The Unrivaled Tang Sect

By the time the sweat-drenched Huo Yuhao had finished his tenth lap, theperson in first place—Wang Dong—had already lapped him three times. The otherstudents had already lapped him at least one time. Many people had even castdisdainful gazes at him. After all, they all knew that Huo Yuhao definitely hadthe weakest cultivation amongst them.

However, the running speed of the students in front had already started toslow down. As time passed, the effects of the chainmail started to become moreobvious. Even Wang Dong had a face full of sweat.

The few male students who’d followed Wang Dong from the start had started tofall behind. Some had even been overtaken by the students behind them.

Drops of sweat seeped into the running track. After around an hour had passed,a female student who had a weaker body collapsed to the ground. She struggledto get up, but she couldn’t do anything.

Wang Dong happened to be running next to her when this happened. He helped herup and sent her an inquiring gaze. However, that female student shook her headand sat down on the plaza, unwilling to get back up. She didn’t even have theenergy to speak.

With the first, the second was bound to happen. Perhaps it was because theyhad the cushion of Huo Yuhao, who was dead last. Although the studentspersevered, in the end, their willpower didn’t seem to be too strong.

The burden of carrying the heavy chainmail whilst running was truly enormous.This was especially true since everyone had started running at full speed,which had quickly depleted their soulforce. On the other hand, withstanding theweight of the chainmail with their bodies alone was truly something strenuousat their age.

When two hours had passed, half of the students had collapsed to the ground.From the beginning to the end, Zhou Yi had stood there with an expressionlessface. She hadn’t urged them to continue either.

Huo Yuhao was also reaching his limit. Although he’d decided to run with aconstant speed, which meant that the drain on his physical strength was thelowest, his soulforce was still the weakest amongst the people present, and hisphysical strength wasn’t that much different either. Being able to persevereuntil now was already quite difficult for him. If you looked at it from theviewpoint of the number of laps that he’d completed, he was no longer the last,due to the fact that he’d managed to persevere for a longer time than some.

When everything in front of him started to turn black, he suddenly felt thatthere seemed to be a lump of fire within his stomach that was burning. He wasextremely parched, and the stickiness he felt from the sweat all over his bodywas hard to bear. As the heavy chainmail ground against his skin through hisschool uniform, bursts of scorching pain passed unceasingly through his body.

Not good, I can’t hold on any longer. A voice continuously echoed out in HuoYuhao’s mind. He activated his soulforce and poured it into his Spirit Eyeswith much difficulty.

A refreshing feeling spread out from his Spirit Eyes, causing him to sober upa little.

This won’t do, I can’t collapse like this. I will definitely persevere. As helooked at the many students running in front of him, he thought about theincrease in cultivation speed that he’d experienced that afternoon after theextremely large drain to his soulforce. Huo Yuhao suddenly bit his tongue,rousing himself to continue running.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a comfortable, warm feeling spread out fromhis lower abdomen. Although his soulforce had already almost been exhausted,the warm feeling flowed slowly through his limbs and bones, causing his achingmuscles to feel slightly alleviated.

This is…

The power of the Mysterious Heaven Technique?

Huo Yuhao quickly recognised the source of the warm current. After cultivatingthe Mysterious Heaven Technique, it would gather in his lower abdomen at thevery end. Although the time he’d spent cultivating the Mysterious HeavenTechnique so far was still short, he still had a foundation of soulforce, afterall. After converting his previous soulforce into the Mysterious HeavenTechnique’s, he could be considered to have completed the first layer of theMysterious Heaven Technique.

Both his eldest senior brother and the Skydream Iceworm had said that theMysterious Heaven Technique was very suitable for him, since it could nourishhis passageways. Was it finally displaying its effects?

As he pondered the matter, Huo Yuhao’s consciousness very naturally followedthe passageways of the Mysterious Heaven Technique, and felt it out for amoment. He didn’t sense any obstructions, and the warm feeling within his lowerabdomen wandered around his passageways, following his consciousness.

Huo Yuhao saw that it was a weak trace of the Mysterious Heaven Technique’ssoulforce. Only, it would slowly spread into his passageways as it travelled,which was also the reason behind the warm feeling.

