Douluo Continent: The Peerless Hunting Heavenly Lord, Huo Yuhao!

But her oppressive aura was instantly blocked by two streams of energy as soon as it reached Huo Yuhao.

Ning Tian stepped forward, standing beside Huo Yuhao, and coldly looked at Zhou Yi: "Teacher Zhou, isn't this punishment a bit too much? Yuhao didn't do anything wrong, so why should he be punished? If you continue to act recklessly, I'll go to the Academic Affairs Office, find Dean Yan, and ask Shrek Academy whether it allows teachers to deal with students so arbitrarily!"

Gu Yue was even more direct. She didn't say anything, but simply stood on Huo Yuhao's other side, a cold glint flashing in her purple eyes as she stared intently at Zhou Yi.

The meaning couldn't be clearer: if you dare touch him, I dare to retaliate.

Zhou Yi looked at the three people standing side by side, her face extremely grim.

Huo Yuhao is a core disciple of the Soul Guidance Department, Ning Tian is the young master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Gu Yue is a genius whom even Dean Yan thinks highly of. With these three people tied together, let alone her, the class teacher of Class Zero, even Du Weilun would not dare to deal with them at will.

She originally wanted to use Huo Yuhao to establish her authority and intimidate the entire Class Zero, but she didn't expect to lose face instead of gaining an advantage, and was instead humiliated by Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao looked at Zhou Yi, whose face was ashen, sneered, and said indifferently, "Zhou Yi, don't try to show off your power in front of me. I'll stay in Class Zero, but I won't play along with your ridiculous rules. You're not qualified to make me get out."

After saying that, he pulled Ning Tian and Gu Yue back to their seats, without glancing at Zhou Yi again.

Cao Jinxuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly sat down as well.

The other students in the classroom looked at each other and then sat back down in their seats. No one dared to look at Zhou Yi's expression anymore.

Standing on the podium, Zhou Yi looked at the students filling the classroom and felt a burning sensation on her face, as if she had been slapped hard several times.

She stared intently at Huo Yuhao's retreating figure, her eyes filled with resentment and venom, yet she dared not actually lash out.

She knew that from today onwards, she could no longer control this Class Zero at will.

Sitting in his seat, Huo Yuhao tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

Zhou Yi? It was just a minor incident.

Next, what he needs to do is to establish the Lionheart Society firmly and truly seize control of the discourse within Shrek Academy.

"Huo! Yu! Hao!"

The three words were practically squeezed out through clenched teeth. Standing on the podium, Zhou Yi looked at the students who ignored her instructions and took their seats, especially Huo Yuhao, who had his back to her and was still casually tapping the table with his fingertips. She felt a surge of anger rush from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, and the string of reason snapped completely.

The oppressive aura of the Six-Ring Battle Soul Emperor exploded without reservation!

Unlike the previous tentative pressure, this time, the terrifying soul power belonging to the Soul Emperor level swept through the entire classroom like a tsunami. The black stone desks and chairs creaked under the weight, and the window frames vibrated.

"Get out of my class!!" Zhou Yi's eyes were bloodshot as she pointed at Huo Yuhao and roared angrily, her voice echoing through the classroom walls.

Huo Yuhao slowly turned around, looked up at her, his face showing no fear, but instead a faint, mocking smile. He spoke calmly, his voice not loud, but clearly carried throughout the classroom: "Zhou Yi, I'm telling you this now, if you want me to leave, then you have the guts to kick me out yourself."

He didn't even get up; he simply tapped his fingertips lightly on the table. His third eye quietly opened, and his ultimate spiritual power was already spread out, taking in every detail of the soul power circulating within Zhou Yi's body.

Huo Yuhao bets that Zhou Yi wouldn't dare to really kill him!

He is a core disciple of the Soul Guidance Department, a disciple favored by Qian Duoduo, and the key to suppressing Ma Xiaotao's evil fire. If she really hurts him, Yan Shaozhe will be the first to not forgive her.

Moreover, Shrek Academy's rules clearly stipulate that teachers must not use force against students without cause, let alone kill a freshman with only one level of cultivation.

If she really dares to take action, she'll be the one who loses her job.

He had calculated the bottom line, but he hadn't anticipated that Zhou Yi, whose shameful acts had been exposed and who had lost face in front of the entire class of freshmen, was already blinded by rage.

"You! You! You!" Zhou Yi pointed at Huo Yuhao, her fingers trembling, shaking with rage. After uttering three "you"s in a row, she suddenly squeezed out three more words through gritted teeth, "Fine! Fine! Fine!"

