Douluo Continent: Shrek Prince, Getting to the Root of the Matter

Time passed slowly, and the students of Class 1 finally made it to the end of get out of class.

As the trainees were released, some public opinion began to spread rapidly.

The specific content includes numerous negative comments about Yu Wudao, such as "Yu Wudao is disrespectful to his elders, insults his teacher on the first day of school, and publicly mocks the dean of the Martial Soul Department" and "Yu Wudao is ignorant of his own limitations, insults Soul Emperor level experts by relying on his family background, and fully displays his spoiled nature."

Even among the new students, those who had some understanding of Yu Wudao only had information from books and never imagined that the real Yu Wudao was far wilder than the information they had received.

They dared not complain about the Soul Emperor, but they were unwilling to swallow their anger, so Yu Wudao, who seemed easier to bully, became their outlet for venting their frustrations.

The speed at which public opinion spread far exceeded anyone's expectations. In less than half a day, almost the entire freshman class knew that there was such an unruly student in their class.

Wang Dong returned to his dormitory with a gloomy face as soon as get out of class ended. He found Yu Wudao still sitting cross-legged on his bed cultivating. He immediately frowned and said unhappily:

"Do you know what people outside are saying about you? You still have the leisure to cultivate? Do you know what I, your master, am like...?"

Yu Wudao opened his eyes upon hearing the sound. Although Mu En did not pursue his skipping class, he was not allowed to wander around freely, so he simply went back to his dormitory to cultivate.

He sniffed, frowned, and said, "Where have you been? Why do you smell so bad? Go take a shower!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong reacted as if he had finally found a reservoir to release his pent-up anger, and said furiously:

"It's all because of that old hag Zhou Yi! You have no idea how awful her face was when you left, it was as black as the bottom of a pot! Then she went crazy, making us run laps around the track endlessly, and she even expelled more than ten students!"

After saying that, she raised an eyebrow with a hint of smugness.

"Luckily, I'm quite capable, so I wasn't completely wrecked, just a bit sweaty. You wouldn't believe the scene when the bell rang – it was like wheat being blown down by the autumn wind, a whole bunch of them collapsed at once!"

Yu Wudao pinched his nose and fanned himself. One downside of having an extreme physical body as a martial soul is that it makes the five senses too acute, which makes Yu Wudao smell the sweat on Wang Dong's body exceptionally clearly.

"Shut up, or I'll throw you out!"

"How could you do this? I was worried about you! Do you know what they said about you after class? At this rate, you'll be being pointed at and talked about like a cricket the moment you step outside!"

"Okay, okay, you hurry up, I'm going out to see how other people cricket me."

Yu Wudao walked out of the dormitory, closed the door behind him, and paid no attention to the public opinion that Wang Dong had mentioned. He then turned and headed towards the office building.

Perhaps because she had been immersed in her own world for too long, Zhou Yi had gradually forgotten what Shrek was, or perhaps Zhou Yi had never really understood Shrek.

In Yu Wudao's eyes, the move she made was so childish, so... ridiculous.

Sunset West Mountain.

Zhou Yi sat listlessly in the office, her brows furrowed, the wrinkles on her face pressed together.

She couldn't understand why, despite the immense public opinion surrounding the outer academy, the Martial Soul Department's management remained completely unresponsive.

In order to spread public opinion quickly, she even made an exception and promised those useless people that the punishment of being expelled would be reversed.

In her view, the current situation should be one where the management puts pressure on Yu Wudao under public pressure, leaving him with no choice but to seek forgiveness from her, his homeroom teacher and the person involved. At this point, she should forgive Yu Wudao with a stern yet morally upright demeanor, so that Yu Wudao will be completely won over by her magnanimity and grace, and ultimately submit to her.

But the reality is that at this moment, from top to bottom, not even an ordinary teacher in the Martial Soul Department has shown any concern or made any statement regarding this matter.

Puzzled, Zhou Yi slowly left the office building.

On her way to the teachers' dormitory, she inevitably encountered some students.

"Hey, senior, have you heard? There's a total lawless troublemaker among this year's freshmen!"

The new students, dressed in white school uniforms, spoke with a hint of excitement in their voices.

However, the students in purple school uniforms remained calm, as if they were used to it:

"The little devil, it's just standard practice, nothing unusual."

"So, senior, how do you think the academy will deal with him this time? I heard that Yu Wudao has been running rampant in the outer academy for a long time. Is he really that stubborn? Hasn't he been punished before?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yi slowed her pace.

However, the senior in the purple school uniform just looked at the student who asked the question with a strange expression.

"Punishment? Are you stupid? This is Shrek Academy, not kindergarten! A higher-level, older Soul Master who gets bullied by a kid is supposed to go home crying and complaining to his mother?"

If a teacher can't even convince her own students, what right does she have to teach so-called monsters?

It's normal to have these thoughts now that you've only just enrolled, but if you still have these thoughts three months later, I advise you to leave Shrek Academy as soon as possible.

After saying that, the senior walked away, leaving the freshmen standing there dumbfounded.

Crunch!

Zhou Yi unconsciously clenched her fists as she listened to the student's sarcastic remarks without missing a single word.

Although she was furious, this reminded her of something.

Zhou Yi had always been successful with her method, easily gaining the obedience of her students. This was the first time Yu Wudao had encountered such a situation, which caused her judgment to indeed be flawed.

"But it's okay, it's not too late to realize it now!"

Zhou Yi gritted her teeth, and Yu Wudao's hateful face flashed through her mind again.

"All that's needed is to adjust the plan..."

"Zhou Yi!"

A shout interrupted her thoughts, and Zhou Yi finally came to her senses.

Looking up, I saw a school worker wearing a green uniform.

"What are you thinking about? So engrossed? Never mind... Director Du requests your presence..."

The school worker turned to the side and stretched out an arm.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Yi felt a glimmer of hope rise in her heart.

"Does this mean I didn't make a mistake? Does the academy ultimately care more about me as a teacher?"

With this thought in mind, Zhou Yi's wrinkles suddenly unfolded like chrysanthemums, and she walked ahead with joyful steps.

The Martial Soul System's advanced office building is located on the shore of Poseidon Lake behind Poseidon Square. It took Zhou Yi a little while to climb to the third floor, which was the office floor where Du Weilun worked.

Standing at the door, Zhou Yi nervously took out a small mirror and began to tidy her clothes. After making sure that the collar and cuffs were all straightened, she cleared her throat and reached out to open the automatic door.

"Hey! Old man, you actually know to open the door for me. Looks like you're not as bad as I thought!"

The door opened, and Yu Wudao stood in the doorway, speaking in a flippant tone.

Zhou Yi's face darkened, and a sense of foreboding rose in her heart.

Reason gradually returned, and the illusion took precedence.

Logically speaking, Du Weilun and the others should not yet know that they have replaced that old teacher. Even if they need to deal with public opinion, why would they summon him directly?

Could it be that……

Thinking of this, Zhou Yi's sense of unease grew stronger.

She hurriedly reached out to grab Yu Wudao, who was about to leave.

However, as if Yu Wudao had eyes in the back of his head, he dodged to the side without warning.

"Zhou Yi! What are you doing!"

Du Weilun's fiery voice came from inside the room, and Zhou Yi froze on the spot for a moment before timidly muttering:

"I just wanted to ask him what he was doing here."

Yu Wudao waved his hand, "Director Du, it's nothing."

"I came here to order food, of course!"

"Want to order?"

Zhou Yi was puzzled.

"After you leave, someone has to take over, right?"
