*Chapter 25: I'm Going to Beat You All*
Compared to the gentle, admiring gazes of the female students, the male students' eyes burned with hostility and resentment. They itched to challenge Chen Feng right then, hoping to impress the girls in the class.
Chen Feng strolled into the classroom and took a random seat at the back. Wu Yue, ignored by him, hurriedly sat beside him. Her friends followed, settling behind her.
As the class buzzed with chaos, a mature, beautiful female teacher stepped onto the podium—Mu Jin, the head teacher of Class 9. Her arrival silenced the room, the students instinctively respecting her authority.
Unlike Zhou Yi, who expelled defiant students to assert dominance, Mu Jin's approach was gentler.
Chen Feng, uninterested in her lecture, quietly practiced fusing his Spirit power and mental power. As a novice in this technique, his condensation speed and depth were lacking, requiring diligent effort.
From the podium, Mu Jin noted her students' silence with satisfaction. Scanning the room, her gaze lingered on the two Soul Masters in her class.
"My name is Mu Jin, your head teacher," she began. "I know you're all geniuses among your peers, but at Shrek Academy, genius is commonplace. Here's a harsh truth: in three months, the freshman assessment will eliminate over half—possibly two-thirds—of you."
The word "genius" puffed up many students' pride. They weren't admitted to Shrek without exceptional talent. But the news of such a high elimination rate shocked most, save for a few composed individuals. The classroom stirred with unease.
Seeing their stunned faces, Mu Jin pressed on, "Only a third of Shrek's freshmen will remain after the assessment. But I want over two-thirds of our Class 9 to stay. Do you have the confidence?"
"Yes!" the students roared.
Mu Jin smiled. "Confidence alone isn't enough. You need hard work." After rallying them, she began the lesson.
"Chen Feng," she called.
Hearing his name, Chen Feng paused his practice and stood slowly.
"I've reviewed your entrance exam results. Chen Feng has the highest cultivation here, so he'll be the monitor of Class 9. At Shrek, the strongest rise. The monitor position is open—anyone who defeats Chen Feng can take it. But know this: he's a Soul Master. Weigh your strength carefully before challenging him."
"Soul Master?!"
Her words sparked an uproar. The classroom buzzed again.
Everyone's gazes shifted to Chen Feng, their expressions transformed. Even those with little knowledge understood what it meant to be a Soul Master at eleven—exceptional talent, relentless effort, and ample resources.
The female students' eyes softened with admiration, while the male students, previously hostile, avoided his gaze. Yet, some stubborn ones doubted his combat prowess. High Spirit power didn't always mean superior fighting ability, especially below level 30, and their Spirits weren't weak, having earned them a place at Shrek.
Wu Yue, beside Chen Feng, glanced at the eager male students and silently prayed for them. She knew Chen Feng's terrifying strength from the dormitory beating. Even Shrek's teacher couldn't discern his methods. What scared her most was that Chen Feng had shown only a fraction of his power.
Chen Feng wasn't thrilled about being monitor. Leading a bunch of kids held little appeal. But refusing would disrespect Mu Jin, his new teacher. Since the role seemed undemanding, he accepted it.
Eyeing the restless male students, he smirked with disdain. "I don't have time to play challenge games with you."
Thinking he was intimidated, the male students sneered, underestimating him.
But Chen Feng's next words ignited their fury. His magnetic voice thundered through the room, "All the male students who aren't convinced can come at me together. I'll defeat you all at once!"
The class erupted.
What did they hear? One against all the boys?
"Arrogant!"
"Chen Feng, you're a Soul Master, but you don't take us seriously!"
The male students seethed, unable to tolerate his audacity. Only Wu Yue and her friends, who'd felt Chen Feng's strength, stayed silent, thinking, We're not the only ones who'll get crushed—now it's your turn.
While the boys fumed, the female students were enthralled by Chen Feng's domineering aura.
"So cool, Squad Leader!"
"Chen Feng, be my boyfriend!"
Some girls blushed, clamping their legs together, their eyes dreamy.
Mu Jin, seeing the chaos, slammed the podium. "Quiet! Everyone, settle down!"
The class hushed, though the boys' anger and the girls' admiration lingered.
Mu Jin sighed. "Chen Feng, are you sure about this?"
He smiled confidently. "Teacher, among my peers, no one's my match. I won't even need my full strength."
"Fuck! That's too much!" a boy shouted.
"Teacher, I want to fight him! Let's see how Chen Feng takes on all the boys in Class 9!"