As she finished speaking the three "good"s, her fire-attribute soul power surged instantly, and the scorching heat swept across the entire area, even distorting the air itself.

"Martial Soul Possession!"

With a furious roar, dark red scales instantly spread from her neck, covering her entire arm, and sharp dragon claws sprang from her fingertips, wreathed in blazing, high-temperature dragon flames.

Two curved dragon horns sprouted from its head, and a scale-covered dragon tail swung behind it. Its pupils had completely transformed into vertical pupils, carrying the ferocious aura unique to dragons.

Two yellow, two purple, and two black spirit rings rose from beneath her feet, rotating orderly around her body. The oppressive aura of the optimal spirit ring configuration swept over everyone, causing the temperature in the entire classroom to rise rapidly, and even the wooden corners of the tables began to scorch slightly.

Chapter 26: Taking Action to Stop It

"First Soul Skill – Red Dragon Claw!"

Zhou Yi gave no one time to react. Her first spirit ring suddenly lit up, and the dragon claw covered in dragon flames shrieked as it ripped through the air, grabbing fiercely at Huo Yuhao!

She didn't intend to kill Huo Yuhao, but with this claw strike, even with his soul power protecting him, he would be severely injured and bedridden. She wanted to make this brat who dared to challenge her authority in public pay a heavy price!

Dai Huabin, sitting in the back row, smiled even more broadly, arms crossed, waiting to see Huo Yuhao get sent flying in a miserable state.

Just as the dragon claw, wreathed in scorching dragon flames, was less than three meters from Huo Yuhao, the two figures moved simultaneously.

"The seven treasures are named: the second is 'liberation'! The third is 'strength'!"

Ning Tian instantly stood up, and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda shone with golden light. Two amplification buffs instantly fell on Gu Yue, while a control-removing shield enveloped Huo Yuhao, offsetting the mental pressure brought by the dragon's might.

"Ice Wall".

Gu Yue's cold voice rang out, and a chill flashed in her purple eyes. Instantly, three ice walls, each half a meter thick, rose up in front of her, layer upon layer, blocking Huo Yuhao's way.

As soon as the ice wall took shape, her third spirit ring suddenly lit up, and earth element frantically condensed. Several stone spikes instantly rose from the ground and pierced towards Zhou Yi's feet, forcing her to withdraw her attack and defend.

Clang!

The dragon claw slammed into the ice wall, the scorching dragon flames colliding with the extreme cold, producing a piercing hissing sound, and white mist instantly spread out.

The first ice wall shattered instantly, and the second and third walls followed suit. However, Zhou Yi's momentum was completely blocked, and the stone spikes under her feet forced her to jump back a step to dodge the attack.

As the white mist dissipated, Gu Yue stood before Huo Yuhao, her black hair flying in the wind. She was surrounded by the four elements of water, fire, earth, and wood, like a king who controlled the elements. She looked coldly at Zhou Yi without saying a word, but the killing intent in her eyes was more intimidating than any harsh words.

She is the Silver Dragon King. Let alone a six-ring Soul Emperor, even a Title Douluo would dare to mess with Huo Yuhao in front of her, and she would dare to turn on him on the spot.

"Zhou Yi, how dare you lay a hand on a student in the classroom?" Ning Tian took a step forward, his eyes filled with anger. "Aren't you afraid the academy will hold you accountable? Aren't you afraid my Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School will report this to the Sea God Pavilion?"

Zhou Yi looked at the two people blocking Huo Yuhao's way, and then at the shocked and dissatisfied looks on the faces of the surrounding students. Her anger flared even more: "I'm disciplining my student, and it's none of your business to interrupt! Today, I'm going to kick this disrespectful brat out of Shrek Academy!"

Her second spirit ring lit up again, and she was about to unleash her dragon breath to completely tear off the mask.

Just then, a gentle yet cold female voice came from the classroom doorway:

"Zhou Yi, try touching my student!"

Before the words were even finished, a flood of pink and white hibiscus petals poured into the classroom like a tide, instantly covering the entire space.

The petals appeared soft, but they carried extremely strong soul power. When Zhou Yi's dragon flames touched the petals, most of them were instantly extinguished.

"Second Soul Skill: Falling Blossoms!"

The petals instantly coalesced into a thick barrier, standing between Zhou Yi and Huo Yuhao, remaining unmoved despite the scorching dragon flames.

Mu Jin walked in slowly, wearing a light purple teacher's uniform, her long hair tied up, her eyebrows and eyes gentle, but her eyes were full of coldness.

