Soul Raising Pill

While Grey Wolf was ravenously studying Soul Tool Technology, someone came looking for the Library Pavilion.

They were Zhou Yi, Du Weilun, and Yan Shaozhe.

Zhou Yi wore a gloomy expression, her eyes full of grievance.

She actually had the nerve to feel wronged!

Du Weilun wore a bitter smile. He should have explained things clearly to Zhou Yi. Feng Tianyu had been specially recruited by Yan Shaozhe; how could he be expelled so easily?

Now, Zhou Yi had made such a mess of things that even he had been reprimanded by Yan Shaozhe.

Yan Shaozhe's eyes held a trace of helplessness. He'd known that Feng Tianyu and his disembodied Martial Soul would cause trouble at the academy.

But it was only the first day, and he was already at loggerheads with a teacher.

Shrek Academy wasn't that big, and it didn't take them long to find the Library Pavilion and spot Beibei, Feng Tianyu, and Grey Wolf.

Yan Shaozhe's eyes lit up. He walked over and cleared his throat, then spoke as if taking neither side:

"Beibei, Tianyu, so you came to the Library Pavilion to read. Good. You're both very motivated."

"I've already heard what happened. Now, I'll say a few words of fairness."

"Since it's your first day of class, even being late is understandable. This is such a minor matter; you certainly won't be expelled from Shrek Academy over it."

"I also reprimanded Teacher Zhou Yi. As a teacher and a role model, she should be tolerant and magnanimous toward her students, and try to understand them."

"There's no need for teachers and students to hold grudges overnight. Beibei, Tianyu, go back to class with Teacher Zhou Yi now."

Thinking of how domineering Zhou Yi had been earlier, Beibei was furious. She'd even used her Soul King strength to bully two students.

He was about to speak up and argue, at the very least to make sure Zhou Yi got the punishment she deserved, but Feng Tianyu spoke faster.

Feng Tianyu glanced at Zhou Yi, whose expression had turned dark.

"Dean, I'd like to transfer departments, from the Martial Soul Department to the Soul Guidance Department."

What?!

Yan Shaozhe panicked as soon as he heard this. Feng Tianyu was a Twin Martial Souls genius, and Mu En had personally designated him as a key student for Shrek Academy to cultivate.

If such a trivial disagreement with a teacher made him transfer from the Martial Soul Department to the Soul Guidance Department, then Yan Shaozhe might as well quit as its dean.

Yan Shaozhe looked at Feng Tianyu's face. It was stern and calm; he seemed to have made up his mind completely.

Yan Shaozhe lowered his voice.

"Tianyu, don't be impulsive. Your talent can develop best in the Martial Soul Department. If you don't think Zhou Yi is a qualified teacher, you can report it to me. I'll make sure you get justice."

The child had to cry before anyone would finally offer him milk!

Hearing that Feng Tianyu wanted to join the Soul Guidance Department, Yan Shaozhe was panicking inside. He stopped trying to mediate:

"Zhou Yi, as a teacher, you failed to guide your students properly. Instead, you relied on your strength to suppress them. Shrek Academy cannot tolerate that."

"In my capacity as dean of the Martial Soul Department, I hereby strip you of your teaching position for one year. Use that time to reflect properly."

Hearing that she would lose her teaching position for a whole year, Zhou Yi stared in disbelief.

She glared viciously at Feng Tianyu, her eyes bloodshot. She panted like a bull, her teeth clenched with hatred.

"Dean, why? Just for him?"

"How many outstanding students have I trained for Shrek Academy? I've worked diligently and tirelessly. Just because I wanted to expel this little brat who refuses to follow orders, you're going to strip me of my teaching position?"

"I won't accept this. I absolutely refuse to accept it!"

"Our Shrek Academy is overflowing with geniuses. What's so special about a mutated disembodied Martial Soul?"

When Yan Shaozhe heard Zhou Yi still shouting and provoking Feng Tianyu, he released his Soul Power. The terrifying pressure of a level-95 Soul Master instantly knocked Zhou Yi to the ground. She sat there stunned and silent, trembling violently beneath the pressure.

This was a case of what goes around comes around!

Zhou Yi was always using her Soul King strength to bully students. Today, a Soul Master of a higher rank had suppressed her with Soul Power.

Yan Shaozhe's expression turned cold; he changed his tune as quickly as turning a page and showed Zhou Yi no mercy.

