Huo Yuhao nodded heavily, his eyes full of anticipation.
……
The main hall of the Ascension Altar.
As the cabin doors opened one after another, the thirty-two trainees rose from their silver virtual cabins.
Some were eager to try, but... others looked bitter, because the people who came to Shrek Academy weren't particularly talented, so even if they teamed up, they might not be a match for a hundred-year-old soul beast.
Of course, some were lucky enough to get a lot, but even though they didn't gain much, they still gained something.
"I think everyone should already know this. Don't worry if some of you didn't absorb the energy. There will be other opportunities in the future. When you become stronger, you will be able to redeem yourselves."
Shen Yi clapped his hands and announced:
"Today's orientation class is now over."
"Classes will officially begin tomorrow morning!"
"Disband!"
Goodbye, teacher!
The members bowed and then dispersed in twos and threes.
"Yuhao, are you planning to go to the cafeteria together?"
Huo Yuhao had just stepped out of the hall when he encountered Tang Wulin and his two companions.
Tang Wulin's eyes lit up at the mention of food.
Huo Yuhao touched his somewhat shriveled belly and smiled.
"Great, I'm hungry too."
As the group was heading to the cafeteria, three people approached them.
The leader was an elderly man in a wheelchair, who looked emaciated.
The person pushing him was a handsome young man.
Beside him stood an elderly man dressed in a purple robe, exuding a profound aura.
It was Moon, Bebe, and Beixin, who had just finished visiting the academy and were about to leave.
As the wheelchair slowly passed by Huo Yuhao.
Mu En subconsciously turned his head, his gaze fixed on Huo Yuhao.
In that instant, Moon had a strange feeling, as if... something that originally belonged to him, something extremely precious, had brushed past him at this moment.
The feeling was so intense that it gave Moon a strange sense of loss.
It feels empty.
It was as if something important to Shrek Academy, or even something related to the very foundation of the school, had been lost.
Moon was certain that he had never met Huo Yuhao, but... what was the reason for this regret?
Am I hallucinating because I'm getting old?
Hopefully, Shrek Academy will produce more outstanding talents.
Hopefully, Xuanzi and the others will be more composed.
While Moon was still dazed by the thrill he had just experienced...
"Whoosh-"
A streak of light sped across the sky.
Old Lin is back.
She looked travel-worn and her face was pale.
Behind her, a silver-white, fully automated resource auditing drone, flashing blue light, followed at a leisurely pace.
"Elder Mu."
Old Lin landed beside Mu En, his voice somewhat hoarse, as if he had aged considerably in an instant:
"I...I'm back."
Mu En glanced at Old Lin's ashen face, then at the small ball floating in the air, and understood everything.
It seems that Shrek Academy's warehouse is really going to be emptied this time.
"Are you ready?"
Bei Xin asked with a smile, seemingly oblivious to the murderous glare in Old Lin's eyes.
"Ready."
Old Lin gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words, then handed over a heavy storage soul tool.
The things inside are the culmination of Shrek Academy's millennia of hard work.
It was also the price they paid to regain their dignity.
"Okay, let's go get them then."
Chapter 55 Flattery is an essential skill for the Dean of Shrek Academy.
Inside the locked room.
Yan Shaozhe's gaze fell on Xuanzi, whose head was lowered and whose disheveled white hair covered most of his face. Only half of his face, which was swollen like a pig's head, and blood was constantly seeping from the corner of his mouth could be seen.
On the ground in front of him, a dozen or so bloody teeth lay scattered.
That was slapped away by Long Yeyue just now.
"Elder Xuan..."
Yan Shaozhe hesitated for a long time before finally speaking, his tone full of concern.
"Are you...are you alright?"
This is nonsense.
With all his teeth knocked out and his face swollen like that, how could he be alright?
But Yan Shaozhe had no choice but to ask.
When Long Yeyue made his move, he was startled by the slap. It was obviously funny that a dignified Super Douluo was startled by a slap, but now that it actually happened, it was no longer funny.
Furthermore, Mu En was also present at the time, and Mu En's expression was unpleasant, clearly showing his anger at Xuanzi's outrageous remarks.
