"I have my own rhythm, don't worry, Zhou Yi, this black sheep, will eventually be brought to justice!" Yan Shaozhe said with a righteous face.
"Of course, I'm not that idle, but if she provokes me first."
Su Wen grinned.
"Hmm."
Yan Shaozhe nodded absentmindedly.
With you, this troublemaker, which teacher in the outer academy would dare to mess with you? Zhou Yi still has some brains.
He's currently focused on taking on disciples.
In the two matches in the afternoon, basically, the moment the opposing team learned that their opponent was Su Wen's team, their faces turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and then they helplessly raised their hands to surrender.
Knowing they were no match but still going for it was a blow to the morale of the entire team, especially for a monster like Su Wen.
Five assessments were arranged for the second day, and the round-robin tournament ended in just three days.
Nearly half of the students were eliminated from the academy.
The rigorous, almost cruel, assessment left many of the remaining students feeling fortunate, but only resentful, not angry—after all, with their talent, they still had many academies to choose from.
In fact, every year around this time, countless teachers from various academies would loiter around Shrek City, trying to scavenge some of the eliminated students.
A level 15 before the age of twelve might be considered mediocre talent in the monster-filled Shrek Academy, but among the countless higher academies across the continent, it could be considered "genius."
After all, with that kind of talent, if things went smoothly, there was a high probability of breaking through to Soul King, or even Soul Emperor, making them a pillar of a medium-sized sect or higher academy.
However, those eliminated by Zhou Yi without her consent generally carried a "black mark."
The nature of the two was vastly different.
The former was a matter of "character," while the latter was a lack of strength.
Therefore, apart from individuals like Dai Huabin in the original work who could ignore expulsion and continue studying at Shrek Academy, other students with weaker backgrounds would carry this stain on their reputation for life and suffer considerable consequences.
Furthermore, her unpredictable temper and frequent physical punishment of students.were the reasons why countless students she expelled resented her.
As a large number of students left,the freshman dormitories became increasingly empty.
Meanwhile, Xiao Xiao's team gradually revealed its strength, winning eight consecutive matches.
Chen Yanjin's strength was not weak; the team of two Great Soul Masters, plus the increasingly effective Huo Yuhao, were also beginning to shine, making Zhou Yi overjoyed.
However, her expression towards Xiao Xiao was cold, carrying a hint of disappointment.
Of course, Huo Yuhao's status as the chosen one also showed some advantages.
For example, in several matches, he won by gambling with a strong element of luck.
He also gained Wang Yan's favor, which was reported to the academy.
Even Yan Shaozhe came to ask his opinion on Huo Yuhao.
Su Wen only replied with a few words: "So-so," and Yan Shaozhe ignored him.
Dean Yan, however, kept a close eye on Xiao Xiao, but for some reason, he hadn't made a move.
When asked, he only said he was waiting for the right opportunity.
Three more days passed in the blink of an eye.
The round-robin tournament concluded, and the results were announced.
Su Wen's team unsurprisingly came in first, Dai Huabin's team second, and Xie Huanyue's team third, all having never faced each other before, resulting in a perfect 10-0 record for all three groups.
Of the ninety-nine students in the class, seventy-eight remained, a result of both the excellent student body and Mu Jin's teaching standards.
Zhou Yi from the neighboring class wasn't so lucky.
Out of fifty-four students, only thirty-eight remained after the elimination rounds.
"Tap tap tap~"
In the new class.
Zhou Yi, her face grim, strode into the classroom and slammed a report card onto the desk.
"This is utterly shameful! Out of the top sixty-four in this round-robin tournament, only four out of eighteen from our class made it into any team! Even the highest-ranked team was Chen Yanjin's, eleventh! And that was against the strongest team, only losing three games! And you? Barely passing, a bunch of pigs?"
The entire class fell silent, heads drooping.
Only Huo Yuhao beamed with joy.
Eleventh! He succeeded!
As the class monitor, he had been questioned from the very beginning, and today, he could finally respond to those doubts!
For a moment, even his back straightened considerably.
"Hmph!"
After announcing the results, Zhou Yi looked around, giving Huo Yuhao a look of satisfaction and praise, then turned to the trembling Xiao Xiao beside her, adjusted her glasses, and said sharply, "Xiao Xiao, come to my office!"
...
A few minutes later.
Zhou Yi glanced sideways, crossed her legs, and stared at the unyielding Xiao Xiao.
"If you hadn't encountered Team Su Wen, you would have had a chance to get eight wins, which would be enough to rank you in the top seven among all teams! You have a chance to reach the top three.
Getting a seeded status and another soul bone would be so satisfying, wouldn't it?" She patiently and earnestly persuaded.
"I don't need to elaborate on how important the core disciple status is, right? Hmm? If you attach both soul rings your chances of getting into the top three would be even greater."
"But but I heard that as long as you can squeeze into the top ten, students who perform exceptionally well in the competition can obtain core disciple status," Xiao Xiao said weakly.
"Hmm?"
Zhou Yi raised an eyebrow, her eyes narrowing slightly.
Daring to question her?
She vaguely sensed something was amiss; this seemingly timid girl seemed to be somewhat beyond her control.
"I never expected you to be so selfish, Xiao Xiao. I really misjudged you."
Zhou Yi's voice was much louder, and even the students passing by in the corridor and some teachers cast glances at her, making Xiao Xiao feel suffocated.
"As a member of the team, you only think about your own personal interests and don't know how to contribute at all. I don't know where you heard some rumors, but you actually started to doubt your teacher Sigh."
Zhou Yi looked exhausted and rubbed her temples.
"Also, your performance this semester has really been mediocre. If it weren't for your sensible and well-behaved nature, I wouldn't have made things too difficult for you, but now..."
"I've said my piece. Go back and think about it carefully."
...
Class 2.
Su Wen sat in the back row by the window, taking a bite of the peeled orange that Ning Tian handed him, feeling quite content.
However, a commotion came from outside the classroom.
Wang Dong dragged Xiao Xiao over angrily and stood in front of Su Wen: "That beast forced Xiao Xiao to add a spirit ring again. She's shameless for the sake of grades. She even wanted to add two spirit rings!"
Xie Huan Yue and Xue Ling also came over.
Hearing this, he also became indignant.
"..."
Su Wen frowned. Dean Yan hadn't made a move yet?
Since that was the case, then don't blame him for not giving face.
"Xiao Xiao?" He looked up and glanced at the porcelain doll-like Xiao Xiao.
"Ah, senior ah no, Su Wen-ge no, Great Demon King."
Xiao Xiao's face was flushed, and she was flustered.
"Never mind, just call me Su Wen."
Su Wen's lips twitched, and he waved his hand.
"I'll go find Director Du Weilun later, and I'll transfer you to Class Two today. Twin martial souls shouldn't be wasted like this."
Su Wen stood up, his expression indifferent.
Suddenly he hesitated: "Never mind, Xie Huan Yue, you go and ask Director Du to come over. I'm too lazy to go."
Xie Huan Yue: ???
Do I have that much influence?
"State my name."
Su Wen sat back down.
This whole thing was Dean Yan's fault for being so indecisive. If anyone was to blame, it should be Du Weilun...
Besides, this situation was a provocation against Shrek Academy's rules.
If things escalated, even he, the head of the Martial Soul Department, would be caught in the crossfire.
"Alright!"
Xie Huanyue said, then vanished like a gust of wind.
