Chapter 263: A Beatdown from an Alternate-World Mother; Xiao Wu Furious at Old Hag Zhou Yi
When asked up to this point, Wang Dong couldn't help but swallow her saliva, a look of growing shock emerging in her eyes.
"Young Master Wu, you couldn't possibly be a Soul King, could you?"
She voiced this unbelievable guess.
A twelve-year-old Soul King—what kind of concept was that? Even geniuses would have to call themselves ordinary in front of Xiao Wu.
"You guessed right, Wang Dong. Let me show you my soul rings."
As soon as Xiao Wu finished speaking, five soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and one black—rose from beneath her feet, swirling around her body.
"You really are a five-ring Soul King! Young Master Wu, you're amazing!"
Wang Dong's eyes glittered like little stars, filled with admiration for Xiao Wu.
After a moment, Wang Dong seemed to realize something and hurriedly said:
"Young Master Wu, I admit defeat! I won't fight you anymore. You're so powerful, there's no way I can win."
She was currently only a rank 22 Soul Grandmaster; fighting a Soul Elder would already be extremely difficult for her, let alone Xiao Wu, whose soul power was already above rank 50. Even if she used every trick up her sleeve, the end result would just be getting thoroughly beaten by Xiao Wu.
"Hee-hee, you agreed to fight. How can you just back out whenever you want, Wang Dong?"
The corners of Xiao Wu's lips curled up into a slight, wicked smile.
The next instant, her figure vanished on the spot, appearing behind Wang Dong in the blink of an eye.
Taking advantage of Wang Dong being off guard, Xiao Wu lightly kicked toward Wang Dong's buttocks, sending her flying through the air.
Wang Dong rubbed her rear, casting a deep, sharp glare back at Xiao Wu, her heart filled with shame and indignation.
"Young Master Wu, you're going too far!
How could you kick me there?!"
"Why not?"
Xiao Wu held her head high with a look of absolute matter-of-factness, not feeling the slightest bit out of line.
"I'll fight you to the end!"
Wang Dong lost her composure. Even though she knew she was outmatched, she raised her long leg and kicked toward Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu easily caught Wang Dong's leg, carefully sizing it up, and gently squeezed Wang Dong's ankle a few times.
'Hmm, this leg really did inherit mine—very long and very soft.'
After making a quick mental assessment, Xiao Wu decided to completely beat Wang Dong into submission today so she could properly mold her character in the future.
"Wang Dong, you're still way too naive."
Xiao Wu's ambiguously worded sentence, paired with her earlier small action, caused Wang Dong to misinterpret her intentions, making Wang Dong even more embarrassed and furious.
"Rogue!"
Wang Dong snapped internally, attempting to pull her leg back, only to find it held firmly in Xiao Wu's grip.
Immediately after, Xiao Wu grabbed Wang Dong, brought her over to a bench near a large tree, and laid her across her own lap.
Her small hand began smacking down on Wang Dong's buttocks.
Smack! Smack! Smack!
At first, Wang Dong struggled fiercely, trying to break free from Xiao Wu's clutches.
However, as time went on and she realized her efforts were useless, Wang Dong simply gave up and went limp.
Xiao Wu, on the other hand, was having a grand time.
So, spanking her own daughter felt this satisfying.
After an unknown amount of time passed, Wang Dong's soft, timid voice reached Xiao Wu's ears.
"Can you stop hitting me? I'm completely convinced... In the dorm, I'll listen to whatever you say from now on."
Hearing Wang Dong's pleading tone, Xiao Wu nodded in satisfaction.
"I won't hit you anymore. From now on, I'm your big sister... big brother."
Xiao Wu almost instinctively said "big sister," but remembering her current identity, she quickly corrected herself.
Once her relationship with Wang Dong grew a bit closer, she would lay her cards on the table and reveal that she was actually a sweet, delicate girl and her mother from another world, to boot.
"I understand," Wang Dong replied, feeling wronged.
After returning to the dormitory, Xiao Wu naturally started chatting up a storm with Wang Dong about all sorts of things.
When night fell, both had their own secret concerns and didn't dare let the other see them bathing, living in the dorm like thieves dodging one another.
The next morning, both of them hurried to the classroom.
Upon entering, Xiao Wu scanned her surroundings, her eyes finally stopping on Xiao Xiao, who had short green hair, and Huo Yuhao, the Child of Destiny.
'Yun Yuan said that once I arrived at Shrek Academy, I should interfere as much as possible with the Child of Destiny's actions and pick up the side characters from The Unrivaled Tang Sect while I'm at it to disrupt the Douluo Continent.'
'That way, the strength of Yun Yuan's true body when he descends will be even greater.'
Xiao Wu firmly kept in mind the task Yun Yuan had entrusted to her.
At that moment, an old woman walked in, her face strictly solemn.
She stood at the podium, her sharp gaze sweeping over the new students below.
"My name is Zhou Yi, and I am your class teacher. Any student who doesn't follow my rules or fails to meet my standards will be expelled from Shrek Academy without exception."
"Now, during these first few days of enrollment, whoever has been in a fight, stand up."
Zhou Yi leaned her hands on the podium as she laid out her rules.
Hearing this, Wang Dong didn't think twice and stood right up.
Seeing Xiao Wu still sitting quietly in her seat, Wang Dong tugged on Xiao Wu's sleeve.
"Young Master Wu, why aren't you standing up?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu curled her lips and said nonchalantly:
"I'm not as honest as you are. Besides, I really dislike this teacher."
Having read The Unrivaled Tang Sect novel, Xiao Wu knew Zhou Yi's true nature inside out.
Out of everyone in Shrek Academy, Zhou Yi was the one she disliked the most, a teacher who relied solely on expelling students to boost her own pass rate.
Ever since she had transformed, she had stayed at Spirit Hall's Spirit Academy.
Every teacher at Spirit Academy was dutiful and responsible, caring for students while helping them make real progress.
Unlike this Zhou Yi, who did nothing but put immense pressure on students while labeling herself a 'monster teacher.'
To Xiao Wu, Zhou Yi was nothing more than a trash teacher, right on par with Yu Xiaogang.
On the podium, seeing that only Wang Dong had stood up, a look of disappointment washed over Zhou Yi's face.
"You disappoint me too much. Shrek's motto is: 'A soul master who doesn't cause trouble isn't a good soul master.'"
"All students who haven't been in a fight, go run twenty laps around the sports field right now. Anyone who gives up halfway will be directly expelled from Shrek Academy. Shrek Academy has no need for useless soul masters like you."
Faced with Zhou Yi's order, none of the students dared to speak up in protest.
Yet, without exception, every student present was deeply dissatisfied with her.
Why should they be punished simply for not causing trouble? What kind of unreasonable teacher is this?
Right at that moment, Xiao Wu spoke up.
"Old hag, on what grounds should students who haven't caused trouble be punished for no reason?"
"I completely disagree with your teaching method. You have no right to teach us!"
Seeing that Xiao Wu dared to talk back to her, Zhou Yi sneered.
"On what grounds? Because I am your class teacher."
"If you still want to stay at Shrek, you will respect my teaching."
"Furthermore, our Shrek Academy only accepts true monsters. If you can't even pass a minor test like this, you aren't qualified to be a student of Shrek!"
