Dai Huabin Makes a Fool of Himself

"An astonishing 3,350 meters in radius, and time stopped throughout that entire area. It even lasted four seconds." Du Weilun nearly bit his tongue.

Never underestimate those brief four seconds. On a battlefield, four seconds were more than enough to turn the tide of a major battle.

Huo Yuhao had a Body Martial Soul, and everyone knew that Body Martial Souls could undergo a Second Awakening.

Huo Yuhao had become a hot commodity in an instant. Yan Shaozhe was very pleased with Huo Yuhao's abilities. He was far more valuable than the son of the White Tiger Duke.

"Thank you, Dean Yan. This is my older sister, Huo Yunxue. She'd like to apply to the Inner Courtyard." Huo Yuhao ushered Qian Renxue in front of the two men.

"Oh?" Yan Shaozhe studied Huo Yunxue and nodded slightly. "Applying to the Inner Courtyard is very difficult. Your younger brother was admitted because of his talent, but our academy holds every applicant to the Inner Courtyard to a high standard. Are you prepared?"

Qian Renxue nodded slightly, her voice firm. "No matter what difficulties I face, I'll overcome them!"

Shrek Academy had a profound history and possessed advanced Soul Master principles that had led the way into a new era. Qian Renxue had joined the academy for precisely those things, and also to grow stronger with the help of its resources.

Yan Shaozhe nodded, then turned to Du Weilun. "All right, Weilun. Take Huo Yuhao inside. As for Huo Yunxue, she'll come with me."

Yan Shaozhe immediately led Qian Renxue toward Shrek Academy. Huo Yuhao and Qian Renxue agreed on a place to meet that evening, then went their separate ways.

As Huo Yuhao entered Shrek Academy, the statues of the First Generation Shrek Seven Devils came into view. Among them were statues of his ancestors, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, as well as Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu.

The most eye-catching statue was Tang San's. His long hair fell over his shoulders, and his eyes were deep and penetrating. Huo Yuhao met his gaze for a moment, then followed Du Weilun.

"Yuhao, those are the First Generation Shrek Seven Devils of our academy. They made a name for themselves at the All Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament ten thousand years ago. Once you start studying here, you should take them as your role models!"

Huo Yuhao nodded. "I will."

If he'd still been living ten thousand years ago, he believed he could have gotten to know them.

Huo Yuhao followed Du Weilun to collect two uniforms, a dormitory key, and a white New Student Badge. After pointing out the New Student Dormitory Building, Du Weilun left.

With that, the new student registration process was temporarily over.

Huo Yuhao went to the Public Notice Board and found his class assignment: New Student Class One. His eyelid twitched. A sign from fate.

The New Student Dormitory Building was easy to spot. Its white exterior stood out from its surroundings.

Huo Yuhao carried his uniforms to the white entrance, where an old man sitting there immediately caught his attention.

The old man was very elderly and wore gray cloth robes. Wrinkles piled up on his face, deep enough to trap a mosquito. His eyes were lowered and yellowed. Reclining in his chair beneath the warm sun, he squinted comfortably.

Mu En, Sea God Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy, one of the three Limit Douluo in the world, and the Dragon God Douluo.

The old man's identity was obvious. Huo Yuhao stepped forward and greeted him respectfully. "Hello, Grandpa."

Mu En glanced up at him, a peculiar glint passing through his eyes. He nodded almost imperceptibly. "Give me your badge and dormitory key."

Huo Yuhao quickly handed them over. Mu En looked them over, then returned them. "Dormitory 203 is the third room up the stairs on the right. The fourth floor and above are for girls. If you're caught peeking, you'll be expelled immediately."

"Thank you for the warning. Goodbye, Grandpa!" Huo Yuhao bowed to Mu En, then hurried upstairs as directed.

Mu En watched Huo Yuhao walk away and murmured, "An Eye Martial Soul, with time and spiritual attributes. A ten-thousand-year Third Soul Ring, with a coverage radius of 3,350 meters. What an interesting little monster. If Du Busi finds out, he'll come right over to snatch him up!"

Before long, Mu En opened his eyes again and looked toward Sea God Lake, his gaze filled with shock.

By the Lakeside of Sea God Lake, Qian Renxue held the Angel Sacred Sword as a pair of golden Angel Wings unfurled behind her. The appearance of her Six Winged Angel Martial Soul drew gasps from everyone present.

As expected, Qian Renxue smoothly joined the Inner Courtyard of Shrek Academy.

Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao went upstairs and unlocked the dormitory door.

The dormitory was tiny, about ten square meters. Two beds stood against the wall, and aside from them, there was only a table and a metal cabinet for clothes.

Huo Yuhao glanced around the empty dormitory, wondering who his roommate would be. As long as it wasn't Wang Dong, he'd be fine.

He waited in the dormitory until noon, then headed to the Canteen for lunch.

Meals at the Canteen cost money. Aside from the ten Gold Soul Coin registration fee, nearly every facility at the academy charged a fee. It really was no wonder that the academy had been founded by the shrewd businessman Flender.

With Qian Renxue, his rich older sister, Huo Yuhao certainly wasn't short on money. He took out a large gold brick and slapped it onto the Canteen counter, then ordered the most expensive meal. The server used tongs to snip off a piece of the brick.

The academy wouldn't open until tomorrow, so he had nothing planned for the afternoon. After wandering around the academy and quickly familiarizing himself with its layout, Huo Yuhao returned to the New Student Dormitory.

After exchanging greetings with Mu En as usual, Huo Yuhao went upstairs.

But the moment he unlocked the dormitory door, bloodshot veins appeared in his eyes.

Huo Yuhao's new roommate was a broad-shouldered young man with shoulder-length blond hair and heterochromatic eyes. He was about the same height as Huo Yuhao. It was none other than Dai Huabin, Huo Yuhao's older brother in name.

Enemies on a Narrow Road!

Dai Huabin had naturally noticed Huo Yuhao. He looked him up and down, and when he saw Huo Yuhao's plain clothes, a hint of disdain appeared in his eyes. He folded his arms across his chest and snorted. "From today on, you're in charge of cleaning the dormitory."

Huo Yuhao stared at Dai Huabin and said coldly, "From now on, this dormitory is mine. Get out!"

Dai Huabin froze for a moment, then flew into a rage. "You bastard! Are you ordering me around?"

"I'm just treating you the way you treated me."

Huo Yuhao dodged to the side. Dai Huabin swept his right hand across, and the instant his tiger claw struck the ground, dust billowed into the air.

The dormitory had been unoccupied for a long time, which was why Dai Huabin had spoken to Huo Yuhao in such a commanding tone.

Dai Huabin had never imagined that this unfamiliar kid would dare defy him. Having been spoiled since childhood, he naturally wanted to teach him a lesson.

"Bastard! I'll show you what I can do!" Dai Huabin let out a deep tiger's roar. Two yellow Soul Rings and one purple Soul Ring appeared beneath his feet, and a Milky White Light Sphere shot from his mouth.
