Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

Chapter 19: Zhou Yi's Domineering Manner

As soon as the words came out, many students showed anger on their faces. They were all outstanding talents selected from various academies, the best among their peers. Now, they were being so belittled by this old woman.

Bang!

Even though the old woman had just displayed the cultivation of a six-ring Soul Emperor, someone couldn't bear the humiliation and slammed the table. It was a beautiful little girl with blue hair, her face flushed with anger. "Teacher, is this the way of education at Shrek? Could it be that you were born a Soul Emperor?"

"That's right. Besides, is it something to be proud of that you reached the Soul Emperor level at your age, Teacher?" Following the blue-haired girl, a boy with a buzz cut stood up and said slowly. He seemed to not take the Soul Emperor seriously, but in reality, he was showing off in front of everyone, commonly known as posturing.

Zhou Yi didn't respond immediately but waited for a moment. After seeing that no other students jumped out, she continued, "I don't care about the academy, but this is my teaching method. If you can't accept it, you can go to the Dean's office to apply for a transfer or just get lost. As the head teacher of Class One, I have the right to expel any student."

While speaking, the six soul rings reappeared around Zhou Yi. However, this time, she only targeted the blue-haired girl and the buzz-cut boy who had refuted her. The others didn't feel any discomfort. On the other hand, the blue-haired girl's body was stiff and unable to move, cold sweat dripping down her face. The buzz-cut boy was in an even worse state, directly pressed to the ground by the pressure, benches and tables falling in disarray.

As soon as the words fell, the students rushed out. Many people felt as if they were facing not a mentor but a Tyrannosaurus Rex that could lose control at any time, and a female one at that.

A gentle breeze stirred, the sun shone brightly, the sky was as blue as a wash, and there wasn't a cloud in sight. On Shrek's playground, a large group of teenagers in white school uniforms were sweating like rain. Nearly half an hour had passed since the beginning. The people running at the front were competing with each other, everyone vying for first place. Wang Dong was also among them, and he was far ahead. Except for the first dozen or so people, the rest were the main force, numbering nearly a hundred. Huo Yuhao was mixed in, with no intention of standing out. Zhou Yi only said to run one hundred laps and didn't say there would be a reward for whoever ran the fastest.

With his temperament, he naturally disdained competing for victory, but right now, his persona was that of an ordinary, inspirational poor boy, and he shouldn't reveal too much shrewdness.

Not far away, Zhou Yi stood with her hands behind her back, her eyes sweeping over the students one by one, without a trace of emotion. Her original intention was just to give these arrogant youngsters a warning. It was impossible to see the details of these freshmen just from the penalty run. Just like in the field, some people rushed to the front but were already red in the neck and breathing rapidly, struggling to support themselves for a little bit of pitiful competitiveness. Others were more calm, maintaining a uniform speed, mixing in the back, their faces not red and their breath not panting, clearly pretending to be pigs to eat tigers. Huo Yuhao was obviously one of them.

Of course, there were also stragglers, but only a few, not worth mentioning. As far as the current situation was concerned, Zhou Yi was relatively satisfied with this year's freshmen, except for a few who were trying to be crafty.

With ten minutes left until Zhou Yi's stipulated time, all the freshmen had completed their goals, gathering together in a chaotic manner. Some had slightly red faces, some were bent over, their hands on their knees, panting heavily, and others were even more unbearable, simply collapsing to the ground, their sweat-soaked their brand-new school uniforms.

It is worth mentioning that the blue-haired girl and the buzz-cut boy who initially refuted Zhou Yi also completed the task. They ran twenty more laps than the other freshmen but were not the last to finish. From this, it seemed that their arrogance also had a certain amount of capital.

Zhou Yi walked over expressionlessly and said lightly, "Cheng Cheng, Qiu Jianrao, Tang Dao, Shangguan Chentian, Lin Zeyu, Zhuge Yun, Qin Long, Tang Mo, Yun Xiaopiao, those whose names I have called, step forward."

After a moment of silence, the nine people who were named walked out one by one and stood in a row in front of Zhou Yi, but most of them looked unnatural.

More freshmen looked at Zhou Yi in surprise. They were all freshmen and hadn't done any self-introductions before, but this head teacher was able to accurately call out their names, which showed that she had done some research in advance.

"You nine can go back and pack your luggage and leave the academy. From now on, you are no longer students of Shrek."

"What?" Several people were shocked, and so were the other students, not understanding why this head teacher would do this. This was cutting off someone's future. It was nothing to fail to get into Shrek, it wasn't embarrassing, and everyone could understand it. After all, Shrek was the number one academy on the continent, and the threshold was very high.

But being expelled after being admitted was another matter. Others would think about what these people had done wrong, and it would definitely not be a glorious thing to spread. If it was a scholastic aptitude test that was brushed off and persuaded to quit, it would be okay, but these newly admitted freshmen were expelled, which had to make people guess. Those who didn't know would think that these people had done something sneaky that the academy couldn't tolerate.

"Teacher Zhou, why? What did we do wrong?" The largest of the nine teenagers stepped forward, his face full of dissatisfaction.

Zhou Yi said coldly, "You know why I did this in your own heart. Shrek doesn't need students who are opportunistic. If you have the strength but don't have a good and correct attitude, then after you are trained, you will only bring disaster and not help to any country."

These words might not mean anything to others, but to Huo Yuhao, they were particularly ridiculous. Just say that in the original drama, tens of thousands of years from now, the continent was unified by the Sun Moon Empire, but Shrek was maverick, not affiliated with the government, and had an army in its hands. It was clearly a country within a country. Of course, the government would not allow this kind of existence, but Shrek's influence was too great, and the government could only secretly take action. The final result was that some people in the government, together with other forces, launched super weapons at Shrek. If Shrek hadn't made preparations in advance, it would have been completely destroyed that time.
