Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

Chapter 17: The So-Called Monster Academy

Its essence boils down to two words: value. Yu Xiaogang's talent was extremely poor, and his vision was narrow. He couldn't provide Tang San with any help after he became a god. It wouldn't be a problem if he had a loyal disciple who would help his teacher, but Yu Xiaogang happened to meet Tang San, a worthless individual. Who was Tang San? An orphan. The Tang Sect kindly raised him and taught him martial arts. But what did he do? He stole the Tang Sect's inner sect techniques and secrets, and was eventually hunted to death, inexplicably transmigrating to the Douluo Continent. So, it's fair to say that Tang San is an ungrateful dog. It's no surprise that Yu Xiaogang ended up miserable in his later years.

With just a little thought, Huo Yuhao could guess that Tang Wutong had Tang San's influence on her. However, his attack just now was also restrained, merely a small scuffle, not enough to trigger Tang San's methods.

"Huh? What's wrong with me?" Wang Dong groggily opened his eyes, his head still throbbing slightly. He shook his head, and after clearing his head a bit, he realized that he was sitting on the ground in a rather undignified manner. He immediately flipped over and stood up, then saw Huo Yuhao still in a state of cultivation. Recalling the previous scene, he couldn't help but grit his teeth in hatred. However, he didn't attack again. Huo Yuhao was currently cultivating, and he wouldn't stoop to such sneaky behavior.

Gently exhaling a breath of stale air, Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes. A flash of golden light flickered in his pupils. His stomach rumbled in protest. Turning his head to look out the window, he saw that the sky outside was already darkening. Huo Yuhao stopped cultivating and got up to leave the dormitory. After asking around, Huo Yuhao arrived at the cafeteria. It was currently mealtime, and there were already many people queuing up to get food. Huo Yuhao looked over and saw that there were a total of eight food windows. The prices were marked above the windows, increasing from right to left. The prices at the leftmost window were actually calculated in gold soul coins. Huo Yuhao randomly chose a window on the right side to queue up. For no other reason than the fact that the lower the price, the lower the quality of the food. He couldn't afford anything too expensive, so he could only choose something in the middle.

After paying five copper soul coins, Huo Yuhao received a simple meal: two dishes, a soup, and a portion of rice. The dishes were fried sweet potatoes and scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and the soup was tomato and egg soup. The price wasn't cheap, but it wasn't too expensive either.

However, now came the problem. Apart from the people coming and going, there was nothing else in the huge cafeteria. There was only a sink on one side. There were no tables or benches. There were also several large characters above the cafeteria door: 'All food is not allowed to be taken out of the cafeteria.' Everyone was squatting on the ground to eat, with their lunch boxes placed on the ground, a large group of people gathered together. If you dressed sloppily, others might mistake you for a beggar from the Beggar Clan from afar.

Huo Yuhao smiled. This was Shrek's consistent style. It seemed like they wouldn't feel right if the Monster Academy didn't do something strange, simply putting on a show to impress the public.

Flander, the founding dean of Shrek Academy, had initially declared the slogan of only accepting monsters and not ordinary people. However, the slogan was shouted loudly, and fortunately, the students were indeed outstanding, earning glory for the academy. But what's funny is that Flander was indeed ordinary to the point of being the weakest dean in Shrek Academy's history. It's unknown whether he should admire his foresight or feel ashamed and embarrassed when he finds out.

Helplessly, Huo Yuhao could only quickly gobble up his meal and leave in a hurry. He really didn't want to stay in that cafeteria any longer. They could clearly put a few tables, but they insisted on making the students squat there, making it seem like they were feeding animals.

Returning to the dormitory, Huo Yuhao ignored Wang Dong, who was preparing to talk to him, and began to continue cultivating. Although it wasn't hard to imagine that Wang Dong's daughter's appearance should be stunning, Huo Yuhao wasn't here to pick up girls. Moreover, the thought of Wang Dong being Tang San's daughter unconsciously aroused a strong sense of disgust in Huo Yuhao.

"…"

Wang Dong choked, his face changing between green and red, scolding Huo Yuhao in his heart for not knowing what's good for him.

Huo Yuhao's cultivation continued until one o'clock in the morning before he stopped. He was considered quite diligent. There was no other way. The enemies he faced were extraordinarily strong. He could only constantly squeeze himself in order to improve faster. However, he couldn't overdo it either. Everything in the world emphasizes relaxation and balance. Soul master cultivation is the same. If you are tense for a long time, it is easy to backfire.

The idea that cultivation can replace sleep is complete nonsense. Soul masters are also human.

At five o'clock in the morning, Huo Yuhao got up on time. This was a biological clock he had developed over a long period of time. Huo Yuhao didn't have the habit of eating breakfast, and besides, he didn't have much appetite when he thought of the academy's cafeteria.

After washing up, it was still in the enrollment phase of Shrek. The opening ceremony would be held in two days, so Huo Yuhao didn't need to attend classes yet. Returning to the dormitory, Wang Dong was still sound asleep. Huo Yuhao didn't disturb him and sat on the bed to continue his boring cultivation.

Once he entered meditation, several hours passed again. When he opened his eyes again, it was already noon, time for lunch. Wang Dong was also nowhere to be seen. Huo Yuhao didn't go to the cafeteria again, but turned and left the academy. He planned to solve his meals outside from now on.

On a whim, Huo Yuhao decided to go to Wang Qing's restaurant to take a look. After all, he had a 20% share of the profits there, although it was only from the grilled fish.

Wang Qing's restaurant was actually very close to Shrek Academy. The location was quite good. I don't know how many people were envious. The business should have been booming, but unfortunately, the chef's skills were not good, turning a good trump card into bronze.

Jun Zailai was the name of Wang Qing's restaurant. From afar, Huo Yuhao saw that a long queue had already formed in front of the restaurant. Among them, Huo Yuhao also saw a few familiar faces, who seemed to be the people who had bought his grilled fish yesterday.

Huo Yuhao strode forward. The waiter saw him and hurriedly greeted him, nodding and bowing. "Oh, you're here. Please come in quickly. The boss instructed us to treat you well if you come!"

Huo Yuhao smiled politely and walked into the restaurant with the waiter. He came here for nothing else but to simply eat. At least he had some connection with the boss, so he didn't have to queue up like the others.

Huo Yuhao's preferential treatment immediately made the other people in line feel dissatisfied. The crowd immediately clamored, "What does this mean? Why doesn't he have to queue?"

"What's wrong? Do you think we don't deserve special treatment because we don't have money?"

Such shouts were endless.

However, before the waiter could explain, someone in the crowd spoke up, "Shut up. He has a relationship with the owner of this restaurant. He was the one selling the grilled fish yesterday morning. Is it wrong to take a shortcut?"

"Who the hell said that? Step out and let me…" The person who spoke before immediately jumped out, cursing. However, this ruthless person, who was retorted, immediately became honest after seeing the person who retorted him, like a quail, obediently returning to the crowd. It was only because the person who spoke back to him was wearing the Shrek Academy uniform.

Everyone around laughed, but they could also understand this brother's actions. People from Shrek Academy have always been arrogant. Although these people all have some background, they dare not provoke the powerful and protective Shrek, and can only grit their teeth and endure being bullied, let alone take the initiative to cause trouble.
