Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

Chapter 15: The Little Boy Selling Grilled Fish

Huo Yuhao ignored the others' grumbling and was planning to find a place to stay. It was already late, and Shrek Academy's registration assessment was suspended for the day, so he would have to go again tomorrow.

Just then, an unexpected scene occurred. A black shadow came before Huo Yuhao with lightning speed, throwing a gold soul coin at him. "Go on, keep grilling fish," the person commanded in an unquestionable tone.

"Sorry, we're closed for the day. Please come again tomorrow," Huo Yuhao said calmly, not bothering to pick up the gold soul coin on the ground.

Whoosh!

In the next moment, the person suddenly appeared in front of Huo Yuhao, his large hand tightly gripping Huo Yuhao's neck, lifting him into the air.

"What are you? How dare you speak to me like that? Everyone in Shrek Academy has to give me, Xu Sanshi, face. Disrespecting Nannan is disrespecting me."

"Oh, how impressive!" Huo Yuhao could now clearly see the person. He looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, tall and slender, with thick eyebrows, tiger eyes, a straight nose, and a square mouth, quite handsome. The person announced his name, which reminded Huo Yuhao of his background. Xu Sanshi, with the martial soul Xuanwu Tortoise, came from the Xuanming Sect, and was one of the future Shrek Seven Monsters, as well as Jiang Nannan's pursuer. In the original plot, Dai Yuhao had argued with him for not selling grilled fish to Jiang Nannan. He didn't expect this cliché to happen to Huo Yuhao again.

Combined with Xu Sanshi's words, it was clear that he was acting because of Jiang Nannan. What a complete simp! Huo Yuhao's face was extremely gloomy. It was fine for him to chase girls, but to step on him to show off his power? He wouldn't stand for that.

"So, you're quite tough!" Xu Sanshi seemed to be hit where it hurt, his anger rising. Black light surged around him, and he wanted to give Huo Yuhao an unforgettable lesson.

Wang Qing had already hidden in the shop. He wanted to help but didn't dare. He recognized the black clothes the young man was wearing as Shrek Academy's uniform. Shrek Academy students had always been domineering and no one dared to provoke them. It wasn't that they were too powerful to be dealt with, but Shrek Academy was known for protecting its own, which led to no one daring to provoke Shrek Academy students.

He was just a small Soul Grandmaster and couldn't withstand the revenge of these hooligans.

"Stop!" At that moment, a delicate shout and another loud voice sounded at the same time, the latter filled with anxiety and worry.

Hearing the shout, both Huo Yuhao and Xu Sanshi looked towards the source of the sound.

The people who came were none other than Bei Bei and Tang Ya, who had arrived late. When Bei Bei saw Huo Yuhao being held by the neck and saw the strong golden light in his eyes, he knew something bad was about to happen.

"Stop!" Bei Bei shouted anxiously, quickly stepping forward to pull Xu Sanshi away, forcing a smile at Huo Yuhao. "Yuhao, misunderstanding, misunderstanding. This is my friend. Can you give me some face?"

Seeing that it was Bei Bei, Huo Yuhao didn't want to cause any more trouble, and the golden light in his eyes slowly subsided.

Xu Sanshi quietly pulled Bei Bei aside. "Bei Bei, who is this guy?" Xu Sanshi knew that Bei Bei wouldn't act without a reason. There must be a reason for him to do this.

"I'm not very clear about the specifics, but don't provoke him. If I had been a step late, you would have been in trouble. Apologize to him later," Bei Bei said, recalling the scene of fighting the Mandala Snake. It was because the Mandala Snake's spirit was severely injured by Huo Yuhao's attack that he was able to toy with it. Otherwise, if the Mandala Snake had focused on escaping, he wouldn't have been able to catch up even if he whipped his horse.

Bei Bei was almost certain that Huo Yuhao hadn't used his full strength at the time. He understood this, as one should always be wary of others. In addition, Huo Yuhao had absorbed the Blood Soul Hogs' soul ring and obtained a soul bone, Bei Bei was sure that Huo Yuhao's strength must have been improved again, so it was unwise for Xu Sanshi to clash with him. If it were him, it would be fine, but Xu Sanshi didn't even have a basic understanding of Huo Yuhao and could easily be misled by his outward appearance.

On the other side, while Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi were talking, a girl wearing a purple Shrek Academy uniform came to Huo Yuhao's side and asked with concern, "How are you?" Her tone was apologetic.

The person who came was the same one who had shouted with Bei Bei earlier, the hot lady who had been queuing earlier. Xu Sanshi had acted against Huo Yuhao to curry favor with her.

Huo Yuhao looked up and saw that the girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a slender figure, orange-gold wavy hair, and skin as white and tender as a baby's. Her bright eyes were like a pool of clear water, and her stunning face was matched with her cultivation, giving her a unique aura. Other women paled in comparison to her. No wonder Xu Sanshi pestered her so much. Huo Yuhao remembered that Xu Sanshi in the original plot had been a playboy who frequented brothels, but he had turned over a new leaf after meeting Jiang Nannan. Looking at the girl in front of him, Huo Yuhao had to admit that Xu Sanshi's taste in women was indeed impeccable.

