Background / History
Bei Bei assigns Tang Chuan to Zhou Yi’s class because of her reputation as the Outer Academy’s strictest homeroom teacher 18. On the first day of Freshman Class One, Zhou Yi declares that she will train only exceptional students. She orders everyone who did not fight during enrollment to run one hundred laps, threatening expulsion for anyone who fails 20 21.
Tang Chuan denounces her teaching methods and leads the class in a boycott. Shrek Academy suspends Zhou Yi from teaching for one week and assigns Wang Yan to replace her. Zhou Yi blames Tang Chuan for her public humiliation 21 22.
That evening, she seals off an alley and attacks Tang Chuan and Huo Yuhao with fireballs. Tang Chuan’s Shadow Clones and Chidori barrage severely wound her, but her One-Word Battle Armor keeps the strikes from killing her. Xiao Yan’s subsequent explosion knocks her unconscious; she lands in front of Huo Yuhao and shields him from part of the blast 24 25. Investigators later find her injured at the scene of Tang Chuan’s and Tang Ya’s deaths. Her presence and a nearby sound-blocking Soul Tool raise suspicion, but the tool’s connection to her is not established 30.
Appearance
Zhou Yi presents herself as an elderly woman, but a human-skin mask conceals a young face 20 24.
- Disguised appearance: Graying hair coiled atop her head and wrinkled skin 24.
- Revealed appearance: A young woman described as beautiful; her mask falls away during the alley fight 24.
Personality
Zhou Yi uses insults, physical punishment, and threats of expulsion to enforce her standards. She treats a willingness to fight as a sign of promise, even when her students object to being punished for avoiding trouble 20 21. After Tang Chuan’s protest costs her a week of teaching, she seeks revenge through a concealed attack outside the academy 22 23 24.

- Her sixth soul skill, Fire Dragon Meteor Shower, rains fireballs over Tang Chuan’s Shadow Clones. It destroys many clones, but does not stop the entire Chidori barrage 24.