The thing that astonished him even more was that his passageways were actuallyabsorbing these strands of soulforce at an extremely rapid pace. This was alsothe source of the comfortable feeling he’d felt earlier, which had in turnrelieved his weariness.

Huo Yuhao’s natural physique wasn’t that good, but he was still quite smart.The fact that the Mysterious Heaven Technique could be absorbed by him when hisbody reached its limit signified that he could also circulate it while moving,not just when he was meditating. The circulation of the Mysterious HeavenTechnique under these circumstances was slightly different than when he wasnormally cultivating. The speed at which his soulforce increased in strengthwasn’t high, but its integration with his body was much more intimate.

With this discovery, Huo Yuhao hurriedly concentrated whilst simultaneouslyslowing his steps. He quietly started to circulate the Mysterious HeavenTechnique.

The Tang Sect’s Mysterious Heaven Technique had been brought over from anotherworld by the first generation Tang sect master, Tang San. From a certainstandpoint, it wasn’t a technique that belonged to the Douluo Continent, butwas definitely a top notch technique. It had extremely large benefits towardsthe nourishment of one’s body.

Due to an accident, Huo Yuhao had actually created a method of circulating theMysterious Heaven Technique without entering a state of meditation. When it wascirculated like this, the main effect of the Mysterious Heaven Technique wouldbe to nourish one’s body by using soulforce to nourish the passageways.

Due to the progressive recovery that resulted from the circulation process ofthe Mysterious Heaven Technique, a miraculous cyclical state had formed withinhis body. This could be considered cultivation while moving.

Huo Yuhao didn’t know it, but even the first generation sect master of theTang Sect, Tang San, hadn’t managed to achieve this. The reason behind this wassimply because he’d had richly endowed advantages. Huo Yuhao’s cultivation, onthe other hand, was still weak, which was the reason why his body was able toreach such a state, where it was at its limit. Furthermore, both his spiritualenergy being very strong, combined with his possession of a spiritual-typemartial soul, made it so that he could sense and manipulate the miraculousenergy.

The Tang Sect had birthed many experts, but none of them had possessed theconditions that the current Huo Yuhao had. After they became strong, theywouldn’t easily reach their limits, and they wouldn’t carefully sense the warmfeeling that appeared in their dantians. It could be said that an evolution ofthe Mysterious Heaven Technique had appeared in Huo Yuhao’s body.

With the harmonization of this warm feeling, Huo Yuhao’s body, which hadoriginally reached its limit, was relieved of its exhaustion by a certainamount. Not only did this strengthen his willpower, it also made him pour moreof his spiritual energy into guiding this warm feeling.

The warm feeling circulated around his body, following the circulation path ofthe Mysterious Heaven Technique. When it completed an entire cycle, the strandwould be almost fully drained. However, it was also at the moment that thecycle was completed that the warm feeling would be slightly strengthened onceagain, and would continue to move forward.

Huo Yuhao’s body was getting more and more exhausted, but he was getting moreand more excited. The Mysterious Heaven Technique’s nourishment of hispassageways under his current state was exactly what he needed the most rightnow! His thin passageways, which he’d previously needed extreme care to handle,became more elastic under the nourishment of the warm feeling, and even widenedslightly. The unprecedented lack of obstruction within the areas that the warmfeeling passed through told Huo Yuhao that he was doing the right thing.

The number of students who’d collapsed within Shrek Plaza was graduallyincreasing. Even the students who’d been running at the very front werestarting to gradually be unable to persevere. The sounds of chainmail smashinginto the ground occasionally echoed out from time to time.

When Wang Dong lapped Huo Yuhao once again, every step he took was taken withgreat difficulty. However, to his astonishment, he saw that Huo Yuhao’s eyeswere lightly shut; they were only open enough to expose a small crack thatfaintly exuded a golden light. His steps were taken very slowly compared toWang Dong’s, but he was still advancing steadily. Many of the students who hadhigher cultivation levels than him had already collapsed, but he was stillbitterly persevering. He even left a trail of sweat with every step he took.

“If you can’t do it, don’t force yourself.” Wang Dong spoke in a low voicebefore continuing onwards. The number of laps that he’d run so far exceededeveryone else by a large margin. However, the his body was reaching its limit.

Another hour passed, with the time left until the bell rang getting closer andcloser. There were only nine students left that were still running around ShrekPlaza. However, the person who’d been considered the ‘bottom cushion’ from thestart, Huo Yuhao, was one of them.

