Not Really, A-Dong? You Meant It?

God Realm

Heaven-Peering Hall

Tang San said contemptuously, "Trash like this who secretly learned a sect's ultimate techniques should be demoted to the lower realms and reborn as pigs and dogs for eternity. What right did he have to become the same kind of god as me?"

"Wait... Sea God... Sea God?"

"Wasn't I the one who became the Sea God ten thousand years ago?"

"How could I possibly be that despicable... cough, cough, that underappreciated, devastatingly handsome, ambitious young man who upheld the sect, Yuan Hua!"

"Damn Huo Yuhao, where did he learn these truths... cough, cough, these rumors and slander? How dare he defame me before outsiders? It was simply unforgivable!"

"He had already mastered the way of being a lapdog!"

In Fishfork God King Tang San's heart, another crime was added to Huo Yuhao's record.

Slandering the great, kind, holy, benevolent... (ten thousand words omitted here) God King Tang San!

Shrek Academy

Soul Guidance Department

Inside the library

The Outer Academy Soul Guidance Department Library was a two-story black building.

After Fan Yu went through a series of cumbersome identity verifications, the library doors slowly opened.

Once inside, countless books and blueprints filled the eye.

"The Outer Academy Soul Guidance Department Library contains knowledge on Soul Tools from Levels One to Four. Everything above Level Four is in the Inner Court Soul Guidance Department Library."

"Go in and read whatever you like. I'll treat you to lunch at the Soul Guidance Department Cafeteria later."

Fan Yu said with a smile.

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly. "I'm looking forward to the food at the Soul Guidance Department Cafeteria."

"Alright, I'll wait for you at the entrance."

Fan Yu smiled, then turned and left.

After Fan Yu left, Huo Yuhao picked up a copy of Introduction to Soul Engineers and began reading.

"Soul Tools were kind of interesting. I'll take all this knowledge for now. I'll deal with the Inner Court's later."

With that, Huo Yuhao pulled down his eyepatch.

Cursed Technique: Six Eyes: Light of Knowledge!

Outside the library

Zhou Yi asked in confusion, "Was a brat who thought so highly of himself really worth paying such a huge price for?"

Fan Yu smiled. "I don't know much about his Martial Soul, but when it comes to Soul Tools, his talent is absolutely unparalleled."

"No matter the cost, as long as he joins the Soul Guidance Department, it will be worth it."

Zhou Yi was deeply puzzled.

Was Huo Yuhao really that impressive?

Ever since he entered the Soul Guidance Department, all she had seen was Huo Yuhao showing off.

When had he ever displayed unparalleled talent?

The two had not chatted for long before Huo Yuhao came out.

Seeing Huo Yuhao emerge so quickly, Fan Yu asked in confusion, "Not going to read for a while longer?"

Huo Yuhao waved his hand and said calmly, "I finished. Soul Tools were just so-so."

Zhou Yi said as if she had expected it, "See? This guy was showing off again. Just where did you see his unparalleled talent?"

Huo Yuhao spread his hands innocently. Everything he had said was the truth.

With so few books, his Cursed Technique: Light of Knowledge could finish reading them in ten minutes.

Fan Yu smiled without getting angry. "Geniuses tend to have strange personalities. It's nothing."

"Come on, I'll take you to the Soul Guidance Department Cafeteria for some good food."

Huo Yuhao replied eagerly, "Alright!"

Soul Guidance Department Cafeteria

Inside were pan-fried, deep-fried, braised, and boiled soul beast meats, as well as blanched and cold-mixed nourishing spirit vegetables.

There were also highly restorative medicinal dishes... all kinds of delicious food, each with tremendous nutritional value.

Huo Yuhao's appetite was thoroughly whetted, and he ordered an entire table full of food.

After finishing, he even packed a large portion of premium desserts.

He ruthlessly fleeced Fan Yu, the rich man, for a good sum.

Fan Yu asked with a smile,

"Was it good? Do you want to keep eating here?"

Fan Yu's words were filled with temptation.

Huo Yuhao answered without hesitation,

"Yes!"

