Shrek City, North City Gate.
Beibei and Tang Ya returned from the Star Dou Great Forest, bringing the naive and ignorant Huo Yuhao to register at the academy.
Holding the Tang Sect invitation in his hand, Huo Yuhao gazed at the continent's number one academy, hardly daring to believe that he would one day be able to study here.
Without Teacher Xiaoya, he probably would have died in the Star Dou Great Forest.
But fortunately, he had been lucky. Not only had he not died in the Star Dou Great Forest, but he had also received Teacher Xiaoya's invitation to join the Tang Sect, along with an invitation from the continent's number one academy.
The thought of growing here in the future filled Huo Yuhao with an inexplicable yearning.
The moment he turned around, he saw Dai Huabin bullying the Luo Tianba brothers, wanting to become their elder brother.
At his side, Beibei smiled and said, "Yuhao, your Soul Power Level and soul rings would be considered below average in the Outer Court. You need to cultivate diligently before the end of this term, or you'll still be eliminated from the academy and can only develop our Tang Sect's businesses in Shrek."
Huo Yuhao's eyes were filled with determination as he nodded. "Senior brother, I won't disappoint you all. I'll definitely stay through my own efforts."
Beibei's eyes were full of approval at that. "Then senior brother looks forward to your performance. If you're bullied after enrolling, remember to come find me. Senior brother can settle anything for you."
Huo Yuhao's heart warmed. For some reason, he felt that senior brother was simply too good to him.
Not only had senior brother given him the cultivation methods for the Mysterious Heaven Skill and Purple Demon Eye, but he also treated him like a true brother.
Whenever Huo Yuhao thought of his days in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, he felt that everyone outside the Duke Mansion was a good person.
At that moment, Tang Ya scolded Beibei with some displeasure. "Beibei, Junior Brother is only going in to study. You're putting too much pressure on him. You'll harm Junior Brother like this."
"Yes, yes, my mistake."
Beibei did not want to argue with his girlfriend, and even his tone softened.
While they spoke, Huo Yuhao had already submitted his enrollment invitation to the admissions teacher. Though he did not meet the admission requirements, he held a Tang Sect invitation, which was enough to get him in through the back door.
Before long, the three of them entered the new student Teaching Building and received dormitory keys and new student uniforms.
Just then, fourteen-and-a-half-year-old Qian Chaoyun also emerged from the new student Teaching Building, an Outer Court uniform in hand, and happened to run into Beibei and Tang Ya.
He had come out from the Inner Court and had not expected to run into them by such coincidence.
"Long time no see!"
Qian Chaoyun greeted Beibei with a smile.
Beibei was one of the people he disliked the least. The man's personal charm was truly off the charts. Aside from the conflict between their ancestors, they could still be considered friends now.
Beibei was rather surprised and smiled. "Long time no see, Chaoyun."
Tang Ya blinked and said softly, "Ah! You're already a Soul King? Your Soul Power has risen so insanely fast. In just a year and a half, you've become someone I can only look up to. You were still a Soul Ancestor the last time we met."
"Weren't you already cultivating in the Inner Court? Why did you come to train in the Outer Court? Don't tell me you got kicked out?"
Tang Ya was still as bad at speaking as ever... Qian Chaoyun grumbled inwardly before replying with a smile, "It was senior sister's arrangement. I'm training in the Outer Court for a while first. Later, I'll still have to complete the Inner Court Disciple assessment before I can be considered an Inner Court Disciple. Right now, I'm the same as you."
"I see..."
Tang Ya found it somewhat regrettable. She had not expected that even someone as outstandingly talented as Qian Chaoyun had yet to enter the Inner Court. She had even less chance of doing so in the future.
At that moment, Beibei interrupted their conversation and brought Huo Yuhao over. "Chaoyun, let me introduce you. This is our Tang Sect's Junior Brother, Huo Yuhao."
"So you're Huo Yuhao!" Qian Chaoyun examined the plain-looking little fellow.
"Senior, do you know me?"
Huo Yuhao asked in surprise, unable to recall such a person from his memories.
Qian Chaoyun casually said, "I've never heard of you. This is just our first meeting."
Huo Yuhao gave an "oh," having thought the other party knew him.
Afterward, they chatted for a while longer. Qian Chaoyun took out a piece of Whale Rubber from his Storage Soul Tool and gave it to Huo Yuhao. "A small gift. Take it."
"This... is for me?"