Jiang Nannan, one of the future Shrek Seven Monsters, was brainwashed and became a loyalist to Shrek. It had to be said that these people were pitiful, being played by others without realizing it. Huo Yuhao saw through it. He seemed to have a good relationship with Bei Bei and Tang Ya, but that was all deliberate, including coming to Shrek. He wouldn't join the Tang Sect or become a loyalist to Shrek, but he had to at least show a sense of closeness. All of this was done for Tang San's benefit, so that Tang San would feel at ease. Everyone knew that people with feelings and righteousness were easier to control, including when Huo Yuhao reached the realm of a true god, he would still have to endure for a long time before he had enough strength to counter Tang San. This time would be very long, but Huo Yuhao had no choice. He had his own pride, how could he become a slave?

These thoughts only flashed through his mind. On the surface, Huo Yuhao didn't reveal anything. He returned a polite smile to Jiang Nannan, "No need to worry, I'm fine. Besides, this has nothing to do with you."

Jiang Nannan smiled, thinking that this kid was a bit interesting, with clear distinctions between gratitude and resentment, and didn't feel dissatisfied with her because Xu Sanshi had acted for her. In fact, she also knew that her concern was superfluous. Judging from Bei Bei's reaction, if the two really clashed, Xu Sanshi would probably be the one to suffer.

When Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi returned, Huo Yuhao was nowhere to be seen. They asked and found out that Huo Yuhao had taken the money from the boss and left. Hearing this, Xu Sanshi breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't have to lower his face to apologize. He was a very face-conscious person, and God knew how difficult it was for him to apologize.

The next day, at Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao and several other freshmen who had passed the test walked into Shrek Academy under the guidance of a senior student.

After walking for a while, ten granite statues appeared in front of them.

The statues were divided into two rows, three in front and seven in back, cast extremely tall. For some reason, even though they were inanimate objects, they gave people a sense of transcendence.

In the middle of the first row was an old man with square glasses, a smiling expression that gave people a cunning feeling, and a face that was hard to look at. His chin protruded forward, his cheekbones were a little wide, and his nose was hooked. The whole combination was very uncoordinated. If you had to use something to describe it, you could only say that the face looked a bit like a warped shoe sole.

Huo Yuhao and several freshmen frowned. Although they wouldn't judge people by their appearance, they had to say that the statue was ugly beyond measure, and that this kind of person represented Shrek's image, was it really okay? Wouldn't it be a eyesore?

On both sides of the old man were an ordinary-looking middle-aged man and a graceful middle-aged woman.

Huo Yuhao knew that these were the founders of Shrek, Dean Flender and his brothers and sister-in-law, collectively known as the Golden Iron Triangle. Triangle was indeed very suitable to describe their relationship.

Behind them were the original Shrek Seven Monsters. Each of the seven had their own characteristics, the men were handsome and dashing, and the women were beautiful and charming, with long legs, thin waists, and big breasts, the so-called Shrek Three Beauties.

Actually, that was all there was to it. There were many beauties on Douluo Continent. Wasn't the former Tianshui Academy full of beauties? If not, go to the Emperor's harem and see, how many of those concubines were worse than the so-called Shrek Three Beauties? It was just that their reputation had gone up and people were blindly exaggerating them.

The sound of his forehead colliding with the stone ground was not small, showing that the senior student was sincere.

The freshmen looked strange, wondering if this person had something wrong with his head.

The senior student, seeing that the freshmen had not reacted, frowned slightly and reminded them with displeasure, "The great, benevolent Sea God defeated the evil Spirit Hall, saving countless people and making us prosperous and healthy, bathed in the glory of the great Sea God. The great Sea God should be worshiped by us."

The freshmen didn't listen to his nonsense and just bowed symbolically.

The senior student was annoyed, but he didn't dare to offend them too much, after all, none of those who could enter Shrek were simple characters.

……

Huo Yuhao walked out of a teaching building, holding two sets of brand new school uniforms and a white badge representing Shrek Academy's junior students. Of course, the bedding was also essential, and Huo Yuhao had already bought everything in the morning.

It is worth mentioning that after absorbing the Blood Soul Hog's soul ring last time, Huo Yuhao's soul power level jumped to level twenty-seven, and there were already signs of breaking through level twenty-eight. It seemed perverted and unparalleled, but in fact, it was not. When he was nearly ten years old, his soul power reached level ten, but because he had not obtained a soul ring, his accumulated soul power could not be broken through. Until recently, he successively absorbed the two great soul rings of Tianmeng Iceworm and Blood Soul Hog, plus the previous accumulation, which allowed his soul power to break through to level twenty-seven in one fell swoop.
