The Peerless Tang Sect: Possessing Huo Yuhao at the Start

Chapter 5 Shrek Academy

Time flies, and half a year has passed since Huo Zhanji obtained the second soul ring of the Double Pupil Martial Soul. In these six months, Huo Zhanji's soul power has reached level 23, and he is only one step away from level 24.

"That's strange. In the original story, Huo Yuhao's soul power was already level 23 when he obtained the Ice Jade Scorpion Martial Soul, but why is mine like this?" Huo Zhanji asked the system with a puzzled look.

[Host, have you forgotten that your second martial soul is the Frost Dragon, which surpasses the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion in terms of species? Moreover, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion doesn't exist as your martial soul, so this situation is quite normal.]

"Okay, I understand now. The quality is just too high." Huo Zhanji said, resting his right hand on his forehead.

[Ding! System has issued a mission: Join Shrek Academy and receive the ultimate skill "Throat-Shattering Lock" as a reward.]

"For the sake of the reward, I'll join for now," Huo Zhanji sighed.

There are two requirements to be admitted to Shrek Academy's outer academy: first, you must be no more than twelve years old; second, your soul power must be no less than level fifteen; and most importantly, you must have a recommendation letter from at least the city lord level of one of the three major empires.

According to Huo Zhanji's original plan, he should have gone to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, but he quickly gave up. The reason was that it was too far away, requiring him to cross half a continent. In addition, with the Mingdou Mountains blocking the way, heavily guarded by soldiers, it would be difficult for Huo Zhanji to sneak in. He could only wait until later.

Moreover, Huo Zhanji's current strength is only a level 23 Great Soul Master, which is no match for Tang San. Although the system has blocked the secrets of heaven, Tang San is not to be trifled with. His daughter is still in Douluo Continent, and he can still sense the destiny of Douluo Continent through her. Rather than gambling on an unknown, it is better to develop quietly under Tang San's watchful eye.

Shrek Academy is located on the Lima Plain and covers an extremely large area. It is a city in itself, hence the name Shrek City. Shrek Academy has independent governance over the city and does not need to pay taxes to any country.

The south, west, and north gates of Shrek City are open to all, except for the east gate, which is exclusively for Shrek Academy. After asking for directions, Huo Zhanji went straight to the east gate.

At the east gate, there were more than a dozen young students from Shrek Academy guarding the area. Each of them was dressed in a yellow outfit with a green pattern on their chest.

"Young man, what brings you here?" The leading male student walked up to Huo Zhanji and asked with a smile.

"I'm a freshman this year, here to register and take the exam." Huo Zhanji nodded with a smile.

"Young man, there are requirements for enrolling in Shrek Academy. First, you must be no older than twelve. Second, your soul power must be at least level fifteen. Furthermore, you must have a recommendation letter from at least the main city level of one of the three great empires. So, what is your current cultivation level?"

"Level 23." A white and a purple spirit ring rose from beneath Huo Zhanji's feet.

"Ten-year soul ring, level twenty-three soul power" Not only the male student, but also the other Shrek Academy students were all staring at Huo Zhanji in disbelief.

"Senior, my first spirit ring became what it is now due to some kind of mutation," Huo Zhanji explained.

"If it's a mutation, then that makes sense. Where's your recommendation letter, junior?" the male student said.

Huo Zhanji slid his bracelet off his wrist and took out a letter of recommendation with his portrait printed on it. Coincidentally, this letter of recommendation was edited by the system after Huo Zhanji obtained his second soul ring.

"Huo Zhanji, Martial Soul: Double Pupils, eleven years old, Soul Power Level 23!"

"Hello senior, did I pass?" Huo Zhanji asked.

The male student stood up and said, "Come on, I'll take you to register."

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the mission and joining Shrek Academy. You are rewarded with the ultimate skill, "Throat-Crushing Lock." Would you like to learn it?]

"Study," Huo Zhanji murmured to himself.

[Successfully learned "Throat-Breaking Lock"]

Suddenly, a special energy surged toward Huo Zhanji's right hand, and with a gentle grip, he felt an inexhaustible strength.

"This skill is one that not everyone at the same level can withstand," Huo Zhanji said with a calm smile, looking at his right hand.

Passing through the East Gate, you'll find Shrek Academy directly ahead. Shrek Academy is lush with vegetation. Walking along the wide avenue, you can see meticulously manicured plants in every direction. After walking two hundred meters ahead, ten enormous statues appear. Each statue is ten meters tall and carved from the hardest granite. They are statues of the original Shrek Seven Devils and the teachers of Shrek Academy.

