"Third Soul Skill, Fate's Lament."
Behind Ye Chen, the phantom of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion appeared. The vertical Eye of Fate on its brow suddenly shot out a beam of light that landed on Zhou Yi.
The effect of being struck by this Fate Power was simple. No matter what Zhou Yi thought or what action she intended to take next,
under the influence of Fate Power, that action would definitely fail!
Furthermore, during this period, Fate Power would reduce Zhou Yi's defenses to their lowest point.
For instance, just as she tried to defend against Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong's attacks, the very next moment—
Xiao Xiao's Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron and Wang Dong's Wing Guillotine actually pierced through Zhou Yi's defenses at the same time, injuring this Soul Emperor!
"How is this possible?!" Zhou Yi clearly had no idea what had happened.
"Damn it!" When Zhou Yi tried to release a Soul Skill, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have forgotten how to use one!
And because of that one-second pause, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao's attacks descended once more.
"Boom!!!"
The enormous noise immediately drew the attention of the other classes.
Even Du Weilun, the dean of the Shrek Martial Soul Department's outer courtyard, who had been nearby observing the new students' enrollment, was alerted.
"What happened?"
When Du Weilun arrived at Class One, he found Zhou Yi embedded in the wall, covered in blood.
Most of Class One's new students had their Martial Souls activated.
There was no need to think about it. This was clearly a conflict between students and their teacher.
As the Martial Soul Department's outer courtyard dean, known for being fair, rigorous, and impartial,
he pulled Zhou Yi out of the wall. After a preliminary examination, he found that aside from some superficial injuries, she was otherwise fine.
He then began asking what had happened.
"There was no reason. She called us trash, said we didn't dare cause trouble, and wanted to expel us. So we caused some trouble for her to see, to prove that we aren't trash." Ye Chen spoke up.
Ye Chen had not yet withdrawn his Martial Soul. When Du Weilun saw his two purple and one black Soul Rings, he froze.
Although there were indeed several new students with three rings this year, he had never seen such an outrageous Soul Ring configuration as Ye Chen's!
"You still can't attack a teacher!" Du Weilun reprimanded the students of Class One while secretly contacting Yan Shaozhe.
He had long known that the Soul Guidance Department was searching for a Soul Master with a spiritual attribute. Judging from Ye Chen's Soul Power fluctuations,
he happened to possess a spiritual attribute. Though he had injured Zhou Yi today, given the Soul Guidance Department's ways, they might shamelessly come to poach him.
So he had to recruit Ye Chen into the Martial Soul Department before the Soul Guidance Department got to him.
Before long, Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department, arrived.
The moment he entered, he spotted Ye Chen's three unconventional Soul Rings, and his eyes immediately lit up.
"Student, can you tell me what your Martial Soul is?" Yan Shaozhe walked up to Ye Chen and asked.
"Three-Eyed Golden Lion," Ye Chen answered.
At the same time, Ye Chen looked at the dean of the Martial Soul Department. Just as he had expected,
Yan Shaozhe did not care about the details of the incident at all. He only cared about a student's talent and strength.
In the original timeline, before Huo Yuhao revealed his Ultimate Ice ability, Yan Shaozhe barely gave him the time of day.
But once Huo Yuhao exposed himself as having Twin Martial Souls, with Ultimate Ice as his second Martial Soul, Yan Shaozhe immediately turned into a bootlicker and fawned all over Huo Yuhao.
Seriously!
"Three-Eyed Golden Lion?" Yan Shaozhe paused, but his expression soon visibly turned excited.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was the Emperor Auspicious Beast of the Star Dou Forest! Not only did it possess multiple attributes, it also carried Fate Power!
Someone had actually awakened a Three-Eyed Golden Lion Martial Soul! Shrek had truly found a treasure!
But excited as he was, he still had to keep up appearances.
So Yan Shaozhe put on an act and began asking about the situation.
Almost all the students recounted events exactly as Ye Chen had described them.
Just then, a dissenting voice suddenly rang out.
"That isn't true! Teacher Zhou Yi was clearly teaching the students, but Ye Chen took the initiative to provoke her. That was why the two sides started fighting!"
Huo Yuhao suddenly stepped out of the crowd. He had seen the previous events clearly. Zhou Yi had been teaching the students in her own way.
Yet every word Ye Chen said had either questioned or provoked her. That was why Zhou Yi had wanted to subdue Ye Chen and deal with him after class.
Who would have thought that Ye Chen would stir up the other students in the class with just a few words, leading them to resist Zhou Yi together and creating the current situation?
The moment Huo Yuhao said this, the surrounding students cast unfriendly looks at him, including Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao.
They all disliked people who loved tattling.
In their eyes, Huo Yuhao's actions were no different from those of a traitor who had betrayed the student body!
"Is something wrong with him? Why would he say that?"
"Exactly. He didn't even release his Martial Soul just now. We should all stay away from him from now on."
The students whispered among themselves.
Likewise, outside the Sky Screen, whether during the Spirit Hall era or the Dragon King Era,
many students were displeased with Huo Yuhao's actions.
Zhou Yi had clearly insulted them first, and she had even been the one to use Soul Power to attack Ye Chen. Everyone had only retaliated because they could not stand it anymore. How had the whole course of events become something else when Huo Yuhao told it?
Very soon, during the Dragon King Era, a post titled "Spirit Pagoda Founder Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao Had Corrupt Character" shot to the top of the trending searches.
"The Spirit Pagoda's founder, Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao, was already like this when he was young?"
"Seriously, his tolerance is way too low!"
As this post about Huo Yuhao blew up, Shrek Academy's previous negative news really did receive far less attention.
When Qiangu Dongfeng saw the post, he was immediately furious.
"Shrek Academy! Shrek Academy must have used this to suppress the trend!"
Meanwhile, within the Sky Screen, Yan Shaozhe frowned deeply.
Originally, based on the accounts given by Class One's students, he could have simply gone with the flow, replaced the homeroom teacher, and conveniently taken Ye Chen under his wing.
But now that another account had emerged, he had no choice but to reassess the incident.
Yan Shaozhe looked at Wang Dong and asked,
"Is what he said true?"
"No. Zhou Yi said she was going to expel us, and Ye Chen only refuted her because he couldn't stand it. Then Zhou Yi attacked us." Wang Dong answered quickly.
She then shot Huo Yuhao a vicious glare, as if they shared some deep-seated grudge.
Huo Yuhao: "??"
"Alright, I understand," Yan Shaozhe said.
"I'll take Zhou Yi away to treat her injuries first. You may all disperse. Du Weilun, starting tomorrow, you will temporarily take Zhou Yi's place as Class One's homeroom teacher."
"Understood." Having followed Yan Shaozhe for many years, Du Weilun immediately understood what Yan Shaozhe meant.
With the first day's lesson interrupted just like that, Ye Chen returned to his dormitory alone. Then Bibi Dong suddenly asked from within his Sea of Spirit,
"You seem very dissatisfied with Yan Shaozhe?"
