'So this "I owe everything to myself! All thanks to writing the diary," huh? This guy, Huo Yuhao, seems way more interesting than I thought,'
For a moment, this same sarcastic thought popped up in the minds of every woman who had a copy of the diary.
But as if wanting to snap back at their ridicule, what Huo Yuhao wrote next in the diary stunned everyone into silence.
[If things had followed the original storyline, even if I was forced by Tang San's many schemes to become his puppet and lose myself completely, my talent would never have disappeared.]
[Even if I only inherited the divine position of the God of Emotions among the first-level gods in the Divine Realm, I still, thanks to my overwhelming talent, created the ultimate artifact—the Eye of Fate—and forcibly elevated the God of Emotions to the rank of God King.]
[I, the fated child recognized by the will of the Douluo Continent dimension, do I need some soul device beginner's gift pack? Well, cough cough, actually, I do.]
[That way, I can get up to speed making soul devices faster, and I can definitely thrive at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Device Academy too!]
[So, I just want to say: step aside, I'm going to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Device Academy to show off! (Hands on hips)]
'So that's what he meant when he said he'd ascend from a first-level god to a God King in the Divine Realm?'
'No wonder he's the fated child! Meanwhile, look at Tang San—he ascended to the Divine Realm ten thousand years ago, but after all this time, to maintain God King status, he still has to use his wife as a sword sheath. If he loses that "rabbit," he'll drop from a pseudo-God King to just a plain first-level god!'
This thought flashed through all the women with diary copies.
At the same time, Xiao Xiao leaned close to Wang Dong'er's desk and whispered.
"Huo Yuhao has already reached the border of the Sun Moon Empire. We have to leave soon. Although the Sun Moon Royal Soul Device Academy's semester starts a few days later than Shrek Academy's, if we delay, we might be late."
Wang Dong'er nodded calmly."Don't worry, we'll leave Shrek soon."
"We're already here—don't you want to experience the teaching style of the continent's top academy's teachers?"
Xiao Xiao didn't argue because she was curious too.
She'd always heard how amazing Shrek was and wanted to see what a millennium-old academy's excellence looked like.
While they waited, the homeroom teacher of Freshman Class One, Zhou Yi, finally entered the classroom.
Dressed in a human-skin mask made to look like an old woman, her face covered with wrinkles, silver hair pinned up—a vibe that screamed difficult to get along with.
As soon as she appeared, the noisy classroom instantly quieted down. Zhou Yi scanned the room and spoke in a rough voice like a cracked gong.
"I'm Zhou Yi, your homeroom teacher. I don't know how many of you will survive this year with me. But I'm telling you—trash will not pass my assessments. I'm here to train monsters, not fools."
Wang Dong'er: ?
Xiao Xiao: ?
Other students in Class One: ?
Everyone's eyebrows shot up—not because they had questions themselves, but because Zhou Yi sounded like she had problems.
Right off the bat, she's spitting venom, saying she's training monsters, not idiots. Isn't that basically calling them trash and useless?
Such oppressive words—this is the teaching style of the continent's number one academy?
Both Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao frowned, realizing this was totally not what they expected.
Before they could think further, Zhou Yi barked again.
"Anyone who's fought since registration, stand up."
The freshmen looked baffled—why would new students who just got admitted be fighting? Even if they did, who would admit it?
Zhou Yi frowned at the silence, snorted, and said with displeasure:
"Over a hundred people, and not a single fight? Pathetic! Don't you know that not daring to cause trouble makes you mediocre? Now, everyone get outside and run a hundred laps around Shrek Plaza. Anyone who can't finish gets expelled!"
As her words fell, an eerie silence gripped the entire Class One.
Everyone stared dumbfounded at Zhou Yi, wondering if they were hearing things right.
No fights in all these days is a problem? Just because they didn't fight, Zhou Yi calls them trash?
And "not daring to cause trouble means mediocrity" is a tradition in Shrek Academy?
The kicker: if they don't finish 100 laps around Shrek Plaza, they get expelled?
Keep in mind, these freshmen weren't all nobles; many came with decent talent, their families investing heavily with recommendation letters from city lords.
They came to Shrek Academy like pilgrims, hoping the teachers' training would rapidly improve their strength and they'd make friends with other geniuses for a smoother path ahead.
Now, on the very first day, they face expulsion?
Meanwhile, from the neighboring classroom, laughter and happiness drifted in—like a big happy family—why is their homeroom teacher this unreasonable old hag?
Seeing no one was obeying, Zhou Yi's eyes turned cold. Her aura burst out like a soul emperor.
"Didn't you hear me? Get moving! Do you all want to be expelled?!"
Just as the freshmen exchanged looks and prepared to follow orders, a voice suddenly rang out:
"Why?"
Zhou Yi's gaze locked on the standing Wang Dong'er. Everyone else immediately turned their attention to the brave freshman daring to question the teacher.
'Has she always been this fearless?'
Feeling her authority challenged, Zhou Yi didn't hesitate to reveal six soul rings, showing everyone she was indeed a soul emperor.
"Why? Because you're students and I'm the teacher responsible for you!"
"Because students should obey teachers unconditionally!"
"Because the students I teach have the highest advancement rate in all of Shrek Academy!"
"Because I'm a six-ring Soul Emperor!"
"Because 'not daring to cause trouble means mediocrity' is a Shrek tradition passed down for thousands of years! Only through fighting can a soul master improve faster! Are these reasons enough?"
A mocking glint flashed in Wang Dong'er's eyes. She met Zhou Yi's gaze fearlessly, speaking clearly and firmly:
"Why should students obey teachers unconditionally? You're just a teacher, not a slave master!"
"Your so-called highest advancement rate is just because you kicked out all the students you think are unqualified!"
"If 'not daring to cause trouble means mediocrity' is a tradition maintained by Shrek Academy for thousands of years, then why don't you, a six-ring Soul Emperor, go bother Soul Saints, Douluos, or even Title Douluos? Instead, you use your status and strength to bully us weak freshmen?"
"So this is what they call the continent's number one academy?"
