Douluo Continent: The Evil-Eyed Dragon God, Many Women, Many Blessings

Chapter 23 A Warning to Zhou Daji

Two months later, under the influence of Huo Yuhao's groundbreaking business philosophy, "Xiaomenkan" and "Hudilao" hot pot became wildly popular in Shrek City, even topping the Shrek City Must-Eat List!
Seeing such a huge crowd every day, with queues stretching for miles, Da Vinci felt heartbroken!
He's already started taking over the surrounding shops to increase his capacity. In his eyes, those queuing up aren't people, they're clearly gleaming gold soul coins!

The reputation of the two hot pot restaurants has spread far and wide thanks to his family's transportation team. Next, they can start preparing to recruit franchisees and open chain stores in major cities!
In just two or three months, Huo Yuhao's income has exceeded 50,000 gold soul coins. He is a business prodigy!

At this moment, in Fan Yu's laboratory, Huo Yuhao, who had already entered a comfortable stage of life, was playing with a uniquely shaped soul tool.

This soul tool is entirely silver-white. The rear half resembles a double-barreled shotgun on Earth, while the front half looks like a giant lotus seedpod covered with countless black holes, giving off a sense of inexplicable dread.

Fan Yu finally emerged from seclusion today and immediately sought out Huo Yuhao, asking him to demonstrate the newly crafted shotgun.

Huo Yuhao skillfully filled the armor-piercing bullets, aimed them forward, and as the injected soul power was rapidly compressed, with a muffled "bang," countless bullets covered nearly 80% of the space in front of him like a shower of flowers!
"Ding ding ding ding!"

The sound of armor-piercing shells colliding with iron plates was like a continuous wave!
Fan Yu's pupils shrank sharply. He stepped closer and was shocked to see the dense, deep bullet holes on the iron plate!
With such a large attack range and the piercing effect of the armor-piercing bullets, this kind of wide-area destructive power would probably turn even a Soul King-level expert into a honeycomb under a sudden attack!

Huo Yuhao said with satisfaction, "Shotgun, a level four soul tool, can fire 100 soul-guided rays per second. Each ray is equivalent to a level three soul-guided ray in power, but its advantage lies in the large number and wide coverage. If you embed a level four milk bottle and a special magazine, you can charge it through the milk bottle and fire 100 armor-piercing rounds per second. As for the power, hehe!"

Fan Yu stared intently at Huo Yuhao and said, word by word, "Yuhao, you're a fucking genius when it comes to soul tools! Our Shrek Academy might really produce a level nine soul master in the not-too-distant future!"

"Well, from now on, for every soul tool you invent that you sell, you'll get 50% of the net profit. Dean Qian and Dean Xian have already agreed to this. Congratulations, little guy, you won't be short of money anymore, haha!" Fan Yu suddenly remembered something, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

Upon hearing Fan Yu's words, Huo Yuhao took a deep breath. Ah, this wasn't air; it was the rich, pungent scent of money!
It's important to know that the profit margin for level four and above soul tools is much higher than that for low-level soul tools!
As she spoke, Fan Yu couldn't wait to show Huo Yuhao's new work to Qian Duoduo. This was all money! Every minute of delay would be disrespectful to the gold soul coins!
After Fan Yu left, Huo Yuhao discussed some aspects of soul tools with He Caitou.

"Huh? Fan Yu isn't here?"

Huo Yuhao turned around and saw a serious-looking old woman walk in; it was Zhou Daji, who loved to play with makeup.

A thought struck him, and he stepped forward to greet him: "Teacher, he went to see Dean Qian. He should be back soon. Teacher Zhou, please wait here for a moment."

Zhou Yi frowned slightly, nodded, and sat down on the sofa next to her.

Huo Yuhao poured her a glass of water and suddenly said, "Teacher Zhou, you look so frowning. Did one of the students in your class upset you again?"

Zhou Daji snorted and said, "Those little brats have no awareness of being a Soul Master at all. I fired two more of them today."

Huo Yuhao was speechless. This old woman was always firing people. If it weren't for the fact that Teacher Fan Yu had been good to me, I wouldn't even bother with her!

"Teacher Zhou, what do you think of my Soul Master talent?"

Zhou Daji was somewhat surprised. She knew how much Fan Yu valued this closed-door disciple, and Huo Yuhao's cultivation speed was also obvious to all. However, Huo Yuhao rarely communicated with her and they were not very familiar with each other. Why did he suddenly bring this up today? "At your age, with a level 3 Soul Master and a level 35 Soul Venerable, your talent is naturally beyond question."

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly: "Teacher Zhou, to be honest, even with my talent, I wouldn't want to go to your class."

"Hmm? Why? Do you think I'm bad at teaching?" When talking about what she was most proud of, Zhou Daji's eyebrows immediately furrowed.

"I heard that 50% of the students you teach get into the inner academy?"

“Excellent!” Zhou Daji said proudly.

"How many people are in this so-called 50%?"

Zhou Daji was taken aback: "Two? What's wrong?"

Huo Yuhao shrugged and said, "Oh, so you mean that if we calculate based on 100 students entering in the first year, your actual college admission rate is only 2%?"

Zhou Daji's face darkened, and she said, "What do you know? I want elites! As for those useless people who were eliminated, they are not qualified to continue learning at Shrek Academy!"

"Really? So, the Star Luo Empire's Emperor, Star Crown Douluo Xu Jiawei, is also a piece of trash?"

Huo Yuhao learned this news by chance from Fan Yu. If Zhou Daji hadn't stayed in Shrek City, Xu Jiawei would probably have had to have her legs broken to vent his anger!

Back then, Xu Jiawei was only a little late because he needed to poop, and he was forcibly fired by that old hag Zhou Daji! He was so angry! And the food in the cafeteria was so dirty that it gave him an upset stomach, and that was his fault too?!

Zhou Daji was speechless for a moment.

Seeing her at a loss for words, Huo Yuhao sneered inwardly: What a piece of trash! If it weren't for Fan Yu protecting her, and if it weren't for your million-year soul skill, Pillow Words, she would have been killed long ago!
You're always calling this person trash, that person trash, and you're quick to fire people. Your own level is just a mere Soul Emperor, where do you get so much confidence? Even ordinary female immortals aren't as brain-dead as you. All your intelligence is in those few bulging lumps of flesh!

If you hadn't met a pure-hearted, straight-laced old man like Fan Yu, who could you possibly manipulate?
“Teacher Zhou, everyone has a youth. Can you honestly say you were an obedient, docile girl when you were young? There’s a saying at Shrek Academy: ‘Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre.’ The academy trains monsters, not obedient dogs whose entire lives are planned out by others and who dare not disobey! Over the years, have all the students you’ve expelled achieved less than those who followed you? And what about the teacher? How many times has he cleaned up your messes and taken countless scoldings?”

"A person who is stubborn and abuses their power can never become a good teacher!"

"You!" Zhou Daji's face flushed with anger. She never expected that Fan Yu's disciple would dare to speak to her like that!

Huo Yuhao's face was full of sneers. The reason why you, Zhou Daji, can still stay in Shrek Academy today is not because you are really that strong, but because Fan Yu is the most likely soul master in Shrek Academy to advance to the ninth level!
With his talent, the backing of so many teachers, and Fan Yu treating him like his own son, why should he tolerate his bad habits when he has stronger connections and greater talent? If it weren't for Fan Yu's sake, he wouldn't even bother to discipline this fool who only knows how to sit on a lotus position.

Having said all he wanted to say, Huo Yuhao turned and left. If she continued to court disaster, then she only had herself to blame!
