Chapter 15: The Furious Zhou Yi

However, to be fair, it was mentioned in the original work that Zhou Yi was shocked by Huo Yu Hao's persistence.

But Su Yu could only smile at this; as a six-ring Soul Emperor who had taught at Shrek Academy for so many years, to be shocked just because of some running—wouldn't that be like a "shocked-someone's-mother-for-a-hundred-years" gift package?

In this regard, it can only be treated as forced plot padding.

During these three months, Su Yu also refined all the medicinal pills his old man sent him, and it was precisely because of this that he resolved the aftereffects caused by the continuously increasing weighted training, but Huo Gua is Huo Gua—he actually had absolutely no issues at all!

After taking one Mysterious Water Pill, plus one Soul Ascension Pill, and with the help of the new version of the Mysterious Heaven Technique cheat, Huo Yu Hao broke through to the peak of Level 16.

Su Yu, relying on the Mysterious Heaven Technique he "card-bugged" out, two Mysterious Water Pills, one Soul Ascension Pill, and several other pills, charged all the way to Level 20.

It is no exaggeration to say that while Huo Gua could use pills to turn things around in the early stages of the original work, Su Yu could also allow himself to overtake on a bend; who doesn't know how to step on the gas on a straightaway? Being fast on the bends is the real speed.

Three months later, Zhou Yi was also going to start having everyone define their future development; Assault System, Control System, Defense System, Support System—these classifications all required them to choose for themselves.

After receiving the paper handed out by Huo Yu Hao, Su Yu casually wrote down two characters: Control.

However, after Su Yu finished writing, Wang Dong leaned his head over very curiously to look, and Su Yu flipped his wrist, handing the paper directly to Huo Yu Hao.

"Su Yu, what did you write? Don't be so stingy, let me see?" Wang Dong still couldn't help but ask.

Looking at Wang Dong's appearance, he probably didn't want to team up with anyone else either; after all, with Wang Dong's tsundere little temperament, he was nine times out of ten too lazy to interact with others.

Su Yu answered quite bluntly: "I don't know."

"If you won't say it, then don't. I didn't even want to know."

Wang Dong turned his head to the side, sulking, and did not continue speaking.

"There are seventy-nine people left in our class, more than I expected. Although one more was eliminated a few days ago, this does not affect our New Student Assessment."

"I will classify you according to the characteristics and traits of your martial souls. After careful analysis, I will complete the groupings for you. If any of you are dissatisfied, you can raise your objections before tomorrow morning."

"Song Qinghan," Zhou Yi said in a deep voice.

"Here!" A thin, small-statured student stood up quickly. He was in the corner of the classroom, and occasionally had a little bit of interaction with Su Yu, so Su Yu actually had a slight impression of him.

A background character from the original work who was arranged by Zhou Yi into the Soul Guidance Department and then never heard from again; I don't know if the Third Young Master forgot or what.

"Now, let's start the groupings. Group One: Huo Yu Hao, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao."

As soon as Zhou Yi's words left her mouth, Wang Dong immediately widened his eyes. Su Yu, however, sat there calmly; he wanted to see Wang Dong's choice—could his own appearance change the influence of the protagonist's halo, or was the protagonist's halo unstoppable in every way?

Standing up with Wang Dong and Huo Yu Hao was also a little girl. She was not tall, rather petite, and although she wasn't particularly beautiful, she was, like Huo, delicate and pretty. The look she cast toward Wang Dong even carried a hint of shyness.

Sigh, the lilies of my hometown have bloomed again. Xiao Xiao, are you sure you don't want to come back and take a look?

"Group Two: Zi Hao, Ma Qingshuang, Leng Leng."

"Group Three..."

Actually, Zhou Yi's grouping based on the characteristics of the martial souls was not wrong, but she overlooked one problem: the relationships between the students.

Due to Su Yu's appearance, the relationship between Huo Gua and Wang Dong was not good; even now, it was limited to being mere classmates.

"Alright, that's it. If you have opinions, raise them quickly. I'll give you one day to consider it. Other classes are also grouping now, but they are definitely not as fast as us. Let them dawdle."

"Hand in the papers in your hands, and then you can be dismissed. After you go back, all of you better rest well. No one is allowed to mess around. Tomorrow is the New Student Assessment, and my final result is that all of you must advance. Whoever gets eliminated will not only have to pack up and leave, but I will also leave you with some profound memories."

