Chapter 8: First meeting with Xu Sanshi
After Huo Yuhao finished expressing his views, the eyes of all the classmates in the class converged on him.
Teacher Zhou Yi slowly recovered from her thoughts and said to Huo Yuhao with a serious expression, "Huo Yuhao, if you don't mind, could I convey your thoughts? I can't refute your ideas; perhaps you are correct."
As soon as she said this, the students began to discuss in low voices. Some students with slightly weaker Spirits also started to feel an urge to learn spirit tools.
"Alright, quiet down everyone. Before any changes to the teaching assignments, focus your minds on Spirit cultivation. The freshman assessment rules do not allow freshmen to use spirit tools in competitions. If you don't want to be eliminated, then cultivate seriously."
Teacher Zhou Yi shouted at the somewhat restless students.
"I don't mind, Teacher Zhou. These are just some of my thoughts. It would naturally be even better if they could help everyone."
This was precisely what Huo Yuhao wanted to convey to the higher-ups of Shrek, so there was no reason for him to disagree.
Yan Shaozhe, the current head of the Spirit Department, might not necessarily agree with his ideas. After all, he was an old-fashioned person who had long been hostile to spirit tools.
However, Mu En, as a strong proponent of the Soul Guidance Department's development, would definitely approve of his ideas. This theory could even be considered an opportunity for Mu En to promote the development of Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department.
What Mu En, the Sea Gods Pavilion Master, decided, Yan Shaozhe could only follow, even if he was dissatisfied.
Seeing that Huo Yuhao had nothing else to express, Teacher Zhou Yi continued the class, beginning to explain some knowledge related to Spirits.
Huo Yuhao listened carefully to these theoretical knowledge. This content was very important for both future cultivation and the condensation of soul cores. It was basic knowledge, so there was no reason not to listen carefully.
The morning quickly passed in study.
"This morning's class is over. We will continue physical training in the afternoon. Everyone go back and get some good rest at noon. For the next month, the intensity of training will not be much lower than today's. Be prepared, class dismissed." After Teacher Zhou Yi finished speaking, she closed her book and was the first to walk out of the classroom.
Seeing Teacher Zhou Yi walk out of the classroom, the students of Class One immediately began to complain.
Huo Yuhao did not join them but walked towards the cafeteria. Today's exercise volume was too high; he needed to replenish himself well.
Huo Yuhao hadn't quite figured out where the energy that emerged from Mysterious Heaven Skill to nourish his body came from when he was in an extreme state, but he figured it couldn't hurt to eat more to replenish himself.
Huo Yuhao ordered himself the most expensive nutritious meal again and began to eat heartily.
After finishing this meal, Huo Yuhao seized the time to return to the dormitory and began meditating, recovering his physical state while also cultivating spirit power.
At the same time, he looked at Wang Dong, who was taking a nap on the bed, feeling a bit speechless. Did she really not cultivate at all? Napping at noon, sleeping at night. No wonder her spirit power was only at level 20-something now.
Perhaps this was the benefit of being a descendant of a Divine King?
As soon as this thought arose, he immediately thought of Wang Dong's later experience of having her divine soul split. Huo Yuhao shivered, quickly continued to meditate, and indeed, it was better to rely on himself than others. He continued cultivating.
Seeing that it was almost time for the afternoon class, Huo Yuhao awoke from his meditation and walked towards the classroom for first-year Class One.
Not long after he left, Wang Dong also finished her nap and walked towards the classroom, not far behind Huo Yuhao.
Currently, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were basically in a state of no communication. Huo Yuhao found that when a person was truly busy, they really had no time to chat with those around them.
The afternoon class quickly began. Teacher Zhou Yi once again gathered all the students on the training ground.
"Put on these iron vests. Now start running. You are not allowed to stop until the dismissal bell rings. In this afternoon's assessment, the last-place student will be eliminated by me." Teacher Zhou Yi pointed to the iron vests made of fine iron nearby and said to the students.
Huo Yuhao still ran at full speed at the very front, with the rest of the students following behind.
