Douluo's Peerless: Became Huo Yuhao's Golden Finger!

"Then I'll go look on the other side."

Huo Yuhao removed part of the wall of books, circled around to the other side of the tree, and even set up a Mental Power barrier.

Only then did Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao settle down to read.

The books Zhou Yi had provided this time had been carefully compiled, and many of the original passages came with annotations.

Most of them could be understood after a few readings.

They noted down anything they did not understand first. After discussing it among themselves, Zhou Yi would answer whatever still puzzled them.

Study time passed quickly.

Soon, it was time for their afternoon exercise.

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao put on their iron garments, warmed up, and prepared to run.

But Huo Yuhao pulled out a pile of iron blocks. He had asked Zhou Yi to forge them that morning, and each one weighed ten jin.

"Take off the iron garments. Those things aren't suitable for the next exercises."

"Today, we'll start with a simple twenty-jin weight load. Learn the movements from me first, then challenge your limits."

Completely bewildered, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were led by Huo Yuhao through a series of strange movements.

Jumping jacks for one minute!

—Rapidly raised the heart rate, activated the muscles throughout the body, and prepared them for the training ahead.

Two hundred push-ups per set, ten sets!

—Trained the chest muscles, anterior deltoids, and triceps.

Two hundred squats per set, ten sets!

—Trained lower-body strength and improved leg agility!

One hundred seconds of planking per set, ten sets!

—Strengthened the core muscles and gave the limbs time to rest.

All of the above was merely the warm-up.

After that came high-intensity glute bridges, burpees, lying leg raises, one-arm push-ups...

By the end of the afternoon.

A small puddle had gathered beneath each of the three of them. It was all sweat.

Not even a single finger on their bodies could move.

The workout had been far too comprehensive!

Mu En had awakened at some point and was watching them thoughtfully.

Before long.

Elder Zhuang, a Sea God Pavilion Elder, walked over. His main Martial Soul was a plant-type Martial Soul, and as a Rank 95 healing-type Super Douluo, he excelled most at healing.

Three verdant branches shot out and rested upon the three of them.

"Bzzzz—"

Nine optimal Soul Rings appeared, and the Eighth Soul Ring lit up, scattering a glow of life.

"Ah~"

"Oh~"

"Mmph~"

A few seconds later.

All the soreness in their bodies vanished, and the three of them nimbly climbed to their feet.

"Help!" Xiao Xiao wailed. "Class monitor, where did you learn these movements? They're even more torturous than running!"

"That means the workout was effective." Wang Dong mused. "Could this also be some secret teaching of the Sacred Fire Cult?"

—Since Xiao Xiao had learned the Yi Jin Jing, she had naturally joined the Sacred Fire Cult yesterday.

There was no need to hold back.

"Yeah." Huo Yuhao nodded. "It's not any core knowledge, just a summary of experience from some casual reading."

"Oh? Casual?" Elder Zhuang spoke up. "Just now, every muscle in your bodies was damaged. Even your internal organs showed varying signs of having been exercised. This is an extremely comprehensive method of physical training."

"Indeed." Mu En said, "Yuhao, you said these movements could be spread?"

Huo Yuhao understood what was going on as soon as he heard that.

Brother Lan had told him about it before, but he still asked an extra question.

Only after receiving an affirmative answer did he say, "How about the Academy establish a new course and appoint me as an honorary consultant? That way, if I spread this set of training methods—or other things in the future—I'll have a legitimate basis for doing so."

"Perhaps if we discover some promising talents, we can invite them into the Sacred Fire Cult as well."

This was Huo Yuhao's newly conceived solution that served both sides.

It could benefit Shrek's students, prevent anyone with ulterior motives from thinking he was plotting something, and allow him to gain some Luck Value.

Perfect!

"Forget honorary consultant. Just make him a specially appointed teaching assistant and give him the treatment he deserves." Mu En made the decision. "This systematic training method may seem minor, but the physique is the foundation of a Soul Master. Shrek cannot be stingy with what it should provide."

And so the matter was settled.

One week after enrolling, Huo Yuhao had the honor of becoming a specially appointed teaching assistant, with a "course" of his own.

Just like that.

Rewrite Huo Yuhao's Destiny, +8500 Luck Value!

What a huge profit!

That night.

Huo Yuhao was taken away by a strange-looking Yan Shaozhe and brought to the familiar Freshman Class One classroom.

