Huo Yuhao Enters the Academy, New Student Instructor Mission

Inside the secret chamber, Senior Yu Daoyun took out the various treasures he had purchased at the auction, finally producing the vial of Dragon Blood.

Gazing at this vial of Dragon Blood, he felt the blood within his own body beginning to boil.

The seal of the Golden Dragon King required this Dragon Blood.

Without a moment's hesitation, Senior Yu Daoyun poured the Dragon Blood into the pool.

The pool instantly turned blood-red, exerting a pull upon him.

After consuming the Thousand-Year Ice Spirit Fruit, Senior Yu Daoyun leaped in without a second thought.

To bathe in Dragon Blood and shatter the seal.

This appeared dangerous, and in reality, it was not safe in the slightest.

Although the seal left behind by the Golden Dragon King within his body was incomplete and lacked the purity of the one Tang Wulin would possess ten thousand years later, it had been transmitted through the Dragon Core and was just as violent and maddening.

Yet, to become a god—a true god—this step was mandatory.

Otherwise, when the Child of Destiny emerged in a few years' time, Senior Yu Daoyun would be relegated to nothing more than a foil for him.

Thinking this, he forcibly activated the seal of the Golden Dragon King.

In an instant, a terrifying aura of the Dragon Clan surged out from within his body.

Senior Yu Daoyun's complexion shifted abruptly.

What a mother-loving pain!

Fortunately, his physical constitution was strong enough to endure it.

Time flew by, and three years passed.

Shrek Academy underwent earth-shaking changes as it opened its annual enrollment, drawing a multitude of young geniuses from every empire to study the knowledge of Soul Masters.

However, these individuals all shared one common trait: a recommendation letter from a city lord.

Without a city lord's recommendation letter, the gates of Shrek Academy would never swing open.

At the Outer Court registration desk, Huo Yuhao followed Teacher Xiao Ya to report to Shrek.

He gazed at this academy that everyone yearned for, a look of reverence appearing on his face.

He never expected that someone like him would one day be able to set foot in the number one academy on the continent.

Since he had arrived, Huo Yuhao swore that he would cultivate diligently to destroy the White Tiger Duke's Mansion and avenge his mother.

At this moment, Senior Brother Beibei, who was standing to the side, spoke up: "Little Junior Brother, you must study hard once you enter the academy. Even if others look down on you, you must not lose heart, for everyone here is a genius."

Huo Yuhao nodded and said: "Senior Brother Beibei, I will work hard."

Within his mind, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm declared that Huo Yuhao would certainly become a god, for with his—Big Brother's—assistance, the Huo Yuhao of the future would surely be a talent.

Beibei smiled and continued to guide Huo Yuhao to familiarize him with the academy.

Huo Yuhao could not help but ask: "Senior Brother Beibei, are you the strongest student of this generation? I see that all the other seniors treat you with such respect."

Beibei was stunned, then offered a bitter smile.

The strongest student? That title did not fall to him; that fellow in the Inner Court who was about the same age as Huo Yuhao had not appeared for a long time, and by now, he had likely already advanced to a Soul King.

Teacher Xiao Ya, standing nearby, responded softly: "Your Senior Brother Beibei can only be considered the strongest student of the Outer Court. The strongest student in our academy is an Inner Court senior named Yu Daoyun."

"Yu Daoyun is slightly older than you, but he is absolutely the strongest genius of our academy's new generation. He should have the strength of a five-ring Soul King by now!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao was left dumbfounded.

Had he heard correctly?

Twelve years old, a five-ring Soul King!

Shrek Academy was truly worthy of being the continent's number one academy to possess such a genius student.

However, Beibei, standing to the side, was displeased and snapped: "Xiao Ya, how have you still not forgotten Yu Daoyun? Could it be that just because of a small gift he gave you back then, you've taken a liking to him?"

"I have not! You're just overthinking it," Tang Ya immediately retorted.

Beibei let out a cold snort: "Xiao Ya, I can see that you are still hung up on Yu Daoyun. I know I am not his equal, but you don't have to bring him up in front of me; it hurts my self-esteem."

