Damn, that old geezer's not playing by the rules!

"Don't underestimate me!" Four soul rings rose beneath Huo Yuhao's feet!

They were all black ten-thousand-year rings!!!

"!!!" Mu En was so shocked he jumped straight up from his recliner.

Are you kidding me???!

Wasn't this kid only level twenty before he left?!!

It had only been a week!

And he was already level forty?!!!

Fortunately, Huo Yuhao hadn't launched an attack immediately.

You have to realize, he had just suppressed his own level to twenty-one!

"What are you doing, what are you doing?"

"Didn't we agree you'd let me have three moves?"

Huo Yuhao said, looking quite dissatisfied.

"Naturally. Make your move; I was just a bit surprised, that's all." Mu En smiled.

Surprised, my foot!

He had nearly been scared into standing straight!

He truly hadn't expected it!

Huo Yuhao had leveled up twenty times in a single week!

And he had three black ten-thousand-year soul rings!

What was even more absurd was that even his initial white ten-year soul ring had turned into a black ten-thousand-year one!

This was something he couldn't comprehend!

He felt like all the theoretical knowledge he had learned in the past had been fed to the dogs!

He had only ever seen soul ring age enhancement in records concerning gods!

Completing a god's trial would increase a soul ring's age!

But no matter how he looked at it, Huo Yuhao didn't seem like someone with a god's inheritance!

He hadn't been idle these past few days!

He had stripped Huo Yuhao's background information clean!

An orphan!

No kin, no connections!

And that was it!

He looked left and right, up and down, and only saw four words.

Isolated and helpless!

No background, no family!

Even his roommate had gotten into a fight with him!

You say Tang Sect isn't a background?

The Tang Sect is a fart of a background; he was Beibei's great-great-grandfather!

What kind of help could a little girl like Tang Ya, who was only level thirty-something, provide?

She wasn't even as strong as Huo Yuhao himself!

He was already level forty!

"Emperor Snow Divine Blade!" Huo Yuhao stomped his foot forward violently!

A light blue longsword made of ice crystals appeared in Huo Yuhao's hand.

Killing Domain activated!

Huo Yuhao's attack power increased by 10%!

Mu En's attack power decreased by 30%!

Snow Dance Shining Sun activated!

Ice Seal Ten Thousand Miles activated!

The area within the two great domains instantly became the Far North!

Snow Filling Sky Flower Dance activated!

The phantom of the Snow Empress began to dance!!!

The Ice Empress descended!!!

Ice-attribute soul skill power doubled!!!

Soul power consumption reduced by half!!!

Ultimate Ice penetration power doubled!!!

He went all out from the very start!

"Void-Piercing Ice Slash!!!!!!"

An incredibly ferocious, armor-piercing sword aura slashed forth!

This attack was infinitely close to dealing true damage!

Its power had increased at least tenfold!!!

"!!!" Mu En's eyes widened!

He had played it too big!!!

He never imagined that a mere level 40 Huo Yuhao could unleash an attack surpassing that of a Soul Douluo!

A phantom of a Radiant Holy Dragon appeared behind him!

He knew that if he continued to suppress his power to level 40, he would be unable to withstand this move!

Huo Yuhao naturally saw this, but he did not use his Holy Dragon Soul Core to suppress him.

There was no need for that!

It wasn't as if they had some deep-seated grudge!

Besides, even if his Radiant Holy Dragon martial soul were suppressed, Mu En still possessed *Self-Created Soul Skill*s!

Mu En stepped forward with his right foot!

A violent fluctuation of soul power rippled outward!

Dragon Emperor Evil-Breaking Crack!!!

In an instant, the Void-Piercing Ice Slash Huo Yuhao had unleashed was shattered!

It dissolved into soul power and vanished into the heavens and earth!

Even the domain Huo Yuhao had cast to alter the environment was broken at that very moment!

Seeing the situation turn sour, Huo Yuhao hurriedly retracted his remaining soul skills.

His soul power recovery speed was fast enough, but having one's soul skills broken would result in a backlash!

Backlash was not a pleasant experience!

