Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 32 Authority

Wang Qiu'er and Wang Dong'er were in excellent physical condition. After accelerating their sprint, they quickly overtook Huo Yuhao, who was running at the back, and caught up with Ji Lin, who was running at the front. They then followed behind Ji Lin and began to move forward at a constant speed.

Wang Dong'er originally intended to overtake Ji Lin and lead the way, but seeing Wang Qiu'er running behind Ji Lin and her gaze fixed on Ji Lin's back, she followed Wang Qiu'er. She glanced at Wang Qiu'er, then at Ji Lin's back, her face full of curiosity. Her intuition told her that these two had a story.

Feeling the gazes of the two people behind him, Ji Lin was speechless. He knew that Wang Qiu'er would definitely be eyeing him, after all, he had stolen Wang Qiu'er's power of destiny and exchanged memories, but why was Wang Dong'er getting involved?

Zhou Yi had already arrived at Shrek Square and was standing there quietly watching the students running. She first glanced at the three people running in the lead, her expression shifting slightly before returning to normal.

Time flew by, and as the number of laps increased, the runners' breathing gradually became heavier. At this point, their physical fitness and cultivation levels became apparent. Zhou Yi hadn't forbidden the use of soul power, so everyone relied on soul power to recover their stamina for the long run.

There were more than a dozen people running at the front, all quite fast, led by Ji Lin. Although Wang Qiu'er and Wang Dong'er started later, they caught up with Ji Lin in terms of laps in just half an hour and ran behind him.

Judging from the appearance of the three, they did not seem to have expended much energy, and their speed never slowed down.

Following the leading group was the main group. There were at least seventy trainees in this area, running at a steady pace without seeming too strained. At their speed, completing the one hundred laps within an hour shouldn't be a problem.

There were more than a dozen students lagging behind, including Huo Yuhao. His soul power level was the lowest in the class, and his physical fitness was also the weakest. After running more than twenty laps, his stamina began to give out.

More than half the time had passed when Zhou Yi's voice suddenly rang in the ears of every trainee, "Speed ​​up, use my position as the finish line."

Just as she was speaking, Ji Lin had already darted past her with a "whoosh," becoming the first to complete one hundred laps. Wang Qiu'er and Wang Dong'er followed closely behind, completing their own hundred laps.

After running one hundred laps at an extremely fast pace, Ji Lin's handsome face only had a slightly flushed complexion. This amount of exercise was just a warm-up for him at his current level, and he didn't even break a sweat.

Like Ji Lin, Wang Qiu'er wasn't too tired, but Wang Dong'er had a rosy complexion and was a little out of breath, indicating that she was still a step behind the other two in terms of physical fitness.

Seeing the relaxed expressions of the two people in front of her, Wang Dong'er bit her red lips, her face showing some resentment.

Wang Qiu'er was one thing, after all, she had defeated her, but she didn't expect that even Ji Lin was stronger than her. The strong-willed Wang Dong'er was a little provoked.

After Wang Dong'er, other students gradually began to complete 100 laps. At this time, there were still 15 minutes left in the hour.

Ji Lin then turned his gaze to Huo Yuhao.

Although he wasn't running very fast and his clothes were soaked with sweat, he was still gritting his teeth and persevering. At his current speed, he should have no problem completing 100 laps within the allotted time.

Zhou Yi stood there quietly, paying no attention to the students who had already finished running laps, but instead focusing her gaze on those who had not yet finished.

Among these students, Huo Yuhao looked the most exhausted; his school uniform, soaked with sweat, was unmistakable! But he gritted his teeth and persevered.

Soon, all the trainees, including Huo Yuhao, had completed one hundred laps within the allotted time and stood relaxed in Shrek Square.

Zhou Yi turned to the students with a blank expression and said calmly, "Those whose names I call, please step forward: Cheng Cheng, Qiu Jianrao, Tang Dao, Shangguan Chentian, Lin Zeyu, Zhuge Yun, Tai Long, Tang Ling, and Yun Xiaopiao."

She called out the names of nine people in total. The trainees were clearly surprised that Zhou Yi could call out the names of all nine of them so easily, even though they hadn't introduced themselves.

The students who were called out walked out leisurely. Zhou Yi said calmly, "The nine of you can go back and pack your bags and leave the academy. From this moment on, you are no longer students of Shrek Academy."

"Huh?" The nine students who had just finished running and were still exhausted were taken aback, while the other students were in an uproar.

"Teacher, why?" A tall boy named Tailong stepped forward with an angry expression. He was in the first group of students who had just finished running laps, one of the first to finish.

Zhou Yi coldly said, "Shrek Academy doesn't need opportunistic students. Those with talent but lacking a good and upright mindset will only bring disaster, not help, to any country once they're trained. Tailong, tell me yourself, did you run a hundred laps just now?"

Tailong retorted, "Of course we've run enough."

Zhou Yi laughed. "Have you run enough? If I remember correctly, when we first started running, before I even arrived at Shrek Square, you leisurely walked two laps, only starting to catch up when the leaders were on their fifth lap. So, you didn't run a hundred laps, but ninety-seven. I'm sure more than one person noticed your initial laziness."

"I..." Tailong's face flushed red instantly. He never expected that Zhou Yi, who hadn't even come to the playground initially, would accuse him of cheating as if she had witnessed it herself. "But even if I ran a few fewer laps, you can't expel me for that!" Zhou Yi snorted disdainfully. "I already gave you the reason: you don't deserve to be called a student of Shrek Academy. Pack your things and get out."

"You..." Tai Long was completely dumbfounded. In fact, with his strength, running a hundred laps was no problem at all; in fact, his cultivation was among the best of all the first-year students in Class One. He never expected to be eliminated like this. Zhou Yi looked at the other students and said calmly, "Although I have a bad temper, I always keep my word. These nine people I pointed out all cheated during the run and didn't complete a hundred laps. If you're not satisfied, you can go to the administration office to complain, but now, you can leave."

Under Zhou Yi's overwhelming pressure, the nine students who had been singled out slunk away. Of course, they didn't go to pack their bags; instead, they headed straight to the academic affairs office to complain. And this was only the first day of school! How could they possibly accept this?

Ji Lin looked at the backs of the nine students and shook his head. They were all elites among their peers, yet they were expelled for such a trivial matter.

Although he felt that Zhou Yi was making a mountain out of a molehill, those students had nothing to do with him, and he didn't want to meddle. As he said before, if Shrek Academy didn't care, why should he worry about it?

The remaining students' expressions had completely changed, and they didn't dare to breathe loudly in front of Zhou Yi. In just one hour, Zhou Yi had established absolute authority in Class 1 of this grade.

"Go back to your dorms and change your clothes, then come to the classroom for class. I'll give you fifteen minutes." After saying that, Zhou Yi turned around and went straight back to the teaching building.

This time, no one dared to delay even a moment. They scattered in a rush, almost all sprinting towards their dormitories.
