At this moment, she was somewhat convinced. She had thought that she had lost to Xu Yanli, but that was just because she was too careless. She thought that Xu Yanli's martial soul was definitely not at the Soul King level, but was just a disguise.

I never expected that all of this was really true. This guy's strength is unfathomable. Did I offend him before?

Zhou Yi quickly regained her balance, her face now as sour as a stone.

"Good, good, good!" Zhou Yi said three times in a row. "Xu Yanli, you have no respect for your elders, you talk back to your teacher and attack your teachers. As the homeroom teacher, I am expelling you."

"Fire me? Are you sure?" Xu Yanli finally stood up, brushing the dust off his clothes and straightening his collar with elegant movements, as if he were taking a stroll in his own backyard.

Xu Yanli took two or three steps forward.

Zhou Yi suddenly felt a little scared. Even though the person in front of her was just a twelve-year-old student, he gave her a strong sense of pressure.

"First, is answering a question considered arguing? You asked everyone, 'Those who have been in a fight, stand up,' and I complied. Is that considered disrespectful to elders?"

"Secondly, you first unleashed your pressure on me, and I merely defended myself. Is that considered attacking a division commander?"

“Third,” Xu Yanli smiled, a smile that seemed gentle and harmless, yet sent a chill down Zhou Yi’s spine, “If you want to expel me, you have to ask the academy for its consent first. I am a Soul King who broke through to level 50 at the age of twelve, and the owner of an ultimate light attribute martial soul. Are you sure the academy will expel me based on your word alone?”

Xu Yanli knew that his talent was a double-edged sword, but also a very useful knife.

Given his talent, Shrek Academy would try its best to recruit him rather than try to assassinate him, since Shrek Academy is currently facing a talent shortage.

As for his affiliation with the Free and Unfettered Pavilion, that's nothing special to Shrek Academy. In Shrek Academy's eyes, it's just a newly emerging force. If they recruited him, they might even be able to swallow up the Free and Unfettered Pavilion.

However, Xu Yanli's goal this time was not to ruin Zhou Yi's life or to change the homeroom teacher. He didn't want to run there under the scorching sun, and he didn't need to.

Zhou Yi's face turned even paler. Although she also thought of the day of registration, there seemed to be a special document, which belonged to this Xu Yanli.

Chapter 22 We are not reconciled

At the time, Zhou Yi didn't look at it carefully, thinking that the people who recorded it on the Martial Soul system were exaggerating. After all, how could someone reach the Soul King level at the age of 12?

However, judging from the current situation, the students recruited by the Foreign Languages ​​Institute not only did not exaggerate, but may have even underestimated the potential.

Xu Yanli is definitely not just level 50. He is very likely a high-level Soul King. He just said that he has the ultimate attribute, which means that his Soul King soul power may be able to unleash the combat power of a Soul Saint.

Zhou Yi's face alternated between light and dark, and her imposing aura quickly weakened.

"You, you, you sit down first." Zhou Yi swallowed hard, forcing herself to maintain the composure of a teacher, and said, "We'll talk about this later, let's start class."

"Class? Aren't we supposed to be running?" Xu Yanli didn't sit down as he told her, but instead took two more steps toward the podium.

Xu Yanli walked to the front of the podium, tapped on the podium in front of Zhou Yi, and said with a smile, "Teacher Zhou, it seems you haven't answered my question yet. A teacher's duty is to impart knowledge, teach skills, and resolve doubts. Please enlighten me, Teacher Zhou."

Seeing that Zhou Yi did not react, Xu Yanli turned to the other students in the class and said with a smile, "Classmates, are you satisfied? He came up to you first and scolded you, and then did nothing but be punished by running a hundred laps."

Xu Yanli paused, glanced at the expressions of the other students in the class, and then continued, "We run 100 laps today, but what about tomorrow? What about the day after? What if Ms. Zhou is in a bad mood one day? Can't she just find any excuse to punish us? It's one thing to punish us, but what if we accidentally offend her and get expelled?"

"Not reconciled!"

I don't know who shouted it first, but soon more and more people echoed it.

Xu Yanli looked at Wang Dong with some surprise, clearly it was Wang Dong who shouted the first word.

"Yes, why should we!"

