Douluo: Dark-eyed White Tiger Huo Yuhao

Considering the gap in the intelligence networks of both sides, Ning Tian should have fully grasped the answer by now.

Ning Tian's smile grew even brighter.

"It's really more pleasant to talk to smart people, but unfortunately, I have to pour a basin of cold water on you."

She narrowed her eyes and said:

"There are three Soul Master-level students in our class. If you, a Level 3 Soul Instructor, are included, there are four. Excluding you, me, and Dai Huabin, there's another student named Xie Huanyue. His martial spirit is the Pipi Elephant, a very powerful defensive martial spirit."

Having said this, she paused, and then continued:

"Just as you expected, I also went to negotiate with him, but the results were also less than ideal. Unlike Dai Huabin's arrogance, he had no intention of forming an alliance with others. No matter what I said, it was useless. In the end, I had to return empty-handed. I suggest you just give up on him."

"I see. Thank you for telling me this."

Huo Yuhao took all the information Ning Tian said to heart.

If Xie Huanyue cannot be an ally, then even if the two of them are competitors, it would be a good idea to get information about the opponent in advance.

He stood up, patted his clothes, and said:

"Then, in return, I'll give you some information—the freshman assessment will most likely be conducted in teams of three. Find teammates in advance to help you get used to each other."

Ning Tian blinked in surprise.

"How did you know the news?"

Huo Yuhao closed one eye and smiled at her.

"Well, keep it secret."

Chapter 17 Persuasion

The person who could reveal the content of the freshman exam to Huo Yuhao was naturally Fan Yu, the third in command of the Soul Guidance Department.

According to him, the final reward for the freshman assessment is even a soul bone.

When Huo Yuhao heard the news, he felt completely dumbfounded.

Soul bones are priceless treasures no matter where they are. If they are put up for auction outside, they will at least fetch millions of gold soul coins. If it is a soul bone of good quality, tens of millions of gold soul coins are common. If it is a rare treasure of the level of a hundred thousand year soul bone, hundreds of millions of gold soul coins are not impossible.

Treasures of this level would have to be treated with extreme care even if placed in the Duke's Mansion. But in Shrek Academy, this thing was actually the champion reward for the freshman assessment held three months after the start of school?

Moreover, Fan Yu managed to get Huo Yuhao's third-level soul master badge in less than a day. If it were in the outside world, it would take at least a week to get it.

It is indeed rich and powerful. The rumor that Shrek Academy is rich enough to rival a country is indeed not groundless.

When saying goodbye to Ning Tian and Wu Feng, it was almost time for afternoon classes. Huo Yuhao and Zhu Yun did not make too much preparations and went straight to the classroom.

As a result, they were still some distance away from the classroom when they suddenly saw a person flying out of the classroom, and Zhou Yi's angry voice came from the classroom.

"Dai Huabin, I don't care who you are outside. As long as you are still in Shrek Academy, you are still my student. Keep your mouth shut!"

At this time, a group of students had gathered at the classroom door. Huo Yuhao picked one of them and asked:

"What's going on?"

The student saw Huo Yuhao and quickly said:

"Deputy monitor, the nine students who were expelled this morning couldn't accept the fact that they were expelled, so they all came to the monitor, hoping that the monitor would give them justice. As soon as the monitor entered the classroom, he spoke to Teacher Zhou Yi in an imperative tone, asking her to retract her decision that morning. Then the two of them started arguing, and in the end..."

Having said that, the student didn't dare to continue, but just gestured with his eyes to Dai Huabin who was lying at the door of the classroom.

Huo Yuhao suddenly realized.

"So this is what happened."

To be honest, Huo Yuhao was actually quite surprised.

What surprised him was not that Dai Huabin's plea for the students would fail. After all, with this kid's personality, he would definitely choose to clash with Zhou Yi, and it would be strange if Zhou Yi would give him a good face.

Even if this kind of thing must be done, it should be done in private. If it is done in public and without giving face to the teacher, most teachers will refuse him.

What surprised Huo Yuhao was that Dai Huabin would actually take action for these expelled students.

Based on Huo Yuhao's understanding of Dai Huabin's character, he originally expected that Dai Huabin would think that these students deserved to be expelled, and then he would make sarcastic remarks. This guy's ideas should be highly consistent with Zhou Yi's.

It seems that Huo Yuhao becoming the deputy monitor has given him a great sense of crisis.

Huo Yuhao was thinking when he felt someone pulling his sleeve.

When he turned around, he saw a freshman looking at him pleadingly.

