A comparison of the two Douluo, Huo Yuhao, the Lord of Reincarnation

Above the sky, Zhou Yi looked at Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.

Zhou Yi walked up to the two of them, her gaze lingering on Huo Yuhao for a moment:

"Why are you fighting?"

Huo Yuhao calmly said, "He set rules for me, and I don't accept them."

Zhou Yi then looked at Wang Dong: "What rules did you set for him?"

Wang Dong's expression was somewhat unnatural, and he said in a low voice, "It's just... the dormitory hygiene and stuff..."

After listening, Zhou Yi suddenly smiled.

"Hey kid, you're pretty arrogant. You dare to set rules for your roommates right after starting school?"

Wang Dong's face flushed red; he wanted to say something, but couldn't utter a word.

Zhou Yi then looked at Huo Yuhao:

"And you're not bad either. You dare to challenge someone from the second ring road, you've got guts."

She paused, then changed the subject:

"But what good is being bold? Winning is what matters."

"You won, so I won't punish you. But—"

She pointed outside the door:

"You two have to go running too. One hundred laps, then come back to class."

Huo Yuhao had already experienced the old lady's formidable nature and knew that going against her was never a good thing. After exchanging a glance with Wang Dong, he didn't say anything more and turned to leave the classroom.

On the playground, dozens of students began running, but some tried to slack off, since Zhou Yi wasn't there to supervise them personally.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong arrived at the training ground relatively late. Coupled with Huo Yuhao's lower cultivation level and poorer physical talent, his running progress lagged significantly behind the others.

As the deadline approached, both were still quite far from finishing, and at that moment, Wang Dong stepped in to help, pulling Huo Yuhao to complete the 100 laps.

After the time was up, the two collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily.

At this moment, Zhou Yi, the homeroom teacher, also arrived at the playground. She coldly scanned everyone, then looked at the nine students in the field and said grimly:

"Those whose names I call, please step forward: Cheng Cheng, Qiu Jianrao, Tang Dao, Shangguan Chentian, Lin Zeyu, Zhuge Yun, Tai Long, Tang Ling, Yun Xiaopiao."

She called out the names of nine people in total. The trainees were clearly surprised that Zhou Yi could call out the names of nine of them so easily, even though they hadn't introduced themselves.

The student who was called out walked out casually.

Zhou Yi said calmly, "The nine of you can go back and pack your bags to leave the academy. From this moment on, you are no longer students of Shrek Academy."

These words caused an uproar in the audience!

The nine people instantly turned pale, and one of them suddenly stood up:

"Why?! What did we do wrong?!"

Zhou Yi looked at him coldly, a mocking smile appearing on her lips:

"What did you do wrong? One hundred laps, don't you know how many laps you've run?"

The man's face grew even uglier, but he still stubbornly argued, "You weren't here to supervise, so what makes you say we didn't finish?"

Zhou Yi smiled, a smile that was icy and chilling.

"Didn't come to supervise? Do you think I'm as stupid as you guys?"

She raised her hand, and a small soul tool appeared in her palm—a monitoring soul tool capable of recording images.

"From the moment you started running, every single thing you did has been here."

The expressions on the faces of the nine people changed completely.

Zhou Yi put away the soul tool and said calmly, "Slacking off and deceiving your teachers—for this alone, expelling you is not unjust."

One of them gritted his teeth and said angrily, "We're not satisfied! We're going to report you to the academic affairs office!"

"Go ahead," Zhou Yi said without even looking at him. "The academic affairs office is just ahead, the main gate faces south. I'll wait."

The nine people looked at each other, then slunk away from the playground.

……

The Dark World, Douluo Continent.

This time, there were no arguments in the tavern, only unanimous criticisms.

"That teacher is too cruel! Expelled just because he didn't finish the lap?"

Those nine people did try to cheat, but does that warrant immediate expulsion? Wouldn't a warning be enough?

"Exactly! It's normal for young people to be lazy. A little education will do the trick. Why be so ruthless? Besides, isn't the point of coming to school to receive an education?"

