Chapter 36: Class Assignments

Lin Yun didn't stay to watch what happened afterward. It was nothing more than Huo Yuhao threatening Wang Dong.

This kind of "thirty years east of the river, thirty years west" speech from a weak protagonist in the early stages didn't excite him at all anymore.

However, watching this farce wasn't entirely fruitless for Lin Yun.

Leaving the Skydream Iceworm with Huo Yuhao had been an extremely wise move. Even though Lin Yun had come to Shrek Academy, Tang San's attention remained fixed on Huo Yuhao. The development of events hadn't changed because of his presence.

Before the Golden Dragon King broke through the Divine Prohibition, Tang San hadn't even noticed Lin Yun, let alone imagined there were two Golden Dragon Kings—one real and one fake.

This was a good sign. It meant that as long as Lin Yun didn't target Huo Yuhao or Wang Dong, Tang San would likely remain oblivious to him.

But thinking about it, this made sense.

Tang San had already ascended to the divine realm. Even if he could interfere with the mortal world, the current divine realm wasn't his dictatorship. He couldn't monitor everything happening on the Douluo Continent at all times.

In fact, to learn about events on the Douluo Continent, he might still rely on reports from the two members of the Clear Sky Sect.

With a glaring target like the Child of Fortune nearby, Lin Yun's existence was sufficiently masked.

Otherwise, this game would be impossible to play.

Mu En glanced at Lin Yun's retreating figure and smiled, stroking his beard. He felt this little guy was quite to his liking.

Of course, he also liked Huo Yuhao. Despite his weak strength, his indomitable spirit and refusal to surrender were admirable.

The protagonist's halo was still overpowered!

Even a Limit Douluo couldn't help but view Huo Yuhao through rose-tinted glasses. Truly terrifying!

Whatever happened between Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong after their fight, Lin Yun was now at Shrek Academy's cafeteria. After cultivating all day, he was starving, his stomach practically sticking to his spine.

Just like Tang Wulin, whose appetite skyrocketed after gaining the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, Lin Yun's hunger was equally formidable. Eating accelerated his physical growth. The phrase "eating is a blessing" fit him perfectly—the more he ate, the faster he grew. His innate ability, Dragon's Devour, allowed him to rapidly digest the energy from food.

And unlike that useless Xuan Zi, who ate purely for pleasure, every bite Lin Yun took was converted into vast reserves of bloodline energy.

However…

After filling a large plate with food worth thousands of gold soul coins at Shrek's cafeteria, Lin Yun arrived at the dining area only to remember—Shrek's cafeteria had no tables.

'Bastards! Don't they know standing while eating is bad for the stomach?!' Lin Yun nearly cursed aloud.

He'd genuinely forgotten about Shrek's ridiculous rules.

Grumpily devouring his meal, Lin Yun quickly left the cafeteria. He feared staying another second would make him explode.

After eating, Lin Yun headed to Shrek Academy's central plaza.

It was now packed with people. Most of this year's freshmen had gathered here because the class assignment list had been posted.

To find out which class they were in, students simply needed to locate their names on the bulletin boards.

Naturally, Lin Yun was curious about his own class.

But when he reached the bulletin board, his expression instantly morphed into the "subway/old man/phone.jpg" meme.

Freshman Class 1 Homeroom Teacher: Zhou Yi

The first name listed under her was… Lin Yun!

"Holy shit, why is it this old hag?!" Lin Yun leaned back in tactical retreat, his face turning green.

He didn't want the protagonist's treatment!

At least not in this regard!

In terms of infamy, during the Divine Realm era, there were plenty of notorious figures. Aside from those floating in the divine realm, people like Xuan Zi and Yan Shaozhe were widely mocked.

Among them, Zhou Yi's reputation was undoubtedly top-tier!

(Of course, it was all negative.)

Her training methods—reminiscent of the "Master" Yu Xiaogang's infamous running regimen, life-draining drills, and her habit of expelling students on a whim to artificially inflate promotion rates—were all mind-numbingly stupid.

To make matters worse, she had an eighth-rank soul engineer husband, making her untouchable despite her antics.

And now, Lin Yun had been assigned to Zhou Yi's class!

If he remembered correctly, Tang Ya mentioned in the original story that Zhou Yi had been demoted to teaching freshmen after being bombarded with complaints from fourth-year students and their parents for expelling too many. This was likely only possible because of Fan Yu's influence. Otherwise, she'd have been fired long ago.

"Classmate, do you know our homeroom teacher?"

As Lin Yun pondered whether to teach Zhou Yi a lesson, a soft, melodic voice chimed in his ear.

Lin Yun turned in confusion and saw a petite girl with emerald-green hair tied in a side ponytail, her cheeks slightly flushed as she looked up at him.

Compared to Lin Yun, the girl was downright tiny. Barely reaching 1.6 meters, she seemed fragile next to his towering frame.

"Our homeroom teacher? Are you in Class 1 too?" Lin Yun asked curiously.

Beautiful things naturally made people pause. This little girl was no exception. Lin Yun engaged her purely because of her looks.

It definitely wasn't because he was a lolicon.

"Yes! I'm Xiao Xiao. And you?" Xiao Xiao blinked her large jade-green eyes, too shy to meet his gaze.

She'd spotted Lin Yun in the crowd immediately—his striking golden hair, sculpted features, and piercing eyes were impossible to miss.

And when she overheard him muttering, she couldn't resist approaching!

'Even when cursing, he's so cool! So handsome! He's the one!'

Lin Yun stared blankly at the starstruck girl.

Xiao Xiao?

The third wheel in the trio of twin martial soul users?

Judging by her expression, had his reader-tier handsome face already won her over?

Lin Yun appraised the green-haired girl and nodded. "Yeah, I know her. Zhou Yi—the perverted old hag. Everyone except freshmen knows her reputation."

"Huh? Perverted old hag?!" Xiao Xiao covered her mouth in shock.

"Does that mean our teacher is… really strict?"

Seeing her reaction, a mischievous idea sparked in Lin Yun's mind.

"Yep. 'Perverted old hag' isn't just an exaggeration. If you fail her sadistic training, she'll expel you without hesitation!" Lin Yun leaned in and whispered ominously.

"Even if you're a once-in-a-generation genius!"
