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

After all, fish are not Soul Beasts but ordinary animals, as numerous as the hairs on an ox in this world.

Since they aren't Soul Beasts, they can be provided completely free of charge; there is absolutely no need to worry about the cost.

Furthermore, one must know that the oceans of Douluo Planet are teeming with fish, and the ocean surface area is even larger than the continents. Thus, fish are incredibly cheap, and there is no need to worry about them being eaten to extinction or becoming an endangered species; it is simply not a concern.

This is the reason why Tang Ya dared to say such a thing, because the item is truly too cheap, unlike Soul Beasts, so there is no need to worry at all.

"Really? Teacher Xiaoya, Big Brother Beibei, then thank you both so much. From now on, every time I grill fish, I will save a portion for you; you can eat for free."

"Is there any need to be like this? It doesn't matter. You are a member of our Tang Sect, and no matter what, you are a disciple of our Tang Sect. We won't let you suffer. As long as we have a bowl of soup to drink, you will have your share."

(Note: My impression of Tang Ya and Beibei in the early stages was decent, but it went downhill later. They are indeed quite good to their own people.

However, since they stand on Tang San's side, I cannot possibly give them a good ending. After all, they are people from Tang San's camp...)

Soon after, it was time for class again, and Huo Yuhao and the others went through another period of devilish training, but...

The training methods Zhou Yi came up with were basically no different from those devised by Yu Xiaogang 10,000 years ago. They were essentially methods that had already been phased out—methods that should have been eliminated as early as 10,000 years ago.

Back in those days 10,000 years ago, the training methods of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, the Star Luo Empire, Martial Soul Hall, and even the Four Elements Academies were all specifically developed for the students' Martial Souls.

The methods Yu Xiaogang concocted had long been obsolete, yet 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 equipment, and Yu Xiaogang was never a master of Martial Soul theory; he was merely a plagiarist. How could he possibly have correct training methods? The only reason Tang San and his group could win was entirely due to the immortal herbs Tang San brought, and the fact that Tang San was using cheats. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to defeat Martial Soul Hall, let alone the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires, or even the Four Elements Academies.

Zhou Yi actually didn't know how to train students either. The reason she could always ensure her students entered the inner courtyard was simply because she expelled the students who lacked ability and kept the ones who were excellent and obedient.

Moreover, this person was quite clever; she brought up the reputation of the Grandmaster, Yu Xiaogang. Everyone knew that Yu Xiaogang was Tang San's teacher, and most of the history books left behind in the Douluo Continent—or rather, the Douluo Three Kingdoms—recorded that it was Yu Xiaogang who trained Tang San into a god, calling Yu Xiaogang Tang San's benefactor. If Tang San hadn't met Yu Xiaogang, he would never have become a god in this lifetime.

The people of the Tang Sect didn't say anything, primarily because by the time the Tang Sect was established, the Soul Master Tournament had long since ended; it had been many years since the tournament concluded.

Furthermore, by that time, the interests of Tang San and Yu Xiaogang were already intertwined. Since they didn't know the inside story and couldn't distinguish truth from falsehood, they chose to believe it.

Tang San couldn't possibly tell the truth either. He couldn't very well say that his path to godhood relied entirely on himself and the immortal herbs. None of these things could be said, because at that time, everyone believed it was Yu Xiaogang's credit. If Tang San dared to say otherwise, it would be hard to predict what kind of labels would be slapped onto him.

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

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

So, no one said a word.

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

After saying this, the class was dismissed, and everyone was free to leave and rest.

Huo Yuhao immediately ran off to sell his grilled fish, quickly setting up a stall to begin his business.

"Class is finally over. What are you planning to do? I intend to check out that newly opened grilled fish stall. It's said to be opened by someone named Huo Yuhao, and the taste is quite good. Rumor has it he came from the Star Luo Empire."

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

"My god, is that Sister Jiang Nannan? She is our academy's famous beauty!"

A student spotted a big shot at this moment—Jiang Nannan, who was a renowned beauty in Shrek Academy.

Moreover, her Martial Soul was the same as Xiao Wu's from the Shrek Seven Devils of 10,000 years ago. Although Xiao Wu was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, her Martial Soul was indeed a Soft Bone Rabbit. Since she had transformed into a human and was very beautiful, she was pursued by a crowd of people.

(Note: My impression of Xiao Wu can only be described as average; among those very beautiful female leads, she can only be considered mediocre.

Honestly, the love between Tang San and Xiao Wu can indeed be considered true love. With so many beautiful women having positive feelings for Tang San, yet Tang San still choosing Xiao Wu, one can only say this is Tang San's only merit.

Also, regarding Jiang Nannan's appearance, I chose to refer to the manga version, as the manga design is truly very beautiful. However, I really dislike the 3D anime design of Jiang Nannan; I feel it is far too average, perhaps even worse than Xiao Wu.

Everyone has different tastes in style; I hope you all understand.)

"Everyone, please calm down. There are only two pre-ordered grilled fish left. The current batch is sold out, and only two remain. These two are pre-ordered; please come back next time. Everyone, I am very sorry, these two have already been reserved."

Huo Yuhao felt quite helpless at this moment. Although he wanted to continue selling, the problem was that the supply for the day was sold out. The remaining two fish were for Beibei and Tang Ya, and he had to wait for them to finish so he could give them their portions.

After all, Beibei and Tang Ya were truly very good to Huo Yuhao, and this could be considered one of their few merits.

It is a decent merit, after all; being able to treat others well unconditionally and trusting those who are good to you is already a very good trait. Many people are suspicious and paranoid, and even relatives find it hard to trust one another.
