Wang Dong: You've Insulted Me Beyond Measure!

Chapter 37: Wang Dong: You've Insulted Me Beyond Measure!

"How on earth do you hatch this Phoenix Egg?!"

Huo Yuhao looked at the Phoenix Egg radiating intense heat, feeling rather helpless.

He'd tried all the usual methods, but none of them had worked.

The Phoenix Egg's hatching progress was still at 0%.

This was ridiculous!

Did he have to ask Ma Xiaotao to hatch it?!

That didn't make sense either!

If he asked her to hatch it, then why had killing her dropped an Evil Fire Phoenix Egg?

As for hatching it with flames, he'd tried that too. Just like all the other methods, it hadn't worked at all!

"Yuhao! It's time to go sell grilled fish!"

Just then, Tang Ya's voice came from downstairs.

Huo Yuhao put the Phoenix Egg back into his Storage Space and headed downstairs.

Since Ma Xiaotao had destroyed his dormitory, he'd moved into a new one.

The new dormitory was much larger and even had a bathroom.

It was still just as shabby, but it was a lot better than the old New Student Dormitory.

"Let's go!"

When Tang Ya saw Huo Yuhao come downstairs, she grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the academy.

The two soon arrived outside Shrek Academy.

Tang Ya deftly set up the metal grill and iron rack.

Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao expertly prepared the crucian carp.

Before they'd even started grilling, the area in front of Huo Yuhao's stall was already packed.

He'd only sold grilled fish once before.

But word traveled fast!

Huo Yuhao, who'd single-handedly subdued one of the Outer Court Twin Stars, was personally grilling fish for you!

Could you even imagine it?

And it only cost one Gold Soul Coin!

Wasn't that a total steal?

Once Huo Yuhao had finished preparing the crucian carp, he used his Ten Thousand Mile Ice Seal Domain to create an icy display stand.

Then he placed the Phoenix Egg on top.

"Senior students, I have a Phoenix Egg here."

"If anyone can find an effective way to hatch it, you'll get priority when buying grilled fish from me in the future!"

"And I'll also give you 300,000 Gold Soul Coins!"

Huo Yuhao amplified his voice with Soul Power and addressed the crowd.

As the saying went, three cobblers together could rival Zhuge Liang!

With so many people here, Huo Yuhao refused to believe they couldn't find a way to hatch it!

If they really couldn't, then all he could do was wait for Mu En to return.

He'd only said it in passing, never expecting Mu En to actually take the God Sealing Platform and go capture a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Come to think of it, that was his fault.

Otherwise, he might have already learned how to hatch the egg.

"???"

"Did I hear that right?!"

"300,000 Gold Soul Coins!"

"You just need to come up with an effective hatching method? Isn't that free money?"

"I don't think it's that simple. If it were, why would he offer so many Gold Soul Coins?"

"That makes sense. I'll stick to eating grilled fish."

Huo Yuhao continued, "If you want to try hatching it, line up over here. If you want grilled fish, line up over there."

"Anyone who gives it a try gets one free grilled fish, whether it works or not!"

After hearing that, most people went to line up by the Phoenix Egg.

A smaller group lined up at the grilled fish stall.

Huo Yuhao grilled sixteen fish at a time, his hands moving so fast they blurred.

As for whether someone might steal the Phoenix Egg?

Huo Yuhao didn't think anyone could pull that off.

If he weren't suppressing it with Ten Thousand Mile Ice Seal, the intense heat radiating from the Phoenix Egg would be more than most people could withstand!

Besides, the egg couldn't be put into a Storage Soul Tool!

That was because it counted as a living creature!

Huo Yuhao could carry it because he had the System's built-in Storage Space!

And besides, did they really think Xuan Zi was just for show?

He was a Level 98 Super Douluo!

In Shrek Academy, he was second only to Mu En!

Xuan Zi's uselessness outside the academy didn't mean he was useless inside it too!

If Xuan Zi was useless inside the academy as well, then Huo Yuhao would just have to accept his bad luck.

