Chapter 70: Beating Up the Teacher on the First Day. Expelled by the End of the Day?
Sure enough, another teacher had been brutally defeated.
Seeing this scene, all the students sighed in unison.
Strangely, none of them felt surprised.
"Um… today, you can all spar freely. The teacher isn't feeling very well and needs to see a doctor."
With ice pressed against her swollen face, Jiang Xiaoyu hurriedly threw out a sentence and ran off without looking back.
No matter how one looked at it, her retreating figure was utterly miserable.
Sigh.
The other students didn't even dare look at Zhu Zhuqing again, afraid they might attract her attention.
It couldn't be helped. She was simply too ruthless.
She was clearly just a young girl, yet on her very first day of enrollment, she had already taken down two teachers.
They had heard of geniuses who looked ordinary but rose suddenly to fame.
They had heard of geniuses who entered school flamboyantly and were unmatched among their peers.
But a genius who appeared cold and quiet on the surface, struck with terrifying ruthlessness, and directly crushed a teaching instructor dozens of levels above her? That was something they had never heard of.
If Zhu Zhuqing had beaten fellow students, they might have found it easier to accept.
But she didn't even bother fighting students. She specifically targeted the teachers.
And the key point was that she defeated every single one.
What did that make these so-called geniuses look like?
In the soul arena, students paired up and began sparring.
The battles were intense, yet the atmosphere carried a strange silence.
Zhu Zhuqing frowned slightly.
The young girl could not understand why none of them showed any desire to improve. Not a single person came to challenge her.
Taking initiative was the only way to grow stronger.
Suddenly, she remembered some information about talented students that Glowing Feather Douluo had mentioned earlier on the road. She turned to look at Xie Yue, who had spoken to her before.
"I heard you have a martial soul fusion skill."
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Xie Yue and Hu Liena and said seriously,
"I'd like to see it."
She was curious. Compared with her Hell White Tiger, which martial soul fusion skill was stronger?
"This…"
Xie Yue and Hu Liena stiffened instantly, feeling immense pressure.
At the same level, after using their martial soul fusion skill, they feared no one. The two of them could easily fight eight or nine opponents at once.
But the person in front of them…
They were honestly a little afraid.
Their martial soul fusion skill, Charm Demon, was indeed powerful. Even with only Soul Ancestor cultivation, they could defeat weaker Soul Emperors.
But the problem was—
Sa De, a Soul Saint, had been knocked out with a single punch.
Jiang Xiaoyu, a Soul Emperor, had been defeated without even using her soul rings.
The two of them were merely Soul Ancestors.
How were they supposed to fight her?
"Th-this…"
Xie Yue stammered awkwardly.
"I heard you are the highest level in this class."
Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Xie Yue, then at Hu Liena.
"And you are the Pope's personal disciple."
"Don't you even have the courage to fight for yourselves, for your teacher, and for Spirit Hall?"
The moment those words came out, the two of them had no way to retreat.
"If you want to fight, then we'll fight!"
Hu Liena stepped forward, battle intent blazing in her eyes.
She should be the most dazzling female student in Spirit Hall Academy.
"Then… excuse us!"
Xie Yue took a deep breath and walked to his sister's side.
The two exchanged a glance and simultaneously released their martial souls.
Moon Blades and Charming Fox.
Two yellow and two purple soul rings each began rotating beneath their feet.
As Hu Liena's four soul rings flashed in succession, Xie Yue suddenly rushed into her body.
Their soul power fused, and a brilliant light burst forth.
Red light flickered as the two merged into one figure.
Long red hair drifted behind a person holding two blades—neither male nor female.
A red mist slowly rose, spreading in all directions.
"Interesting."
A trace of curiosity flashed through Zhu Zhuqing's eyes.
She could clearly feel her senses being affected. Her soul power was suppressed, becoming less active, and her movements felt sluggish.
Clearly, this was a control-type martial soul fusion skill.
"Go!"
Charm Demon flicked both hands, sending the two Moon Blades flying.
Silver light crossed through the air, descending precisely from two different directions.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes flickered.
Soul power covered her fists as she punched toward the Moon Blades, slicing through the mist.
Bang!
The fierce Moon Blades were instantly knocked flying.
Charm Demon clenched the air, and the blades returned to their hands.
"Witness it. Full Moon!"
The red mist around Charm Demon surged wildly as crimson light flashed in their eyes.
They unleashed their ultimate move.
Their body spun like a hurricane and vanished from its spot in the next instant.
Whoosh!
A rapidly spinning massive disc appeared before Zhu Zhuqing.
The Moon Blades became like a meat grinder as they charged toward her, an attack seemingly capable of shredding everything.
Facing the terrifying blade wind head-on, even Zhu Zhuqing felt a stinging sensation.
The crimson mist seemed capable of eroding her spirit.
She did not underestimate it and decisively activated her Dark Gold Left Hand.
"Gravity Force Pressure!"
Golden light flashed.
A terrifying pressure instantly descended upon Charm Demon.
The spinning Full Moon wavered slightly, clearly affected.
Instead of retreating, Zhu Zhuqing advanced.
