Hearing Zhou Yi personally say the words "I concede," quite a few people felt a wave of satisfaction.
This trip had truly not been in vain!
"It's rare to see Zhou Yi admit defeat herself. This feels incredible!"
"That old woman has been in the spotlight enough over the years. Seeing her lose this time makes me happier than if I'd won myself!"
"Still, that new student in Mu Jin's class is seriously strong! Zhou Yi brought her entire class, yet he still managed to take all of them down by himself!"
As the discussion shifted to Ling Feng, everyone gradually came to their senses and turned their gazes toward him, their eyes filled with gravity and astonishment.
"If defeating Xu Sanshi could be called luck or a coincidence, then defeating every new student in Zhou Yi's class by himself has to be a display of real strength, right?"
"Zhou Yi may like expelling students at random, but any student she keeps is relatively capable."
"So many new students attacked together and still lost. One can only imagine how strong Ling Feng really is!"
"Sigh, it looks like Mu Jin's class will probably take first place in this year's freshman assessment!"
The crowd chattered away, and many teachers sighed one after another.
Having witnessed Ling Feng's strength, none of the classes led by these teachers had outstanding new students capable of contending with him. They were already considering having their students concede outright if they encountered Ling Feng later.
Only two or three teachers wore solemn expressions, as though they were contemplating countermeasures.
Hearing Zhou Yi personally concede, Ling Feng smiled lightly and slowly returned to Class Nine's ranks.
Only then did Mu Jin snap back to her senses.
"Ling Feng, you actually did it!"
"You took down an entire class by yourself!"
"This time, I've really found a treasure!"
Even with Mu Jin's many years of experience leading classes, it was her first time encountering a new student as powerful as Ling Feng.
At that moment, she practically wanted to pick Ling Feng up and spin him around twice.
"Ling Feng, you're actually this amazing!"
"I thought we were joining forces as equals."
"Now it looks like we were the ones getting the better deal!"
Ning Tian had already moved to Ling Feng's side. Her eyes remained fixed on him without blinking as she praised him like a little fangirl.
"I was just lucky."
Listening to the praise around him—especially as these eleven- and twelve-year-old girls surrounded him, chirping away with endless compliments—Ling Feng felt somewhat embarrassed and could only awkwardly rub his nose.
Ling Feng had wanted to find an opportunity to slip away, but they still had an official friendly match against Zhou Yi's class. Mu Jin naturally kept a close eye on him and gave him no chance to run.
After being bombarded with questions by the girls for quite some time, Zhou Yi finally woke Huo Yuhao and the others.
Next came the previously agreed-upon friendly match: five one-on-one battles and five three-on-three battles.
The overall strength of Zhou Yi's class was even greater than Mu Jin had expected. Even with Ling Feng there, guaranteeing victory in one one-on-one match and one three-on-three match, Mu Jin's class still had no certainty of winning.
However, with the unexpected incident of Ling Feng taking on seventy people alone, Zhou Yi's class had already lost its fighting spirit.
The dozen or so students who could still withstand a move or two from Ling Feng had originally been the backbone of Zhou Yi's lineup for this friendly match.
Yet after being instantly defeated by Ling Feng in a single move, even after receiving treatment, there was no way they could return to peak condition.
Of the five one-on-one matches, Mu Jin's class lost only one even without Ling Feng stepping in.
They swept all five three-on-three matches!
Nine wins and one loss!
That was Mu Jin's class's record against Zhou Yi's class this time!
Since Zhou Yi had begun leading classes, she had never suffered such an abysmal result!
Zhou Yi watched from below as her students were defeated one after another. Her teeth clenched and her hands trembled with fury, yet there was nothing she could do.
She had proposed the friendly match, demanded the rule changes, and even agreed to let Ling Feng take on seventy people alone.
If she now led her students away in defeat on the excuse that they were not in good condition, how could she continue to show her face at the academy?
But when she saw the disastrous record of such a crushing defeat, she instead began regretting not leaving with her students earlier.
In the end, beneath everyone's mocking gazes, Zhou Yi led the remnants of her defeated class away from the training ground with their heads lowered.
"Congratulations! This is your first victory at Shrek Academy—and our class's first victory as well!"
"I believe that in the future, you'll shine even more brightly and leave behind your own glorious stories at Shrek Academy!"
Mu Jin smiled at the students in her class and took the lead in applauding.
"We won! We won!"
"This victory is all thanks to Ling Feng! He's the one everyone recognizes!"
"Ling Feng! Ling Feng!! Ling Feng!!!"
Seeing the cheers from his classmates grow louder and louder, to the point that they seemed ready to reach every corner of Shrek Academy, Ling Feng hurriedly waved his hands.
"It's everyone's achievement. Every person's effort was indispensable. This victory belongs to all of us!"
Ling Feng said modestly.
But no one paid him any mind. Everyone rushed over to Ling Feng, hoisted him up, and tossed him into the air.
After making a fuss for quite a while, Mu Jin finally had everyone put Ling Feng down. She clapped her hands to gather them all together.
"To celebrate our victory over Class One, I've decided to give everyone a day off!"
"Those of you with time can go get ready. We'll meet outside the school later."
"I'll cover all expenses for today's outing!"
Mu Jin smiled at the students.
"Awesome!"
Everyone cheered again. If Mu Jin had not stopped them, they probably would have kept tossing Ling Feng into the air for a while longer.
What could be happier than suddenly getting a day off?
Of course, it was having the teacher reimburse the expenses for your day off!
After fooling around for a while, everyone ran toward the dormitories in twos and threes, afraid of being late.
"Teacher Mu, I..."
"You have to go!"
Though Mu Jin was smiling, the expression on her face left no room for argument.
"As the star of this whole thing, wouldn't it be such a buzzkill if you didn't go?"
"But I still need to cultivate."
Ling Feng casually made up an excuse, but Mu Jin simply refused to listen.
"Then all the more reason for you to go relax!"
"You're already the top freshman, and publicly recognized as the number one in the outer academy. You must spend plenty of time cultivating every day."
"In that case, you should rest even more!"
"Go have fun and relax with your classmates. Isn't that great?"
Seeing that he could not win the argument, Ling Feng sighed helplessly and sat down beside Ning Tian to wait for everyone to gather.
While Ling Feng and the others were cheering with excitement, inside Class One's classroom—
The atmosphere in Class One had sunk to its lowest point. Everyone held their breath, not even daring to make a sound.
Zhou Yi stood by the window, her gaze fixed firmly on Ling Feng and his group. After watching them happily gather and leave, she snorted coldly. An invisible pressure radiated from her, making the students in the classroom feel as though they could barely breathe!
"They actually lost!"
"You bunch of useless fools! You actually lost to Ling Feng alone!"
"And in the matches that followed, you ended up with a record of one win and nine losses!"
"Since I, Zhou Yi, began teaching classes, I've never had such a disgraceful record!"
Zhou Yi forced out each word through gritted teeth, her face nearly twisting in rage!
"Everyone, to the training field!"
"Carry fifty kilograms and run until nightfall!"