Perhaps it was because Huo Yuhao was working so hard, but some students ran until their eyes were bloodshot, yet they still persisted.
After all, if someone who runs faster than you is still desperately persisting, you will inevitably feel some encouragement yourself.
Teacher Zhou Yi glanced at them from not far away, satisfied.
Soon, the dismissal bell rang. Teacher Zhou Yi looked at all the students of Class One who had persevered until the end, and she was in a good mood.
"You all performed well today. You actually all persevered until the end. Very good. I announce that no one will be eliminated today."
Hearing Teacher Zhou Yi's words, the few students running at the very back finally fainted with relief. They had long since reached their limit and were relying solely on willpower.
At this moment, a middle-aged man in white walked forward and began to use Spirit Ability to treat the somewhat overdrawn bodies of the students.
Huo Yuhao did not accept his treatment. Mysterious Heaven Skill could only strengthen his body and meridians in extreme states, and that life force was not good for him.
After changing his clothes, Huo Yuhao once again set up his grilled fish stall at the entrance of Shrek Academy.
If Huo Yuhao remembered correctly, today was the day Xu Sanshi would come to cause trouble.
Huo Yuhao sold grilled fish as usual, and as he was about to close his stall, he indeed saw an exceptionally beautiful girl leading several female students walk over.
Huo Yuhao estimated that this exceptionally beautiful female student should be Jiang Nannan.
"Junior, this grilled fish costs one silver coin per piece, which is a bit expensive. How about three bronze coins per piece? After deducting costs, you'd still make a profit." Jiang Nannan stepped forward and haggled.
"Senior, you're late. Let's not talk about the price. Regular customers know that my last four fish are reserved for friends."
Huo Yuhao pointed to the four grilled fish remaining on the grill and explained to Jiang Nannan. At the same time, his gaze looked at the seniors who had just bought grilled fish.
"Indeed, this junior's last four grilled fish every day are reserved for friends." A senior eating grilled fish nearby replied.
Just then, a gold coin flew over and got stuck on the grill.
"Kid, how dare you not sell?" A deep voice came, and a figure swiftly attacked, about to grab the grilled fish on the stove.
Huo Yuhao quickly put the grilled fish into his storage spirit tool, and with his right hand, he used Mysterious Jade Hand to clash head-on with Xu Sanshi.
Xu Sanshi and Huo Yuhao both retreated a few steps. Xu Sanshi was about to continue, but Huo Yuhao interrupted him.
"You're Senior Xu Sanshi, right? You're quite famous in the academy. A senior introduced you to me before, and I even saw you from afar."
Upon hearing this, Xu Sanshi immediately felt relieved and was about to speak again when he heard Huo Yuhao's subsequent words, and his face instantly turned pale.
"The academy strictly prohibits senior students from attacking junior students. I don't know what your relationship is with this senior, but Senior, you're really not calm. Don't worry, I will definitely report you."
"Junior, let's talk this over. I can compensate you with gold coins. Name your price." Xu Sanshi's attitude softened instantly.
"No need, Senior. I am a core disciple of the Soul Guidance Department. I wonder if you've heard of Teacher Fan Yu? He is my teacher, and I'm not really short on gold coins."
Huo Yuhao took out the badge representing his status as a core disciple of the Soul Guidance Department and put it on his chest, speaking in a very gentle tone.
Xu Sanshi instantly understood that he was in trouble. He recognized the badge of a core disciple of the Soul Guidance Department. Oh no, he had run into a rich person experiencing life.
Just then, Senior Apprentice-Brother Beibei and Tang Ya walked over. Seeing the confrontational scene, Senior Apprentice-Brother Beibei asked somewhat confusedly, "Yuhao, Sanshi, what's wrong with you two?"
Hearing this, Xu Sanshi seemed to see a life-saving straw and quickly rushed over to grab Senior Apprentice-Brother Beibei's arm, "Senior Apprentice-Brother Beibei, help me out. There might be a misunderstanding between me and this junior."
