Time always passed quickly in cultivation, and in the blink of an eye, the day of the official opening of school had arrived.

Over the past few days, aside from cultivating, Qian Chaoguang had often gone to the library to look up information and asked around for news, making preparations for after school began.

The doors of the white Teaching Building stood wide open. The new students, dressed in white school uniforms, filed inside, each with a green little monster emblem on the left side of their chest that symbolized Shrek Academy.

Looking at that little green badge, Qian Chaoguang found it hard not to think of a movie called Shrek.

His thoughts wandered like that as he brought Huo Yutong with practiced ease to the first classroom on the left side of the first floor, taking a good seat in the center of the front row ahead of time.

Before long, Wang Dong arrived as well.

Unlike the stifled frustration she showed when sharing a room with him, out in public, Wang Dong seemed to have regained that feeling of looking down on everyone, her face full of arrogance.

Huo Yutong tugged at the corner of Qian Chaoguang's clothes and lowered her voice. "Brother, that person looks so handsome. It's just that he doesn't seem very approachable. He acts like he can't be bothered with anyone, all stuck-up."

Qian Chaoguang gave a derisive laugh and glanced at Wang Dong, who was sitting there pretending to be aloof.

"She's got something wrong with her head. Stay away from her from now on. She's not a good person."

Huo Yutong circulated her Soul Power, her Spirit Eye glowing faintly as she stared hard at Wang Dong a few times, then asked in surprise, "She?"

Douluo Language was ultimately quite different from the Huaxia language; "she" and "he" could be heard directly in speech.

"Don't you think she looks like an arrogant little princess?" Qian Chaoguang asked in return.

Huo Yutong looked a few more times, then hurriedly lowered her head before Wang Dong's gaze turned over, hiding behind Qian Chaoguang.

"She does seem a little like one. Wait, that's not right, Brother, I've never seen what a princess looks like either."

"Uh, you'll get the chance someday. Shh, Zhou Yi is here."

Just as the siblings were talking, someone walked in through the classroom doorway.

It was an old woman with wrinkled skin and white-streaked hair.

From the other party's gaze, the sensitive Huo Yutong felt a powerful spiritual pressure.

Seeing a teacher come in, the previously noisy class instantly quieted down, and all eyes gathered on the podium.

Zhou Yi's gaze calmly swept from left to right. An invisible pressure immediately appeared in everyone's hearts, making them lower their eyes one after another, not daring to meet her gaze.

Except—Qian Chaoguang.

Zhou Yi paused for an extremely brief moment, as if she had not expected a student to be able to meet her eyes so calmly.

But that did not affect the boasting she was about to do next.

"My name is Zhou Yi, and I am your Class Advisor. I'm not sure how many of you will be able to follow me through the coming year, but what I want to tell you is this: in my class, no trash will ever pass the assessment. What I want to cultivate are monsters, not fools!"

After hearing her words, quite a few people showed angry looks.

Aside from Huo Yutong and Qian Chaoguang, everyone present was at least a rich second generation or soul master second generation from the Douluo Three Kingdoms. They had come to Shrek to attend school, so what was with cursing at them the moment they met? Who did she think she was?

Huo Yutong secretly glanced at the slight curve of Qian Chaoguang's lips.

People who were not familiar with him might think this was a friendly expression.

But Huo Yutong knew clearly that it was disdain.

Utter disdain.

How had Brother put it again?

Oh, right. Watching a clown perform.

"Anyone who has fought during these past few days since registration, stand up."

Zhou Yi said that familiar line, causing an uproar throughout the class.

Who would get into a fight before school had even started?

Oh, wait. It seemed they had heard about two new students fighting, and even taking it from inside the dorm to outside the dorm.

Without a word, Qian Chaoguang stood up with Huo Yutong.

Wang Dong was surprised for a moment, but seeing Qian Chaoguang stand, she hurriedly stood up too, unwilling to be outdone.

Three?

How had that fight happened?

No, wait, why was there also a delicate-looking little girl?

That was the question in everyone's minds, including Zhou Yi's.

However, she did not say anything, only put on a stern air and said, "What a bunch of trash. Don't you know that those who don't dare cause trouble are mediocre? Aside from the three of them, everyone else, get out and run one hundred laps around Shrek Plaza. Anyone who can't finish will be expelled immediately."

Of course, wherever there was oppression, there was resistance.

Everyone had already been extremely dissatisfied when Zhou Yi insulted them, so sure enough, at this moment, one thorny character stepped forward and bravely resisted.

But...

This was completely useless. After Zhou Yi used the strength of a Soul Emperor to pressure the whole class, those who had to run still had to run.

As the others rushed out the door one after another, only four people were left in the classroom.

Zhou Yi's expression eased somewhat, and she beckoned to the three of them.

"Not bad. At least there are still a few kids with some spirit in them. Tell me, who were you fighting with, and why?"

Qian Chaoguang pointed at Huo Yutong, who was still in a daze. "She's my younger sister. Ever since our Martial Soul Awakening, the two of us have done morning exercise and sparred every day. You could also call it fighting."

"Siblings? Morning exercise? Sparring?"

Zhou Yi seemed very interested as she said, "That's a good habit. It can help you improve together. Keep it up."

"That was what I thought too," Qian Chaoguang replied.

"Xiao Tong, you go down and run first. Don't waste time here."

"Huh? We have to run even after fighting?" Huo Yutong's eyes went wide.

Zhou Yi gave Qian Chaoguang a thoughtful look and said flatly, "Of course. You're a collective."

"Oh, all right."

Without another word, Huo Yutong turned and left the room.

"You're very smart."

"You flatter me. I've simply been dragging my younger sister along and struggling through society since we were little. While I'm good at gathering information, I also understand a little about how the world works."

"A little?" Zhou Yi raised an eyebrow.

With her emotional intelligence, she completely failed to hear that Qian Chaoguang was insulting her in a roundabout way.

"Forget it. But why aren't you going down yourself?"

Qian Chaoguang shrugged and pointed at Wang Dong beside him.

"Because he was also fighting with me."

"Oh? Then why were the two of you fighting? Was it sparring too?"

"Not exactly. We're roommates. When he arrived, I had just come back from training and wanted to take a shower. He stopped me and wouldn't let me, and then we started fighting."

Zhou Yi: "?"

The look of astonishment froze on her disguised old face. It was especially amusing, and Qian Chaoguang almost failed to hold back his laughter.

She looked at Wang Dong and subconsciously asked, "Why did you stop him from taking a shower?"

"I didn't!" Wang Dong's face flushed bright red as he shouted.

"It—it—it was him first—"

"Enough, enough. I can't be bothered to know what exactly made you two start fighting."

Zhou Yi waved a hand, revealing a smile uglier than crying. The aged Human Skin Mask seemed not to fit quite right, and it twitched slightly.

"Fighting is a good thing, but I don't particularly like my students tearing at each other..."

Listening to her ramble on at length just like in the original work, Qian Chaoguang simply circulated the Qi Refining Art and began cultivating.

Only after Zhou Yi finally finished that huge pile of words, and after Wang Dong talked back to her a few times, did Qian Chaoguang stop cultivating.
