Douluo Dalu: Ice Demon Yuhao

Go through the back door?

Thinking of this, Zhou Yi couldn't help but feel disgusted.

It turns out that he is a noble kid who got in through the back door. No wonder he hates strict teachers. Is he afraid of being expelled?

“What is a teacher? A teacher is someone who imparts knowledge and answers questions.” Huo Yuhao’s expression turned serious.

Tian Meng in his mind couldn’t help but listen carefully with great interest. She knew that every time Huo Yuhao showed such an expression, he was about to start talking about profound truths that she couldn’t understand but thought were very profound.

"You only know how to select the best talents for training. What do you think of the other students? Cannon fodder?"

"How difficult is it to cultivate a genius into a genius? It is a real skill to cultivate an ordinary person into a genius."

Huo Yuhao’s speech was not fast, and although he was refuting, he seemed unusually calm.

"What do you know?" Zhou Yi felt a little embarrassed and said coldly, "Although Teacher Zhou is strict, he treats all students with the same standard and never shows partiality."

"She would ruthlessly expel even the most talented students if they made a mistake!"

“That’s even funnier.” Huo Yuhao sneered, “I’m curious about what kind of mistake could make her expel a student at will.”

Zhou Yi calmed down and said, "Last year, when Teacher Zhou first took over as the head teacher of Grade 3 Class 1, in the first class, she asked all the students to run 200 laps around the playground."

"Those students are already at the second and third ring level. These two hundred laps are no problem for them."

"However, there was a very talented boy who deliberately ran five fewer laps. Teacher Zhou immediately expelled him from the academy."

Zhou Yi narrowed her eyes and looked at Huo Yuhao: "Do you think what Teacher Zhou did was wrong?"

"Indeed, she left a deep impression on the students through her iron-blooded methods, but did the students really learn anything from it?"

With Zhou Yi's stunned gaze, Huo Yuhao continued, "Teacher, you were also twelve or thirteen years old. You should know the rebelliousness that is expected at this age, especially among teenagers."

"Why did that boy run five laps less? Maybe he was just naughty and wanted to be lazy, but he was expelled from school because of that."

"Does this seem appropriate to you?"

Huo Yuhao showed no fear at all and looked straight into Zhou Yi's eyes.

Zhou Yi whispered, "What's wrong with being sneaky and cunning and suffering the consequences?"

"From then on, no student dared to slack off in her class."

Huo Yuhao said calmly: "They really don't dare to be lazy anymore, but do they really realize that being lazy is wrong?"

"No, it wasn't. None of them realized it, including the student who was expelled."

Zhou Yi was stunned.

"He won't realize that being lazy is his own fault. He will only blame himself for being caught by the teacher and will only transfer the regret of being expelled to the teacher and the college."

"Other students will not realize the mistake of being lazy. They dare not be lazy anymore, but they are just afraid of the teacher and afraid of being expelled from school."

"Such a teaching method that only treats the symptoms but not the root cause cannot be called strict, but rather harsh."

Zhou Yi was somewhat convinced by Huo Yuhao's words, but she refused to admit that her teaching philosophy was wrong: "Humph, there are so many students who drop out of Shrek Academy every year. It's worth killing a chicken to scare the monkeys!"

Huo Yuhao said seriously: “Don’t underestimate this little bit of negative emotion.”

"To Shrek Academy, it was indeed just a dispensable student dropping out. However, it planted a seed in the hearts of all the students."

"Whenever they think of Shrek Academy, I'm afraid they won't think of the former No. 1 academy on the continent, but the strict teacher Zhou, right?"

"The student who was expelled could have had an extraordinary life and realized his own value, but this insignificant mistake changed his life."

"What do teenagers know about right and wrong? Isn't it your responsibility as teachers to establish correct values ​​for them?"

"What if he can't bear the blow and becomes depressed and never recovers? Or, to put it in an even more extreme way..."

Huo Yuhao’s face showed a terrifying calmness, and his tone was a little scary, but full of terrifying rationality.

"If he degenerates into an evil spirit master because of this incident, how much responsibility do you think Mr. Zhou should bear?"

"Then it's not just a matter of a few lives."

Zhou Yi's heart trembled. As a Soul Emperor-level expert, she was actually frightened and took half a step back.

Evil Soul Master...

A synonym for evil.

Their appearance is always accompanied by blood and death.

Zhou Yi didn't dare to think about the consequences, but just kept repeating it in her mind.

Impossible, impossible...

She quickly recovered and asked with a cold look in her eyes, "You are exaggerating. As a teacher, if I am not so strict, how can I control these arrogant students?"

Huo Yuhao said calmly: "Severity is never a goal, but a means."

“To be strict just for the sake of being strict is putting the cart before the horse.”

