Chapter 37: Class One, Zhou Yi!
"Ah?!" Xiao Xiao's little face instantly turned pale.
What does it feel like to be told by a classmate on the first day of school that your homeroom teacher is a ruthless tyrant?
Xiao Xiao was experiencing it firsthand.
Pain, so much pain!
She felt her future academic life was shrouded in darkness! But then again, having such a handsome classmate might not be so bad, right?
Xiao Xiao couldn't help but glance at Lin Yun.
Hmm, maybe it wasn't so painful after all.
"Alright, since there's nothing else, I'll see you at the start of school!" Lin Yun smiled and bid farewell.
"You haven't told me your name yet!" Xiao Xiao hurriedly asked.
"Lin Yun! Double 'wood' Lin, 'cloud' in the sky!" Lin Yun waved without looking back, leaving Xiao Xiao with a tall and broad silhouette.
A young man should have lofty ambitions, daring to change the world of Douluo!
[Huo Yuhao continues to descend into darkness]
With Elakas intercepted and the Skydream Iceworm perpetually offline, Huo Yuhao, after being bullied by Wang Dong and comparing himself to Lin Yun, had plunged headfirst into a dead end.
The inferiority and cowardice in his heart were ignited by the burning pain from Wang Dong's attacks, transforming into intense anger and resentment.
Elakas' role in Huo Yuhao's life wasn't just about giving him more abilities; it was also about guiding his character. However, after Elakas sacrificed himself to protect Huo Yuhao and the Snow Empress, and after the events at the Valley of Love and Hate, Huo Yuhao's character had taken a dark turn.
What did the Skydream Iceworm, who spent most of its time sleeping, know about guiding someone's character?
To it, all that mattered was that Huo Yuhao grew stronger, enabling it and the Ice Empress to achieve godhood and eternal life.
What kind of personality or emotions Huo Yuhao had?
It didn't care, at most helping Huo Yuhao show off and ensuring he didn't die prematurely.
'As long as I become strong, as strong as that person (Lin Yun), no one will dare to bully me, and I can avenge my mother!'
A seed of darkness was planted.
The next day.
As dawn broke and the sun had yet to rise, a thin morning mist enveloped Shrek Academy. Accompanied by the faint chirping of insects and birds, Lin Yun awoke from his cultivation.
"The concentration of natural energy here at Shrek Academy is almost as dense as the depths of the Star Dou Forest? Is it because of the Golden Tree?" Lin Yun pursed his lips and looked out the window at the Sea God Lake shrouded in morning mist.
Lin Yun had been cultivating at Shrek Academy for two days, and during that time, his cultivation speed was almost on par with that of the Star Dou Forest's core area.
And on Sea God Island, the area closest to the Golden Tree, the cultivation environment might even rival that of the Lake of Life.
No wonder Shrek Academy produced so many powerful individuals. With thousands of years of accumulated experience and the vast resources gathered as the continent's top academy, anyone who wasn't completely hopeless could become a formidable soul master here.
"The Golden Tree... this thing has a connection with my Star Dou Forest!" Lin Yun smiled slightly, got up, and began washing up and dressing.
The source of life on the Douluo Continent should take root in the Lake of Life, the place with the most concentrated life energy. Leaving it at Shrek Academy was a waste!
I need to find a way to deal with that old hag and bring the Golden Tree back!
Since it was the first day of school, many freshmen had risen early. By the time Lin Yun was brushing his teeth, the hallway was already bustling with activity.
For many, being able to attend Shrek Academy was an honor in itself. On the first day of class, no one wanted to be late and leave a bad impression on the teachers.
Meanwhile.
Zhou Yi rose from her soft bed. Her husband, Fan Yu, had already left for the Soul Tool Department, and she was about to begin another teaching session.
After quickly taking care of her personal hygiene, Zhou Yi hastily ate a little food and then put on her old hag-like mask, concealing her delicate and beautiful face.
Zhou Yi was excited.
As a homeroom teacher, she had access to all the information about her new students in advance. One name in particular had been lingering in her mind, even keeping her up at night.
Lin Yun, martial soul: Golden Dragon, possessor of the ultimate strength attribute, level 37 Soul Elder.
Age: Twelve!
"Such a genius should be taught by me to truly polish him into a gem!" Zhou Yi's face showed unconcealed excitement. With Lin Yun in her class, she would become the star of this year's freshmen—no, the star of all Shrek Academy's outer academy teachers!
However...
Geniuses tend to be arrogant, and her students didn't need arrogance. What she excelled at was crushing that arrogance!
Zhou Yi was confident that under her guidance, Lin Yun would become as docile as a kitten!
Meanwhile, Lin Yun, who was eating, suddenly shivered violently, almost dropping the piece of meat he was holding.
"Damn it, which peasant is plotting against me?" Lin Yun scratched his arm, feeling a chill as goosebumps covered his skin.
After cautiously looking around, Lin Yun didn't notice anything unusual. Instead, he saw many girls staring at him with infatuated expressions, which ruined his appetite. He quickly finished his meal and left the cafeteria.
"Ah, Lin Yun!"
As soon as he stepped out of the cafeteria, Lin Yun heard a familiar soft voice.
It was Xiao Xiao.
"Oh, Xiao Xiao! Have you eaten yet?" Lin Yun waved at Xiao Xiao, delivering a classic straight-guy greeting.
Of course, Xiao Xiao didn't find Lin Yun's greeting awkward. As the saying goes, "love is blind." In Xiao Xiao's eyes, even if Lin Yun were picking his toes, he'd still be handsome.
"Y-yes, I've eaten! Let's go to class together!" Xiao Xiao trotted over to Lin Yun, her small hands clutching her skirt as she sneakily glanced at his profile.
His golden eyes shone even brighter in the morning sunlight, leaving Xiao Xiao utterly mesmerized.
"So handsome!" Xiao Xiao couldn't help but whisper.
Lin Yun turned his head and grinned. "Not bad, Xiao Xiao. You have good taste. I approve!"
Caught off guard, the little girl covered her mouth, her face steaming with embarrassment.
'Heh, just a little girl!' Lin Yun smirked, revealing a dragon king's smile, and then leisurely headed toward the classroom building.
Xiao Xiao quietly followed him, her gaze occasionally darting toward Lin Yun, filled with a mix of shyness and admiration.
It had to be said, her infatuation with his looks had her completely captivated!
The first-year classroom building was easy to find. Shrek Academy's buildings and uniforms were color-coded based on soul ring colors.
White for first year, yellow for second and third years, purple for fourth and fifth years, black for sixth year, and red for the inner academy.
With nearly a thousand freshmen each year, even though only a third would remain after the freshman assessment, the first-year building was still the largest. Lin Yun easily found the location of Class One, Grade One in the freshman building.
