As the first morning light shone, Lin Yun woke up from his sleep. After giving the soft and fragrant little girl in his arms a good rub, he got up to wash up.
The sleepy Ice Emperor had returned to her small scorpion form, only a few inches long, and fluttered onto Lin Yun's shoulder.
While Lin Yun was brushing his teeth, Ice Emperor's emerald green tail, which swayed with her breathing, suddenly paused. Her body tilted slightly as if she was receiving some information.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yun glanced at Ice Emperor and casually asked.
Ice Emperor remained silent for a moment before answering respectfully: "Lord, the human you asked the Myriad Demon King to find has been located. He has already been brought to Shrek City."
"Oh? Already found?" Lin Yun's eyes lit up, and he eagerly rubbed his hands together.
"Good, good, good! It's been nearly a week, and we've finally found this idiot. Tell the Myriad Demon King to treat him well—good food, good drinks. I'll meet him myself when I have time!"
"Yes!"
Yesterday, he had just beaten up the "Bootlicking Turtle," and now, with this good news in the morning, Lin Yun was in an even better mood.
He was even humming as he walked.
"Ji ji ji ji ~ Bai bai bai bai bai..."
When Lin Yun's signature golden hair appeared in front of Class One's students, the originally noisy classroom suddenly fell silent.
Three seconds later, everyone simultaneously erupted into enthusiastic applause.
If Lin Yun were an opponent, he would be absolutely despair-inducing. But as a classmate? That was something to be proud of!
Now, when the students of Class One walked through the Outer Court, they all held their heads high.
No need to ask why—just look at their class! Did your class have someone as powerful as Boss Lin?
Lin Yun was briefly startled by the sudden applause. After glancing around with a confused expression, he casually returned to his "King's Throne."
"You're completely famous now!" Xiao Xiao whispered with a chuckle.
However, her gaze carried a hint of grievance. She had also gone to watch Lin Yun's battle with Xu Sanshi last night. But after the fight ended, when she wanted to find Lin Yun, she couldn't even squeeze through the crowd.
She could only watch helplessly as Lin Yun was surrounded and whisked away by a group of "seductive btches."*
1.5-meter-tall struggles! (Sadness)
"It's just some meaningless fame, not worth mentioning." Lin Yun waved his hand indifferently.
All he did was beat up a non-cheating native Bootlicking Turtle. How was that any different from fighting a kid? The real major plans were just beginning.
Xiao Xiao pouted in exasperation.
Meaningless fame?
This was the guy who had beaten up the class instructor, crushed a Grade Six genius senior, and had already earned the title of "Strongest Freshman King" within half a month of enrolling.
And he called it meaningless?
Xiao Xiao's cute little head almost overloaded, feeling like her CPU was about to fry.
But… why does this kind of confidence make him even more attractive?
She blinked, her eyes full of admiration as she gazed at Lin Yun's side profile under the morning sun.
It wasn't just Xiao Xiao—the other girls in Class One were the same. Their fiery gazes looked like they wanted to pounce on Lin Yun right away.
Meanwhile, a certain big goose was being completely ignored.
Beibei clenched his teeth.
I'm handsome too! Why is no one looking at me? Why are they all looking at Lin Yun?
But then, he thought about Lin Yun's battle record and could only lower his head, suppressing his little bit of pride.
No! I—this Young Master—am a twin martial soul genius! There's no way I'll lose to that annoying guy!
Beibei clenched his small fists and instinctively glanced at Huo Yuhao, who was meditating in the corner of the classroom.
He was well aware of how hardworking his roommate was.
If I trained as hard as he did, I'd probably be a Soul Elder by now.
"I have to keep pushing myself. Time to grind!"
Lin Yun was completely unaware that a certain lazy dog had been inspired to take cultivation seriously because of him.
At this moment, he was resting his chin on his hand, scheming his "evil plan"—a plan that would drag a large portion of Shrek Academy's top experts into it!
Kekekekeke…
Zhou Yi Arrives
Tap, tap, tap…
A somewhat familiar set of footsteps echoed. Soon, Zhou Yi walked into the classroom.
This was her second time stepping into Class One.
The first time, she had been punched out by Lin Yun as soon as she entered.
This time, she was obviously more cautious. She didn't immediately put on an arrogant expression, but when her gaze swept over Lin Yun, there was still resentment and a faint trace of fear in her eyes.
The Dragon's Might was no joke—especially for someone like Zhou Yi, who had been brutally crushed by Lin Yun.
Facing Lin Yun again, the Dragon's Might triggered her instinctive fear of the King's Majesty.
This was even more effective than Mu En's Sovereign's Dominion!
If Lin Yun walked around in front of Zhou Yi a few more times, his Dragon's Might might even brainwash this old hag into becoming his foot-washing maid.
For the first time, Zhou Yi had no idea how to start teaching.
Her usual teaching method was to establish dominance first, then gradually mold students by kicking out the ones she didn't like and keeping the obedient ones.
But now, with Lin Yun as an unshakable iron spike in the class, if she tried to step on them as usual, she'd definitely end up getting skewered.
And if she didn't use her old methods… she had no idea how to teach.
In the end, she had no choice but to follow the traditional teaching methods she once looked down on—morning theory classes, afternoon physical training.
And even then, she didn't dare pull any tricks.
Using the teaching style she once scorned made Zhou Yi feel incredibly stifled. By the end of the day, she practically fled the classroom with a dark expression.
Watching her leave in defeat, Lin Yun let out a mocking chuckle.
"We're just getting started, old hag. You've got a lot more suffering ahead!"
A Mysterious Meeting
After dinner, instead of returning to his dorm, Lin Yun left Shrek Academy through the east gate, then entered Shrek City through the south gate.
Following Ice Emperor's guidance, he navigated through the city's alleys, eventually arriving at a small, nondescript house.
Inside, the Myriad Demon King was already waiting.
As soon as Lin Yun entered, the Myriad Demon King dropped to one knee and greeted him:
"Lord!"
Ice Emperor also reverted to her little girl form and knelt beside him.
"Rise." Lin Yun smiled slightly, then turned his gaze toward a youth who looked utterly carefree.
His brows furrowed slightly.
Something's off.
He had thought his looks were unmatched on this continent…
But this ordinary, soulpower-less guy was somehow on par with him in appearance?!
Lin Yun narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice:
"You… are Qing Ye?"
The young man grinned lazily, got up from his chair, and cupped his fists.
"That's right! That's me!"
