This kid may be small, but his mind is anything but! Mu Jin grabbed Huo Yuhao, who was trying to burrow into her chest, her face flushing red, and casually tossed him aside.
"Teacher Mu, I've passed the entrance examination," Huo Yuhao immediately scrambled up and reported shamelessly.
"Ahem." Mu Jin coughed in annoyance, then shifted her attention to the two girls, Wu Feng and Ning Tian, beside him. "I didn't expect to find a successor of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect among this year's new students. I've really found a treasure."
"Hello, Teacher," Ning Tian took the lead and bowed to Mu Jin. Wu Feng immediately followed suit.
"Good. When you enroll, remember to sign up for my class, First Year, Class Nine," Mu Jin said, taking out three sets of academy uniforms from her storage soul tool and distributing them to the three of them, not forgetting to add the reminder.
"Teacher, I want to know if the class number is related to the overall strength level?" Wu Feng tilted her head, and though she looked a little dim-witted, she asked the most crucial question.
Only Huo Yuhao, with his god's-eye view, knew that in three months, they would face their first assessment after entering Shrek Academy. Only by passing that assessment could they officially become first-year students and truly become members of Shrek Academy.
Finally, the new students who passed the assessment would form four classes, and only then would the ranking truly be divided according to the overall level of the class. At that time, the teacher of the team that won the new student assessment championship would see their status rise, becoming the head teacher of Class One of the first year.
"I was born a student of Teacher Mu, and I will die a ghost of Teacher Mu. Even as a ghost, I'll be a romantic one! I'm going to the new students' Class Nine!" Huo Yuhao immediately put on a tragic expression of one bravely facing death, which made Mu Jin want to kick this shameless fellow into the air. However, considering that this guy would most likely get even more excited, Mu Jin ultimately resisted the urge to lift her leg.
Unlike Wu Feng, who showed disdain for Huo Yuhao's performance, Ning Tian was very clear that a person like Huo Yuhao would not act without benefit. Don't be fooled by his cheerful and laughing appearance; in the end, you would find that he was the biggest winner.
Therefore, go all-in!
"Teacher Mu, I am also willing to join Class Nine," Ning Tian said respectfully.
Seeing that Ning Tian had also joined this class, Wu Feng had no choice but to follow.
This girl is quite interesting. Not bad! Huo Yuhao met Ning Tian's scrutinizing gaze and couldn't help but praise her silently in his heart.
New students who passed the entrance examination could be taken away by a teacher on duty to handle the enrollment procedures on the spot, or they could be randomly assigned by the academy. In the original plot, Huo Yuhao was assigned to Zhou Yi's Class One.
Since boys and girls were different, Huo Yuhao went to the dormitory building alone.
He paid ten gold soul coins to receive his badge and dormitory key. Looking at the new student badge number, which was completely different from the one in his memory, Huo Yuhao relaxed. This time, he wouldn't end up in the same dormitory as the Tang God-King's cross-dressing daughter.
Passing between the white new student teaching building and the yellow second and third-year teaching building, Huo Yuhao saw the dormitory building. The dormitory building occupied a very large area. Although it was one building, it also had four colors: white, yellow, purple, and black. It was clear that these represented the residential areas for students of different grades from the four teaching buildings. It was a total of six stories high.
Huo Yuhao arrived at the entrance of the white building. An old man who looked to be of a very advanced age was sitting here. The old man was wearing a gray cloth robe, and the wrinkles on his face were enough to simultaneously clamp to death more than a dozen flies. His eyes were dim and yellow, and his eyelids were drooping, giving him the appearance of someone in their declining years. The sunlight between the buildings happened to shine on him, and the semi-reclining chair he was in looked very comfortable.
Huo Yuhao had a deep impression of this old man. The contemporary master of Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion, the Dragon God Douluo Mu En, one of the few Limit Douluo of the current era, an absolute top-tier expert.
Dragon God Douluo, isn't he afraid that this title will clash with that future Dragon God? Oh, right, that one doesn't have the word "Douluo" in their title.
Huo Yuhao walked forward and said respectfully, "Hello, old grandfather. I am a new student, here to check into the dormitory. Do you need to check my new student badge?"
Huo Yuhao quite admired the Dragon God Douluo, Mu En. The old man could be considered one of the few insightful people in Shrek. He was far-sighted, and in his twilight years, he had taught Huo Yuhao with all his heart. Even after his death, the single wisp of his remnant soul still chose to burn everything to provide Huo Yuhao with the most critical help when he was condensing his yin-yang complementary twin soul cores.
The old man seemed to see through to the admiration for him deep in Huo Yuhao's eyes. His slightly closed eyes changed a little. He stretched out a trembling right hand, and a somewhat hoarse, low voice sounded, "Let me see the badge and dormitory key."
Huo Yuhao hurriedly handed them over.
The old man waved them in front of his eyes and then returned them to him. "Go on. Dormitory sixty-six is the ninth room on the right on the first floor. The fourth floor and above are the girls' dormitories. You can't go up. If you are discovered, you will be expelled."
"Thank you, sir," Huo Yuhao said, bowing to the old man again before walking into the dormitory building.
The old man remained in his original position, muttering, "Is this the Holy Son that Xiaoyao spoke of? He doesn't seem to be the vicious person I imagined."
