From behind, Xiao Xiao trotted over and asked with concern on his face.
With Xiao Xiao taking the lead, the other seniors also came over and understood what she meant, even Dai Yuheng.
Wang Dong smiled and said to everyone's concern, "Thank you, everyone. I'm fine. If time didn't allow it, I would have wanted to challenge Huo Yuhao in a one-on-one duel."
"Haha." Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere became much more harmonious.
Looking at Wang Dong’s stubborn expression, he was obviously not convinced by yesterday’s competition.
Huo Yuhao glanced at someone.
"Yes, you are full of energy and spirit."
Two more figures walked out of the school gate, they were Xuan Zi and Wang Yan.
Everyone saluted Xuan Zi, who waved his hand and said, "I've already said that I don't need to follow these complicated etiquettes. Okay, everyone gather around, and let's talk while we walk."
Hearing this, everyone slowly approached.
Zhang Lexuan and Wang Yan walked on each side of Xuanzi.
Xuan Zi waved his hand and a stream of soul power was released, moving as he walked, mainly to block the sound from leaking out.
Suddenly, Xuan Zi's eyes turned serious. "Seven little guys in the reserve team, you must listen carefully. What I am going to say next is related to your future direction in the academy."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the seven members of the home team immediately became solemn, even Ma Xiaotao, who had the most eccentric personality, was the same, and there seemed to be a hint of glory on her face.
The seven members of the reserve team looked at each other, and finally listened attentively.
Xuan Zi said in a deep voice: "The academy has been established for ten thousand years, and the inner courtyard has been established for six thousand years. But until today, the number of students in the inner courtyard has never exceeded eighty at its peak, and at its lowest point, there were only thirty-three left. Do you know why?"
"Some people graduated, and some people died, dying on a special and glorious path." Huo Yuhao answered Xuanzi's question.
After hearing the second half of Huo Yuhao's words, everyone in the reserve team was shocked.
Everyone on the home team had complicated expressions.
"Yu Hao is right." There was a hint of sigh in Xuanzi's voice, "Except for the students who successfully graduated, the reason why the number of students in the inner courtyard is never too large is that they died."
"Our world is not peaceful. There are countless killings everywhere. Innocent people die every day. Some die because of exploitation by noble officials, some die because of evil spirit masters, and some die because of murder and looting by desperate criminals."
"And the responsibilities of us inner courtyard students include dealing with these dark things, and when dealing with these things, danger will also accompany us."
"The Shrek Inner Court is a name that everyone is familiar with, but in fact, the Inner Court has another special name, called the Supervisory Group. We are responsible for monitoring all illegal activities on Douluo Continent. We, the Supervisory Group, are like a sword hanging over the heads of all evil people."
"What you don't know is that every student from the outer academy who wants to join the inner academy needs to make a choice, which is whether they are willing to become a member of the Supervisory Group. This is why there are quite a few students graduating from the outer academy every year, but only a few who eventually join the inner academy. It's not that they are not good enough, but that the responsibility is too heavy."
"Now, I need to ask you in advance whether you are willing to become a member of the Supervisory Group. Logically, I shouldn't ask you now, but if you join the reserve team, you will be given the title of Shrek Seven Devils. This title is serious and represents the importance the academy attaches to you."
"So you need to ask in advance. Of course, it's okay if you don't want to join. After all, everyone has their own thoughts. Now I'll give you a minute to think about it. If you don't want to, just return to the academy. Don't feel burdened. No one will blame you, because this path is difficult to choose."
The seven members of the main team and Xuan Zi, Zhang Lexuan and Wang Yan all fell silent, waiting for the response from the reserve team.
Huo Yuhao had countless complaints in his mind, but they were all gone at this moment. He would have to improve the Supervisory Group’s strengths and weaknesses in the future, just like why he wanted to join Shrek Academy, because as long as he grew up, he could change everything.
Shrek Academy's reputation has deteriorated and there are many problems, but now that he is here, Shrek's future will definitely be different.
"I am willing."
Huo Yuhao was stunned when two voices of willingness were heard. It was Jiang Nannan who shouted with him. This girl had a rare look of determination on her face.
Yes, she grew up in a poor family and had seen too much oppression of the common people by the nobles.
"We would like that too."
The next moment, the remaining five people spoke at the same time, their voices firm.
"Okay, okay." Xuan Zi laughed. "I'm sure you're also wondering why we have to set off now when there are still ten days before the competition starts. This is because we are going to go to the Xingluo Empire to complete an inspection mission."
"Le Xuan, hand over the equipment of the Supervisory Group to these kids."
