Appearance

Zhou Yi initially appears as an elderly woman with gray-white hair coiled behind her head, a wrinkled face, and a sharp, intimidating gaze. After being dragged across Shrek Square, much of the apparent aging on her face is scraped away, revealing considerably younger features beneath. 21 24

• Gray-white hair, usually arranged in a bun. 21
• Layered facial wrinkles and an aged appearance before her defeat. 21
• Her Red Dragon possession covers her hands in fine red scales and surrounds her with dragon flames. 23
• Her face is severely wounded and disfigured during Ling Tianchen's retaliation. 24

Personality

Zhou Yi presents herself as an uncompromising instructor who believes only the strong deserve to remain in her class. She openly calls unsuccessful students “trash,” endorses harsh physical training, and relies on eliminations to enforce her standards. 22

When Ling Tianchen publicly challenges her methods, Zhou Yi attempts to compel the class to validate her as a good teacher rather than address his criticism. Her composure collapses after he questions her advancement record, her treatment of expelled students, and her motives for imposing additional eliminations. 22

She is highly prideful and reacts violently to humiliation. Rather than de-escalating after revealing her Soul Emperor cultivation, she attacks Ling Tianchen twice in the classroom, even after his Ultimate Ice completely suppresses her Red Dragon flames. 23 24

Story Role / Major Arcs

Class One Confrontation

Zhou Yi introduces herself to Class One by declaring that weak students will not pass under her instruction. Ling Tianchen immediately challenges her philosophy, accusing her of using harsh eliminations and exceptional students to protect her advancement record. 22

Unable to regain control of the class through intimidation alone, Zhou Yi unleashes her Soul Emperor aura and orders Ling Tianchen to leave. When he refuses, she attacks him with her Red Dragon martial soul. 23

Defeat by Ling Tianchen

Ling Tianchen uses Mass Ice Seal to freeze Zhou Yi before she can strike him or destroy Xiao Xiao's martial soul. Zhou Yi breaks free but attacks again with her sixth soul skill, only to be sealed in ice once more. 23 24

Ling Tianchen carries the frozen Zhou Yi out of the classroom, slams her into Shrek Square, drags her head through the pavement, and punches her—encased in Ultimate Ice—toward Sea God Lake. 24

Death

Zhou Yi survives Ling Tianchen's punch and lands near Sea God Lake, still trapped and severely injured. Ma Xiaotao, unconscious during an Evil Fire episode and drawn to Zhou Yi's cold aura, mistakes the ice block for a source of relief and embraces it. 26

Ma Xiaotao's released Evil Fire melts the ice and burns Zhou Yi alive. Yan Shaozhe subsequently orders that her death not be reported to the Soul Guidance Department immediately. 26
