The Teaching Gap Between Shrek and the Sun Moon

Shrek Academy, Dormitory 108.

Wang Dong had already finished dressing by this time, and once ready, he stared at Huo Yuhao.

"Huo Yuhao, how much longer are you going to keep this up? Class is starting soon, there's only half an hour left, how much longer are you going to sit in meditation?"

Watching Huo Yuhao in this state, Wang Dong felt a bit anxious; after all, class was almost upon them.

"Oh." Huo Yuhao did not directly answer Wang Dong's question at this moment, merely replying with an "Oh." To him, he was currently cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill, and in his view, this was a critical moment that could not be interrupted, hence his curt response to Wang Dong.

(That guy, just how long does he intend to wait? Every day it's either eating, sleeping, or basically just cultivating. Is his life nothing but cultivation? He's a cultivation maniac!)

Wang Dong was left speechless, and subsequently, he had no choice but to wait honestly for Huo Yuhao, as he had never expected to be assigned to the same class as him.

(Just how long is this guy going to take? It's already been a long time, can't he hurry up? Class is starting soon, alright? If you want to cultivate, you can do it in class too; after all, we came to Shrek Academy to learn how to become Soul Masters, how to cultivate!)

Wang Dong was speechless, and shortly after, he simply left.

"You really are a cultivation maniac, I'm not waiting for you anymore."

Wang Dong said this to Huo Yuhao before leaving. Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao simply continued cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill, as in his eyes, this was the only way to become stronger.

Huo Yuhao wanted to become strong so that he could eventually take revenge on the White Tiger Duke Mansion, settle the score for his mother, and even destroy the White Tiger Duke Mansion and the White Tiger Duke himself, revealing his identity to his biological father, Dai Hao.

He wanted the White Tiger Duke to know his identity and regret why he hadn't treated Huo Yun'er well, only to be met with destruction.

But the problem was, from the moment Huo Yuhao was targeted by Tang San, his revenge became impossible. Moreover, he couldn't even maintain his original intent, becoming directly addicted to a world of romance; one could only say that he was worthy of being a slave's son, his feudal, servile mindset ingrained deep into his marrow.

If Huo Yuhao had been a man of backbone, hoping for revenge and absolutely determined to see it through to the end without being corrupted by that feudal servility, he might have been a good son who avenged his mother and achieved great things. But the problem was, his servility was deep in his marrow.

And he was trapped by romantic entanglements, forgetting his hatred—it was truly laughable.

Soon, Huo Yuhao finished his cultivation and immediately ran toward Class One, which was their classroom.

Wang Dong was very popular in this class; after all, he was a very handsome "boy" who had captured the hearts of many girls.

Seeing how popular Wang Dong was with the girls, Huo Yuhao didn't know what to say. He also hoped to be popular with girls and to make many friends. He quickly sat in his seat, and then, the teacher arrived.

The teacher looked a bit old.

"My name is Zhou Yi. Here, I will tell all of you my rules: anyone who cannot pass the assessment is trash, a waste. I am here to cultivate monsters; only monsters are qualified to be trained. If you don't pass the assessment, just wait to be expelled."

After Zhou Yi finished this sentence, Huo Yuhao knew who she was—the very strict teacher Beibei and Tang Ya had mentioned, the teacher who sent the most students into the Inner Court.

(So this teacher is Zhou Yi, the strict one Big Brother Beibei and Teacher Tang Ya talked about. But for me, this is good. As long as it allows me to take revenge on the White Tiger Duke Mansion and makes me stronger, what does a little strictness matter?)

Huo Yuhao had one trait that no one could deny: he could endure hardship. But the problem was that his endurance was meant for strength. Huo Yuhao endured hardship early on to become strong, but later, it turned into doing it for Tang Wutong.

"Those who got into a fight at the academy only a few days after enrollment, stand up," Zhou Yi said.

"There shouldn't be many people who got into a fight just a few days after signing up, right?"

Some students whispered this at the time.

Then, Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao stood up.

"Wang Dong? Is that person Wang Dong? He looks so good-looking. He fought on the very first day? Was he a troublemaker too?"

"I remember this person is called Huo Yuhao, he's in the same dorm as Wang Dong. Did they fight right from the start? He looks decent too, how is he a violent person?"

Seeing the two stand up, Teacher Zhou said directly: "Except for these two, everyone else go to the track and run 100 laps immediately. If you don't finish, you're expelled."

"What?!"

"Is this teacher crazy? Why don't the ones who fought have to run, and the ones who didn't have to run laps? And shouldn't the ones who fought on their first day be the ones punished with running?"

Zhou Yi didn't say anything else, simply revealing her soul rings—a six-ring Soul Emperor—and the students dared not say another word.

"I'm telling you now, I am your homeroom teacher, and I have the authority to expel you. I am here to tell you that I only cultivate monsters, not waste."

The students dared not speak; even the strongest among them was not yet a two-ring Soul Grand Master, so they could only obey and go.

On the other side, Zhong Kui had finally successfully enrolled.

"Zhong Kui, right? We welcome a genius like you. I would like to ask, have you joined any other Soul Master academy before this? For example, the famous first holy land on the continent, Shrek Academy, or other academies in the Douluo Three Kingdoms?"

Upon hearing the academy teacher say this, Zhong Kui confessed: "Before this, I learned Soul Master knowledge and grew stronger with my parents. I haven't joined any academy; I basically relied on my parents' guidance. After I surpassed the Soul King level, I became stronger than my parents, and I began to grow stronger on my own, exploring by myself."

"So, you're entirely self-taught? You haven't received much orthodox training as a Soul Master?"

"That is indeed the case. I haven't received much training; I'm basically self-taught."

"Then we will train you from scratch. Because you are self-taught, you are unaware of many orthodox Soul Master concepts, so you must start from the beginning. No problem with that, right?"

"No problem at all."

After hearing the teacher from the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy say this, Zhong Kui agreed. After all, he hadn't received any orthodox academy training in this world; he was just self-taught.

Starting from scratch was the right choice, as it was the only way to fill in the gaps in his knowledge.
