Douluo Continent: When Huo Yuhao Becomes the Lord of the End

Chapter 9: Time is running out for Shrek.

"What did you say?!"

"Twin martial souls, the spirit attribute main martial soul is the Spirit Eye, and the second martial soul is a mysterious artifact martial soul that cannot be understood. You fled from the Star Luo Empire of the Douluo Three Kingdoms to Mingdu. Lin Jiayi, are you sure you're not joking with me?"

Lin Jiayi wanted to laugh. He felt relieved. He had thought to himself, the dean's performance wasn't much better than his own. Look at him, he was getting anxious.

"Dean, I have confirmed that Yuhao does indeed have twin martial souls, there is absolutely no problem. The only thing that needs to be confirmed now is Yuhao's identity."

"However, this kind of thing is not difficult to investigate. We just need to have our people in Xingluo investigate, and the whole story will be clear in no time."

Jing Hongchen had regained her composure and was now frowning as she looked at the test evaluation report that Lin Jiayi had brought, beginning to think.

Like Lin Jiayi, he also didn't think that the boy named Huo Yuhao was an undercover agent sent by the Douluo Three Kingdoms. But he just felt that something was wrong. Why did he choose the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy?

"The White Tiger Duke's Mansion, the commander of the western border, the Grand Duke of the Star Luo Empire, the illegitimate son of the Star Luo Military God Dai Hao, whose mother died because of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, he harbored hatred and changed his surname to his mother's."

Jing Hongchen muttered to himself, and finally saw the column for the first soul ring's age recorded in the report. His eyes flickered.

"Jiayi, are you saying that the test results show that the boy named Huo Yuhao's first spirit ring was a full five hundred years old, and then he directly leveled up five levels after obtaining another spirit ring? Don't you think this data is a bit too outrageous?"

Lin Jiayi clearly had something to say about this beforehand, and he gave his guess without hesitation.

“Dean, Yuhao is a child with a true spirit, and he only obtained his first spirit ring at the age of eleven from the Star Dou Great Forest. His physical qualities are naturally sufficient to withstand spirit rings of higher age. As for spirit power, I think it is a case of accumulating strength before unleashing it. After all, spirit power does not stagnate just because one has not obtained a spirit ring, does it?”

(Thank you, Master. Amen.)
He hadn't thought of that. Jing Hongchen seemed to agree with this statement, but although he valued it, he didn't immediately express his opinion.

Having taken his position, he naturally had more things to consider. Some things couldn't be easily believed by the young man's one-sided story until a complete conclusion was reached. At the very least, he had to wait for the investigation results from Xingluo to come back before making any decisions.

Of course, the young man named Huo Yuhao has undeniable talent, so he wouldn't just push him away like that. However, he couldn't be hasty for the time being, and at the very least, he couldn't personally get involved. He needed to observe him first.

"Have someone secretly observe the child's behavior, especially his attitude towards both Sun Moon and Douluo Three Kingdoms, and record everything to avoid any oversights."

After saying that, he added, "By the way, the child probably doesn't have much money right now. Have someone buy him some clothes and give him a special soul guide card that allows him to enjoy ordinary food in the cafeteria for free. Don't hide it from him, just tell him directly that this is my idea and I look forward to his performance."

"Also, ask that child what his first soul skill is. With such a unique and rare spiritual attribute martial soul, you never know what surprises his first soul skill might hold."

Lin Jiayi nodded, and before leaving, he turned to look at Jing Hongchen, his small eyes narrowed, as if he had just remembered, and he scratched his head embarrassedly.

"I forgot to tell you, Dean. Before I came here, I personally invested 10,000 gold soul coins in that kid Yuhao. Can the academy reimburse me for that? Of course, if not, that's fine too. Actually, I didn't really want it that much anyway."

"Fuck off!"

"okay!!"

After Lin Jiayi left, Jing Hongchen stood up by the window, gazing absently at the darkening sky. After a long while, a whisper finally broke the silence. "Huo Yuhao, I'm really looking forward to seeing how you perform with soul tools."

at the same time.

Shrek Academy.

"Xiao Xiao, that old woman Zhou Yi is absolutely inhuman! Almost all the students in our class who are physically weak were expelled by her using her power!"

Xiao Xiao was exhausted at the moment. As she squeezed her way into the cafeteria, she comforted him.

"Alright, Wang Dong, what can we do? She's the homeroom teacher. Besides, strict teachers produce outstanding students. Teacher Zhou has the highest college entrance rate among all teachers in the college. She must have her own unique way of educating students."

The two had already gotten their food, but as before, they couldn't even find a chair in the cafeteria. They stood in front of the table, feeling frustrated, and ate a couple of bites.

"Tch, what bullshit about having the highest college entrance rate? I think she just expelled those who didn't meet the physical and spiritual strength requirements, and then focused on cultivating those with high talent. That's how she got a high college entrance rate."

"But the future development of a Soul Master and their own focus are different. Take the hundred laps on the track every week, for example. How can the physical fitness of a Food-type or Support-type Soul Master compare with that of a Power-type or Agility-type Battle Soul Master? She's a madwoman."

Xiao Xiao sighed helplessly. There were some things she didn't want to say, but that didn't mean she didn't have any complaints in her heart.

"Alright, alright, stop complaining. Let's think about how to handle the freshman assessment. You know, this assessment will eliminate most of the freshmen. Only by passing the assessment can we be considered true Shrek students."

Wang Dong scoffed, "Hmph, what kind of nonsense is this system? How much can we freshmen improve in three months? In the end, it's just the academy trying to select the real geniuses. Trash isn't worth training."

Xiao Xiao felt that Wang Dong had been in a bad mood these past few days. Maybe that's just how handsome guys are. She wondered what Wang Dong's background was. His second soul ring was already a thousand years old, so his family background must be very mysterious. But why was he only at level twenty-one at this age? It didn't make sense.

In fact, Wang Dong herself was also puzzled. On the way to Shrek Academy, when the people from the Haotian Sect were escorting her, she suddenly didn't want to come to Shrek Academy anymore. Instead, she felt that she should go to the Sun Moon Empire.

She was startled when the idea came to her, but it was still rejected by the Haotian Sect escorts.

Moreover, she herself had an extreme aversion to soul tools. This aversion was indescribable; she just felt disgusted whenever she saw a soul tool. That's why she suppressed that strange thought and went through with the enrollment at Shrek Academy.

After studying for a while, she became increasingly irritable, feeling that she had no purpose in being there. On one hand, she loathed the soul tools of the Sun Moon Empire, and on the other hand, she felt that it was her true home. But wasn't that betraying her sect and the Heavenly Soul Empire? What was wrong with her?
"Ah~"

Just after the two left, an old man lying under a tree in the distance suddenly sighed. His cloudy old eyes looked at the golden tree in Shrek Poseidon Lake, his eyes filled with unconcealable worry.

"The little guy from the Clear Sky Sect harbors such a deep grudge against Shrek Academy. It's a pity that no promising young talents have emerged this year. Time is truly running out for Shrek Academy."

He recalled a piece of guidance the Golden Tree had given him long ago.

The golden tree, nourished by the nutrients of Shrek's ancestors after their deaths, is Shrek's greatest asset. Why has it suddenly fallen silent in recent years?
"These are turbulent times. I only hope I can have a few more years. How could I be willing to hand Shrek Academy over to Xuanzi?"

Actually, even without Huo Qubing, Shrek Academy still had quite a few talented students in this cohort, but Shrek Academy wanted super monsters. Furthermore, those with powerful sects backing them, like Ning Tian and Wang Dong, were eliminated from the start.