"Um... Deputy Monitor, can you please plead for us?"

"Ah, you are."

Huo Yuhao remembered him. He was one of the nine people who were expelled that morning. His name seemed to be Yun Xiaopiao.

Yun Xiaopiao pleaded:

"Deputy monitor, we know we were wrong, please help us."

He actually didn't expect Huo Yuhao to help him solve the problem. After all, Dai Huabin, the squad leader, had failed, and Huo Yuhao, the deputy squad leader, was probably useless.

But apart from Huo Yuhao, he had no one else to ask for help. If he didn't struggle, he would really be fired.

Being expelled on the first day of school is enough to become a laughing stock, even if this is the legendary Shrek Academy.

Yun Xiaopiao shuddered just imagining his parents' reaction when he got home.

Hearing him say this, the students nearby all looked at Huo Yuhao, their eyes full of hope.

When a rabbit dies, the fox mourns; when the lips and teeth are gone, the other students will naturally not feel good either. Seeing these nine students being expelled,

Feeling the gazes of his classmates, Huo Yuhao frowned inwardly.

Sure enough, if you want to enjoy the convenience brought by the position of deputy monitor, you must also bear the obligations that a deputy monitor needs to bear.

He sighed lightly and smiled at Yun Xiaopiao:

"Okay, I'll try and do my best."

"Thank you!"

Yun Xiaopiao's eyes suddenly lit up again.

Regardless of whether Huo Yuhao can succeed or not, at least there is a glimmer of hope.

Huo Yuhao walked towards the classroom. When he passed by Dai Huabin, Dai Huabin just got up from the ground.

"What do you want to do?!"

Seeing Huo Yuhao preparing to go into the classroom, he had a bad feeling in his heart. He roared angrily and reached out to grab Huo Yuhao's shoulder.

However, Huo Yuhao had already anticipated his move. He slightly adjusted his body and dodged Dai Huabin's hand. Then, before Dai Huabin could react, he grabbed his hand and threw him over his shoulder cleanly.

Dai Huabin was completely stunned, and then he heard Huo Yuhao's voice floating over his head.

"Sorry, it was a stress reaction. Next time you want to catch me, please notify me in advance."

"you……!"

Dai Huabin felt like he was about to explode with anger, but when he looked up and met Zhou Yi's gaze, his heart went cold and the curse words that were about to come out of his mouth were held back.

Seeing Huo Yuhao approaching her, Zhou Yi asked coldly:

"Why, are you here to order me to change my teaching methods as well?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head.

"I just wanted to make a suggestion."

"Nothing to suggest, just get out."

Looking at Zhou Yi's unhappy expression, Huo Yuhao felt helpless.

Although Dai Huabin himself may not be aware of it, his actions have indeed made it more difficult for Huo Yuhao to persuade Zhou Yi.

He said seriously:

"Teacher, I also think your punishment is too harsh."

Zhou Yi said coldly:

"It's normal that you don't understand. One day you will. Monsters should be treated with monster-level standards. Only strict teachers can produce excellent students. The punishment must be increased."

"Teacher, why are you so confident?"

"Because I have a graduation rate that ranks among the top in the entire foreign affairs department."

Zhou Yi answered proudly.

"I see."

Huo Yuhao nodded, a gleam in his eyes, and asked:

"Then, teacher, I want to know a question. Are the students you expelled eligible to be included in the denominator when you calculate the graduation rate?"

Chapter 18 Monitor

Zhou Yi's expression suddenly froze.

"What do you mean?"

Huo Yuhao waved his hand and said with a smile:

"It's nothing. I'm just saying that your graduation rate can't be used as proof that your philosophy is correct. After all, as far as I know, other classes don't expel students as often as yours. If the students you personally expel aren't counted towards the overall student population, then your graduation rate wouldn't necessarily be higher than that of other teachers, right?"

Zhou Yi stared at Huo Yuhao for a moment and asked in a cold voice:

"So how do you think we should deal with them being lazy? Should we just let them go?"

"of course not."

Huo Yuhao shook his head and said seriously:

"I simply believe that rewards and punishments must be measured. Their deceitful behavior is their fault, so they deserve punishment. But the purpose of the school's punishment is to make them aware of their problems. If you expel them outright, they won't even have the possibility of reforming and starting over. I hope you can at least give them a chance to turn back."

After hearing that Huo Yuhao did not say that he would let the nine students go, Zhou Yi's expression became noticeably better.

She pondered for a moment and then asked:

"Then how do you think it's appropriate to punish them?"
