Douluo Continent: The Purple Dragon's Roar, the End of the Dark Abyss

The two arrived at Yan Shaozhe's office.

Yan Shaozhe said, "Ye Linyi, let me introduce myself first. My name is Yan Shaozhe, and I am the dean of Shrek Academy. You can also call me Dean Yan."

Ye Linyi nodded.

Then Yan Shaozhe began to shower Ye Linyi with concern, asking him if he felt unwell or if he was injured.

Ye Linyi answered them one by one.

Zhou Yi, the other party involved, was sidelined and deemed insignificant.

Zhou Yi watched as Yan Shaozhe showered Ye Linyi, who was uninjured, with concern, while ignoring her, the injured one. She said indignantly, "Dean Yan, aren't you going to ask me if I'm hurt?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe merely glanced at Zhou Yi indifferently, his tone carrying an unquestionable coldness: "There's a first-aid kit over there, you can take care of it yourself."

Zhou Yi: ………….

Yan Shaozhe said, "Alright, now tell me what happened, what went on."

Before she could finish speaking, Zhou Yi's eyes lit up instantly, as if she had found an outlet. She took a step forward and pointed her finger directly at Ye Linyi, launching into a long accusation: "Dean Yan, you must give this a good judgment! This Ye Linyi is utterly disrespectful. Not only is he late for class, but he also openly violates school rules and talks back to the teacher in class!"

In the fight just now, he attacked first, completely disregarding me as his teacher! The injury on my left shoulder is proof of his arrogance!

As she spoke, she covered her wound, her face filled with grievance and indignation, as if she wanted to pour out all of Ye Linyi's "crimes" at once.

Listening to Zhou Yi's endless complaints, Yan Shaozhe felt his head spinning and said, "In short, Ye Linyi is wrong, isn't he?"

Zhou Yi nodded frantically and said, "That's right, I suggest expelling Ye Linyi from Shrek Academy and abolishing his martial soul!"

Yan Shaozhe frowned as he listened to Zhou Yi's explanation and asked, "Is that all? Is there anything else?"

Zhou Yi now seemed to see Ye Linyi's martial soul being abolished and him being expelled from Shrek Academy, and said, "That's all, Dean Yan, I suggest we execute it immediately!"

On the other side, Ye Linyi raised an eyebrow nonchalantly, a faint smile curving his lips.

He knew perfectly well that Yan Shaozhe would definitely stand on his side.

After all, the fact that a Soul Venerable could defeat a Soul Emperor is a testament to the immense potential and value behind it. It's as clear to anyone with eyes that their future achievements will far surpass those of the Soul Emperor before them.

After listening, Yan Shaozhe nodded and said to Ye Linyi, "Ye Linyi, what do you think of her suggestion?"

Zhou Yi said from the side, "Dean Yan, why are you still asking him? Just do it immediately."

Ye Linyi looked at Yan Shaozhe in surprise. Was Yan Shaozhe a blockhead? Was he siding with Zhou Yi? Or did he nonchalantly say, "Okay."

Yan Shaozhe stood up and said to Zhou Yi, who was overjoyed, "Alright, Zhou Yi, you can abolish your martial soul yourself and then get out of Shrek Academy. I don't want to do it."

After hearing Yan Shaozhe's words, Ye Linyi's lips curled up slightly, his tone carrying a hint of teasing and confidence: "I thought Yan Shaozhe was brainless, but I didn't expect him to ask me how this punishment would affect Zhou Yi? That's a bit of a surprise to me."

Before she could finish speaking, Zhou Yi, who had been vehemently accusing Ye Linyi, was suddenly struck dumb, her entire body frozen in place.

Zhou Yi stared wide-eyed at Yan Shaozhe in disbelief, her voice trembling slightly: "Dean Yan, are you sure you're not mistaken? It's not me, it's Ye Linyi..."

Yan Shaozhe's gaze was piercing, fixed on Zhou Yi. His voice was deep and authoritative, like an unshakeable mountain pressing down: "Zhou Yi, we have received numerous joint complaints from students' parents! You have abused your power, forcibly overdrawn students' potential, and even resorted to force to expel genius students from Shrek Academy! Now, there's this incident—attacking students. Should I come personally?"

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yi's face turned deathly pale, and her fingers clenched involuntarily, as if she were nailed to the spot by this sudden accusation.

Their previous arrogance had vanished, replaced by endless panic and helplessness.

