A Clash of Wills Between Mu Jin and Zhou Yi, Wang Dong'er is on Her Period? What?!

"If you don't want to get expelled, then get moving!"

Beside the field, Zhou Yi's face was cold and stern, her gaze fixed hard on the track. Under her urging, the students of Class 1 could only grit their teeth and squeeze out every last bit of strength.

A graceful pink-and-blue figure stood out dazzlingly from the crowd.

Her gorgeous long hair, fading from pink into blue, had been soaked through with sweat. It was no longer light and flowing, but hung heavy and tangled around her jade-white neck.

A few damp wisps of hair clung tightly to her cheeks, flushed red from the intense exercise.

As her breathing grew rapid, the rise and fall of her chest became increasingly violent, and the pink bow at her collar trembled uneasily with it. Her pale-blue inner shirt was darkened by sweat, faintly outlining the girl's delicate yet firm curves.

The uniform with gold-trimmed edges pulled taut with her movements, cinching her slender waist just right.

Below, her pale-blue pleated skirt fluttered like a startled butterfly each time her long legs pushed explosively off the ground, the exposed lines of her legs shimmering in the sunlight with a crystalline, watery sheen.

(Tried using an AI-generated image. Not sure if it's any good.)

Damn Zhou Yi... She knows I'm on my period right now, but she's still making me run laps under the blazing sun. She doesn't even have the most basic sympathy a woman should have for another woman. What right does someone like that have to be a teacher! Wang Dong'er cursed inwardly while gulping down rough breaths.

If this had been an ordinary day, a mere hundred laps would already have been finished by now. But it just had to be when she was on her period.

Just wait. Once this was over, she was definitely going to tell Eldest Dad and Second Dad about this!

She, Wang Dong'er, had lived for over ten years and had never suffered such targeted treatment, such malicious targeting.

"Wang Dong'er?" Seeing the graceful figure running hard on the field, Zhuang Minghui froze in place.

Was the butterfly effect he had brought about a little too big?

The Tang God King actually had not forcibly intervened in Wang Dong'er's decision, allowing her to enter Shrek disguised as a boy and become roommates with Huo Yuhao, the child of destiny.

Following Zhuang Minghui's gaze, Gu Yue also noticed Wang Dong'er's figure. "You know her?"

"No, but I do know the dead-last straggler at the back." Zhuang Minghui pointed at Huo Yuhao, who was bringing up the rear.

But this time, Gu Yue's gaze did not follow the direction Zhuang Minghui pointed. Instead, it remained on Wang Dong'er.

After hesitating for a while, Gu Yue slowly said, "I can sense that her soul power faintly reveals divine power."

"Huh? Divine power?" Zhuang Minghui deliberately froze, then looked at Gu Yue with some amusement. "Gu Yue, stop messing with me."

"That Wang Dong'er is only a twenty-second-rank Soul Grandmaster. How could she possibly have divine power? I'm a Soul Ancestor and even I can't sense it, so how could you, a Soul Elder, sense it?"

As he spoke, Zhuang Minghui raised his hand and first touched Gu Yue's forehead, then touched his own, muttering, "You don't have a fever either. What nonsense are you talking about?"

Gu Yue slapped Zhuang Minghui's hand down with some disdain and gave him a sideways glance. "Forget it. I'm not talking to you about this."

"Huff... huff... huff..."

On the track, Huo Yuhao ran as if his life depended on it, constantly panting heavily.

Right now, he had only completed thirty-four laps and had already fallen far behind everyone else.

If he did not finish a hundred laps by the end of the morning, then his entire life would be over.

He had finally obtained the chance to join Shrek through Tang Sect. Was he really going to be expelled on the very first day?

No. He refused to accept that!

He absolutely could not be expelled on the first day.

If that happened, how would he have the face to see Senior Brother and Sister Xiaoya?

"You two look rather relaxed."

A voice carrying a hint of teasing and charm rang out behind Zhuang Minghui and Gu Yue.

