Chapter 62: The Death of Zhou Yi
Watching the two teachers gradually disappear into the distance, Zhou Yi's face twisted with hatred.
Yes, even now, Zhou Yi still did not believe she was wrong. She had only taught students according to her unique teaching methods.
How could she be wrong?!
This method of teaching had been her own improvement upon the way Master Yu Xiaogang had trained the first generation of Shrek's Seven Monsters ten thousand years ago. Was that not enough to prove her excellence?
"Shrek! Blind fools, ungrateful traitors! I hate you, I hate you!" Zhou Yi roared hoarsely, her eyes filled with venom.
"All of this humiliation, I will repay double!"
"I think you will not get the chance."
As Zhou Yi wallowed in her own grief, an abrupt voice sounded.
"Who!" Zhou Yi spun around, her twisted expression like that of a vengeful ghost.
Not far away, rustling footsteps approached. Under her gaze, a pair of youthful hands parted the bushes, revealing a boy of about twelve years old.
Guo Miao.
"Teacher Zhou, long time no see. Do you still remember me?" Guo Miao smiled at her, though his smile carried mocking scorn.
"Oh, look at my memory. You only expelled me from Shrek Academy less than a month ago. Surely you remember me, don't you? Well then, do you remember them?"
As his words fell, the surrounding shrubs shook as one figure after another stepped out. Boys and girls, tall and short, fat and thin.
But they all shared one thing in common—their eyes blazed with hatred and rage, as if they wished to tear Zhou Yi apart and drink her blood alive.
"You…" Zhou Yi's heart instantly sank.
Those young faces—even if she had forgotten most of them—instantly revived memories of everything she had once done.
"Heh, Teacher Zhou, I should thank you. Thank you for the endless pain, thank you for making me forever incapable of cultivating soul power!" a gaunt-faced boy spat through gritted teeth, his bloodshot eyes feral.
"To repay the education you gave us, we are back—back to return the favor!" shrieked a disheveled girl, screaming in madness.
"Teacher Zhou!"
"Let your students send you off on your final journey, so your path to the underworld will be peaceful!!!"
...
Zhou Yi was dead, and not peacefully.
Having already had her soul power destroyed by the parents, she had no ability to resist. Under the frenzied vengeance of the students, she was torn apart alive, reduced to scattered chunks across the ground.
In the truest sense—shattered to pieces. Even her bones were smashed into powder, not a fragment larger than a fingernail remained.
One could only imagine the torment she suffered before death.
Those students, their bodies drenched in her blood, at last smiled in relief and wept in grief.
They had avenged themselves, they had given Zhou Yi the punishment she deserved. Yet their longing for the sacred land of soul masters, Shrek, was forever gone. Some even carried lifelong scars, their path as soul masters permanently cut short.
Zhou Yi… her death was no loss!
"Inform the Ten Thousand Demon King that the plan to destroy Shrek can pause for now. The first phase is complete. Always give them some breathing space," Lin Yun said, seated on a balcony, sipping tea in the sunset glow.
"As the saying goes, a cornered beast will fight desperately. Pressing them too hard is unwise. The blows we have already dealt Shrek are more than enough. To go further would be excessive."
Even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone Shrek—a group of zealots who valued their reputation and honor more than life itself. Better to let them cool down first, then increase the pressure again!
Lin Yun was in no hurry.
The Ice Emperor obediently responded, "Respected one, the message has already been sent to the Ten Thousand Demon King."
"Excellent. Then let us enjoy our pleasant school days for now," Lin Yun said with satisfaction, taking a sip of his tea.
In less than half a month, the blows Lin Yun had delivered to Shrek were devastating. First came Dragon Phoenix Entanglement and Dragon Phoenix Harmony, pieces of "hook literature" that lowered Shrek's lofty image and made the natives of Douluo feel it was not so high and untouchable.
Next came The Teacher of Sin, which ignited everyone's fury and set Shrek ablaze.
These three works did not need to be entirely true—as long as they were wild enough. With half-truths, half-fabrications, and enough gripping content to pull readers in, they perfectly guided public opinion. People only believe what they see, and to them, The Teacher of Sin was reality.
The reputational damage Lin Yun inflicted on Shrek would take years, perhaps decades, of painstaking effort to erase.
Naturally, in the coming years, Shrek's enrollment and admission rates would plummet.
As for the three great empires?
They had no intention of cleaning up Shrek's mess. On the contrary, they were eager to fan the flames. For too long, Shrek had sucked their blood, and they had harbored resentment for years.
Now that Shrek faced internal scandals, the three empires could retain more of their own geniuses instead.
But Lin Yun paid no mind to the dirty power struggles between Shrek and the empires. After Zhou Yi was expelled, the original Class One of the new students collapsed instantly. With only twenty or so left, the class was completely dissolved.
Yan Shaozhe acted sensibly. After learning that Lin Yun's only friend in Class One was Xiao Xiao, the next round of reassignments placed the two of them neatly into the same class.
Class Eight of the new students.
Of course, that was its name now. Before the dissolution of Class One, what was now Class Eight had originally been Class Nine.
"Teacher Mu, hello. I am Lin Yun, and this is my transfer application," Lin Yun said with a polite smile in the teachers' office, handing his form to a middle-aged woman who was not particularly beautiful, but whose gentle, watery temperament put people at ease.
"Teacher Mu, hello. My name is Xiao Xiao, and this is my transfer application," Xiao Xiao followed closely behind, also submitting her form.
"Just place the forms here. Tomorrow, report directly to Class Eight. Welcome to our Class Eight family," Mu Jin said softly, her kind smile making her approachable.
Truthfully, Mu Jin had been in high spirits these past two days—better even than the relief she felt each month when her period ended.
That old hag Zhou Yi had been brought down! That old hag Zhou Yi had been expelled from Shrek! That old hag Zhou Yi had been killed by the very students she once drove out!
To Mu Jin, this was the ultimate triple joy!
