--- Chapter 246 ---

[Ding! You have triggered a quest!]

[Helping Your Competitors]

[Objective: Assist the Shrek Academy in training the new Shrek Seven Devils(0/7)]

[Failure: None]

[Time Limit: Two Weeks]

[Reward: Shrek Academy's Strategic Resources, Shrek Academy's Max Affinity, Tang Sect's Secret Map]

[Do you want to accept the quest?]

[Yes/No]

Huo Yuhao briefly glanced at the quest page, frowning at the first and last rewards. He doesn't care much about Shrek Academy's Max Affection, but

a strategic resource is something a faction wouldn't share with outsiders.

On top of that, there is also the Tang Sect's secret map. Huo Yuhao could already guess this map has something to do with the Medicinal Garden left behind by Tang San.

But Huo Yuhao knew that he couldn't accept immediately. As the leader of the Dragon, he must squeeze Shrek Academy and possibly Tang Sect dry first.

He finished his beef and washed it down with a glass of water.

He rubbed his forehead and stared at Xuan Zi, "You realize this was no different than helping my opponent, right?"

"Why would I help my enemy, knowing the Continental Advanced Academy Soul Tournament will get held soon? It's no different than raising dogs and then getting bitten on the ass later."

"..." Xuan Zi. He also couldn't understand Mu En's decision.

As the Sea God Pavilion's master, Mu En is the wisest person Xuan Zi has known his entire life.

Yet the same person instructed him to ask-! No, if necessary, beg Huo Yuhao to raise this new batch of Seven Shrek Devils.

It was mind-boggling.

Xuan Zi knew there must be a reason behind this matter. After all, Mu En suddenly regained his strength and vitality. Such a tremendous change has something to do with the blue-haired youth before him.

Unknown to Xuan Zi, even a wise Mu En couldn't bear to tell his disciples about a spar between Huo Yuhao and himself. The outcome is too shocking if more people know.

In short, Xuan Zi doesn't know the extent of Huo Yuhao's power. He only saw the blue-haired youth as a talented fellow from the Dragon Nest.

Xuan Zi sighed and replied, "Shrek Academy is willing to pay more."

Huo Yuhao waved his hand, "It's not about the price..."

"Don't you guys, Shrek Academy, have pride as the number one institution on the Douluo Continent? Yeah, you heard that right. Aren't you guys the best in this field?"

Huo Yuhao's words struck deep in everyone's hearts.

Yes, he was right. The Shrek Academy is indeed the best academy on the Douluo Continent, and they have the foundation to back it up.

However, the world changed too freaking fast!

All due to Huo Yuhao changed its course and built the Dragon Nest, affecting the Douluo Continent or pretty much the world.

Well, Huo Yuhao won't mention that to these people.

Wang Dong huffed and glared at Huo Yuhao, "But you trained us already, didn't you? Have you forgotten that Teacher Zhou's Class was 'literally' taught by you in the last three days?"

"What did I teach exactly? I saw you no different than a moving target for my arrow." Huo Yuhao countered casually.

"Y-You!" Wang Dong was speechless.

How shameless can one be?

Qianye Ying'er and Scathach watched this little drama with interest. They didn't know what Huo Yuhao was planning.

'What do you think he's doing?' Scathach asked Qianye Ying'er.

'I don't know.' Qianye Ying'er responded. 'From what I've seen in the past months, nothing in the Shrek Academy could pique Huo Yuhao's interest.'

'Well, except one...'

'What's it?'

'Beauties!'

Scathach choked on her wine and glanced at Qianye Ying'er weirdly. But as she thought it through, the golden-haired lass had a point.

What other things could attract Huo Yuhao than girls? Huo Yuhao's harem is so massive from conquering Draconic Deus and one more Universe, but he's still catching new girls like they were pets now.

Weirdly, Scathach didn't think it was strange, nor was she jealous. She and others literally needed help to defeat Huo Yuhao on the bed. So, more help is appreciated.

Scathach wiped her mouth with a napkin and scanned the room with a watchful gaze. She ignored Ma Xiaotao and Xiao Xiao because they were guaranteed to become part of the harem sooner or later.

There are only four ladies who can be considered single in this room.

One is cross-dressing as a boy.

One is someone Scathach has never seen in the group.

One is actually decently old, being 200 years old.

And the last is this aloof-looking fellow.

'Hmm, which one caught Huo Yuhao's attention?' Just like Scathach, Qianye Ying'er also spotted the creams of the crop.

They eliminated the ladies one after another, leading to Zhang Lexuan.

Likewise, one of the Shrek Academy's elders also observed Huo Yuhao when he entered this room. Song Yunzhi is a calm and collected woman who has lived for 200 years. Her daughter was also a Title Douluo and worked as the Vice-Dean of the Spirit Guidance Tool Department.

'The way he walks, eats, and speaks exudes utter confidence. He wasn't afraid of Title Douluo, as if they weren't threats to him.' Song Yunzhi sipped her tea, peeking at the window. 'Xuan Zi, This boy is either a fool or someone with deep experience despite being in a young category.'

'It's the latter.' Xuan Zi let out a sigh. A fool wouldn't act like this before a Title Douluo. After all, it's no different than courting death.