So at that moment, Yan Shaozhe wisely chose to keep quiet and play dead, fearing that if he said another word, the short-tempered old woman would slap him.
Now that all the outsiders have left, only his own people remain. As a junior and a subordinate, he must show sufficient care.
Seeing this, Qian Duoduo quickly came over, looking worried.
"Yes, Elder Xuan, how are your injuries? Are they serious?"
"That...that old woman was too ruthless!"
Faced with the questions from the two people.
Xuanzi didn't speak. He kept his head down, staring intently at the blood-stained teeth on the ground.
Those old eyes, which were originally cloudy, were now bloodshot, and their gaze was terrifyingly sinister.
A thick, almost tangible resentment emanated from him.
That aura was cold and violent, completely unlike that of a Shrek Academy elder; it was more like that of an evil spirit master.
I know, I know this is Taotie Douluo who has been wronged.
If you didn't know better, you'd think he was one of the Holy Spirit's elders.
Seeing that Xuanzi remained silent, the atmosphere became awkward again.
Yan Shaozhe's eyes darted around, and he quickly understood what Xuanzi was struggling with: saving face.
As a powerful figure of his time, being treated like a monkey was a humiliation that was more painful than being killed.
To appease Xuanzi, we must help him regain his dignity, even if only verbally.
"Elder Xuan, please don't take it to heart."
Yan Shaozhe took a deep breath, his face showing an expression of righteous indignation.
"That crazy old woman, she only acts tough because she has more people; this place is their territory!"
"If you hadn't exhausted your soul power beforehand, and if this strange soul tool hadn't restricted it, how could that old woman have dared to attack you?"
"This is clearly taking advantage of someone's vulnerability! It's an unfair victory!"
Yan Shaozhe spoke these words with absolute certainty.
He was trying to find a way out for Xuanzi, and also to find a fig leaf for Shrek Academy.
"You are a level 98 Super Douluo! You possess the top-tier Martial Soul, the Gluttonous Divine Ox! You are one of the strongest in the world!"
"In a head-on confrontation, how could that old woman possibly be a match for you?"
"Those people were playing such a dirty trick!"
"Absolutely shameless!"
It must be said that Yan Shaozhe truly lives up to his reputation as the dean of the Martial Soul Department at Shrek Academy; his ability to avoid the important issues and focus on the trivial is indeed superb.
Xuanzi, who had been keeping a gloomy face and remaining silent, changed his expression after hearing these words.
The muscles on that swollen, pig-like face twitched slightly.
It still hurts a lot.
But... I feel much better now.
Yes!
That's what I think too!
If my soul power hadn't been sealed, how could that old woman have possibly hurt me? As a dignified Taotie Douluo with astonishing defensive power, how could I possibly have my teeth knocked out with a single slap?
Thinking about it this way, Xuanzi's sense of shame instantly lessened, replaced by a tragic feeling of a hero being bullied by dogs in distress.
"call……"
Xuanzi exhaled a heavy breath, hissing as air escaped through his front teeth.
His expression softened slightly, and he looked up at Yan Shaozhe with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
As expected of Junior Master's disciple, and as expected of the Dean of the Martial Soul Department.
His speech is pleasant to hear and demonstrates skill.
Qian Duoduo, who was standing to the side, immediately understood what was going on.
If not now, when?
"Shao Zhe is right!"
Qian Duoduo slapped his thigh, spitting everywhere, and immediately chimed in:
"Elder Xuan, please don't doubt your own strength over such a trivial matter."
"Those people are a bunch of despicable villains who only know how to use underhanded tricks!"
Qian Duoduo held up five fingers and blew confidently:
"If Elder Xuan could break the seal, return to his prime, eat and drink his fill, and unleash his Martial Soul True Body..."
"Humph!"
"Don't call her a crazy old woman."
"Even if I had to take on five crazy old women, it wouldn't be a problem!"
"You could smash her into mincemeat with one slap!"
Xuanzi was clearly swayed by this, and the gloom in his eyes dissipated considerably.
However, when his gaze swept over the broken teeth scattered on the ground again, the anger in his eyes reignited.
