Douluo Continent: I, an evil soul master, work nine-to-five in the Tang Sect.

Chapter 36 The Tragic Fellowship Class One

Just as the class monitor position was officially confirmed, Mu Jin led the students of Class 9, a group of new students, out of the Soul Arena and prepared to return to their classrooms. However, the commotion coming from the playground attracted everyone's attention.

On this vast playground, hundreds of students were running, sweating profusely. All of them were wearing white school uniforms, representing first-year students.

What's most eye-catching is the iron suit worn by each trainee, which is almost as thick as a finger and weighs at least thirty pounds!

It was precisely because of wearing this heavy iron armor that the students, whose cultivation level was at least one ring soul master, were running in such a sorry state. Sweat soaked almost all of their clothes, and they were gritting their teeth and mustering all their strength with every step they took!

This scene also shocked all the students in Class 9 of the freshmen who were watching from the sidelines, and many of them exclaimed in amazement at this moment.

Keep in mind that only half an hour has passed since the start of classes for new students. Who starts physical training right after the start of the semester, especially running laps in such a bulky iron suit!

"My God, have these people offended their teacher? Otherwise, why would they be running here wearing such heavy iron suits? And judging from the looks of it, they're not allowed to stop. This isn't training; it's clearly punishment!"

One of the female students couldn't bear to watch any longer and spoke her mind.

However, several male trainees who were aware of the situation were not surprised by what they saw and explained to him:

"You're wrong. This isn't punishment; it's just routine training. See that old woman standing over there? She's known as the harshest teacher in our outer academy, bar none!"

"Indeed, that teacher's name is Zhou Yi. I think she's the class teacher for the first freshman class now. When I first came to the academy to register, I heard about her reputation from the senior students. I heard that the percentage of students taught by her who enter the inner academy is extremely high, close to a quarter!"

"A quarter?!"

Upon hearing this, the female student's eyes widened in surprise, and she asked incredulously.

If it were just the percentage of students advancing to higher grades, that would be one thing, but this is the percentage of outer court students advancing to inner court!

Almost everyone among the new students present knew how difficult the inner academy's assessment standards were; they could be described as monstrous. Those who could pass the inner academy's assessment were all monsters!

However, faced with the female student's shock, the male student smiled and shook his head, then explained:

"Don't be fooled by the high percentage of students who get into the inner academy under that teacher's supervision. The dropout rate is also extremely high. It's said that last year she was originally teaching third-year students, but because her teaching methods were too strict, the college entrance rate was only one in ten, which is why she was demoted to the lower grades."

"Besides, those dozens of eliminated students weren't eliminated for their own fault. Most of the students who made it to the third year could easily pass the fourth-year assessment. They were simply expelled by that monster teacher!"

"Seriously? That strict?!"

Upon hearing these words, the female student, who had been marveling at the high probability of being admitted to the inner academy, instantly changed her expression to surprise.

It's true that teachers have the power to expel students. Their freshman class 9's homeroom teacher, Mu Jin, said this at the beginning of the semester. But she never expected that a teacher would "abuse his power" like this!

At this moment, the students of Class 9, who were initially impressed by the rigorous training of the group running on the playground in their iron suits, suddenly realized that Zhou Yi was the class teacher of the students in front of them.

Clearly, most of the students present had heard of Zhou Yi. There weren't many monster students in the entire outer academy, but there were quite a few monster teachers. Among these teachers, Zhou Yi was obviously the most "famous"!

As everyone stopped to watch the group of students running on the training ground in their iron uniforms, Tai'an, who was standing next to Luo Chen, suddenly turned to him and said:

"Chenzi, I think I saw Yuhao! Goodness, that guy's perseverance is truly amazing. With only level 15 cultivation, he's managed to get to the front of the group. He's just as monstrous as you!"

However, upon hearing these words, Luo Chen couldn't help but laugh, and then explained:

"You're wrong. I'm just a little more talented, but when it comes to perseverance, I'm no match for him. That guy is the real monster!"

Tai'an was able to see Huo Yuhao's figure, and Luo Chen naturally noticed it as well. If Huo Yuhao's original soul power cultivation was only level eleven, he would probably have fallen to the very end of the group by now.

However, now that Huo Yuhao has learned several Tang Sect techniques under Luo Chen's tutelage and has significantly improved his soul power and physical fitness, he is now more than capable of handling Zhou Yi's rigorous training methods.

After all, Luo Chen and Huo Yuhao's previous training methods were several times more arduous than this. Fighting against soul beasts in the Soul Beast Forest at night was a real life-or-death struggle!

Right now, it's just running laps under a not-too-hot sun while wearing an iron suit. Even if you run all day, what does that matter?

However, just as Luo Chen was talking with Tai An, the expression on Mu Jin's face caught Luo Chen's attention. He noticed that Mu Jin's eyes were full of hostility when she looked at Zhou Yi, which reminded Luo Chen of some things.

He had heard back when he first enrolled that his current homeroom teacher, Mu Jin, had a fairly normal relationship with Zhou Yi, and there was no conflict between them.

However, because of Mu Jin's younger brother, he was assigned to Zhou Yi's class. Due to various reasons, he became dissatisfied, and no matter how much Mu Jin pleaded, Zhou Yi still chose to expel him from the class.

This is the reason why the two sides are so hostile now. Of course, there seem to be some more hidden factors that Luo Chen is unaware of, but these are not things that Luo Chen should worry about.

Since he is now just an ordinary student in Class 9 of the freshmen, he should naturally do the corresponding things.

At this moment, after staring at Zhou Yi, who was urging the students on the playground, for a while, Mu Jin said in a low voice with an icy expression:

"Zhou Yi... just you wait and see, this time I'll make you pay the price!"
