Chapter 22: Don't bully the weak and fear the strong
Although the old woman looked very old, her back was straight. She walked to the back of the podium in a few steps. When she saw the teacher coming, the classroom, which had been a little chaotic before, immediately became quiet.

The old woman's eyes swept calmly from left to right. Suddenly, everyone except Xiao Yan felt an invisible pressure in their hearts the moment she looked at them.

"My name is Zhou Yi, and I'm your homeroom teacher. I'm not sure how many of you will be able to walk with me through the next year, but I want to tell you that in my class, all the garbage and trash will never pass the assessment." Zhou Yi's voice sounded a little hoarse, like a broken gong: "What Shrek Academy wants to cultivate are monsters, not trash and idiots."

Hearing this, many students in the classroom showed anger on their faces. They were definitely elites among their peers, but in the mouth of this teacher, they became waste and idiots, which was a little difficult to accept for a while.

"Waste? Haha..." Hearing the word waste, Xiao Yan couldn't help but raise a self-deprecating smile. He remembered some of his experiences in the Douqi Continent in his previous life, and also remembered his father whom he hadn't seen for a long time - Xiao Zhan!
"Those who have fought during the past few days of registration, please stand up." At this moment, Zhou Yi said something shocking again.

The students in the classroom were all newly admitted. Who would fight in the academy for no reason? Even if they did, no one would be willing to admit it.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan and Wang Dong who was not far away looked at each other, but he did not stand up. Instead, he leaned back gently on the chair. However, at this moment, Wang Dong snorted unwillingly, and then stood up.

There were more than a hundred students in the class, but only Wang Dong stood up. He immediately became the focus of the whole class.

"Are you alone? Did you hit yourself? Or did you have a fight with someone from another class?" Seeing this, Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows and asked with some confusion.

Wang Dong snorted coldly, he looked at Xiao Yan and took the opportunity to say: "Not with people from other classes, but with people from our class."

"Someone from our class? Who?" Zhou Yi's face changed slightly and she asked.

"Xiao Yan!" Wang Dong said without hesitation.

"Who is Xiao Yan?" Zhou Yi was a little angry after hearing this. She cast her eyes on everyone in the classroom, glancing at them one by one.

"Me!" Xiao Yan slowly raised his hand, and suddenly, the noisy classroom became much quieter, and countless eyes were cast towards where Xiao Yan was.

Zhou Yi frowned slightly as she looked at the boy who was wearing a strange outfit and carrying a black ruler. She felt that this boy was not a simple person, and immediately asked, "I just asked who had a fight in the past few days. Why don't you dare to admit it?"

"I didn't provoke them, what do I need to admit?" Hearing this, Xiao Yan slowly stood up and said shockingly: "If someone provokes me, and I defend myself legitimately, it can be considered a fight. Then if someone comes to kill me, and I kill him in self-defense, wouldn't I be a murderer?"

"You..." Zhou Yi was so angry that her teeth itched when she said this. She didn't know how to refute for a moment, so she shouted angrily: "What a bunch of rubbish, don't you know the motto of Shrek Academy? Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre! If you dare not admit a fight, or even fight, are you worthy of being a Shrek student? Except for him, everyone else, go out and run around the playground a hundred times."

"Anyone who can't finish the race will be fired!"

The "he" that Zhou Yi mentioned was naturally Wang Dong. In her mind, Xiao Yan was afraid of being punished and did not dare to admit that he had fought. However, the fact was that Xiao Yan was not a person who liked to fight. He simply disdained to pay attention to Zhou Yi's inexplicable question just now.

In Xiao Yan's mind, what if he had fought before? What if he had not fought before? What could that prove? Could fighting prove that he was strong? The so-called timidity was just a joke in his eyes.

"Not daring to cause trouble means you are a mediocre person? Looking for trouble? Do you go up to weak people and fight them? When you meet someone stronger than you, do you stand there like a fool and dare not say a word? I advise you not to bully the weak and fear the strong..." Folding his hands in front of his chest, Xiao Yan shook his head and whispered. He doesn't cause trouble, but he is definitely not afraid of it. He doesn't agree with the teaching method of Shrek Academy.

As soon as Zhou Yi finished speaking, the whole class was in an uproar. The class hadn't even started yet, but they were going to be punished just because they had never fought. Who would accept that?
The next second, a student stood up and asked, "Teacher, I don't accept it. Why should we be punished even though we didn't fight?" Zhou Yi's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he said in a coercive manner, "Haha, if you don't accept it, then get out immediately. As your class teacher, I have the right to expel any student. I'll give you one minute. If I don't see anyone on the playground after one minute, then you will all be expelled!"

As she spoke, six spirit rings, two yellow, two purple and two black, slowly rose from under Zhou Yi's feet. A terrifying aura rushed out from her body, directly suppressing every student except Xiao Yan, making it impossible for them to breathe.

"Soul Emperor... Isn't this typical of someone who is looking for trouble and bullies the weak and fears the strong?" Looking at the six soul rings entwined around Zhou Yi, Xiao Yan touched his chin and thought to himself, "What if everyone sitting here today is a Titled Douluo?"

After all, these students were all freshmen, and the strongest one was only at the second ring level. Who would dare to resist under such heavy pressure? Except for Xiao Yan and Wang Dong, everyone else walked out dejectedly. Zhou Yi also released and retracted her soul power, watching the students leave the classroom one by one with an expressionless face.

Everyone left the classroom. Seeing Xiao Yan still sitting in his seat without moving, Zhou Yi's face suddenly changed and she shouted angrily, "Why don't you run?"

"Why should I run?" Xiao Yan spread his hands, speechless.

Zhou Yi asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will fire you?"

"If you want to expel me, just expel me. I don't care. I came to Shrek Academy just to see what the teaching level of this so-called No. 1 Academy on the continent is like. Now it seems, it's just so-so." Xiao Yan said with a sneer.

“How dare you!” Upon hearing that, Zhou Yi glared at him with her almond-shaped eyes and scolded.

Xiao Yan shrugged and said nothing.

Seeing Xiao Yan's nonchalant expression, Zhou Yi also realized her own inappropriateness and loss of composure. After a long silence, she suddenly narrowed her eyes and said, "Didn't you just say that Shrek Academy is just like this? I'll give you one chance now. If you can hold out for an incense stick of time in my hands without using any spirit skills, then I'll treat today's incident as if it never happened."

"Otherwise, from this moment on, you are no longer a member of Shrek Academy. The academy won't accept a coward like you who can't even admit to a fight."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded his head, then stood up and slowly walked towards the classroom door. A hint of disdain flashed across his dark eyes. After he seemed to be silent for a while, he calmly replied: "I said, if you want to expel me, then expel me."

"You..." Zhou Yi clenched her teeth and stamped her feet fiercely. She never thought that her tricks that had always worked in the past would not work against Xiao Yan. Was the boy in front of her really only in his teens?

The biggest difference between Xiao Yan and others is that he is not afraid of being expelled at all, because he knows that even if he does not cultivate his martial soul, Yao Lao can make him the strongest man in the world and avenge his mother.

“Hmph, you don’t even dare to admit it after a fight. A waste will be a waste all your life.” Looking at Xiao Yan’s departing back, Zhou Yi snorted disdainfully.

"Waste?" Hearing these two words again, the anger that had accumulated in his heart for many years seemed to burst out in Xiao Yan's heart at this moment. He slowly turned around and stared at Zhou Yi, and said in a deep voice: "It's too narrow here, we have to fight outside."
