Time Acceleration: Hurry Up and Become an Old Crone!

To be honest, what happened before their eyes was far too sudden.

No one had expected Zhou Yi to dare attack directly after losing the argument. Wasn't that a little too arrogant?

Did she really take Lin Fan for an ordinary student? But their conversation had made it clear that Lin Fan was an Inner Court teacher. Both were teachers, but an Inner Court teacher was far more impressive than an Outer Court teacher.

Quite a few students could not help closing their eyes, too afraid to keep watching.

An Outer Court teacher raising her hand to slap an Inner Court Titled Douluo teacher... Just imagining it made them feel that something terrible was about to happen.

Then, the next instant, a crisp slap rang out.

When the students who had closed their eyes opened them, they discovered something rather strange. Zhou Yi's slap had actually landed squarely on her own face.

Those students had not seen the entire process. They only saw Zhou Yi slap herself and assumed that, though she was angry, she did not dare truly act against an Inner Court teacher. She could only slap herself to admit her mistake.

"So Zhou Yi is the type who bullies the weak and fears the strong..."

Someone muttered to himself.

"She's always explosively bad-tempered around us, threatening expulsion at the slightest disagreement. Yet before an Inner Court teacher, she doesn't even dare let out a peep and only dares slap herself?"

This thought spread through the minds of many students, and the way they looked at Zhou Yi gained a subtle change.

But the students who had watched the entire scene with their eyes open were stunned. They had clearly seen Zhou Yi's swinging hand twist in an incredibly unnatural arc just before it reached Lin Fan's face, then smack firmly into her own cheek.

Only those who had seen Lin Fan make a move before knew how this had happened. While everyone was still frozen in shock, Lin Fan casually waved his hand again.

Zhou Yi immediately flew into the air and ended up hanging from the fork of a large tree nearby. Her legs dangled in midair as she swayed back and forth from the branch.

Lin Fan looked at Zhou Yi hanging from the tree, a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, and slowly spoke with a chuckle.

"I don't have that much time to waste here with you. You should focus on showing the students the authority you have as a teacher."

After saying that, Lin Fan did not spare Zhou Yi another glance. He turned and walked into the distance.

Leng Yaozhu and Ling Luochеn hurriedly followed him.

However, no one noticed that when Lin Fan waved his hand, an invisible force had quietly entered Zhou Yi's body.

It was the power of Lin Fan's second Martial Soul: time.

After that blueprint had been completed, Lin Fan's Time Martial Soul had been strengthened further. The new ability he gained was the power to accelerate a person's time.

In other words, to accelerate a person's aging.

Of course, with Lin Fan's current strength, he could only accelerate a single target by five years at most.

That was nothing much for a young person, but for someone already in the twilight of their years, it could be fatal.

Naturally, Lin Fan did not make the effect appear immediately. Instead, he set this time ability to take effect one month later.

He glanced at Zhou Yi, still struggling as she hung from the tree, and felt no great stir in his heart.

Since Zhou Yi liked wearing the mask of an old crone, he would help her out and make the skin beneath that mask match it as soon as possible.

Lin Fan had not originally planned to seek trouble with Zhou Yi. After all, there were quite a few rotten elements in Shrek Academy, and he could not be bothered to deal with them one by one.

But Zhou Yi had insisted on walking into the line of fire, so she could not blame him.

Only after Lin Fan and the other two had gone far away did Zhou Yi jump down from the tree.

Getting down from a tree was no difficult task for a Soul Emperor, but losing face was not something that could be brushed aside so easily.

After landing, Zhou Yi's expression was extremely gloomy. Her eyes swept over every student present as she shouted coldly.

"What are you looking at?! Who told you to stop?!"

"All of you, run another two hundred laps! Anyone who fails to finish will be expelled immediately!"

"If I find out that any of you told anyone about what happened today, don't even think about staying at the academy!"

"I will report that Lin Fan to the academy for handling! Don't think you can act as wantonly as that bastard!"

"As long as I, Zhou Yi, am still here, don't even think about defying my rules!"

"It's true that I can't do anything to him for now, but you people? If I want to, not one of you will remain here!"

Hearing this, the students' expressions all turned ugly, yet none of them dared argue back.

Zhou Yi stood where she was and watched the students' retreating figures. Her chest heaved violently, her entire body trembling with rage, and her eyes were filled with humiliation.

Ten thousand years later, the people before the Light Screen were also stunned by this scene.

Someone could not help speaking in a low voice.

"This Zhou Yi... is pretty crazy."

"When she can't win an argument, she attacks. When she can't win a fight, she makes the students run laps. Isn't that completely absurd? Is she even a teacher?"

"Exactly. She even throws her weight around to suppress others. What a display of authority."

The head of the Leng Family opened a book beside him that recorded Huo Yuhao's life. The book clearly documented Zhou Yi's importance to Huo Yuhao's growth.

It described her as an outstanding teacher who was somewhat protective of her own. Huo Yuhao's ability to reach where he was today was, it said, in no small part due to Zhou Yi.

The head of the Leng Family looked at the records in the book, then raised his head to look at Zhou Yi's bedraggled appearance on the Light Screen.

"What this book says... is far too different from what we're seeing on the Light Screen, isn't it?"

Zhou Yi was making a complete spectacle of herself on the Light Screen. There was no trace of an outstanding teacher in her at all.

Quite a few students who had originally planned to enroll at Shrek Academy also stopped in their tracks after witnessing this scene on the Light Screen.

They had originally longed for this holy land of soul masters, believing that studying at Shrek Academy would be an incomparably glorious honor.

But now... it seemed that was not quite the case.

The teachers in the Shrek Academy shown on the Light Screen all seemed rather abnormal.

At the very least, how did teachers like Yan Shaozhe, Du Weilun, and Zhou Yi resemble what one would expect from a renowned academy with a ten-thousand-year legacy?

The more closely they looked, the more blemishes they found. Who was to say that Shrek Academy in their era was not the same?

"If the teachers from ten thousand years ago were all like this... then what about Shrek Academy today?"

"With such a high elimination rate, could the teachers' methods also be similar to those from ten thousand years ago?"

"Maybe they aren't as extreme as Zhou Yi, but perhaps they just do it in another way..."

For a time, many people began to have second thoughts, and their previously firm desire to enroll began to waver.

At that moment, in the office of the dean of Shrek Academy's Martial Soul Department, the dean received a message from his subordinates.

"Dean, we have just received word..."

"The Leng Family has officially canceled its exchange program with our academy. And it isn't just the Leng Family; several other families have canceled as well..."

"Furthermore, the number of students originally intending to apply to Shrek Academy has dropped by thirty percent..."

The expression of Shrek Academy's dean was exceedingly unpleasant. Could a single Light Screen really destroy Shrek Academy's twenty thousand years of prestige?

Absurd!
