Watching the changes in the two teachers' expressions, Du Weilun glanced at them, then looked down at the list in his hand.
"Your name is Li Mu, correct? A support-type Soul Master, currently with only one ring. To injure Dai Huabin with one ring, you must have twin Martial Souls, judging by the look of you."
Du Weilun paused for a moment when he mentioned twin Martial Souls, because twin Martial Souls meant innate full Soul Power.
Under normal circumstances, even without any resources, the boy before him could not possibly have cultivated only to this level.
After all, almost everyone with twin Martial Souls was a genius, even if both Martial Souls were relatively ordinary.
With two Martial Souls existing together, cultivating would not be particularly difficult.
So there might be a reason why the boy before him had such low Soul Power.
Thinking of a few possibilities, Du Weilun's eyes flickered for a moment, and he said:
"You will receive one major demerit. Also, regardless of your grades this semester, you will be stripped of core disciple status."
Du Weilun spoke calmly, but both Mu Jin and Zhou Yi looked at him in puzzlement upon hearing his words.
After all, Li Mu had gravely injured the White Tiger Duke's Mansion's second young master. Under normal circumstances, he would certainly have been expelled.
Or rather, expulsion should have been unavoidable, yet the boy before them had received only a major demerit.
This punishment was actually very severe, but compared with expulsion, or even being killed outright, it amounted to little.
The two women were somewhat puzzled by Du Weilun's sudden change of mind, but neither said anything.
Looking at Dai Huabin lying on the ground, already unconscious from fright,
Mu Jin raised his hand, picked Dai Huabin up, and headed toward the infirmary.
Du Weilun glanced at Zhou Yi, then turned and left.
As Mu Jin and the Soul Master with the restorative Tree of Life Martial Soul left, only Li Mu and Zhou Yi remained.
Faced with this ruthless character who had nearly killed his own classmate on the first day of school,
Zhou Yi's gaze also grew somewhat cold.
Although she advocated fighting and approved of battles between classmates, she also hated students killing one another.
So her gaze toward Li Mu was far from courteous.
"Although Director Du didn't expel you this time, or even punish you according to school rules,"
"this is still a lesson for you. Remember, if anything like this happens again, I will definitely kill you."
"As a teacher, I hope you can foster competition through fighting, but I absolutely don't want to see you killing one another or getting up to this sort of nonsense."
Zhou Yi's voice was cold, her tone carrying an icy chill.
Any normal person would certainly have felt afraid when facing this powerful teacher with the cultivation of a Six-Ring Soul Emperor.
But Li Mu merely glanced at her calmly. "Understood."
His voice was indifferent, and he did not even look her in the eye.
Seeing how little Li Mu cared, Zhou Yi clenched her fists.
She raised her palm, and the power of flames gathered around her.
Her Fire Dragon Martial Soul transformed into a long whip of flame in an instant, then lashed straight toward Li Mu without the slightest pause.
Li Mu froze for a moment at this sudden strike. As the terrifying whip lashed down, he only had time to turn around.
A curtain of water immediately gathered around him, and the powers of water and flame intertwined with a sizzling hiss.
Normally, Li Mu's water attribute could never have blocked Zhou Yi's fire attribute.
After all, there was a gap of nearly five rings between them.
But the water attribute carried by Li Mu's Martial Soul came from the Silver Dragon King.
His current water attribute was even more terrifying than ordinary ultimate water.
Moreover, his innate first ring was stronger than other people's second or even third rings, so when he faced Zhou Yi's lash,
although his water shield was still shattered and the whip still landed on him,
it left only an ordinary lash mark on his body. A tearing pain struck, and Li Mu staggered two steps backward.
Looking at the injury on his arm, he fixed his eyes on Zhou Yi.
Then he began mobilizing power, gathering the Snow Empress's power in an instant.
Within his Sea of Spirit, the Snow Empress frowned. For the boy to attack now would be somewhat too rash.
After all, many powerful people were here. Revealing his strength at Shrek Academy could very well arouse others' suspicions.
But watching the boy's actions, the Snow Empress discovered that she could not stop him at all.
Ever since Li Mu had established a connection with her, he had almost completely ignored her thoughts and wishes.
He forcibly drew power from her body, drawing it out swiftly and ruthlessly.
"This should be Shrek Academy, the number one academy in the world. There should be an ultimate powerhouse stationed here."
"I hope we can escape. It'll be miserable if we can't." The Snow Empress sighed as she spoke.
Originally, she had very much approved of the boy's decision to come to Shrek Academy.
After all, Shrek Academy had abundant resources.
Although he had suffered humiliation this time, he could wait until he had the strength before taking revenge.
There was absolutely no need to act immediately.
After all, the strong had to possess the resolve to accept humiliation. What powerhouse had not been bullied by someone stronger while they were weak? Such things were perfectly normal.
But if the boy before her could not even endure this much, she really would consider whether she should leave.
Li Mu knew nothing of the Snow Empress's thoughts, however. Even if he had known, he would only have scoffed.
He was already the innate Golden and Silver Dragon Kings, someone who would obtain the Dragon God Divinity in the future.
How could he possibly take bullying without fighting back?
Noticing that the boy had blocked her strike, Zhou Yi's eyes also held puzzlement.
But before she could speak, a terrifying spear of ice abruptly formed in the boy's palm.
As the spear thundered down to pierce through her, Zhou Yi frowned at the sight of the boy daring to attack first.
She tried to reach out to block it, but in the next second, the spear pierced her arm, then punched straight through her shoulder as well.
A tearing agony struck, and Zhou Yi could not help letting out a scream.
Feeling the intense pain of the spear piercing through her, along with that terrifying power of extreme cold pouring into her body,
Zhou Yi's body visibly stiffened.
Seizing this opening, Li Mu stepped forward. His right hand shot up, and the Golden Dragon Claw appeared once more.
Then a terrifying punch slammed straight into Zhou Yi's face, knocking her to the ground.
This lofty female teacher had been knocked down by Li Mu the very first time she crossed him.
Feeling the wounds on her face and the teeth that had been knocked out, Zhou Yi stared fixedly at Li Mu.
But Li Mu merely looked down at her calmly. "Get lost. If there's a next time, see whether I dare kill you."
Li Mu's voice was soft. As his words fell, another ice spear formed in his palm.
Sensing that this ice spear rivaled a Soul King's full-power strike, a trace of apprehension flashed through Zhou Yi's eyes.
Then she saw the boy stand there calmly and shut the door.
As the flames around her melted the ice, she stared at her arm, which had turned red and purple.
Feeling the power of extreme cold contained within it, Zhou Yi abruptly clenched her hand.
Only beneath the burning of terrifying flames did her condition ease somewhat.
Looking at the closed door, a flash of anger crossed her eyes. Then she stood, turned, and walked out.