Xuan Zi frowned and finally opened his mouth, "We, Shrek Academy, do have pride. However, we are also willing to admit our weakness when nurturing talents like the Dragon Nest."

"I mean... Never in 10,000 years of Shrek Academy's history, I've seen someone with ridiculous Spirit Ring configurations like you guys. You must have experimented hard, attempting trial and error countless times, to discover such a method."

"For example, Ma Xiaotao. Her strength and Spirit Ring's configuration were normal or could say up to Shrek Academy's standards, until you helped her fix the Martial Soul's problem, allowing her to start anew."

"She now has six Black Spirit Rings, and such a case is abnormal no matter how one sees it. From history, people who experienced this miraculous metamorphosis could become a GOD!"

"So, you wanted me to raise Gods now? Wow, how great." Huo Yuhao chuckled helplessly.

"That's not what I mean-!" Xuan Zi wanted to fix his words, but Huo Yuhao suddenly raised his hand.

Huo Yuhao raised his hand and pointed at Zhang Lexuan, "I will assist you in tempering the new Shrek Seven Devils, but that older sister right there should be my personal assistant."

'I knew it.' Scathach and Qianye Ying'er glanced at each other again.

"You bastard, so you're eyeing Senior Zhang from the beginning!" Wang Dong couldn't help but be angry at Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao shrugged and responded, "I don't know what you are talking about. I have no idea who she was. I only find this older sister interesting after talking with elders, that's it."

'That's a lie.' Everyone thought while looking at Huo Yuhao's thick-skinned face.

Zhang Lexuan didn't show much emotion when Huo Yuhao added her to the clause. Mu En(her teacher) was accurate that Huo Yuhao would find her existence interesting.

To put it in perspective, Zhang Lexuan is the most gifted person Mu En ever found. She possessed a rare constitution and tool-type Martial Soul, Moon, allowing her to reach a Soul Sage upon reaching twenty years of age.

Although Zhang Lexuan didn't express it, she prided herself on reaching this far and being thankful for Mu En's teaching.

"Very well, I agree with your condition." Zhang Lexuan parted her red lips.

"Lexuan, this is..." Xuan Zi and Song Yunzhi were surprised.

Zhang Lexuan put on a calm look and replied, "Since I was part of the clause for Huo Yuhao to us, I have a say in this conversation..."

Xuan Zi bitterly shook his head, "You heard her."

"Fantastic." Huo Yuhao clapped his hands. "We will start tomorrow morning."

He gazed at Zhang Lexuan and added, "Please take care of me well, Senior Zhang."

"Mm." Zhang Lexuan nodded casually.

Everyone looked at their exchanges with a wide range of emotions.

Bei Bei, in particular, has complicated feelings surge in his chest. It was a secret, but Zhang Lexuan is actually engaged to him. It's the arrangement of Mu En.

'Maybe this is for the best. I couldn't see Sister Lexuan more than a sister.' Bei Bei thought earnestly. He only has feelings for one person, and that's Tang Ya.

[Ding! You have accepted the quest]

"Well, let's enjoy the feast, everyone!" Huo Yuhao took this chance to change the heavy mood. He felt great because Zhang Lexuan might help him master the Moon's Piercer Class.

...

One week later.

The Shrek Seven Devils sprawled on the ground. Their bodies were ''thoroughly battered with sweat, mud, and blood all over.

They felt like shit. And on the verge of dying.

"Come on, if you want to grow stronger... Give it your all!" Huo Yuhao sat at the top of a boulder.

Zhang Lexuan stood beside Huo Yuhao, holding a tray of fresh beverages and fruits.

Huo Yuhao stretched his hand, and Zhang Lexuan thoughtfully handed him a drink. "Wang Dong, move your ass and start running!" He said while sipping his drink.

'This monster...' The Shrek Seven Devils clenched their hands.

For one week, Huo Yuhao abused them physically and mentally. He had no mercy for them, breaking them apart like puzzles and compiling them into a new person by throwing all the useless stuff.

They achieved an 'explosive' improvement, but Huo Yuhao was too much.

Right now, he's purposely drinking such a delicious and cooling drink in front of us!

"F-Fuck you!" They flipped their middle fingers at him hatefully.

Huo Yuhao smirked, "Keke, hate me more, you mongrels! Use that hate for something more productive, and I guarantee you an upgrade no one expected."

"Do fifty more laps!"

After hearing Huo Yuhao's words, the new Shrek Seven Devils gritted their teeth and ran on the obstacle course again! The course included several terrains, deadly traps, and many others.

They have experienced life-and-death situations many times, losing limbs one way or another. But this blue-haired devil healed those injuries and threw them back into the course.

And no, it's not your typical comfortable healing. Huo Yuhao threw them into a healing solution bath, which regenerated their cells and unearthed their potential while cleansing impurities in their bodies.

If the new Shrek Seven Devils had to describe the healing solution in one word, they would call it HELL!

Huo Yuhao finished his drink and glanced at Zhang Lexuan, "Well, Senior Zhang, it's time for our personal training."

"O-Okay..." Zhang Lexuan rarely showed her emotion, but Huo Yuhao's words caused such a change. One could see a faint redness on her cheeks.

Looking at this, one might wonder suspiciously what their 'personal' training was.
