Disrupting the Plans to Join Shrek
"You'd better give me a reasonable explanation!" A cold light flashed in Bei Bei's eyes, and killing intent stirred in his heart.
This man had provoked him again and again, and had already earned his death.
"Yuhao, what's your Martial Soul? What level was your Innate Soul Power?"
Hui Ye's gaze fell on Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao said, "My Martial Soul is my eyes. I call it Spirit Eyes. My Innate Soul Power was only level 1."
Hui Ye turned to Bei Bei.
"You heard him. His Innate Soul Power was only level 1.
"What kind of place is Shrek Academy? It only accepts geniuses and never cares whether other Soul Masters live or die.
"Yuhao's aptitude is too low. He doesn't meet Shrek Academy's requirements at all."
Huo Yuhao's eyes dimmed. He had to admit that Hui Ye was right.
Tian Meng coughed softly, bringing Huo Yuhao back to his senses.
Bei Bei and Tang Ya were both stunned. They hadn't expected Huo Yuhao's aptitude to be so poor.
This was a critical moment in their confrontation, and his face was at stake. Bei Bei was not about to admit defeat.
"But Huo Yuhao's first Soul Skill is very special. It has a powerful support effect, so Shrek Academy will consider admitting him."
Huo Yuhao shared the effects of his Soul Skill with Hui Ye and explained with forced resolve, "My first Soul Skill came from absorbing the Soul Ring of a ten-year Wind Baboon..."
Hui Ye experienced the effects of Huo Yuhao's million-year Spiritual Detection Soul Skill.
He had to admit, it was damn impressive.
It provided an all-round, three-dimensional scan of an enemy's weaknesses and vulnerabilities, without a single blind spot. It was practically a human radar!
"This Soul Skill is certainly distinctive, but its level is too low. It's only ten years old. Shrek Academy will definitely reject Yuhao because of that!" Hui Ye spoke with certainty.
Huo Yuhao cried out in anguish inwardly.
But my first Soul Skill is a million years old.
Unfortunately, I can't reveal that!
I'm playing the pig to eat the tiger, but now I really am going to end up a pig.
Tian Meng said, "Yuhao, hold steady!"
Bei Bei's expression was exceptionally ugly. He knew Shrek Academy's rules all too well.
Level 1 Innate Soul Power and a Ten-Year Soul Ring were undoubtedly a death sentence for Huo Yuhao.
No, I absolutely can't let this guy have his way. Even if I have to use my connections back at the academy, I have to get them to accept Huo Yuhao.
Thinking of Huo Yuhao's aptitude, he was certain that other academies wouldn't want to accept him either.
Bei Bei composed himself. "The state of Huo Yuhao's Martial Soul is indeed a serious drawback. So, in your opinion, which academy would suit him?"
Hui Ye smiled faintly. "The Body Sect is the best fit. They never look at aptitude. As long as someone has a Body Martial Soul, they'll take them.
"And the people of the Body Sect are very protective of their own. Huo Yuhao definitely won't be ostracized there!"
Huo Yuhao knew nothing about the Body Sect, but the word "ostracized" struck a sore spot in his heart.
"So you're from the Body Sect. No wonder you've repeatedly interfered with Shrek Academy's plans."
Understanding dawned on Bei Bei. He had found the real reason Hui Ye kept disparaging Shrek Academy.
"What kind of faction is the Body Sect?"
Huo Yuhao was tempted and couldn't help asking.
Hui Ye said, "Their sect doesn't have many members, but its Soul Masters are quite strong. Most importantly, their sect can make your Spirit Eyes Martial Soul undergo a Second Awakening!"
"Second Awakening?"
"It can take your Martial Soul to the next level. Even your first Soul Skill will be greatly strengthened!"
Huo Yuhao's breathing quickened. If his million-year Soul Skill grew even stronger, just how powerful would it become?
Tian Meng urged him frantically in his mind, "Yuhao, the Body Sect it is! Go to the Body Sect. It's right for you."
Bei Bei's expression turned frighteningly grim.
"The Body Sect has always acted viciously and ruthlessly, and they're Shrek Academy's mortal enemies. Huo Yuhao, you absolutely must not go."