Huo Yuhao stared at the Whale Rubber in his hand in disbelief.
This thing was far too precious.
Qian Chaoyun said, "I've eaten too much of it. This piece isn't worth much, so I'm giving it to you."
Without another word, Huo Yuhao bowed deeply to Qian Chaoyun. "Thank you, Senior Chaoyun. You're such a good person."
Qian Chaoyun waved with a smile, then strode away and vanished from the sight of Huo Yuhao and the other two.
For some reason, after taking an opportunity that belonged to Huo Yuhao, he always wanted to compensate him. That had to be because his sense of righteousness was too strong.
The early Huo Yuhao really was much like a kind-hearted child.
At this moment.
Huo Yuhao and the other two stood where they were, looking at the little gift in his hand with strange expressions.
Beibei said seriously, "Yuhao, you have to hold tightly onto this senior's thigh. What he gave you is Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber, and its value is beyond measure. Even at our academy's Treasure Appraisal Meeting, it could fetch the price of a Soul Bone."
Huo Yuhao's mind buzzed upon hearing that.
He had originally thought it was truly just a small gift. He had never expected it to be so valuable, even comparable to a Soul Bone.
Senior Chaoyun was more of a biological father to him than his actual biological father.
Tang Ya was also full of envy. "Yuhao, don't even mention it. This thing can only be considered precious in his eyes. If you knew his background and his story, you'd definitely be shocked."
"Teacher Xiaoya, I want to hear it." Huo Yuhao looked at her expectantly.
"Fine."
Seeing how interested Huo Yuhao was, Tang Ya had not wanted to speak about him, but she could only continue. "Qian Chaoyun is the Personal Disciple of one of our academy's Resident Elders. He is a direct descendant of Angel God Qian Renxue and possesses the Sacred Angel martial soul. He was born with six wings."
"A year ago, he had just reached four rings. In a little over a year, he went from four rings to Five Rings, and now he is nearly at six rings. Both effort and martial soul are indispensable."
"Within a single year, Qian Chaoyun accepted no fewer than thirty Inner Court missions and uprooted more than a dozen Evil Spirit Master hideouts. He hates Evil Spirit Masters like an enemy. Even if you aren't an Evil Spirit Master, as long as you have Evil Aura, he'll classify you as one. He never shows mercy when he acts."
"Too many Evil Spirit Masters died by his hand that year. He would rather kill by mistake than let one go, and he became the nightmare of Evil Spirit Masters. Because of that, the Inner Courtyard Male Students dislike him. Most male students are unwilling to talk much with him, afraid that he might draw his sword the next second."
"Apparently, he also has several words of wisdom that he often repeats, so he won't let himself sink into a world of sin."
The more Huo Yuhao heard, the more he admired him. He had not expected Senior to have such a glorious history.
Wasn't this an Evil Soul Master Slaughter Machine?
He felt that Senior Chaoyun was incredibly impressive and decided that he would take him as a role model in the future.
Then Huo Yuhao thought of those final words and asked, "Teacher Xiaoya, what words of wisdom are they? I want to hear them."
Tang Ya had just been about to speak, but thinking that it might influence her Junior Brother, she rapped Huo Yuhao on the head and snapped, "At your age, you should be learning good things. Don't let Qian Chaoyun influence you. You're a kind person."
Huo Yuhao became even more interested, but seeing that Teacher Xiaoya was angry, he decided not to keep asking.
At that moment, Beibei stifled a laugh and said, "Since Xiaoya doesn't want to say it, I'll tell you. It's actually quite interesting, but Junior Brother, don't imitate him."
Huo Yuhao nodded like a pecking chick, his eyes full of anticipation.
Beibei cleared his throat and said, "The first line: Once an Evil Spirit Master, always an Evil Spirit Master. Since you're an Evil Spirit Master, you deserve to die."
"The second line: Humility? What is humility? Go discuss it with my Angel Holy Sword."
"The third line: Whether you're an Evil Spirit Master isn't up to you. If I think you're an Evil Spirit Master, then you're an Evil Spirit Master."
"There were also several classic scenes. For example, the last time an Inner Court Student carried out a mission with him, he personally saw an utterly wicked Evil Spirit Master kneel and beg Qian Chaoyun for mercy. But do you know what Qian Chaoyun said?"
"Qian Chaoyun said: Even if you beg me, I won't let you go. Then he cut off the man's head with one strike."
