Zhou Yi Deposed, New Homeroom Teacher Wang Yan

Xuan Zi controlled his pressure to perfection. Apart from Zhou Yi, who was kneeling on the floor and had wet herself, no one else in the classroom felt even the slightest thing.

Aside from Su Ling, the person directly involved, only Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao in all of Class One guessed that Xuan Zi had made a move.

After all, they had witnessed with their own eyes just how much Xuan Zi looked after Su Ling. Saying he treated him like his own grandson would not be an exaggeration.

Zhou Yi, a mere little teacher of Shrek, had actually dared to claim she would expel Su Ling. That was no different from poking the tiger in its own den!

"Serves her right!" Wang Dong muttered under her breath. She had never had much fondness for this old hag to begin with.

Looking at Zhou Yi, who resembled a stray dog that had lost its home, Huo Yuhao felt thoroughly satisfied.

He had decided. When the time came, he would also make that beast Dai Huabin kneel before his mother's grave!

At that moment, Zhou Yi, kneeling on the floor, finally could not hold on any longer. Listening to the freshmen's mocking laughter ringing in her ears, her eyes rolled back and she passed out cold.

Xuan Zi gave a cold snort. Only after withdrawing his pressure did he turn to look at Su Ling, his gaze softening.

"Is this old man also a teacher of Shrek?"

"Could he be from the teaching office?"

The other freshmen began guessing one after another.

They felt that Zhou Yi must have violated a teacher's ethics and attacked a student, only to be caught red-handed by this old man from the teaching office!

A truly just official under the blue sky!

"Kid Su, are you feeling unwell anywhere? Don't worry, this Zhou Yi is only a special exception in Shrek Academy. Not all teachers are like this..."

Xuan Zi stepped forward and explained with all his might.

He was afraid Su Ling would misunderstand!

He had only been gone for one day, and Su Ling had first suffered an attack from Ma Xiaotao when her evil fire ran out of control, then been targeted by this stupid pig Zhou Yi.

No, wait! Was this stupid pig Zhou Yi's brain not broken!?

A twelve-year-old Rank 35 Soul Elder, with a heaven-defying Soul Ring configuration of purple, purple, and black at that, and she actually wanted to expel him?

"I'm fine. It's just, now that she's like this... who's going to keep teaching us?"

Su Ling pointed at Zhou Yi, who had fainted in the puddle of urine.

"No matter. This old man will arrange for a qualified teacher to teach Class One shortly. As for this Zhou Yi..."

Xuan Zi looked over coldly and raised his hand, sending out an earthen-yellow ray of light.

At the same time, a figure happened to pass by the classroom door. That person casually glanced inside and then left.

But very quickly, that person swiftly doubled back.

"Teacher Zhou!?" Wang Yan looked at Zhou Yi, who had wet herself on the floor, and his mind instantly crashed.

But soon, he noticed Xuan Zi standing nearby. Only then did he restrain his loss of composure and bow in salute.

"Xuan Zi!"

"It's you, kid. Perfect. Since you're idle anyway, stop fussing with theory and teach this class well for this old man from now on."

"Huh?"

"Huh, what? Drag this stupid pig out. This old man has crippled her Soul Power. When she wakes up, tell her that from now on, Shrek Plaza is hers to clean. That is this old man's order!"

Seeing that Xuan Zi was not joking, Wang Yan was confused, but he did not hesitate. He immediately carried it out.

From Xuan Zi's words and tone, Wang Yan also inferred that Zhou Yi must have offended Xuan Zi.

Xuan Zi was his teacher, and Wang Yan knew Xuan Zi's temperament very well. For the old man to personally cripple someone's Soul Power and pass judgment...

Zhou Yi must have done something utterly outrageous that seriously affected Shrek!

Very quickly, under the gaze of all the freshmen, Zhou Yi was dragged out by Wang Yan like a dead dog.

The coldness on Xuan Zi's face vanished, replaced by kindliness. He lowered his voice and said to Su Ling, "That one just now can be counted as this old man's disciple. His name is Wang Yan. His strength isn't weak, and he has done quite a bit of research into Martial Soul knowledge. From now on, let him teach your Class One."

