Ice-Sealed Soul Rings

Just as Zhou Yi was feeling surprised, Huo Yuhao, who was seated beside Xue Ningbing, also stood up. Clearly, he too had not been affected by the pressure of Zhou Yi's Soul Emperor aura.

Seeing the two of them rise with calm expressions, Zhou Yi froze.

Were freshmen these days really this strong? Even she, a Soul Emperor, could not intimidate them?

But when Zhou Yi looked at the other students in the class, she realized that the problem was not with her. Rather, these two had become strong enough to be immune to her aura.

Before Zhou Yi could feel too much surprise, Huo Yuhao, guided by Xue Ningbing, released all of his chill.

Their fingers interlocked, and all the cold gathered around their clasped hands. A powerful icy current erupted from their fists.

Zhou Yi was shocked by the direction they intended to attack, but she did not pay it much mind. They could not possibly seal her soul rings, could they? That was simply impossible.

Just as Zhou Yi was feeling lucky, reality slapped her in the face the next moment. The icy current directly froze all six of her soul rings.

The instant Zhou Yi's six soul rings came into contact with the icy current, they froze into circular ice rings.

Thick ice directly erased the soul power from the soul rings.

The students who had originally been suppressed by Zhou Yi glared at her furiously once they felt the pressure disappear.

What kind of teacher made up random excuses to punish them by making them run laps on the first day? If the reason had been legitimate, they would not have refused to run.

But the key issue was that they were being made to run laps for not fighting. Could they interpret that as meaning anyone who fought would not have to run laps?

Seeing that the situation was turning bad, Zhou Yi snapped, "You trash actually want to defy your homeroom teacher?"

"Let's go! We're filing a complaint right now!" someone shouted from the crowd, and the other students joined in despite attempts to stop them.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao smiled faintly. "Looks like we won't need to change classes after all. Zhou Yi is the one who'll face severe punishment."

Xue Ningbing did not say much after hearing Huo Yuhao's words. She merely nodded.

The moment she heard that they wanted to report her, Zhou Yi, who had been so arrogant before, began to feel somewhat afraid. If an entire class reported her this time, she might be expelled outright while she was still under observation.

"Go ahead and try reporting me! Whoever dares to report me, I'll make sure all of you leave Shrek!"

Not only did Zhou Yi show no intention of placating them, she continued threatening them instead.

It had to be said that Zhou Yi could be incredibly one-track-minded at times. She simply did not know how to think things through.

She had thought her words would have some deterrent effect, but to her surprise, the students of Class One did not take her seriously at all.

It was like playing music to a cow.

All the students of Class One collectively went on strike.

The students of First Grade Class One all headed to the office of Du Weilun, the dean of studies.

Seeing that they were all students from First Grade Class One, Du Weilun felt a headache coming on.

They all rushed to complain about Zhou Yi.

"Enough! All of you, quiet down!" Du Weilun's single sentence immediately silenced them all.

"You, speak!" Du Weilun spotted Huo Yuhao in the crowd at a glance.

Huo Yuhao was somewhat dumbfounded after being singled out. He had only come to watch the drama—how had this ended up involving him?

Left with no choice, Huo Yuhao recounted everything that had happened ten-odd minutes earlier.

After hearing Huo Yuhao's account, Du Weilun only felt his headache worsening.

This Zhou Yi only knew how to cause him trouble.

Du Weilun could only calm the Class One students for now. "All right, students, I know you're angry. I'll give you a satisfactory answer regarding Zhou Yi. I'll suspend her from teaching for a while, and the later punishment will need to be discussed."

It was only the first morning of school, yet Zhou Yi had already received a collective complaint from a hundred students.

"Then, Director Du, what about our classes this morning?" one student asked about the upcoming arrangements.

Du Weilun answered, "Since today is the first day, it won't be much of a problem if you don't attend class."

"This morning, you only need to return to your dormitories and cultivate without disturbing the students of other classes. This afternoon, I'll temporarily assign a teacher to replace Zhou Yi and teach you."

"Afterward, I'll find a new homeroom teacher for you."

Hearing Du Weilun's words, the students of Class One finally felt relieved.

Under Du Weilun's persuasion, they all left his office.

Just as Huo Yuhao and Xue Ningbing were about to leave with the crowd, Du Weilun stopped them and kept them behind.

After all the students had left the office and he confirmed that no one was listening outside, Du Weilun looked at Huo Yuhao and Xue Ningbing.

Du Weilun said to them, "Shrek has already resolved your household registration issue. Now, you two have official identities."

"Household registration?" Xue Ningbing was confused. It was her first time hearing those words.

Du Weilun explained, "Simply put, household registration is something every person must have after being born. Some time ago, we investigated your backgrounds. Although it is not uncommon for people in the world to share names, their martial souls, attributes, and ages were completely different from yours. That was why we believed you really were orphans."

"While investigating, we also noticed that neither of you appeared in the records of any country. So we contacted the king of the Dou Ling Empire and had him arrange household registrations for you. If Shrek were a nation now, we really would have wanted to register you under Shrek City, but in the end, it is only an academy."

"Although your registrations are under the Dou Ling Empire, you will always be one of Shrek's own."

Huo Yuhao asked, "Then, Director Du, why did you choose the Dou Ling Empire from among the three countries?"

Du Weilun replied, "That is because the son of the Dou Ling Empire's princess, a member of the Xu Family, has close ties with Shrek's upper ranks. It was faster this way."

"So that's how it is." Huo Yuhao roughly understood why. He remembered that in his previous life, his sister had told him that before he appeared, she had relied on absorbing Senior Xu Sanshi's water-element power to ease her evil fire.

To a certain extent, this could also be understood as Shrek having a very good relationship with the Xuanming Sect in secret.

Then Du Weilun said to Xue Ningbing, "Xue Ningbing, you can head back first. I'll take Huo Yuhao to see Dean Yan."

"Mm." Xue Ningbing gave a simple reply before leaving.

Before leaving, Xue Ningbing also gave Huo Yuhao a meaningful look.
