Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

Chapter 16: Enrolling in Sh*tty Shrek

Each time a soul ring is absorbed, soul power will increase by at least one level.

Now that Huo Yuhao has absorbed two soul rings, it means that, apart from the soul power increase from absorbing the soul rings and his innate first-level soul power, the effect of his self-cultivation over the years is only level twenty-four.

He will be twelve years old soon, which means that he has cultivated twenty-four levels of soul power in about five years, averaging less than five levels of soul power per year.

This speed is not slow, but Huo Yuhao doesn't think there's anything to be proud of.

He believes that few people of his age can compare with him, but he sincerely feels that there is nothing to be proud of.

After all, he knows his own business; others are working hard, but he has a cheat.

He is Huo the Cheat, just waiting for a system to arrive; how can others compare?

Furthermore, he knows that his enemy has never been those children, but Tang San, who has already achieved the position of God King, an old monster who has lived for tens of thousands of years according to the timeline of Douluo Continent.

And there's also this: cultivation is always more difficult and slower as one progresses, and eventually, it becomes almost impossible to move forward.

Huo Yuhao looks far ahead and would never be complacent about his current small achievements.

Walking on the academy's wide avenue, the sides are filled with various lush plants, including many rare species.

Behind him, the teaching building's structure displays white, yellow, purple, and black colors, clearly distinguishing the levels according to the soul ring grades.

The white teaching building is for freshmen, the lowest first-year level.

Yellow represents the teaching buildings for second and third-year students, purple is for fourth and fifth-year students, and black is for sixth-year students, the highest grade in the outer court.

Graduating from the sixth grade allows one to receive a Shrek Academy outer court diploma.

Soon after, Huo Yuhao arrived at the dormitory building.

Shrek's dormitory building covers a very wide area.

Although it is a single building, it is divided into four areas: white, yellow, purple, and black.

Each area has its own exclusive entrance, which can be understood as separate units.

Like the teaching buildings, the different grades are reflected in the area colors.

Arriving at the entrance of the white area unit, Huo Yuhao saw a decrepit old man squinting his eyes comfortably leaning on a deck chair.

The sunlight fell on his simple cloth clothes, making him look so comfortable.

Outsiders could not feel the slightest aura from him; he seemed like an ordinary old man.

But Huo Yuhao didn't think so.

Shrek Academy couldn't possibly have ordinary people.

This person's ability to conceal his aura to such an extent was terrifying.

Combining his original memory, Huo Yuhao had roughly guessed the true identity of this person.

Without hesitation, Huo Yuhao strode into the dormitory building; he didn't want to stay with such an old monster for even a second.

Passing through the old corridor, according to the key number issued, Huo Yuhao quickly found his dormitory, room number one-four-five.

This was Huo Yuhao's dormitory, where he would be living for a long time to come.

Opening the door, the room's layout was immediately visible: a table, two bunk beds, two iron lockers, with mottled rust marks proving that these items were old.

There was also a lamp on the ceiling for lighting.

The lamp was a simple soul device, powered by soul power; the switch was a raised object on the wall.

Injecting soul power into it would light the lamp.

At this moment, accompanied by a loud noise, the dormitory door was kicked open, startling Huo Yuhao, who was concentrating on his cultivation.

Now was the peak of the school opening season, so the person who came must be his roommate.

Huo Yuhao looked up and saw a young man, about the same age as Huo Yuhao, with fair skin and a handsome appearance.

The most striking thing was his eyes, which were a peculiar pinkish-blue, and short hair of the same color as his eyes.

"Cleaned up, huh? Finally, it looks like a place where a person can live; I'm exhausted, young master."

Before Huo Yuhao could greet him, the young man plopped down on the table, complaining.

From his words, it was not difficult to guess that he had already been to the dormitory before, but seeing that the dormitory was too dirty, he didn't want to clean it, so he temporarily left, with the purpose of letting the later roommate clean it.

"You're also from this dormitory, right? You're quite sensible.

Seeing that you've cleaned the dormitory so well, I'll reluctantly allow you to live with me, but I have a few rules you need to remember: first, no bringing people back to the dormitory casually; second, no walking around the dormitory naked, it's annoying; third, no snoring at night; fourth, don't talk to me if you have nothing to do; fifth, you're responsible for the dormitory's cleanliness from now on, but don't touch my bed, understand?"

The young man rattled off a long list of rules.

"If you don't want to live here, you can get out; no one's stopping you."

Facing the young man's unreasonable demands, Huo Yuhao didn't indulge his bad habits and directly retorted.

As long as they are normal people, they will not like this kind of arrogant stuff, making it seem like they are more advanced than others, not the same species.

"You dare to scold me? It seems I have to set some rules for you; otherwise, you won't know who's the boss."

Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, the young man immediately exploded, his soul power surging, and he raised his fist to attack Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao had expected this; a golden light burst forth in his eyes, and a soul shock had already struck the young man.

In an instant, the young man felt a tearing pain in his brain and let out a scream, falling straight back unconscious.

In the last moment before passing out, he saw the two soul rings that appeared on Huo Yuhao, one yellow and one purple, and he understood that he had been too careless; he didn't expect that someone besides himself could absorb soul rings beyond their level.

Ignoring the young man who had fallen in front of his bed, Huo Yuhao continued to cultivate.

The reason he did this was because he knew the arrogance of these wealthy noble children.

If he took a step back today, it wouldn't matter, but if he really did, these guys would only become more demanding, and he wouldn't be able to live in peace in the future, so he gave the young man a warning to dispel the other party's arrogance in time.

Others may not know the identity of this young man, but Huo Yuhao knows it very well, and his characteristics are too obvious: Tang San's daughter, Tang Wutong, disguised as a man under the name Wang Dong, a vase.

The dormitory he moved into was different from Dai Yuhao's in the original drama, and the timeline should also be staggered.

He didn't expect that even so, he would be assigned to the same dormitory as Tang Wutong.

Is this the power of the God King?

It seems that Tang San's private escape to the lower realm was also intentionally condoned by the God King.

Huo Yuhao had reason to believe that Tang Wutong's encounter with him must have been secretly orchestrated by Tang San.

In this case, what daughter, what affection, are just tools for the God King to win people's hearts.

When the God King was young and worshiped Yu Xiaogang as his teacher, he knelt on the ground and called him 'a teacher for one day, a father for life,' how touching and filial he was.

What was the result?

After Tang San became a god, he took away his wife and parents, completely disregarding the relationship between teacher and student, and threw everything about being a teacher and a father to the winds.