"She can't fire us without cause!"

"This teacher is unreasonable."

The commotion in the classroom grew louder and louder, and Zhou Yi, standing behind the podium, naturally looked increasingly grim.

Zhou Yi had never encountered such a situation in all her years of teaching at Shrek Academy.

The students left and the matter was settled, but thanks to her husband Fan Yu, the rarest Soul Master genius in Shrek Academy, Zhou Yi was kept in check, which prevented any trouble from happening.

Previously, under her strong pressure, almost every student was obedient. Unexpectedly, this time, a few words from one student stirred up the whole class to rebel against her.

"Shut up, all of you!" Zhou Yi slammed her hand on the podium, which shattered instantly, indicating her extreme anger. "Are you trying to rebel?!"

"Rebellion?" Xu Yanli chuckled. "What, Teacher Zhou? Are you emperors? That's a bit of a serious statement. Besides, all we want is fair treatment."

"If you could answer the question I just asked, we'd go for a run right away without hesitation. But if you can't answer it..." Xu Yanli pointed out the window, a smile seemingly in his eyes.

"You! What do you think you can do? You're just a student, with no talent..." Zhou Yi said coldly.

Xu Yanli chuckled, his eyes filled with coldness, and said, "What you said is true. I am just a student, but we can go to the dean of Shrek Academy and have him judge properly. After all, I am a 12-year-old level 50 Soul King."

"You!" Zhou Yi was trembling with anger, yet she felt helpless.

Zhou Yi knew very well that if this matter escalated, it would do her no good.

Moreover, Xu Yanli is right. With his talent, even if he offends Fan Yu, Shrek Academy would not expel such a genius for Zhou Yi's sake.

Moreover, if this matter escalates, she herself is very likely to be held accountable and dismissed; to be precise, she doesn't dare to do it again.

She just couldn't bring herself to admit defeat in front of the whole class.

The classroom door was pushed open the next moment.

A middle-aged man dressed in a pure white long gown walked in.

Xu Yanli glanced at Yan Shaozhe and had to admit that Yan Shaozhe looked quite similar to Ye Xishui, though he wasn't as pretty as Ye Xishui.

"What's all the noise about? What's going on?" Yan Shaozhe scanned the whole class, then his gaze settled on Xu Yanli and Zhou Yi. "I could hear your class making a racket from far away. You're the noisiest people in the whole teaching building. What's going on?"

Zhou Yi felt as if she had seen a savior and quickly stepped forward, saying, "Dean, you've come at the right time! This student, Xu Yanli, has no respect for his elders and incites his classmates to confront the teachers. I request that the school deal with this matter seriously!"

Yan Shaozhe turned his gaze to Xu Yanli, his eyes seemingly carrying a somewhat ambiguous meaning.

Yan Shaozhe ignored Zhou Yi, but glanced at Xu Yanli a few times before asking softly, "Xu Yanli, is that what happened?"

Xu Yanli's eyes were dark and unreadable. Then he quickly and respectfully gave a half-bow and said, "Greetings, Dean. I just asked Professor Zhou a few questions and wanted to ask for justice for my classmates. Well, it's not really about asking for justice, but just raising some unreasonable things and asking a few more questions."

The other students, who were clearly reasonable, recounted what had just happened, without embellishing anything, but simply stating the facts selectively.

After listening, Yan Shaozhe looked at Zhou Yi with more dissatisfaction and scrutiny.

Zhou Yi opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but found that she didn't seem to have anything to refute. After all, what the other classmates said was true, and she had also said those things.

"Dean, this is just one of my teaching plans; I did it to cultivate their discipline..."

"I think you're trying to kill the students' fighting spirit. And the point they just asked is very valid: why can the students you expelled become geniuses elsewhere?" Yan Shaozhe said with dissatisfaction.

From the beginning, Yan Shaozhe didn't like Zhou Yi very much, after all, her husband was the vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department, which didn't have much to do with his Martial Soul Department.

Unfortunately, Yan Shaozhe never really liked soul tools, mainly because he disliked offensive soul tools.

However, he was very interested in the soul tools in Xu Yanli's Xiaoyao Pavilion, since those things did make their lives much more convenient.

