Overbearing Yin Chuan

"No, no. How could anyone teach students like this?"

"This is utter nonsense!"

Yu Xiaogang's imagined unconventional and ingenious teaching method never appeared. His attempt to secretly learn from it 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 cease their assault.

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

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

"Why is that trash here too?"

Tang San had initially relaxed, but upon seeing that familiar little buzz cut, his brows immediately knotted together.

Gangzi?

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

"Headmaster, is there something you need?"

Holding the Blue Silver Tyrant Spear, Yin Chuan walked over to Flender and Yu Xiaogang, casting Yu Xiaogang a discreet glance.

Gangzi had indeed followed him here...

"Ahem. First, everyone should go pay one hundred Gold Soul Coins at the payment office."

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 glances but said nothing, heading off together to pay their tuition.

Only Yin Chuan, Flender, and Yu Xiaogang remained at the scene.

"Teacher Yin Chuan, you know 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 rather strange. Yin Chuan's indifferent demeanor did not look like he had any friendship with Yu Xiaogang.

"I know him."

Yin Chuan nodded.

"Yin Chuan, from today onward, Xiao Gang will officially join our big Shrek Academy family."

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

"He possesses exceptionally extensive theoretical knowledge. He is known as Grandmaster and has many unique insights when it comes to theory..."

Flender went on and on.

"Enough, Headmaster. What are you trying to say?"

Yin Chuan frowned and cut Flender off.

"Well, I think Xiao Gang is capable of serving as the dean of studies. From now on, he can plan the academy's curriculum and the students' development paths..."

There was a hint of consultation in Flender's tone.

Though this was his academy, Yin Chuan was its strongest member. He could not simply make decisions on his own.

"So you're saying that I, as a teacher, have to listen to him, the dean of studies?"

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

"Yin Chuan, although your talent is outstanding and I cannot compare to you in cultivation, you are far inferior to me when it comes to teaching and nurturing students."

"Don't be so arrogant!"

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

"You are wasting talent!"

Before Flender could speak, Yu Xiaogang answered first. He proudly puffed out his chest, having found something else to be proud of.

Knowledge! Teaching methods!

These were all areas where he was superior to Yin Chuan.

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

The capable came first.

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

[Side Quest triggered: Humiliate Yu Xiaogang]

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

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

A Side Quest reward had finally appeared.

Yin Chuan felt as though a burden had been lifted. He had really suffered putting up with Gangzi for this long.

Do it, do it!

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

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

Yin Chuan was not paying attention to him at all!

"Yin Chuan, you're too arrogant! Don't you know there are always people stronger than you?"

Gangzi was becoming flustered and angry.

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

"Come over here."

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

"Teacher."

Tang San was the first to address 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 is here to become a teacher at our academy. One of you, come forward 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'll receive extra training!"

As the last two words fell,

the few who did not know Gangzi immediately shuddered.

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

Dai Mubai wore a bitter expression.

Gangzi looked 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 kids like them fight him?

And they would get 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 was even more enraged.

Yin Chuan was actually asking these students to 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 be a teacher, you should first earn the students' approval."

Yin Chuan finally looked Gangzi in the eye, but his gaze was cold. The Blue Silver Tyrant Spear tilted slightly as he lowered its tip.

That small movement nearly scared Yu Xiaogang out of his wits.

Yu Xiaogang immediately did not dare make any rash moves. He could only cast Flender a pleading look.

"Yin Chuan, Xiao Gang's circumstances are somewhat special..."

Flender forced himself to speak.

Let Gangzi fight the students?

Was that not a joke? How could Gangzi possibly beat them?

"So you mean he cannot even defeat students?"

As soon as Yin Chuan said this, everyone's expressions turned strange.

They were all considered heaven's favored children.

How could they acknowledge a piece of trash who could not even beat them as their teacher?

"No, what I mean is..."

Flender was sweating profusely. It seemed Gangzi was about to embarrass himself badly!

He still wanted to argue for him.

But the Blue Silver Tyrant Spear had already moved!

"Headmaster, you'd better think carefully before speaking."

"Shrek's school motto seems to be that those who dare not cause trouble are mediocrities, right?"

"So, do you mind if I cause a little trouble?"

Yin Chuan held the Blue Silver Tyrant Spear with an amused expression.

"This..."

Flender immediately lost his nerve. If this little tyrant started making trouble, he would not be able to control him.

"Yu Xiaogang, will you choose one of these students yourself, 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 thorough interview!

"I'll choose for myself!"

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

What kind of joke was this?

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