacher, known for her strictness and short temper, was actually a Soul Emperor-level powerhouse! And with two ten-thousand-year soul rings, she was definitely a top-tier expert among soul masters of the same rank!
"Hiss--!" A collective gasp echoed through the classroom. Although they had heard that the teachers at Shrek Academy were powerful, witnessing a Soul Emperor release her martial soul and soul rings provided a visual and psychological impact that was still incredibly shocking.
Xiao Xiao had long forgotten her nervousness. She held her small face in her hands, her cyan eyes wide, gazing infatuatedly at the golden-haired boy standing straight and calm under the Soul Emperor's pressure.
In her eyes, Su Chen's figure, refusing to retreat and facing power head-on, seemed to be plated with a layer of light, making her heart race and her beautiful eyes ripple with an unusual, almost worshipful glow.
Wang Dong also stared in astonishment with her powder-blue eyes, her small hand covering her mouth involuntarily. She knew Su Chen was strong and his personality was... very annoying, but she never imagined he would be bold enough to go to this extent! Directly clashing head-on with a Soul Emperor-level homeroom teacher? And in such a ruthless manner!
Is this guy... crazy?! Wang Dong screamed internally. Does he really not fear being expelled? Or even... being taught a lesson on the spot? Although she was also extremely dissatisfied with Zhou Yi's unreasonable and condescending attitude, the thought of rebellion had only ever remained in her "imagination."
Unlike Wang Dong's shock and worry, after the initial impact and fear, the gazes of many girls in the classroom toward Su Chen gradually became heated, even sparking little "hearts."
This was simply... a dream lover brought to reality! Too handsome! Too cool! Mom, I'm in love!
Standing at the center of the Soul Emperor's pressure, Su Chen felt as if he were caught in a violent firestorm, the air around him seemingly about to be ignited and torn apart.
The soul power within him was under intense suppression, its circulation sluggish, and the bones in his back even emitted a faint "clacking" sound.
Yet, he kept his spine straight. Although his face was slightly pale, his eyes remained as sharp as ever, meeting Zhou Yi's burning, crimson eyes without a hint of retreat.
"As a teacher of Shrek Academy," Su Chen's voice sounded low under the pressure, yet it pierced through the scorching, violent aura with chilling mockery, "is all you can do to bully a newly enrolled student with soul power pressure? Teacher Zhou Yi, your 'teaching' is truly unconventional."
"Sharp-tongued!" Seeing that Su Chen, a mere Soul Grand Master, could still stand straight under her Soul Emperor pressure and even continue to mock her, Zhou Yi laughed instead of getting angry, though the smile was bone-chilling and cruel. "Good... good! Very good indeed!"
She said the word "good" three times, and in her extreme rage, she felt a morbid sense of calm.
"Since that is the case," Zhou Yi slowly raised her right hand, covered in crimson dragon scale phantoms, her five fingers slightly curled, cold light flickering at her fingertips, "I will personally teach you what it means to—respect! the! teacher! and! the! way!"
As the last word fell, fierce light erupted in her eyes!
"Boom!"
The entire class erupted in chaos again! All the freshmen were horrified, shrinking back in terror and crowding into the corners of the classroom.
They knew Zhou Yi was strict and short-tempered, but they never expected her to actually dare to attack a freshman directly in the classroom!
That was a six-ring Soul Emperor! How could a Soul Grand Master like Su Chen possibly withstand a strike delivered in anger?!
Although everyone felt Su Chen was "brave" for daring to resist, their hearts were now filled only with pity for him and fear for their own situation.
Except for Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, almost no one believed Su Chen could gain any advantage against a Soul Emperor; no, it would be a miracle if he could even keep his life!
Of course, Su Chen's own mood at this moment was by no means as calm as he appeared.
A Soul Emperor... is indeed not someone I can confront head-on right now. He judged calmly in his heart. Even with his god-level martial soul, the Six-Winged Angel, even with his soul power reaching level twenty-eight, far exceeding his peers, and even with his trump card, the Angel Domain, the massive gap in levels was like a chasm.
A Soul Emperor's total soul power, physical strength, and control over soul power were far beyond what a Soul Grand Master could compare to. A direct clash would mean certain defeat, and perhaps even a threat to his life.
If it were a few days ago, when he had just transmigrated, obtained the system, and only wanted to develop steadily and plan slowly, he would never have chosen such an intense, uncompromising method of confrontation.
He would have chosen to endure, temporarily obeying Zhou Yi's unreasonable rules, and waited until his wings were fully grown before settling scores.
However, things were different now.
He had the [Super Sect Card] as his trump card. A hidden super sect possessing several Super Douluo who obeyed him completely!
With this ultimate trump card, his mindset had undergone a earth-shattering change. He no longer needed to walk on thin ice or tolerate everything. Shrek Academy was indeed powerful, but he, Su Chen, now had the capital to flip the table!
Zhou Yi. Su Chen's eyes were cold, his heart devoid of fear. If you truly dare to rely on your Soul Emperor cultivation to strike me down...
And if Shrek Academy ignores this, failing to provide even a shred of fair treatment...
Then let Shrek Academy come and have a talk with my "trump card"!
However, that was the worst-case scenario.
