Zhou Yi Makes Her Entrance, and Shrek Academy's Distinctive Uniforms...

It had to be said: that pirated Peerless Tang Sect, with its 30 million words, was truly something else.

The usual sex scenes and men killing women had somehow reached new heights.

But Huo Yuhao didn't have time to read that. He immediately started reading about Wang Dong, the Clear Sky Sect, and Mu En.

First of all.

Mu En knew Wang Dong's identity.

After all, a level-99 powerhouse could see it at a glance.

But what came next was something that seemed a little strange compared to the original.

Whenever Mu En had nothing better to do, he liked to lounge around among the new students in the Outer Academy, claiming it was to soak up their youthful energy.

Huo Yuhao had no comment on that.

But Mu En knew Wang Dong was a girl and still let her move into the boys' dormitory at Shrek Academy.

Then, by sheer coincidence, and under the mysterious guidance of some God King, Huo Yuhao ended up in Wang Dong's dormitory.

Mu En saw all of this and did nothing.

And did it make any sense for boys and girls to share a dormitory?

That was certainly food for thought.

Meanwhile, Tang Ya started chatting with Jiang Nannan and Xiao Wu. Before long, the three of them were getting along very well.

At the same time, Jiang Nannan introduced Tang Ya to her mother, Bai Feng.

Bai Feng was gentle. She reached out and patted Tang Ya's little head.

A smile appeared on Tang Ya's face, but for some reason, her nose suddenly began to sting.

Seeing Tang Ya like this, Huo Yuhao guessed that she might have been thinking of her late parents.

Just then, Huo Yuhao suddenly sensed something and looked to the front left.

At that moment, Beibei appeared and walked over.

Beside Beibei was a stern-looking old woman.

When Tang Ya saw her, her heart jolted. "W-why is that Zhou Yi?!"

Huo Yuhao took another careful look at the "old woman."

He had to admit, that disguise was flawless.

Beibei's expression was rather grim.

He hadn't planned to seek out Zhou Yi at all. He had "other" arrangements.

But Zhou Yi had inexplicably received some sort of instruction and come straight over.

Now Zhou Yi walked right up to Huo Yuhao.

"Your name is Huo Yuhao?"

Huo Yuhao nodded. "Yes, my name is Huo Yuhao."

Zhou Yi scrutinized him for a moment before asking, "Age and Martial Soul."

Huo Yuhao answered honestly. "Eleven. My Martial Soul is my eyes."

Surprise flickered in Zhou Yi's eyes. "A Body Martial Soul. That's rare."

Then—

Zhou Yi took a Soul Power detection crystal from her Storage Soul Tool and held it out in front of Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao raised his hand. The crystal hummed, showing level sixteen.

Zhou Yi nodded slightly. As if something had occurred to her, she glanced at the heavy ruler on Huo Yuhao's back and asked, "How is this heavy ruler? Is it yours? How much does it weigh?"

Huo Yuhao didn't hesitate. He took the heavy ruler and handed it to Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi took it. A moment later, she raised an eyebrow. "Not bad. It's far beyond what someone your age should be able to handle. Even people two or three years older than you rarely have your strength. I'll take you."

Just then, Huo Yuhao looked at Xiao Wu and added, "And Xiao Wu, too."

When Zhou Yi heard Xiao Wu's name, she looked over as well. After a moment, she asked, "Martial Soul, Soul Power, and age."

Xiao Wu replied, "My Martial Soul is the Soft Bone Rabbit. My Soul Power is level fourteen, and I'm twelve."

As she spoke, Xiao Wu showed her Soul Ring. Her First Soul Ring was yellow—the optimal color.

Zhou Yi nodded and paused to consider it. A moment later, she said, "That'll do. School starts tomorrow."

As she spoke, Zhou Yi took out a dormitory room plaque and handed it to Huo Yuhao.

Then she looked at Xiao Wu and said, "Xiao Wu, I haven't arranged anything for you yet. I'll sort it out for you tomorrow."

Zhou Yi finished speaking, paused briefly, then looked at Tang Ya and Beibei before continuing.

"Beibei, Tang Ya, take Huo Yuhao and Xiao Wu to collect their uniforms and badges. School starts tomorrow."

With that, Zhou Yi turned and left.

Huo Yuhao watched Zhou Yi walk away and fell into brief thought...

Why did all these arrangements feel as if someone had planned them in advance?

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

A quarter of an hour later.

Under an ordinary tree beside the student dormitories of Shrek Academy's Outer Academy.

An old man sat in a wheelchair. He was Mu En.

Standing in front of him was Zhou Yi, who had just arrived.

"Xiao Yi, is everything arranged?"

Zhou Yi nodded. "Elder Mu, everything's arranged. Huo Yuhao has been admitted, and, as you requested, he's been placed in the designated dormitory."

Mu En nodded slightly.

Putting Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao in the same dormitory had been his doing.

In principle—

Shrek Academy didn't allow boys and girls to share a dormitory.

But some things weren't subject to principle.

Not long ago, people from the Clear Sky Sect had come to speak with him in person.

They'd asked him to accept Huo Yuhao and have him share a dormitory with Wang Dong.

In the end, Mu En had agreed to do them this favor.

After all, as long as certain things were handled carefully, no harm would come of them.

At this point, Zhou Yi continued, "By the way, Elder Mu, there was also a girl beside Huo Yuhao named Xiao Wu. She has good talent, so I accepted her too."

Mu En hesitated briefly before replying, "As long as her talent is exceptional, that's fine. As for her dormitory arrangement..."

Mu En paused, then continued.

Just put her in any girls' dormitory.

Zhou Yi nodded. After a brief pause, she asked, "Elder Mu, may I ask why you're paying so much attention to Huo Yuhao?"

Mu En smiled after a moment. He didn't answer, instead asking in return, "How's the little fellow Huo Yuhao's talent?"

Zhou Yi answered honestly, "His Martial Soul is rare, but finding a suitable Soul Ring will be difficult."

"Besides that, his physical fitness is excellent."

Mu En nodded. "Xiao Yi, Huo Yuhao's a promising talent. Just take him in. You'll learn the rest in time."

Zhou Yi thought it over briefly, then nodded.

Then she headed toward the teaching building to review the student recruitment records, thinking about how she'd have to get the lessons underway tomorrow.

But halfway there, she suddenly heard someone call, "Teacher Zhou!"

Zhou Yi stopped and saw that it was Huo Yuhao, with Xiao Wu standing beside him.

Of course, Huo Yuhao and Xiao Wu were now wearing Shrek Academy uniforms.

At Shrek Academy, first-year students wore pure white uniforms.

Second- and third-year students wore yellow.

Fourth- and fifth-year students wore purple.

Sixth-year students wore black.

Students in the Inner Academy wore red.

The school had naturally given this arrangement careful consideration.

The uniform colors were assigned according to the age of a student's Soul Rings.

White, yellow, purple, black, and red—the standard cycle had five colors.

This was one of Shrek Academy's unique features.

Zhou Yi looked at Huo Yuhao, puzzled. "What do you want?"

Without hesitation, Huo Yuhao took a small medicine bottle, poured out a milky-white pill, and held it out to Zhou Yi...