The burly, bearded man who had previously supported Zhou Yi fell silent. After a long while, he finally said in a muffled voice, "This... really went a bit too far."

"That's going too far! Not just a little, it's outrageous!" someone nearby exclaimed indignantly. "Those nine people were just slacking off, they didn't commit any serious offense! Expelling them outright, isn't that ruining their futures?"

"But they really did make a mistake..."

"You can punish them, scold them, or make them do it again if they make a mistake! But you can't just expel them! Do you know what it means to be expelled from Shrek Academy? It means they'll be looked down upon wherever they go, and they'll have no hope for the future!"

A chorus of sighs filled the tavern.

……

In an ordinary academy in the Star Luo Empire.

The trainees looked at the sky and started discussing it amongst themselves.

"Thank goodness I didn't go to Shrek... that was terrifying."

"That's right. Our college may not be the best, but the teachers are all very nice. At most, students are punished by standing in the corner; they're never expelled outright."

"That teacher, Mr. Zhou, is a monster."

However, a few people spoke up for Zhou Yi: "But those students really did make a mistake... It's wrong to cheat and shirk responsibility."

"You can educate someone if they're wrong, you can punish them, but you can't expel them directly. Do you even know what education is? Education is about giving people a chance, not destroying them."

"The teachers at Shrek Academy are typical examples of using their power to bully and manipulate students!"

……

Shrek City, inner courtyard.

Xuanzi's face was very pale.

Yan Shaozhe said in a low voice, "Elder Xuan, Zhou Yi... this scene being exposed by Tianmu will damage Shrek Academy's reputation..."

"I know," Xuanzi interrupted him, taking a deep breath.

Of course he knew that everyone in the entire Douluo Continent was watching, and how many people would criticize Shrek Academy's teacher's behavior.

More importantly, the people in that white world are also watching. How will they view Shrek?

Qian Duoduo sighed: "Zhou Yi's teaching level is indeed high, but her methods... are too extreme."

"Extreme?" Xuanzi smiled bitterly. "Not extreme, but foolish."

He stood up, walked to the window, gazed at the nine departing figures in the sky, and said in a deep voice:

"Pass down the order to suspend Zhou Yi from her position as homeroom teacher and transfer her to the logistics department. Another teacher will be assigned to take over her class."

Yan Shaozhe was taken aback: "Elder Xuan, this... Zhou Yi has, after all, cultivated many talents for the academy..."

"I know."

Xuanzi turned around, her gaze resolute. "But talent isn't cultivated like this. She can be strict, but not ruthless. This exposure of the Sky Screen has already caused Shrek Academy to lose face. If we don't do something, outsiders will think we're condoning our teacher's abuse of power."

Yan Shaozhe was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, I'll take care of it right away."

……

White World, Sun and Moon Empire, Ming Capital.

The people watched this scene and discussed it amongst themselves.

"Haha, this Teacher Zhou is truly a talent!"

"Fire nine people outright? Just because they were lazy and didn't finish the lap?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, if this were in our Sun Moon Empire, it would have been reported long ago."

"That's right! Which teacher here doesn't reason with their students? Even if a student makes a mistake, they're educated first, then given a chance. How can you just condemn them like that?"

"So, Shrek's formula should have been outdated long ago."

Someone in the crowd laughed and said, "How do you think those nine expelled students feel right now?"

"How do you feel? You must hate that Teacher Zhou to death!"

"What's the use of being angry? They're the teacher, and you're the student. You can't argue your point even if you're right."

"That's why our Sun Moon Empire is so much better. Teachers and students are equal, and no one can control everything."

An old man stroked his beard and said slowly, "In all my years, I've seen strict teachers and kind teachers, but I've never seen anyone like Zhou Yi before."

"That's not called strict, that's called ruthless."

"It's true that strict teachers produce outstanding students. But strictness means setting high standards, not using harsh methods. A truly strict teacher fosters growth in students with a sense of awe, not fear."

Everyone nodded in agreement.
