We Shrek people are always like this

Qian Chaoguang casually tossed the contract onto the bed.

"One hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins, five rules. I'll follow them for one year. If you want to continue next year, we'll calculate it separately. Or you can pay me five hundred and fifty thousand Gold Coins in one lump sum, and I'll follow your rules for all six years in the outer courtyard."

Wang Dong's face flushed crimson, and she cried out in utter grief and indignation, "In your dreams! Where would I get that much money?"

"Then there's nothing to discuss."

Qian Chaoguang spread his hands and made as if to leave.

"One hundred and twenty thousand!"

"One year?"

"Six years!"

"Then I'd better leave."

"You you you you you, get back here! One hundred and fifty thousand! Is one hundred and fifty thousand enough? I really don't have that much!"

"Maybe next time."

Before the first afternoon class, the two of them finally settled on the final price.

Two hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins, in exchange for Qian Chaoguang following those five rules for six years.

When it came time to sign and pay, Wang Dong was so heartbroken she was about to cry. Even her signing hand was trembling, and she practically had to grit her teeth to take out seventy thousand Gold Soul Coins in cash.

With a clattering rush, a huge pile covered Qian Chaoguang's entire bed, along with a debt of another one hundred and thirty thousand Gold Soul Coins.

Oh, no. An IOU for one hundred and thirty thousand Gold Soul Coins.

Originally, she had planned to temporarily give only fifty thousand, then pay the remaining fifty thousand after graduation.

However, plans could not keep up with changes. She had not expected Qian Chaoguang to be this ruthless, raising the price by double in one breath!

Now, besides "bastard," Wang Dong had gained another name for Qian Chaoguang—Money-grubber!

Qian Chaoguang had no self-awareness about this whatsoever, and even very magnanimously stated that he would not charge interest, as long as it was settled within a year, which made Wang Dong furious all over again.

As for that, she could only lie in her blanket and silently comfort herself: I bought myself some peace and quiet I bought myself some peace and quiet I bought myself some peace and quiet.

New Student Class One's classroom.

Ten minutes before the afternoon class bell rang, aside from one conspicuously empty seat, the classroom was already full, and it was extremely quiet.

Even if some students wanted to chat with one another, they would unconsciously lower their voices to an extreme.

Although most of them were unhappy with Zhou Yi, nobody was willing to offend a lunatic teacher, especially when you had no idea what damn reason might get you expelled.

Since there was no clear seating arrangement, Qian Chaoguang still brought Huo Yutong to sit in the center of the first row.

In a sense, this Auspicious Place closest to the Class Advisor was probably no less than Avici Hell in everyone else's eyes.

This was very obvious.

After all—

That empty seat was right beside Huo Yutong.

When Zhou Yi slowly walked in, the atmosphere in New Student Class One instantly grew tense, and all whispering came to an abrupt stop.

"Everyone stand. Gather at the plaza."

Zhou Yi left that one sentence behind and departed.

Nobody dared to be negligent. The students surged out of the classroom door one after another, then arranged themselves into an orderly line on their own and followed behind Zhou Yi, arriving at Shrek Plaza.

Zhou Yi, who was walking in front, was very pleased with herself.

Fear had always been what she believed to be the best method of controlling students.

Little did she know, a spring's rebound after being placed under high pressure would only be even more violent.

All of this only needed one hand to gently alter the balance.

After arriving at the plaza, Qian Chaoguang had already seen a pile of chain shirts tossed off to the side.

Sure enough, it was Shrek's ten-thousand-year unchanging old tradition again—weighted running.

"Huo Yutong."

"Here."

Zhou Yi said with a stern face, "I reviewed your entrance exam results and Soul Power Levels, and adding this morning's test to that, as of now, Huo Yutong's Level 27 cultivation is the best among you. Therefore, I announce that from now on, she is the class monitor of New Student Class One. The class monitor position is not fixed. Whoever has the ability to defeat her can become class monitor. Is that clear?"

"Clear."

Aside from Wang Dong, who seemed to be lost in thought, none of the students had any objections to this.

If the Level 21 Wang Dong in the original work had still given people the slightest thought of challenging her, then the Level 27 Huo Yutong simply made it impossible for anyone to raise any other thought at all.

Half the class was even suppressed by Huo Yutong by nine to ten levels. Challenging her would purely be asking for humiliation.

Huo Yutong did not seem to want to be class monitor. She had just been about to speak, but Qian Chaoguang was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and pulled her back.

Zhou Yi pointed at that pile of chains.

"This is called Iron Clothes. It is specifically used to improve physical fitness. One piece per person. Put it on, then start running laps around the plaza. From now until the end of class, keep running. You may use soul power, but you may not use soul skills to assist yourself. You will be ranked according to the number of laps you run. The last-place student will be expelled."

"One thing I will emphasize again: in my class, someone can be expelled at any time. Today, ninety-nine people will become ninety-eight. Begin now."

As she spoke, Zhou Yi flicked her toe, and a suit of Iron Clothes flew in front of Huo Yutong.

Thirty pounds of Iron Clothes was not heavy for the current Huo Yutong. Having trained and forged with Qian Chaoguang since she was young, she carried the weight with ease.

There was even less need to mention Qian Chaoguang. With his physical condition, he felt nothing after putting one on.

The others, however, did not think the same.

Thirty pounds of Iron Clothes was not too heavy for a group of Newbie Spirit Masters who were generally only at rank sixteen or seventeen, but wearing this thing and running for four hours until class ended—

That was a little absurd. No one could possibly finish it.

Zhou Yi said coldly, "I know many of you want to say this is unfair, because boys and girls are naturally different physically, and different Spirit Masters have different constitutions. But I'm telling you, in my class, everyone is treated the same. Think about it. On the battlefield, would the enemy spare you just because your body is weak? Begin running laps!"

Qian Chaoguang frowned almost imperceptibly.

If one only listened to the latter half of what she said, at first hearing, it seemed to make some sense. The battlefield was fair.

But this was very obviously a bait-and-switch.

First, this was training at school, not in the Military Camp, and very few Spirit Masters enlisted after graduation.

Besides, this was physical training, not simulated warfare training.

A good school had always emphasized teaching according to a student's aptitude.

For someone with a body as good as Qian Chaoguang's, this was just a warm-up.

For Wang Dong and Huo Yutong, who were in the first tier, it could actually produce decent training results.

But as for those little girls from the Support System, even if they worked themselves until they coughed up blood, there was absolutely no possibility of finishing.

Making everyone follow the same standard—wasn't that just being shameless?

Second, even on the battlefield, every branch of soldiers had different divisions of labor.

Were you seriously going to force Support System Spirit Masters onto the field to launch a banzai charge and fight the enemy face-to-face?

That was more than a little touched in the head, wasn't it?

If things really reached that point, there was only one possibility—the front-line troops had already been wiped out, all the remaining logistics troops' long-range Soul Tools had failed, and they were waiting in place to die.

At that point, the sturdy body you had trained for years should let you die a little farther away than your comrades.

After Zhou Yi finished speaking, she left, standing far off at the edge of the square and watching this place from a distance.
