Chapter 49: Zhou Yi, You Are Truly Trash!

"I must be frank, when it comes to teaching ability and methods, you are the most incompetent teacher in the entire outer courtyard. I even wonder how someone like you can be a teacher at Shrek Academy."

"What did you say? Do you dare say it again!"

Zhou Yi couldn't believe her ears, instantly becoming enraged. She never imagined that a mere student like Huo Yuhao would dare to casually criticize her teaching abilities.

Xuanzi also squinted his eyes in astonishment, saying to Huo Yuhao, "Kid, you need to explain yourself clearly. If you don't provide a reasonable explanation for what you just said, you might really have to leave Shrek Academy."

Insulting a teacher undoubtedly violated the school rules, and everyone present knew it. Yet, Huo Yuhao didn't seem to have lost his composure. Why would he dare to speak to Zhou Yi in such a manner?

"I have my reasons for saying so," Huo Yuhao said with a smile, nodding. "Firstly, educating students is about teaching them how to be good people. I believe you won't question this. After all, the academy aims to educate powerful soul masters, not powerful evil soul masters."

Upon hearing this, Xuanzi raised his eyebrows in surprise. Huo Yuhao's statement was bold but indeed had merit.

"In other classes, the relationship between students and teachers is one of mutual respect and friendship. Teachers care deeply about students' learning, teaching them to respect their elders, unite with classmates, and cherish their companions. And students, in turn, respect and appreciate their teachers. I don't think there's anything wrong with what I said, right?" Huo Yuhao asked Xuanzi.

"You're right," Xuanzi nodded faintly.

"However, in Teacher Zhou's class, it's not like that. How does she handle things? She uses expulsion to cover up her own incompetence and instills fear in the entire class through punishment and threats of expulsion."

"If I'm not mistaken, when the freshmen first enrolled, Class One had a hundred students. But how many students are there now? Fifteen! You haven't given these students any chance, any guidance. In your eyes, they're so-called inferior students who don't meet your standards, so you can arbitrarily expel them from Shrek Academy."

"I've read some ancient texts in the library, and through research, almost one hundred percent of evil soul masters have suffered severe psychological trauma during their upbringing, which is a direct cause of their deviation."

"And if you educate students like this, the fear they experience during their learning process could easily turn into fear and hatred towards you, the academy, or even the entire soul master world. And what does that represent? I don't need to elaborate."

"Thousands of years ago, one of the founders of Shrek Academy once said, 'There are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters!' Abusing your authority to arbitrarily expel students completely disregards the teachings of Shrek Academy's predecessors. You are tarnishing the reputation of Shrek Academy, trampling on its honor, and turning Shrek into fertile ground for cultivating evil soul masters!"

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's scathing accusations, Zhou Yi panicked.

Even she didn't dare to comment on what Yu Xiaogang had said back then. Otherwise, she wouldn't just be leaving Shrek Academy; even Fan Yu might not be able to save her.

Huo Yuhao's mouth almost stretched to his ears with satisfaction. Although Yu Xiaogang's words were quite absurd, they were indeed the perfect finishing touch here.

"What do you, a mere Outer Court student, understand? I have my own teaching methods. If you can't see my brilliance, it's because you're just useless! The percentage of students from my class who advance to the Inner Court is the highest. This is something that no one can deny."

Zhou Yi shifted the focus away from discussing the quality education of students with Huo Yuhao and instead boasted about her proudest achievement: the advancement rate of her students to the Inner Court.

"You see, you're deceiving yourself again," Huo Yuhao chuckled. "If you could truly guarantee a one-fourth advancement rate to the Inner Court, you would have long become a senior teacher. Even if you frequently face complaints from students backed by influential forces, the academy, given your teaching abilities, would never let you remain as a mid-level teacher."

"You think you've found an ironclad loophole to deceive everyone. However, in reality, only you have been deceived, while everyone else is simply laughing at you."

"For example, in this batch, Xiao Xiao from Class One has a twin martial soul, and Wang Dong's strength is also remarkable. Both of them can almost certainly enter the Inner Court for further study. Does that mean your advancement rate to the Inner Court is one-seventh? Haha, it doesn't work like that!"

"Other teachers understand that freshmen entering Shrek Academy carry their own hopes for the future and the earnest expectations of their families behind them. Therefore, they can't bear to arbitrarily expel students; they would at least give them a chance to participate in the freshman assessment."

"But you're different. You've expelled nearly eighty-five students from a class that originally had a hundred, drastically reducing the sample size to inflate the percentage. This is completely self-deception. If we calculate based on the original hundred students in the freshman class, your advancement rate to the Inner Court is a mere two percent, which is an undeniable fact!"

"Well said!"

Mujin, who was standing aside, felt refreshed upon hearing these words. The other teachers in the academy knew about these matters, but due to the relationship between Zhou Yi and Fan Yu, no one dared to openly discuss it.

"Huo Yuhao, you're right!"

Suddenly, a somewhat weak voice came from afar. As everyone turned towards the sound, they found it was Wang Dong, who had previously battled Huo Yuhao.

Wang Dong's face had been cleaned of blood, but he still appeared very pale. What surprised everyone was that Wang Dong didn't refute Huo Yuhao's words. Instead, he joined him in challenging their teacher.

"Wang Dong! You useless trash! I've taught you for so long, yet you conspired with others against me!" Zhou Yi's face twisted in anger. She never expected that the class leader she had taught would stab her in the back like this.

However, a bitter smile appeared on Wang Dong's lips, and tears streamed down his eyes.

"Teacher Zhou, over the past three months, you've expelled eighty-five students from Class One! Some of them I had no interaction with, while others were good friends of mine. Yet, you indiscriminately expelled them from Shrek Academy!"

"And if merely expelling them wasn't enough, you blamed their expulsion on me, claiming it was because I didn't lead our classmates well in cultivation. This led those who were once my close friends to not even bid me farewell before leaving. The guilt kept me awake at night, affecting my state of mind. That's the real reason we lost!"

"And you used me as a bargaining chip, gambling with other class teachers. After losing, you berated me every day, calling me trash!"

"I can tell you, I'm just like Xiao Xiao, with a twin martial soul, and it's one of the top-tier ones. If all goes well, I can definitely cultivate to the level of a Super Douluo in the future! What right do you have to call me trash?"

"Well said!" Huo Yuhao clapped his hands vigorously. "Wang Dong, for your performance today, buddy, I'll treat you to a month of barbecue!"

Meanwhile, due to the overwhelming amount of information, Xuanzi, whose brain was already not functioning properly, finally grasped the essence of the conversation.

"You just mentioned barbecue, right?"
