Douluo Continent: The Peerless Hunting Heavenly Lord, Huo Yuhao!

Terms like "mass production of machines" and "low-end market" were beyond their understanding of the Soul Guiding Industry.

A moment later, whispers of sudden realization rose and fell.

Xian Lin'er's eyes shone brightly. She knew better than anyone that this proposal meant the Soul Guidance Department would break free from the suppression of the Martial Soul Department and truly step into the external market for the first time, no longer confined to the small world of the academy.

Yan Shaozhe's expression was solemn, and the rhythm of his fingertips tapping on the table carried a hint of impatience.

He understood perfectly that Qian Duoduo's so-called "strategy" was essentially just about "making money"!

Once the Soul Guidance System rises, the resource advantage of the Martial Soul System will inevitably be damaged. What's more, the one who proposed this idea was Huo Yuhao, who had taken the Martial Soul System's spot, which added even more to his already lingering dissatisfaction.

"No way!" Yan Shaozhe spoke abruptly, his tone firm and unwavering. "This is nothing but a theoretical idea! Blindly mass-producing low-end soul tools will not only waste resources but may also cause chaos in the soul tool market and impact it!"

These words, seemingly spoken from an academic perspective, are actually full of petty calculations and narrow-mindedness, unable to see the long term.

"Yan Shaozhe! You're talking nonsense!" Xian Lin'er slammed her hand on the table, stood up abruptly, her phoenix eyes wide with rage. "The Soul Guidance Department has been stifled for so many years, and it's finally got a chance to turn things around. What right do you have to stop us? Don't you know how many low-level soul tools the border front needs? This is a good thing for the country and its people!"

"Lin'er, sit down." An elderly woman with white hair on the left spoke slowly. "Elder Mu, although this is the first of its kind, it is highly feasible. Why not conduct a pilot test first, produce a small batch and release it to the border, and see the market reaction before making a decision?"

These words both supported Xian Lin'er and gave Yan Shaozhe a way out.

A glint of light flashed in Mu En's eyes, and he nodded, saying, "Granted. Duo Duo and Lin'er will be fully responsible for this matter, and the Martial Soul Department must not interfere."

He glanced at Yan Shaozhe, who seemed hesitant to speak, his eyes filled with disappointment, and gently shook his head.

"Yes, teacher!"

"Yes, Elder Mu!"

Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo spoke in unison. The former's face was full of excitement, while the latter rubbed his hands together, already starting to plan the details of mass production.

“Alright, that’s enough about this matter…” Mu En was about to adjourn the meeting when Yan Shaozhe abruptly interrupted him.

"Teacher, I have something to say!" Yan Shaozhe spoke urgently, disregarding the rules of the council, his tone carrying a deliberate calmness.

All the elders present were stunned and turned to look at each other, their eyes meeting in surprise at how brave you were. Had Yan Shaozhe been blinded by jealousy to dare interrupt Elder Mu?

Moon frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Speak."

Yan Shaozhe looked around, his gaze sweeping over Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo, and slowly spoke, his tone carrying a hint of smugness: "Teachers, esteemed elders, are you aware that a few days ago, Shrek Academy welcomed a student with four ultimate martial souls?"

Chapter 9 Huo Yuhao: If this is all there is to it, then I'll drop out of school...

"The Four Extremes?"

The three words exploded like thunder, and the Sea God Pavilion fell into a deathly silence.

The elders looked at each other, their eyes filled with bewilderment and disbelief.

In the ten thousand years of Douluo Continent, a single ultimate attribute has been extremely rare, let alone four ultimate attributes combined.

This was completely beyond their comprehension!

Moon straightened up slightly from his reclining position in the wicker chair, a rare look of surprise flashing in his deep eyes.

He knew that Huo Yuhao possessed the ultimate light, but he didn't know that he also had three other ultimate attributes. Such talent was truly unique throughout the ages!

"Huo Yuhao, a freshman who enrolled a few days ago, possesses twin martial souls!" Yan Shaozhe spoke rapidly but deliberately maintained his composure. His gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on Xian Lin'er's face with a hint of barely perceptible provocation. "His first martial soul, the Heavenly Eye, contains the dual attributes of ultimate lightning and ultimate spirit; his second martial soul, the Emperor Bow of Fate, encompasses the ultimate light and ultimate wind—four ultimate attributes combined into one!"