Only this time.

He stood on the podium, while Zhou Yi and a whole roomful of teachers sat below.

"Uh, Senior Brother, what does this mean?" Huo Yuhao asked in confusion.

"What, did you really think you'd teach one class after another? Aren't you going to cultivate?" Yan Shaozhe said oddly. "Teach us teachers first. Then we'll instruct the students in the name of the new course."

Huo Yuhao suddenly understood.

Looking at the many teachers from the Martial Soul Branch below, he scratched his head awkwardly.

"Well..."

"I've never taught a class before!"

"Teacher Zhou, where do you think I should start?"

Teaching Shrek's Teachers! His First Meeting with Jiang Nannan Got Her Pregnant?

Zhou Yi, her face as stern as ever, rose to her feet as though she were a student being called on.

"No! Please sit down, Teacher Zhou!" Huo Yuhao said, flattered beyond measure. "I'm only a specially appointed teaching assistant. Everyone, just relax!"

"It's fine. Those who are more capable are the teachers." Zhou Yi said calmly. "Everyone here is an outstanding teacher. You needn't feel pressured. Say whatever comes to mind, and we'll go back and organize it into lesson plans ourselves."

Yan Shaozhe nodded in agreement.

"Junior Brother, just teach as you please. Don't worry about making mistakes."

That only put Huo Yuhao under even greater pressure!

Fortunately, he was extremely resilient under pressure and quickly adjusted his state.

First Soul Skill: Spiritual Detection Sharing!

He used Mental Power to scan and analyze his own muscle groups, then began demonstrating each movement he knew one by one.

Even individual muscle fibers were conveyed in their entirety.

Such an efficient teaching method gave the teachers all sorts of expressions.

Zhou Yi especially stared at Huo Yuhao with eyes that practically shone!

Damn it!

She had acted too late. Otherwise, she definitely would have had her husband accept him as a disciple!

Now, though.

She could only have Fan Yu submit an application to make Huo Yuhao one of the executors of that plan.

Since this was instruction rather than training.

Three repetitions of each movement were enough. By the end of one round, they were drenched in sweat, but it was still within their limits.

Rewrite Shrek Academy, Zhou Yi, Wang Yan's Destiny, +2500 Luck Value!

This time, not only Huo Yuhao—even Zhuge Lan, who had been watching from behind the screen, had not expected it.

Something exchanged for 1 Luck Value was this valuable?

Or perhaps...

Had Shrek Academy really deteriorated so much over these ten thousand years that it had failed to figure out even something so basic?

"It truly trains the body comprehensively."

Yan Shaozhe sighed—

"Shrek Academy has always boasted that it is the continent's number one, yet its focus has only been on Martial Souls and Soul Tools. Instead, it has not invested much effort into researching these basic things."

"We were blind to what was right before us."

"With Junior Brother filling in this gap today, Shrek Academy will surely flourish even more in the future."

He took the lead in applauding.

If Dean Yan was acting like this, how could the other teachers remain standing around?

Including Zhou Yi, all of them followed suit and clapped vigorously.

It left Huo Yuhao somewhat at a loss, and it was not appropriate for him to say too much in refusal.

So he could only grin foolishly and scratch his head.

"Alright." Yan Shaozhe finally said, "Junior Brother, do you have a name in mind for this course?"

Huo Yuhao had originally intended to let his Senior Brother decide.

"Call it Physical Education Class." Zhuge Lan spoke up. "Such a huge academy, yet it doesn't even have Physical Education Class. That's downright inhumane!"

Huo Yuhao did not catch the teasing undertone and relayed it honestly.

"Alright, then that will be its name." Yan Shaozhe announced. "I'll give you three days, then it will be fully implemented. It will also count toward this year's promotion assessment."

Huo Yuhao felt as though he had been granted a pardon.

After bidding farewell to Yan Shaozhe, he quickly left through the teachers' passage.

Yan Shaozhe smiled and did not follow him.

Yet Huo Yuhao was still blocked in front of his dormitory.

Meeting Tang Ya's resentful gaze, Huo Yuhao smacked his forehead.

"Oh no!"

"I forgot I promised you grilled fish, Sister Ya!"

"Sorry, Sister Ya. Too much has happened lately, and I really didn't get around to it."

"It's a little late now. How about tomo—"

"No! Right now!" Tang Ya said stubbornly. "Let's go! I prepare fish and ingredients every day!"
