Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, am the Master of Spirit

Chapter 392 Lionheart Club and Student Council

In a space shrouded in mist, the light from the Soul Guide Lamp pierced through the water vapor, leaving trails of light in the air.

Through the bright beam of light, two groups of figures could be vaguely seen facing each other below. Logically speaking, a scene of a group fight should not be so quiet, and the two groups of figures stood as still as statues.

Those who shower frequently know that to fill a place with such a dense mist, the water temperature must be incredibly high—enough to scald your pores and even cook your flesh.

It's more like a giant hot pot than a hot spring.

This is the Shrek Hot Spring Bath Center, designed by Aglaia herself and built at great expense. Its beautiful design and perfect temperature make it a popular destination for countless students.

Even inner court disciples or teachers would secretly come here to take a bath. Although the inner court had bathing facilities, they were far less comfortable than those in the outer court.

Occasionally, students would post on the Magic Network that they had run into Yan Shaozhe, Qian Duoduo, and other high-ranking members of the academy at the hot spring center.

This building is hailed as the greatest structure Shrek has built in nearly 10,000 years. Nobody knows what the original builders of the college were thinking. Why didn't they leave space for bathrooms in the dormitories? It's like they were deliberately sabotaging future students.

In any case, since Shrek Academy underwent reforms, it has finally begun to resemble the top academy on the continent. At least now that the beds in the dormitories have collapsed, there won't be any more thousand-year-old spirit rings appearing.

When Bai E and the others first enrolled, the beds in their dormitories were probably older than those in the average Soul Master family.

At this moment, if you were to part the thick steam, you could see two groups of people standing in the boiling hot spring, arms crossed, facing each other in silence.

People would occasionally collapse in the hot spring, and then be carefully pulled out by students standing on the ground nearby using long wooden hooks.

"horrible."

"Is that the top two strongest students on the academy's Heavenly Ranking?"

"His body remained completely still despite such high temperatures!"

On the shore, a Shrek freshman in his first-year school uniform looked at the two people at the front of the two groups in the bath with admiration.

A tall, straight man with wet white hair hanging over his shoulders and bright blue eyes stood in the center of the scalding pool.

The yellow-purple yukata exuded an aura of power under the dim light.

Bai E dared to dress like that in the bathhouse. If he dared to wear it in the academy, Aglaya would punish him by making him copy the textbooks more often for damaging the academy's aesthetics, as well as the most tedious martial spirit lineage study.

He once tried to argue his case and restore the glory of the strongman's clothes. Bearing Huo Yuhao's expectations, he could not lose!

Unfortunately, she was ultimately suppressed by Aglaia. As the head of teaching affairs, she held supreme teaching authority and was invincible.

Even someone as strong as Teacher Xia couldn't truly defeat Aglaia; his elective course on Earth Beasts was consistently rejected by Aglaia.

In order to preserve the embers of Huang Ziyi's legacy, Bai E could only set an example by secretly spreading the word at the bathhouse.

The steam from the bathtub clung to his bathrobe, revealing his muscles. They weren't overly exaggerated, but they were well-defined and toned, with all the necessary areas well-developed.

There is no trace of the power of the Nine Dragons on the whole body, and it is obvious that the muscles were built up by himself bit by bit.

In the extraordinary world of Douluo Continent, some ordinary Soul Masters, in their pursuit of strength, have turned to evil paths and started taking drugs.

Rare pills like the Xuan Shui Dan are fine, but most people take pills made in small workshops, which are characterized by strong ingredients, fast effects, and numerous side effects.

Unlike the neighboring Dou Qi Continent, Douluo Continent does not have an alchemist association to regulate the behavior of alchemists, nor does it have a systematic method of alchemy.

Both Feng Jin and Huo Yuhao had witnessed people using mercury to make medicine during their travels across the continent.

Even though Soul Masters are a supernatural profession and their bodies are resilient, they cannot eat mercury as food. For low-level Soul Masters, this would be a fatal thing.

This chaos can only be stopped through propaganda on the magic network. Huo Yuhao doesn't understand chemistry; he has long forgotten the relevant knowledge from his former teachers. He is also completely ignorant about alchemy and has no way to improve the alchemy system. He can only provide a more advanced alchemy furnace.

Standing opposite Bai Er was his good friend Medemos, who was only wearing shorts and whose short, golden-red hair was dripping with water.

His bare upper body had muscles even more powerful than Bai E's. His abdominal muscles rose and fell with his breath, and a heart-pounding power accumulated in his muscles. The freshmen watching from the shore thought that if that muscle power were released and punched them, they would probably be covered in bruises.

Medemos crossed his arms and closed his eyes, letting the scalding water and steam wash over his body.

People in Douluo Continent generally grow up quickly, usually reaching the physique of a young adult by the age of fifteen or sixteen. Although Bai E and Maidemos are fictional characters, they are still subject to the rules of the world, and their growth rate is no different from that of ordinary people.

They are much taller than when they first enrolled, and they look more mature.

Putting aside the sunny, country boy vibe of Bai E, he now resembles a battle-hardened warrior.