“Hiss…”

Gasps of astonishment filled the air. The elders either gripped the armrests of their chairs tightly or unconsciously rubbed their sleeves with their fingertips, their minds filled with only one thought: four ultimate attributes, even just one of them would be enough to ensure Shrek Academy's continued glory for ten thousand years, let alone all four combined?

This is simply a treasure bestowed upon Shrek by the heavens!

"Just imagine!" Yan Shaozhe's eyes blazed with fervor, his voice trembling slightly with excitement. "Such a genius, if entrusted with the careful nurturing of the Martial Soul System, will surely be able to rival Tang San's ancestor in the future, and even surpass the Sea God! At that time, Shrek Academy will become a true holy land of the continent!"

He became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he could already see himself as Huo Yuhao's guide after he became a god, and how he would be remembered in history like the "God's Shit" Yu Xiaogang. Suddenly, his tone changed, full of disappointment, "But he insisted on joining the Soul Guidance Department! Relying on those external things is simply a waste of talent and a misguided path!"

Xuanzi nodded heavily, slamming the half-eaten chicken leg on the table, oil splattering everywhere: "Shao Zhe is right! The ultimate martial soul should be tempered with one's own soul power. Soul tools are just unorthodox methods that will only delay this kid's future!"

In his view, the Martial Soul system is the orthodox one, while the Soul Guidance system is ultimately not worthy of respect.

"Therefore! I propose that Huo Yuhao withdraw from the Soul Guidance Department and transfer to the Martial Soul Department!" Yan Shaozhe finally revealed his fangs, his tone carrying an undeniable force.

Qian Duoduo's face was ashen, his fists clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white; Xian Lin'er gritted her teeth, her phoenix eyes blazing with fury.

Yan Shaozhe's words clearly implied that the Soul Guidance Department was not worthy of Huo Yuhao and that he looked down on the Soul Guidance Department!

“I agree! Huo Yuhao must come to the Martial Soul Department!” Xuanzi echoed, his tone full of self-righteousness, as if Huo Yuhao would definitely agree.

Several elders who favored the Martial Soul system chimed in, and the hall was filled with voices proclaiming "the orthodox Martial Soul system" and "talent should not be wasted."

Old Song looked at his daughter Xianlin'er's tense profile, then glanced at Mu En, his lips moving several times before he finally fell silent and lowered his eyes.

Reason told her that it would be more beneficial for Shrek Academy to keep Huo Yuhao in the Martial Soul System, but emotionally, how could she watch her daughter and son-in-law's painstakingly built Soul Guidance System miss out on such a genius?

Everyone has selfish desires, and the glory of the Soul Guidance Department is also her expectation.

Moon sighed softly, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

He had a brief conversation with Huo Yuhao. The boy's eyes were clear but distant, as if he could see through the deep-seated problems beneath Shrek Academy's millennia-long glory.

He knew that Huo Yuhao was never rejecting Shrek Academy, but rather this already somewhat corrupt system.

"Let Huo Yuhao decide this matter himself." Mu En raised his eyelids, his voice calm but carrying an undeniable authority. "Duo Duo, go and bring him here."

“Yes…” Qian Duoduo replied, a hint of gratitude flashing in her eyes.

"Teacher! This is against the rules!" Yan Shaozhe hurriedly spoke up. How could a freshman enter the Sea God Pavilion at will?

Mu En slowly opened his eyes, his gaze falling on Yan Shaozhe like a cold star.

In an instant, the pressure of a level 99 Limit Douluo spread out, and the aura of the Dragon God Douluo seemed to freeze the entire hall: "I said, let Duoduo bring Yuhao here."

Yan Shaozhe's pupils contracted sharply, his throat bobbed, and in the end, he dared not refute any further, and reluctantly shut his mouth.

A moment later, Huo Yuhao was led into the Sea God Pavilion by Qian Duoduo with a blank expression.

"Student Huo Yuhao greets all seniors." He bowed respectfully, his gaze subtly sweeping over the crowd.

The fake smile on Yan Shaozhe's face, the urgency and pressure in Xuanzi's eyes, and the ugly expressions on Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er's faces instantly made him understand the crux of the problem.

