The Overbearing Yin Chuan

"No, no, how could you teach students like this?"

"This is utter nonsense!"

Yu Xiaogang's anticipated unconventional and insightful teaching method had not appeared. His attempt to steal some teaching techniques had failed.

All he saw was an incomparably chaotic, utterly terrible brawl.

Yin Chuan actually taught students like this?

He was simply a mediocre teacher!

"Stop for a moment."

Yin Chuan noticed the commotion over here and ordered the Blue Silver Spearmen to halt their assault.

Tang San and the others immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Yin Chuan's practical combat training was utterly hellish. To them, even Flender, who had interrupted the training, looked like a savior.

"Why is that trash here too?"

Tang San had been relieved, but the moment he spotted that familiar little buzz cut, his brows instantly knotted together.

Gangzi?

Just looking at him was irritating... He really was impossible to get rid of.

"Headmaster, is there something you need?"

Carrying the Blue Silver Tyrant Spear, Yin Chuan walked over to Flender and Yu Xiaogang, glancing at Yu Xiaogang without betraying any emotion.

Gangzi really had followed him here...

"Ahem. First, everyone should go to the payment office and hand in one hundred Gold Soul Coins."

Flender chuckled awkwardly and rubbed his hands together.

A few coins could stump even a hero.

Those ten Gold Soul Coins had only been the registration fee. These hundred were the tuition fee.

"Alright."

Tang San and the others exchanged looks but said nothing, heading off together to pay their tuition.

Only Yin Chuan, Flender, and Yu Xiaogang remained.

"Teacher Yin Chuan, you know the Grandmaster, right? He's my good brother and your former colleague."

Flender pulled Yu Xiaogang over and introduced him to Yin Chuan.

He found it somewhat strange. Yin Chuan's indifferent manner did not make him seem like someone who had any friendship with Yu Xiaogang.

"I know him."

Yin Chuan nodded.

"Yin Chuan, from today onward, Xiaogang will officially join our Shrek Academy family."

"He was once the Corner of Wisdom among our Golden Iron Triangle."

"He possesses extremely extensive theoretical knowledge and is known as the Grandmaster. In terms of theory, he has many unique insights..."

Flender went on and on.

"Stop. Headmaster, what are you trying to say?"

Yin Chuan frowned and interrupted Flender.

"Well, I think Xiaogang is qualified to serve as director of studies. From now on, he can plan the academy's curriculum and the students' developmental paths..."

Flender's tone carried a hint of consultation.

Although this was his academy, Yin Chuan was the strongest here. He could not simply make decisions on his own.

"So you mean that, as a teacher, I have to listen to him, the director of studies?"

Yin Chuan's expression did not change as he asked blandly.

"Yin Chuan, while your talent is outstanding and I am inferior to you in cultivation, you are far beneath me when it comes to teaching and nurturing students."

"Do not become arrogant!"

"If you continue using that erroneous teaching method from earlier, even the most gifted students will become ordinary in your hands."

"You are ruining geniuses!"

Before Flender could speak, Yu Xiaogang answered first. He proudly puffed out his chest, having once again found something he could take pride in.

Knowledge! Teaching methods!

These were all areas where he surpassed Yin Chuan.

If he used his strengths to conquer Yin Chuan, then perhaps he could even take Yin Chuan as his disciple.

Those with greater ability came first.

Though his cultivation was weak, as director of studies, he could guide Yin Chuan's teaching methods. How did that not make him Yin Chuan's teacher?

[Side Quest triggered: Humiliate Yu Xiaogang]

[Humiliate the arrogant, ignorant, conceited Yu Xiaogang and ruin his reputation at Shrek Academy]

[Reward: Howling Celestial Dog's age will be raised to that of a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast]

A Side Quest reward had finally appeared.

Yin Chuan felt greatly relieved. He had worked hard enduring this Gangzi for so long.

Do it. Do it!

Yin Chuan remained silent, considering how to deal with Gangzi. He did not even lower his head to look at Yu Xiaogang, completely ignoring him.

Yu Xiaogang immediately felt as though his fist had struck cotton.

The other man was not paying him any attention at all!

"Yin Chuan, you are far too arrogant. Do you not know that there are always greater people beyond people, and greater heavens beyond heaven?"

Gangzi became somewhat exasperated.

His self-esteem had always been exceptionally fragile. Being ignored by Yin Chuan hurt him more than being beaten by Yin Chuan would have.

"You all, come here."

Yin Chuan still ignored Gangzi. After Tang San and the others returned from paying their tuition, he called them over.

"Teacher."

Tang San took the lead in addressing him.

"Teacher."

The others followed obediently.

Only Ning Rongrong's gaze was somewhat restless. She felt that the stern Yin Chuan was even more charming...

"Mm."

"This man has come to our academy to become a teacher. One of you come out and interview him."

Yin Chuan pointed at Yu Xiaogang.

"If he defeats you, he will become a teacher at our academy."

"But if any of you lose, you will undergo extra training!"

As the final two words fell—

The few who did not know Gangzi immediately shuddered.

"Teacher Yin, are you joking? We are students. How can we interview a teacher?"

Dai Mubai's face turned bitter.

Gangzi looked like he was seventy or eighty years old. His Soul Power Level had to be at least that of a Soul Ancestor, right? How could a bunch of little kids like them fight him?

And they would have extra training if they lost...

"Ahem..."

Tang San and Xiao Wu could barely hold themselves back.

"Yin Chuan, what do you mean by this?!"

Yu Xiaogang completely lost his composure.

Yin Chuan was actually making these students interview him?

What kind of joke was this?!

These students were all at least two-ring Battle Soul Grandmasters. How could he possibly defeat them?!

"It means nothing. If you want to become a teacher, first earn the students' approval."

Yin Chuan finally looked directly at Gangzi, but his gaze was cold. The Blue Silver Tyrant Spear tilted slightly as he pressed down its tip.

That tiny gesture nearly scared Yu Xiaogang out of his wits.

Yu Xiaogang immediately did not dare make any rash moves. He could only look pleadingly at Flender for help.

"Yin Chuan, Xiaogang's situation is somewhat special..."

Flender forced himself to speak.

Let Gangzi fight students?

Was that not a joke? How could Gangzi possibly win?

"So you mean he cannot even defeat students?"

The moment Yin Chuan said this, everyone's expressions turned strange.

They were all considered favored children of heaven.

How could they acknowledge a useless teacher who could not even defeat them?

"No, what I mean is..."

Flender broke out in a cold sweat. Gangzi seemed like he was about to make a complete fool of himself!

He still wanted to argue for him.

But the Blue Silver Tyrant Spear had already moved!

"Headmaster, you had better think carefully before speaking."

"Shrek's school motto seems to be, 'Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre,' right?"

"Then do you mind if I cause a little trouble?"

Yin Chuan held the Blue Silver Tyrant Spear with great interest.

"This..."

Flender immediately fell silent. If this little Tyrant started making trouble, he would not be able to control him.

"Yu Xiaogang, will you voluntarily choose one of these students, or will you fight Tang San?"

Yin Chuan even gave Yu Xiaogang a choice. No one could say he was being unreasonable.

Whoosh!

Tang San's eyes immediately lit up. He would definitely give Gangzi a proper interview!

"I'll choose one myself!"

Yu Xiaogang was startled by Tang San's burning gaze and hurriedly said.

What a joke!

He had a grudge with Tang San. Tang San would beat him to death!