Zhang Lexuan's eyes swept across everyone's faces with admiration. As a hint of silver-white soul power flashed from her white fingers, seven exquisite rings suddenly appeared.
Everyone in the reserve team received a ring. At first glance, the ring surface was engraved with a lifelike head of the Shrek little monster.
Zhang Lexuan said, "This is the Monitoring Ring. It contains our exclusive clothes, masks, cloaks, and distress flares. Put a drop of blood on the ring, and from now on the ring will belong to you exclusively. No one else can use it."
"This time the mission location is in the Mingdou Mountains, which borders the Xingluo Empire and the Sun-Moon Empire. Our goal is to eliminate a group of bandits who do all kinds of evil, called the Hand of Death. There are about 300 of them. According to intelligence, there is an evil soul master called the Messenger of Death among these bandits, so the mission is not small in terms of danger."
"Due to time constraints, we only have four days to act. I need to remind you that our order is to annihilate this group of bandits and leave no one alive, so when you kill someone, remember to be ruthless. If possible, don't forget to finish them off."
kill?
Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao breathed heavily. Let alone killing anyone, they had never even killed a chicken.
Zhang Lexuan glanced at the two of them but didn't say anything. She used to be like this. It was not until she chopped off the enemy's head with her own hands that she was free from fear.
"This mission was sent by the local garrison of the Xingluo Empire. After we arrive, they will provide the necessary assistance. Now we are ready to set off."
After saying that, Zhang Lexuan glanced at Xuanzi.
Xuan Zi nodded, "You people in the inner courtyard run on your own, I will take these children and follow you."
"what?"
Ma Xiaotao and the others were stunned. Shouldn't it be their main team running with the reserve team? Why did it change?
Zhang Lexuan looked at Xuanzi thoughtfully.
Xuan Zi naturally did not explain. He waved his hand and strands of soul power spread out, then turned into a chain-like existence, connecting the seven people in Huo Yuhao's reserve team and Wang Yan.
"Do we not have to run anymore?" Xu Sanshi's eyes lit up with joy.
Zhang Lexuan chuckled and said, "No, Master Xuan is just assisting you in running, that doesn't mean you don't run."
Xu Sanshi was helpless, he was most afraid of running.
Soon, all seven members of the main team took action and ran towards the target location at a very fast speed. It was obvious that the seven of them were used to it.
Zhang Lexuan followed them.
"Little monsters, it's time for us to get going. Let's run."
Xuan Zi smiled slightly, and he and Wang Yan floated in the air.
"Let's run, everyone." Beibei smiled and was the first to run.
Soon, everyone followed suit.
I don’t know why, maybe it was the help of Master Xuan’s soul power chain, but they ran very lightly. Even Xu Sanshi and He Caitou, who were very heavy, could feel a sense of relief.
They ran for dozens of miles. Whenever they felt a little tired, a strong soul power would help them run.
In fact, this was a special gift from Xuanzi and was not included in the original book.
These chains contain elemental energy of earth attribute. As long as Huo Yuhao and the others run, this energy will continuously flow into their bodies, helping their bodies to slowly strengthen. However, this strengthening will not happen overnight, but will gradually change over the following days.
Huo Yuhao was enjoying this double boost, because when he felt a little tired, a ray of the Ice Emperor's original power would flow into his body, strengthening everything about him.
While running, he was also thinking whether to kill the messenger of death directly or control him.
He needed to place someone within the Holy Spirit Church, and Nana from the Sun-Moon Empire was obviously not suitable because she was not evil enough nor cruel enough.
As for Tang Ya, that is not necessary.
Finally, they ran until noon, and Xuanzi said, "Everyone, take a rest and eat at the river a few kilometers away. After we get organized, we will continue our journey."
Hearing the soul power transmission, the seven members of the main team nodded.
Ma Xiaotao suddenly started to speed up, saying, "Let's see who gets there first. The last one to arrive must say 'You're awesome!' to everyone who arrived first."
Ma Xiaotao leaped more than ten meters in one step, fully demonstrating his strong strength. Hearing his words, others also began to speed up secretly. These ways of playing are the fun of being teammates, otherwise running the whole time would be too boring.
"Boring." Ling Luochen glanced at Ma Xiaotao's back, but his feet accelerated in vain and he soon surpassed Yao Haoxuan and Gong Yangmo.
The brothers' mouths twitched, "Didn't you say you were bored? Why are you running so fast?"
Ling Luochen ignored them both.
