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

Inner courtyard canteen.

Huo Yuhao looked at the dishes that Ma Xiaotao had brought over, but he couldn't name a single one of them.

His theoretical knowledge of soul beasts is absolutely extensive, but that refers to soul beasts with complete bodies. His knowledge is not applicable to soul beast delicacies that have already been served on the table.

Ma Xiaotao introduced the two dishes and one soup on the table to Huo Yuhao as if they were her own treasures.

"This stew is made with the meat of a thousand-year-old fire-spotted lion king. A fire-spotted lion must have at least five thousand years of cultivation to be called a king."

This plate of smoked meat is made from the chewiest part of the Rock Demon Rhinoceros's hind leg. This kind of soul beast takes three thousand years of cultivation to reach adulthood.

The final dish, Jade Lotus Phoenix Marrow Soup, features the marrow of a ten-thousand-year-old Tianyang Carving, rumored to possess a trace of phoenix blood, as its main ingredient. The side dish is a hundred-year-old jade lotus, a medicinal herb with extremely demanding environmental requirements.

These three dishes nourish our flesh, internal organs, and bones, respectively. Across the entire continent, only the academy can provide these resources consistently and reliably.

Ma Xiaotao spoke with a strong sense of pride, and Huo Yuhao nodded in agreement.

Shrek Academy's ability to stand strong for millennia and continue to prosper must have something commendable about it.

Ignoring the disgusting behavior of the Martial Soul system, Shrek Academy boasts the most comprehensive arena on the entire continent for students to hone their combat instincts.

We have abundant resources to train students. As long as you show enough talent, you can eat top-quality meals as you please, and you will receive a monthly stipend.

Various competitions designed for combat are emerging in large numbers, with extremely generous rewards.

Of course, the most commendable task of the inspection team must also be done, since you can't graduate from the inner academy until you complete thirty.

If Shrek Academy's Martial Soul Department didn't act in such a disgusting way, there wouldn't be any strange inspection team missions.

As a cradle that constantly weeds out the weak and selects the strong, it is absolutely qualified.

Based on what Ma Xiaotao said about the soul beasts, Huo Yuhao did a simple calculation of the price by measuring the portions and concluded that a meal for an inner court student was equivalent to a level two soul guide shield.

A level 2 Soul Guidance Shield is priced at around 600 Gold Soul Coins.

Shrek Academy would collapse the very next day without its Soul Guidance Department.

Huo Yuhao took the chopsticks from Ma Xiaotao and ate while thinking, planning to start the era of everyone using soul tools after the martial soul system was eradicated.

When the time comes, once we've developed machine tools and the like, we can make a fortune and mass-produce troops.

"Yuhao, why do you want to become a Soul Master?" Ma Xiaotao always kept in mind her mission to strengthen her relationship with Huo Yuhao, and took the initiative to start a conversation.

Huo Yuhao didn't mind Ma Xiaotao's deliberately affectionate way of addressing him and casually replied, "Because the soul tool is powerful enough and can make money enough."

"Powerful?" Ma Xiaotao frowned. "But not a single Soul Master student in the Inner Academy can beat me."

"No great soul master in the outer academy can defeat me, a level two soul master. Currently, only the Sun Moon Empire has a soul master genius who has grown to your level."

You'll be able to see it at this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament.

Speaking of this, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but think of his trip to the Mingdou Mountains later on, to that evil soul master with the most spectacular battle record in history, whose corpse explosion technique was earth-shattering and ghost-weeping.

"The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy?" Ma Xiaotao instantly understood where Huo Yuhao's talk of the Soul Master genius came from, and a confident smile appeared on her face.

"They are destined to be defeated by me."

Ma Xiaotao's confidence comes from only one thing: Huo Yuhao. Without Huo Yuhao, it would be uncertain whether she could even participate in the competition.

Now that she has the Ultimate Ice, she can fight without any worries. Ma Xiaotao is confident that she is absolutely invincible among her peers when she goes all out.

If Huo Yuhao had appeared earlier, she would definitely have been able to break through to Soul Saint before the age of twenty and break her senior sister's record.

"Perhaps." Huo Yuhao did not refute, as Ma Xiaotao's talent and strength were indeed undeniable.

In a one-on-one situation, as long as you don't throw out a level 7 absolute defense shield right at the start like the Star Luo team, you have an advantage against anyone.

"Yuhao, what do you think of our Martial Soul Department?" Ma Xiaotao asked expectantly.

She wanted to bring Huo Yuhao into the Martial Soul Department so that she could contact him under the guise of guidance and get closer to him.

"Disgusting." Huo Yuhao's unwavering answer stunned Ma Xiaotao.

This answer completely surprised Ma Xiaotao, who blurted out, "Why?"

"You know Director Du Weilun, right?" Huo Yuhao asked with obvious disdain.

"I know him." Ma Xiaotao nodded. Du Weilun had been the dean of students for twenty years, and she had seen him quite often when she was in the outer college.

Huo Yuhao recounted how Du Weilun had changed the team's name, put down his chopsticks, and looked directly at Ma Xiaotao.

"What do you call this behavior? He has no idea of ​​my role in the team, and I'll put aside the fact that he won't give me the status of a core disciple for now."

What do you think of this forced change of team name?

After hearing Huo Yuhao's explanation, Ma Xiaotao was stunned. Was there a problem with this approach? Of course, there was a big problem.

The team name is naturally the captain's name. Du Weilun's move is undoubtedly a denial of Huo Yuhao's identity as captain.

To put it nicely, it's called looking down on Huo Yuhao; to put it bluntly, it's despising Huo Yuhao as a person and denying his role in the team.

Ma Xiaotao frowned. "Director Du's approach was indeed inappropriate and unfair."

But Yuhao, you have to believe me, this is just an isolated case. Don't condemn the entire Martial Soul system because of one incident.

Ma Xiaotao tried to change Huo Yuhao's opinion on the Martial Soul system, but Huo Yuhao waved her hand to interrupt her, saying, "Just tell me, if it were you, what would you do?"

After a moment's hesitation, Ma Xiaotao replied, "If it were me, I would report him directly to the teacher and have him dismissed."

"This is something only you can do. For an ordinary person like me, all I can do is suffer."

Huo Yuhao was very satisfied with Ma Xiaotao's answer, which laid the groundwork for what he was going to say later.

Seeing that Ma Xiaotao wanted to continue promoting the virtues of the Martial Soul System, Huo Yuhao spoke first, "Do you think that Director Du is just an isolated case and cannot represent the entire Martial Soul System?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao nodded without hesitation, her eyes slightly anxious. "Director Du did make a mistake, but it's only his problem and really has nothing to do with the Martial Soul Department."

Yuhao, listen to me. I'll go tell the dean about this later and have him come and apologize to you.

Don't worry, I will absolutely keep my word. The dean is mine...

"The dean you're referring to is Dean Yan?" Before Ma Xiaotao could finish saying the word "teacher," Huo Yuhao interrupted her, his tone equally disdainful.

"That's right, Yuhao, what do you mean by that?"

It was easy to tell from Huo Yuhao's tone and expression that he was very dissatisfied with this "Dean Yan," which greatly surprised Ma Xiaotao.

Could it be that the teacher did something bad to Huo Yuhao? No, surely not?

I'm trying my best to get along with Huo Yuhao, so please don't betray me, teacher!
