It's Him, It's Him, It's Definitely Him

"Show us your martial soul and all of its abilities one by one. Only then can we believe your soul rings aren't fake."

Faced with the senior student's continued pressure, Huo Yuhao remained completely calm. He had absolute confidence in his own strength.

Meanwhile, in the Dean of Studies' office, the students from earlier had arrived to find Du Weilun.

After hearing their account, Du Weilun said in disbelief, "You're saying that Beibei brought a new student with three purple soul rings but no recommendation letter, and he's causing trouble at the East City Gate just to join Shrek?"

The second- and third-year students said, "Yes, Director Du. We couldn't tell whether his soul rings were real, so we didn't dare make a decision on our own. We had no choice but to come find you to deal with this."

"Alright, I understand. I'll go handle this right now. Someone actually dares cause trouble at Shrek? I'd like to know who gave him the courage." Du Weilun immediately got up and headed for Shrek City's East City Gate.

He wanted to see just what gave that brat Huo Yuhao such confidence.

At the East City Gate, Huo Yuhao's exposed soul rings had already drawn a large enough crowd.

Tang Ya looked somewhat at a loss as she watched the onlookers gathered around them. "I really didn't expect Huo Yuhao merely revealing his soul rings to attract so many people."

"Normal. After all, no one, past or present, has ever managed to become a Soul Elder at Huo Yuhao's age while possessing nothing but thousand-year soul rings." Beibei watched the situation helplessly, though he had expected this much.

Xue Ningbing paid no attention to the other students. Right now, she only wanted to focus all her attention on Huo Yuhao. Her eyes held no one else but him.

The corners of Huo Yuhao's lips slowly curved upward. The moment the Ice Qilin appeared, the temperature within several dozen meters of him began to drop continuously.

"Did any of you notice that it suddenly got really cold?"

It was clearly noon, yet they actually felt cold.

Snowflakes that should not have existed appeared inexplicably in the sky. The moment they touched the ground, they froze into ice.

Some of the surrounding students recklessly wanted to keep watching, so they chose to huddle together for warmth. Most of them were couples, followed by brothers.

Most people left to save their own lives. They had no choice; the extreme cold Huo Yuhao released had already exceeded what they could endure. It felt like they would freeze to death if they stayed for even a few more minutes.

"Why hasn't Director Du arrived yet? It's really cold." If this senior's martial soul had not possessed a fire attribute that allowed him to resist part of the cold, he would probably have frozen into an ice block.

"It's really cold." As someone with a plant martial soul, Tang Ya was especially vulnerable to ice in some respects. Fortunately, she could draw a little warmth from Beibei's embrace.

Xue Ningbing, who stood alone, felt nothing at all. She thought this level of ice was nothing, but if possible, she also wanted to lean into Huo Yuhao's arms like Tang Ya.

Wait, Ice Empress, what are you thinking? How could I possibly have such thoughts about Huo Yuhao? Ah, he's the auspicious beast. Then it's fine.

Du Weilun arrived at the East City Gate, filled with anger. "Who is causing trouble at Shrek and releasing such intense cold?"

Seeing the Dean of Studies arrive, all the students pointed at Huo Yuhao.

It's him, it's him, it's definitely him, our little genius~

"You're Huo Yuhao, right? Come to my office." Without wasting any words, Du Weilun directly invited Huo Yuhao to his office for tea.

Du Weilun glanced at Beibei, Tang Ya, and the others. "Beibei, Tang Ya, and that girl, you three come to my office with Huo Yuhao."

Du Weilun's office.

Du Weilun said to Beibei, Tang Ya, and Xue Ningbing, "You three go outside first. I need to speak with Huo Yuhao alone."

After hearing Du Weilun's words, Beibei, Tang Ya, and Xue Ningbing said nothing more and left his office.

"Tell me, what were you thinking? Without a city lord's recommendation letter, how did you dare come to Shrek?" Du Weilun directly reprimanded Huo Yuhao for his actions.

Huo Yuhao spoke bluntly. "Because I'm strong, and I have another identity. I believe Shrek definitely won't refuse me."

"However, before that, I need Director Du to see my martial soul and my Ultimate Ice."

When he said "Ultimate Ice," Huo Yuhao deliberately emphasized the words.

"Ultimate Ice!?" Du Weilun reacted intensely upon hearing those words. His reaction was exactly what Huo Yuhao had expected.

"Ice Qilin, appear!" Huo Yuhao no longer held anything back and directly released his Ultimate Ice.

In an instant, Du Weilun's entire office was frozen solid by Huo Yuhao's Ultimate Ice, becoming a house of ice. Thick ice covered the room, and the temperature immediately dropped to minus one hundred and fifty degrees Celsius.

This was the temperature of Ultimate Ice.

"Ah-choo!" If Du Weilun had not been a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse, he might have been frozen to death by this ice.

"Stop! Hurry up and withdraw your martial soul and Ultimate Ice! I know your Ultimate Ice is real!" Du Weilun wanted Huo Yuhao to stop releasing the power of Ultimate Ice.

Even Du Weilun had not expected Shrek to have Ultimate Ice delivered right to its doorstep.

Hearing Du Weilun's words, Huo Yuhao withdrew his Ultimate Ice. The moment he did, all the ice that had covered the room disappeared. If not for the lingering chill on Du Weilun's body, he would have almost thought he had been hallucinating.

Du Weilun regained his composure and said, "Then explain your other identity."

Huo Yuhao said emotionlessly, "An orphan with no background whatsoever, not even registered in any of the Three Great Empires."

"Cough, cough." Du Weilun was stunned when he heard Huo Yuhao's words.

Indeed, a genius like this was even more suitable for Shrek to cultivate. This way, they would not need to worry about him leaving Shrek later.

"Place your hand on the crystal ball and test your soul power." Du Weilun handed the crystal ball to Huo Yuhao.

After touching the crystal ball, Huo Yuhao injected his soul power into it. The crystal ball then emitted a nearly full azure radiance.

Du Weilun said in astonishment, "Level thirty-seven!"