Turning left from the statue, the path leads to Poseidon Lake. The senior student introduced everything to Huo Zhanji, and they arrived at Shrek Square. Behind the square were rows of tall teaching buildings, each a different color, mainly white, yellow, purple, and black. Further north, there was a cluster of gray teaching buildings. The senior student led Huo Zhanji to a white teaching building to register and pay his tuition. Huo Zhanji then received his dormitory key, two sets of school uniforms, and a white freshman badge.

Huo Zhanji frowned slightly at a notice on the bulletin board in the distance. He didn't need to go forward; he simply circulated his soul power, and the powerful visual ability of his Double Pupil Martial Soul came into play. The notice read: Class Teacher of Freshman Class 1, Zhou Yi; Class Teacher of Freshman Class 2...

"Zhou Yi? I think I'm in the freshman class! There's really no way to avoid this. I'm already several days late, how can this be?" Huo Zhanji held his forehead with his right hand, his mentality collapsing instantly.

The dormitory building occupies a vast area. Although it is a single building, it is painted in four colors: white, yellow, purple, and black. These colors represent the living areas for students of different grades, from lower to higher. It has six floors. Despite his mental breakdown, Huo Zhanji still went straight to the entrance of the white dormitory building. As soon as he looked up, he saw an elderly man sitting there.

The old man was dressed in a gray cloth robe, his face covered with wrinkles, his eyes were dim and yellow, and his eyelids drooped, giving him a frail and elderly appearance. The sunlight between the buildings shone just right on him, and the reclining chair looked quite comfortable.

"This should be the Dragon God Douluo. He doesn't seem to be too badly poisoned." Huo Zhanji sized up the old man in front of him.

Huo Zhanji then stepped forward respectfully and said, "Hello, sir. I'm a freshman this year, here to move into the dormitory. Would you like to check my freshman badge?"

Without looking up, Moon extended his trembling right hand, and a hoarse, low voice rang out, "Let me see your badge and dorm key."

Huo Zhanji handed over his freshman badge and dormitory key. Mu En glanced at them and then said, "Go ahead, dormitory 108 is the third room on the left on the first floor. The fourth floor and up are girls' dormitories, you can't go up there, or you'll be expelled."

"Thank you." Huo Zhanji bowed and then walked into the dormitory building.

The old man remained motionless in his original posture and muttered, "Such impressive mental strength, what an interesting little fellow."

Following the directions, Huo Zhanji quickly found his dormitory. The student dormitory was a dormitory building with long corridors and dormitory doors on both sides, each with a number on it.

The dormitory door was open, and Huo Zhanji walked straight in. He was greeted by a young man with delicate features, fair skin, and a pair of unusual big eyes that were a light pinkish-blue.

"Who are you?" Wang Dong asked after seeing Huo Zhanji enter the dormitory.

Huo Zhanji glanced around the dormitory. The room had been uninhabited for at least a month, covered in a thick layer of dust. Wang Dong's luggage was still on the only relatively clean table in the room.

My name is Huo Zhanji.

"Oh, you're the one who shares a dorm room with me? Great, you have half an hour to clean the dorm room, and then I'll allow you to stay with me temporarily."

"However, there are a few rules you need to remember. First, you're not allowed to bring anyone back to the dorm without permission. Second, you're not allowed to be naked in the dorm and annoy others. Third, you're not allowed to snore at night. Fourth, don't disturb me. Fifth, you're responsible for cleaning the dorm from now on, but don't touch my bed. Understand?"

Seeing Wang Dong's arrogant demeanor, Huo Zhanji said indifferently, "Why should I listen to you?"

Wang Dong snorted coldly, "If you don't listen to me, I'll throw you out. Try me if you don't believe me."

Whether it was before or after the transmigration, what Huo Zhanji disliked most was this arrogant attitude. He coldly said, "Let's try it then. Let's go out."

Seeing Huo Zhanji's unyielding attitude, Wang Dong laughed instead. His smile was handsome, but the disdain and contempt in it only strengthened Huo Zhanji's determination to beat him up.

Huo Zhanji calmed himself and asked, "What's your name?"

Wang Dong said nonchalantly, "My name is Wang Dong." With that, he turned and walked out first.

Huo Zhanji strode out after him. In the past, he was the one who bullied others, and no one had ever dared to bully him. Now someone had walked right into his trap. "Hmm, if your future girlfriend is naughty, just beat her up."
