A Trade, Heading to the Novice Village! (New Book—Please Bookmark and Recommend)

As a Transmigrator, Huo Yuhao was most familiar with the main storyline of Shrek Academy's development.

So, he definitely intended to enter Shrek Academy. After all, running a familiar dungeon was much more convenient than pioneering one himself.

But joining the Tang Sect? Better forget it!

It was best to avoid stepping into the traps Tang Buddha had arranged!

As for Tang Ya's exemption recommendation slot, he naturally had other ways to get his hands on it.

Don't forget, Tang Ya was a foodie whose brain was wired directly to her stomach!

While Tang Ya was still staring blankly, Movie Emperor Huo Yuhao began his performance. Looking somewhat troubled, he said, "Little Ya Jie, I promised my mother that I would establish my own sect someday and become self-reliant, so..."

Tang Ya suddenly understood. "Oh, so that's how it is."

Huo Yuhao blinked and tempted her, "Little Ya Jie, how about this? Don't you like the grilled fish I make? That's my mother's secret recipe. How about I trade it with you for a Shrek Academy admission slot?"

"Although my mother told me not to pass this recipe on to outsiders, I feel like Little Ya Jie and I hit it off at first sight. Why not exchange it for that unused slot of yours? That way, Little Ya Jie, you'll be able to make grilled fish for yourself whenever you want."

At the mention of the grilled fish from earlier, Tang Ya couldn't help swallowing.

Indeed, with the Tang Sect in such a state of decline, no one would choose to join it now. Leaving that slot unused would be a waste.

Rather than wasting it for nothing, she might as well trade it for Huo Yuhao's grilled fish recipe!

Thinking of the delicious grilled fish, Tang Ya even felt her stomach grow hungry again.

So, she nodded decisively. "All right! It's a deal!"

Huo Yuhao secretly laughed in his heart. Heh, done! Not only is this girl's brain wired directly to her stomach, it's connected by a highway too. Hahaha!

Beibei, standing nearby, shook his head helplessly. But as long as Tang Ya's decision was nothing too serious, he would not oppose it.

As Tang Ya's dedicated simp, student Bei Yangyang was practically the model of a warm and caring man!

With the trade complete, the three of them headed out of the Star Dou Great Forest together. Along the way, Huo Yuhao also taught Tang Ya the method and ingredients for making grilled fish, lest she go back on her word.

After leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, Tang Ya led Huo Yuhao toward Shrek while introducing him to the situation at Shrek Academy.

Huo Yuhao listened with a calm expression, occasionally responding to her.

As a Transmigrator, even if Tang Ya had not told him, he knew Shrek's history very well.

He even knew about the tangled romantic relationships between those founders!

Ten thousand years ago, it had been founded jointly by the incest-loving master Yu Xiaogang, his good brother Flender, the four-eyed chicken who loved stealing wives, and the pretentious troublemaker Liu Erlong.

However, because they severely lacked both teaching staff and educational qualifications, they could not recruit students on a large scale. So they shamelessly waved the banner of "Shrek only teaches monsters, not ordinary people" and tricked a few little children into joining.

Then they happened to encounter the Transmigrator Tang San of that era, and only then could it be considered a success.

But to Huo Yuhao, who was also now a Transmigrator, Shrek had only one purpose.

It was the Novice Village of his early growth!

The south, west, and north gates of Shrek City could be entered and exited freely, while the East Gate alone belonged exclusively to Shrek Academy.

After leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, Huo Yuhao, led by Beibei and Tang Ya, finally arrived at the East Gate of Shrek City during enrollment.

Huo Yuhao curiously examined this legendary Novice Village and found it surprisingly lively.

At a glance, at least five thousand people had gathered here. It somewhat resembled the food streets near university towns in his previous life, with all kinds of stalls and shops spread everywhere.

Seeing Huo Yuhao curiously looking over Shrek Academy, Beibei coughed lightly. A proud look appeared on his face as he introduced, "Yuhao, you happened to catch the academy's recruitment of new students this time. With a letter of recommendation from our Tang Sect, you won't need to go through the Assessment and can enroll directly."

"If they are ordinary candidates like those people, not only do they need a letter of recommendation from at least a main city of the Three Great Empires, they must also have Soul Power above level fifteen."

"In other words, according to Shrek's admission requirements, you actually do not qualify."

Hearing this, a cold smile appeared on Huo Yuhao's face.

Soul Power above level fifteen was nothing much.

But a recommendation letter at the city lord level completely exposed Shrek Academy's true nature.

Under the guise of an academy, it was actually an institution used by various powers to consolidate resources and exchange benefits!

As for those commoners with exceptional talent, unless they attached themselves to a major power, they did not even have the qualifications to enroll.

Their only chance of entering Shrek was to become beasts of burden for some major power, then dedicate their entire lives to those powers after completing their studies!

How was this any different from Tang Buddha treating the Douluo Continent as his own private backyard? The original Huo Yuhao, when all was said and done, had also been a dog and horse raised by Tang Buddha!

And he, Huo Yuhao the Transmigrator, was determined to play things differently!

It would all begin with the Novice Village!

With Tang Ya and Beibei guaranteeing for him, Huo Yuhao smoothly entered Shrek Academy and followed Tang Ya to the registration area.

Perhaps because she had obtained Huo Yuhao's secret grilled fish recipe, Tang Ya was in an excellent mood all the way. As they walked, she introduced the academy's situation to Huo Yuhao.

It had to be said that the academy's interior was quite well arranged. Its layout somewhat resembled the universities of his previous life, with abundant, lush vegetation and an extremely high level of greenery. Huo Yuhao was fairly satisfied with the environment of this Novice Village.

However, after walking two hundred meters forward, he immediately felt that the pleasant university-campus atmosphere had been ruined by those hideous statues.

At his side, Tang Ya was still enthusiastically introducing them to Huo Yuhao.

"Yuhao, these ten statues are the founders of our Shrek Academy. The three in front are the founders of Shrek Academy: Shrek Academy's first dean, Flender; beside him is Yu Xiaogang, who was known as the 'Master' back then; and his wife, Liu Erlong."

"As for the seven behind them, they are the first generation of the Shrek Seven Devils."

At that moment, Huo Yuhao suddenly interrupted Tang Ya's introduction. He said mildly, "History has already passed. There is no need to keep talking about it. Little Ya Jie, you must understand that blind worship of history will only shackle your steps forward in the current era."

After saying that, Huo Yuhao walked down the path to the left on his own.

Below the freshmen teaching building, an old man in the twilight of his years was resting with his eyes closed. The sunlight filtering between the buildings happened to fall upon him, and the reclined chair beneath him looked rather comfortable.

He wore a gray cloth robe. The wrinkles on his face were deep enough to crush more than ten flies at once. His eyelids drooped low, as though he had nearly reached the end of his life.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes. A look of surprise appeared in his aged gaze. "Blind worship of history will only shackle your steps forward in the current era? Interesting. This young man seems far from ordinary."
