The First Lesson of the School Year

For the next two days, Ling Luocheng did not let Ling Feng get out of bed again, only stopping after exhausting him completely each day.

Of course, the two of them were cultivating.

Ever since learning that Ling Feng possessed Ultimate Ice, Ling Luocheng had been looking forward to cultivating with him.

She just had not expected her dream to come true after only one day.

The benefits Ultimate Ice brought Ling Luocheng exceeded her expectations.

After cultivating with Ling Feng for merely two days, her soul power, which had been stuck at a bottleneck, successfully broke through, officially reaching Rank 57.

Ling Feng's improvement was not as obvious as Ling Luocheng's, but he could clearly feel that his soul power had become more condensed than before.

Besides cultivating, Ling Feng had not forgotten the Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue in his system space.

With the experience from the first time, Ling Feng did not make the same embarrassing mistake again.

Both of them had ice attributes. After consuming an appropriate amount of Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue, they used dual cultivation to suppress the evil fire, so naturally, nothing unexpected happened.

The only thing that puzzled Ling Feng was that whenever they rested at night, Ling Luocheng would sleep beside him fully clothed, claiming that staying close to Ultimate Ice was also a form of cultivation.

Ling Feng could not make heads or tails of her.

"Could it be that Sister Luocheng likes me too?"

Ling Feng hooked his thumb and index finger together, rubbing them against his chin.

What he did not notice was that whenever Ling Luocheng slept pressed against him at night, the corners of her lips would always unconsciously curve upward slightly.

Today was the day Shrek Academy's new students began school.

The doors of the white teaching building stood open as the freshmen filed inside in white uniforms. On the left breast of every uniform was the green little monster emblem that symbolized Shrek Academy.

Different grades wore different uniform colors, with white naturally representing the lowest grade—first year.

"That damned Sister Luocheng. Who knew she was such an irresponsible woman!"

Ling Feng cursed as he ran toward the teaching building.

Last night, Ling Luocheng had dragged Ling Feng into cultivating until midnight, yet she had not woken him the following morning.

By the time he opened his eyes, Ling Luocheng had already changed into the fiery red uniform of the inner academy, finished breakfast, and was ready to leave.

He had wanted Ling Luocheng to use her stronger cultivation to take him to the classroom, but she had refused.

Ling Luocheng also had classes to attend today.

Left with no choice, Ling Feng could only race against time.

Although he was not particularly willing to attend Zhou Yi's class.

Du Weilun had helped him move in with Ling Luocheng, after all.

If not for the monk's sake, then for Buddha's.

No matter what, the man had helped him. Ling Feng could not simply refuse to show him some respect.

When Ling Feng hurriedly arrived at the freshmen's teaching building, he happened to hear the bell ring.

As he turned the corner, he ran straight into an ordinary boy about his age.

"Sorry!"

"My apologies."

Both of them apologized instinctively. After apologizing, the boy continued sprinting toward the classroom.

Ling Feng hesitated slightly before following behind him.

Just as expected.

The boy ran all the way to the end of the corridor, confirmed that the sign outside the classroom read Class One, Grade One, and rushed inside without hesitation.

"So it really is Huo Yuhao!"

Ling Feng followed Huo Yuhao into the classroom.

The spacious classroom was nearly full, with only a handful of empty seats left. Huo Yuhao had already sat down beside a little girl.

Ling Feng looked around, only to unexpectedly spot Li Goudan in the corner, waving at him.

By coincidence, there was an empty seat right beside Li Goudan.

"What a coincidence. I didn't think we'd be in the same class."

Once Ling Feng sat down, Li Goudan greeted him excitedly.

"Later, I went to yer dormitory to look for ya again, but I didn't know either of the two people in there."

"Yeah, I moved out. I'm not staying in the dormitory."

"Oh, oh, so that's how it is..."

Li Goudan still wanted to say something, but he glanced toward the doorway and suddenly closed his mouth.

Ling Feng looked toward the door as well, only to see an old woman walk into the classroom.

Her skin was like chicken flesh, her graying hair coiled atop her head. She wore a long white robe and had a medium build.

Without a doubt, she was Zhou Yi, the homeroom teacher of Freshman Class One.

Zhou Yi's gaze carried scrutiny, and an invisible pressure immediately settled over the students' hearts.

When her gaze turned toward Ling Feng's side, Li Goudan, who had never encountered such a scene before, was so frightened that he did not dare move. He lowered his head and remained silent.

Ling Feng, however, met Zhou Yi's gaze directly, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

Seeing that her intimidation had no effect on Ling Feng, Zhou Yi was surprised, and a trace of gloom flashed through her eyes.

In her class, no matter how talented a student was, the first thing they had to do was obey her unconditionally!

If anyone dared challenge her authority, then she would definitely leave that student with an unforgettable memory!

As she stepped onto the podium, Zhou Yi deliberately released an invisible pressure, making the freshmen below fall silent in fear.

"My name is Zhou Yi, and I am your homeroom teacher."

"I'm not sure how many of you will make it through the coming year with me, but I will tell you this: in my class, no trash will ever pass the assessment."

"What I want to cultivate are monsters, not idiots."

Zhou Yi's gaze turned to Ling Feng once more.

Seeing that Ling Feng still remained unmoved, Zhou Yi could not help but frown slightly.

If she could not give these freshmen a proper show of force in the very first lesson, how was she supposed to discipline them in the future?

"Stand up if you've gotten into a fight since registration began."

Zhou Yi had made up her mind, her plan already taking shape.

Hearing Zhou Yi's words, the students below looked at one another, unable to figure out what this teacher was up to.

They had only just entered the academy. Who would go picking fights for no reason?

And even if they had fought, who would admit it?

Just as the entire class remained silent, one person stood up. It was Huo Yuhao.

Seeing Huo Yuhao rise, Wang Dong snorted and stood as well, unwilling to be outdone. His gaze shifted toward Ling Feng.

Seeing this, Ling Feng stood up too.

"Three people?"

Zhou Yi raised an eyebrow. "What a bunch of trash. Only three people fought after all these days?"

"Don't you know our academy's motto? Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocrities!"

"If you don't even dare cause trouble, what will you dare do in the future?"

"Other than those three, all of you get out and run one hundred laps around Shrek Plaza!"

"Anyone who can't finish will be expelled immediately!"

Ignoring the uproar from the class, Zhou Yi looked at the three standing students: Ling Feng, Huo Yuhao, and Wang Dong.

"As for you three."

"Since you dared cause trouble, it means you're different from them. You have the ability to cause trouble."

"Two hundred laps each!"

Hearing Zhou Yi's words, the class, which had been buzzing with objections, quieted considerably.

Compared to that, only running one hundred laps was already a very good outcome.

Quite a few people stood up and prepared to head downstairs, Li Goudan among them.

But there were still many who objected.

It was the first day of school. Class had not even begun, and they were already being sent out to run one hundred laps? Who could accept that?!

At once, a student rose with an angry expression, preparing to argue with Zhou Yi.

However, a calm voice spoke before the student could.

"Sorry, Teacher Zhou."

"I refuse."
