Chapter 57 Zhou Yi is transferred, Mu Jin takes office
Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu supported each other for about five minutes before returning to the dormitory building.
On the way back, Zhu Lu's legs went weak, and Dai Huabin grabbed her waist and lifted her up half a step.
"Can it still hold on?"
Zhu Lu nodded without saying a word, but her entire weight was leaning on him.
The backlash from the Martial Soul Fusion Skill is no joke, especially the last strike, in which she poured all her soul power into it, and now she can barely lift her arm.
Upon entering the dormitory, Dai Huabin first helped Zhu Lu to sit down on the bed, then turned around and poured a glass of warm water from the table and handed it to her.
Zhu Lu took the cup, held it with both hands, and took a sip.
Dai Huabin sat down next to her, his mind still replaying the battle they had just fought.
The state of three forces combined is indeed ridiculously powerful.
However, the problem is also obvious: the duration is too short, and once it ends, the person feels completely drained. This isn't a conventional method; it can only be used as a last resort.
And Mr. Yi's advice was of utmost importance.
He closed his eyes and probed inward with his spiritual power.
The Eye of Life hangs quietly above the Sea of Spirit, its green halo slowly rotating in circles.
Electrolux's gray aura subsided again, probably because the purification of the Soul-Devouring Knife had consumed too much energy last time, and the recent aid had made the fragments of his consciousness need a longer recovery period.
"Hua Bin".
Zhu Lu's voice brought him back to reality.
"Um?"
"What was that light that shone from between your eyebrows just now?"
Dai Huabin thought about it and decided not to hide anything.
"It's spiritual strength."
Zhu Lu was stunned for a moment.
"When did you develop such strong spiritual power? It never happened during the previous fusion."
"It's only recently been introduced."
Dai Huabin carefully considered his words.
"The carving knife I bought back in Star Luo City had some special features inside, which I then activated."
Zhu Lu looked at him for a while but didn't ask for details.
She knew Dai Huabin's personality. If he could say something, he wouldn't hide it. If he didn't want to say something, she couldn't get it out of him by asking.
"Drink your water and go to bed early, you still need to see Dean Yan this afternoon."
Zhu Lu hummed in agreement, placed the cup on the bedside table, lay down on her side, and fell asleep within two minutes.
Dai Huabin covered her with a thin blanket and then leaned against the headboard to rest with his eyes closed.
At the same time, the students from Class One filed out of the classroom.
No one has gone far.
In the open space in front of the teaching building, people were gathered in twos and threes, all discussing what had just happened.
Information spreads faster than anyone could imagine.
After the students from Class 1 dispersed, they met friends, classmates, and fellow villagers from other classes, and everyone was talking about this incident.
By lunchtime, the cafeteria was in an uproar.
"Have you heard? Dai Huabin, the champion of the freshman assessment, beat up Zhou Yi, the homeroom teacher of Class 1."
"No way? That old witch Zhou Yi is a six-ring Soul Emperor!"
"It was a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, used by Dai Huabin and his partner Zhu Lu together. It's said that their final strike reached the Soul Emperor level."
"A fusion skill of a three-ring and a two-ring martial soul can defeat a six-ring martial soul? Are you making that up?"
"Who made that up? Everyone in Class One saw it. It was Wu Feng from their class who said it. Do you think she would lie to you?"
"Wouldn't Zhou Yi go crazy? Her reputation in the outer courtyard is already..."
Several second-year students sat in a corner, listening to the discussion among the freshmen, their expressions subtle.
One of the tall, thin men slammed his chopsticks on the table.
"Let me tell you, I experienced Zhou Yi's character when I was in first grade."
They immediately put us in a tough spot, making us run laps or stand as punishment at the drop of a hat, and releasing their Spirit pressure if we dared to talk back even slightly.
But no student ever actually dared to fight her.
"Is Dai Huabin the first one?"
"That's right. And he won."
The tall, thin man shook his head, his tone a mixture of admiration and schadenfreude:
"That feels good. That feels fucking good."
...
Foreign Languages Department faculty dormitory area.
Mu Jin is organizing her lesson plans for the next semester in her room.
A stack of papers lay on the table. She held a pen in her right hand and flipped through the roster with her left, going through the information of each student assigned to Class Two.
There was a knock on the door.
When I opened the door, I saw another assistant teacher from Class Two, surnamed Zhao.
