The academy's usual recruitment tricks.
The first trick.
Place your hand on the orb to test your Soul Power.
If your Soul Power didn't meet the requirements, you were eliminated on the spot.
The second trick.
Feel their legs.
Just like Tang San had a thousand years ago, when he joined Shrek Academy. After one of the instructors saw him and examined him, the instructor was greatly astonished.
Then came the leg-touching, and the instructor exclaimed in surprise, "Good bones, good constitution..."
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao didn't know what to make of it.
But just then, the system's voice abruptly rang out. "Ding! Another main quest detected. Will the host accept?"
Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow, puzzled. "What quest?"
The system replied:
[Ding! Shrek Academy's recruitment methods are too hasty, childish, and crude...] [As a result, countless promising candidates slip through the net and are lost, leaving many people with great potential to fall into obscurity.] [Therefore, the quest is as follows.] [Establish Jia Nan Academy, gather those promising candidates who slipped through the net, and make them reserve talents for the Endless Fire Territory.] [Rewards are as follows...] [Reward one: Obtain a teaching staff member — Liu Erlong (Note: teacher and private secretary version; initial Soul Power level: 78)] [Reward two: Obtain 50,000 points] [Reward three: Obtain a Heavenly Flame — Fallen Heart Flame (Child Flame)] [Reward five: The host may enter Shrek Academy and recruit teachers at will. Successful recruitment will earn the corresponding rewards (Note: rewards depend on the recruitment target)]
Huo Yuhao drew in a sharp breath when he heard the rewards the system offered. They were far too generous and tempting!
Without the slightest hesitation, Huo Yuhao immediately replied, "All right, I accept!"
With Liu Erlong around, he could entrust many things to her with peace of mind.
After all, Liu Erlong had once served as a school principal.
She had plenty of experience managing an academy.
Suddenly, Huo Yuhao thought of Liu Erlong's relationship with Yu Xiaogang and sighed inwardly. Their relationship was rather twisted.
Liu Erlong's father was Yu Xiaogang's biological second uncle.
Yu Xiaogang's father was Liu Erlong's biological eldest uncle.
They were genuinely related by blood. Did that count as incest?
Besides,
twisted romances seemed to be the norm on Douluo Continent. Liu Erlong wasn't the only example.
[Ding! Rewards one, two, and three have been delivered. The host will receive reward four after completing the establishment of Jia Nan Academy's location.]
Only then did Huo Yuhao react. He instinctively looked toward his system storage.
In an instant, Huo Yuhao drew in a sharp breath.
First, he saw Liu Erlong's figure appear in the system storage.
Liu Erlong was extremely beautiful, but her eyes were closed, and she seemed to be asleep.
That wasn't the main point, though. The main point was that Liu Erlong was currently inside a transparent nutrient pod.
She was completely naked, and her breathtaking figure was on full display...
At the same time, the system's voice rang out again.
[Ding! You may now implant knowledge into Liu Erlong. Please select the knowledge sequence.]
When Huo Yuhao heard this, another panel suddenly appeared before him.
[Liu Erlong, Gender: Female] [Soul Power: Level 78] [Martial Soul: Mutated Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon — Fire Dragon (Can conceal its Fire Dragon and Lightning attributes)] [Select corresponding upgrades] [Martial Soul Overview Knowledge Base, Spirit Hall Archives (later forcibly inherited by Shrek Academy; reading requirements are extremely strict), required points: 20,000] [Soul Tool Knowledge Base (from a thousand years in the future), required points: 30,000] [Earth Sciences (from a thousand years in the future: biology, genetics, dark matter studies, nanotechnology... required points: 100,000)]
Seeing this panel, Huo Yuhao drew in another sharp breath.
Why was there technology from Earth a thousand years in the future?
[Ding! Please make your selection.]
Huo Yuhao didn't hesitate when he heard that. He immediately selected everything.
He also wanted to see what things would be like a thousand years from now. As for the points, he'd just have to grit his teeth.
But Huo Yuhao knew it would be worth it.
Before long, after Huo Yuhao finished selecting everything, he had just over 50,000 points left.
Huo Yuhao felt a pang of regret.
Just as Huo Yuhao finished handling everything, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Hey, Yuhao, you got here pretty quickly."
The voice belonged to Tang Ya.
Huo Yuhao heard her and turned to look.
In an instant, he saw Tang Ya walking toward him with her hands behind her back.
She looked at Huo Yuhao with a delighted, surprised smile.
Beibei was still beside Tang Ya, as usual.
Beibei still wore his gentle, spring-breeze smile, but to Huo Yuhao, there seemed to be something a little strange about it.
Just then,
Beibei noticed something unusual, too. He turned to look at Jiang Nannan beside Huo Yuhao and asked, "Junior Nannan, what are you doing here? And why are you with little Yuhao? Do you know each other?"
As Beibei finished speaking, Tang Ya also noticed Jiang Nannan. Her eyes immediately lit up with delight.
At that moment, Jiang Nannan smiled at Tang Ya, then looked at Beibei and said, "I'm here with Yuhao. We met through certain circumstances and became friends."
Jiang Nannan said this to Beibei, but didn't offer any more explanation.
The reason was simple: Beibei and Xu Sanshi were close friends who told each other everything.
She didn't want to get involved with Xu Sanshi.
Hearing this, Beibei was rather surprised. He thought for a moment, then didn't say anything.
But he did plan to tell his good friend, Xu Sanshi, about what had happened here.
He knew that his friend had always liked Jiang Nannan.
Just then,
Huo Yuhao looked at Tang Ya and said, "That's right. I'm here to sign up."
Tang Ya nodded. "That's fine. You don't have to join my Tang Sect. Your Martial Soul is quite good, too. Beibei and I talked about you on the way here, and we think you should have no problem getting into the academy."
"I'll go find a relatively kind teacher to test you. That'll be a little like pulling strings, but I won't do too much. In the end, it'll still depend on your ability, Yuhao."
Tang Ya didn't hesitate for long as she spoke. She was about to head forward.
As far as Tang Ya was concerned, even if Huo Yuhao didn't join the Tang Sect, she still liked him as a little brother.
At the very least, Huo Yuhao made delicious grilled fish.
But just then, Beibei chuckled and cleared his throat, stopping Tang Ya in her tracks.
Then Beibei looked at Tang Ya and said, "Tang Ya, stay here with Yuhao. I'll go find someone. I have better connections, at least."
Tang Ya heard him and agreed with a nod, without giving it much thought.
Beibei looked at Huo Yuhao and smiled again. He patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder and said, "Yuhao, don't worry. I'm really looking forward to seeing you at Shrek Academy!"
As he spoke, Beibei walked toward the crowd ahead...
At that moment, Tang Ya patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder and said, "Yuhao, don't be nervous. Whoever Beibei finds will definitely be reliable. It should be fine."
Huo Yuhao heard her, smiled, and nodded, but he didn't share her confidence.
Then Huo Yuhao thought of something. With a thought, he immediately opened up Pirated Peerless Tang Sect.