She stood before the barrier, facing Zhou Yi from afar. The pressure of a six-ring Soul Emperor was released simultaneously, rivaling Zhou Yi's red dragon pressure, and she was not at all inferior.

She was already worried about Huo Yuhao and the others joining Class Zero, so she came over specifically to check on them. Unexpectedly, as soon as she reached the door, she saw Zhou Yi with her martial spirit possessing her, about to attack Huo Yuhao, which made her furious on the spot.

"Mu Jin? This is my Class Zero, it's none of your business!" Zhou Yi looked at Mu Jin, her face even more unpleasant.

The person she hated most in her life was Mu Jin. She lost the bet and lost face, and now Mu Jin was jumping out to protect Huo Yuhao, which was simply adding fuel to the fire.

"Your Class Zero?" Mu Jin sneered, glancing across the room. "Zhou Yi, you dare call this your class? Shrek Academy has been established for ten thousand years. Which school rule allows a homeroom teacher to use their martial soul on a new student in the classroom and kill them? Just because someone was a second slow to stand up, you want to expel them from the class and even physically harm them? What kind of teacher are you?"

"What's wrong with me disciplining a student who has no respect for his elders?" Zhou Yi retorted angrily, but her tone had already weakened considerably.

She knew very well that if she laid a hand on a student in the classroom and the matter reached the academic affairs department, she would be in deep trouble.

"Disrespectful to elders?" Mu Jin stepped forward, her gaze sharp as a knife. "Respect comes before courtesy. To beat me, you leaked the exam content to your students beforehand, and then reneged on the bet and refused to return the soul bone. Is this what a teacher should do? To boost your college entrance rate, you arbitrarily expelled new students, sacrificing their futures for your own performance. Is this the virtue a teacher should have? You attacked a first-level student in public, bullying the weak. Is this the bottom line for a teacher?"

"You yourself don't act like a teacher at all, so why should you expect your students to respect you?"

His words were like daggers, each one piercing Zhou Yi's heart. Her face turned pale and then red, her hands trembling, yet she couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.

The students in the classroom nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with disdain as they looked at Zhou Yi.

They were angry but dared not speak out before, but now that Teacher Mujin has made things clear, they have nothing to be afraid of.

"Exactly, Teacher Zhou went too far. It was only a second slower, was it really necessary to resort to violence?"

"Huo Yuhao is right. Virtue comes first, then respect. She is not worthy of being our homeroom teacher at all!"

The whispers grew louder and louder, eventually coalescing into a wave of discontent.

Looking at the students in the classroom who were opposing her, Zhou Yi felt her face burning as if she had been slapped dozens of times, and she couldn't even stand up.

Just then, heavy footsteps came from the classroom door.

Du Weilen walked in with a dark face, followed by two teachers from the Academic Affairs Office.

He had overheard the entire conversation in the corridor. Looking at Zhou Yi, who was possessed by her martial spirit and had a furious expression, and then at Mu Jin blocking his way, his face turned extremely ugly.

"Zhou Yi! Immediately dispel the Martial Soul Possession!" Du Weilun roared angrily, his Soul Douluo aura instantly pressing down, completely suppressing Zhou Yi's dragon might. "Look at the state you're in! Attacking a student in the classroom? Do you even respect the academy's rules?"

Zhou Yi trembled all over. Looking at Du Weilun's ashen face, she finally panicked and hurriedly released her martial soul possession. The scales and dragon claws slowly faded away, and she lowered her head, not daring to speak.

"Director Du, about this matter..." Zhou Yi was about to explain when Du Weilun interrupted her sharply.

"Shut up!" Du Weilun glared at her. "Come back to the Academic Affairs Office with me! The college will deal with this matter seriously! The teaching work for Class Zero will be temporarily handled by Teacher Mu Jin!"

In short, Zhou Yi was removed from her position as the homeroom teacher of Class 0.

Zhou Yi looked up abruptly, her face full of disbelief. But seeing Du Weilun's unyielding gaze, she finally gritted her teeth, lowered her head, and slunk out with the people from the Academic Affairs Office.

As she passed by Huo Yuhao, she cast a venomous glance at him, only to be met with a nonchalant look from him.

They can't even protect themselves, yet they dare to make such threats?

The classroom finally fell silent. Mu Jin waved her hand, and the hibiscus petals scattered in the air slowly dissipated. She turned around, looked at the students in the classroom, and said gently, "Alright, everything's fine now. I will be temporarily in charge of teaching Class Zero from today onwards. I won't impose any unreasonable rules or restrictions. As long as you cultivate diligently and abide by the school rules, I will never criticize anyone without cause."