Before even entering the room, Teacher Zhao spoke up: "Teacher Mu Jin, are you aware of what happened in Class One this morning?"
Mu Jin was taken aback: "What is it?"
Teacher Zhao looked at her in disbelief:
"You didn't know? Your precious student, Dai Huabin, got into a fight with Zhou Yi this morning! And he won!"
The pen in Mu Jin's hand fell onto the table.
"What did you say?"
Teacher Zhao embellished the information she had heard from the cafeteria.
When the story got to the part where Zhou Yi was knocked flying and smashed against the wall, Mu Jin had already stood up.
"Is he alright?"
"It's said that he and Zhu Lu exhausted their soul power and rested together in the dormitory. They should be fine."
Mu Jin breathed a sigh of relief, then remembered a crucial question.
Why did they fight?
Teacher Zhao explained the reason: Zhou Yi made a fuss about Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao transferring to another class during class, and Dai Huabin took the blame and stood up for the two of them, which escalated the conflict between the two sides.
Mu Jin remained silent for a few seconds.
"When Dai Huabin was criticizing Zhou Yi, he also said something." Teacher Zhao's expression turned a little strange.
"What did you say?"
He said, 'You are indeed far inferior to Teacher Mu Jin.'
Mu Jin paused for a moment.
Then she couldn't hold it in anymore, and the corners of her mouth turned up, higher and higher, until she leaned back in her chair, laughing so hard her shoulders were shaking.
Looking at her like this, Teacher Zhao said helplessly, "I knew you would react like this after hearing that."
Mu Jin waved her hand, managing to suppress her laughter, but she couldn't help but clench the arch of her eyebrows.
This child... truly worthy of being a student I taught.
...
The Martial Soul Department, Yan Shaozhe's private office.
When the door was pushed open, there were already three people sitting inside.
Yan Shaozhe was in the main seat.
Du Weiren sat in the guest seat on the left, holding a teacup in his hand, but did not drink a drop.
Zhou Yi stood directly in front of the desk. She had changed into a clean teacher's robe, but her right arm was still wrapped in bandages. Her face was pale, and her lips were pressed into a thin line.
Fan Yu sat in the chair on the right.
Fan Yu is not old, just over thirty years old. He is the only level eight soul master in the Soul Guidance Department besides the dean and vice dean, and has a high status in the academy.
He and Zhou Yi are husband and wife. Yan Shaozhe called Fan Yu here today to make things clear.
"Director Du has already investigated and found out what happened."
Yan Shaozhe's tone was very calm.
"Zhou Yi, you made things difficult for two students in class because of their normal class transfer records, and after the students argued their case, you used your Spirit to suppress the entire class. What explanation do you have for this?"
Zhou Yi gritted her teeth: "That student was rude!"
"He's still a freshman," Du Weiren interjected, setting down his teacup.
"You're in your thirties, a six-ring Soul Emperor. A freshman talked back to you a couple of times, and you unleashed your Martial Soul to put pressure on the whole class? Do you think it'll be him or you who loses face if word gets out?"
Zhou Yi's face flushed red and then turned pale.
Fan Yu remained silent the entire time.
He also felt that Zhou Yi's teaching methods were somewhat extreme, but he couldn't say anything because of their marital relationship.
Yan Shaozhe didn't give anyone time to process the information and directly threw out two names.
"Master Mu has made it clear that he will pay attention to Dai Huabin, this student."
Fan Yu's finger twitched.
Elder Mu, Mu En, Dragon God Douluo.
The person who stands at the very top of the entire Shrek Academy.
"And Wang Dong'er," Yan Shaozhe continued, "the female student you called out this morning, a direct disciple of the Clear Sky Sect."
Fan Yu finally turned to look at Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi's expression changed completely.
Clear Sky Sect.
The previous sect leader was Tang San, the Sea God.
Throughout the entire Douluo Continent, every Soul Master knows perfectly well what the name of the Clear Sky Sect means.
Moreover, this is especially true in Shrek.
The history of Tang San's studies at Shrek Academy remains one of the academy's proudest chapters. The connection between the Clear Sky Sect and Shrek Academy is deeper than most people imagine.
Fan Yu took a deep breath.
"Dean Yan, Zhou Yi did indeed handle this matter poorly."
Fan Yu's voice was very low.
"I apologize on her behalf."
Yan Shaozhe waved his hand.
