Chapter 10: The Powerful Zhou Yi and the Arrogant Du Weilun.
This method of travel was undoubtedly the slowest. However, Zhou Yi felt quite pleased, unlike her usual decisive and efficient self.
To be honest, this was the first time Zhou Yi had seen someone with such a foul mouth among the freshmen. If she hadn't been entrusted by someone, she would have thrown him out of the academy long ago!
Thus, the scene of the two chasing each other became a beautiful sight in the outer academy, attracting the attention of many soul masters from the Soul Guidance Department to the Martial Soul Department.
Zhou Yi was alright; she was already a notorious monster teacher in the outer academy, and had experienced this kind of gaze countless times.
But Ji Wuchang was pitiful. He hadn't even officially entered the school yet, and he was already completely famous.
Covered in blood, like a little brat, he frantically chased after the old witch of the outer academy.
"Eh? That kid who just appeared?" Huo Yuhao exclaimed in surprise upon noticing Ji Wuchang running past not far away.
Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his ear, and a coquettish voice came from beside him:"So you finally decided to come out? I've been waiting for you for ages!"
"Ouch!" Huo Yuhao cried out in pain, turning around to see Tang Xiaoya's figure.
"Teacher Xiaoya, let go! We just finished physical education class, and I just got back to the dorm and showered before coming out," Huo Yuhao said pitifully.
"What were you muttering about just now?" Tang Ya pressed on relentlessly. However, she did release Huo Yuhao's ear.
"Phew~" Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief as his ear was finally free. Looking in the direction Ji Wuchang had left, he said,
"That child covered in blood appeared once during class, but he was unconscious then."
"A child covered in blood? Maybe a teacher rescued him from some soul beast?" Tang Ya said meaningfully.
"Maybe!" Although he felt there was more to the story, it was none of his business, so he went along with Tang Ya's words.
"Let's go! Let's go sell grilled fish!"
"Okay, Teacher Xiaoya!"
...
"Huo Yuhao, I'm going to kill you!!!"
A blue-haired boy, his face flushed and clothes disheveled, roared to the sky.
Huo Yuhao, who was focused on grilling fish, couldn't help but sneeze. He wondered who was talking about him.
However, seeing the long queue at the grilled fish stall, Huo Yuhao didn't think too much about it and turned his attention back to the fish.
...
"Knock knock!" A sound came from outside the office door, and Du Weilun frowned.
It was so late; he wondered who was looking for him.
"Come in!"
Although he was a little annoyed, as it had kept him from leaving work late, his sense of responsibility allowed him to quickly regain his composure.
Having received permission to enter, the person outside pushed the door open and entered. When Du Weiren recognized him, he realized it was Zhou Yi, whom he had only brushed off that afternoon.
"Tsk, it's that crazy woman again!"
Du Weiren sighed,
"Teacher Zhou Yi, what do you need now?"
This Zhou Yi, all she does is create trouble for him. People constantly complain about this eccentric teacher, forcing him to adjust his work schedule to work overtime every time.
"I'm here to arrange for a child's enrollment," Zhou Yi said domineeringly.
"I've already said, no one is allowed in after the enrollment period. That's Shrek's rule!" Du Weiren slammed his hand on the table, directly refusing.
"I've also said that it was a member of the Shrek Supervisory Committee who requested his admission. Besides, aren't rules meant to be broken? Is this the first day you've met me?" Zhou Yi said nonchalantly.
Zhou Yi's reply infuriated Du Weiren. What was this? Is this a provocation?
If it weren't for Shrek Academy's rules, how could a Soul Douluo tolerate being challenged by a Soul Emperor teacher who isn't even a Soul Saint?
"Then where is the person you mentioned? Still unconscious?"
In the end, Du Weiren had no choice but to compromise. Although Zhou Yi had a peculiar personality, she was undoubtedly a qualified strict teacher.
Plus, with the vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department as her husband, she didn't want to provoke a conflict between the two departments.
What she didn't know was that the Soul Guidance Department and the Martial Soul Department were already at odds because of their official deans.
Although it was just a few people arguing.
"No, he's awake. But he's still behind. Judging by the time, it should be about time!" Zhou Yi said.
As soon as she finished speaking, a figure rushed into the office:
"Report...report!"
The person who was exhausted and panting heavily was of course Ji Wuchang!
He was covered in sweat, melting the blood that had already congealed on his face. It flowed down his cheeks, like sweat dripping from his face.
"This... Ms. Zhou Yi, didn't you take him to take a bath all afternoon? What happened to him covered in blood?" Du Weiren frowned.
What could have happened to such a young child, covered in blood?