Zhou Yi had been paying attention to Huo Yuhao the entire time. She’d alreadybeen astonished when only two hours had passed. Based on Huo Yuhao’s physicalstrength and soulforce, he should’ve reached his limit at two hours, no matterwhat the circumstances. However, he’d still managed to persevere. Althoughrunning at a constant speed did give some small benefits, his cultivation andphysical condition were both right there!

Could a person’s willpower really be strong to this extent? Furthermore, hewas still so young.

“Putong, putong…” Two more students collapsed, and when they did, they createda domino effect. A few students collapsed in succession following the duo, oneof them just happening to bump into Wang Dong, who was next to him.

Wang Dong stumbled, his already aching legs unable to persist any longer. Ashe fell down, his thoughts about persevering also collapsed. However, he’d runthe greatest number of laps within the class; there was no one left who couldexceed the number of laps that he’d run.

There were still three people that were still running, one of which was HuoYuhao.

After five minutes, the other two students also collapsed. The last personstill running was actually Huo Yuhao, the weakest person of Class 1. Althoughhis steps were weak, and his running speed wasn’t that quick, he’d stillmanaged to persevere, even when everyone else had collapsed. This causedastonishment to appear on many students faces when they looked at him.

It was true that Huo Yuhao had already reached his limit, and it was also truethat the warm feeling caused by the Mysterious Heaven Technique could nourishhis body and relieve his weariness to a certain extent. However, in the end, itdidn’t make him stronger!

He’d reached his limit again and again, but had clenched his teeth and enduredit every single time. Huo Yuhao understood that he was the weakest amongst thestudents of 1, so he had to commit 200%, or even 300% of their hard work if hewanted to remain at Shrek Academy. And at this moment, tempering his body byreaching his limits could both help widen his passageways, and increase hissoulforce. No matter what, he did his best to persist for every single moment.

Persevere…persevere! Huo Yuhao inwardly shouted to himself nonstop. At thatmoment, he didn’t even any soulforce left that he could pour into his SpiritEyes to stimulate himself and sober up his mind.

Gradually, he himself began to sound out the ‘chant’ that he was using tosupport himself.

“Mother, mother….” This was all for the sake of his mother’s last wishes; forthe sake of being able to retrieve his mother’s remains from that place oneday… for the sake of washing away his mother’s humiliation and avenging her… nomatter what, he had to persevere.

“Thud, thud…” Huo Yuhao’s footsteps were extremely heavy. His legs and bodywere trembling uncontrollably. However, he didn’t fall down. Under suchdifficult conditions, he still repeated the machine-like motions of raising hisleg, putting it down, raising it back up, and putting it back down once again.

The disdainful look that the students, who’d now fallen, had been looking athim with gradually disappeared. The power that a role model provided wasmighty. They started to pull themselves back up, one by one, before blanklystaring at Huo Yuhao’s figure as he persevered.

After being stunned for a brief moment, Wang Dong was the first to continuerunning after Huo Yuhao. However, he didn’t overtake him this time around.

With Wang Dong leading, a second, and then a third person gradually began tostart following him. Gradually, all of the students from Class 1 clenched theirteeth and raised their legs—which were already stiff to the point that theyfelt dead—to continue running.

Zhou Yi was moved. Of all the time she’d been teaching, it was extremely rarethat she’d be moved by the performances of her students. However this time,she’d truly been moved. This was because of Huo Yuhao, and in turn was alsobecause of the ninety students who’d climbed back up to follow him. This was nolonger a simple exercise that could temper their bodies—this was a tempering oftheir minds! Zhou Yi could visibly see their determination within theirexhausted facial expressions.

The results of this class were far, far greater than what she’d imagined.

“Ding ring ring—”

The bell that signalled the end of the class finally rang.

Hua la, hua la. It was truly the collapse of a row of dominoes this time. Theear-piercing bell instantly caused a large number of people to collapse.

The sounds of collision caused by their chainmail and the ground caused aseries of sounds to echo out, and knocked a cloud of dust into the air.