"Fan Yu, I'm not holding a grudge against you. Your contributions to the Soul Guidance Department are recognized by everyone in the academy. But this isn't the first time Zhou Yi has caused trouble."
That hits the nail on the head.
Fan Yu shut his mouth.
Yes, this isn't the first time.
Every year when new students enroll, Zhou Yi's teaching methods trigger complaints.
Most of the students had tolerated it before because no one dared to confront a Soul Emperor-level teacher head-on. This time, however, they had run into Dai Huabin, a tough opponent indeed.
"Results of the processing".
Yan Shaozhe's tone remained calm, but brooked no negotiation.
"Zhou Yi will be transferred from her teaching position for the first grade, effective immediately. The position of homeroom teacher for Class 1 will be taken over by Mu Jin, the former homeroom teacher of Class 2."
Zhou Yi suddenly looked up: "Dean Yan!"
"It's settled then."
Four words: concise and to the point.
Zhou Yi opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing more.
Fan Yu stood up and patted Zhou Yi on the shoulder.
The two walked out of the office one after the other.
After the door closed, Du Weiren picked up his teacup, took a sip, and clicked his tongue.
"Zhou Yi was just unlucky; she happened to run into Dai Huabin."
Yan Shaozhe didn't respond to that.
He leaned back in his chair, his mind filled with the image of the bluish-gold beam of light that had shot out from between Dai Huabin's eyebrows that morning.
That spiritual power was too abnormal.
A Soul Master at level 30 shouldn't possess that level of spiritual power.
Old Master Mu instructed him to keep a close eye on things, and his assessment proved correct.
...
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
Dai Huabin woke up.
Zhu Lu was still asleep, breathing evenly, and her complexion was much better than in the morning.
He didn't call her, but quietly got out of bed and washed his face.
In the mirror, the golden patterns in his pupils flickered faintly, indicating that his spiritual energy had recovered to about 60-70%.
Soul power is slowly recovering. The effect of the Life Gold is truly miraculous. For an ordinary soul master, this level of overexertion would require them to lie down for at least a day or two.
He returned to the bedside and sat down on the edge of the bed.
Zhu Lu turned over, her hand unconsciously reaching towards him, only calming down after touching the hem of his clothes.
Dai Huabin looked down for a while, then reached out and tucked the stray hairs from her forehead behind her ear.
"Lulu, it's time to get up. We need to see Dean Yan this afternoon."
Zhu Lu's eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened them.
What time is it?
It's two o'clock.
Zhu Lu immediately sat up. The movement was so sudden that she felt dizzy and tumbled forward.
Dai Huabin reached out and helped her up.
"What's the rush? Nobody's urging us."
Zhu Lu steadied herself, nodded, and began to slowly put on her shoes.
After the two finished packing and left the dormitory, they saw three people standing at the entrance of the lobby on the first floor as soon as they reached the stairwell.
Wang Dong'er leaned against the wall, her arms crossed over her chest.
Her long, light blue hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her expression was unreadable.
Xiao Xiao stood next to her, small in stature, one hand tugging at Wang Dong'er's sleeve.
On the other side, Cui Yajie was tilting her head and looking at the sky with a bored expression.
Seeing Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu come down, the three of them turned their heads at the same time.
"Squad leader! Are you alright?" Xiao Xiao was the first to run over, circling around Dai Huabin and looking him up and down.
"fine."
Cui Yajie took two steps closer, glanced at Dai Huabin's expression, then at Zhu Lu's, and frowned slightly.
"You both look pretty bad."
"It's alright, I've almost recovered," Zhu Lu said, her voice still a little hoarse.
Wang Dong'er didn't move.
After everyone else had finished expressing their concern, she slowly walked over from the wall.
"Are you going to see Dean Yan?"
Dai Huabin nodded.
"I'm going too." Wang Dong'er's tone left no room for negotiation. "The incident this morning started because of my and Xiao Xiao's class transfer record. I have the right to know how it was handled."
Dai Huabin thought about it and realized that what she said made sense.
"Let's go together then."
Xiao Xiao and Cui Yajie also want to go.
"You two shouldn't go." Wang Dong'er glanced back at the two of them. "There are too many people, and it won't be easy to talk to Dean Yan."
Cui Yajie thought about it and agreed, so she nodded: "Okay, then we'll wait for you outside."
Xiao Xiao looked at Dai Huabin with some unease, then at Zhu Lu, before being pulled away by Cui Yajie.