While he was speaking, a few more new students walked past here, but they clearly did not notice the old man next to the building's entrance and went straight in. The old man did not stop them either, just sat there drowsily.
Huo Yuhao followed Mu En's directions and quickly found his dormitory. The student dormitories were corridor-style buildings, with dormitory doors on both sides of a long hallway, with numbers on the doors. It was clear that the interior of the dormitory building was already somewhat old and had been used for who knows how many years. There was a communal washroom at each end of the corridor.
"Grandma's bear, this is worse than my middle school dormitory when I was studying," Huo Yuhao didn't forget to complain in his heart. He used the key to open the lock, and a gust of somewhat turbid air rushed out. Huo Yuhao hurriedly stepped aside, waited for a while, then held his breath and rushed in to open the window. This room had been unoccupied for at least a month. There was a layer of dust everywhere...
Huo Yuhao instantly lost the desire to move in. It wasn't that he was lazy and unwilling to clean, but that he was dissatisfied with Shrek's attitude towards new students.
The daughters and young masters of other families, even descendants of royalty, come here with money to enroll, and you give them such a terrible living environment?
You can say the academy advocates for diligence and frugality, and you can say the academy tempers one's will, but what is the meaning of the student dormitories of the esteemed number one academy on the continent being this dirty? Huo Yuhao refused to believe that the entire Shrek Academy couldn't find a few water-attribute soul masters to do the cleaning.
Filled with resentment, Huo Yuhao let out a few turbid breaths and came out of the dormitory building resentfully, just in time to run into the equally displeased Ning Tian and Wu Feng.
"What a coincidence. Is the accommodation to your liking?" Huo Yuhao went up with a cheeky smile and greeted them.
"It's unlivable! This broken place is filthy. I even found something left behind by the last female student under the bed..." Wu Feng immediately started cursing, but her subsequent words were blocked by Ning Tian's hand, which prevented her image from collapsing completely.
Beside Ning Tian and Wu Feng was another girl with a delicate and gentle face, forming a sharp contrast with Wu Feng. She had long, light green hair cascading down her back, and her dark green eyes were full of gentleness. That soft and weak feeling made people unconsciously feel a sense of pity.
Hmm, this should be that supporting character, Nanmen Yun'er. A agility-attack type soul master who goes offline after a few chapters, the owner of the Jadeite Green Sparrow martial soul. This made Huo Yuhao think of a type of soul beast from the subsequent Douluo series that made countless soul masters and even soul beasts tremble with fear—the Jadeite Demon Bird.
If Nanmen Yun'er could have just rubbed off a little of the protagonist group's halo, her martial soul should have been able to undergo a second awakening and become a Jadeite Demon Bird.
The Jadeite Demon Bird, one of the most cruel of the bird-type soul beasts. This soul beast moved like lightning, its speed far surpassing the speed of sound. It grew by sucking the brains of various creatures and was the most terrifying killer of an era.
The dormitory Nanmen Yun'er was assigned to was even worse. Even the bed board was mysteriously broken. Heaven knows what the new students of the previous year had done in the dormitory.
"The new school year doesn't officially start for another three days. Let's go to Shrek City and buy a house," Ning Tian coughed lightly and was the first to make this suggestion, which immediately elicited a chorus of agreement.
As the young sect master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the thing she lacked the least was gold soul coins. Nanmen Yun'er also didn't seem like a child from an ordinary family. Even Huo Yuhao, when he left the Holy Ghost Cult, had brazenly asked Zhongli Wu for one hundred million gold soul coins. Of course, how the Holy Ghost Cult got that money was none of his business.
The four of them left the academy and entered Shrek City. Unexpectedly, no matter how much money Ning Tian offered, the Shrek City officials prohibited outsiders from buying property in the city.
Helpless, the four of them could only look for a rental.
And recently happened to be the period when all qualified young soul masters on the continent came to Shrek to register for the entrance examination. Not to mention children of the same age, the accompanying parents and sect elders also needed a place to stay, so all sorts of rental housing were overflowing with people.
It wasn't until evening that the four of them managed to find a two-person room in a remote building in the city.
Huo Yuhao's expression was strange. There's such a good thing?
"Ahem, Huo Yuhao, why don't you put up with it and go back to the academy for a few days? The three of us can squeeze in here," This rental was found by Huo Yuhao first, using his Spiritual Detection, after the four of them had split up. Ning Tian was quite embarrassed when she said this.
"I won't! I found this place after exhausting my spiritual power!" Huo Yuhao would not go back to live there even if it killed him. His face instantly flushed red, as if he had suffered a great injustice. Who knows what he was thinking of to make him blush like that.
"How about... the four of us just make do for now?" Nanmen Yun'er was the easiest to talk to. She also felt a little bad about making Huo Yuhao go straight back to the academy.
"That's right! We're still young, what are you afraid of?" Huo Yuhao stuck out his neck, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.
Even Wu Feng, who was protective of Ning Tian, couldn't say much. She had a fiery temper and had been running around the city all day. She was exhausted and definitely couldn't be made to return to the academy now.
Ning Tian was an auxiliary soul master, and her stamina was even worse.
"Let's live together!" Huo Yuhao grinned, revealing his white teeth.
