Peerless: Tang San, this time Huo Yuhao is the attacker.

Huo Yuhao pushed open the door and entered. A middle-aged man was looking at him with a warm smile, appearing very refined and approachable.

If it were the old Huo Yuhao, he would only feel that this person looked very friendly, but with the original work as a reference, he now only feels that Yan Shaozhe is hypocritical.

Especially the apology scene in the original novel, where he resorted to incredibly dirty methods to snatch Huo Yuhao back from the Soul Guidance Department.

First, he pointed out his prestigious status as the dean, then used that status to apologize and intimidate people, and then he started to criticize and praise others while making grand promises.

First, he used his age and cultivation level to demonstrate the accuracy of his words, and then he began to evaluate the soul tool, saying that the soul tool master was merely an appendage of the soul master.

After criticizing the Soul Guidance System, he began to praise the past glory of the Martial Soul System, and when making grand promises at the end, he did not forget to belittle the Soul Guidance System once more.

There are two promises: one is to guarantee that Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao will become inner court disciples, and the other is to give Huo Yuhao a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone, and to make a bold statement that the soul guidance system can never handle a 100,000-year soul beast.

That's why Yan Shaozhe's methods are so underhanded; he's a typical example of someone who wants benefits but doesn't want to pay the price.

Xiao Xiao has twin martial souls, does she really need Yan Shaozhe to guarantee her entry into the inner academy? Not to mention Wang Dong, whose talent is obvious, getting into the inner academy is just a matter of lifting a finger for him.

Furthermore, a 100,000-year-old soul beast is equivalent to a level 92 soul master.

What does this mean? Let alone Xian Lin'er having a level 97 mother, even she herself could easily defeat a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

Yan Shaozhe would say anything for his own selfish reasons, and he could spout all sorts of derogatory remarks about soul tools and soul guidance systems as if these words were engraved in his bones.

"Dean, what brings you here?" Huo Yuhao asked symbolically.

"You must be Yuhao. I watched the previous freshman assessment, and your performance was outstanding."

"Thank you for the compliment, Dean."

Huo Yuhao didn't take Yan Shaozhe's words seriously. If he really thought Yan Shaozhe was outstanding, he wouldn't have refused to give him the status of a core disciple. It was just another trick to deceive him.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's nonchalant attitude, Yan Shaozhe's eyebrows furrowed subconsciously.

I don't even remember the last time I was so eager to please someone, and I never expected to have to do this to a junior like this today.

Judging from Huo Yuhao's attitude alone, Yan Shaozhe could already imagine how the Soul Guidance Department was slandering the Martial Soul Department.

Soul Guidance Department, just wait and see how I deal with you next time!

"Yuhao, it was an oversight of our Spirit Department not to grant you the status of a core disciple before. On behalf of the Spirit Department, I apologize to you."

As Yan Shaozhe spoke, he stood up and bowed slightly to Huo Yuhao as he finished speaking.

Looking at Yan Shaozhe's almost motionless body, Huo Yuhao felt a little awkward. Even if he was pretending, he should at least put in some effort. Was he bowing in apology or nodding in greeting?

Huo Yuhao calculated the time; Xian Lin'er should still need some time to arrive, so he decided to chat with Yan Shaozhe for a while first.

"Dean, you flatter me. I don't care much about becoming a core disciple of the Martial Soul Department. In fact, I originally intended to become a core disciple of the Soul Guidance Department."

Yan Shaozhe maintained his smile, but the gentleness in his eyes had disappeared without him noticing. Huo Yuhao's reaction was far beyond his expectations.

Calm, too calm, as if they really didn't care about being a core disciple of the Martial Soul System.

But this is precisely the biggest point of doubt. This is Shrek Academy, a place of great fame and glory!

No one can refuse Shrek Academy, no one!

Therefore, Yan Shaozhe was certain that Huo Yuhao's performance was due to the Soul Guidance Department offering more tempting conditions.

Thinking of this, Yan Shaozhe's eyes were full of understanding, and he spoke again:

"Yuhao, although it's not nice to say it like this, soul tools are ultimately just external objects. Soul guides can never compare to soul masters."

It was impossible before, it's impossible now, and it's even more impossible in the future!

I understand you're resentful about the academy's arrangements back then, and I know the Soul Guidance Department promised you some good benefits, but I can guarantee that the benefits they offered definitely couldn't compare to those from our Martial Soul Department!

Yan Shaozhe waved to stop Huo Yuhao from speaking, his tone extremely confident.

"I can make two promises to you. First, I guarantee that your good friends Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao will definitely become disciples of the Martial Soul Department's inner academy in the future."

Secondly, I guarantee I will find you a 100,000-year-old soul beast whose attributes are compatible with yours, allowing you to absorb a 100,000-year-old soul ring and soul bone.

After Yan Shaozhe finished speaking, a bright smile appeared on his face, as if he could already see Huo Yuhao's shocked reaction and immediate agreement.

However, things did not turn out as he had expected.

"Dean, I don't understand what you mean. Why is it that as long as I join the Martial Soul Department, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao can enter the Inner Academy?"

"Isn't our academy always known for its fairness? Isn't this blatant favoritism? Is this fair to those students who work hard to cultivate their skills?"

Huo Yuhao looked at Yan Shaozhe with a disappointed expression, his tone full of questioning.

This question left Yan Shaozhe completely bewildered. What kind of development is this?

He had considered that Huo Yuhao would join immediately, and he had also considered that Huo Yuhao would bargain, but he had never considered that Huo Yuhao would question the fairness of the academy.

"I always thought Shrek Academy was the most sacred hall of fame for Soul Masters, but I never imagined that the Martial Soul Department was like this. It's truly disappointing!"

Huo Yuhao's voice was steady and powerful, conveying an expression of utter disappointment with the Martial Soul System.

In a college, admission by recommendation is a perfectly normal and reasonable mechanism. It can be an appreciation of genius, but it should never be a pity for the weak.

This is especially true for larger academies. Yan Shaozhe's previous words not only diminished the value of guaranteed admission but also downplayed the talents of Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao.

If they do enter the inner circle in the future, they will only be labeled with shame, and all their past efforts will be reduced to a casual "relying on connections".

Huo Yuhao's words did indeed throw Yan Shaozhe off balance, and he realized the inappropriateness of his words.

The reason he said that was because he thought the person in front of him was just a twelve-year-old child, innocent and naive, at the most innocent age.

Therefore, he wanted to use friendship to seduce or even kidnap Huo Yuhao.

But he clearly didn't expect Huo Yuhao to be so upright at such a young age. His words not only failed to deepen Huo Yuhao's goodwill, but also had the opposite effect.

Yan Shaozhe's mind raced, and he subconsciously reassured Yuhao, "Yuhao, that's not what I meant. The academy has always valued fairness above all else."

"Then why did you say that, Dean?" Huo Yuhao asked, feigning indignation and a desire to uphold justice.

"this……"

Yan Shaozhe was speechless for a moment. He was still thinking of a reason, and he had to explain why he said that, and also maintain the image of the Martial Soul System. In such a short time, he simply couldn't come up with a reasonable wording.

Just as Yan Shaozhe was at a loss, a disdainful voice rang out.

"Of course he can't say it, because that's what he thinks!"
