Huo Yuhao's expression grew uglier the more he thought about it.
He was gradually realizing just how ridiculously wrong his past self had been.
He could clearly have done far better, yet for various reasons… he didn't.
And that was why he had been completely surpassed by his counterparts from other parallel worlds.
"Facing these situations… I wonder what the me from a parallel world would do?"
The more he thought, the more curious he became.
He suddenly felt a strong urge—he wanted to see the version of himself from the parallel world again, to see how he would handle all these problems.
That guy definitely wouldn't make such a huge string of wrong choices like he himself had, right?
So he couldn't help but look toward the other screen.
Unfortunately, the parallel world's screen still hadn't lit up.
It remained pitch-black.
So Huo Yuhao could only turn back to the screen showing the original world's footage.
"Looks like I can only keep reflecting on myself…"
At this moment, the screen showing the original timeline continued playing.
[After leaving the Extreme North, Huo Yuhao immediately rushed back to Shrek Academy.]
[He revealed his second martial soul and successfully gained Shrek Academy's attention.]
[After a Sea God Pavilion meeting, Huo Yuhao was allowed to cultivate in both the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Tool Department.]
[Of course, when all this happened, Huo Yuhao was extremely delighted.]
[Because at this point, Huo Yuhao had already been completely brainwashed by Shrek Academy.]
[He regarded Shrek Academy as his home, feeling an incredibly strong sense of belonging to this place.]
[So for Huo Yuhao, he earnestly wanted recognition from his "guardians"—Shrek Academy.]
[And now, from his point of view, Shrek Academy had fully acknowledged him. The higher-ups of the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Tool Department were even fighting over him.]
[What could make him happier than that?]
[Therefore, in that moment, Huo Yuhao felt a strong sense of pride welling in his heart.]
[Look! Shrek Academy—before, you looked down on me. But now, I've transformed. You have to see me differently.]
[This feeling was no different from a child eager to earn a parent's attention.]
After watching this scene…
The soul masters present didn't even want to comment anymore.
None of them expected that the Huo Yuhao of the original timeline had such low aspirations.
Just getting Shrek Academy to notice him made him so proud?
This was way too pathetic.
And the fact that he had this mindset meant he had already been completely domesticated by Shrek.
From now on—alive, he was Shrek's man; dead, he'd be Shrek's ghost.
Qian Renxue sighed when she saw this scene. "This is truly pitiful."
She continued watching the screen.
And soon, the footage of the reward appraisal scene played.
[Both sides received Shrek Academy's red card reward.]
[The parallel world Huo Yuhao chose not to use it.]
[But the original timeline's Huo Yuhao used it immediately. He wasn't afraid of becoming tightly bound to Shrek Academy. If anything, he wished he could bind himself even more.]
[So when he used that item, he didn't feel the slightest psychological burden.]
[He even wished he had more.]
[Naturally, after using it, he became even more grateful to Shrek Academy, hoping to repay them well in the future.]
[This was a completely mutual obsession.]
Bibi Dong shook her head. "Boring. Utterly boring."
"When will the original timeline's footage end?"
"They're both Huo Yuhao, but the parallel world one—I'm extremely curious about his future."
"But this original timeline Huo Yuhao? I can't watch him anymore. He's disgusting."
Kong Deming said, "He's completely molded into Shrek Academy's shape now. Honestly, in this state, as long as Shrek gives him even a half-decent reason, he'd probably kill or burn anything they tell him to without a second thought."
"This man is already ruined."
On the screen:
[Naturally, Huo Yuhao wouldn't realize that he had already been fully brainwashed by Shrek Academy.]
[He continued living at Shrek, brimming with satisfaction every day.]
[Until one day, Shrek's higher-ups ordered him to participate in the Great Brawl Selection Tournament.]
[This tournament was meant to choose participants for the upcoming Soul Master Competition. Shrek Academy ordered Huo Yuhao to win.]
[Huo Yuhao agreed immediately.]
[He performed exceptionally in the selection tournament.]
[He ultimately won.]
[Shrek Academy then sent Xuan Lao to guide the training of Huo Yuhao and the others. Huo Yuhao was endlessly respectful and awestruck toward a powerhouse like Xuan Lao.]
[Finally, after one training session ended, Xuan Lao and Wang Yan led Huo Yuhao and the other students out of Shrek Academy.]
[Xuan Lao said sternly: "We're not far from the academy. There are things I need to say beforehand. You seven little ones in the reserve team—listen carefully. This will determine your future direction in the academy."]
[Everyone instantly became serious. Huo Yuhao didn't dare speak at all. He calmed himself and listened carefully.]
[Xuan Lao continued: "Our Shrek Academy has over ten thousand years of history. Normally, a powerful soul master can live at least two hundred years, maybe even longer. And every year, students pass the tests and enter the Inner Court."]
[However, the number of Inner Court disciples currently remaining in Shrek Academy is less than one hundred. Do you know why?"]
"Yeah, why?"
"With such a massive Shrek Academy, only a hundred Inner Court disciples left? That doesn't make sense!"
The soul masters in the dimensional rift looked confused and focused on the screen.
[Xu Sanshi: 'Because the older students all graduated, right?']
[Xuan Lao shook his head. "You're only half right. Some Inner Court disciples do graduate and leave. But I'm talking about another group—those who didn't graduate."]
The soul masters in the rift looked puzzled: "What does he mean? Students who didn't graduate? Wouldn't they still be studying in Shrek? Where else would they go if they haven't graduated?"