Huo Yuhao, who’d been at the very front, finally collapsed. The bell causedhim to finally let go of all of the stubborness and perseverance within hisheart. However, he didn’t fall directly to the ground. As he fell, Wang Dong,who was right behind him, caught him by his chainmail. As soon as he did, thetwo of them rolled to the ground together. The two simultaneously gasped forair together.

As he looked towards the sky, Huo Yuhao’s vision turned dark for a period oftime. However, the passageways within his body had become comfortably warm, andfelt indescribably comfortable. The soulforce within his body had beenexhausted, and his physical strength had already been overdrawn way beforethat. And yet, his passageways still made him feel very comfortable. He had thepremonition that, in all aspects, his cultivation would have a largeimprovement after this.

Wang Dong lay beside Huo Yuhao. Both his cultivation and the condition of hisbody were much stronger than Huo Yuhao’s, so even though he was extremelyexhausted, he wasn’t like Huo Yuhao, who couldn’t budge at all.

“I really don’t know what power made it so that you could endure all the wayuntil now. You’re a Soul Master with only a ten year soul ring, but you wereable to persevere longer than a Soul Grandmaster like me. You’re truly a freak.”

Huo Yuhao chuckled twice. He didn’t even have the energy to speak anymore.

Zhou Yi slowly took a deep breath, then beckoned towards the distance. Awhite-clothed male arrived as if he was floating on air. He arrived by ZhouYi’s side with what seemed to be a few light steps. After nodding towards her,he turned towards the students.

His dazzling soul rings rose up from his feet one by one. There were twoyellow ones, two purple ones, and three black ones. He actually had seven soulrings.

Soul Sage! This was actually a Soul Sage-ranked expert, who was above theseventieth rank! He was already approaching the peak of soul masters!Furthermore, he only looked to be around thirty years old. Only, thevicissitudes visible within his eyes didn’t match his youthful outer appearance.

He raised his hands, and a gentle shade of green—a leaf—suddenly began to growfrom his palms. His seventh soul ring flashed brightly as it revolved aroundhim, but the students were only able to see his body flash once before itunexpectedly disappeared. The green leaf grew wildly, and in the blink of aneye, the leaf unexpectedly turned into an enormous tree that was extremely tall.

A cool breeze seemed to blow past them. Then, dark green leaves began to flyout from the enormous canopy of the enormous tree. Exactly ninety-one leaveslanded lightly on the bodies of the students from Class 1; not one more, andnot one less.

Every single present felt an incomparably refreshing feeling. The refreshingfeeling instantly spread throughout their bodies, and no matter whether it wastheir aching muscles or the wounds that had been incurred by the chainmailgrating against their skin, they were all recovering at an astonishing speed.Furthermore, their physical strength was gradually recovering a drop at a time.Only their soulforce was completely empty; it wasn’t left completely unaffectedby the dark green leaf.

Wang Dong had the highest cultivation amongst everyone present, and was alsothe first person to recover. He flipped over and sat up before looking at theextremely tall tree with a burning gaze. He took a deep breath of the cool air.“This… this is one of the pinnacle existences amongst plant-type martial souls:The Tree of Life! It’s a seventieth ranked martial soul with a Soul Avatar!Teacher Zhou actually found a plant-type soul master above the seventieth rankto heal us and help us recover.”

The dark green light shrouded the area. After releasing ninety-one treeleaves, the enormous tree rapidly shrunk and transformed back into thewhite-clothed male in the blink of an eye. Afterwards, he nodded at Zhou Yi,who bowed respectfully towards him. That male left in the same way he’darrived—like a gust of wind. From the start to end, he hadn’t said a word toZhou Yi at all.

The students crawled up one after another. Although they were still exhausted,they felt an indescribable pleasure from their bodies breaking through theirlimits.

Huo Yuhao had also recovered from his half-dazed state. After receivingnourishment from that godly soul skill, a refreshing feeling washed over hismuscles and caused their exhaustion to disappear without a trace. Furthermore,the passageways within his body were still immersed in the comfortably warmfeeling that the Mysterious Heaven Technique had created. It was almost as ifhe was feeling the comfortableness provided by both cold and hot at the sametime. He’d never felt such a comfortable feeling in his life before.

