A different Shrek

After discussing the Holy Spirit Cult and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, both places had their own intricacies for Huo Yuhao.

Today, let's turn our attention back to Shrek, but instead of the familiar Shrek, let's discuss a different hypothesis.

If Shrek Academy hadn't followed its seniority-based system and had treated Huo Yuhao as a top genius from the start, showering him with resources, what would Huo Yuhao's path have been like?

Shrek Academy has a solid foundation; old guys like Mu En and Xuan Zi have incredibly sharp eyes.

When Huo Yuhao first entered the Outer Court, if the higher-ups of the Sea God Pavilion had directly screened him, Mu En, with his level of perception, would have been able to see through the Million-Year Soul Ring hidden within Huo Yuhao at a glance.

As long as these old guys give a firm order to focus on developing Huo Yuhao, Huo Yuhao's treatment in the Outer Court will immediately undergo a dramatic change.

While others were still living in shared dormitories, he moved directly into the core cultivation room in the Inner Court.

While others line up in the cafeteria for meals, he has a one-on-one meal service.

Shrek has never lacked resources; what they lack is simply a reason to favor them.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

She had seen too many talented students at Shrek who were held back by limited resources.

If Shrek could truly dedicate resources to promising newcomers as described in their diary, many people's fates would be different.

Thinking of Huo Yuhao's later hardships, Xiao Xiao realized that if he had received such treatment from the beginning at Shrek, his cultivation speed would probably have been much faster than before.

Shrek didn't invest resources, and in the end, those promising talents were poached by other forces. No matter how you look at it, this is not a worthwhile investment.

If Mu En personally gives the order, Huo Yuhao will definitely receive Soul Bone that is at least ten thousand years old.

Shrek Academy's treasure vault has a richer stock than any major sect. Originally, according to the rules, Outer Court students would have to risk their lives and fight for contribution points to get a Thousand-Year Soul Bone.

However, if Huo Yuhao is included in the list of top geniuses, Mu En will readily grant him Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone or even Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.

After being improved by the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Huo Yuhao's physique allowed him to absorb high-level Soul Bone with far greater efficiency than ordinary people. Given sufficient resources, his Soul Power Level would rise at an astonishing rate.

When Wang Dong'er read the contents of the diary, her heart stirred slightly.

When she entered Shrek, although she had the backing of the Clear Sky Sect's Young Sect Master, the old guys in the academy still treated her with disdain.

If it were Huo Yuhao, Mu En personally approved the resources, his status in the academy would be completely different.

Wang Dong'er believes that this is not just a matter of resources, but also a matter of attitude.

As long as the elders of the Sea God Pavilion protect him, no one dares to bully him.

Besides the Soul Bone, there is also Soul Tool.

Although Shrek's Soul Tool technology is no match for the Sun Moon Empire, it still has its foundation.

If Huo Yuhao were specifically placed in the highest-level soul tool laboratory and allowed to handle the most advanced experimental equipment, given his talent in Soul Tool, he would probably be able to break through to the level of an eighth or even Level-Nine Soul Engineer in just a few years.

With abundant resources, Huo Yuhao not only gets the best equipment, but also gains early access to the fusion technology of Soul Tool and Soul Master.

This dual cultivation path was unprecedented at Shrek, but Huo Yuhao's talent was just right to pave the way for it.

Seeing this, Zhang Lexuan felt a pang of emotion.

Having spent so much time in the Inner Court, she was all too familiar with the way Shrek's upper management operated.

Although the elders of the Sea God Pavilion value talent, rules are rules, and few would break the balance for the sake of a new student.

If Huo Yuhao really received that level of treatment, he would probably become the only student in Shrek Academy's history to enjoy such privileges.

This has happened before in history, but each time it has been accompanied by great controversy.

If Shrek were to invest so many resources, Huo Yuhao's mindset would undergo a significant change.

He used to feel that others looked down on him when he Outer Court, and that no matter how hard he tried, he could never reach the feet of those aristocratic children.

But if the elder of the Sea God Pavilion had told him from the beginning that he was the hope for the future, then Huo Yuhao's sense of inferiority would have dissipated by more than half.

He would devote all his energy to cultivation and Soul Tool research, instead of worrying about how others viewed him every day.

Confidence plays a vital role in geniuses.

Ma Xiaotao nodded slightly in approval upon seeing this.

As Inner Court disciple herself, she knew how the geniuses in the Inner Court usually cultivated.

If Huo Yuhao is truly treated like a treasure by Shrek, then he won't need to conserve his energy on various small matters and can concentrate all his efforts on one thing.

That level of focus is something that ordinary students simply cannot achieve.

Although Ma Xiaotao had some reservations about Huo Yuhao's personality, she had to admit that if he had the best resources, his power would completely spiral out of control.

Since Shrek has given Huo Yuhao such great benefits, Huo Yuhao will naturally be devoted to Shrek Academy.

He no longer needs to haggle with people for a Soul Bone, nor does he need to please anyone; this sense of trust will allow him to completely let down his guard.

The top management at Shrek aren't blind; they know how to win people's hearts.

As long as Huo Yuhao feels this sincerity, he will not only become Shrek Shrek's sharpest blade, but also its most steadfast supporter.

In any future battle, he will be at the forefront, because Shrek gave him a new life.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Nannan thought that this hypothesis was actually quite good.

Huo Yuhao, who has suffered hardships since childhood, is actually the one who values gratitude the most.

He will remember those who lend a helping hand when he is down on his luck for the rest of his life.

If Shrek really does this, then Huo Yuhao will definitely be Shrek's most loyal trump card in the future.

Jiang Nannan wondered if Shrek had truly cared for Huo Yuhao back then, would those later tragedies have been avoided?

Because he is regarded as a top genius, Huo Yuhao's relationship with his classmates will be completely different.

Previously, everyone thought he was a poor boy from the countryside, but after the elder of the Sea God Pavilion personally endorsed him, the students' attitudes towards him immediately changed.

Whether they genuinely wanted to befriend him or were simply trying to curry favor, at least no one dared to bully him to his face.

Huo Yuhao can develop properly in this relatively relaxed environment, instead of being forced to fight like before. This stable environment is the most precious thing for him.

Ning Tian pondered for a moment upon seeing this.

She felt that if the higher-ups at Shrek really wanted to run the academy well, they should invest resources in students like Huo Yuhao.

The old, step-by-step allocation method actually buried many people who originally had the potential to become top experts.