With a step of her foot, her figure moved like a ghost as she closed the distance.
Her eyes were calm as her left fist tightened.
"Take this punch."
She shouted softly and thrust her left fist forward.
Dark-gold light transformed into a terrifying punch force that slammed directly toward the spinning disc.
The Moon Blades collided with her fist first.
Sparks exploded brilliantly.
Crack!
A shattering sound rang out.
Both Moon Blades broke apart from the tips, fragmenting piece by piece and scattering across the ground.
"What?!"
Charm Demon's eyes widened in disbelief.
Their Moon Blades had actually been shattered by a single punch.
The next moment, the red mist surged wildly.
It wrapped around Charm Demon completely, forming something like a red meteor in an attempt to neutralize the incoming punch.
However—
Boom!
The punch landed.
The sound echoed.
Charm Demon collapsed.
"Pfft!"
Xie Yue and Hu Liena were thrown out from the light, coughing up blood as they were blasted more than ten meters away before crashing heavily onto the ground.
The entire arena fell into dead silence.
Zhu Zhuqing withdrew her left hand, a slight ripple appearing on her usually cold expression.
Recalling the terrifying power of the Full Moon just now, as well as the pervasive red mist,
She sighed softly.
"As expected of the continent's strongest academy, Spirit Hall Academy. Your strength is truly impressive."
She meant it sincerely.
If she had never encountered Bai Lu back then and relied only on her own efforts, even if she struggled her entire life, she could never have matched Xie Yue and Hu Liena.
Without Bai Lu guarding her spiritual sea, even if her body were strong, she would still have been affected by Charm Demon's "domain."
However, when everyone else heard those words, they interpreted them differently.
Strong?
Then why did they get blown apart by a single punch?
Wasn't that just sarcasm?
Everyone was angry, yet none dared speak.
After all, in soul battles, weakness was the original sin.
Even the teachers could not defeat Zhu Zhuqing. What could they, a group of students who had not even graduated, possibly do?
"Ugh…"
Xie Yue struggled to his feet and helped the equally battered Hu Liena up.
Looking at Zhu Zhuqing, his eyes were filled with complicated emotions: shock, respect, and a trace of unwillingness.
He spoke with difficulty.
"You… are truly strong."
"We… lost."
Hu Liena's face was full of unwillingness.
Just who exactly was this woman?
"You're strong as well. Charm Demon is even stronger than most Hell White Tigers."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
She said nothing more and turned to leave the soul arena.
Sunlight fell on her back, stretching a long shadow across the ground.
Xie Yue stared at that figure for a long time without speaking.
…
After School
Qin Shan, the Ninth Elder of Spirit Hall and Vice Principal of the academy, personally escorted Zhu Zhuqing to the Douluo Hall.
Coincidentally, the Grand Worship Qian Daoliu and the Fifth Worship Glowing Feather Douluo were both present.
"Qin Shan, what is this about?"
Qian Daoliu looked at the two of them with some surprise.
"Grand Worship, your student is simply too strong."
Qin Shan smiled bitterly.
"I don't think Spirit Hall Academy is suitable for her."
"Why wouldn't it be suitable?"
Qian Daoliu and Glowing Feather Douluo exchanged glances, puzzled.
They didn't expect Zhu Zhuqing to learn much anyway. She only needed to experience the academy atmosphere and get some exposure.
How could such a small matter become unsuitable?
They could simply treat her as if she weren't there.
"This… it really isn't suitable."
Qin Shan's bitter smile deepened.
"Within one day, Zhu Zhuqing injured two teachers. One of them was seriously wounded."
"You seriously injured a teacher on your first day of school?"
Qian Daoliu and Glowing Feather Douluo looked at Zhu Zhuqing in surprise.
In their impression, she was not the type to disrespect her teachers.
It seemed unlikely she would strike so ruthlessly.
"He told me to hit him."
Zhu Zhuqing refused to take the blame.
Before attacking, she had clearly confirmed it.
That teacher insisted she strike with full strength.
Three times.
Who could have expected he wouldn't even survive the first hit?
"Oh. That makes sense."
Qian Daoliu suddenly understood.
He knew his judgment of people was correct.
A well-behaved girl like Zhu Zhuqing would never cause trouble for no reason.
Qin Shan explained the entire situation in detail before concluding with a bitter smile.
"That's what happened. Under these circumstances, it's really inconvenient for Zhu Zhuqing to continue attending the academy."
"In that case, you won't be required to attend academy classes anymore."
Qian Daoliu nodded and thought for a moment before saying,
"You may go anywhere in the academy if you wish. If you don't want to go, stay in the courtyard to train or consult other elders. Anywhere in Spirit City is open to you."
He paused before adding,
"However, if you plan to travel far, remember to report to us first."
"Understood, teacher."
Zhu Zhuqing bowed slightly.
Not wanting the trip to be wasted, she spoke again.
"Teacher, could I trouble you to perform the pressure test once more?"
"…"
Faced with the girl's expectant gaze, Qian Daoliu remained silent for a moment before nodding slightly.
"Very well."