Of course, the premise is not to look into Bai Er's eyes; that foolishness can probably only be saved by the divinity of the destructive posture. "Haha, Medemos, don't be stubborn. It's just helping to wash underwear for half a month. It's no big deal."

"I've been washing your clothes for half a year now, it's your turn!"

Bai E began to launch a psychological attack with trash talk. The water temperature was getting higher and higher, and the continuous high temperature was scalding the skin until it turned red. The oxygen in the bath was also decreasing, and many people began to breathe rapidly.

Medemos remained silent. He knew this idiot all too well; the guy was probably about to give up, which was why he started resorting to underhanded tricks.

Whether or not he washes his underwear is irrelevant; what matters is that the word "switch" doesn't exist in his vocabulary.

"Ha ha……"

"Beibei, give up. Your student council is no match for our Lionheart Society. We should have priority in selecting this year's freshmen."

Xu Sanshi stood behind Maidemus and began to mock Beibei in front of him.

Beibei snorted and said, "You're celebrating too soon."

"It seems that even the evolution of your martial soul hasn't changed your habit of boasting."

Beibei and Xu Sanshi were promoted to the Inner Court last year. According to past practice, Bai'er, Maidemos, and others could also be promoted to the Inner Court.

However, after the reform, students from the outer academy need to complete a certain number of credits to advance to the inner academy. Bai Er and Maidemus are still fifth-year students in the outer academy.

As for Tang Ya, she left Shrek Academy two years ago. At the same time, the Iron Blood Sect of Heaven Dou City was attacked and suffered heavy losses. Almost all of them, except for the Soul Emperor Sect Master, were killed in battle. It should be the work of an evil soul master.

Tang Ya is currently in exile, and only Bei Bei occasionally receives responses from her on the magic network. She is also being monitored by the Root Group.

If possible, it would be good to absorb her into the root, as the Dark Blue Silver Grass martial soul is indeed quite good.

The movie "Dragon Raja: Dawn of Fire" has become much more popular than expected. It's the first time that people in the Douluo Continent have experienced this kind of entertainment. The brand-new story, narrative style, and worldview have all won praise from the people of the Douluo Continent.

Of course, the real director Huo Yuhao couldn't help but laugh when he thought about what the subsequent plot would be like and what kind of stone the people of Douluo Continent would be fed.

As for being confronted by viewers offline or receiving death threats, he wasn't worried at all. If anyone wanted to talk to him, he would talk to Herzog. Why would he, Huo Yuhao, "Yege"?

Because it capitalized on the popularity of the Dragon God War, it also attracted the interest of many Beast Kings. They applied to the Spirit Pagoda to see if a movie theater could be set up in the Star Dou Great Forest. Of course, Di Tian did not have a very good opinion of the movie.

He felt that the dragon race in the story was purely fictional. Apart from their physical structure, they were nothing like dragons. In particular, the protagonist, Di Tian thought, was so unlucky despite having dragon blood. He was truly astonished.

In reality, someone with such a terrible personality would be completely unable to control the dragon bloodline. He would probably end up like Yu Xiaogang from ten thousand years ago, turning the True Dragon Martial Soul into a pig.

Di Tian originally wanted to criticize the movie harshly on his "Popular Dragon Videos on the Magic Network," but seeing that his master seemed to like the movie quite a bit, he had no choice but to swallow his words.

He didn't quite understand why people and animals of this age would like this kind of movie, and the elderly leader felt a generation gap between himself and the younger generation.

The Shrek Academy Student Council and Lionheart Club are modeled after those in the movies; they are essentially just two student organizations with no officially recognized authority.

Of course, power in a fantasy world comes from strength. Bai E and Maidemos are the first and second on the Shrek Academy's Heavenly Ranking, respectively, and this strength also brings them a lot of power.

The student council, led by Bai Er, is keen to help lower-grade students adapt to campus life, handle some campus disputes, or organize some campus activities.

Their mentor was Naksha, who attempted to spread the Earth Beast through the student council and use the students to blackmail Aglaia.

The Lionheart Society, led by Medemus, is obsessed with training its students relentlessly in pursuit of greater power. They study all sorts of mainstream and unorthodox cultivation methods in an effort to find a more scientific path to becoming stronger.

Driven by the desire to become stronger, Lionheart's average academic performance even surpasses that of the student council, because now knowledge equals power. Entering the academy's elite ranking list is the dream of every student.

The Lionheart Society's instructor was Yan Shaozhe, who owed Medemos a great debt of gratitude, basically giving him whatever he was asked to do. Moreover, he thought the Lionheart Society's philosophy was excellent, that students should only think about becoming stronger.

Aglaia knew about this, but she didn't interfere much. As long as the student council and the Lionheart Society didn't try to stage a student uprising to overthrow the administration, she let them do whatever they wanted.

Seeing the lively antics of Bai'er, Medemos, Tibo, and the others, Aglaia would always show a gentle smile.

Back to reality, just as the student council was about to reach its breaking point and have to wash Lionheart Club's underwear for half a month, a student on guard at the door rushed in and said:

"President Bai... President Bai E!"

"Oh no! Something terrible has happened! Senior Tibo is here with Director Aglaia!"

"They seem to have ill intentions!"