"Go wash up in there and clean yourself up. Don't make the office all dirty!" Du Weiren pointed to the washroom in the office and said arrogantly.
There are always some people like this in this world. They have good hearts, but unfortunately, they don't know how to speak. Even when they want to do good, their words sound like those of a bad person.
If it were an ordinary student, their first reaction to being told this would definitely be immense grievance, and their impression of Du Weiren would plummet.
However, Ji Wuchang cannot be viewed as an ordinary person. On Earth, there is a special name for people like Du Weiren; they are collectively called, "tsundere"!
Counting the time between the two lifetimes, Ji Wuchang has accumulated about 30 years of experience. Even if some of those years didn't count as gaining experience, as a new century youth from China, he can still understand some things.
"Alright, alright!"
Completely ignoring Du Weiren's tone, Ji Wuchang was already quite annoyed by his own mess. Now that he could clean himself up, he readily agreed!
In both his lives, he had never been so disheveled for so long!
Even the years in this world when his father forced him to train his body were far better than being covered in the disgusting blood of those evil spirit masters!
Therefore, Ji Wuchang was overjoyed at Du Weiren's suggestion. Ignoring Zhou Yi's expression, he rushed into the washroom. Zhou
Yi, her lips twitching, stared at the direction Ji Wuchang had disappeared, utterly bewildered.
This little brat was too abnormal!
Leaving aside whether his mouth was something that could be developed in less than thirteen years, his reaction to a powerful figure was something no ordinary person could possess!
It seemed... this Ji Wuchang was no ordinary person!
Zhou Yi thought to herself.
Du Weiren was also somewhat taken aback, but didn't pay much attention. He turned to Zhou Yi and asked,
"Tell me about this child's situation?"
"Okay!" Zhou Yi readily told Du Weilun everything she knew.
"Hiss~"
Du Weilun gasped after hearing Zhou Yi's words. Looking at the washroom from which strange songs were emanating, he was somewhat incredulous.
If Ji Wuchang's soul power was only considered above average by Shrek Academy standards, not top-tier, even with his unusual soul ring configuration, it only slightly enhanced his talent, hinting at his good physical attributes.
However, a two-ring Great Soul Master dared to go alone to a gathering place of evil soul masters and, damn it, kill over a hundred of them! This was something he hadn't expected at all!
What was he doing at his age?
He probably wouldn't even dare to kill soul beasts!
Yet Ji Wuchang dared to single-handedly take on a group of evil soul masters who struck fear into the hearts of the continent! The difference was immense!
Not everyone dared to go against evil soul masters! Just like those who graduated from the outer court of Shrek Academy, weren't they unable to withstand the pressure of fighting against evil spirit masters for a lifetime?
A little kid who's not even thirteen years old can do what only inner court disciples can do as a member of the Shrek Supervisory Group!
And most importantly, this kid actually escaped unscathed!
Although he was completely exhausted in terms of physical strength, soul power, and mental energy, it was also because members of the Shrek Supervisory Group protected him. But no matter what, all of this already speaks volumes!
Ji Wuchang's future, if not everything, at least his potential as a member of the Shrek Supervisory Group is limitless!
Isn't such a monstrous talent exactly the kind of monster that Shrek Academy desperately wants?
"I'll arrange for him to enroll immediately, and if possible, transfer him directly to your class," Du Weiren said.
"Okay, I have no objection!" Zhou Yi nodded. Although she still felt resentful towards Ji Wuchang's foul mouth, even she couldn't help but be moved by such a monster.
Du Weiren also nodded. His eyes gleamed, as if he could already see the rising star soaring to the top!
Such a gem, coupled with Zhou Yi's monstrous education, barring any unforeseen circumstances, this would be another pillar of Shrek Academy's future!
"The only thing I'm not entirely sure about right now is his mysterious background," Zhou Yi said, frowning.
"Oh? Is there anything strange about his background? Or is this kid not telling you the truth?" Du Weiren raised an eyebrow.
"He said he's a Soul Master from the countryside who got separated from his parents after encountering an evil Soul Master. But judging from his behavior, it's definitely not true! He's full of lies! (Don't ask me if they had trains back then!)" Zhou Yi said indignantly.
"Well, then I'll send someone to investigate?"
Du Weiren stroked his chin.
"Forget it, that kid will tell when he wants to. He must have his own reasons for not telling now. Let's not do more harm than good." Zhou Yi shook his head.
"That makes sense... well..." Du Weiren wanted to say something more.
"Hello? Anyone there? I need help! I have no clothes to wear! I don't want to run around naked!"
Ji Wuchang's loud voice instantly echoed throughout the entire office building.
"Hey! This brat!"
Zhou Yi and Du Weilun were both speechless.