"Hey, isn't that going too far? He's free to choose whichever academy he wants.
"And let me make one thing clear: I'm not from the Body Sect. My Martial Soul is a Beast Martial Soul.
"Of course, Huo Yuhao has another academy he can choose.
"That's the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
"Yuhao's Spirit Eyes Martial Soul is well suited to making Soul Tools."
Huo Yuhao's eyes widened. Good grief, there were so many academies he'd never even heard of.
Hui Ye's recommendations were enormously important to him.
Bei Bei's face flushed red.
"You actually dared recommend a faction from an enemy nation to Huo Yuhao. What are you plotting?
"Ah, I know.
"You're a spy sent by the Sun Moon Empire!"
Hui Ye burst out laughing. He truly hadn't expected Bei Bei's imagination to run so wild.
"We were only talking about where Yuhao should go to school, and you managed to drag spies into it. Impressive, impressive.
"Is this how Shrek Academy does things?
"You're certainly good at framing and falsely accusing innocent people."
Hui Ye had now seen the full extent of Shrek Academy's Tang-dog style of conduct.
They could conjure up a baseless accusation as easily as turning a hand.
"Cut the nonsense. Do you dare fight me? I'll only use my first Soul Skill.
"If I win, Huo Yuhao comes to Shrek Academy with me.
"If I lose, you can take Huo Yuhao away."
Bei Bei's voice was ice-cold.
Huo Yuhao's favorable impression of Bei Bei instantly plummeted to rock bottom.
A major decision about his own life was being treated as a wager!
Hui Ye dusted off his backside and stood up. "If you want to fight me, just say so. I refuse to make a major decision about Yuhao's life a wager!"
Bei Bei released his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul and said coldly, "Cut the nonsense. Release your Martial Soul."
Huo Yuhao opened his mouth, intending to stop them, but Tang Ya pulled him away to watch.
Tang Ya cupped her hands around her mouth. "Bei Bei, beat that brat's face into a pig's head!"
Huo Yuhao asked in his mind, "Brother Sky Dream, will they be all right?"
"I know what you mean. If Bei Bei fights dirty and dares to strike underhandedly, I'll step in and stop him." Tian Meng was brimming with confidence.
"All right, then I can rest easy."
During this exchange, Huo Yuhao had come to hold Hui Ye, his benefactor, in very high regard. He didn't want Hui Ye to get hurt because of him.
"Martial Soul Possession!"
Hui Ye summoned his Martial Soul.
Everyone was stunned when they saw Hui Ye's Martial Soul.
His Martial Soul was too strange. What kind of Beast Martial Soul wore clothes, anyway?
And then there was Wolffy's expression: his smile somehow looked goofy and cute, sleazy, fierce, and crafty all at once.
Most importantly, why was his Soul Ring gray?
In short, everything about his Martial Soul radiated an air of strangeness.
"What kind of Martial Soul is that?"
Bei Bei asked, "And what's with the color of your Soul Ring?"
"My Martial Soul is Wolffy. As for my Soul Ring... that's none of your business!"
"Putting on a mysterious act!"
Bei Bei snorted coldly, said no more, and charged with his fist raised.
"Bring it on!"
Hui Ye shouted and met Bei Bei's fist with his own.
The next second.
A crisp crack rang out. Hui Ye flew backward, his arm twisted and deformed, the broken bone piercing his skin and exposing stark white bone.
"Ah!!!"
"It hurts like hell!"
"You hit so hard!"
Everyone present was dumbfounded.
Bei Bei stared wide-eyed at Hui Ye rolling around on the ground, unable to believe what he was seeing.
He swore he had only used thirty percent of his strength. He hadn't even used a Soul Skill.
Besides, Hui Ye was in a state of Martial Soul Possession too. By all rights, his Soul Power should have protected his body.
How had things turned out like this?
"Damn it, his Martial Soul is too weak."
"That must be it!"
He turned to look at Huo Yuhao and Tang Ya.
He immediately saw Huo Yuhao's expression. It was anger, utter fury!
What Huo Yuhao thought was secondary. The crucial person was Tang Ya. She was looking at him as though seeing him for the first time.
This is bad!