"That works. Since he's Xuan Zi's disciple, I definitely trust Teacher Wang Yan."

Su Ling nodded and gave him a light bit of flattery at just the right moment.

Sure enough, as soon as he said this, Xuan Zi chuckled. Then he gently patted Su Ling again.

"When you have nothing to do, come visit Sea God Pavilion more often. That girl Lexuan has been talking about you all day."

Seeing this old coot Xuan Zi waggling his eyebrows at him, Su Ling could not help laughing and said, "Then after school today, I'll go to Sea God Pavilion to find Sister Lexuan."

"Eh, that's more like it." Xuan Zi's smile deepened, as if a crafty old fox had gotten his way.

Just then, Wang Yan returned.

Xuan Zi pulled him aside and said a few words to him. Then he winked at Su Ling, hinting that he should not forget what they had just discussed, before finally disappearing from the classroom doorway.

"Uh... hello, students. My name is Wang Yan, and I am the new homeroom teacher of your Class One." As he spoke, he stood at the podium and bowed deeply to Su Ling and the other freshmen.

Wang Yan looked to be in his forties. His clothes were clean and neat, his features were very kind, and even his tone carried a refined, scholarly feeling.

"Now, students, please introduce yourselves. That will make it easier for me to remember you, and also help me arrange each student's teaching plan."

"Let's start with this student."

Wang Yan looked at the new student on the left and smiled gently.

"My name is Li Shihao. My Soul Power is rank 17, and my Martial Soul is the Great Strength Ape."

"My name is Ma Dongmei. My Soul Power is rank 16..."

"My name is Wang Dong. My Soul Power is rank 22, and my Martial Soul is the Light Goddess Butterfly."

"My name is Huo Yuhao. My Soul Power is rank 11, and my Martial Soul is the Spirit Eye..."

The introductions continued.

Wang Dong's male attire was extremely handsome, with a touch of softness to it. After the others heard that her Soul Power was rank 21, she naturally drew the envy and admiration of some of the female students.

As for Huo Yuhao, just like in the original work, he was questioned by many people. None of them understood how he had enrolled with only rank 11 Soul Power.

Soon, as Xiao Xiao sat down, it was Su Ling's turn to introduce himself.

The entire classroom fell silent. All the new students, including Wang Yan, fixed their gazes seriously on Su Ling.

"Su Ling. Soul Power rank 35. Martial Soul: Qilin."

Su Ling sat down expressionlessly.

A burst of whispering quickly erupted through the classroom. The female students' faces were full of infatuation, even more so than when it had been Wang Dong's turn.

As for the male new students, most were amazed by Su Ling's Soul Power, while a few were wondering what Su Ling's Qilin Martial Soul was.

Wang Yan took a deep look at Su Ling.

"So this is the student Xuan Zi specifically told us to take care of? He cultivated to rank 35 Soul Power at just twelve years old—hiss... This talent is truly terrifying!"

Before this, he had still been lamenting Zhou Yi's fate. Now, he only wanted to clap and cheer.

Expel Su Ling? Had their brains been squeezed by a door?

As the class went on...

Su Ling also gained a rough understanding of Wang Yan.

Wang Yan was indeed an extremely responsible teacher.

First, he recorded all the new students in Class One and categorized them. The assault system had its own teaching plan, while the support system had its own.

At the same time, he did not treat the new students differently based on their rank. He treated everyone equally.

The classroom atmosphere was also very harmonious. When the new students did not understand something, they would boldly raise their hands and ask questions, rather than feeling stifled and heavy as they had before.

Wang Yan also took pleasure in it, explaining everything carefully.

After he finished explaining, he would not ask back like Zhou Yi, "Did you understand?" Instead, he would say in a gentle voice, "Did Teacher explain it clearly?"

Time passed, and soon the entire morning was gone.

Wang Yan announced the end of class.

The new students all gathered around Su Ling in tacit agreement, surrounding him so tightly that not even water could get through. They were extremely curious about how Su Ling possessed such a heaven-defying soul ring configuration.

Su Ling did not explain much. He brushed it off simply, then headed to the cafeteria together with Xiao Xiao and the others.