Ye Linyi stood to the side, relaxed and content, his smile deepening – he had expected this all along.

Yan Shaozhe said impatiently, "Zhou Yi, I'm only saying this because you were Shrek's teacher before. Are you going to make the move, or should I?"

Zhou Yi's face turned deathly pale, her lips trembled uncontrollably, and her voice was hoarse with a hint of despair: "I can do it myself..." She took a deep breath, as if using all her strength, and slowly raised her hand, gathering a faint soul power at her fingertips, and gently touched her chest—the source of her martial soul.

With a slight fluctuation of soul power, her martial soul aura receded rapidly like a tide, eventually falling into complete silence.

"I will rewrite the resignation agreement..." Her voice was low and weak, no longer the aloof and arrogant Zhou Yi, but a soul master crushed by reality.

Yan Shaozhe watched coldly from the sidelines, offering no obstruction whatsoever. He merely glanced at Ye Linyi, whose lips curled into a barely perceptible smile—this farce had finally ended in the way he had most hoped for.

After Zhou Yi left in a disheveled state, Yan Shaozhe looked at Ye Linyi and said, "Ye Linyi, how do you feel about how you handled this matter?"

Ye Linyi said with a smile, "Very satisfied, Dean Yan."

Seeing the composed smile on Ye Linyi's lips, Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes. He then chuckled and said, "Also, here are three Soul Ascension Pills, as compensation for this incident."

He casually handed a small, exquisite jade bottle to Ye Linyi. The bottle glowed with a faint blue light, clearly a treasure containing precious soul power.

Ye Linyi took the bottle containing three Soul-Ascending Pills and said, "Okay, Dean Yan."

Ye Linyi then left Yan Shaozhe's office and walked towards the freshman teaching building.

Not long after Ye Linyi left, another person entered Yan Shaozhe's office.

This person was none other than Du Weilun, the Dean of Students, who respectfully said, "Dean Yan, you expelled Zhou Yi and even destroyed her martial spirit. Aren't you afraid that her husband, Fan Yu, will come after you?"

Yan Shaozhe stood up, looked out the window, and said slowly, "Heh, let him come and cause me trouble."

Yan Shaozhe already looked down on the use of soul tools. If Fan Yu dared to confront him, Yan Shaozhe would definitely tell him why the flowers were so red.

As Ye Linyi stepped out of the teachers' building, the midday sun shone on his shoulders, gilding his tall figure with a golden edge.

As soon as he stepped down the steps, he saw Zhang Lexuan standing under the sycamore tree, her eyes searching anxiously. Upon seeing him, she rushed over to greet him.

"Xiao Yi!" Her voice was filled with worry as she reached out to check his injuries. "Did Zhou Yi hurt you? I just heard that you had a conflict with her, I..." Her words trailed off as her fingertips paused in mid-air, her gaze falling on Ye Linyi's composed face.

Ye Linyi smiled slightly, raised his hand and gently grasped Zhang Lexuan's wrist, pulling her closer. His voice carried a hint of teasing relaxation: "No, I won."

He paused, a hint of barely perceptible smugness flashing in his eyes, "And, I also received three Soul Ascension Pills as compensation."

He even shook the jade bottle in his hand, which glowed with a blue light. The bottle reflected the sunlight, as if it held infinite possibilities.

Zhang Lexuan said in surprise, "Xiao Yi, you're not lying to me, are you? How could a Soul Venerable like you possibly defeat a Soul Emperor?"

Ye Linyi smiled and said, "Nothing is impossible."

Zhang Lexuan nodded, then looked nervously at Ye Linyi and asked, "How did Dean Yan handle this matter concerning you and Zhou Yi?"

Ye Linyi said, "Her martial spirit was abolished, and she was also expelled."

Upon hearing this result, Zhang Lexuan said without any pity, "If it weren't for the fact that her husband Fan Yu is an eighth-level Soul Master, she should have been expelled long ago. She has done too many things that have harmed Shrek Academy."

Ye Linyi simply nodded.

Zhang Lexuan said, "Come on, I'll take you to eat."

Ye Linyi said, "Okay."

"Then let go of my hand first," Zhang Lexuan said, her face slightly flushed, pointing to the hand that Ye Linyi was holding tightly.

Ye Linyi relaxed and said, "Let's go then, Sister Lexuan."

Zhang Lexuan nodded.