“Teacher Zhou Yi, I know you may mean well by wanting to be strict with your students, but education isn’t done this way,” Yan Shaozhe said, directly refuting Zhou Yi’s suggestion.

However, it wasn't said to be so absolute, after all, one still has to give others some face.

Yan Shaozhe turned to the other students in the class.

Chapter 23 The Show He Couldn't Have Been Waiting For

"That's enough for today. You don't need to run anymore. Go back to class. I'll have another teacher come and cover for you later. Ms. Zhou Yi, come with me for a moment," Yan Shaozhe said.

As they reached the door, Yan Shaozhe suddenly said, "Xu Yanli, I have a small favor to ask you after class. Please come to my office when you are free."

After Yan Shaozhe finished speaking, he turned around and left, ignoring Zhou Yi behind him.

As for Zhou Yi, she was pale as she followed Yan Shaozhe out of the classroom.

The classroom fell silent after Yan Shaozhe's arrival, but burst into cheers once they were sure he had left.

"Xu Yanli! Xu Yanli!"

The students excitedly gathered around, chattering away as if thanking him, or perhaps expressing admiration for their ability to defeat the teacher and defy authority.

"Brother Yan Li, you're amazing! You even dared to confront that infamous old witch from the outer courtyard surnamed Zhou!"

"Yes, thanks to you, otherwise we would have really had to run those 100 laps today, and we would have been exhausted after that."

"Brother Yanli, you're our leader from now on! If you tell us to go east, we'll never go west."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Xu Yanli smiled and returned to her seat, followed closely by the other students.

"Alright, alright, go back and get ready. The teacher has only left temporarily. We should have a new teacher coming to teach us later." Xu Yanli crossed his legs and waved his hand.

The other students returned to their seats, laughing and joking, but the way they looked at Xu Yanli had changed.

"Hello, classmate, my name is Xiao Xiao," a petite-looking girl said with a smile next to Xu Yanli.

Xu Yanli turned his head and looked over, nodded to her, but did not say anything.

Xu Yanli twirled his pen idly, waiting for the next teacher to arrive.

However, before he could even begin to feign profundity, Tang Ling interrupted him just two minutes later.

Tang Ling quietly sidled up and whispered, "Brother, you were so cool just now. But you've offended a teacher at Shrek Academy. Will he make things difficult for you later?"

Xu Yanli chuckled, a meaningful look flashing in his eyes: "He'll only give me a hard time if he has another chance to do so later."

Tang Ling paused for a moment, then scratched his head, seemingly not quite understanding what he meant, but he didn't ask any further questions.

Meanwhile, in Yan Shaozhe's office...

“Zhou Yi, every time you arbitrarily expel a student, you use your husband to cover it up. Shrek Academy has also helped you cover these things up time and time again, but this time you’ve gone too far,” Yan Shaozhe snorted and said.

With a stubborn look and a hint of resentment in her eyes, Zhou Yi said, "So what? He's just a little more talented, isn't he? Dean, keeping such a troublesome student around will only cause trouble sooner or later! Maybe he didn't really join Shrek Academy at all, maybe he's a spy for the Sun Moon Empire."

It has to be said that Zhou Yi realized the truth at this moment, but how could anyone else possibly believe it?

Shrek Academy desperately needs a genius who can hold the fort at this time.

"Hmph, so what if you can't beat them or argue with them, so you resort to slander? What kind of good person would send a 12-year-old level 50 Soul King to be an undercover agent?" Yan Shaozhe sneered coldly. "Especially in that godforsaken place like the Sun Moon Empire, they should have been worshipping this talent long ago."

Yan Shaozhe's eyes flashed with disappointment, and he felt that Zhou Yi was incredibly stupid.

However, another possibility is that it was due to Mu En and Xuan Zi's guarantee, since it was said that their mother had a relationship with that person from the Star Luo Empire.

Of course, there was another reason why he always defended Xu Yanli: Elder Mu said that the flame in Xu Yanli's martial soul was infinitely close to the ultimate fire.

This thing was unimportant to him, but it was extremely important to his apprentice, Ma Xiaotao.

Xu Yanli probably didn't expect that the elders from Shrek Academy would erase the best answer right away.

Of course, he never imagined that his mother would become so famous back then, since he had never met her.
