Shrek's Standard Lap

"To be honest, I was born in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. My mother Huo Yun'er was the head maid of the current White Tiger Duke. I am the White Tiger Duke's son. Dai Yueheng and Dai Huabin are the legitimate sons, while I... am nothing."

Huo Yuhao shook his head, his eyes wistful: "When I was born, due to some circumstances, I behaved like an idiot, a fool. My mother's body grew thinner day by day because of the White Tiger Duke's First Madam's harsh and spiteful retaliation."

"One day, I accidentally bumped into Dai Huabin. That guy first glared at me fiercely, then called his attendants to beat me up. It was also at that time that my mother shielded me."

"Two years later, my mother passed away, and I left the White Tiger Duke's Mansion."

After Huo Yuhao finished speaking, tears glistened in his eyes. Even as a transmigrator, encountering a mother like Huo Yun'er could not help but move him.

Qian Renxue slammed her hands on the table, her beautiful brows furrowed: "That was too easy on him! A person like that doesn't deserve to be called human!"

Qian Renxue stepped forward and pulled Huo Yuhao into her embrace, her jade hand gently patting his back.

This was the first time Huo Yuhao had poured out his heart in front of Qian Renxue. In truth, Qian Renxue's situation was not much better than Huo Yuhao's.

She had lost her father since childhood, and her mother didn't like her either. Fortunately, her grandfather was often there to accompany her.

"Alright, you still have your elder sister. It's getting late, so hurry back to the dormitory and rest." Qian Renxue ruffled Huo Yuhao's hair, messing up his black locks into a tangled mess.

Huo Yuhao watched Qian Renxue step on the waves and return to Sea God Lake, then looked up at the bright moon overhead. After a long silence, he sighed: "Dai Huabin even went and reported the matter to Dai Yueheng. Isn't he embarrassed enough?"

Huo Yuhao smiled, turned around, and returned to the New Student Dormitory.

Huo Yuhao deeply understood that to seek justice for his mother, Dai Huabin's fate was merely interest. There would be plenty of time ahead.

Because Huo Yuhao had been delayed for a long time ten thousand years ago, when he returned to ten thousand years later, it was the last day of registration at Shrek Academy.

The next day, the sun was bright.

Living alone in the dormitory, Huo Yuhao got up early. After folding the bedding and cleaning the room, he went downstairs, greeted Mu En who was lying by the door, and headed to the canteen to buy breakfast.

The first soul ring bestowed by Sky Dream Ice Silkworm contained a total of four soul skills. Two of them Huo Yuhao had already used: Time Freeze and Years Erasure.

The remaining two were a range-type soul skill, Space-Time Disorder, and another that consumed a large amount of mental power to predict the opponent's next move: Future Prediction.

Shrek Academy's Outer Court was divided into grades one through six. The color of each teaching building corresponded to a soul ring.

The white teaching building's main doors were wide open. New students wearing white school uniforms filed in orderly fashion. Huo Yuhao was among them, and from time to time, admiring glances were cast his way from other new students. Because of his battle with Dai Huabin, Huo Yuhao was subtly becoming the top contender among the new students.

New Student Class One. Huo Yuhao glanced at the sign and walked in.

At this moment, nearly half the seats in the spacious classroom were already filled. Huo Yuhao found a seat in the middle, at an angle where he could clearly see the blackboard at the front.

Sitting down, Huo Yuhao began to observe the other students. The most conspicuous was a handsome youth with powder blue short hair sitting in the very front row. Many female students had gathered around him, drawing hostile glares from the other boys in the class.

Huo Yuhao didn't let his gaze linger on Wang Dong for too long. He propped his chin on one hand and patiently waited for the bell to ring.

After his recent trip to the Extreme North, the four big shots in Huo Yuhao's Sea of Spirit had all fallen into deep slumber and had yet to awaken. It was only after his soul power reached level thirty-three that he fully realized how slow the cultivation speed of an Extreme Martial Soul was.

Before long, the bell for class rang.

The sound of high heels clicking against the floor came from outside the door, and the chatter inside the classroom instantly ceased.

It was an old woman. Her white hair was coiled on top of her head, and she wore a white robe. She had a medium build, and her black-and-white eyes were full of authority. The moment she walked into the classroom with her powerful aura, everyone's first sensation was that they couldn't breathe.

After entering the classroom, the old woman swept her gaze left and right, giving Huo Yuhao a pointed look. Then, straightening her back, she said in a grave tone: "My name is Zhou Yi, and I am your homeroom teacher for New Student Class One. I don't know how many of you will make it to the end with me, but I can tell you this: my class only cultivates monsters, not simple-minded fools!"

"Who was fighting yesterday? Stand up!"

Zhou Yi slammed the table and stood up, her powerful aura spreading through every corner of the classroom.

At that moment, everyone's gaze instinctively turned to Huo Yuhao. Expressionless, Huo Yuhao shot to his feet.

"What's your name?" Zhou Yi raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Huo Yuhao."

"Who did you fight? And why?" Zhou Yi continued.

"Dai Huabin from New Student Class Five. That kid relied on his status to make me take over the dormitory cleaning chores, so I gave him a beating and kicked him out of the dormitory. I'd rather clean and live alone than have some young master who does nothing because of his family background!" Huo Yuhao's words were sharp.

Wang Dong, sitting in the very front row, frowned slightly and let out a disdainful cold snort.

"At least you didn't disappoint me!" Zhou Yi's gaze was sharp, and a hint of amusement flashed in her eyes. The homeroom teacher of New Student Class Five, Mu Jin, had been her arch-rival since their youth. Huo Yuhao, as a student in her class and the Body Origin Martial Soul Owner who had caused a huge wave yesterday, had already drawn the academy's serious attention.

"So it's only Huo Yuhao? What a bunch of useless trash! Flender, the founder of Shrek Academy, once said that those who don't dare to cause trouble are mediocrities. Except for Huo Yuhao, all of you get out and run one hundred laps around Shrek Academy's plaza. Anyone who can't finish will be expelled immediately!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire class erupted.

One student stood up in defiance: "That's not fair, teacher! Why should we have to run? Huo Yuhao gets special treatment just for getting into a fight."

Zhou Yi narrowed her eyes, and her powerful aura instantly expanded. The appearance of Two Yellow Two Purple Two Black Soul Rings beneath her feet made every student in the room feel suffocated.

"Because I am the homeroom teacher. If you don't like it, you can get lost yourself. Let me add one more thing: I have the authority to expel students directly. Within one minute, I don't want to see any of you here, or else—expulsion!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces turned pale. Except for Huo Yuhao, all the students filed out in a rush. Soon, the spacious classroom was left with only Huo Yuhao and Zhou Yi.

"Tell me about the characteristics of your martial soul." Zhou Yi looked at Huo Yuhao and asked calmly.