The two turned around and saw Mu Jin.

"Teacher Mu."

Mu Jin smiled and nodded lightly, then looked toward the place Zhuang Minghui and Gu Yue had been gazing at just now.

She clearly sensed the fluctuations of soul power on the field.

After sensing those soul power fluctuations, the smile on Mu Jin's face would not stop.

"That's it? That's all?"

She roughly sensed the soul power ranks of Zhou Yi's students.

For now, the one with the highest soul power rank in Class 1 was that little pink-haired girl.

The rest were completely nothing to fear.

If she could snatch that little pink-haired girl into their class... hehe.

Wouldn't Zhou Yi lose a major asset?

Then wouldn't the rest all just be small fry?

However...

She really had not expected that old thing Zhou Yi, despite clearly knowing that the little pink-haired girl was on her period, would still make her run laps. She was practically delivering the girl straight to Mu Jin's mouth.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Zhou Yi, as a fellow woman, I feel ashamed for you."

Mu Jin's voice was not loud, but it traveled precisely into Zhou Yi's ears.

Zhou Yi's brows furrowed, and her cold, severe gaze snapped over. When she clearly saw that the newcomer was Mu Jin, her face instantly darkened.

"Mu Jin, instead of properly handling your Freshman Class 9, what are you doing coming to the field occupied by my Class 1 to make trouble?" Zhou Yi's voice was hoarse and icy, without the slightest trace of warmth.

Mu Jin, however, was not afraid in the least. A faint smile hung at the corner of her mouth. "I'm not here to make trouble. I simply couldn't stand watching certain people's teaching methods mislead the students."

Zhou Yi gave a cold snort and said, "Are you trying to say that the teaching methods I use, which have produced the highest advancement rate, are misleading the students?"

"Before you've achieved the highest advancement rate yourself, you're not qualified to say that. Get as far away as you can."

Why? Why?

Why was Mu Jin assigned two Soul Elders and a Soul Ancestor-level monster, while the strongest student Zhou Yi had been assigned was Wang Dong'er, that Great Soul Master?

Targeting. This was blatant targeting!

If she did not use some special methods, how was she supposed to maintain the highest advancement rate?

"Don't be so angry, Teacher Zhou." As she spoke, Mu Jin extended a fair finger and pointed through the air at Wang Dong'er on the track, whose face was pale and whose steps had already begun to falter. She clicked her tongue and sighed. "Zhou Yi, if I remember correctly, Shrek Academy's school rules are to teach students according to their aptitude, not to blindly torment them, right?"

"That little girl is on her period. Her body is already weak, yet you're punishing her by making her run a hundred laps under this blazing sun. Are you training your student, or are you deliberately damaging her foundation? Hm?"

As soon as these words came out, quite a few students on the track who were gritting their teeth and persevering subconsciously glanced over.

Mu Jin's words did not make Zhou Yi realize anything. She snorted coldly and said, "My class is not something you get to interfere with! If you enter Class 1, you have to accept Class 1's rules."

"If she can't even endure this little bit of hardship, then when she fights as a soul master in the future, will her opponent let her off just because she's on her period?"

"If she can't take it, then she should get out of Class 1 as soon as possible!"

Zhuang Minghui saw through Mu Jin's intentions. He turned his head to look at Gu Yue and said, "Poaching someone from Zhou Yi's hands? What do you think?"

He found it a little hard to understand. By all rights, Wang Dong'er's physical constitution should not be like this. How could this situation have appeared? Could it be that the Tang God King's invisible hand had gone to work, making Wang Dong'er's physical condition no different from that of an ordinary girl?

Gu Yue glanced at the pale-faced Wang Dong'er and said, "I'll look with my eyes closed. Female soul masters mature earlier than ordinary women, and their periods also come very late. This Wang Dong'er really is unlucky—her period happened to come today."

"If she's made to keep running, who knows what kind of accident might happen."
