At the top floor of a tall building, a black-haired girl with twin ponytails sat cross-legged at the edge of the steps, smiling as she looked at the message in her hand.
"Hehehe! Thanks to Lord Huahuo's efforts, all those humiliating incidents involving the Shrek crowd have completely blown up online! I'm sure this has done no small damage to their public image. With this, the first step of the plan can be considered a success, right?"
Although Huahuo was someone who loved causing mischief and enjoyed finding amusement in things, she never neglected her serious duties—just like during the events in Pinoconi.
She had flawlessly completed Silver Wolf's commission, ensuring that Liuying could "die" safely, and along the way, managed to have quite a bit of fun for herself, earning her the affectionate nickname "Director Hua" from everyone.
Even though the current Huahuo wasn't the original, she had still received Aha's approval. So she couldn't possibly be that bad.
Pranking Shrek Academy was just a way for Huahuo to entertain herself while carrying out her real mission—undermining Shrek Academy's public image.
The "Sh*t-Rek Plan" was just one of many plans in Huahuo's arsenal. Even without this one, she had countless other tricks up her sleeve. They might not have the same impact or spectacle, but they could still do the job.
The reason this plan was used was because Yaolan had, unintentionally, discovered that the current structure of Shrek was very similar to the world he once lived in.
That world had a conflict between Eagle Sauce and Hairy Bear—where Eagle Sauce had used countless strategies to bring down Hairy Bear. One of those tactics was "propaganda warfare."
They used media and public opinion to smear Hairy Bear's image and slowly infiltrated its ideology—subtly changing its essence over time.
Of course, Shrek wasn't on par with Hairy Bear in terms of power, but in some of the darker aspects, the two did have similarities—especially after Shrek became corrupted.
Shrek Academy, with its millennia of accumulated capital, now acted tyrannically across the continent, disregarding everyone else. They pushed a doctrine of "If you don't dare to cause trouble, you're mediocre," making enemies everywhere—even elevating themselves above the Federation. Some of the Federation's major decisions even had to go through the Sea God's Pavilion first.
Such power should never have been placed in the hands of an academy. It only fueled their arrogance and led them further down a dark path… So eventually, Shrek was wiped out by a coalition of powerful forces.
Even worse, Shrek's terrible ideology had been passed down. So even if it was destroyed, there would always be people eager to rebuild it.
That's the real problem Huahuo—more precisely, Yaolan—had to solve.
Sure, he could have used overwhelming power to destroy Shrek directly, but that wouldn't be a permanent solution. There would always be someone trying to rebuild it.
After all, in the Douluo world, many people—especially the strong—aren't right in the head.
"Strong people tend to stir up trouble."
That phrase exists for a reason. After all, there's the red-haired freak who got himself killed just for fun, and the First Sequence ancestral dragon who turned himself into everything. Those two "powerhouses" proved the point perfectly.
Now imagine: when people on the continent hear the name "Shrek Academy," what comes to their minds?
Is it the Golden Iron Triangle, the founders? The Sea God Tang San? Huo Yuhao? Or the academy's two-thousand-year-long legacy of glory?
All of these are positive associations. No matter how rotten Shrek had become at its core, outsiders still saw it as an ideal to aspire to. That's why this corrupted institution could keep being revived.
What Huahuo wanted to do was erase all of that. She was reshaping Shrek Academy's public image.
She wanted people, upon hearing "Shrek Academy," to no longer think of "a thousand years of glory" or "number one on the continent," but instead associate it with filth—and arrogant, ill-mannered students.
Only with this method could she truly "eliminate Shrek"—sweeping it into the garbage bin of history, never to rise again.
Of course, in the process of damaging Shrek Academy's image, the Sun Moon Federation's reputation had also taken a big hit.
Because during a previous livestream, Huahuo had outright replaced the captain of the Federation's investigation team—and everyone on the continent had seen it.
Surprise! The real culprit was right beside you all along—you just never noticed!
Now the Sun Moon Federation was in total chaos. They had no way of knowing who else among them had been replaced. What if it was someone right next to them?
Even the senior members of the Federation Parliament were so terrified, they didn't dare leave their homes!
Some might ask: if your target was Shrek, why mess with the Federation too?
Well, because the Federation wasn't exactly clean, either.
Did anyone really think Huahuo blew up those buildings without a purpose? Of course not! Those buildings were constructed through "special means" by those high-ranking officials. Who knows how dirty they were inside?
That's why the Federation suppressed all the news—until more than a dozen buildings were blown up and they couldn't handle the fallout anymore. Only then did they beg Shrek Academy for help.
In the eyes of those people, Huahuo was a thorn in their side. If they didn't get rid of her, they probably couldn't even sleep at night.
"Hmph!"
"Rotten academy, rotten federation, rotten world… The Douluo planet really is cursed with misfortune. If we trace the root cause… maybe it all started when Tang San crossed over to this world?"
"Trying to steer a world like this back onto the right path… is no simple task!"
With her excellent hacking skills, Lord Huahuo had successfully turned the "Sh*t-Rek" operation into a viral sensation online—exposing Shrek's and the Federation's ugly sides for all to see. The Federation's tech experts were helpless, only praying that Huahuo would stop once she was satisfied.
"With your current level of soul tool tech, you have no way of stopping Lord Huahuo's invasion! You need more advanced technology… And who is the best researcher in the soul tool field?"
"Of course, it's Miss Heita, who studied at Shrek Academy! If you want to challenge Huahuo, she's your only option!"
"After all, we're both Huahuo~"
Switching off the device in her hands, Huahuo stood up from the steps and quietly enjoyed the breeze blowing in from the distance. That breeze even seemed to carry a faint scent of a young girl?
"But she's not a real girl—just a disguise. Compared to someone like Lord Huahuo, the number-one ultimate cosmic-level unbeatable pretty girl, she's still a billion miles behind!"
Huahuo turned her head and looked at the girl behind her, who had twin buns on her head.
"Am I right… Little Dingdang from the Holy Spirit Church?"
