The Bigger the Waves, the Pricier the Fish!

In truth, Zhou Yi and Yu Xiaogang were worlds apart in terms of strength.

But when it came to teaching ability, they were equally pathetic.

To some extent, Zhou Yi was even worse than Yu Xiaogang.

After making students run, Zhou Yi would only invite a healing-type Soul Master to "treat their injuries," curing their superficial fatigue.

But in essence, that actually damaged the students' perception and mental state.

This was an entirely different concept from receiving treatment after being injured.

Yu Xiaogang, on the other hand, would even prepare medicinal baths for Tang San and the others.

Though that had much to do with the fact that Shrek Academy students ten thousand years ago numbered only seven, allowing for "elite education."

Overall, each had their own brand of uselessness. Both aimed too high while being far less capable than they thought.

So Huo Yuhao absolutely could not let Zhou Yi take control of this class.

It was not that he felt any sympathy for his classmates. He simply did not want Zhou Yi to disgust him.

After everything he had experienced in his past life, the only person he truly loved now was himself.

After a thoroughly unremarkable day of classes, the students all prepared to return to their dormitories for some rest.

Huo Yuhao, however, had already left early.

Shrek Academy's main gate was Shrek City's eastern gate. Numerous vendors had always gathered outside it, and quite a few Shrek Academy students also came out to do business.

At that moment, Huo Yuhao arrived at a spot off to the side outside Shrek Academy's gates.

After taking out a grill, iron rack, seasonings, and ingredients he had prepared in advance from his Storage Soul Tool, his little stall officially opened for business.

Long Xiaoyao had not left Huo Yuhao an enormous amount of money, but it was not a small sum either. Huo Yuhao did not need to sell Grilled Fish to cover his living expenses.

The reason he still chose to grill fish was naturally not to make money.

On one hand, because he had been reborn, his body's reactions could not fully keep up with his mental abilities. As a result, Huo Yuhao often found that his mind had already reacted, but his body had not.

He had already discovered this when fighting Wang Dong.

So if Zhou Yi still forced him into that running-based training method now, it would bring Huo Yuhao nothing but harm.

That extreme running regimen would not only fail to solve the problem—it would make it worse.

That was why he had directly used his abilities to intimidate Zhou Yi.

On the other hand, continuing to grill fish would also help him rapidly build his reputation, making it easier for him to accomplish certain goals.

After all, Huo Yuhao was no longer the Huo Yuhao from his past life who could only make simple Grilled Fish.

In terms of cooking alone, he was already far better than Oscar, the God of Food.

After casually tinkering around for a while, Huo Yuhao set up a stall called "Little Huo BBQ."

Every step came naturally to him. Huo Yuhao had done it countless times before.

Only this time, he was not merely grilling fish. He was cultivating in a way that harmonized his body, mind, and Soul Power.

This was a method Huo Yuhao had specifically devised for his current physical condition. It could serve two purposes at once.

After setting up the stall, Huo Yuhao handled the barbecue ingredients and said calmly, "Come out."

The owners of several nearby stalls looked over at Huo Yuhao in surprise, but he did not raise his head and simply continued preparing the ingredients.

At that moment, two figures emerged from behind an ancient tree behind Huo Yuhao.

One had short pink-blue hair. It was Wang Dong.

The other was a somewhat petite young girl. She was not exceptionally beautiful, but her features were delicate and pleasing to the eye.

She was Xiao Xiao, the deskmate who had sat beside Huo Yuhao earlier.

Having been called out by Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong wore an awkward smile as she asked, "How did you know we were there?"

Huo Yuhao glanced at Wang Dong and said casually, "My abilities are just special."

"Tell me. Why were you following me?"

As Huo Yuhao split his attention between controlling the heat and watching the ingredients change, he questioned the two of them.

"We... um..."

Having been caught by Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong was momentarily at a loss for words.

Xiao Xiao, however, stared curiously at Huo Yuhao's movements with her beautiful emerald-green eyes.

"Are you making food?" Xiao Xiao asked.

Huo Yuhao ignored Xiao Xiao's obviously foolish question. Compared with the "cultivation that harmonized body, mind, and Soul Power" he had mentioned earlier, this was more like "cultivating his heart."

What Electrolux had said before was not wrong. Once he was Devoured by Wrath, he would no longer be himself.

He was not afraid of becoming a demon, but he feared losing himself above all else.

He did not want to endure that feeling again.

Though Huo Yuhao ignored her, Xiao Xiao did not lose interest. Her large eyes sparkled as she continued asking, "Why aren't you afraid of Teacher Zhou? Aren't you afraid she'll really expel you?"

Huo Yuhao sneered. "Isn't she only acting high and mighty by borrowing Shrek Academy's name?"

"And you two—did you secretly follow me here just to ask such unimportant questions?"

"I'm very curious about you," Xiao Xiao said bluntly.

Wang Dong's eyes widened at the side. For some reason, a wave of sourness rose in her heart, and she did not understand why she felt that way.

But Wang Dong quickly took action.

"I... I'm curious too."

Xiao Xiao glanced at Wang Dong in surprise. Wang Dong clearly looked like a handsome boy, yet at that moment, she somehow seemed a little like a girl.

Maybe she had imagined it. Xiao Xiao turned back and continued questioning Huo Yuhao. "What is your Martial Soul?"

Simply asking about someone's Martial Soul was not considered a secret among Soul Masters, so it generally would not make anyone wary.

That was why Xiao Xiao dared to ask. Such a question was simply too ordinary.

Huo Yuhao did not hide it and answered directly, "My Martial Soul is my eyes, a Spirit-Type Martial Soul. I call them Spirit Eyes."

"Eyes?" Before Xiao Xiao could react, Wang Dong quickly asked, "A Body Martial Soul?"

"Wow, that smells amazing!"

Just then, a delighted cry rang out. Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao shifted their gazes away from Huo Yuhao and saw a black-haired girl standing in front of the stall.

The girl wore a yellow school uniform, the color worn only by second- and third-year Outer Court students.

A boy who looked about her age stood beside her. He had a tall, straight build and short dark-blue hair.

His face seemed to always carry a faint smile, and he was currently watching Huo Yuhao and the others with great interest.

"Little brother, how much are your Grilled Fish? I'll buy all of these right now!"

The girl wore a drooling expression and spoke boldly.

"Five Copper Soul Coins per Grilled Fish," Huo Yuhao said calmly.
