"Little Yuhao, if you need fish, we can help provide some," Tang Ya said.

After all, fish were not soul beasts, but ordinary animals, as numerous as the hairs on an ox in this world.

Besides, they were not soul beasts and could be provided completely free of charge, with no need to worry at all.

Furthermore, one had to know there were plenty of fish in the oceans of Douluo Planet, and the ocean area was even larger than the mainland, so fish were exceptionally cheap. There was completely no need to worry about them being eaten up or driven to endangered species status; there was simply no cause for concern.

So this was why Tang Ya dared to say that, because this stuff was truly too cheap. Unlike soul beasts, there was no need to worry at all.

"Really? Teacher Xiaoya, Big Brother Beibei, thank you both so much. From now on, I'll reserve a portion for you every time I grill fish, and you can eat for free."

"Is there any need for that? It doesn't matter at all. You're part of our Tang Sect, and no matter what, you're a Tang Sect disciple. We certainly won't let you suffer. As long as we have a sip of soup, your share won't be left out."

*(Note: My impression of Tang Ya and Beibei in the early stages is all right, but later on it's no good. They are indeed quite good to their own people.*

*However, since they stand on Tang San's side, I can't possibly give them any good endings. After all, they're part of Tang San's faction...)*

Soon, class time arrived again, and Huo Yuhao and the others underwent another period of devilish training, except that...

The training methods Zhou Yi came up with were basically no different from the ones Yu Xiaogang came up with 10,000 years ago—fundamentally the kind of training methods that had already been eliminated, and moreover, training methods that should have been eliminated 10,000 years ago.

In those days 10,000 years ago, the training methods of Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, Star Luo Empire, Spirit Hall academies, and even the Four Elements Academies were all developed specifically targeting the students' martial souls.

The methods Yu Xiaogang devised had long been eliminated, but the problem was that Yu Xiaogang still claimed these were suitable training methods he had thought of himself.

In reality, he had no money to set up training grounds or training apparatuses, and Yu Xiaogang was no master of martial soul theory either; he was merely a plagiarist. How could he possibly have correct training methods? The reason Tang San and the others could win was entirely due to the Immortal Herbs Tang San brought, and furthermore, Tang San used cheats. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Tang San and the others to defeat Spirit Hall, nor could they have defeated Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires, or even the Four Elements Academies.

Zhou Yi didn't actually know how to train students properly. The reason she could always guarantee that her academy's students entered the Inner Court was simply because she expelled all the students without capability and kept the outstanding and obedient ones.

Moreover, this fellow was quite clever, pulling out the reputation of Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang. Because everyone knew Yu Xiaogang was Tang San's teacher, and most of the historical records left behind on Douluo Continent—or rather, the Douluo Three Kingdoms—recorded that Yu Xiaogang had trained Tang San into a god, calling Yu Xiaogang Tang San's benefactor. If Tang San hadn't met Yu Xiaogang, it would have been impossible for him to become a god in this lifetime.

The people of the Tang Sect didn't say anything. Firstly, because by the time the Tang Sect was established, the Soul Master Tournament had long since ended; a long time had passed since the end of the tournament, even several years...

And back then, the interests of Tang San and Yu Xiaogang had long been intertwined. Not understanding the inside story and unable to distinguish truth from falsehood, they chose to believe...

Tang San couldn't possibly speak the truth either. He couldn't very well say that he achieved godhood entirely on his own or relied on Immortal Herbs; none of these things could be said because back then everyone believed it was Yu Xiaogang's merit. If Tang San dared to say such a thing, it was hard to say what kind of accusations would be pinned on him.

Zhou Yi's approach was also very clever. Having no real substance of her own, she simply copied Yu Xiaogang's methods from 10,000 years ago and said, "These are Grandmaster's methods. Do you dare to refute Yu Xiaogang's theories?"

If that sentence were dared to be spoken aloud, who would dare say anything? Even the current Sea God Pavilion Master Mu En wouldn't dare say anything, because this Dragon God Douluo was a descendant of Yu Xiaogang.

Therefore, no one said anything.

"Remember, training is very hard, but the point is I hope you can remember this hardship. Only by experiencing hardship can you grow."

With that said, the class was dismissed, and everyone could leave class to rest.

Huo Yuhao then immediately ran over to sell grilled fish, hastily setting up a stall and beginning his business.

"Class is finally over! What are you planning to do? I'm planning to go check out that newly opened grilled fish shop. It's said to be opened by someone named Huo Yuhao, and the taste is apparently quite good. Word is he comes from the Star Luo Empire."

A student who had joined Shrek for over three months said this.

"Gosh, is that Sister Jiang Nannan? She's our academy's renowned beauty!"

A student caught sight of a prominent figure at that moment. This prominent figure was none other than Jiang Nannan, the renowned beauty of Shrek Academy.

Moreover, her martial soul was the same as Xiao Wu's of the Shrek Seven Devils from 10,000 years ago. Although Xiao Wu was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, her martial soul was indeed the Soft Bone Rabbit; after all, she had transformed into a human and was exceptionally pretty, prompting a crowd of people to pursue her.

*(Note: My impression of Xiao Wu can only be described as very ordinary. Among all those very pretty heroines, she can only be considered average.*

To be honest, the romance between Tang San and Xiao Wu can indeed be considered true love. With so many pretty beauties harboring favorable feelings toward Tang San, he still chose Xiao Wu. I can only say this is also Tang San's sole redeeming quality.

As for Jiang Nannan's appearance and imagery, I choose to reference her manhua design, because the manhua design is truly very pretty. However, I really dislike Jiang Nannan's 3D anime design; I feel it's far too ordinary, even inferior to Xiao Wu's.

*Everyone's preferred style varies, and I hope you all understand.)*

"Everyone, please calm down! There are only two reserved grilled fish left. The current grilled fish are all sold out, and there are only two remaining. These two are reserved, please come again next time. Everyone, I'm very sorry, these two have already been claimed."

Huo Yuhao felt quite helpless at this moment as well. Although he wanted to continue selling grilled fish, the problem was that today's supplied grilled fish had already sold out, and the remaining two were for Beibei and Tang Ya. He had to wait until Beibei and Tang Ya finished so he could give them to them.

After all, Beibei and Tang Ya were truly good to Huo Yuhao, which could be considered one of their few redeeming qualities.

It was a pretty good quality after all, seeing as being able to unconditionally treat others well and trust those who are good to oneself was already quite a commendable trait. Many people were suspicious of everything and everyone, finding it difficult to trust even their own family members.