Phew, is this the strength of the strongest person in Shrek Academy? Huo Yuhao thought in shock.

Terrifyingly strong!

With just a single move, he had broken several of his soul skills!

Of course, if Mu En had kept his level suppressed at the Soul Ancestor level, his Dragon Emperor Evil-Breaking Crack would never have been able to break his Void-Piercing Ice Slash.

This round was effectively lost due to level suppression.

But it wasn't a total loss; Huo Yuhao's Mental Detection had been active the entire time.

He had successfully copied this move!

Hahahahahaha!!!!

The Self-Created Soul Skill that Mu En had spent his entire life researching had been copied by Huo Yuhao in less than a minute!

Learned another one! Dragon Emperor Evil-Breaking Crack!

"Old man, you don't play fair. We agreed on the same level, but your aura just now far exceeded a Soul Ancestor!" Huo Yuhao said, exasperated.

"Cough, cough, I couldn't stop it without using my full strength!" Mu En explained.

Huo Yuhao: "?"

Full strength?

I don't believe a word of it!

You used at most the strength of a Soul Douluo!

"Yuhao, I have to say, you've become much stronger since you returned from this trip."

"Stop, don't butter me up."

"Old man, this should count as your loss, right?"

Huo Yuhao asked.

"Fine, fine, fine, I'll count it as my loss." Mu En nodded and lay back down in his chair.

Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. It was worth me using twelve percent of my power."

Mu En: "?"

You brat, were you actually trying to kill your master?!

I only wanted to offer you a bit of guidance, yet you used twelve-tenths of your strength!!!

"Alright, old man, since you've lost, cough up some Gold Soul Coin for me to spend."

Huo Yuhao held out his hand, signaling for Mu En to pay up.

"Fine, fine, fine, here you go." Mu En fished a dozen Gold Soul Coin from his pocket and placed them into Huo Yuhao's hand.

"Many thanks, Teacher!"

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing Option Four. The reward (Gold Soul Coin x 10,000,000) has been issued to the host.]

This haul was a massive win!

Not only did he learn the Dragon Emperor Evil-Breaking Crack, but he also received the rewards from previous options!

A full 10,000,000 Gold Soul Coin!!!

"Tell me, what did you gain from this trip out?" Mu En asked.

"Do you really want to hear?"

Huo Yuhao said with a mysterious air.

"Why wouldn't I? I am your teacher, after all." Mu En nodded.

He was very curious to know what exactly Huo Yuhao had gained.

To have become this strong!

One had to know, just seven days ago, Huo Yuhao had struggled to fight a little girl at level twenty!

Yet, seven days later, his strength had reached the point of crushing her as easily as breathing!

Truly, the kind of crushing that was as easy as breathing!

Even Mu En himself had nearly been crushed.

He didn't think that Wang Dong, who was disguised as a boy, would be able to withstand it!

"Fine, just don't get scared senseless." Huo Yuhao took off his shirt and switched to his second martial soul!

Ice Jade Empress Scorpion!

At that very moment, the temperature around Huo Yuhao plummeted!

The intense chill was enough to make even Mu En feel cold!

A layer of crystalline luster appeared over Huo Yuhao's hands!

Mu En, who had only just laid down, could no longer stay still!

It wasn't just the black ten-thousand-year soul ring rising beneath Huo Yuhao's feet!

It was also the tattoo that had appeared on Huo Yuhao's back!

A crystalline Ice Jade Empress Scorpion tattoo!

Its lifelike appearance seemed as if it possessed a soul!

"Ice Jade Scorpion?!!"

Mu En stared at the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion tattoo on Huo Yuhao's back in disbelief!

Huo Yuhao put his clothes back on and was about to say something when he heard a voice call out.

"Huo Yuhao!"

Wang Dong appeared from out of nowhere, her face full of pleasant surprise.

But a moment later, she sighed, "Huo Yuhao, you didn't show up on the first day of school, so you've been expelled."

Mu En, who had been smiling just a moment ago, suddenly flew into a rage!

"Who?!!!!!!!"
