Defeating Zhou Yi, Yan Shaozhe's Decision

Intense Soul Power fluctuations surged across the open space in front of the teaching building, immediately drawing the attention of many students and teachers.

In Freshman Class Nine, a female teacher named Mu Jin looked down at Zhou Yi, whose body was continuously erupting with Soul Power and who was clearly in a miserable state. She froze.

"What is Zhou Yi going crazy about this time? Does she really think no one can do anything to her just because Fan Yu is backing her?"

"She actually dared to attack a freshman. She's completely insane!"

Mu Jin's beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief.

Although she and Zhou Yi had never gotten along, she had never imagined Zhou Yi would be mad enough to attack a freshman.

At that moment, on the open ground below...

Qiangu Qitian quietly watched Zhou Yi, looking at her Martial Soul Possession form as if she were a clown.

After merging with the Red Dragon, Zhou Yi's body had visibly grown larger and more imposing.

Her dragon claws burned with blazing Dragon Fire. The flames were so hot that even the surrounding air had begun to distort.

"Come on, let me see what you can do!"

Qiangu Qitian did not attack immediately. He was confident that, with his explosive power, one strike of his staff could leave Zhou Yi half-crippled.

Once he attacked, Zhou Yi would be completely unable to fight back.

"Arrogant!"

Zhou Yi had also seen Qiangu Qitian's Soul Rings. Although she was shocked that he possessed two black Soul Rings, a Soul Ancestor was still only a Soul Ancestor. How could he compare to a high-level Spirit King like her?

Thus, Qiangu Qitian allowing her to attack first was nothing but sheer arrogance in her eyes.

"First Soul Skill: Dragon Fire!"

"Second Soul Skill: Dragon Fury!"

"Fifth Soul Skill: Crimson Dragon Burning Annihilation Strike!"

Zhou Yi went all out from the start. Even though she believed Qiangu Qitian had some sort of backing, she was confident that her husband could protect her.

"Is that all? This is the strength you're so proud of?"

"Are all the teachers of Shrek Outer Academy this mediocre?"

Zhou Yi's full-force attack appeared overwhelmingly powerful, but in Qiangu Qitian's eyes, it was utterly ordinary.

Soul skills were neither solid nor fixed. As they flew through the air, their power had already diminished somewhat. If they actually struck Qiangu Qitian like this, their power would weaken even further.

Even if Qiangu Qitian did not resist, they would at most seriously injure him. They would not even threaten his life.

What disappointing power. Qiangu Qitian stopped holding back, and the first purple Soul Ring beneath him flickered faintly.

"First Soul Skill: Force Piercing Ten Thousand Juns!"

"First Form of the Indomitable Staff Technique: Battle Heaven Fight Earth!"

Qiangu Qitian's aura instantly condensed into a single point. He swung his long staff, and countless staff shadows burst forth, annihilating Zhou Yi's three Soul Skills in an instant.

The attack then struck her directly without losing any of its force.

"Wait! Can we make peace now?"

Seeing her three Soul Skills instantly destroyed by Qiangu Qitian, Zhou Yi's eyes immediately filled with terror.

She shouted at Qiangu Qitian, desperately hoping to reconcile with this student who had shown her no respect.

But it was already too late. Qiangu Qitian's Coiling Dragon Staff had condensed into one, and it came crashing down onto her.

Zhou Yi only felt an enormous force slam into her. In the next instant, her defenses shattered, and the mask concealing her identity broke apart as well.

The staff struck her body, sending her flying like a torn sack under the immense force.

She crashed heavily onto the ground, spitting out a mouthful of black blood mixed with chunks of flesh.

Her face turned deathly pale, and one side of her body had been smashed into a twisted, deformed mess.

"What is going on here?!"

Just as Qiangu Qitian finished dealing with Zhou Yi, a vast aura of light suddenly rose in the distance.

Yan Shaozhe and the Martial Soul Department director, Du Weilun, rapidly approached from afar.

It did not take them long to land directly in front of Qiangu Qitian.

Yan Shaozhe's expression was stern, as though he had never known Qiangu Qitian at all.

Seeing him like this only made Qiangu Qitian more certain that this senior brother of his had interfered with his class assignment.

"Because I contradicted Teacher Zhou Yi, she wanted to expel me."

"Then I refused to accept it, so she tried to attack me. After that, she couldn't beat me."

"I barely used any strength, and she fell over. If all the teachers of the Outer Academy are at this level, then that really is disappointing."

Facing Yan Shaozhe's stern expression, Qiangu Qitian merely shrugged and casually explained what had happened.

He did not mention Zhou Yi's attempt to reconcile at all.

After all, Zhou Yi had not truly wanted reconciliation. She had simply become afraid.

Du Weilun's eyes widened in confusion and disbelief as he looked at Zhou Yi, whose body had been beaten so badly that half of it had sunk inward and she no longer even looked human.

What did he mean, he had casually struck once and turned an outstanding Outer Academy lecturer into this?

As the head of the Outer Academy's Martial Soul Department, Du Weilun knew Zhou Yi's strength very well.

Although she was not ranked among the Outer Academy teachers, she was still close to becoming a Spirit Emperor. Yet someone with that level of strength had been beaten into this state by a single casual strike. It was simply unbelievable.

"So that's what happened."

"Zhou Yi provoked a student and attacked him, only to end up like this because she was not strong enough."

"Taking action against a student proves that Zhou Yi possesses no teacher's ethics whatsoever. In my capacity as dean of the Martial Soul Department, I hereby announce that she is expelled from the Martial Soul Department effective today."

"Weilun, notify Zhou Yi's family and have them take her away as soon as possible."

"This is truly disgraceful. She was beaten into this state by a child, a first-year Outer Academy student."

"Does someone of her strength deserve to be a teacher at Shrek?"

After hearing Qiangu Qitian's account, Yan Shaozhe immediately announced Zhou Yi's punishment without another word.

As for Qiangu Qitian?

He had merely been provoked by Zhou Yi and instinctively used a little too much force. Besides, he was only a child.

Could adults like them really hold it against a child?

"Dean Yan, what about Class One?"

Du Weilun nodded. Though he usually gave Fan Yu some face, Yan Shaozhe had personally given the order this time, so naturally he had no objections.

However, with Zhou Yi expelled, Class One would no longer have a homeroom teacher. Someone would have to be assigned to replace her.

"Wang Yan recently advanced to Spirit King as well. He is qualified to serve as Class One's homeroom teacher."

"Then let Wang Yan take over. I believe he can properly manage Class One."

"If Fan Yu has any objections, tell him to come find me himself!"

"Alright, that's settled!"

One more chapter, no later than six o'clock.
