Douluo Continent: The Incarnation of a Divine Beast, Sister Huo Yutong!

Chapter 120 Shock
After an hour, all the trainees had finished running. They didn't care about their appearance anymore and lay on the ground, panting heavily like fish out of water.

In the center of the group of students, a verdant bamboo stalk was constantly emitting a faint light, healing their bodies and preventing hidden injuries.

The owner of this bamboo was one of the two middle-aged men whom Zhou Yi had invited in advance. He was a level 67 Soul Emperor with the Martial Soul Green Bamboo.

Although its healing ability is certainly not as good as that of Elder Zhuang in the Sea God Pavilion, it is more than enough to heal these Great Soul Masters or Soul Venerables.

Looking at the students who were exhausted to the point of collapse, Zhou Yi smirked and said coldly:

"Students, are you tired from running?"

"Tired~"

Although she was weak and listless, Zhou Yi had left a deep impression on everyone, so even though she was so tired that she could hardly get up, she still answered loudly.

"Great, I'm satisfied to see everyone so tired..."

...

Upon hearing this, many trainees' lips twitched, and they began to curse inwardly.

Zhou Yi seemed unconcerned and continued:

"I'm happy that most people completed the number of laps the teacher assigned..."

"However, a few people just had to be clever and deliberately skip a lap or two..."

As soon as he finished speaking, several trainees looked tense.

Upon hearing that some runners had missed a portion of the race, the runners who had completed the entire course immediately showed indignation on their faces.

They ran the whole course with all their might, but some people slacked off and ran less?

This is not fair!

Seeing everyone's reaction, Zhou Yi smiled slightly and said:
"Zhou Tai, Liu Qi..."

Zhou Yi called out the names of seven people in a row, both men and women. All the students who were called out turned pale and trembled all over.

"Those whose names I've called, stand up now!"

As Zhou Yi finished speaking, the seven people swayed to their feet, their faces filled with terror.

Zhou Yi asked the boy at the front:
"Your name is Zhou Tai, right?"

"Tell me, why did you slack off and skip a few laps?"

Zhou Tai trembled violently, large beads of sweat appearing on his bronze skin.

He glanced at Zhou Yi, whose face was cold and indifferent, then at the students glaring angrily. Finally, unable to bear the psychological pressure any longer, he slid to his knees and shouted loudly:
"Teacher Zhou, I was wrong..."

"I was just feeling really tired, and I figured you wouldn't even notice if I skipped a lap..."

"Please, please give me another chance..."

Zhou Yi paused for a moment, then looked at the other six people.

The six men followed suit and began to repent for their mistakes.

Zhou Yi nodded in satisfaction and continued:

"Run one less lap, now double the time..."

"Go, get on the track now and make up for the missing laps!"

The seven men were exhausted, but they still dragged their weary bodies and started running again.

Ten minutes later, the seven people finished the race and stood in front of Zhou Yi with tense expressions.

"Zhou Tai, Li Yang, and Xu Cheng stay behind; the rest of you return to your posts..."

The three men whose names were called froze, and Zhou Tai, the leader, asked with a puzzled look:

"Teacher Zhou, we...we've finished the race!"

Zhou Yi narrowed her eyes slightly, and a faint red glow appeared in her pupils.

She walked up to Zhou Tai and said:
"I said, fewer laps will double..."

"You ran three laps short, so you should be running six laps now, but you've only run two..."

"Now, you can go back to your dorm, pack your things, and leave the college!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Tai's expression changed drastically, and he shouted loudly:
"No, you...you can't fire me!"

Zhou Yi smiled slightly, and her faint dragon might instantly suppressed Zhou Tai.

"Say it again, and I'll send you out right now!" Zhou Tai was instantly speechless, and could only lower his head helplessly, walking towards the dormitory area like a walking corpse.

Zhou Yi then looked at the other two people.

"What, do I have to treat you again?"

The other two, knowing they were in the wrong, could only slink away.

Zhou Yi's methods of expelling three people in just one test sent a chill down the spines of all the trainees.

However, upon closer reflection, it becomes clear that the three people dismissed by Zhou Yi all deserved their fate.

Even though Zhou Yi had already given them a chance, they still clung to wishful thinking.

Being fired seems to be entirely reasonable?

In short, the trainees were very afraid of Zhou Yi, but not that afraid.

After the run, Zhou Yi dismissed everyone.

Most people walked towards the dormitory, exhausted, but the little girl and Xiao Xiao walked towards Huo Yuhao.

Upon seeing Huo Yuhao, Xiao Xiao blushed instinctively, her white silk-clad feet seemingly still warm from Huo Yuhao's hand.

"Hehe, big brother looks really impressive today..."

The little girl sidled up to Huo Yuhao and said with a grin.

Huo Yuhao pinched her cheek playfully and said with a smile:

"Are you excited?"

"How about I talk to Zhou Yi and ask her to give you the class monitor position?"

The little girl made a face at Huo Yuhao and said disdainfully:

"I don't want to..."

"That old woman isn't as simple as she seems. I don't want to get involved with her at all!"

Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that this girl had a pretty keen sense of things.

Just then, Xiao Xiao finally composed herself, suppressed the blush on her face, walked to Huo Yuhao's side, and whispered:

"Yuhao, thank you so much for today..."

Huo Yuhao casually patted Xiao Xiao's head and said:
"No need to thank me for something so small..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao's emotions, which she had already been suppressing, surged up again.

Seeing Huo Yuhao so comfortable with two women on either side, Wang Dong'er, who had been ignored, pouted and said:
"Yuhao, it's still early, shall we go out for a walk?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao first checked the time before saying:

"It's almost noon, let's not go out..."

"Poseidon Lake is quite nice, shall we go there to rest?"

Huo Yuhao looked at the three women, and they all nodded in unison.

So the three of them headed toward the Sea God Lake.

Poseidon Lake is a famous attraction at Shrek Academy, where couples often stroll hand in hand, causing a mental attack on single people passing by.

Besides its beautiful scenery, Poseidon Lake is also the venue for Shrek Academy's famous event, "Poseidon's Fate".

That's right, it's the same cosplayer who dressed up as Poseidon from If You Are the One and The Masked Singer.

Perhaps because it was still during class time, only Huo Yuhao and his three companions were around the vast Poseidon Lake.

Seeing that no one was around, Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up.

He arrived at the shore of Poseidon Lake, found a large rock near the water, sat down, took off his shoes, and plunged his feet into the icy lake water.

"Hiss...that feels good..."

Huo Yuhao let out a comfortable groan, then waved to the three people who were still stunned.

"Quick, let's enjoy ourselves while no one's around..."

The three looked at Huo Yuhao, then at the pure blue surface of the Sea God Lake, and finally hesitated.