"Child, there's no need to be nervous." Mu En's voice was gentle and kind. "I summoned you here simply to ask if you are willing to leave the Soul Guidance Department and switch to the Martial Soul Department?"

"Kid, think it through! This is the best opportunity of your life!" Xuanzi's voice was old and deep, with a hint of threat, and the chicken leg in his hand was still dripping with oil.

Huo Yuhao looked at Yan Shaozhe's hypocritical "it's for your own good" act, then turned to look at Qian Duoduo, a hint of warmth flashing in his eyes.

He recalled how Qian Duoduo, based solely on Fan Yu's recommendation, overcame all opposition to allow Huo Gua to join the Soul Guidance Department, and he remembered this trust in his heart.

"Thank you for your appreciation, seniors of the Martial Soul Department." Huo Yuhao's tone was gentle, but his words were firm. "However, I know that a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of gratitude. Although I have not known Teacher Qian and Teacher Fanyu for long, they have been kind to me and have nurtured me. The Soul Guidance Department has treated me well, so I cannot betray them. I refuse to transfer to the Martial Soul Department."

He smiled at Qian Duoduo and bowed again.

But inwardly, I was already cursing: Seriously? Yan Shaozhe's moral blackmail of "craftsmanship spirit" in the original novel was utterly disgusting...

"Boy, what did you say?!" Xuanzi slammed his hand on the table, splattering oil everywhere, and glared at Huo Yuhao. "You're wasting your talent! You're just wasting your life!"

"Senior, this is my own choice, and it has nothing to do with anyone else." Huo Yuhao's tone was calm, but it carried a hint of indifference that was hard to detect.

"Huo Yuhao, you..." Yan Shaozhe wanted to say something more.

"If the academy insists that I transfer to the Martial Soul Department, then I will have no choice but to drop out." Huo Yuhao interrupted him directly, bowed, and spoke calmly but resolutely.

The words "drop out of school" resounded like the booming of bells and drums within the Sea God Pavilion.

"You bastard! How dare you threaten Shrek Academy?!" Xuanzi was furious, and a terrifying pressure of soul power instantly enveloped Huo Yuhao, wanting to teach him a lesson.

Huo Yuhao felt his bones making a series of cracking sounds, and the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong circulated on its own, resisting the pressure.

A thin layer of sweat beaded on his forehead, but his back remained straight, and he didn't utter a sound, only coldly staring at Xuanzi.

Shrek Academy's reputation for corruption is well-deserved; they can actually put their students under such pressure.

"Enough, Xuanzi." Mu En's voice was as soft as a drizzle, yet it instantly dissolved Xuanzi's oppressive aura.

He looked at Huo Yuhao with a complicated expression: "Child, we are not trying to force you."

“Shrek is ultimately an academy, and its primary purpose is to educate people. We will not force any student.” Mu En paused, glanced at Yan Shaozhe and the others, and said in a deep voice, “Since Yuhao has made up his mind, then let him stay in the Soul Guidance Department.”

Chapter 10 Wu Feng, Huo Yuhao: Our goal is the stars and the sea!

Mu En glanced at Yan Shaozhe, whose eyes were darting around, and sighed softly as he looked at Huo Yuhao: "Child, go back."

Huo Yuhao looked at Qian Duoduo, who nodded in acknowledgment. Huo Yuhao then bowed and said, "This student takes his leave."

Stepping out of the Sea God Pavilion, Huo Yuhao's expression darkened slightly. He knew Yan Shaozhe would try to sabotage him in this direct confrontation with the Martial Soul system, but he had no regrets.

The members of the Martial Soul Department were short-sighted, like frogs at the bottom of a well. Xuanzi's bullying behavior had touched a nerve with him.

He was never a magnanimous person; he believed in the principle of "you treat me with respect, I'll treat you with even greater respect; if you offend me, I'll retaliate without hesitation." He remembered Xuanzi's intimidating presence today.

"Have you tasted the bitterness of weakness?" Within the sea of ​​consciousness, the lazy voice of the Celestial Hound carried a hint of sharpness.

"Hmm," Huo Yuhao replied in a deep voice.

"The strong prey on the weak; in this world, weakness is the original sin."

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

That's right. Only by becoming stronger can you control your own destiny and avoid being manipulated by others.

The following day, in the classroom of Class 9, freshmen.
