Even Cao Jinxuan, who had been resisting just a moment ago, was now pushing harder than anyone else, clawing through the crowd to get to the front while wailing incessantly:
"Yuhao, you absolutely cannot forget about me! I want to become a Titled Douluo too!"
Huo Yuhao scratched his head and spoke with great difficulty:
"Everyone, don't crowd! There's enough for everyone!"
Zhou Yi, standing to the side, watched the students scrambling for the excrement. Far from stopping them, she wore a look of deep admiration and encouraged them in a loud voice:
"Good! This is the mindset and perseverance a true Soul Master should have!
On the path of cultivation, one must be unscrupulous. As long as you can become stronger and reach the pinnacle, what does eating a little bit of dung matter?
In the face of absolute strength, pride is worthless!"
As soon as these words left her mouth, the students who had still felt a shred of embarrassment instantly cast aside all reservations, scrambling even more frantically.
While Zhou Yi praised the crowd, her gaze suddenly shifted, landing on Wang Dong'er, who stood at the edge of the crowd, stunned and motionless.
Everyone in the arena was fighting tooth and nail to purchase a boost to their talent, yet she alone remained aloof.
Zhou Yi's brows furrowed instantly, her expression darkening as her stern gaze locked directly onto Wang Dong'er, rebuking her coldly:
"Wang Dong'er, everyone else is fighting to improve themselves, why aren't you eating the stone?
Could it be that you don't want to improve your talent, or don't want to become stronger?
If you don't even have this much resolve, how can you become a top-tier Soul Master, and how can you hope to stand your ground in Shrek?"
Wang Dong'er stiffened, snapping back to reality as her face instantly turned flustered.
Ah?
Do I have to eat the stone too?
She hurriedly shook her head at Zhou Yi, her tone urgent and mortified:
"Teacher! I won't eat it! My talent is already excellent; I don't need to rely on this kind of thing to improve!"
She resisted this matter from the bottom of her heart.
Even if the Life Crystal had heaven-defying effects, Even if everyone else was scrambling for it, She absolutely refused to eat Huo Yuhao's excrement!
She would rather spend countless precious treasures on bitter cultivation, She would rather temper her soul power day and night, She would never touch this stuff, not even a little bit.
Eating stone or whatever, I don't want that kind of thing!
Meanwhile, the box in Huo Yuhao's hands had been emptied by the mob.
Even the last bits of crystal stuck to the walls of the box were scraped clean by quick-handed students.
The students who had consumed the Life Crystal were now sprawled out on the lawn, letting out waves of satisfied groans.
"It feels so good! I feel like I could run another hundred laps without a problem!"
"Yuhao! You are my second parent!"
"If you do not abandon me, I shall call you my foster father!"
Inside the Sea of Consciousness, Zhao Ze leaned back on a soft couch, watching the explosive scene outside. His eyes lit up, and he immediately said to Huo Yuhao:
"Yuhao, see that? This business is a guaranteed profit! You could totally set up a stall at the entrance of Shrek Academy at night to sell these!"
Huo Yuhao froze instantly, his cheeks flushing red as he said in his consciousness, feeling mortified:
"Master, do I really have to set up a stall to sell this?"
Just imagining the scene made his toes curl in embarrassment.
"Can this really be sold?
The students only ate it because they were in a rush to recover their stamina to finish Teacher Zhou's training. Would people outside actually buy it voluntarily?
I can't just stand on the street and shout for people to come eat stone, can I?"
"Why couldn't you sell it?"
Zhao Ze said with a smile.
"Look at how much your classmates are enjoying it?
What does Shrek City have the most of? Soul Masters who want to become stronger!
To improve their strength, what wouldn't they do?
Forget that this stuff smells good and has real effects; even if it were foul, as long as it could make them stronger, there would be plenty of people fighting to buy it!"
Huo Yuhao looked at his classmates outside, who were still savoring the aftertaste, and the hesitation in his heart began to dissipate, his head nodding subconsciously.
He suddenly felt that his master's idea might actually be feasible!
After the morning classes ended, the afternoon was once again dedicated to physical training.
The students who had consumed the Life Crystal were all light on their feet, remaining full of vigor even after the run, which left Zhou Yi beaming with satisfaction.
Of course, Wang Dong'er was not among them.
She refused to touch anything belonging to Huo Yuhao even if it killed her, gritting her teeth to endure the weighted run the entire time, and collapsed directly onto the plaza the moment it ended.
Soon, Zhou Yi announced the end of class.
Huo Yuhao went to the restroom once more, and after coming out, he lowered his head and walked quickly toward the gate of Shrek Academy while clutching a box.
The young man's cheeks were so red they looked ready to bleed, and his face was filled with an unconcealable sense of panic and embarrassment.
"Hmm? Why is this guy acting so sneaky?"
Not far away, Wang Dong'er, who had just caught her breath, happened to witness this scene, her powder-blue eyes filled with confusion.
School was over, yet instead of going to the cafeteria or the dormitory, he was running toward the academy gate, and with such a guilty, thief-like demeanor—there was definitely something fishy going on!
She snorted, her curiosity instantly overriding her exhaustion, and she quietly lightened her footsteps, following behind Huo Yuhao.
She wanted to see exactly what kind of outrageous thing this guy was up to!
Wang Dong'er followed Huo Yuhao all the way out of the east gate of Shrek Academy.
Outside the gate was a bustling snack street, packed with vendors, filled with the sounds of hawking, and brimming with the atmosphere of daily life.
She watched as Huo Yuhao first ducked into a nearby general store to buy a folding table and a small stool.
He also bought a wooden board, then squatted by the side of the road, hunched over the board to write and draw for a long while.
Once he set up the folding table, he hung the finished wooden sign in front of it.
He then carefully placed the box in the center of the table, sat upright on the small stool with his back straight, and waited for customers to arrive.
Wang Dong'er, hiding behind a large tree nearby, was initially full of confusion, craning her neck to see what kind of treasure he was selling.
But when she saw the words written on the wooden board, she was completely dumbfounded.
On the board, written in crooked, oversized characters, were the words:
Huo's Excrement, containing Life Crystal of extremely high purity! Can improve physique and enhance talent!
Below that was another line of larger, more conspicuous text:
If you don't even have the resolve to eat dung, how can you ever become a Titled Douluo? Come and eat dung now!!!
Wang Dong'er was left numb after reading it.
Huo Yuhao was actually selling this kind of thing at a street stall?
And he wrote such an abstract and outrageous sign?
Did he have no shame left?!
In all her years, this was the first time she had ever seen someone dare to set up a stall on the street to sell something like this.
Moreover, He was selling it with such righteous confidence!
It wasn't just her; Huo Yuhao was also feeling strange, and he asked Zhao Ze in his Sea of Consciousness:
"Master! Will anyone really come to buy this if I write it like that?"
Zhao Ze nodded with a smile:
"There certainly will be!"
At this moment, in front of the stall, the students passing by first froze upon seeing the sign, then stopped one after another to watch, the sound of their discussions instantly erupting like a boiling pot.
"Junior, have you gone crazy for money? You dare to sell excrement?"
"Eat dung to become a Titled Douluo? Are you here to pull a prank?"
"This is my first time seeing someone set up a stall to sell this stuff; it's truly an eye-opener!"
As the crowd of onlookers grew larger, Huo Yuhao opened the box at this very moment.
In an instant, a fragrant scent wafted out.
