Tang San stood in the center of the temple, the coldness in his eyes almost tangible. He slowly raised his hand, and a wisp of golden divine power appeared in his palm. His divine sense instantly pierced through the barrier of the Divine Realm and reached the Douluo Continent.
"Since Destruction insists on recommending you... then I'll make sure you don't even qualify to become a god."
His gaze pierced through the clouds.
"Although Shrek Academy was Destruction, the Clear Sky Sect still exists."
"Besides, with my protection, Huo Yuhao, the chosen one, will grow at an unprecedented speed. Even if you want to kill him ahead of time, with my protection, it's basically impossible for you to do so."
"Under my protection, once he's fully grown, I don't believe even he won't be your match."
"You're delusional about becoming a god? Defeat Huo Yuhao first!"
Tang San snorted coldly and turned to leave as well.
Meanwhile, our chosen one, Huo Yuhao, is currently squatting in a small alley on the outskirts of Shrek City, clutching the Shrek Academy freshman badge he just received.
He was overjoyed, feeling that he had finally ushered in a turning point in his life, escaping the nightmarish White Tiger Duke's Mansion, and after going through countless hardships, finally entered the number one academy on the continent through the Tang Sect's channels.
result...
Shrek has been defeated! All the elders are dead! The academy is finished!
"Run! If we don't leave, we'll all die!"
On the streets, countless Soul Master and students fled in panic, their cries and screams echoing everywhere.
In the distance, the once magnificent Shrek Academy is now nothing but a chilling aura and ruined buildings.
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao's lips twitched and veins throbbed on his forehead.
"I just started school!!!"
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
"Calm down, Huo Yuhao, calm down... This must be an illusion, it must be..."
He pinched himself hard.
"Ouch—it hurts!"
Great, it's not a dream.
Huo Yuhao looked up at the sky expressionlessly, inwardly roaring.
"God! Are you kidding me?!"
The White Tiger Duke's Mansion was wiped out, and he barely escaped, going through countless hardships to get into the Shrek Academy, only to find... the academy was also destroyed?!
"What kind of constitution do I have? Wherever I go, things collapse?"
"My luck is just too bad!"
He squatted in the corner, silently contemplating life, and fell into deep Self- doubt.
"What to do next? Continue wandering? Or just find a secluded mountain forest to live in seclusion?"
"But if that's the case, how am I supposed to get revenge?"
Just as he was thinking this, a lazy voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
"Oh my, Yuhao, your luck is... tsk tsk tsk, wherever you go, disaster strikes. In a way, that's good luck!"
Huo Yuhao: "..."
" Brother Sky Dream, are you serious?"
"Of course!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice was teasing. "Look, the White Tiger Duke's Mansion is gone, but you escaped; Shrek Academy is gone, but you escaped again. What does that prove? It proves you're incredibly lucky!"
Huo Yuhao's lips twitched. "... Thank you."
"Don't be discouraged!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm chuckled. "Anyway, you have Million-Year Soul Beast on you, I promise I'll take you flying!"
Huo Yuhao sighed helplessly, but felt inexplicably at ease.
He stood up, walked to the edge of the square, and watched as the surviving students gathered in twos and threes, each with a look of bewilderment and grief on their face.
He gripped the freshman badge tightly in his hand, the metal edge digging painfully into his palm.
"Sigh, it seems I'll have to try my luck elsewhere."
Just as Huo Yuhao was thinking this, he heard a series of hurried footsteps coming from behind him.
" Yuhao!"
The familiar voice made Huo Yuhao turn around abruptly.
Bei Bei was pulling Tang Ya along quickly. This usually gentle and refined Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Master now had bloodshot eyes, and her usually neat blue hair was disheveled and scattered in front of her forehead.
Tang Ya's face turned pale, and her lips trembled uncontrollably.
"Senior Brother Bei Bei, Teacher Xiao Ya." Huo Yuhao had barely opened his mouth when Bei Bei grabbed his shoulder.
"Thank goodness, you're alright." Bei Bei's voice was hoarse. " Xiao Ya and I searched the entire outer courtyard."
"I never expected that only we students would survive." Tang Ya said with a bitter expression.
Bei Bei gently patted Tang Ya's back, then turned to Huo Yuhao:
" Yuhao, you've seen the situation. Shrek has suffered an unprecedented blow."
Huo Yuhao nodded silently. He could feel the trembling in Bei Bei's hand, a testament to her suppressed grief.
"But we won't give up." Bei Bei took a deep breath. " Xiao Ya and I have already discussed it with several senior students from the inner academy. We want to rebuild Shrek Academy."
" Yuhao, we need everyone's strength. Would you like to join us?"
Huo Yuhao looked at the two senior and junior disciples in front of him and fell into deep thought.
To be honest, he had only just Shrek Academy and didn't really have any feelings for the school.
The vast Shrek Academy was wiped out so easily; perhaps the legends about them are false?
In her mind, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm lazily yawned. "Hey, isn't this great? You've got nothing to do anyway, and you can't go anywhere else, so just follow them."
"If you do this well, you'll be a founding hero, and you'll be set for life."
Huo Yuhao thought to himself, "Brother Sky Dream is right." So he took a step back and solemnly bowed to the two of them. "Senior Brother Bei Bei, Teacher Xiao Ya, please allow me to do my part as well."
Bei Bei's eyes lit up, and he patted Huo Yuhao's shoulder heavily. "Good! I knew I hadn't misjudged you!"
Tang Ya smiled through her tears and took out a small cloth bag from her Storage Soul Tool: "Here, these are the Hidden Weapon materials I brought from the Tang Sect. Although the Tang Sect is also... well, at least they can be of help."
Huo Yuhao took the cloth bag and felt its heavy weight.
He gazed at the dilapidated Shrek City in the distance, where the five characters " Shrek Academy " were once engraved, but now only faded traces remained.
"Where should we begin?" Huo Yuhao asked.
Bei Bei followed his gaze.
"Start with the first brick."
Meanwhile, Di Qiu'er was carrying the severely injured and unconscious Toji back to the Star Dou Forest.
Di Qiu'er was surrounded by a dazzling golden halo.
That was the unique aura of the Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, causing all the Soul Beast within a thousand miles to instinctively bow their heads and retreat.
In addition, the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress guarded him on the left and right, respectively, and there were also the Xiong Jun, the Myriad Demon King, and the Scarlet King protecting him.
It can be said that their journey was smooth and they encountered almost no obstacles, which allowed them to reach the Great Ferocious Land in the Star Dou Great Forest at top speed.
It is also one of the forbidden zones for humans.
Di Qiu'er carried Toji into the Core Zone of Great Ferocious Land. The soil beneath their feet was soft and damp. Towering ancient trees stood silently all around, their mottled bark covered with moss, exuding an ancient aura that had been accumulated over the years.
After passing through the last dense grove of ancient trees, the view suddenly opened up before us.