He supported himself as he crawled back up. His entire body was covered insweat, but his Spirit Eyes became increasingly bright. He subconsciouslyactivated his soulforce and circulated it according to the Mysterious HeavenTechnique. He found that he could actually still do it, and that the intangiblechanges within his body had nourished his passageways. Furthermore, since itwasn’t being consumed anymore, there was still that little bit of theMysterious Heaven Technique’s internal energy left over that was able to returnback to his dantian and complete a full cycle before it circulated again.

Zhou Yi gazed at all the students who were slowly crawling up andindifferently said, “I have to say, you all have given me an answer thatastonished me quite a bit. Today, nobody will be eliminated.”

Once she said this, the students couldn’t help but immediately let out acheer, especially the few who’d run the least number of laps, who felt as if aheavy burden had been lifted from their minds.

Zhou Yi then proceeded to say “You all need to thank Huo Yuhao. Originally, Iwas prepared to give you all a punishment. The task that I gave you all was foryou to run until the bell rang, and then we’d count the number of laps each ofyou ran. However, other than Huo Yuhao, none of you managed to run from thestart to the end. However, since you were able to actually develop a sense ofcompetition because of him, you don’t have to have a punishment. Wang Dong,step forward.”

“Teacher.” Wang Dong took a step forward.

Zhou Yi indifferently said, “As the class monitor of Class 1, you only caredabout yourself—you didn’t set a good example for the others. From now on,you’re stripped of your position of class monitor, which will be taken over byHuo Yuhao. Until the next physical class, Huo Yuhao will be the class monitorof Class 1. If anyone wants to challenge him, you’re in charge of acceptingthem.”

When he heard what she said, Wang Dong was slightly stunned.

Zhou Yi continued in a cold voice, “What? Do you have any problems with this?”

Only then did Wang Dong sober up. He shook his head and said, “I have none.Teacher Zhou, I’m willing to concede.”

Zhou Yi nodded and said, “Disperse. Take your set of chainmail with you.Tomorrow, another teacher will be having a class on theory with you all. Isuggest that you meditate well as you digest the improvements and thesignificance of today’s physical class. My next class will be in the afternoon,the day after next. At that time, I hope that I won’t see any trash.”

“Yes.” The students all simultaneously agreed. However, they didn’t randomlydisperse afterwards. Instead, they collectively charged towards Huo Yuhao andsuddenly threw him into the sky.

To these youths, excitement and happiness was something extremelystraightforward. Because of Huo Yuhao, nobody was eliminated, and they had evenbeen able to avoid their punishment. Thus, at least during this moment, HuoYuhao was their hero.

Furthermore, after the difficult and painful class, Teacher Zhou had foundthat miraculous plant-type Soul Sage to heal all of them and help them recover,which made them understand the strength of a high-ranked soul master. After thepain in their bodies had disappeared, their ill will towards Teacher Zhou had,imperceptibly, decreased by a large amount.

The students continued to be rowdy for another ten minutes or so, all the wayuntil the students from other classes had finished their classes too. Only thendid they stop and start heading back to their individual dorms to cleanthemselves up. Their current appearances were truly too haggard.

The ninety-one students didn’t know this, but it was precisely because of thislesson that a collective pride had begun to gradually appear within theninety-one of them. It had only been a single day since the class had beenestablished, and most of them still didn’t know each other’s names, but acollective sense of pride had already appeared. This was undoubtedly because ofTeacher Zhou’s teaching methods. Combined with a certain amount of luck thatHuo Yuhao’s performance at the end had brought, First-year Class 1 had managedto get a step ahead of the other classes.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong directly returned to their dorm whilst wearing theirchainmail. They had to use the bathrooms at the two ends of the corridors, soWang Dong let Huo Yuhao clean up first, while he instead took a basin of waterand cleaned himself up in the dorm room.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao’s mind was still immersed in a special state ofunderstanding towards the Mysterious Heaven Technique. He didn’t think much ofit, and went to shower instead. However, the circulation of the MysteriousHeaven Technique within his body hadn’t stopped since he’d started circulatingit in the new manner that he discovered. He discovered that the warm streamthat had been unceasingly generated had already started to become weaker andweaker.

Why? Is it because my physical strength has recovered? Huo Yuhao was greatlypuzzled. After he finished cleaning himself up, he faintly guessed the reasonas to why it had happened. That warm feeling seemed to only appear when bothhis soulforce and his body were nearly exhausted. And right now, since his bodyhad already recovered by a large amount, and his soulforce was also slowlyrecovering, that warm flow wouldn’t be produced anymore.