Zhou Yi's current appearance truly scared people enough; even Su Yu couldn't help but shiver. Without a doubt, if one were eliminated, this old woman would likely torture you; it was the rhythm of a "mask of pain" appearing at any moment!

"Huo Yu Hao, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, you three stay behind."

Looking at the white paper in her hand, the corner of Zhou Yi's eye began to twitch. The next instant, Wang Dong darted behind Su Yu, who was about to leave.

Bang!

"Su Yu, you come here too!"

Huo Yu Hao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao all trembled in unison, while Su Yu looked at Zhou Yi with a calm expression.

"Teacher, is there something the matter?"

Looking at Zhou Yi's appearance, which was on the verge of erupting, if nothing went wrong, Wang Dong must have snuck a peek at the fact that he had written "Control," and what followed was the bizarre situation of four Control System users appearing.

"Control System! Control System! Control System! Still Control System!" Four sheets of white paper were slammed fiercely onto the table by Zhou Yi. Every time she slammed one, the faces of Huo Yu Hao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao turned paler by a fraction.

In the end, the three of them had all hidden behind Su Yu, looking at Zhou Yi in terror.

Bang!

The podium was ultimately smashed to pieces by Zhou Yi with a single palm, and the white papers on the table scattered all over the floor.

"Su Yu, what should we do?" Huo Yu Hao grabbed Su Yu's sleeve with lingering fear, his eyes filled with extreme terror.

"Vice Class Monitor, please think of a way, help me..." Xiao Xiao tucked her head behind Su Yu, absolutely not daring to stick her head out to look at Zhou Yi.

Wang Dong wasn't doing much better; he grabbed Su Yu's shoulder with one hand and timidly revealed half his head, looking at Zhou Yi, who was on the verge of exploding on the podium.

"Fine, you've grown capable, haven't you? Trying to give me a show of force one by one, right? Su Yu, you speak first. You have a Mirror Martial Soul; your future development path is clearly more suited for the Support System. Why did you write Control System? If you don't give me a reasonable explanation today, I'll have you wear five Iron Vests and run until class tomorrow!"

Zhou Yi's face began to twitch, and the cultivation of a six-ring Soul Emperor caused the classroom to tremble slightly.

"Teacher Zhou, I know you think my martial soul is a Mirror and that I should follow the Support System path, but the Support System path is not what I want to take. The soul rings I choose in the future will also lean towards offensive capabilities. Furthermore, compared to the Support System, my Mirror Martial Soul can actually walk the paths of other systems like Assault, Control, or even Defense. It's just that the Support System is the most secondary choice, and also the most conventional one."

Su Yu was extremely familiar with his own positioning; the plasticity of a mirror had a lot of room for development. If his martial soul could undergo a secondary awakening or mutation, perhaps he could really "cheat" once.

Listening to Su Yu's words, Zhou Yi nodded and said: "What you say makes sense. Since you have your own choice, I won't force you; consider yourself passed. But what about Wang Dong? What are you hiding for? Come out and give me a proper explanation!"

"Uh... I..." Wang Dong cautiously poked his head out and smiled awkwardly: "Teacher Zhou, please don't be angry. Actually, I feel that my abilities can also be used as a Control System Battle Soul Master. I can fly to carry out attack suppression, and after landing, I can also rely on attacks to control the field. I can advance to attack and retreat to defend, and I can fight from a distance and fly. If this isn't the Control System, then what is? So I think the Control System Battle Soul Master is the most suitable for me!"

The more Wang Dong spoke, the more confident he became. Su Yu just wanted to cover his face; could this be considered a classic case of someone fooling themselves into believing their own lies?

"You..." Although Wang Dong's words were different from the original work, they almost made Zhou Yi laugh out of anger. Zhou Yi glared at Wang Dong with anger in her eyes, then said: "Don't think I don't know; you just don't want to be separated from Su Yu. If I hadn't said anything, you would have proposed to be in a group with Su Yu in a moment, right?"

Zhou Yi waved her hand, gathered the scattered white papers from the floor, and continued: "To say you're stupid—your cultivation and aptitude are both genius-level in this class. To say you're smart—the lessons taught are clear as day: teamwork is extremely important. Have you ever seen a team consisting only of the Control System? You brat, you are simply hopelessly stupid. Hurry up and change it back. Huo Yu Hao, you come out too!"
