Everyone held their breath, watching the two men, who were on the verge of exchanging blows.
On one side is Zhou Yi, a teacher at Shrek Academy with the cultivation of a Soul Emperor, and on the other side is Chen Mo, a genius boy who enrolled in the same school as them.
Logically speaking, this battle should have been a foregone conclusion. However, considering Zhou Yi's disgusting face just now, they still hoped that Chen Mo could create a miracle.
The two were about to engage in battle.
Chen Mo showed no mercy, his first spirit ring suddenly lit up, and he unleashed his first spirit skill, Instant Slash!
The sword energy surged wildly and powerfully, and the purple longsword seemed to traverse space, arriving in front of Zhou Yi in an instant.
"So fast!"
Zhou Yi was shocked, but she did not lose her composure.
Her instinctive fighting reaction made her defend herself.
Crimson scales quickly covered her arms as if they were alive, and she then held them horizontally in front of her.
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing together was enough to make your teeth ache.
Chen Mo was not surprised to see his attack blocked, and immediately turned around and kicked Zhou Yi in the abdomen.
Bang!
A roaring sound rang out.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yi flew backward, crashed through the podium, and slammed heavily against the wall.
The intense pain caused Zhou Yi to lose her composure slightly, looking at the wound on her arm in disbelief.
In that instant, a sense of fear rose in her heart. Was he really a Soul Master?
The students in the class were all stunned. Were these really freshmen? Especially Wang Dong'er and Huo Yuhao.
Wang Dong'er, being from the Haotian Sect, naturally knew the significance of what had just happened. She could say that if it were her, she didn't think she could have done it.
Chen Mo's movements just now were fluid and graceful; both the speed and power of his sword strikes were perfect.
Huo Yuhao only managed to see Chen Mo's series of actions clearly with the help of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. This innate fighting instinct made Huo Yuhao extremely envious.
If I could be as powerful as Chen Mo, avenging my mother would be a piece of cake!
As if sensing Huo Yuhao's thoughts, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm comforted him, "Little Yuhao, don't worry. With your brother here, you'll become even stronger than Chen Mo someday..."
But Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was soon stunned, because he felt a powerful spiritual energy bursting out from Chen Mo's body.
Chen Mo raised the Soul-Slaying Sword and swung it at Zhou Yi from a distance. This scene left everyone in the class confused. Only one person, or rather, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm inside Huo Yuhao, could see the "invisible" sword energy!
This is Chen Mo's second soul skill, Heart Sword!
It is a powerful mental attack, similar to Huo Yuhao's mental shock, except that the Heart Sword is more domineering. The mental damage it causes is irreversible. If Chen Mo goes all out, he can even annihilate the enemy's soul!
Even the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm couldn't achieve this kind of attack method.
And Chen Mo, who was only twelve years old, actually did it!
In an instant, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm became hungry!
That's right, it's lusting after Chen Mo's body; he's the genius it's been searching for!
Comparing Huo Yuhao to Chen Mo is an insult to Chen Mo, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm feels it's a pity she didn't meet him sooner!
Zhou Yi, embedded in the wall, felt a sudden chill run down her spine, sensing a strong sense of crisis. Without thinking, she moved her body and "coincidentally" dodged the attack.
With a loud bang, the sheer scale of the explosion attracted the attention of many senior students, as well as Class 9's homeroom teacher, Mu Jin, who brought some students to inspect the scene.
A bottomless ravine appeared where Zhou Yi had originally been!
There was an unseen threat that seemed to sever the building; this invisible attack sent chills down everyone's spines.
As the saying goes, it's easy to dodge a spear but hard to guard against a hidden arrow. No one expected Chen Mo's soul skill to be so overpowered!
This was obviously Chen Mo's intention; there was no need to kill someone over a small conflict.
However, if they really became enemies, he would naturally not be merciful, since this second soul skill, Heart Sword, can be charged up, and the longer the charging time, the higher the damage.
"Is the teacher satisfied?"
Chen Mo's lazy voice rang out in the quiet classroom, drawing the attention of countless people.
[The host has successfully attacked Huo Yuhao's mentor. 3000 Luck Points awarded.]
[The system detected that the host caused the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm to develop feelings of dislike for Huo Yuhao. 5000 Luck Points awarded.]
"Um?"
Chen Mo understood the first reward, but was a little confused about the second one, and then looked in Huo Yuhao's direction.
Seeing the golden glint in Huo Yuhao's eyes made it all clear.
It seems that the battle just now, as well as the spiritual power unleashed by that Heart Sword strike, were all observed by Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
However, Zhou Yi is really cheap, only worth 3000 luck points, not even worth as much as a single thought of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
"It seems our teacher Zhou Yi has been knocked silly." A soft female voice came from outside the classroom.
As everyone looked, they saw a graceful woman striding in with long legs, followed by an elderly man in a white robe.