If I’d known earlier, it would’ve been better for me to not recover. Huo Yuhaowas somewhat helpless as he thought to himself. If that was the case, perhapshis passageways might’ve been able to obtain even more benefits.

However, Teacher left the chainmail for us. I can try it out by myself later.Once he thought of this, he couldn’t help but feel excited.

“Huo Yuhao.” At this moment, a shout that woke him up from his excitementechoed out.

Huo Yuhao inwardly chastised himself. How could he have forgotten about her?He hurriedly shouted from the corridor, “Teacher Xiao Ya, I’ll be right out.”Then, he rapidly ran back to his dorm room, planning to put on his other schooluniform before going out.

Because he was in a rush, he didn’t bother knocking on the door when he gotthere. He pushed the door open and entered, but when he entered, he wasflabbergasted…

What he saw was a white… rear view.

As Huo Yuhao’s gaze traced his round, narrow shoulders, the contours of a softarc appeared by his waist. He had a pair of straight and thin legs which weremore delicate than an ordinary person’s. Due to his age, none of his featureswere exaggerated. However, his fair skin, which still had droplets of waterdripping from it, appeared crystal clear. The assault to Huo Yuhao’s vision wassimply too strong.

“AHH—” A slightly scream echoed out. Following that, the patch of white infront of Huo Yuhao’s eyes became a patch of dazzling blue.

A pair of enormous wings suddenly spread out, and what immediately followedthat was a V-shape made of golden haloes that suddenly brightened. The sapphireblue wings subsequently turned a blueish-violet. A strong undulation ofsoulforce immediately rushed out, as if it wanted to devour him.

Fortunately, the wave-like soulforce still stopped in the end.

“What are you doing? Why didn’t you knock?” Wang Dong’s anger-filled voiceechoed out. The blue light vanished, and when Huo Yuhao looked again, he’dalready put on a set of school clothes. He’d suddenly charged over, but hadn’tmade a move against Huo Yuhao in the end. This was because Huo Yuhao, who hadjust cleaned himself up, was only wearing his boxers now; his entire body wasclean. However, when one compared the colour of his skin to Wang Dong’s, itwasn’t just a difference of colour. Huo Yuhao’s skin flickered with a healthycopper colour, but it was far inferior to Wang Dong’s enchanting white skin…

“I… someone outside called for me. I was in a hurry, sorry!” Huo Yuhao didn’tknow why, but his heartbeat had turned especially quick. He hurriedly ran tohis bed and grabbed his clean school uniform before turning around and quicklyrunning outside.

Wang Dong stood there blankly, not stopping Huo Yuhao. Only when Huo Yuhao hadshut the door and run off did he come back to his senses. Flashes of both redand white appeared on his face, but he didn’t know what to do about it.

After hurriedly running out of the dorm room, Huo Yuhao’s mind calmed down abit. However, that white patch still lingered in his mind. Especially thosebuttocks, which already stuck out a bit…

What am I thinking about! Huo Yuhao felt some self-disdain towards himself. Hehurriedly shifted his thoughts towards the Mysterious Heaven Technique,

His ear suddenly hurt, and he let out a pained cry.

Tang Ya’s playful voice sounded out, “You still know how to cry out? I’ve beenwaiting here for a long time.”

Huo Yuhao miserably said, “Teacher Xiao Ya, please let go. We just had aphysical class that made me sweat a lot, so wouldn’t I first return to my dormto clean up before I came?”

Only then did Tang Ya let go of him. As she looked at Huo Yuhao’s slightlypale face, her eyebrows furrowed. She said, “Is that perverted grandma Zhou Yimaking things hard for you guys? You have to be a bit more careful, as she’salways been widely known as an iron mask. You’ll lose a layer of skin, if notdie, if you offend her. How is it? Is your body still fine? If you’re not fine,then so be it. We can talk tomorrow.”

Huo Yuhao hurriedly shook his head and said, “Teacher Xiao Ya, I’m fine. Let’sgo.” Today’s physical training had brought him take one step closer torealising that he needed nutrients, and a large amount of nutrients at that.That warm feeling created by the Mysterious Heaven Technique had disappeared,but it caused an intense surge of hunger to rise up from his body. If he had nomoney, what could he buy to eat?

