Douluo Continent: Transmigrating to the Star Palace of Yuhao

Chapter 21 Enrollment

"Hey bro, we've arrived at the east gate of Shrek City."

The carriage stopped, and the middle-aged man sitting in the front called out to the back.

A boy of about ten years old with delicate features and long black hair tied in a ponytail slowly walked out of the cargo-laden carriage.

"Uncle, this is for your travel expenses, please accept it."

The boy walked very fast and arrived next to the middle-aged man in an instant, extending a hand that was clutching a few silver soul coins.

The middle-aged man quickly waved his hand with a smile, "You're too kind, young man. You've cooked all the way here, and I'm already being a lucky man to give you a ride. How could I possibly take your money?"

"Thank you, sir."

Huo Yuhao did not insist any further. After thanking them, he followed the crowd forward.

Shrek City is located in the southeast of the Heavenly Soul Empire. It is bordered by the Star Dou Great Forest to the southeast, the Dou Ling Empire to the east, and the Star Luo Empire to the south, and is located in the core area of ​​the old Douluo Continent.

In the Douluo Continent, Shrek City is one of the largest cities, with more than two million people living there.

Shrek Academy, which bears the name of the city, has absolute control over it and has its own army of about 10,000 men, including 3,000 Soul Masters.

This army is so powerful that it is renowned throughout the entire Douluo Continent, including the Sun Moon Empire.

During the war between the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent, the three thousand Shrek soldiers sent by Shrek Academy held off the Sun Moon Empire's army for fifteen days, buying precious time for the three kingdoms that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent to mobilize their armies, which ultimately led to their victory.

Most of the soul masters in the Shrek Army are graduates of Shrek Academy, and their loyalty to the academy even surpasses that to their own motherland. Rather than calling Shrek an academy, it's more accurate to say that, like the Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago, it's a miniature nation with immense power.

Shrek Academy is not located within Shrek City, but rather in the southeast of the city, facing the Star Dou Great Forest. The reasons for building the academy here are actually quite complex, but broadly speaking, there are two main reasons.

Firstly, it facilitates students' acquisition of soul rings in the Star Dou Great Forest while minimizing the impact on ordinary people in the city; secondly, because the Body Sect created a beast tide in the Star Dou Great Forest two thousand years ago, the academy, as the first line of defense for the human world, has an inescapable mission.

It is precisely because of the existence of Shrek Academy that Shrek City, situated at the intersection of three kingdoms, enjoys excellent security, allowing it to develop trade. Merchants from various countries can trade here without worrying about attacks from spirit beasts or humans.

The south, west, and north gates of Shrek City are open to all, except for the east gate, which is exclusively for Shrek Academy.

Huo Yuhao stayed in the far north for more than half a year. When he finally arrived at this historic city while traveling and collecting local customs, Shrek Academy had already begun its annual freshman registration.

Huo Yuhao did not rush to report for duty immediately.

The east gate of Shrek Academy is currently bustling with new student registration, making it a prime time for vendors to capitalize on the massive influx of people. Similarly, new students also shop here for dormitory supplies.

Although these vendors will definitely raise prices, you have to know that those who come to Shrek Academy are all Soul Masters, and they are all rich and powerful people who don't care about money.

Of course, Huo Yuhao was still short of money, but he was too lazy to waste any more time. He had already figured out how to make the money: after registering, he would go to the Soul Guidance Department to get a feel for things beforehand and start learning how to make Soul Guidance Devices as soon as possible.

On the one hand, they sell soul guides to make money, and on the other hand, they study fixed-mount soul guide shells so that they can easily blow up their opponents in the future.

Especially the White Tiger Duke's Mansion

Thinking of this place that made him feel physically nauseous, Huo Yuhao wanted nothing more than to blow it up right now. He rubbed his head, temporarily suppressing the restless hatred in his heart, and continued his shopping.

As evening approached, Huo Yuhao finally finished buying what he wanted, which cost him a total of ten gold soul coins. These merchants were really daring to charge such high prices. These items would cost less than five silver soul coins outside. It seemed they were really here to rip off a big spender, directly raising the price on the spot and increasing it twentyfold!

If he weren't in a rush and wanted to finish his enrollment procedures before the registration deadline today, Huo Yuhao would have gone to the city center to buy something.

Come to think of it, he seems to have forgotten about his loyal servant, but Huo Yuhao doesn't have time to worry about it for now. He'll contact him again when he has time later.

Putting his worries aside for the time being, Huo Yuhao hurried to the place where the new students registered. If he was any later, he would have to open a hotel in this prime real estate!

By this time, there were far fewer people at the registration point.

Most of the new students arriving at Shrek City at this time choose to check into a hotel and register the next day. After all, how many rich kids would be short of money? After a long journey, instead of getting a proper rest, they have to make their beds and clean their rooms before they can get a good night's sleep. Isn't that too much to ask of these young masters and ladies?

Only a poor guy like Huo Yuhao, who can't bear to spend the money, would rush to suffer this "torture".

However, precisely because there were so few people around, Huo Yuhao's arrival caused quite a stir.

Huo Yuhao, already possessing a strong foundation, had his features softened further after merging with the powers of the Ice Emperor, Ice Phoenix, and Snow Lotus, while also exuding a cool and aloof air. Coupled with his exceptionally bright eyes and long, jet-black hair tied in a ponytail, he was practically a walking, talking succubus.

If there were many people, the crowd might be too dense, and not many people would notice him, but now...

A group of women—of the same age, older, and even older—were staring at him with lustful eyes, as if they wanted nothing more than to strip him naked on the spot.

Huo Yuhao immediately broke out in a sweat, feeling a slight regret for his decision not to open a hotel.

But now that he'd arrived, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and find a registration desk run by a senior student.

Many of the female students watched as the lamb ran away on its own, then beat their chests in frustration and glared fiercely at the unfortunate senior with the eyes of someone looking at an enemy.

The square-faced senior in a yellow outfit, who was responsible for receiving him, looked at Huo Yuhao in front of him with a wry smile and couldn't help but complain, "Bro, if you do this, I won't have any chance to choose a partner for the next four years!"

Huo Yuhao said with a hint of apology, "Senior, you saw those predatory eyes too, right? I was really scared!"

The square-faced senior was so angry at Huo Yuhao's Versailles-like remarks that he gritted his teeth. "Look at what you're saying! Is that even human? I don't even get this kind of treatment!" He glared at Huo Yuhao and said irritably, "Alright, alright, stop being so sarcastic. Hurry up! Once I've finished this, I'm off to eat!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao didn't hesitate and immediately took out the letter of introduction from his soul tool.

After confirming that everything was correct and completing Huo Yuhao's registration, the square-faced senior student continued, "Test your soul power level. If there are no problems, you can go directly to the assessment." With that, he tossed a crystal ball to Huo Yuhao.

With a slight exertion of the Star-Guiding Technique, soul power condensed from Huo Yuhao's palm, and the crystal ball immediately shone brightly, dazzling and radiant.

"Holy crap! Soul power level 30 or higher? How old are you? You're a monster!" The senior female students and freshmen girls had been staring in Huo Yuhao's direction, and now that they heard about Huo Yuhao's monstrous talent, their eyes gleamed even brighter.
