Scumbag Huo Gua

Shrek Academy.

Zhou Huan took Xuanzi and Wang Yan to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, which took less than twenty minutes in total. After returning to the academy, Zhou Huan even took a half-hour nap before starting his daily teaching.

There wasn't much to say about the afternoon's practical training; it was basically just instructing the newbies to peck at each other.

Xu Xiaomeng, on the other hand, has been very attentive and well-behaved in class these past few days. However, this little girl has been trying to keep a low profile in class, appearing shy, quiet, and adorably naive, living like a little quail. She's clearly a natural-born actress.

Aside from occasionally using her position as vice class monitor after class to ostensibly discuss class affairs with Zhou Huan, but actually pestering Zhou Huan for extra help, the girl always kept to herself.

As for Xu Xiaomeng, Zhou Huan could only fulfill the duties of a teacher and guide her; in fact, there was no special knowledge he could impart to her.

All the theoretical knowledge and practical techniques that need to be discussed will be explained in detail in class.

Ultimately, the key to Soul Master's cultivation and leveling up lies within themselves, unless they use cheat codes.

The same theory and the same practice method can be used in vastly different ways by different people. This is exactly the case with the saying, "We all received nine years of compulsory education, so why are you so outstanding?"

However, Zhou Huan could see that Xu Xiaomeng did have some talent; at least she was outstanding among this year's students.

After finishing her teaching work for the day, Zhou Huan returned to Sea God Island. Instead of going back to her dormitory, she went to Zhang Lexuan's house.

It's not because I miss my wife every day, but because there are all kinds of kitchen utensils here, so I can cook a meal myself.

Actually, the main reason was to pass the time while improving my cooking skills, so I could give Sister Lexuan a little surprise when she came back. Anyway, I had nothing else to do.

Unfortunately, the dishes I've cooked these past two days haven't turned out quite right.

Of course, with Zhou Huan's Spiritual Power, he wouldn't burn the food or leave it undercooked, but the taste just wasn't very good.

It's fair to say that Zhou Huan's cooking skills are rather lacking.

Looking at the vibrant green Little Dish Heart, the golden-brown pan-fried sea bass, and the steaming corn and pork rib stew on the table, Zhou Huan sighed, a little worried. "They look and smell so delicious, but why do they taste so mediocre?"

However, since I made these dishes myself, I have to eat them even with tears in my eyes; wasting food is shameful.

Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Who could it be so late at night?

I was knocking on Sister Lexuan's door again.

This is, after all, Sea God Island, and quite a few people live here. Zhou Huan naturally couldn't keep his divine sense constantly observing everything around him. If he saw something offensive, he'd be too embarrassed. He still had to maintain basic manners.

Therefore, in most cases, Zhou Huan lives in Shrek like an ordinary, normal person, and does not monitor everything around him just because of his strong Spiritual Power.

So Zhou Huan walked over, opened the door, and was surprised to see Huo Gua.

Zhou Huan was slightly surprised for a fraction of a second before laughing and saying, "Class monitor, your look is quite unique."

The main thing was that Huo Gua was dressed in what looked like a fisherman's outfit, with a long Seashell Necklace around his neck; anyone who didn't know better would think he had just returned from fishing.

Huo Gua didn't seem embarrassed at all, and simply explained, "I just came back from the Ice Sea, so it's normal to dress like this there. I was too lazy to change right away."

Zhou Huan nodded and said, "Hmm, it's alright. Come in, I'm eating right now, want to grab something to eat together?"

Huo Gua didn't stand on ceremony. "Okay."

After the two returned to the dining table and quietly ate a bowl of rice, Zhou Huan said, "You came in such a hurry, and even found your way here. Feel free to ask me anything."

Upon hearing this, Huo Gua put down his chopsticks, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Is it really Tang San who wants to kill you?"

Huo Gua still vividly remembers and feels even more deeply the words that resonated throughout the entire Douluo Continent five years ago, so he wants to hear the answer directly from the person involved.

Zhou Huan smiled calmly, "Strictly speaking, it was Tang Hao who attacked and killed me. However, Tang San probably also wanted to eliminate me."

Even though it was already 99% certain, Huo Gua couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart when Zhou Huan so casually confirmed it.

That was an assassination attempt by a god! How could Zhou Huan survive unscathed? Just how strong is he?

Moreover, the fact that Zhou Huan, a mere mortal, could attract the wrath of Deity suggests that he possesses something that Deity either needs or fears.

Most importantly, that Deity's surname was Tang.

The "Tang" in Tang San's name is also the "Tang" in Tang Wutong's name.

Then, thinking of Qiankun Love-Seeking Valley, and of Dong'er and Qiu'er, it seems that everything makes sense now.

Although there had been speculation for a long time, the fact that Zhou Huan was attacked and killed has now been confirmed by Zhou Huan himself, which further confirms his suspicions.

Thinking of this, Huo Gua's expression gradually became serious, and even a Gray-white Intent flashed in his eyes.

Zhou Huan immediately recognized that it wasn't the power of Soul Master, but the power of Necromancy.

Although Zhou Huan didn't understand magic and couldn't tell what level Huo Gua had reached in cultivating Necromancy (since the systems were different), he could tell that Huo Gua was now Super Douluo and his strength had improved considerably.

After a moment of silence, Huo Gua finally spoke, "Dong'er, no, Tang Wutong is Tang San's...?"

"Daughter."

Zhou Huan gave the answer directly; at this point, there was no longer any need to hide Tang Wutong's identity from Huo Gua.

Upon hearing this, Huo Gua a wry smile, "So that's how it is."

Zhou Huan didn't know what Huo Gua was thinking, so she asked, "So, have you thought of a way to turn Wang Dong'er back?"

However, Huo Gua shook his head helplessly. "She's been by my side for the past few years, and I'm almost unable to tell whether she's Dong'er or Wu Tong anymore."

Zhou Huan was speechless. "Holy crap, you haven't been turned, have you?"

You promised that no one, no matter who it is, can take Wang Dong'er away!

It's only been a few short years!

You scumbag!

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Huan was too lazy to even complain about Huo Gua anymore. After eating another small, decent-looking Little Dish Heart, she casually asked, "So that's why you didn't dare bring Tang Wutong to see me?"

Huo Gua slightly taken aback, but honestly replied, "I had some suspicions before that bringing her would only make things awkward for everyone. Although I trust you, and even for Dong'er's sake, I won't do anything to her, there's no need for her to come."

Zhou Huan: "..."

You're really something, Huo Gua! With such a high hat on your head, I'm almost embarrassed to say anything.

In fact, Zhou Huan really couldn't do anything to Tang Wutong.

In Zhou Huan's eyes, Tang Wutong was nothing more than a pitiful pawn.

As the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. When it comes to revenge, you should go after the person directly involved. Zhou Huan wouldn't stoop to the level of implicating others.
