Douluo Continent: The Ruler of Time, Reigning Supreme

Chapter 83 Wang Dong's Regret

"In terms of strength, who in the class can rival the three of us? I think we should just have Yin Chen and Gu Yuena as class monitor and vice class monitor. They were originally the class monitor and vice class monitor of our class six, and everyone is convinced of that."

Ye Guyi's words carried the pride unique to holders of the Holy Angel Martial Soul. In her view, this was not arrogance, but rather a statement of an obvious fact.

Of the entire class, she only genuinely acknowledged the strength and abilities of Yin Chen and Gu Yuena.

"This……"

Wang Yan was slightly taken aback, not expecting Ye Guyi to be so direct, which was somewhat different from the democratic process he had envisioned, and he was in a dilemma for a moment.

"Why should I? Just because I'm strong doesn't mean I'm superior."

As expected, Ye Guyi's seemingly arrogant attitude immediately provoked a backlash.

Wang Dong was already holding back his anger because he had been suppressed by Ye Guyi during the match. Now, like a firecracker that had been lit, he suddenly stood up and retorted.

“Yuhao is still our original class monitor. I think voting is a good thing, fair and just.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Guyi's lips curled into a cold smile, and she responded without any politeness:
"Being strong is all that matters. You disagree? We can go to the arena right now and have another match. As for Huo Yuhao..."

Her gaze swept over Huo Yuhao, whose expression seemed somewhat unnatural.

"If he's made class monitor, who in the class do you think would be convinced?"

Her words were blunt and sharp, piercing the most basic law of the Soul Master world—survival of the fittest.

In her view, the position of class monitor should be given to the most capable person, as this is the greatest responsibility to the class.

Wang Yan's idea of ​​voting stemmed more from his gentle personality and teaching philosophy.

"Let's compete then. Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

Wang Dong was proud and arrogant, and he couldn't stand such provocation, so he immediately accepted the challenge.

"I think Ye Guyi is right. The strong are respected. I support Yin Chen and Gu Yuena."

At this moment, Wu Feng, who had fiery red hair, spoke up to support Ye Guyi, while his gaze toward Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao was clearly hostile.

"If they are the class monitors, I have no objection."

On the other side, Dai Huabin also spoke coldly. Although he had been defeated by Yin Chen, he disdained associating with those who were not strong enough.

"Yes, Teacher Wang Yan, let's choose Yin Chen and Gu Yuena. Voting is too much trouble."

We all agree.

The other students in the class echoed this sentiment.

In terms of soul power level, combat performance, and talent potential, Yin Chen and Gu Yuena are far ahead in Class 1, making them the popular choice to serve as class monitors.

Seeing the situation turn out to be one-sided, Wang Dong's face turned red. He wanted to argue, but Huo Yuhao next to him gently tugged at his sleeve.

Huo Yuhao shook his head at him, his eyes filled with complex emotions, a hint of helplessness and admonition.

Wang Dong then sat down indignantly, silencing his protests.

Seeing Wang Dong's defeat, Ye Guyi's face showed a hint of pride, like a little peacock that had won a battle.

Yin Chen, who had been observing the situation calmly, couldn't help but shake his head slightly upon seeing this, secretly finding it amusing.

Ultimately, she still has the heart of a young girl, and is competitive.

In fact, even if a vote were held, given the strength and prestige he and Gu Yuena had demonstrated, the outcome would not change.

Ye Guyi's actions, while supportive, seemed a bit too hasty. Seeing that the vast majority of the class supported Yin Chen and Gu Yuena, Wang Yan knew his voting plan was unnecessary, so he readily agreed and announced loudly:

"Since everyone agrees, then Yin Chen and Gu Yuena will serve as the class monitor and vice class monitor of our freshman class. I hope that the two class monitors will live up to expectations and lead our class to make progress together."

The decision was met with enthusiastic applause in the classroom.

"Damn it, if I had trained seriously before, my strength would be no weaker than hers now. How could I let her be so arrogant?"

Wang Dong was so angry that his teeth itched, and for the first time, a strong sense of regret welled up in his heart.

He possessed the Three Lives Martial Soul and had unparalleled talent. He believed that if they were of the same level, he would be no weaker than anyone else. However, he was now being completely suppressed by Ye Guyi, and this sense of humiliation was hard for him to let go of.

Time slips away quietly in the classroom.

Wang Yan truly lives up to his title as a senior teacher. He possesses profound theoretical knowledge, insightful and unique perspectives on various martial spirits, and is able to pinpoint the subtle problems in each student's cultivation.

After just one lesson, most students felt they had gained a lot and developed a strong sense of identification with their gentle and wise new homeroom teacher.

When the bell rang, Yin Chen stood up with a smile and said loudly:
"To celebrate everyone's successful passing of the freshman assessment and our gathering in Class 1, I'm treating everyone to lunch today at the cafeteria."

Upon hearing this, a cheer erupted in the classroom.

Shouts of "Long live the squad leader!" echoed throughout the room.

Zhou Sichen, Cao Jinxuan, and several other lively core disciples immediately gathered around Yin Chen, calling him "Boss" affectionately.

Even the usually aloof Dai Huabin, after a slight hesitation, silently followed the group, which was considered giving Yin Chen face.

Huo Yuhao originally didn't want to go; he wanted to seize the time to go back and cultivate, to make up for the gap in his soul power.

But Wang Dong dragged him there by force, saying, "Why not eat it if it's free and save some money?"

Seeing this, Yin Chen simply nodded gently to Huo Yuhao in welcome.

This is the persona he established for himself at Shrek Academy—sunny, cheerful, generous, and possessing strong leadership and personal charisma.

He wanted to start from the Foreign Languages ​​Department, subtly building connections and solidifying his foundation to pave the way for his future goals.

As for his true nature and hidden ambition beneath his gentle exterior, well, only he himself knows.

It's worth mentioning that Zhu Lu, being an agility-based attacker, should have been placed in Class 2, but she was specially assigned to Class 1.

This was naturally a special arrangement by the academy, since she could only unleash the true power of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill "Netherworld White Tiger" when she was with Dai Huabin.

From this perspective, while dividing students into classes according to departments, the college also retains a human touch.

And so, the dozens of freshmen set off in a grand procession toward the cafeteria, attracting many surprised and curious glances along the way.

Not far away, two figures wearing red school uniforms, symbolizing their status as inner court disciples, were also drawn to the large group and stopped in their tracks.

"What are these freshmen doing? They're acting so aggressively."

One of them, a cool and aloof girl with snow-white hair, ice-blue eyes, and a peculiar cat-ear headdress, looked at the crowd with a hint of curiosity.

"Judging from the direction, they should be heading to the cafeteria."

Another girl with black hair and black eyes, an ordinary appearance, and a weak presence answered calmly.

"Judging from their appearance, anyone who didn't know better would think they were going to fight."

The white-haired girl has a cold appearance, but is surprisingly good at making sarcastic remarks.