"Five years!"

"I'm stripping you of your teaching position for five years. Use that time to reflect on your teaching methods. Tianyu is such a good kid, yet you drove him to the point of wanting to transfer from the Martial Soul Department to the Soul Guidance Department. This is all your fault!"

Zhou Yi opened her mouth, her face ashen. She remembered Beibei telling her she would regret it.

Now she truly regretted it.

She'd only acted tough in front of two students, just like she always did. How had that ended with Yan Shaozhe stripping her of her teaching position for five years?

Would there even be a place for her among Shrek Academy's teachers five years from now?

Having dealt with Zhou Yi, Yan Shaozhe saw that Feng Tianyu still wouldn't budge. He steeled himself, then took a jade bottle from his Storage Soul Tool. Inside were two pills the size of dragon's eyes. He pushed the bottle toward Feng Tianyu.

"Tianyu, Beibei, I failed to manage things properly. That's why someone like Zhou Yi ended up among the teachers at Shrek Academy."

"You've been wronged. This is the academy's compensation for you. The pills in this bottle are called Soul Raising Pills."

"They were refined by the Inner Court teachers using many rare medicinal ingredients. Their greatest effect is that they can raise the Soul Power of any Soul Master below level 30 by one level, with no side effects."

"Tianyu, would this be enough to convince you to stay in the Martial Soul Department? Beibei, you should talk him into it too."

Soul Raising Pills!

Now those were good stuff!

Feng Tianyu's eyes lit up as he took the jade bottle. Yan Shaozhe really should have brought out the good stuff earlier. He was stingy to the bone.

He shook the bottle and spoke to Beibei across from him.

"Beibei, once we get back to the dorm, we'll each have one."

Beibei smiled and nodded. He'd never taken a Soul Raising Pill, but he could get one whenever he wanted.

He'd originally planned to ask for one when his Soul Power reached level 29, so he could break through the bottleneck at level 30—a bottleneck that trapped most Soul Masters for their entire lives.

For some reason, getting a Soul Raising Pill that wasn't all that precious to him put him in a very good mood.

Perhaps it was because he'd seen Zhou Yi get what she deserved, or perhaps it was because Yan Shaozhe, who was stingy to an absurd degree, had actually offered up two Soul Raising Pills.

A smile also appeared on Feng Tianyu's stern face.

"Thank you for the Soul Raising Pills, Dean. But I still intend to transfer from the Martial Soul Department to the Soul Guidance Department."

At those words, Yan Shaozhe felt utterly defeated. He'd severely punished Zhou Yi right in front of Feng Tianyu, and even handed over two precious Soul Raising Pills, yet he still hadn't changed Feng Tianyu's mind.

Crack, crack!

Yan Shaozhe clenched his fists until they creaked. As the dean of Shrek Academy's Martial Soul Department, he'd never been toyed with like this before. But Feng Tianyu was a genius his teacher, Mu En, had taken an interest in.

He took several heavy breaths, calming the turbulent emotions in his chest. Then he forced an ugly smile.

"Tianyu, this isn't the time to throw a tantrum!"

"I know you might hold a grudge against me because I turned you down once before, but you shouldn't punish yourself over something I did."

"Here at Shrek Academy, only the Martial Soul Department has been the orthodox path for ten thousand years. The Soul Guidance Department is where students without much of a future end up."

"If you go there, you'll only bury your talent completely."

Feng Tianyu saw that Yan Shaozhe was at his wits' end, but he still didn't change his mind. With Mu En backing him, there was no need to be timid. He should make his demands openly; otherwise, he'd have exposed his true capabilities to Mu En for nothing.

"My Martial Soul spent the whole morning studying Soul Tool Technology, and it's very interested in making Soul Tools."

"I've made up my mind. Even if the dean doesn't agree, I'll report to the Soul Guidance Department tomorrow."

"By the way, Dean, Mu En promised me some Whale Rubber. Don't forget about it."

Yan Shaozhe was grinding his teeth in anger, but there was nothing he could do about Feng Tianyu.

Expel him? He couldn't. He wasn't allowed to, either!

He couldn't hit him or scold him; that would only make the kid more defiant.

Unless he locked him up, Feng Tianyu's legs belonged to him. Wherever he chose to go, Yan Shaozhe couldn't stop him.