“Is it possible to achieve sufficient results without being so strict?”

"Huh?" Zhou Yi was stunned and looked at Huo Yuhao expectantly.

Unconsciously, her impression of Huo Yuhao had changed.

She had a hunch that the boy in front of her would tell him a different answer.

Chapter 22: Expected Zhou Yi

"I'm from the Xingluo Empire. I think no matter how strict the Shrek Academy is, it won't be better than the Xingluo Empire's army, right?"

Huo Yuhao glanced at Zhou Yi and prepared to start his long speech.

Zhou Yi nodded and did not deny it.

The severity of the military is definitely much greater than that of Shrek Academy.

"The army of the Xingluo Empire has always followed military orders. This is the consistent leadership style of Duke Baihu, and it has been the same for thousands of years. Military orders are supreme, and anyone who dares to disobey will be punished by military law. Duke Baihu is impartial and fair, so the army has strict discipline."

"However, even such a well-disciplined army was almost defeated in the war with the Sun-Moon Empire's army."

"Because they don't know where the army's combat effectiveness comes from."

Huo Yuhao paused, his calm tone quite serious.

"The combat effectiveness of the army comes from its degree of organization."

"High-level spirit masters cannot participate in wars. The composition of the army is complex, with low- and middle-level spirit masters of varying levels, and even civilians. The strength and potential of individuals have been tapped to the limit, and the generals are only concerned with formulating tactics and issuing orders."

"Blindly issuing orders has indeed made the army's discipline strict, but it is only strong on the outside but weak on the inside. The soldiers at the bottom are full of resentment and are suffering terribly."

"Because the people above never cared about them. In their eyes, these soldiers were just tools, numbers, and consumables. They didn't need to know how to fight, they just needed to obey and complete the mission."

"Such an army, even if it wins battle after battle, is nothing more than a group of well-trained bandits."

Huo Yuhao paused again, his tone no longer so serious, but became a little excited.

"However, the Xingluo Army is different now. Soldiers are no longer just tools to carry out missions. They already know why they are fighting and why they are fighting."

"They know that they are not tools in the hands of their generals, but each of them is a hero fighting the enemy."

"They are fighting for themselves, for their families, and for their motherland!"

"They are not afraid of fighting, and they don't avoid fighting. This is the kind of army that may seem to be no different in strength than a few years ago, but their spirit is completely different."

"This is the ideological construction of the army, the source of the army's organization, and the guarantee of the army's combat effectiveness!"

"Now they can beat the Sun-Moon Empire back to its old home!"

The corners of Huo Yuhao's mouth curved up slightly, but soon returned to being cold again.

“By the same token, students are not tools, not numbers…”

"They are human beings, living people!"

He looked at Zhou Yi coldly, his tone was firm, and his glowing blue eyes made her slightly distracted.

"If you understand this principle, don't you know how to treat students?"

Zhou Yi fell into a long silence, his old face trying to remain calm to hide the trembling in his heart.

The teaching philosophy she had adhered to for many years was shaken at this moment.

Zhou Yi is a stubborn person. No matter how her students plead, how the college warns her, or how her husband persuades her, she always insists on her strict teaching.

But at this moment, she really began to doubt whether she was really wrong.

Convinced by one of my future students.

After a long silence, Zhou Yi said, "I will tell Teacher Zhou about this."

Huo Yuhao was still deep in thought.

His remarks just now sounded reasonable, but in fact, there were two fatal weaknesses, which he tried not to mention. If these two weaknesses were revealed, all his logic would instantly fall apart and become vulnerable.

Military management requires attention to all aspects. The fact that the Xingluo Empire is now able to force the Sun-Moon Empire to cease fire at the border is not just based on faith.

He was still worried about how he would respond if the old woman pointed it out, but then he saw her simply raise her hands in surrender, and he couldn't help feeling relieved.

Haha, these natives are so easy to fool.

Zhou Yi looked into Huo Yuhao's eyes carefully and sighed, "I like your idea very much. I hope you can study hard in Teacher Zhou's class and don't become the first student to be expelled."

She sensed the other party's soul power again and found that it was indeed only a little over level ten.

Such a student, no matter how much she likes him, will not be able to pass other assessments of the college.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao curled up his lips and revealed a slightly excited grin.

"Teacher Zhou Yi, are you threatening me?"

When Zhou Yi heard Huo Yuhao calling out her name, Tong Kong shrank back in surprise, "Good boy! When did you recognize me?"

“I recognized it from the beginning.”

"That's incredible. I thought I disguised myself well. Have you seen me before?"

"No, it's written on the sign on your chest."

"Ah? Oh..."

Zhou Yi couldn't help but laugh.
