Zhou Yi walked out of Shrek City. This city she had once taken pride in now looked like nothing more than irony and coldness in her eyes.
At this moment, Zhou Yi put on that human-skin mask once again, which could make her appear a bit more ferocious. Right now, Zhou Yi's heart had thoroughly chilled; she never expected that she would one day fall to such a state.
Shrek Academy in the Sky had rejected her, and Fan Yu no longer wanted her. She, Zhou Yi, a dignified Spirit Emperor and a renowned teacher who had taught countless outstanding students, had actually lost everything in a single day.
As for returning to that Shrek Academy, not to mention how much hope there was, Zhou Yi herself didn't even want to go back. After all, she had always wanted to leave in the first place. No matter what, she was still an outstanding teacher. For Shrek Academy to lose to another Shrek Academy of the same name was simply unacceptable to Zhou Yi.
She herself was a person with quite high ambitions. She possessed beauty that ordinary people found difficult to match, had become a Spirit Emperor in her twenties, and entered Shrek Academy to become an outstanding teacher. Moreover, her husband had also become a Spirit Douluo at a similarly young age. Everything in the future originally looked so good, so from which step had things started to go wrong?
Zhou Yi's hands trembled slightly. She lowered her head to look at her hands, which were covered in dust and tiny scars, while Fan Yu's retreating figure surfaced in her mind.
That man who had once said he loved her the most, that man who would stand behind her no matter what she did, had actually uttered the word divorce.
"Heh… Hehehe…"
Zhou Yi suddenly let out a low, cold laugh, the laughter carrying a hint of hysteria.
"Fan Yu, your heart is truly so cruel…"
Zhou Yi had originally harbored a nearly distorted expectation—she expected those Abyssal Creatures to completely destroy the entire Douluo Continent. But after seeing the performance of the people from that Shrek Academy in the Sky, she knew this was impossible.
Those Abyssal Creatures were strong, but compared to the other Shrek Academy, they were simply too weak.
Zhou Yi forcefully suppressed the quite dissatisfied emotions within her heart, and then headed out of the city. She didn't know where she was going, but she couldn't possibly stay in this place any longer.
After walking about a dozen miles out of Shrek City, the surrounding pedestrians gradually grew sparse. Zhou Yi walked along the road with her head lowered and heavy steps. However, at this very moment, a voice suddenly came from ahead.
"It's her! It was this crazy hag who expelled me!"
That voice was very young, carrying an inability to suppress anger.
Zhou Yi abruptly raised her head to see a few people standing not far ahead. Leading them was a youth around twelve or thirteen years old. He looked very frail, but at this moment, his face was full of anger and resentment.
Standing beside him was a robust middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties, dressed in lavish robes with a steady Aura—obviously not an ordinary person.
Further back, there were a few people who looked like attendants, each staring unkindly at Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi's gaze abruptly shrank. She still remembered this fellow in front of her; this fellow was clearly someone she had expelled along the way when she expelled Wu Feng back then. Yet in Zhou Yi's impression, this fellow's personality was cowardly and cautious. But now, he directly called her a crazy hag—could it be that he had gone mad?
"How does an expelled trash still have the face to come back now?"
Zhou Yi let out a cold hum, her tone full of ill intent.
Hearing this, that student became even angrier and no longer wanted to argue so much with Zhou Yi.
"Dad, beat her!"
Zhou Yi's expression changed slightly as her gaze fell upon the middle-aged man behind the student. That man quickly released his Spirit Rings, turning out to be a powerhouse at the Spirit Emperor level! And those attendants were at least Four-ring, with quite a few being Five-ring.
It was just that Zhou Yi's condition was not good right now. If it were on ordinary days, she, Zhou Yi, would definitely make these fellows witness what was truly called a six-ring Spirit Emperor.
"When I expelled you that day, it was because you didn't meet Shrek Academy's standards. This is Shrek Academy's rule, and when I made this decision, Shrek Academy didn't have any objections either. If you want revenge, then go find Shrek Academy!"
"I now have no relationship whatsoever with that Shrek Academy; it has nothing to do with me!"
Zhou Yi spoke these words with complete self-righteousness, and that student grew even angrier upon hearing Zhou Yi's shameless words.
"Standards? Your so-called standard is that no one can refute you?"
"You must give us an explanation!"
As he spoke, that middle-aged man released his six Spirit Rings, and the people behind him also began to release their respective Spirits. Clearly, this matter could not end amicably.
If so, then let's fight!
Even if she, Zhou Yi, was injured, she was still a Genius!
Zhou Yi similarly released her six-ring Spirit Emperor cultivation, simultaneously releasing her Red Dragon Martial Soul! Even though she was injured, the Aura on Zhou Yi's body was still very strong.
"Yo, isn't this Teacher Zhou? It's been so long, how did you become so pathetic?"
Before both sides could start fighting, more people looking like students approached, and all of them had hired thugs by their sides, looking quite formidable.
Zhou Yi's heart sank. She never would have thought that after expelling so many students in the past, this group of fellows would gather around directly now, and even bring thugs with them.
"What do you all want to do?"
A hint of a tremble laced Zhou Yi's voice. She took another step back, her hands instinctively protecting the front of her body.
These students might not have much strength themselves, but among those who could enter Shrek Academy to study, which of them was simple?
You must know that one of the thresholds for entering Shrek Academy was a recommendation letter at the city lord level!
Previously, no matter how many people Zhou Yi expelled, everyone would not show dissatisfaction, because that was Shrek Academy, the number one academy on the Douluo Continent.
Not to mention whether Shrek Academy was still the number one academy on the continent right now, just the fact that Zhou Yi had already withdrawn from that Shrek Academy and was all alone—wasn't this the perfect opportunity for revenge?
And right at this moment, dozens of Spirit Emperors, and even powerhouse-level Spirit Saints, had already appeared before Zhou Yi. Clearly, they had all come for revenge.
At this time, Zhou Yi's face instantly turned completely pale.
"Heh heh, crazy hag, have you ever thought that this day would happen?"
That student spoke, looking at Zhou Yi with a cold sneer.
"You… You all…"
Right at this time, the crowd of students and parents directly erupted with all their accumulated resentment. After beating her up for a good while, Zhou Yi was covered all over in injuries.
"Without Shrek's protection, you are nothing at all!"
Watching the crowd walk away, anger surged within Zhou Yi's eyes. One day, she would have her revenge; she would not let a single one of those fellows who offended her off.
Zhou Yi coughed again, coughing up fresh blood, and then cursed angrily, "Damn it."
This group of fellows had given her the motivation to keep living once more. Now she had a goal. When Zhou Yi raised her eyes once again, her eyes held only a grim ruthlessness.
