Cursed Technique Reversal: Almighty Push
Huo Yuhao froze for a moment, then laughed. "Senior, you want to rob me of my fish, right?"
The senior smiled sweetly. "Junior, I was just joking. Could you make it a little cheaper? I'm a girl."
"Not even if you'd just been born!"
"Hmph, you stingy little brat. I'll pay for it—I'm buying one!"
The senior bought an outrageously expensive grilled fish with tears in her eyes.
The surrounding students looked at her as if she were some huge sucker.
"Wow!!"
"This is way too delicious!!"
After taking a bite of the grilled fish, the senior put on an extremely exaggerated expression.
"That's way too fake. She's obviously a shill."
"Exactly, exactly. Even if I starved to death, I'd never take a single bite of grilled fish. Hey, wait! Slow down! Save one for me!"
"Junior, give me ten fish—no, twenty fish!"
"Hey, bro, can you even finish that much grilled fish?"
"Mind your own business!"
"..."
Facing the crazed crowd, Huo Yuhao remained unhurried. "Line up, line up. If you don't line up, I'm not selling!"
"Everyone, this junior actually dares to put on airs. Let's not buy from him!"
"Don't listen to him. He's practically trying to work his scheme right in my face."
"Bullshit, everyone... let me cut in line, okay?"
"Get lost. I don't have a son like you!"
"..."
Before long, a dragon-like queue had formed in front of Huo Yuhao's grilled fish stall.
Today, Huo Yuhao had caught fifty-three fish in total.
He sold fifty grilled fish and kept three for Tang Ya.
In the blink of an eye, all fifty grilled fish were sold out.
Huo Yuhao waved his hand. "Sold out, sold out. Come back tomorrow."
The people still waiting in line refused to accept that and voiced their dissatisfaction.
"How could this happen?"
"Junior, seriously? I've been waiting forever, and you're saying there's none left?"
"Junior, don't you still have three over there? I'll pay ten Gold Soul Coins for one!"
"..."
Huo Yuhao waved them off. "Not for sale. I'm saving these for someone else. If you want to buy some, come early after school tomorrow."
Seeing that Huo Yuhao would not budge, a few people turned their attention to the others who had bought grilled fish.
"Bro, sell me one grilled fish. You can't finish three by yourself anyway."
"No. I'm saving these for my goddess."
"Hey, bro, don't be a simp. How about this? Sell me one grilled fish, and I'll introduce you to a girlfriend."
"No, I'll remain utterly devoted to my goddess!"
"You damn simp, don't you know simps belong behind dogs in line?"
"If I could, I'd be my goddess's simp for the rest of my life!"
"..."
Just as Huo Yuhao was about to close up his stall, a commotion suddenly erupted on the street.
"Wow! Look!"
"It's her!"
"Oh, oh, oh! Isn't that the academy's number one beauty—Lady Jiang Nannan?"
"Wow, look over there! It's Jiang Nannan!"
"She's so beautiful! And she's so gentle too!"
Huo Yuhao glanced sideways, taking in everything about Jiang Nannan.
She looked to be only fourteen or fifteen.
She had a tall, well-proportioned figure, and her long golden hair fell behind her in large waves.
Her skin was fairer than snow, and her eyes resembled a pool of clear water. Whenever she looked around, she naturally carried an elegant and refined aura.
Especially that impressive bust... bonus points.
Huo Yuhao remembered that, in the original story, this girl was also a pitiable person.
When she was fourteen, her mother had fallen gravely ill and urgently needed the Xuanming Sect's Black Tortoise Divine Pill for treatment. With no other choice, she had slept with Xu Sanshi so that his Martial Soul could evolve.
That incident had also left her with an indelible trauma.
But what Huo Yuhao remembered even more clearly—
was the later plot between the two. After Jiang Nannan passed through Heaven-and-Earth Love-Seeking Valley, she had completely accepted Xu Sanshi, and the two became husband and wife.
That plot was utterly insane.
To put it another way, it was like Qian Xunji locking Bibi Dong in a secret room and violating her.
