Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 8 Wang Dong
Hey! Make way! Make way!

An impatient voice rang out from the two rows of people, and a boy with pink and blue hair struggled forward through the gaps in the crowd.

Although he looked about the same size as Huo Yuhao, the strength in his hands was frighteningly exaggerated. He pushed through the crowd with both hands, creating a path and squeezing through the human wall.

"Tsk, what are they all doing! How come the entrance is so crowded?"

The boy stood in the middle of the road, straightening his clothes, his gaze searching around. Finally, his eyes met those of Huo Yuhao, who was leaning on a wooden cane, and he was startled: "Huh?"

"What are you..."

The boy looked at Huo Yuhao's appearance with some surprise, but then his attention was drawn to the several people lying on the ground at the entrance.

Although his perception was not enough to judge the other party's level, the color of their school uniforms clearly indicated their grade.

"A newly recruited second or third-year student? They should at least be at the second-ring level, right?"

The boy stared blankly at the mess, instinctively reaching out to cover his open mouth, but then suddenly realized something and hurriedly put his hands down into his pockets.

"..."

Huo Yuhao, who was observing him from the side, blinked. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the boy in front of him had just shown a bit of a spoiled attitude.

"Cough cough... Did you do this?"

The boy hurriedly composed himself, and gestured with a look of surprise toward the four corpses lying there.

Four powerful Soul Masters—if he were to fight against such a terrifying lineup, he would probably need to add one or two Soul Rings to the Clear Sky Hammer first.

"Yes."

Huo Yuhao nodded, then added after a moment's thought, "It was just luck. I wouldn't have won at all in a real fight."

If those students hadn't been so arrogant, rushing into battle without even activating their martial spirits, he might not have been able to handle them.

No matter how powerful mental detection is, there are limits to the speed of physical action. If you can't keep up with the drive of your mind, you're just waiting to get beaten up.

"Hey! That's pretty impressive~ Even with a sneak attack, a Soul Master with average Martial Soul strength wouldn't be able to take down four second-ring Soul Masters in one go!"

The boy looked on with admiration and wanted to reach out and pat Huo Yuhao on the shoulder, but suddenly smelled a fishy odor on him. He could only keep a straight face and instead nudged Huo Yuhao's arm with his elbow.

"But haven't you thought about how you'll clean up this mess? This is Shrek Academy! If they really want to mess with you, even if you have a Title Douluo backing you, they can't stop you!"

Having said that, the young man then moved a few steps closer with a mysterious expression and whispered, "Hiss~ You're so bold, you didn't come from some hidden sect, did you?"

Hidden sects...

Huo Yuhao was both amused and exasperated, wondering what this guy was thinking, that he would give him such a prestigious title.

"Where would I get such a powerful background? I just wanted to join Shrek Academy at first."

"Then you still dare to lay a hand on me!?"

The boy's eyes widened.

"He insulted my family first." A cold glint flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes.

"That's alright then... He deserved it."

The boy smirked. If someone dared to insult his two fathers, he'd fight them on the spot: "Tsk tsk... see if you have any guts~ From now on, you'll be my little brother! With me protecting you, I can easily handle even a small matter like getting into Shrek Academy!"

"Enrollment?"

Huo Yuhao looked at him with a strange expression as he boasted, "Who are you? Such a powerful background." "Hmph~ You don't need to know that, just know my name is Wang Dong!"

Wang Dong grinned: "How about it? Want to consider calling me 'Big Brother'? If you call me that nicely, maybe I can even reimburse your tuition for the next few years."

"This……"

Huo Yuhao was momentarily tempted, but still couldn't bring himself to say no: "Let's forget about it..."

Just then, a deafening shout boomed from the front door, interrupting their conversation.

"Who on earth dares to cause trouble in front of Shrek Academy?"

Several fourteen or fifteen-year-old senior students walked out of the gate. The one in the lead looked around the messy place with a gloomy expression, and his gaze finally settled on Huo Yuhao, following the fish corpses scattered all over the ground: "Kid, you're the one causing trouble here, aren't you?"

Although Huo Yuhao's age surprised him, Shrek Academy had no shortage of geniuses. He had even seen two three-ring Soul Masters enroll a few days ago, so having Huo Yuhao as an example was not unacceptable.

"Yes."

Huo Yuhao's eyes gleamed slightly as he calmly looked directly at him: "But first, I need to correct one thing. He provoked me first. I'm just here to see if there's any chance of getting into school."

"Forehead……"

The student was taken aback, his gaze meeting Bai Lang's for a few seconds before Bai Lang looked away somewhat guiltily.

You guys really are the ones who stir up trouble.

The student's face darkened, but he still spoke in a resounding voice: "Although there was a reason for this, they are still students of Shrek Academy, and this is where Shrek recruits students. Stirring up trouble here will inevitably damage the academy's reputation!"

"I won't bully you~ I won't use my soul skills, let's have a match! If you win, each of the four of them will compensate you with ten gold soul coins, and I will personally handle your enrollment process. If you lose, you'd better kneel down and apologize properly!"

The trainee pulled down his collar, took off his jacket, revealing his muscular physique: "So? Is it okay or not?"

Clenching the wooden stick in his hand, Huo Yuhao's expression turned solemn: "Okay."

"Huh...?"

Wang Dong, standing beside him, quickly intervened: "Are you serious? Judging by his age, he's definitely a four-ring Soul Master! Shrek Academy's senior students are the top of their class, selected through multiple rounds of screening. They're not so easy to deal with!"

Putting everything else aside, the bonuses from a four-thousand-year-old soul ring alone surpass those of all previous soul rings. Even without using soul skills, the physical attributes are significantly inferior.

"If he wants to fight, I'll fight with him."

Huo Yuhao's eyes sharpened: "Being afraid of trouble all the time is not a good choice."

Although it was dangerous, it also gave him a chance to enroll in school.

Shrek Academy boasts the title of the number one academy on the continent. Even though its teachers are all good-for-nothing scoundrels, the various rare resources it has accumulated are incomparable to those outside the academy.

Only here can he grow as much as possible.

"Are you ready?"

The student opposite him grinned, a tortoise-shell-shaped shield appearing on his arm, and four spirit rings rose: "Xuanming Possession! I am Xu Sanshi, please enlighten me!"

"Huo Yuhao."

Huo Yuhao took a few steps with his wooden cane and stood still. A bright white soul ring floated behind him, and his eyes shone.
