Douluo Continent: Outwitting the Ceiling of Wisdom - Yuhao Faks His Death for Ten Thousand Years

Chapter 79 Shrek Academy – A Garbage Academy with a Disorderly School Spirit

Xiao Hongchen was settling his tasks at the task handover window and also processing his upgrade from purple to black level executor.

With nothing else to do, Meng Hongchen chatted casually with Huo Yuhao and Ye Guyi.

"It's much more lively here than the execution department in Donghai City."

Ye Guyi also looked around at the flow of people coming and going, and said softly, "After all, this was once the capital of the Heavenly Soul Empire—"

"However, seeing so many executors is still somewhat surprising."

If so many Soul Masters had been willing to step forward and eradicate evil ten thousand years ago, the Holy Spirit Cult, which deserved to die a thousand deaths, probably wouldn't have amounted to anything.

"Times have changed, Ye'er." Huo Yuhao sighed slightly. "This prosperity is only possible after ten thousand years of development and accumulation for our country and the Spirit Pagoda."

"Moreover, the Spirit Pagoda Executive Department is like a part-time department set up for all Soul Masters on the continent," and its most attractive key lies in "freedom" and "reciprocity."

Those who join the Execution Department do not need to sell themselves to a sect, nor are they bound by strict rules. They can come and go as they please to take on missions and leave as they please to rest.

Completing tasks earns contribution points, which can be exchanged for resources, intelligence, and special privileges. Upgrading is also simple and straightforward.

Most people are selfish, especially Soul Masters who possess power. It is precisely because the Spirit Pagoda's Executive Department offers so many conveniences and benefits that it attracts so many Soul Masters to join.

Just as Huo Yuhao said, Xiao Hongchen quickly and conveniently completed all the upgrade procedures.

He turned around in front of the mission handover window and waved the storage ring in his hand at Huo Yuhao and the other two with a happy expression.

"All done. Inside are our Black-Rank Executor mask, cloak, and the rewards for this upgrade."

"Great! Let's hurry up and go. Didn't that famous master craftsman already urge you to go there quickly, brother?" Meng Hongchen asked curiously.

Hearing this, Xiao Hongchen smiled smugly: "Hmph, we don't need to be in such a hurry. Mr. Zhenhua said he would send someone to the Spirit Pagoda in Tiandou City to pick us up and take us to the Blacksmith Association. We can just wait here for a while."

"Wow! My brother is quite a big shot even in the future. The only master craftsman on the entire continent has to send someone to pick you up. You're much more powerful than you were ten thousand years ago, hehe."

Hearing Meng Hongchen's unique, sarcastic words, Xiao Hongchen patted Huo Yuhao's shoulder beside him without taking it seriously.

"Tch, compared to our Yuhao, what is the Divine Craftsman? As the brother-in-law of the dignified Spirit Ice Douluo, don't underestimate me, you brat."

"And your brother-in-law? To put it bluntly, he's just riding on the coattails of our Yuhao."

Meng Hongchen gripped Huo Yuhao's hand tightly, giving him a "I despise you" look, and pulled Huo Yuhao back a little, not forgetting to roll her eyes at Xiao Hongchen.

"I'm too lazy to argue with you."

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen glared at each other, and their impromptu little bickering came to an end.

Not long after, Huo Yuhao and his group left the Execution Department hall and arrived at the main entrance of the first floor of the Spirit Pagoda in Tiandou City.

They had only walked a little over a thousand meters from the Spirit Pagoda when they saw a commotion coming from not far ahead, with many passersby gathered there to watch the excitement.

"What's going on here?" Meng Hongchen asked curiously, standing on tiptoe and looking in the direction from which the commotion was coming from, about two or three hundred meters away.

Standing beside Meng Hongchen, Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes slightly and silently released his spiritual power to probe in that direction.

After sensing the faint fluctuations of soul power coming from the other side, he raised an eyebrow in surprise.

When he used his mental power to see the scene clearly, and then recalled some past events, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

"What's wrong, Yuhao?" Ye Guyi asked softly, looking puzzled.

"—Looks like someone's in trouble." Huo Yuhao sighed softly. "Let's go check it out."

Led by Huo Yuhao, the Hongchen siblings and Ye Guyi quickened their pace, heading towards the source of the commotion with great curiosity.

Upon approaching, the group finally saw the situation clearly through the crowd of onlookers:

Two teenagers in green school uniforms are facing off against a middle-aged man wearing a purple-level executor mask.

Both sides looked grim, their expressions suggesting hostility, and the air was thick with tension.

"These school uniforms—" Xiao Hongchen stared at the two boys and girls, frowning slightly. "They look somewhat familiar?"

"This can't be... Shrek Academy's uniform, can it?" Meng Hongchen's mouth dropped open in surprise. "What are they doing? Are Shrek students being bullied by the executors of our Spirit Pagoda?"

"On the contrary, Meng'er." Huo Yuhao shook his head slightly. "If I'm not mistaken, it was these two students from Shrek Academy who suddenly jumped out and blocked this poor executor."

As expected, things turned out exactly as Huo Yuhao had predicted.

The next moment, the blond boy in the green school uniform spoke impatiently: "It's just a friendly spar, what's the big deal? Uncle, can you stop wasting our time?"

'

Upon hearing this, the purple-level executor immediately flew into a rage and cursed, "Wasting time? Kid, do you even listen to human language? It was clearly you two who rushed out first and blocked me here, wasting my time!"

Is this how Shrek Academy teaches its students?

"When the Sun and Moon Federation unified the continent, why didn't they shut down your trashy academy with its corrupt school spirit?!"

"Pfft—"

A clear, crisp laugh suddenly rang out.

Hearing the angry curses of the purple-level executor, Meng Hongchen couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Speaking of Shrek Academy, the four of them were all students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy back then, and they had a long-standing feud with Shrek Academy.

Hearing people complain like this, those who didn't have a good impression of Shrek Academy naturally found it quite interesting and satisfying.

"The school's atmosphere is not good—what my colleague in the executive department said is absolutely right."

Xiao Hongchen crossed his arms, his tone filled with deep approval.

He paused deliberately, his gaze sweeping over the two boys and girls in green school uniforms, his eyes filled with mockery as if they were idiots: "So, what exactly are they after? Stopping strangers on the street and forcing them to spar—isn't that just crazy?"

"Who knows?"

Huo Yuhao spoke calmly with a blank expression, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

He knew perfectly well that this was just Shrek Academy's extremely idiotic final exam method—having students randomly find someone outside to spar with in order to accumulate practical experience.

But he was too lazy to explain these absurd exam rules to his three family members, lest he appear to know this garbage college like he knew it all.

On the other side, upon hearing the middle-aged man's merciless insults, the blond-haired boy's face instantly darkened.
