Chapter 22 Titled Douluo? Black-stockinged mature woman? Is this Zhou Yi?
The images flowed across the sky.
A night of intensive training left Huo Yuhao feeling refreshed and invigorated.
After a quick wash, he hurried briskly towards the cafeteria.
At this moment, his heart was filled with unprecedented anticipation.
Whether it was the delicious food he had never dared to dream of before, or the upcoming courses at Shrek Academy, everything filled him with hope for the future.
After quickly finishing a hearty and energizing breakfast, Huo Yuhao arrived at the freshman teaching building and found the classroom of Class 1.
The classroom was spacious and bright, and quite a few students had already arrived.
Huo Yuhao glanced around and found a seat by the window.
More and more students came in one after another.
[Among them, Wang Dong, whom Huo Yuhao had met before, also came.]
[And Xiao Xiao, she was also curiously looking around.]
...
Beyond the sky, a dark world.
"Look, look!"
Huo Yuhao, pointing at the screen, excitedly said to Wang Dong beside him:
"Looks like we're destined to meet again, no matter which world we're in! We're in the same class again!"
"Tch, who's destined to be with you?"
Although Wang Dong spoke arrogantly, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.
"And Xiao Xiao is here too. It seems that the trajectory of this parallel world is similar in general."
Other Soul Masters around also noticed this, and many freshmen found familiar classmates' faces in the picture, feeling a sense of warmth.
But most of the attention was focused on the homeroom teacher who was about to appear.
"I wonder what Teacher Zhou Yi was like in that world?"
People started discussing it:
"Could it be that same fierce old woman? Or some more terrifying, twisted demon?"
"I don't know, let's see what happens next..."
Just as everyone was speculating, the scene in the sky changed.
...
Within the sky.
As the school bell rang, the classroom fell silent.
["Da, da, da..."]
A rhythmic click of high heels echoed across the floor, followed by a graceful figure entering the classroom.
The students, who had been whispering amongst themselves, suddenly widened their eyes, with many of the boys completely stunned.
The woman who walked in wasn't a hideous old woman, but a tall, stunningly beautiful woman!
She wore her hair in a neat high ponytail, with a few strands falling beside her ears, adding a touch of femininity.
The elegant black-rimmed glasses she wore did not obscure her beauty; instead, they added a touch of sophistication and maturity.
A well-tailored white, form-fitting uniform top perfectly accentuated her stunning figure.
She wore a black, form-fitting mini-skirt paired with black stockings, which perfectly showcased her long, straight, and beautiful legs.
[This is a classic, mature, and charming older woman!]
Although most of the children in the class are only eleven or twelve years old, a time when they are still quite naive, everyone has a love for beauty. Who wouldn't feel a fondness for such a beautiful older sister teacher?
The beautiful teacher walked up to the podium, adjusted her glasses, and a gentle smile appeared on her lips. Her voice was as soft and gentle as a spring breeze.
"Hello everyone."
...
The dark world instantly erupted in chaos!
"Holy crap?!?!"
"This is Zhou Yi?! You're telling me this is that perverted old woman, Zhou Yi?!"
Countless students and teachers who had seen Zhou Yi in person were rubbing their eyes in disbelief, some even pinching themselves hard to confirm if they were dreaming.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
A freshman in Zhou Yi's class suddenly cried out in despair, "Our teacher Zhou Yi looks like a witch! Who is this beautiful woman?!"
"She's so beautiful...she's practically a goddess!"
The Soul Guidance Department.
Fan Yu stared blankly at the radiant woman in the sky, not even noticing the carving knife in his hand fall to the ground with a "clatter".
"This...is indeed Zhou Yi..."
As a husband, Fan Yu naturally recognized his wife at a glance.
He knew that Zhou Yi was not actually ugly; she had deliberately made herself look like an old woman in order to establish her authority in front of the students.
but...
Fan Yu stared intently at the "Zhou Yi" in the picture, a strong sense of unfamiliarity welling up in her heart.
In that world, Zhou Yi not only didn't try to look ugly, but instead paid even more attention to skincare and dressing up.
More importantly, it's about temperament!
Zhou Yi, from the underworld, is known for her strictness, demanding nature, and pursuit of limits. Her brows always carry a fierce and gloomy aura, making people afraid to approach her.
But Zhou Yi in the white world has fair and radiant skin, and her eyes are full of confidence and composure.
That kind of elegance and gentleness that emanates from within is something that Zhou Yi in the underworld completely lacks!
"So...she can be this beautiful..." Fan Yu murmured to herself, feeling a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of deep emotion or reflection).
...
The aerial view continues.
[Zhou Yi, standing on the podium, smiled as she surveyed the entire audience. Her eyes held no sharpness, only encouragement and care.]
"First, let me introduce myself. My name is Zhou Yi, and I'm your class advisor for Class 1 of the freshmen program."
Zhou Yi picked up the chalk and wrote two neat characters on the blackboard. Then she turned around, still wearing that warm, welcoming smile.
"As for my cultivation level..."
She gently raised her right hand. Unlike the suffocating, terrifying pressure that emanated from the Black World, nine spirit rings slowly rose from beneath her feet, like ripples on water.
[Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red! (When Zhou Yi became a Title Douluo, Bai Xuanzi's soul spirit system had not yet been developed)]
"Currently, he is a level 92 Control-type Title Douluo."
Zhou Yi spoke casually, as if she were talking about a trivial matter.
She quickly withdrew her spirit rings and aura, without putting too much pressure on the children, like a gentle older sister showing off her little toys.
["Wow--"]
A gasp of surprise erupted in the classroom.
Seeing the children's adoring eyes, Zhou Yi's smile deepened.
She said with a smile:
At Shrek Academy, sheer strength is merely the foundation.
Here, regardless of your talent, the academy is confident in nurturing you into a successful individual.
Zhou Yi's tone suddenly shifted, becoming slightly more serious, but not harsh; rather, it conveyed a solemn expectation.
"However, the academy values your character even more than your strength."
"Shrek Academy's only requirement is that everyone become a kind-hearted, responsible, and helpful child."
Zhou Yi looked at each child with gentle eyes, "Our teaching philosophy is based on 'teaching according to aptitude'."
"If you yearn to become stronger, to stand at the pinnacle of the continent, then the academy will spare no effort to nurture you and help you soar to great heights."
["but..."]
Zhou Yi smiled, her tone becoming more relaxed, "If you don't want to be so tired, don't want to compete for the title of best in the world, and just want to enjoy a peaceful and happy time on campus, or if you just want to be an ordinary Soul Master in the future..."
"It's alright, the academy will respect your choice and do its best to accommodate you."
"As long as you have good character, don't commit crimes, and don't bully the weak, no one here will force you to do things you don't like, and no one will fire you because you're not strong enough."
"Happy learning and healthy growth—that's the original intention of Shrek Academy."
The screen falls.
The entire dark world fell into an eerie silence once again.
"Holy crap?!"