After eating the food at the Soul Guidance Department Cafeteria, he probably would not be able to stomach the Freshman Cafeteria's meals anymore.

Fan Yu smiled. "Then join the Soul Guidance Department. From now on, the department will cover whatever you spend at the cafeteria."

"Alright!"

Huo Yuhao did not refuse.

Having absorbed the vast amount of Soul Engineer knowledge from the Soul Guidance Department Library,

he also needed a place to practice and digest that knowledge.

Besides, eating, drinking, living, and using everything for free was the true essence of lying flat.

Fan Yu was somewhat surprised. He had not expected Huo Yuhao to agree so quickly.

"Then it's settled."

"How about this? Joining the Soul Guidance Department requires some paperwork. I'll sort it out, and you can come tomorrow."

Freshmen joining a department ahead of schedule required paperwork to be submitted.

Having him fill out the paperwork tomorrow was mainly to leave time to notify Vice Dean Qian Duoduo,

so that the Martial Soul Department would not come snatch him away after the paperwork was submitted.

"Huh?" Huo Yuhao asked in confusion. "Why not today? What am I supposed to do about dinner?"

Zhou Yi sneered. "You glutton, why did you only know how to eat, eat, eat? Would starving for one afternoon kill you?"

Huo Yuhao said solemnly, "Those who live to eat have souls for eating. People who eat are all superior people!"

Zhou Yi and Fan Yu were both speechless.

This guy really was a living treasure.

"Fine. Come to the Soul Guidance Department Cafeteria this afternoon. Put it on my tab."

"Awesome!"

Back in the dormitory

Huo Yuhao had wanted to take a comfortable afternoon nap, but Wang Dong suddenly climbed onto his bed.

"Hey, hey, hey, what were you trying to do?"

Huo Yuhao covered his chest with both hands, striking a pose as though protecting himself.

Wang Dong's little face flushed red. "Huo Yuhao! Don't say things that could make people misunderstand!"

Huo Yuhao smiled. "You climbed onto my bed, and you wouldn't even let me say anything?"

Wang Dong clenched her fists, but when she remembered that she could not beat Huo Yuhao, she loosened them again.

"Huo Yuhao, what level is your Soul Power? And what exactly is your Martial Soul?"

Wang Dong asked curiously.

"You wanted to know?"

"Mhm, mhm, mhm."

Wang Dong nodded, looking utterly curious.

"Not telling you!"

After saying that, Huo Yuhao lay back down, pulled the blanket over himself, and prepared for his nap.

"Huo Yuhao! You dared to toy with me? I'll fight you!"

Wang Dong pounced onto Huo Yuhao.

She opened her cherry lips, revealing her tiny, pearly-white canine teeth.

She was about to bite Huo Yuhao.

"Wang Dong, you launched another sneak attack! Take this, Sure-Hit Heart-Piercing Dragon Claw!"

"Bastard! You actually dared to grab me there? I'll fight you!"

"Sure-Hit Heart-Piercing Dragon Claw!"

"..."

A battle that shook heaven and made ghosts weep came to an end.

Wang Dong curled up by the edge of the bed, quietly crying.

Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao's hands were covered in rows of bite marks.

Both sides had suffered heavy losses.

"Are you a dog or something? You bit my hands full of teeth marks."

Huo Yuhao said with a wry smile.

Wang Dong snorted coldly. "It would serve you right if I bit you to death. Who told you to grab me there?"

Huo Yuhao pretended not to understand. "We're both guys. What was wrong with grabbing you once?"

"And I suggest you train more in the future. Otherwise, you're all soft and limp, not like a man at all."

Upon hearing that, Wang Dong's cheeks first flushed crimson. Then she bared her teeth and pounced at Huo Yuhao.

"Bastard! I'll fight you!"

"Hey, hey, hey, a gentleman uses words, not fists."

On this short-lived battlefield, the two launched another earth-shaking battle.

During the fight, Wang Dong accidentally fell, and her lips brushed against Huo Yuhao's face.

Wang Dong's eyes widened. Her face burning red, she hurriedly got up.

Huo Yuhao covered the spot where he had been kissed and said in disbelief, "Not really, A-Dong? You meant it?"
