Teaching the Disciple, Wearing Out the Master

Shrek Academy

Assessment Area

The spacious assessment area buzzed with voices as dense crowds of freshmen walked around and chatted.

Most of the students wore anxious expressions.

They feared failing the assessment and having to leave Shrek Academy.

"Attention, all freshmen!"

"Attention, all freshmen! Please enter the assessment area within ten minutes!"

"..."

Huo Yuhao and the others entered the assessment area, without even having time to observe the seeded contestants from the other classes.

They were surrounded by a group of female students.

"Wow! It's Yuhao!"

"Where? Where?"

"Yuhao! I love you!"

"Yuhao! Go for it!"

"..."

Though they were all freshmen, Huo Yuhao was remarkably popular.

Not only because he was handsome, easygoing, and unconventional, but also because of his battle with Xu Sanshi.

That had made him something of a minor celebrity in the academy.

Huo Yuhao wore an eye patch, a black uniform, and black low-heeled shoes, standing out completely from the surrounding Shrek Academy freshmen.

He smiled and waved at those fangirls.

"Hi!"

That gesture set the fangirls screaming.

"Wow! Ahhh! Lord Yuhao greeted me?"

"As if you deserve it! Lord Yuhao was greeting me!"

"I'm in love! I never thought Lord Yuhao would not only be so strong, but so kind too. He truly is my idol!"

"..."

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were both extremely jealous at the sight.

"Yuhao geigei! Let's go!"

"Yuhao, let's go!"

Without giving Huo Yuhao a chance to speak, the two of them carried him off... no, dragged him into a run.

That left the fangirls furious, crying out in frustration.

"Group Thirty-Three has almost gathered already, right?"

"Look, the teacher's here!"

All the students turned their gazes toward him.

"Very good. It seems that all six groups of students in our section have arrived. My name is Wang Yan, and I am your assessment teacher."

"Hello, Teacher Wang—"

The students bowed slightly and greeted him in unison.

"No need for such formalities."

"My teaching habit is to treat students as friends."

Shrek Academy's senior teacher, Wang Yan, said warmly.

Teacher Wang looked refined and gentle, with a pair of black-rimmed glasses resting on his face, giving him a scholarly air.

"From now on, you are all my little friends, so I do not wish to see anyone get hurt."

"Remember, this is an assessment. You must not harm your opponents!"

Teacher Wang reminded them with a smiling squint.

"Yes!"

The students answered in unison.

"First round, first match: Freshman Class One, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao!"

"Versus Freshman Class Three's Ouyang Junyi, Chen Junfeng, and Zhao Haochen!"

"The assessment begins!"

Huo Yuhao folded his arms, unwrapped a lollipop, and put it into his mouth. "First Soul Skill: God's-Eye View!"

Wang Dong received the God's-Eye View buff, her field of vision becoming as though she were a deity.

"Hehe, Yuhao's God's-Eye View is really powerful!!"

"Now watch me!!"

The corners of Wang Dong's lips lifted slightly as she used Martial Soul Possession.

Her shining butterfly wings startled their opponents.

"Wow!"

"Look! The Light Goddess Butterfly!!"

"Th-that's a legendary Martial Soul!"

"Don't panic! Let's defeat her together first!"

"..."

"Defeat me together?" Wang Dong revealed a disdainful smile. "Hmph!"

"Who do you think I am?!"

"Go!"

The two Battle Soul Master students charged forward, while the Food System Soul Master behind them used Soul Skills to supply and enhance them.

Wang Dong's beautiful, shining butterfly wings moved.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The two opponents were sent flying backward and crashed into the Food System Soul Master.

The match ended in a single move.

"Match over! Huo Yuhao's team wins!!"

Facing the sun, Wang Dong raised her index finger and smiled. "I told you! It was nothing."

The students below the stage began discussing it.

"So strong! Is she really a freshman?"

"Oh no, I might have to face her next match!"

Wang Yan praised, "What a formidable Strength Attack System Battle Soul Master!! Not bad! Very impressive!"

As Wang Yan spoke, he lightly pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and thought:

As expected of the seeded team from Zhou Yi's class. They really are extraordinary!

That Level Twenty-Four Strength Attack System Battle Soul Master truly possesses exceptional strength...

As he thought, Wang Yan looked toward Xiao Xiao.

That girl is also a two-ringed Soul Grandmaster. She should have something special as well.

But...

Wang Yan looked at the seemingly indifferent Huo Yuhao on the stage.

This team is called Huo Yuhao's team, which means this boy is the true captain.

How can the core member of this team possess only a Ten-Year Soul Ring?

His cultivation barely meets Shrek Academy's entrance requirements.

And I cannot tell at all what ability he used.

What exactly is going on?!

Forget it. They should still have five matches today.

I will understand sooner or later.

"..."

Nighttime

Ma Xiaotao brought Huo Yuhao into her room.

She challenged Huo Yuhao to a spar.

Huo Yuhao had no choice but to teach her everything once more, bringing out the ultimate art of Feng Baobao, a supreme expert from his previous life.

After an intense bout of sparring.

The bathroom, balcony... and every corner of the room bore traces of their battle.

Ma Xiaotao once again ended the battle by surrendering after passing out.

Morning

Ma Xiaotao slowly woke up and said in surprise, "I broke through?"

Ma Xiaotao's Soul Power Level had risen from Level Sixty-Six to Level Sixty-Seven.

At her original cultivation speed, even if she completely suppressed her Evil Fire, it would have taken several months to advance.

Huo Yuhao pulled Ma Xiaotao into his arms. "Self-Created Soul Skill: Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Method."

"How was it? Useful, right?"

It was a dual-cultivation spell technique Huo Yuhao had painstakingly researched in his previous life.

A divine skill that had once helped countless beauties from his previous life grow stronger.

It only required sparring to increase both parties' cultivation.

The longer the sparring lasted, the better the effect. The more combat techniques used during the sparring, the better the effect.

Why had Ma Xiaotao broken through so quickly?

Mainly because she was exceptionally gifted. In terms of endurance, a single battle could last until dawn.

She instinctively mastered combat techniques without a teacher.

Her techniques flowed together seamlessly. She was simply a woman born for battle.

Ma Xiaotao gave a seductive smile. "You little rascal, I never expected you to have such a Self-Created Soul Skill?"

"Tell me. Have you sparred with other women?"

Ma Xiaotao grabbed Huo Yuhao's divine weapon.

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't mess around?"

A trace of panic appeared on Huo Yuhao's face.

"Are you going to tell me or not?"

Ma Xiaotao kneaded it as she asked.

Huo Yuhao chuckled. "No. I swear, you're the only one?"

For now, you were the only one on Douluo Continent. As for the future, who knew.

Ma Xiaotao released her hand, her slender jade fingers gathering up her vivid blood-red hair. "Little Yuhao, did I hurt you?"

"Let me apologize to you..."

As she spoke, Ma Xiaotao bent down and lowered her head.

Huo Yuhao: Unbelievable. Ma Xiaotao had only learned for two days, yet she was already so skilled!

It truly answered the old saying: teach the disciple, wear out the master!
