Douluo Continent: Apollo, the Sun God King!

Two days later. Early morning.

Classroom of Class 1, Freshmen.

Lin Yaoyang and Wang Dong walked into the classroom one after the other.

The classroom was already mostly full. Upon seeing the two enter, many eyes immediately turned to them.

After seeing the two men's appearances, many female trainees' eyes lit up.

Lin Yaoyang was wearing a white school uniform, with short orange-red hair and wispy bangs that just covered part of his brow bone, making him look sunny and handsome.

Standing at 1.8 meters tall, he's quite tall for his age, and he walks with a brisk, energetic gait. He exudes a masculine aura that makes people feel comfortable.

Wang Dong, who was behind him, was also wearing a white school uniform, but he exuded a different kind of charm.

Her short, light blue hair was striking, her skin was excessively fair, and her features were so delicate they seemed unreal. However, her slightly raised chin gave her an arrogant air, making her appear somewhat unapproachable.

The two have different temperaments, but both are very good-looking.

Lin Yaoyang glanced around the classroom, his gaze lingering on a window seat in the back row for a moment, before walking straight over and sitting down.

Wang Dong followed closely behind and sat down next to him without hesitation.

Lin Yaoyang glanced at her but didn't say anything.

His gaze passed over the heads of the people in the front row and landed on a thin boy in the second row near the aisle.

With short black hair, delicate features, and a somewhat pale complexion, he sat there quietly, like an inconspicuous little animal.

Huo Yuhao.

Lin Yaoyang withdrew his gaze, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Just then, he noticed a girl in the front row looking back at him several times.

The girl looked very petite, with pigtails. She wasn't particularly beautiful, but she had a delicate and pretty appearance that was quite pleasing to the eye.

Her gaze darted over furtively, then quickly retreated, like a little rabbit peeking out.

When she turned around again, Lin Yaoyang smiled slightly at her.

The girl's face flushed red instantly, and she quickly turned her head away, her ear tips burning pink.

They've been discovered...

She buried her head low, wishing she could disappear into the table.

Wang Dong witnessed this scene from the side, his lips twitched, and he muttered under his breath, "Attracting attention."

Lin Yaoyang ignored her.

……

"Ring ring—"

The school bell rang.

A person walked into the classroom.

She was an old woman, with wrinkled skin and white hair, her gray hair coiled on top of her head, wearing a white robe, and of medium build.

She looked to be at least sixty or seventy years old, but her eyes were exceptionally bright, with a sharp glint in her black pupils, as if she could see right through everyone.

The previously somewhat chaotic classroom instantly fell silent. All eyes were focused on the teacher's podium.

The old woman stood behind the podium, her gaze calmly sweeping from left to right. Everyone felt as if they were being watched, as if their thoughts were laid bare before her.

"My name is Zhou Yi, and I am your homeroom teacher."

Her voice was a harsh, hoarse sound, like a broken gong, which sounded particularly jarring in the quiet classroom.

"I'm not sure how many of you will be able to walk with me through the next year. But I'm telling you, in my class, no trash will pass the tests. I'm raising monsters, not idiots."

The classroom was completely silent. No one dared to speak.

Zhou Yi's gaze swept around the classroom, and she suddenly said something that surprised everyone.

"Anyone who has been in a fight during the past few days of registration, please stand up."

The whole class was stunned.

These students were all just admitted; who would fight in the academy for no reason? And even if they did, who would admit it?

Wang Dong nudged Lin Yaoyang with his elbow, blinked his beautiful eyes, and the meaning was clear: get up or not?

Lin Yaoyang shrugged.

Bold and responsible.

He stood up.

Seeing this, Wang Dong also stood up.

Of the hundred students in the class, only the two of them stood up. Instantly, they stood out like cranes among chickens, becoming the focus of everyone's attention.

"Just two?" Zhou Yi raised an eyebrow, her gaze sweeping over the two of them, a cryptic smile playing on her lips.

Then she turned to the others, her tone suddenly turning cold: "What a bunch of useless trash. Don't you know what 'a coward who doesn't dare to cause trouble' means? Everyone except those two, get out and run one hundred laps around Shrek Square. Anyone who doesn't finish will be expelled."

These words caused an uproar in the class.

It's only the first day of school, classes haven't even started, and they're already punishing me for not fighting? Who can accept that?

Immediately, a boy sitting in the front row stood up, his face flushed red: "Teacher, I'm not having this! Why are we being punished for not fighting?"

Zhou Yi glanced at him indifferently, her tone as calm as if she were stating something perfectly normal: "Because I said it. If you're not happy, you can get lost. As the class teacher, I have the right to expel any student. I'll give you one minute. If I don't see you all running around Shrek Square within one minute, you're all expelled."

The boy's face turned from red to white, his lips trembled a few times, but in the end he dared not say anything more.

Zhou Yi then looked at Lin Yaoyang and Wang Dong, seemingly quite satisfied with their "courage and responsibility".

"You two..."

"Teacher Zhou."

Lin Yaoyang spoke.

His voice wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the empty classroom.

Zhou Yi raised an eyebrow slightly and looked at him.

Lin Yaoyang met her gaze and said, "You're only half right."

Zhou Yi narrowed her eyes.

"Shrek's motto is to only accept monsters, not ordinary people, not just troublemakers."

"You're making those who haven't fought run laps? Are you encouraging us to bully the weak? What's the difference between that and being a cult master?"

The classroom fell silent for a moment.

Wang Dong stared wide-eyed at Lin Yaoyang in disbelief.

What is he saying? Is he talking back to the homeroom teacher?

Zhou Yi clearly hadn't expected anyone to dare speak to her like that. In all her years of teaching, she had never had a freshman dare to contradict her like that to her face.

She paused for a moment, then her face darkened.

Are you questioning my teaching methods?!

As soon as she finished speaking, a terrifying aura surged out from her body!

The powerful fluctuations of soul energy made Lin Yaoyang and Wang Dong feel like they couldn't breathe. Rings of soul energy rose up from beneath Zhou Yi's feet.

Two yellow, two purple, two black.

Six-Ring Soul Emperor!

The two ten-thousand-year-old spirit rings exuded a chilling aura of oppression, making the air in the entire classroom seem to freeze. It's no exaggeration to say that if she wanted to deal with these two junior students, it would be a piece of cake.

Wang Dong's expression changed. She subconsciously moved closer to Lin Yaoyang.

But Lin Yaoyang's expression did not change at all.

He stood still, facing the oppressive aura of a Soul Emperor, and sneered, "A six-ring Soul Emperor? As expected, the rules of Shrek Academy are always ruled by the strong."

His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, and every word was clear and distinct.

"You use your soul power to suppress us freshmen. How are you any different from the mediocre people you talk about, or those evil soul masters outside? You're just bullying people by relying on your strength."
