Shrek Academy, Dormitory 108.
Wang Dong had already changed into fresh clothes and was now looking at Huo Yuhao.
"Huo Yuhao, how much longer is this guy going to keep at it? Class is starting soon. There's only half an hour left—how long are you going to meditate?"
Seeing Huo Yuhao like this, Wang Dong became a little anxious. After all, class was about to begin.
"Oh." Huo Yuhao did not directly answer Wang Dong. He merely replied with an "oh," because he was cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill. In his view, this was a crucial moment and he could not be disturbed, so that was all he said to Wang Dong.
(Just how long is that guy going to take? Every day, other than eating and sleeping, he's basically cultivating. Is cultivation the only thing in his life? He's a complete cultivation maniac!)
Wang Dong was speechless. In the end, he could only wait obediently for Huo Yuhao, since he had not expected them to be assigned to the same class.
(How much longer is this guy going to make me wait? It's already been ages. Can't he hurry up? Class is about to start, okay? He can cultivate during class if he wants to. We came to Shrek Academy to learn how to become Soul Masters and how to cultivate, didn't we?)
Wang Dong was speechless, then left directly.
"You really are a cultivation maniac. I'm not waiting for you anymore."
Wang Dong said this to Huo Yuhao before leaving. After hearing him, Huo Yuhao continued cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill, because in his eyes, it was a way to grow stronger.
Huo Yuhao wanted to become stronger so that he could one day take revenge on the White Tiger Duke Mansion and avenge his mother. More than that, he wanted to destroy the White Tiger Duke Mansion and the White Tiger Duke, and tell his biological father, White Tiger Duke Dai Hao, who he really was.
He wanted the White Tiger Duke to learn his identity, regret not treating Huo Yun'er well, and then face destruction.
But the problem was that from the moment Huo Yuhao caught Tang San's attention, revenge became impossible for him. He could not even hold fast to his original heart, becoming directly immersed in the world of romance. As expected of a slave's son, feudal servile thinking had seeped into his bones.
If Huo Yuhao had backbone, wished for revenge, and had been determined to see it through rather than allowing feudal servile thinking to seep into his bones, he might have been a good child who avenged his mother and accomplished great things. But the problem was that servility had already seeped into his bones.
On top of that, he was trapped by romantic feelings and forgot his hatred. It was truly ridiculous.
Before long, Huo Yuhao finished cultivating and immediately ran to Class One, their classroom.
Wang Dong was very popular in the class. After all, he was a very handsome "boy" who had captured the hearts of many girls.
After seeing how popular Wang Dong was with girls, Huo Yuhao did not know what to say. He also hoped that girls would like him and that he could become friends with many people. He quickly took his seat, and then the teacher arrived.
The teacher looked somewhat old.
"My name is Zhou Yi. Let me tell all of you my rules: anyone who cannot pass the assessment is trash, worthless. What I intend to cultivate are monsters. Only monsters are qualified to be cultivated. If you fail the assessment, then wait to be expelled."
After Zhou Yi finished speaking, Huo Yuhao knew who she was. She was the very strict teacher Beibei and Tang Ya had mentioned, and also the teacher who sent the most students into the Inner Court.
(So this is Teacher Zhou Yi, the strict teacher Big Brother Beibei and Teacher Xiaoya mentioned. But that's good for me. As long as she can help me take revenge on the White Tiger Duke and make me stronger, what does being strict matter?)
Huo Yuhao had one trait that no one could deny: he could endure hardship. But the problem was that hardship was meant to make him stronger. In the early stages, Huo Yuhao endured hardship to grow stronger, but later, it became all for Tang Wutong.
"Those who got into fights within a few days of enrolling, stand up," Zhou Yi said.
"There probably aren't many people who started fighting just days after enrolling, right?"
Some students said this at the time.
Then Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao stood up.
"Wang Dong? That's Wang Dong? He's so handsome. He got into a fight on his very first day here—so he's a troublemaker too?"
"I remember this one is called Huo Yuhao, and he shares a dorm with Wang Dong. Did they fight as soon as they arrived? He looks pretty good too. How is he also a violent troublemaker?"
After Teacher Zhou saw the two stand up, she immediately said, "Other than these two, everyone else, go to the field and run laps at once. Run one hundred laps. Anyone who does not finish will be expelled immediately."
"What?!"
"Is this teacher crazy? The ones who fought don't have to run, while those who didn't fight have to run laps? What's the point of that? And shouldn't people who fight right after arriving at school be the ones punished with running?"
Zhou Yi said nothing. She merely revealed her Soul Rings. A six-ringed Soul Emperor—none of the students dared say another word.
"Let me tell you this: I am your homeroom teacher. I have the authority to expel you. I will say it again—I only cultivate monsters, not trash."
The students did not dare say anything. Even their strongest students had not surpassed two-ringed Soul Grandmasters, so they could only obey and leave.
Meanwhile, Zhong Kui had finally enrolled successfully.
"Zhong Kui, correct? We welcome a genius like you very much. May I ask whether you attended any other Soul Master Academy before this? For example, Shrek Academy, the continent's famed number-one holy land, or any other academy in the Douluo Three Kingdoms?"
After hearing this from the academy teacher, Zhong Kui answered honestly, "Before this, I learned Soul Master knowledge and cultivated with my parents. I never joined any academy. I mainly learned through my parents' teachings. Then, after I surpassed the Soul King rank and became stronger than my parents, I began growing stronger on my own and figuring things out myself."
"So you are entirely self-taught, then? You have not received much formal Soul Master training?"
"That is indeed the case. I have not received much Soul Master training. I am basically self-taught."
"Then we will train you from scratch. Since you are self-taught, there is much formal Soul Master knowledge you do not understand, so you must start from the beginning. Is that a problem?"
"Not at all."
After hearing this from the teacher of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy, Zhong Kui agreed with it. After all, he had not received formal academy training in this world and was merely self-taught.
Starting from scratch was the right choice. Only then could he make up for the knowledge he lacked.