He'd have no choice but to summon the Ice and Snow Empresses to fight for him!

He'd wipe out the whole family of whoever tried to steal the egg!

Fortunately, nothing like that happened. After one person after another tried and failed, they went to the grilled fish stall to line up for their free fish.

Huo Yuhao suddenly spotted a furtive figure.

"Wang Dong, what brings you here?" Huo Yuhao asked, puzzled.

He remembered that Wang Dong had gone to the Soul Fighting Zone. Why had he suddenly come here?

Ever since finding out that Huo Yuhao had unleashed Ice Seal Ten Thousand Miles, Wang Dong had either been cultivating or on his way to cultivate.

Whenever he had free time, he went to the Soul Fighting Zone for a few bouts.

He kept improving himself.

According to Huo Yuhao's intel, Wang Dong had already learned how to use his aerial advantage.

He'd stopped fighting in close quarters like an idiot who used a flying Martial Soul.

"Hahaha, you caught me." Wang Dong laughed awkwardly.

Wang Dong hadn't expected Huo Yuhao to spot him so quickly either.

He'd been planning to try out some ways to hatch the Phoenix Egg.

Huo Yuhao asked, "You don't want to try too, do you?"

Wang Dong nodded. "Why shouldn't this young master give it a try?"

"You can, but I have a feeling you'll just be wasting your time," Huo Yuhao said with a laugh as he grilled the fish.

That was the impression Wang Dong gave him: an innocent sort of foolishness.

"You've gone too far!" Wang Dong exploded on the spot!

What did he mean, he'd be wasting his time?!

That was looking down on him way too much!!!

You evil little yellow-haired brat! I'll personally—

It was Wang Dong's turn just then.

Wang Dong tapped the Phoenix Egg with a serious expression.

Then he leaned in and pressed his ear against it.

Huo Yuhao: "..."

He was truly speechless.

The heat is dangerous, the heat is dangerous—did those words mean nothing to him?!

Helpless, Huo Yuhao could only strengthen Ice Seal Ten Thousand Miles a little.

Otherwise, if the Phoenix Egg burned Wang Dong's ear, Huo Yuhao would be in serious trouble.

At the moment, Huo Yuhao only had one Limit Douluo backing him.

And Mu En might die at any moment.

What?

You said Shrek Academy also had Xuan Zi?

That was the Holy Spirit Cult Supreme Elder!

Huo Yuhao didn't dare put his back in Xuan Zi's hands.

If Huo Yuhao didn't have the Snow Core, or the domain that let him summon the Ice Empress and Snow Empress to fight for him,

then he absolutely wouldn't have brought out this Phoenix Egg!

Just as expected, Wang Dong soon gave up.

"See? I told you that you'd be wasting your time."

"You wouldn't listen."

Huo Yuhao shrugged helplessly.

And just then, the hatching progress changed!

[Phoenix Egg (Hatching Progress 1%)]

Huo Yuhao: "?"

Had Wang Dong really figured it out?

But Huo Yuhao didn't say anything. He quietly finished grilling the last batch of fish.

After handing them out, he put the Phoenix Egg back into his Storage Space.

"Come back next time, everyone. We're sold out." Huo Yuhao left them with that.

Then he hurried toward his dormitory.

On the way, he grabbed Wang Dong's hand and dragged him along too.

"What are you doing?!" Wang Dong angrily shook off Huo Yuhao's hand, thoroughly displeased with his behavior.

"Come on, come on. Do exactly what you just did."

Huo Yuhao used Ten Thousand Mile Ice Seal to create another icy display stand and placed the Phoenix Egg on it.

"Why should I listen to you?" Wang Dong turned and sat back on the bed.

"You'll get to eat first next time I grill fish."

"Fine, fine, I'll try!" Wang Dong immediately ran over and repeated what he'd done earlier.

But the hatching progress didn't budge.

"I've got it!"

Huo Yuhao suddenly realized how to hatch this egg!
