Shrek Academy Can Lose, and That Will Be That
Looking at Xu Jiujiu's face, which was so shocked that he almost lost his composure, Huo Yuhao smiled slightly.
"Princess Jiujiu has a good eye," he said, pointing to the cylindrical objects on the ground. "These are three level-six Fixed Soul Guidance Shell."
Of course, Huo Yuhao wouldn't tell her that this was just a practice project he made when he had nothing else to do.
Creating a level-six Soul Tool is a piece of cake for him now.
The Spirit Eyes Martial Soul is like having a cheat code when it comes to creating Soul Tool, allowing him to achieve twice the results with half the effort.
Huo Yuhao then added, his tone still calm, "By the way, I made all of these."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Jiujiu's eyes widened even more!
The expression on that stunningly beautiful face could no longer be described as "shock".
Her eyes were wide open, her mouth agape, as if she were frozen in place.
"You did this?!"
A moment later, her voice rose another notch.
Fixed Soul Guidance Shell are contraband that the Sun Moon Empire strictly prohibits from selling to the original Three Douluo Kingdoms; they are the source of their pride and confidence.
Therefore, the technology of Fixed Soul Guidance Shell was a top secret even in the original Three Douluo Kingdoms.
While there are certainly a handful of people who possess this skill, there are only a very few.
However, the Fixed Soul Guidance Shell -Fixed Soul Guidance Shell produced by these people were also outdated and far less powerful than those of the Sun Moon Empire.
And now, Huo Yuhao, a boy who looks no more than eleven or twelve years old, is actually saying that he made these Fixed Soul Guidance Shells!
What does this tell us?
This shows that he not only mastered this skill, but was also a genuine Level 6 Soul Engineer!
Regardless of her identity, it was enough for Princess Xu Jiujiu of the Star Luo Empire to give her the highest level of attention.
After all, she wasn't like those traditional Soul Master at the Shrek Academy who looked down on Soul Tool.
She knew better than anyone how terrifyingly powerful Soul Tool could be in enhancing an army's strength!
After a short while, Xu Jiujiu finally calmed down.
She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, trying to calm her wildly beating heart.
When those beautiful eyes looked at Huo Yuhao again, their expression was completely different.
If Huo Yuhao was merely a remarkably talented young man in her eyes before, someone worth investing in and befriending in advance...
Huo Yuhao is now qualified to be courted by the Star Luo Empire by any means necessary.
Xu Jiujiu, her expression became much more serious. She looked directly into Huo Yuhao's eyes and asked, "How do you want to cooperate?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao knew that the other party was already interested.
"I can supply far more Soul Tool than just these." His voice was calm, yet it exuded a powerful confidence. "There are many more Soul Tool that have never appeared in this world before."
Huo Yuhao possesses knowledge of Soul Tool from ten thousand years in the future. In terms of Soul Tool technology, he would absolutely crush the current Sun Moon Empire.
Those forward-thinking concepts, those ingenious designs, those unbelievable ideas—any one of them would be enough to leave the Soul Engineer of this era speechless.
Xu Jiujiu did not immediately believe Huo Yuhao's words.
She's not the kind of person who's easily swayed by a few words; she won't jump to conclusions about things she hasn't seen with her own eyes.
But that's okay.
The technology of Fixed Soul Guidance Shell is enough to establish the basis for cooperation.
The others can be verified gradually.
After pondering for Xu Jiujiu, I asked a very practical question.
"Cooperation on Soul Tool is possible," she said, her gaze falling on Huo Yuhao, "But you're only one person, so I'm afraid you can't provide many Soul Tool, right?"
Huo Yuhao smiled, a smile that revealed a sense of composure.
"That's absolutely right!"
"However, Princess Jiujiu's interest must extend beyond just the Soul Tool I can provide, right?"
He paused, staring intently for Xu Jiujiu.
"And my skills."
Xu Jiujiu also admitted directly and decisively. "That's right!"
But then she asked, somewhat surprised, "Are you willing to share your technology?"
Huo Yuhao smiled mysteriously, a smile that held a profound meaning.
"That depends on Princess Jiujiu's sincerity."
"If I'm satisfied, teaching the Star Luo Empire some Soul Tool Technology wouldn't be a problem."
These words were spoken casually, yet they sent a slight tremor through Xu Jiujiu's heart.
She took a deep breath and asked again, "So what do you want?"
Huo Yuhao did not make a direct request.
"No rush, after all, we've only just started working together."
After saying this, Huo Yuhao stood up.
"It's a pleasure to meet Princess Jiujiu today."
"I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration in the future."
"I must take my leave now."
Xu Jiujiu quickly got up to see him off.
The two reached the doorway, where she stopped, a polite smile on her face.
"Looking forward to seeing Young Master again."
Huo Yuhao nodded and turned to leave.
The footsteps gradually faded away, eventually disappearing at the end of the corridor.
Xu Jiujiu stood at the door, watching the disappearing figure, his smile slowly fading.
She frowned and couldn't help but snort.
"Indeed, he's extraordinary!"
Looking back on their previous conversation, she suddenly realized that Huo Yuhao had unknowingly taken control of the situation.
On his way back to the Star Emperor Hotel from the auction, Huo Yuhao was also thinking about this meeting.
Being able to establish a connection with the Star Luo Imperial Family is indeed a pleasant surprise.
This would be a great help, both for his plans to leave Shrek Academy and for resolving the feud with the White Tiger Duke Mansion that he would soon have to deal with.
As he walked, he mentally planned out his next steps.
After returning to the hotel, Huo Yuhao wanted to immediately check on his precious carving knife.
He was very curious about what the Blade of Life looked like.
But his plans were interrupted once again.
There was an extra person in the suite on the top floor, which belonged to the Shrek Academy.
And this person was none other than Xuan Zi, who had returned from the Shrek Academy!
Huo Yuhao's gaze fell on him, and he paused slightly.
Compared to the previous Xuan Zi, who was slovenly but exuded a carefree and casual vibe, he has changed a lot now.
Not only was she much cleaner overall, with neat clothes and meticulously combed hair, but her demeanor also seemed more composed.
Those earthy yellow eyes no longer held their former turbidity; instead, they held an indescribable solemnity.
Huo Yuhao merely glanced at him indifferently and said nothing more.
He still remembered what had happened before.
At this moment, Wang Yan spoke up.
"Yuhao, Xuan Zi has brought back a message from the academy."
"This time, the academy will not send anyone to participate."
"So, the Shrek Team only has eight of you left."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but scoff.
That smile carried a hint of mockery and a touch of self-deprecation.
"Does this mean they're convinced I can lead the academy team to victory?"
He said this with great confidence, as if the hopes of the academy rested on his shoulders alone.
However, neither Xuan Zi nor Wang Yan refuted this.
Because that is indeed the case.
Although Huo Yuhao is only Soul King, he has this ability.
Xuan Zi then looked at Huo Yuhao and slowly spoke.
His face, which was much cleaner, carried a hint of solemnity.
"Mu En said," his voice was low and hoarse, "It all depends on your wishes. If you're unwilling to take action..."
"If Shrek Academy loses, then so be it."
