"Yuhao, you really made a splash," Tang Ya said, looking at Huo Yuhao with a strange expression as she and Bei Bei approached.
Bei Bei's expression was also a little odd, but he didn't say anything, just looked at Xu Sanshi.
Both Bei Bei and Tang Ya were very famous in the outer courtyard. Added to that, Huo Yuhao, who had the nickname 'Beast Bro', was also here. This instantly attracted over a hundred onlookers.
But perhaps the fact that dozens of new students had wet their pants last night was too frightening. This time, the crowd of onlookers kept their distance, ready to run away the moment Huo Yuhao activated his soul rings.
"You two know this young man?" Xu Sanshi asked, his tone neutral.
"Yuhao put in a lot of effort to help me obtain my third soul ring. He's my friend," Tang Ya said, hands on her hips, her gaze sharp as she looked at the students around Xu Sanshi, "Alright, Xu Sanshi, you being here means these guys are looking for trouble, right? What do you want?"
Hearing Tang Ya's questions, the students in purple Shrek Academy uniforms all averted their gazes, unwilling to meet hers.
"You guys go first," Xu Sanshi whispered.
"Go ahead, boss," the others quickly fled the scene as a group.
Tang Ya and Bei Bei watched without saying anything.
"There are too many people here. Let's find somewhere else to talk," Xu Sanshi glanced around.
"Hmph, fine," Tang Ya snorted coldly. She had already guessed why Xu Sanshi had come.
"Yuhao, come with us," Bei Bei patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder.
"Okay," Huo Yuhao didn't refuse. He had nothing else to do at the moment anyway.
The four of them left the open space and headed towards a pavilion near the Sea God Lake. The students in the open space all watched them leave, not daring to follow.
Inside the deserted pavilion.
The four of them sat casually, as if they were old friends chatting.
After Bei Bei's questioning, Huo Yuhao finally understood why Xu Sanshi was looking for him.
It was on the day of registration. He, Tang Ya, and Jiang Nannan were returning to their dorms when Xu Sanshi's lackeys happened to see them. Plus, Huo Yuhao chatted with Jiang Nannan for a bit, and the lackeys thought someone was trying to steal their big sister-in-law. They quickly informed Xu Sanshi, and that's why he showed up.
In fact, Xu Sanshi had come earlier in the morning, but Huo Yuhao was at the teaching office, so they only met now.
"I thought this young brother and Nannan... you know," Xu Sanshi said to Huo Yuhao, scratching his head.
"No, I just don't understand. Nannan said she doesn't like you, so why bother?" Tang Ya couldn't understand.
"You don't understand." Xu Sanshi stood up and turned sideways to face the three of them, gazing up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, with a deeply thoughtful expression.
"I'll win Nannan over eventually."
The three of them were speechless.
Huo Yuhao covered his face in exasperation. If you, Xu Sanshi, hadn't taken the wrong path in the first place, Jiang Nannan wouldn't loathe you so much.
"Alright, alright, we don't get it. But remember, Yuhao is my friend. If you make a move on him, don't blame me for being unfriendly," Bei Bei said, annoyed.
"Don't worry. Now that I understand the situation, I definitely won't go around causing trouble."
Xu Sanshi nodded. Then, he seemed to remember something. "Right, I heard the academy had a big scandal. Two freshmen had a one-on-one last night, and one of them directly released a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring. Scared the pants off dozens of freshmen, you guys know about it?"
Huo Yuhao's expression became a bit strange upon hearing this.
Bei Bei and Tang Ya exchanged a glance and instinctively looked at Huo Yuhao.
"Here, this is the person you were talking about."
"Huh?" Xu Sanshi was stunned, following their gaze to see Huo Yuhao's odd expression. He was immediately startled. "That guy who's called 'Beast Bro' is you, little bro?"
"I don't…" Huo Yuhao started to protest, but then, after a moment of thought, he became serious. "Yes, that's me."
"You really have a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring?" Xu Sanshi walked forward, quite excited. "They all say you're a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in disguise."
"The Academy will explain later, and I'm not a Soul Beast in disguise." Huo Yuhao was helpless.
"Not a Soul Beast, huh." Xu Sanshi was very disappointed. "What a pity."
"You…" Huo Yuhao cursed inwardly.
"Let's not talk about that." Bei Bei saw that Huo Yuhao didn't seem to want to talk about it, so he immediately changed the subject. "Sanshi, this year, you absolutely must focus on cultivation. We'll be holding the Shrek Seven Devils selection next year."
Upon hearing this, Xu Sanshi and Tang Ya were both shocked. The former said, "Where did you get this news? Is it reliable?"
"My sister gave it to me. It's reliable," Bei Bei said in a low voice. "The next Continent-Wide Elite Soul Master Academy Tournament is in a little over a year. It's also when the next generation of Shrek Seven Devils will be selected. You and I are probably guaranteed a spot, but we still need to be careful to avoid being replaced."
"Understood," Xu Sanshi said, a rare hint of seriousness on his usually playful face.
"Yuhao, you should work hard for the next year or so. Try to get selected. Your abilities are very well-suited for the competition," Bei Bei said, turning to Huo Yuhao.
"Indeed. Once Brother Huo's soul rings are activated, we won't even need to fight. We can just scare the enemy into peeing their pants," Xu Sanshi agreed, nodding.
Bei Bei and Tang Ya's eyes flashed. The ability they were referring to wasn't the soul ring pressure.
Huo Yuhao said seriously, "I will work hard to cultivate and strive to be selected."
"Unfortunately, I can't," Tang Ya said with a laugh, a hint of self-deprecation in her eyes.
Bei Bei fell silent.
Even Xu Sanshi shut his mouth at this moment.
"Little Ya, that's not necessarily true. I believe you can do it," Huo Yuhao said with a smile, a hidden meaning in his eyes.
"Haha," Tang Ya laughed. "Then I'll take your good wishes. When I have kids in the future, I'll have them call you godfather."
Huo Yuhao: "..."
"Your Little Ya is still so out there," Xu Sanshi whispered to Bei Bei.
Bei Bei shook his head and stood up. "Alright, we should split up now. Little Ya and I need to go into the city to buy some things, so we won't stay any longer."
"Okay, I also have something to do," Xu Sanshi nodded and said to Huo Yuhao, "Brother Huo, I apologize for this time."
"It's nothing," Huo Yuhao replied casually. Although Xu Sanshi had intended to cause him trouble, he was stopped. Plus, with Bei Bei's involvement, it could be considered a truce. There was no need to dwell on it.
Soon, the three of them went their separate ways.
Huo Yuhao hurried back to his dorm. Just as he returned, the broadcast soul tools placed throughout the academy came to life.
The content was simple: Du Weilun solemnly explained what had happened last night, telling the students not to jump to conclusions.
The academy's explanation helped calm the agitated students.
This was a relief for Huo Yuhao. At least no one would try to kill him for his soul rings and soul bones at the sight of him.
However, he couldn't escape the nickname 'Beast Bro'.
He even gained a new one: 'Pee-Inducing Master'.
Damn it, he didn't know who came up with that.
Except for He Caitou and Xiao Xiao, the other important supporting characters have all appeared.
Some readers asked me how I'd handle Wang Dong. Actually, I haven't figured that out yet.
Then there's Zhou Yi's test. I'll write it well, but since so many people have written about her, I need to come up with something new.
