Huo Yuhao also went to Zhou Yi's office. When he returned, he saw Xiao Xiao looking dejected, but he didn't think much of it—maybe Teacher Zhou Yi had scolded her. Compared to himself, who had just received praise from Zhou Yi, he thought Xiao Xiao must have made another mistake. After all, Teacher Zhou Yi was always right.
But when he returned to Class 1, he happened to glance at the noisy entrance of Class 2. Even Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong were there, the latter indignantly saying something, so Huo Yuhao unconsciously drew closer.
"Don't worry, Xiao Xiao, if Su Wen helps you switch classes, as for the soul bone that goes to the top three, I'll give you mine! It's just a ten-thousand-year soul bone, right? I'll ask my first and second dads for it... If they don't give it to me, I'll hang myself!"
"As for the remaining two..." Su Wen pondered. "We can let them choose the strongest member from the already eliminated teams to join them. That's the best that can be done."
Besides, Chen Yanjin had long been noticed by the academy, and Huo Yuhao even more so—Zhou Yi treasured him. Even if he didn't get the academy's reward, Zhou Yi would probably pay out of her own pocket.
"Right!" Wang Dong nodded repeatedly.
Hidden in the shadows, Huo Yuhao's eyes widened.
What?!
Xiao Xiao is leaving too?
At such a critical time?
Can't she even accept a few words of criticism from the teacher after making a mistake?
Furthermore, if Xiao Xiao leaves, the little bit of team coordination they'd just built would be gone. Would they have to start over? He had been abandoned by Wang Dong before, and now by Xiao Xiao? What was Class 1 supposed to be, a place you could come and go as you pleased? What about Zhou Yi's dignity?
The more Huo Yuhao thought, the angrier he became. He felt it was unfair to Teacher Zhou Yi, who had raised such ungrateful students.
"Yuhao, let Brother Skydream teach you a trick, hehe..."
In the Sea of Spirit, Skydream laughed mischievously.
"But Brother Skydream... isn't this going too far?" Huo Yuhao was still a pure-hearted youth. Even though he was angry and somewhat wanted to break through this barrier, his mother's teachings still lingered in his ears, and his bottom line remained.
"Hehe, and they're not going too far? Do they even treat you as a person?" Skydream said slowly, "Yuhao, if you really want to avenge your mother, there are some things you need to let go of, you need to be ruthless. If that twin martial soul girl leaves, how will you get into the top three?"
Huo Yuhao clenched his teeth.
If you're heartless, don't blame me for telling the teacher!
He squeezed through the crowd and hurried toward the office.
Skydream grinned, hiding his merits and fame, and sighed in his heart: Boy, you'll understand Brother Skydream's good intentions one day. To climb up, becoming a core disciple and getting a soul bone are crucial, especially for someone like you who is currently lacking resources—it's a lifesaver. As for that girl, being forced by Zhou Yi to add a soul ring to her second martial soul... just treat her as a stepping stone on your path to success.
But neither Huo Yuhao nor the silkworm noticed—
Su Wen smirked.
...
"What?! There's such a thing?!"
Zhou Yi was furious.
She slammed the table and stood up.
The aura of a Soul Emperor surged in the office, pressing down on the surrounding Class 1 students until they could barely breathe.
"So this is the strength of a Soul Emperor..." With Skydream's explanation, Huo Yuhao was shocked to learn that his seemingly strict but gentle teacher Zhou Yi was actually a Soul Emperor!
"Nothing bad will happen, right?" he worried.
Xiao Xiao wouldn't get beaten to death by Teacher Zhou, right?
"Don't worry, Zhou Yi knows her limits," Skydream Iceworm said slowly.
Indeed, it wasn't a glorious matter—not something to be publicly exposed.
But as long as Zhou Yi threatened and persuaded her, using her status as a teacher to pressure Xiao Xiao into returning, things could still turn around. As for Su Wen and Wang Dong, though they were troublemakers, as long as Xiao Xiao was handled, everything was manageable.
"Let's go, take me to see!"
Zhou Yi grabbed Huo Yuhao, her aura becoming scorching, red dragon wings unfurling behind her with a low dragon roar, and flew straight toward the new Class 2.
"What's that? A red dragon?"
"That's Zhou Yi, the head teacher of Class 1! What happened?"
"Such powerful pressure—is this the strength of the outer courtyard teachers?"
"..."
The students below whispered and called their friends to watch the commotion.
Class 2.
Once Zhou Yi landed with Huo Yuhao, her aura enveloped the entire class, making it hard to breathe.
She walked into the classroom with a hostile expression, eyes fixed on the trembling Xiao Xiao.
"Quick, go find Teacher Mu Jin!" a student whispered, but then learned that Teacher Mu Jin was not at the academy and fell into despair.
Wang Dong's throat bobbed, but she still stood in front of Xiao Xiao, glaring at Zhou Yi.
She had just been spouting bravado—calling her an old witch, a beast—but now she was at a loss for words, even her legs felt weak from Zhou Yi's pressure.
"Xiao Xiao, come to the office with me."
Zhou Yi looked around, feeling pleased. As a teacher, as long as she calmed Xiao Xiao down, this matter could be smoothed over.
She glanced smugly at Su Wen.
Trying to fight me?
Still too green.
But the next moment, Xiao Xiao mustered her courage: "Sorry, Teacher Zhou, I don't want to stay in Class 1 anymore!"
The room fell silent.
Only Xiao Xiao's stubborn gaze remained.
"What? Got wings now, huh?" Zhou Yi narrowed her eyes and snorted coldly.
She reached for Xiao Xiao.
...
"What, Director Du isn't here?" Xie Huanyue was stunned.
The office door was locked.
He'd just heard from another teacher that Teacher Du had taken the new teachers to a meeting at the inner courtyard, apparently about the next stage of the tournament and some rewards. Teacher Mu Jin was there too, but Zhou Yi had taken leave.
"Can you ask when they'll be back?"
"Maybe tonight if we're lucky, otherwise tomorrow..."
The teacher shrugged helplessly and walked away.
Xie Huanyue: "Sigh, we'll just have to wait. There's a cafeteria nearby, let's wait there..."
...
Slap!
Just as Zhou Yi was about to touch Xiao Xiao's collar—
Her hand was suddenly slapped away.
The crisp sound caught everyone's attention.
"Su Wen?! What are you doing!"
Zhou Yi was shocked and angry.
She was shocked by his strength, and angry that he dared to lay a hand on her.
"Are you going to leave on your own, or should I help you?" Su Wen smiled lightly.
"What?" Zhou Yi thought she'd misheard.
A freshman, daring to tell her to get lost?
Even if you have connections in the inner courtyard, with Mu Jin gone and all the new teachers in a meeting, you dare tell me to leave? Where's your confidence coming from?
Everyone in Class 1 was stunned into silence.
Usually, they'd curse the old witch in private, but to say it to her face?
Not even bros would dare.