"We are not in a hurry, take it slow..." Yao Haoxuan pursed his lips, turned his head and was about to say something to Gong Yangmo, but before he could turn around completely, Gong Yangmo accelerated instantly and left him more than ten meters away.
"Fuck, are you trying to be dirty? Wait for me." Yao Haoxuan was furious and quickly accelerated to catch up.
Zhang Lexuan pursed her red lips with a hint of a smile. She hadn't felt so relaxed for a long time.
The forest is next to a stream with clear water. The mountain breeze blows from afar, making the leaves rustle.
When Huo Yuhao and his companions arrived, their breathing was not too rapid, but they were still covered in sweat. However, compared to their companions' exhaustion, Huo Yuhao looked comfortable, and he seemed to be happy despite his tiredness.
"You are awesome, you are awesome."
Suddenly, just when everyone in the reserve team had just landed and was sitting down or lying down, they heard an unwilling shout. Everyone turned their heads and saw Ma Xiaotao and others standing happily in a row, while Yao Haoxuan said bitterly to everyone, "You're awesome!"
"What are they doing?" Jiang Nannan asked, panting and holding onto a tree.
"It's just a fun game between teammates." Xiao Xiao sat on the stone exhausted. Her cultivation was the weakest here, and she was the weakest after running for so long.
"Do not."
Xu Sanshi's face became serious, and Jiang Nannan was stunned.
"You're awesome! This is the highest honor among men. You don't understand."
Xu Sanshi added word by word.
Jiang Nannan's pretty face was filled with surprise, and she subconsciously looked at Beibei, only to see that Beibei also nodded very solemnly.
Similarly, Huo Yuhao and He Caitou also nodded, expressing their agreement with Xu Sanshi's words.
"What the hell, is that it? How can this be the highest honor?" Wang Dong didn't understand how these four words could be the highest honor in the male world.
“Although we don’t know why, it is the highest honor and no one can change it.” Huo Yuhao said in a deep voice.
Wang Dong pursed his lips, but no words came out of his mouth.
Chapter 143 Have you ever seen a dead spirit more holy than an angel?
【11000 words】
After Yao Haoxuan said "You're awesome" to the other six members of the home team, he quickly came to Huo Yuhao and said, "Yuhao, it's time to eat and rest now, why don't you help me get some grilled fish? You know how unpalatable tiger fish meat is."
"Does everyone want to eat grilled fish?"
Huo Yuhao said to everyone.
"I do." Xiao Xiao suddenly revived with full health, jumping up and down and raising his hands, extremely excited. It seemed that he had been craving for this for a long time.
Among the people present, the only ones who were not familiar with Huo Yuhao’s grilled fish were Wang Yan, Dai Yueheng, Gong Yangmo, Jiang Nannan, Xu Sanshi and He Caitou.
When the others heard that there would be grilled fish to eat, they naturally agreed.
Zhang Lexuan immediately suggested to let Beibei go to the stream to catch fish. Beibei has a martial spirit with lightning attributes, so he is very good at catching fish.
Ma Xiaotao was responsible for making a fire on the spot, Chen Zifeng and Yao Haoxuan went to pick up some wood, and Dai Yuheng and Ling Luochen went to catch some game.
"slow."
Just when everyone was about to take action, Huo Yuhao stopped them all.
Everyone looked at him in confusion. Huo Yuhao smiled and said, “No need for game. I prepared the firewood and fish yesterday.”
As he spoke, under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Huo Yuhao first took out a huge square metal table, then spread out a tablecloth. Then, like a certain blue fat man, he directly took out an oversized plate from his storage ring and placed it on the metal table.
When everyone's eyes fell on the plate, they were stunned. It turned out to be a whole roasted lamb that was still steaming.
Zhang Lexuan, one of the deputy team leaders, couldn't help but ask, "Yuhao, did you go to the cafeteria yesterday to prepare this?"
“Yes, Senior Sister.” Huo Yuhao nodded and said with a smile, “This roasted whole lamb weighs 40 kilograms. I asked the cafeteria aunt to prepare two of them. You can eat as much as you want. In addition, I also prepared some other refreshing side dishes.”
As he spoke, Huo Yuhao took out a bunch of cold dishes.
Like smashed cucumber, lemon boneless chicken feet...
He did this himself.
At the same time, he took out an ice bucket and a large pile of firewood.
There were about twenty processed snow fish in the ice bucket. Each of these fish was sold for one gold soul coin, and he got them from a special fish shop.
Everyone looked at Huo Yuhao's operation and fell into silence.
"What smells so good?"
Suddenly, a figure appeared beside Huo Yuhao like a ghost.
Isn’t it Xuan Zi?
