But I Refuse!

On the open ground, Yan Shaozhe, the Grandmaster of drawing cakes, continuously used his ninth Soul Skill —drawing cakes.

In full view of everyone, he painted one rosy picture after another for Huo Yuhao.

These flatbreads are large and round, and look beautiful.

But I just can't eat it.

But Yan Shaozhe knew how to quench his thirst by looking at plums.

Although what he just said...

There are many things that even he doesn't believe.

But what's the problem with that?

Yan Shaozhe had already figured it out on the way here.

He came here with only one main purpose.

That was to bring Huo Yuhao into the Martial Soul Department.

Therefore, regardless of whether it's done through deception or any other means.

He doesn't care.

Anyway, let's trick Huo Yuhao into joining the Martial Soul Department first.

As long as this goal can be achieved.

Their Martial Soul Department will definitely develop rapidly in the future due to Huo Yuhao's addition, and may even continue to suppress the Soul Tool Department.

As for whether the grand promises he made earlier can be fulfilled...

We'll see when the time comes; there's still plenty of time.

Therefore, Yan Shaozhe gradually became more and more outrageous in his empty promises.

He looked at Huo Yuhao in front of him, but still didn't say a word.

But Yan Shaozhe believed that Huo Yuhao must have been shocked by what he had said.

Come to think of it, how could a kid in his early teens not be excited to hear that he might become Titled Douluo in the future and be a disciple of the dean of the Martial Soul Department of the Shrek Academy?

This made Yan Shaozhe secretly feel smug.

It seems that his identity still carries a deterrent effect.

Then, look at the envious looks on the faces of the other students around him after hearing about the pie in his sky.

Yan Shaozhe's smile grew even brighter.

This is exactly the effect I wanted!

He smiled at Huo Yuhao in front of him, and then continued:

"Huo Yuhao, I think you should know this. Yes, the Soul Engineer has developed rapidly in recent years, but for us Soul Master, our true Soul Master still lies in ourselves. Soul Tool are ultimately external forces. We should not rely on them too much."

"Besides, if you really like Soul Tool, you can try them later when you've cultivated to the Titled Douluo. I don't think there's any problem with that. But I hope you can think it through and not give up this opportunity."

"As long as you are willing to join our Martial Soul Department, our Martial Soul Department will be tilted towards you. At the same time, to express our compensation for our previous misjudgment, I can guarantee you three more things."

He held up three fingers and began to break them one by one.

"First, Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao, who cooperated with you and won the championship together in the New Student Competition, I guarantee that they will become disciples of our Martial Soul Department's Inner Court in the future, just like you."

"You must understand that Core Disciple and Inner Court Disciple are different. Not every Core Disciple can become Inner Court Disciple. And at this moment, you will hold their fate in your hands."

"Secondly, as the Dean of the Shrek Academy, I assure you that the academy will do everything in its power to equip you with all the necessary Soul Bone, and of the highest quality possible. At least one of them will be a 100,000-year-old Soul Bone."

"Third, I guarantee that you will be given at least one Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring."

"Alright, now make your choice."

After saying all that,

Yan Shaozhe remained silent.

To properly manage a student, Yan Shaozhe believes that what he needs to do is to be able to control the situation with ease.

They expressed their eagerness to recruit Huo Yuhao to their Martial Soul Department.

They also drew up many huge, round, and enormous pie-in-the-sky...

But getting this far is enough.

Continuing on like this would be unreliable.

Moreover, he is the dean of the Shrek Academy.

One also needs to be mindful of appearances.

So after he finished speaking, he stood there coolly, waiting for Huo Yuhao's reply.

Meanwhile, he kept observing the reactions of Huo Yuhao and the other trainees present.

Let's leave Huo Yuhao aside for now.

The students present were almost driven mad with envy after hearing Yan Shaozhe.

After all, this is the Outer Court of the Shrek Academy.

The students in the Outer Court are all teenagers.

They are not mature enough and have not seen much of the world.

Under these circumstances, Yan Shaozhe told them that he would give Huo Yuhao a complete set of Soul Bone in the future, add Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring to him, and even guarantee that he would become Titled Douluo.

To these students, this was truly... Thai cool!

After all, they may never get these things in their entire lives.

Right now, all Huo Yuhao has to do is accept Yan Shaozhe's invitation and join the Martial Soul Department.

These precious things are readily available.

Therefore, at this moment they really wished they could replace Huo Yuhao and directly agree to Yan Shaozhe.

That way they can eat the big, fragrant pancake that Yan Shaozhe drew.

Moreover, Yan Shaozhe has one particularly cunning trait.

That meant he gave Huo Yuhao a chance to decide Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er's future.

Before coming, he had specifically investigated Huo Yuhao and knew that he was a loyal and righteous person. While loyalty and righteousness are virtues, they can also be exploited.

That's why he gave me this opportunity just now.

It was because he knew that Huo Yuhao valued loyalty and righteousness, and because of this condition, if Huo Yuhao wanted to refuse him again, he would have to think it over carefully.

Therefore, Yan Shaozhe was filled with smugness at this moment.

He believed that Huo Yuhao would definitely grant his request.

Moreover, he did all this for the glory of the Shrek Academy for the next few hundred years. It would be a waste to let Huo Yuhao join the Soul Tool Department!

only.

Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, saw through Yan Shaozhe's scheme completely.

He is no longer the incredibly naive and easily manipulated Huo Yuhao from the original novel.

With Yan Shaozhe's petty tricks,

Huo Yuhao saw through his plan the moment he used it.

"Is this kid starting to use moral blackmail?"

"They were really dirty!"

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but curse in his heart.

Then she remembered the other two requests that Yan Shaozhe had agreed to earlier.

"As the dean of the Martial Soul Department at the Shrek Academy, I guarantee that the academy will provide you with all the necessary Soul Bone, of the highest possible quality, so that the Soul Bone you fuse with will reach the highest standard. Among them, there will be at least one Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone."

"I guarantee you'll receive at least one Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring."

Huo Yuhao was dismissive of this.

They can't even draw a clear picture of what they're doing.

What kind of Soul Bone is Huo Yuhao using now?

Golden Dragon Torso Bone!

Huo Yuhao believes that unless one possesses a Soul Bone Soul Bone of hundreds of thousands of years or at least one of the Nine Great Dragon Kings' level, they should not contact him again.

What rubbish is this?!

As for Soul Ring.

Huo Yuhao shared the same thought.

You think you can bribe him with just a mere Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring?

What a joke!

So he stopped pretending this time.

The more he looked at Yan Shaozhe's smug expression, the more dissatisfied he became.

He stated his choice directly.

"Sorry, I'm not joining the Martial Soul Department!"