When Chen Mo saw the person who came, he was first stunned, but then he knew who it was after sensing the light aura on the other person.
Yan Shaozhe!
"Who are you calling a fool!" Zhou Yi snorted coldly as she came to her senses, but only she knew the terror in her heart.
Mu Jin ignored Zhou Yi. As a Soul Emperor, how could she be suppressed and beaten by a Soul Venerable? Wouldn't that be shameful if word got out?
He then looked at Chen Mo with a kind expression: "Little guy, it's not a good thing to have a conflict with your homeroom teacher on the first day of school."
Chen Mo blinked his big eyes and pretended to be well-behaved, saying, "Teacher Zhou Yi said that those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre. I was just proving that I am not mediocre. I shouldn't have violated any rules, right?"
Looking at Chen Mo's innocent face, Mu Jin liked him more and more. Not only was he handsome, but he was also eloquent. Naturally, she was happy to see Zhou Yi suffer a loss.
But he still pretended to be serious and said, "This time it was your homeroom teacher Zhou Yi's fault, but you mustn't hit her so hard next time. What if you beat your homeroom teacher so badly that she becomes stupid?"
Upon hearing this, someone couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Anyone with eyes can see that this teacher is using the pretext of criticizing Chen Mo to say that Zhou Yi is not good enough.
"Okay, teacher, I understand." Chen Mo obediently agreed.
Seeing this, Zhou Yi almost spat out blood. In front of Mu Jin, he was a well-behaved child who respected his teacher, but in front of her, he was a disobedient and naughty student.
That kid is such a hypocrite!
If Chen Mo knew what Zhou Yi was thinking, he would definitely cry out that he was wronged. If it weren't for this old woman's insistence on getting angry, he wouldn't have taken action.
Yan Shaozhe, who had been observing from the sidelines for a long time, had a hint of joy in his eyes. He had been observing from the beginning.
After receiving Chen Mo's information yesterday, he was somewhat incredulous. A twelve-year-old Soul Master, especially after witnessing the fluctuations of soul power in Chen Mo's body, he knew that Chen Mo was only one step away from advancing to Soul Master!
What does this mean?
This is an unparalleled genius!
And that incredible combination of spirit rings constantly highlights Chen Mo's uniqueness!
She was practically his dream girl.
It would be a waste of talent to hand over such a student to Zhou Yi. He must be personally taught by a brainwashing master like Zhou Yi. Only in this way can Chen Mo become Shrek's dog... no, its mainstay!
Yan Shaozhe didn't even intend to punish Chen Mo, as such outstanding students have great privileges.
As for Zhou Yi?
Who cares about her? She's just a teacher from the foreign language department, and a controversial one at that. She's just someone who happens to be on the street.
The only thing that Yan Shaozhe regretted was that Chen Mo only had a weapon-type martial soul, not an ultimate martial soul.
If Chen Mo had the added advantage of the ultimate martial soul, Yan Shaozhe speculated that in the battle just now, Chen Mo could have even killed Zhou Yi in one move!
Let's return to the present.
Yan Shaozhe coughed lightly: "Everyone, please be quiet. I am the dean of Shrek Academy. I have seen everything that happened. It was indeed your teacher Zhou Yi who was in the wrong, so let's leave it at that."
Upon hearing this, everyone cheered and looked at Chen Mo with admiration.
If it weren't for Chen Mo leading the resistance, they would have suffered at Zhou Yi's hands.
Some even led the chant: "The strongest rookie king!"
"New King!"
"New King!"
Chen Mo's lips twitched. What a chuunibyou! But he didn't refute Yan Shaozhe's handling of the situation. This way of handling things was very Shrek.
As long as you have talent, you can do whatever you want. Shrek Academy will do everything they can to trap or restrain you. It's just a fight with the homeroom teacher; it's not like someone will die.
Of course, if you are exceptionally talented, it doesn't matter if you cause someone's death, after all, Ma Xiaotao from the Inner Court is the best proof.
"Alright, Ms. Mu Jin, you organize Class 1 and Class 9 first. Everyone else can go back. Ms. Zhou Yi, come with me." Yan Shaozhe gave the instructions methodically.
Upon hearing this, Mu Jin gave Zhou Yi a provocative look.
Zhou Yi was assigned to follow Yan Shaozhe.
After the two left.
A deafening cheer erupted once again.
Seeing this, Mu Jin did not stop them. Freshmen are full of energy, and the most important thing is that they are full of energy. The educational method she advocated was the opposite of Zhou Yi's.
The person who felt most relieved about Zhou Yi being beaten was not the students or Chen Mo, but Mu Jin.
Her feud with Zhou Yi started long ago, and it wasn't just a conflict over educational philosophies. Back when they were young, everyone in Shrek Academy knew about the love triangle between her, Mu Jin, Fan Yu, and Zhou Yi.
And the result was obvious: the one who lost was Mu Jin!