Then later, the two made up and even became husband and wife.
Tell him that wasn't insane.
Damn it all.
While Huo Yuhao was thinking.
Jiang Nannan walked over to Huo Yuhao's grilled fish stall and asked,
"Hello, junior. May I ask how much one grilled fish costs?"
Jiang Nannan's voice was like a spring breeze brushing against one's face, giving off a warm feeling.
Huo Yuhao smiled. "One Gold Soul Coin each."
Jiang Nannan covered her mouth with her delicate hand and exclaimed softly, "One grilled fish costs one Gold Soul Coin?"
"That's right."
"That's too expensive. Three copper coins should be about right, shouldn't it?"
Jiang Nannan haggled.
She wanted to slash one Gold Soul Coin down to three copper coins in a single stroke.
Even a dragon-slaying blade could not cut prices as fiercely as she could.
Huo Yuhao shook his head. "How is that expensive? It's always been this price, okay?"
"Don't talk nonsense with your eyes wide open."
"For all these years, it's been one Gold Soul Coin... cough, cough. Well, grilled fish aren't negotiable. They're sold out today, so come back tomorrow."
Jiang Nannan showed a hint of apology.
"Ah! Sorry, my old habit acted up again. Then I'll come back and try it another time!"
The boys around them were furious.
"You actually dared refuse to sell to Jiang Nannan!"
"This brat!"
Just then, an angry roar came from the sky.
"Hmph! You dare refuse to sell?!!"
A Gold Soul Coin flew over like a hidden weapon, stopping forty centimeters in front of Huo Yuhao.
Immediately afterward, a black shadow lunged forward, reaching for the grilled fish on the rack.
But the hand stopped in midair before the grill, unable to advance even an inch.
"You dare use a Soul Skill? Brat, are you tired of living?!!"
The figure revealed himself to be a young man about Bei Bei's age.
He was tall and powerfully built, comparable to He Caitou. With thick brows, tiger-like eyes, a straight nose, and a square mouth, he had a dignified and handsome appearance.
This person was none other than Xu Sanshi.
After speaking viciously, Xu Sanshi attacked again, reaching directly for Huo Yuhao.
"Stop!"
"What are you doing!"
Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya spoke at the same time.
Beside them, Bei Bei merely watched coldly and did not step in to help as he had in the original story.
"Huo Yuhao, it looks like you're in trouble this time."
Seeing Huo Yuhao in danger, a trace of pleasure rose in Bei Bei's heart.
Cursed Technique Reversal: Almighty Push!
Huo Yuhao raised his hand slightly. Red Cursed Energy emerged, forming a translucent red spherical barrier.
Bang!!
A powerful repulsive force violently blasted Xu Sanshi away.
He flew wildly through the air, smashing countless stalls and knocking into countless pedestrians.
He landed on the ground and rolled for more than ten meters.
Only stopping when he crashed into Shrek Academy's gates.
Boom!!
Xu Sanshi collided with the gates, producing a dull, heavy sound.
"Cough, cough~"
Xu Sanshi coughed violently, blood pouring out in great quantities.
Fragments of internal organs were mixed in with the blood.
Xu Sanshi was utterly dazed from the blow. "What the hell just happened?"
"Why does it hurt so much?!"
Silence!
The previously bustling street fell completely silent.
It was so quiet that a needle dropping could be heard.
The scene just now had shocked everyone on the entire street.
They still had not recovered from it.
Who did not know Xu Sanshi? He was one of Shrek Academy Outer Academy's Twin Stars and possessed what was said to be the Outer Academy's strongest defensive Martial Soul.
Yet now, he had been defeated by a new student.
"How is that possible?"
"Am I seeing things?"
"One of the Outer Academy Twin Stars, Xu Sanshi—the Outer Academy's strongest defense—was actually taken down in a single move!"
"..."
Shocked cries continued to ring out from the students on the street.
Xu Sanshi's defeat—being instantly defeated, at that—
had truly given them an unimaginable shock.
