Chapter 78 Mu En is furious, and Hei Zhouyi is expelled!
Above the sky, the images of the dark world continued to unfold, but the oppressive feeling that emanated from the very core of the film made every viewer feel a tightness in their chest.
The Dark World, inside the Sea God Pavilion.
"Outrageous! Utterly absurd!"
Moon slammed his hand on the armrest of the recliner. His usually kind and peaceful face was now covered with frost, and the sharp glint in his eyes almost pierced the void in front of him.
He stared intently at Zhou Yi's bewildered yet harsh face in the sky, his breathing becoming extremely heavy.
"As the freshman class teacher of Shrek Academy, how can you not even know the basic common knowledge in the soul master world that 'spirit fusion skills have a cooldown period'?"
"Not only did she not know, she even suspected the students were making fun of her? Is this a joke?"
Moon turned his head, his voice terrifyingly low, and asked the trembling academy staff member beside him:
"How exactly did Zhou Yi pass our Shrek Academy's extremely rigorous teacher assessment?"
"Who gave her the audacity to take charge of the most crucial freshman class without sufficient theoretical support?"
The staff member, sweating profusely, lowered his head and answered tremblingly, "Replying to Elder Mu, her theoretical scores were not quite sufficient during the initial selection."
"But considering that her husband, Fan Yu, is the vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department and a rare top talent in our academy, in order to retain Dean Fan Yu, the academy has slightly relaxed the standards in the assessment. Out of respect for Dean Fan Yu, we have made an exception and hired her."
"Nonsense!"
Moon laughed in anger, his eyes filled with disappointment: "Shrek is a sacred place for teaching and nurturing people, not a bureaucratic place for nepotism!"
"Rules are rules because they represent the bottom line of fairness! No one should be allowed to step onto the podium if they lack ability, even if their husband is a Title Douluo! Letting them teach this kind of class would only harm the students."
Mu En took a deep breath and resolutely conveyed the order through his divine sense: "Pass down my order to immediately remove Zhou Yi from her position as homeroom teacher."
"Make her retake Shrek's teacher qualification exam. If she fails, even if Fan Yu wants to leave, we will not stop her! Shrek doesn't need this kind of good-for-nothing who misleads students!"
After issuing the command, Moon looked back at the sky, recalling the orderly teaching scene in the White World, where renowned teachers gathered, and a bitter smile appeared on his lips.
"Compared to White Shrek... we have far too many rotten roots here."
...
The awkward farce continued in the aerial footage.
Faced with Zhou Yi's piercing questioning, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong exchanged bewildered glances, their youthful faces filled with frustration and self-doubt.
They couldn't understand why, when the powerful force from last night was still vivid in their minds, they couldn't find even a trace of resonance now.
Seeing this, Zhou Yi sneered and was about to continue her insults when the office door was gently pushed open.
"Teacher Zhou, why are you so angry?" Teacher Wang Yan walked in with steady steps. He pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and looked at Huo Yuhao and the other person with a mixture of inquiry and gentleness in his eyes.
After hearing the whole story, Wang Yan couldn't help but chuckle.
Turning to Huo Yuhao in an extremely natural tone, she explained, "Children, don't be discouraged. Martial Soul Fusion Skills are not ordinary soul skills; they are a deep resonance of the origins of two martial souls."
"Resonance will greatly deplete your spiritual power and martial spirit reserves, so it inevitably has a 'cooldown period.' With your current cultivation level, you will need at least twenty-four hours to recover before you can perform the next fusion."
After hearing this, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong finally breathed a sigh of relief and showed expressions of sudden understanding.
Zhou Yi, standing to the side, immediately turned a deep purplish-red.
The harsh words she had prepared were stuck in her throat; she could only let out an awkward snort and turn away, refusing to look at the two students she had labeled "teachers for fun."
In the reality of the underworld, the onlookers, including the Soul Masters, all sighed with relief.
"Thank God, at least one of the Black Shrek kids, Wang Yan, is still conscious. If they were all like Zhou Yi, these kids might as well drop out of school."
"Yes, as a teacher, not even knowing about the cooling-off period is really outrageous."
"If it weren't for Wang Yan's help, Huo Yuhao would probably be writing a self-criticism right now. How ironic."
...
The scene shifts rapidly, and finally, it's time for the highly anticipated freshman competition.
This was an extremely brutal battle. Although Black Huo Yuhao didn't possess the heaven-defying techniques of White Huo Yuhao, the ruthlessness he was forced to unleash erupted with astonishing power at this moment.
Although they only possessed soul power at levels ten or twenty, Huo Yuhao acted like a sophisticated radar in every battle, using his spiritual eyes to seize every fleeting opportunity. Xiao Xiao's cauldron soul shattered and reformed time and again in the clashes, while Wang Dong's wings danced amidst the crimson blood.
Even at the most crucial moment, facing an opponent so powerful it was almost despair-inducing, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong finally waited for the cooldown to end in that last second! The "Golden Road" reappeared, its dazzling light sweeping across the entire arena and securing the victory.
The scene freezes on the podium, where Huo Yuhao and his two companions, covered in wounds, smile radiantly. They had won the championship, and received the badge that symbolized honor.
Seeing this scene, the Soul Masters of the Underworld once again uttered waves of exclamations, and many even applauded Huo Yuhao.
"It's really not easy! Huo Yuhao from the underworld, this is simply a weed-like counterattack."
"Compared to Bai Huoyuhao's treatment, his life has been far less smooth. He stumbled and fell, covered in injuries, but thankfully, he has finally risen to prominence."
"Yes! With this kind of performance, this kind of willpower, plus that rare spirit fusion skill, as long as the higher-ups at Shrek Academy aren't blind, they should really start to take him seriously, right?"
A seasoned rogue Soul Master nodded with a sigh: "That's for sure. Winning the Freshman Tournament, and even defeating a stronger opponent, if such potential isn't nurtured, what's the point of Shrek Academy holding the Freshman Tournament?"
"I bet Huo Yuhao will be directly designated as a core disciple, and might even be favored by some elder of a divine lineage."
Discussions arose in every corner of the underworld.
They believed that since Hei Huo Yuhao had adapted to this cruel environment and stood out from the crowd, he deserved the rewards that belonged to the strong.
However, none of them could have guessed just how outrageous what was about to happen...