Tang Ya turned her head away and muttered: "Why are you reacting so strongly? Yu Daoyun didn't eat your rice."

Beibei immediately grew anxious.

Still talking, she was still talking!

Xiao Ya was clearly still hung up on Yu Daoyun, treating him as a backup.

What exactly was so good about that Yu Daoyun that made her so reluctant to let go?

At this time, Huo Yuhao watched the two of them arguing incessantly, suspecting that he had said the wrong thing.

The Senior Yu Daoyun mentioned by Teacher Xiao Ya seemed to have a complicated history with Senior Brother Beibei, and it even involved Teacher Xiao Ya.

He immediately stepped in front of them and said: "Teacher Xiao Ya, Senior Brother Beibei, please stop arguing. It was all my fault for saying the wrong thing."

Tang Ya angrily turned her face away, spun around, and walked off.

She was very angry now, thinking that Beibei was being foolish just like Xu Sanshi, always dwelling on groundless things.

Let him think whatever he wanted; in her heart, Yu Daoyun was the most formidable of them all.

Beibei and Huo Yuhao stood where they were, left in a state of disarray by the wind.

Beibei's heart shattered once again.

Xiao Ya still couldn't forget Yu Daoyun, no...

Sea God Pavilion, inside the quiet room.

Yu Daoyun slowly opened his eyes, brushed off his robes, and stood up.

Twelve and a half years old.

Over these three years, he had unlocked four seals of the Golden Dragon King, his soul power soaring to level fifty-five, making him a true Soul King powerhouse.

However, after unlocking the Dragon King's seals, his cultivation speed had become slower.

But there was one piece of good news: he could now freely unleash skills like the Dragon King Claw, Dragon Aura Protection, and Dragon Might Suppression.

Even when facing a six-ring or even a seven-ring soul master, he felt no fear.

This was the confidence brought by the Golden Dragon King Seal.

Soon, Yu Daoyun pushed open the door and saw Mu En, who had been basking in the sun outside for some time.

He performed a salute and said, "Elder Mu."

"Coming out of seclusion?"

Mu En looked over the Little Fellow, whose temperament had undergone a massive transformation, and praised, "Very good. A twelve-year-old Soul King, you've caught up to Xiao Tao from back in the day. And with your Ultimate Martial Soul, you will only grow stronger in the future."

"In the end, this old man's expectations were not in vain. You have given me a pleasant surprise."

Upon hearing this, Yu Daoyun felt quite pleased with himself.

Although this improvement wasn't exactly rapid, it was at least steady.

At this moment, Mu En spoke again: "The Inner Court curriculum has basically concluded. From here on, you only have the tasks of the Supervision Group. When you go out on missions in the future, you will be the captain of the Supervision Group. I am entrusting this heavy burden to you."

Yu Daoyun asked, "Then, do I start my missions now?"

Mu En shook his head, pointed toward the Outer Court, and said in a deep voice, "I still remember you once said that our Shrek teaching methods have problems, especially regarding certain individual teachers. Now, I am giving you a task."

Yu Daoyun cupped his hands and said, "Please speak, Elder Mu."

Mu En instructed, "The new students have started school, and your Inner Court courses have just finished. Starting today, you will serve as an instructor for the new students in the Outer Court. While you're at it, you can accumulate graduation credits, which will be of great help for your future succession to the position of Pavilion Master."

"If you think the teaching methods of other teachers are problematic, then go and correct those problems. This old man supports you."

Yu Daoyun's eyes lit up instantly.

Such a good assignment as teaching in the Outer Court had actually fallen into his lap.

Doesn't that mean he could criticize that old hag Zhou Yi at any time without having to bear any responsibility?

Without a second thought, Yu Daoyun agreed.

Mu En then took out an Instructor Token and handed it to Yu Daoyun.

This token symbolized the will of the Sea God Pavilion and also served as proof of Yu Daoyun's identity.

Before long, Yu Daoyun left the Sea God Pavilion and headed straight to his dormitory to pack his things, preparing to take up his post in the Outer Court.
