Shui Wuya nodded. Yan Shaozhe exuded a unique warmth and comfort when standing in front of him, making Shui Wuya feel at ease.

However, Shui Wuya couldn't quite understand why the dean would know him, especially considering it was only the first day of classes after the start of the school year.

Yan Shaozhe, as the dean, shouldn't pay attention to him.

"Shui Wuya, what are you up to now?" Yan Shaozhe asked gently.

His impression of Shui Wuya came from a recommendation letter.

For each student admitted to Shrek Academy, apart from special admissions, there were recommendation letters from various city lords. From these letters, they could also learn about a student's background.

Shui Wuya, from the Extreme Family, less than thirteen years old, was already a Soul Elder at level thirty-one, and possessed an elite martial soul like the Ice Phoenix.

Though Yan Shaozhe didn't know why a talent from the Extreme Family would come to Shrek Academy, his excitement remained unchanged.

A treasure trove indeed. Yan Shaozhe thought.

"Going home," Shui Wuya replied calmly, surprising Yan Shaozhe greatly.

"What? Why, Shui Wuya, is something wrong with the academy?" Yan Shaozhe's expression turned serious.

"No, I have been expelled. I'm not a Shrek student anymore."

Listening to Shui Wuya's calm words, Yan Shaozhe's face grew stern. "Tell me what happened."

The academy did expel some students, but Shui Wuya, a level thirty-one teenage genius, would never be expelled without significant misconduct. And if Shui Wuya had indeed misbehaved, Yan Shaozhe wouldn't condone it.

But Yan Shaozhe's initial reaction was one of misunderstanding.

Shui Wuya recounted his conflict with Zhou Yi in detail, without exaggeration.

He was confident that Zhou Yi's teaching methods themselves were fundamentally flawed.

"What? She expelled you over something like this!" Yan Shaozhe's anger surged. Standing by a classroom door at the time, he turned and strode into the classroom, intending to confront Zhou Yi face to face!

With his hands in his pockets, Shui Wuya entered the classroom, where Yan Shaozhe was already cursing.

It was hard to imagine someone as gentle as Yan Shaozhe would resort to cursing.

"Zhou Yi, there should be limits to assessments! Punishment for not fighting? What kind of logic is that!" Yan Shaozhe fumed.

"Dean, if students don't dare to fight even at the beginning of the school year, what kind of soul masters would they become? The Dragon God Douluo also encourages combat." Zhou Yi was quite defiant; she believed her teaching methods were flawless!

At this moment, still fuming, Yan Shaozhe dared to confront her!

"Nonsense! While having a fighting spirit is good, what we're nurturing here is not a bunch of brainless brawlers!" 

"What do you think this academy is? A training ground for gang members?"

"Shui Wuya indeed isn't suitable for you to teach. I'll transfer him to another class." Yan Shaozhe glanced meaningfully at Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong beside him before turning his gaze back to Zhou Yi.

"After class, come to my office."

Obviously, some things were not suitable to be said in front of students.

After reprimanding Zhou Yi, Yan Shaozhe took Shui Wuya to Class Five.

The teacher in Class Five, seeing Yan Shaozhe bringing a student over, was puzzled.

"Dean?" The teacher walked to the door, glancing at Shui Wuya behind Yan Shaozhe, unsure of the situation.

"A student had a disagreement with Zhou Yi from Class One. I want him to attend your class instead," Yan Shaozhe explained.

Hearing that it was a student from Class One, the teacher's expression became self-evident. They, as teachers, naturally knew Zhou Yi's character very well.

"By the way, his name is Shui Wuya, a level thirty-one Soul Elder," the teacher exclaimed joyfully upon hearing Yan Shaozhe's follow-up sentence. "Very well, Dean, let him stay in our class. I guarantee to teach him well!"

A level thirty-one Soul Elder? Wasn't this just raising the average level of our class for free? This was such a great opportunity! Zhou Yi did a great job.

"I'll go handle the paperwork, and from now on, you'll be attending classes here," Yan Shaozhe said to Shui Wuya.

"Alright, student, please find a seat for yourself and sit down. The dean and I will further discuss the situation," the teacher said, motioning for Shui Wuya to enter the classroom. Standing around wouldn't do any good.

Inside the classroom, curious gazes from the new students fell upon Shui Wuya, raising questions in their minds.

A transfer student?

"Did I hear correctly? He was sent by the dean?"

"What background does he have? That's the dean of the Martial Soul Institute, a Titled Douluo level powerhouse!"

Whispers began circulating within the classroom.

Meanwhile, Dai Huabin, who was lost in thought, snapped out of it when he noticed Shui Wuya. Coincidentally, there was an empty seat beside him, so he gestured for Shui Wuya to sit there.

Thus, amidst disappointed looks from groups of girls, Shui Wuya settled down beside Dai Huabin.

"Um, Shui Wuya, what's going on?" Dai Huabin asked cautiously.

"I'm a bit tired. We'll talk later," Shui Wuya replied calmly before closing his eyes to rest.

Strands of spiritual energy interwove, instantly clearing his mind.

To utilize his abilities better, spiritual power was of utmost importance. Thus, whenever he had the chance, he condensed his spiritual power.

Dai Huabin was taken aback, left to swallow his questions.

When the teacher returned and saw Shui Wuya with his eyes closed, her expression became complex. She couldn't help but think: This guy dared to confront Zhou Yi, not giving her any regard.

Her mouth twitched, trying to reassure herself: It's okay, he's a genius. As long as he ranks first in the freshman assessment, it's fine.

A stitch in time saves nine!

She forced a smile, proceeding to teach the class as if nothing had happened.

...

Until the end of the class, Dai Huabin didn't exchange a single word with Shui Wuya after he got up and left the classroom.

"Hey, do you know that student? What's his situation?" After class, a group of girls surrounded Dai Huabin.

The girls gazed at him affectionately, obviously aware of Dai Huabin's identity as the Duke's son. Shui Wuya was just a topic of conversation.

As Dai Huabin explained his relationship with Shui Wuya, a new student returned with some information.

"Oh my god, he actually confronted a teacher and got expelled by the teacher!"

"Then the dean thought it was the teacher's fault, so he sent him to our class!"

The news exploded like a bomb in the classroom.

Dai Huabin also heard the loud commotion and was dumbfounded.

"Confronted a teacher?!" He knew his roommate wasn't someone to mess with, but he didn't expect him to be this formidable!

Before enrolling, his father had warned him not to cause trouble at the academy. Once expelled by the academy, even a duke couldn't protect him.

But Shui Wuya actually dared...

The freshmen were oblivious to Zhou Yi's reputation but were more concerned about Shui Wuya's expulsion. The news also spread to the upper grades. Hearing that Shui Wuya dared to confront that old hag Zhou Yi, many senior students felt relieved, as if a burden had been lifted.

Many people wanted to meet this Shui Wuya and see what kind of person he was.