Tang Ya giggled and said, “Then you can roast twenty fish. I’ve prepared themfor you. It won’t take too much of your time, but it’ll definitely take lessthan you working for the academy.”

“Teacher Xiao Ya, then where are we going to sell them?” Huo Yuhao asked.

Clearly. Tang Ya had already thought about it thoroughly. “At the academy’sentrance! Our Shrek Academy’s entrance is the eastern gate of Shrek City, andthere has always been many peddlers outside. Furthermore, there’s no lack ofacademy students who do business there. With your skill in roasting fish, wewon’t need to be afraid of not selling any if we go there. Even if we’re unableto sell them, we can just eat them for ourselves.”

Huo Yuhao followed Tang Ya all the way until they reached the gate. When theystepped outside, Huo Yuhao was astonished. As of now, there were no longer anystudents here to enroll. Instead, both sides of the eastern gate’s main roadwere swarming with peddlers. The peddlers were selling everything that couldpossibly be imagined, and their goods looked like glittering jewels. Out of thegoods that were on display, the large variety of food was the greatest.Moreover, the sounds of hawkers doing their job never stopped. Clearly, thereason that they’d gathered here was for the sake of doing business with thestudents of Shrek Academy.

Tang Ya was clearly slightly impatient. In an area that wasn’t too far fromthe city gates, she took out the stuff that she’d prepared. She even took up abit of the main road.

She was clearly completely prepared. She had a metal grill that had beenspecially made by a smith, metal stands, various seasonings, as well asmackerels that had already been cleaned. She’d even brought a small table forthe sake of setting all of her stuff down.

As Huo Yuhao helped her set up the grill, he couldn’t help but find it funny.Teacher Xiao Ya’s resistance towards delicious food was really low!

Tang Ya also took out the charcoal and put it on the floor before saying,“Okay, my job is done. Everything else is up to you. I’m gonna go buy someother stuff to eat, just remember that two of these fish are mine. Just sellthem for five copper coins. In the future, if you want to buy ingredients, justfind your canteen’s Aunty Lin.”

After saying this, she excitedly ran off.

Huo Yuhao checked the amount ingredients that he had before he prepared themackerels. The number of ingredients that he had was truly large, and Tang Yawas quite considerate. She’d even brought him some purple basil. Huo Yuhao toreup the purple basil, then stirred it together with some of the otheringredients. After the ingredients were ready, he stuffed them into the bellyof the mackerels, then used a bamboo stick to skewer them one-by-one.

Today’s physical class had made him understand many things, so he was anxiousto go back and cultivate. Naturally, he didn’t want to waste too much time here.

Simply lighting a fire was as easy as a walk in the park for him, so after amoment’s work, the oven already had a few bright red pieces of burning coalinside of it. The oven was quite big, and was able to hold four fish at once.Thus, he roasted the fish directly.

It had to be said that Huo Yuhao’s level of skill with roasting fish was trulyunrivalled. Not long after he’d started, a strong fragrance had alreadydiffused outwards from his makeshift stall. This was better than any other formof advertisement. Not even mentioning the students from the academy, even thesurrounding peddlers couldn’t help but cast a few curious gazes at him.

A male student who was wearing a yellow school uniform walked over and asked,“Little brother, how much are you selling these roasted fish for?”

Huo Yuhao answered with a very polite tone, “Senior, the roasted fishes arefive copper coins each.”

That student was very straightforward. “It smells quite good. Let me try one.”While he spoke, he handed five copper soul coins to Huo Yuhao.

This was Huo Yuhao’s first successful transaction, so he couldn’t help butfeel excited. After receiving the copper coins, he became even more seriouswhile roasting the fish, so much so that he even roused some of the soulforcehe’d just recovered in order to use his Spiritual Detection to better controlthe heat.

With the first customer, there would naturally be more people who’d come over.Only, this was the first time that Huo Yuhao had appeared here. His fishsmelled quite good, and nobody knew how they tasted. Practically all of thepeople who came over were students from Shrek Academy who’d just been dismissedfor the day.

When Huo Yuhao passed the roasted mackerel over to the yellow-shirted student,everyone else couldn’t help but look at him in expectation.
