"Ah, no wonder. Among all those Future Scenes, when That Child led people in ascending to the Divine Realm, you, Yan Shaozhe, never had a part in it."
Xian Lin'er let out a mocking laugh and said sarcastically, "If I had encountered a teacher like that, I definitely wouldn't have brought him along either. What if he reached the Divine Realm, failed to use his brain, offended someone, and caused trouble for me?"
"Just look at my Old Man Qian. He saw That Child's potential the first time they met. That's what you call having a discerning eye!"
Hearing this, Qian Duoduo instinctively widened his eyes, his mouth stretching almost to the back of his head.
Back then, when Yan Shaozhe had fallen in love with someone else, Xian Lin'er had married him out of spite. He had joyfully taken in the Goddess, only to end up with a marriage in name only.
He had fawned over her for so many years, and this was the first time Xian Lin'er had praised him so openly in front of Yan Shaozhe! It was also the first time she had addressed him so intimately!
He really had to thank the Heavenly Screen, and thank Yuhao!
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
On his way back, Xuan Zi was piloting a Flying Soul Tool when he saw that the Heavenly Screen portrayed him as looking down on Huo Yuhao. The words escaped his mouth before he could stop them!
"What a wonderful child Yuhao is! I can barely protect and cherish him enough. How could I possibly say something like that?"
"Right! The Watcher said it himself. What was it called again—the different Universes? Different futures have different changes! So that man definitely isn't me!"
"You evil Future Xuan Zi! You might have already been tempted onto the wrong path by Evil Soul Masters, and deliberately suppressed the Shrek Prodigy! You've already earned a Path to Death!"
After making a clean Righteous Cut, Xuan Zi's gaze sharpened. "And Yan Shaozhe and Zhou Yi, those two Innately Evil brats, actually dared to suppress the Shrek Prodigy!"
"This Old Man will return and personally teach you two a lesson! I'll make you understand that you can't look down on people with your dog's eyes!"
Xuan Zi felt that after returning, he absolutely had to give Yan Shaozhe and Zhou Yi a proper lesson—and do it in front of Huo Yuhao.
After all, Huo Yuhao not taking them along when he ascended in the future was a minor matter. But if it caused Huo Yuhao to become estranged from Shrek Academy, making Shrek miss the chance to become great once more, then his sin would be enormous!
He was no longer young, and his Soul Power Level could no longer rise. He had devoted the first half of his life to the academy. Now that he ate and drank well every day, his only remaining ambition was to leave his name to posterity. He really didn't want to become a sinner of Shrek.
Just as Xuan Zi was hurrying back to Shrek while lost in wild thoughts, the newly emerged scene on the Heavenly Screen made his expression turn fierce. Unprecedented fury erupted in his eyes!
[Although Yan Shaozhe, the Martial Soul Department Dean, believed that Huo Yuhao had no value worth heavily cultivating, fortunately, Huo Yuhao had already received a promise from Qian Duoduo of the Soul Tool Department. In the end, he still obtained Core Disciple status.
However, one afternoon, after finishing his daily cultivation, Huo Yuhao went for a walk beside Sea God Lake and encountered disaster from the sky. He was attacked by a Blazing Figure that came from the direction of Lake Heart Island, flames surging all over its body.
Fortunately, at the crucial moment, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm took action and directly froze it, allowing Huo Yuhao to escape the calamity.
When Yan Shaozhe arrived afterward and recognized Huo Yuhao, he merely tossed him a Soul Ascension Pill as compensation. He also warned Huo Yuhao not to spread the matter, or he would make sure Huo Yuhao suffered for it.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, hidden within Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness, was furious.
He cursed repeatedly, "Yuhao, why not just leave? Shrek is full of trash. How can we accomplish our God Ascension Plan by staying with these vermin?!"
"Let's just leave. You're already at level twenty. We'll go straight to the Extreme North. I'll find a way to persuade the Snow Empress and Ice Empress to Sacrifice themselves for you and create your Extreme Ice Second Martial Soul!"
"Then cultivate hard for a few years. Once you become a Titled Douluo, bring back a whole set of several-hundred-thousand-year Fierce Beast Level Soul Rings and slap them in the face!"
"Today they treat you with indifference. Tomorrow, we'll make them too insignificant to reach you!"
This time, however, Huo Yuhao did not refuse immediately. Instead, he was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "Forget it, Brother Sky Dream. Don't get angry. There's still Sister Xiao Ya and Senior Brother Bei Bei here, as well as teachers and classmates who value me."
"One person's actions cannot represent Shrek."]
Beside Sea God Lake, with so many complicated gazes focused on him, Yan Shaozhe was drenched in sweat.
Good heavens. In the brief plot shown on the Heavenly Screen, he had already offended Huo Yuhao harshly twice... It could even be called bullying!
Most importantly, although Xuan Zi had also shown disdain toward Huo Yuhao, the Huo Yuhao in the Heavenly Screen did not know about it. Yan Shaozhe, on the other hand, had offended him to his face!
No wonder that in the different futures shown by the Heavenly Screen at the beginning, Huo Yuhao never brought him along when ascending to the Divine Realm. The truth had finally been revealed.
"I was probably worried about Xiaotao's condition..." Yan Shaozhe tried to defend himself, but his voice grew quieter and quieter.
Anyone with eyes could tell that he had been prejudiced against Huo Yuhao from the bottom of his heart because of that White Soul Ring. He simply did not believe that Huo Yuhao could grow.
That was why his methods had been so crude both times.
Watching his disciple attempt to argue, Mu En felt even more exhausted.
Wasn't it said that a Martial Soul's attributes affected a Soul Master's personality to a certain extent?
Xuan Zi fit the attributes of his Tao Lie Divine Ox Martial Soul perfectly. He was reckless and could eat a lot!
But with a Radiant Phoenix Martial Soul, how had you grown into this kind of disgrace? You weren't radiant, and you weren't a phoenix either!
However, just as Mu En was about to tell Yan Shaozhe to properly reflect on himself, the scene on the Heavenly Screen made everyone's expressions change dramatically!
After Dai Huabin lost to Huo Yuhao in the freshman assessment finals, he recognized Huo Yuhao's identity. Unable to accept losing to the illegitimate son he had once looked down on, he began plotting his revenge!
In a shadowy corner of Shrek City, Dai Huabin looked at the guards sent by the White Tiger Duke's Estate and issued an ominous order.
Have him return to the duke's estate and mobilize high-ranking soul masters to assassinate Huo Yuhao, completely eliminating this thorn in his side that had brought him such humiliation!
Just as the guard was about to accept the order and leave, Dai Huabin seemed to remember something. A twisted, cold smile appeared on his face as he said, "That little bastard's mother is still in the estate, right?"
"Go bring that bitch here! Then, when you deal with that little bastard, kill her right in front of him! Let him know the consequences of offending me!"
"Aren't they deeply attached as mother and son? Then I'll grant them their wish and send them on their way together!"
The next moment, the scene shifted.
On a rainy night in Shrek City, the radiance of soul skills illuminated the darkness as a figure darted through the night.
Accompanied by Huo Yuhao's anguished roar, the extreme-cold ice mist from the Tianmeng Iceworm froze everything, and the assassins from the White Tiger Duke's Estate died in an instant.
But Huo Yun'er, who had been held hostage by the assassins, had also already breathed her last.
Amid the torrential rain, Huo Yuhao knelt on the ground, clutching his mother's blood-soaked body, and let out a despairing wail.
