Mu En's Fury

"Wang Dong, please, say a few words."

Lin You stepped aside and gestured for Wang Dong to speak.

He could have explained it himself, but that would inevitably have mixed in some of his own agenda. While it felt great to complain, it was ultimately a form of covert coercion, threatening the other party into making concessions for his sake. Doing it once was fine, but doing it twice might make them think he was pushing his luck, relying on his own importance to squander others' goodwill.

So it was better to leave this sort of complaint to Wang Dong. With both of them criticizing her, it would carry more authority.

A little trick from someone who had been out in the world.jpg

Wang Dong felt the pressure around her suddenly vanish, leaving her body incomparably relaxed. Yet traces of fear still lingered on her face. She looked at Mu En, swallowed slightly, then honestly recounted everything that had happened to her and Lin You, without exaggerating a single detail.

Before someone like this, any concealment would probably be useless, right?

Just a few simple sentences made Mu En's brows furrow slightly.

Defying her orders meant immediate expulsion?

Calling students trash?

Using a Soul Emperor's Spiritual Power to suppress students who spoke up?

Taking pleasure in humiliating students' self-respect and dignity?

How could such a person still be a teacher at Shrek Academy? It was utterly outrageous!

And all of this was merely a glimpse of one single morning. If every teacher abused the authority of a homeroom teacher as she did, treating students like toys at will, how would those students view the academy once they grew up?

And if those students later became teachers themselves, would they inflict the same abuse upon their own students?

Resentment and prejudice would pass down through generations like a spiral of death. If Wang Dong of the Clear Sky Sect and Lin You had been maliciously expelled today without his knowledge, would the two children come to hate the academy that had treated them so harshly once they grew up?

At the thought of the hostility of the reclusive Clear Sky Sect, which had close ties with Shrek Academy, and Lin You's twin ultimate powers should he grow up in the Sun Moon Empire, Mu En's heart trembled.

He could not imagine whether Shrek Academy would still exist decades later, after his death, if these two children harbored even the slightest desire for revenge.

And over the years, how many students had been expelled like this? Did they harbor even a trace of indignation toward Shrek?

Shrek Academy had stood for countless years because the Supervision Corps braved life and death to safeguard the continent's peace, because outstanding teachers and students devoted their entire lives one after another, and because virtue and goodwill continued through its legacy!

Not because of Zhou Yi, who had graduated from the Outer Academy and now abused her authority to control her students' lives, tarnishing Shrek's honor and constantly planting hidden dangers for the academy!

Originally, Mu En had turned a blind eye because Zhou Yi had a higher rate of students advancing to the Inner Academy. Though she expelled more students, her husband, Fan Yu, was ultimately the next candidate for Vice Dean of the Soul Tool Department.

But the situation now no longer allowed him to remain inactive. Who knew how many teachers or senior students like this existed in the academy? A dike could collapse from an ant hole. Without a thorough cleanup, the problems might become impossible to reverse in the future.

Thus, Mu En slowly spoke. His voice was low, yet it contained a peculiar force that crossed mountains and rivers to reach the distance with perfect accuracy. "Shaozhe, come see me."

The next instant, an old man in white crossed space in a single step and abruptly appeared beside Wang Dong. He looked respectfully at Mu En and said in a deep voice, "Teacher."

Yan Shaozhe's gaze swept over the two youths, especially Wang Dong. His heart jolted slightly, and a suspicion immediately formed in his mind.

"Take these two children to Freshman Class One, then return for a meeting."

With that, Mu En slowly closed his eyes. His aura steadied, and the terrifying pressure around them vanished completely. Leaves fluttered, cherry blossoms drifted, and threads of coolness rode the spring breeze toward the corners of the academy. Everything had settled, and he seemed like nothing more than an ordinary old man quietly basking in the sun beneath the spring breeze.

"Yes."

Yan Shaozhe nodded. Though he did not know what had happened, as the Martial Soul Department Dean of both the Inner and Outer Academies of Shrek Academy, he possessed an extraordinarily keen political sense of smell—or perhaps a sense of danger. At this moment, he felt a needle-like sting from his teacher's body!

His teacher was angry. How many years had it been since he had displayed such intense emotional fluctuations?

Moreover, a Sea God Pavilion Meeting personally convened by his teacher was rare even once in a century. Every time it happened, it meant the matter had become serious enough to draw the old man's attention—and that he had decided to intervene personally.

"Alright, children. Come with me."

Suppressing his thoughts, Yan Shaozhe smiled at Lin You and Wang Dong. He spread his hands and gently placed them on their shoulders. The next moment, all three vanished from beneath the Dormitory Building.

Freshman Class One.

"That concludes this morning's lesson. Remember it properly. Make sure you eat your fill at noon. Physical training begins this afternoon, and you'll experience what you learned this morning for yourselves. Class dismissed."

After saying that, Zhou Yi turned and prepared to leave the classroom without wasting a moment.

Tap. Tap.

Just then, two footsteps sounded.

After stopping at the entrance to Class One, two shadows stretched in beneath the light, falling within Zhou Yi's line of sight.

The woman wearing a human-skin mask slowly raised her eyes. Expressionless, she looked at Lin You and Wang Dong standing at the door, then could not help letting out a sneer.

Were they like Tai Long and the others she had expelled before? Unable to pressure the Academic Affairs Office, so they had come to make trouble in class?

They really were children, thinking that making a scene meant they were right.

What they did not know was that causing such a disturbance was already enough for her, the homeroom teacher, to personally act and throw these unreasonable students out.

"I'll count to three. If you don't get out, I'll personally have you removed."

Zhou Yi spoke coolly before the entire class.

As she spoke, six Soul Rings suddenly appeared around her. The powerful pressure of a Soul Emperor swept across the room, her cold and imposing intent unmistakable. Clearly, everyone knew this warning was no empty threat.

She really would act.

"Heh heh, Teacher Zhou, just try touching me. Hmph! I'll make sure you realize your mistake immediately."

Wang Dong had begun taunting her to her face as well. She might not have understood everything that had happened today, but she had already realized one thing: she had someone backing her!

More precisely, a very formidable old man was willing to support them. Now she was wide awake.

Back at the Clear Sky Sect, hadn't she caused the entire sect to descend into chaos just like this?

With her pride, she could never accept being expelled by trash like this. And now that she had an even stronger backer, there was no need to be polite to this old hag.

Attack! Get right in her face!

Lin You did not say a word, but the smile on his face was harder to suppress than an AK.

Zhou Yi's expression turned cold, and her figure flashed forward. But the next second, a distinct clap sounded from outside, drawing closer from afar.

That clap was filled with powerful Soul Power. The instant the palms met, it produced a terrifying pressure that ordinary students could not even perceive!

Before Zhou Yi could react, a tall elderly figure was already standing quietly behind Lin You and Wang Dong, as though he had never left.

The moment Zhou Yi saw the white-robed elder's face, her pupils shrank sharply!

"Dean Yan?"

She froze in place like a quail. Her voice came out as a murmur, as though all the bones had been pulled from her body and she had lost every bit of strength.

One more update coming soon.
