Douluo Continent: Shrek Prince, Getting to the Root of the Matter

Huo Yuhao's body trembled like a leaf, large beads of sweat streamed down his forehead, falling to the ground and rising in a white mist.

The temperature in the training room was rising rapidly! And the source of all this was that woman in front of them!

As the suppression continued, Ma Xiaotao's thin eyebrows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"No! My soul power is too weak! My speed is too slow! My efficiency is too low! Compared to Wudao..."

She closed her eyes to sense the condition within her body, and couldn't help but compare it with the effect when the Jade Imprint had previously assisted her.

However, the more she thought about it, the more impatient she became.

Until one moment, she suddenly felt the soul power flowing from behind her stop.

Ma Xiaotao frowned and turned her head away.

"Why did you stop?"

Even though Huo Yuhao was filled with anger, he dared not utter a single complaint in the face of the red school uniform and the woman's powerful aura.

His body trembled from the depletion of his soul power. He opened his mouth several times before finally speaking hesitantly:

"Senior...I...I've exhausted my soul power..."

Ma Xiaotao was taken aback for a moment, then impatiently pinched her brow, waved at Huo Yuhao, and said:

"Then you can go now."

Huo Yuhao dared not mention the benefits, but to get from the inner courtyard back to the outer courtyard, he had to cross the Sea God Lake, and in his current state, he probably couldn't even swim.

"Senior, I'm at Poseidon Lake..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ma Xiaotao impatiently interrupted him.

"There are two small boats on the shore of the inner courtyard; you can find them quickly by following the lakeside."

Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth, but faced with Ma Xiaotao's irritable appearance, he dared not say anything more and could only turn around and leave.

He stood trembling by the shore of Poseidon Lake, gritting his teeth and thinking to himself:

"This woman is really going too far! Sigh... given my current physical condition, it's probably best not to do anything unnecessary. I should recover first before rowing back!"

Just then, a voice rang out from behind him.

"Hey, you're here too!"

The familiar voice startled Huo Yuhao, who quickly turned around.

"Class monitor!"

He exclaimed in surprise.

Yu Wudao nodded, walked over, and put his arm around his shoulder.

"Can't go back? Come on, I'll take you back to the outer courtyard."

Huo Yuhao nodded gratefully and said:

"Thank you, class monitor!"

Yu Wudao patted him on the shoulder, "No problem, just don't forget the treasure appreciation event tonight!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's eyes flashed with excitement, and he responded enthusiastically:

"I will never forget! Don't worry, squad leader!"

Yu Wudao smiled but didn't say anything more.

He glanced back in the direction of Ma Xiaotao's dormitory, then led Huo Yuhao away from the inner courtyard.

……

As the sun began to set, time passed quickly, and it was time for Shrek to be dismissed from school again.

For the core disciples of the outer academy, this day is also quite special, as the long-awaited treasure appreciation event is tonight!

Whether it's elixirs, medicinal herbs, soul bones, custom soul rings, or even cultivation resources related to soul tools, you can obtain them all at the Treasure Hunt!

The Treasure Appreciation Gathering will estimate the credit limit for each disciple based on their talent and potential, allowing them to obtain the necessary cultivation resources at tonight's gathering. The stronger the disciple's talent and potential, the higher the approved credit limit.

Yu Wudao, Wang Dong, and Huo Yuhao stepped out of the academy gate together and headed towards the location of the Treasure Pavilion in Shrek City.

Although it was already evening, the street vendors were still coming and going, and not many shops on both sides were closed for the night.

Shrek City, as the premier city in the Douluo Continent, is so prosperous that even Yu Wudao, from the perspective of a transmigrator, would consider it a prestigious place.

"I wonder what it will be like tomorrow?"

He was lost in thought for no reason, and only came to his senses when the three of them arrived at their destination.

"Let's go in and take a look."

Yu Wudao said something and took the lead in entering the pavilion.

In fact, he didn't expect to find anything good at this treasure hunt.

In the original story, the best thing in there is the soul bone that Wang Dong is currently in.

Based on the information Yu Wudao currently possesses, he strongly suspects that the golden left arm bone was placed at the treasure appreciation event by Mu En for Bei Bei's sake!

The reason it was priced so high was so that Beibei could go back to the inner courtyard to ask Mu En for help, and in the meantime, resolve the knot in her heart from back then, and also use this soul bone to stabilize her martial soul bloodline!

But who knew that Beibei, that clueless guy, just couldn't remember this! Or rather, "asking Moon for help" was never an option for him.

And coincidentally, the Treasure Pavilion gave Huo Yuhao an outrageous allowance, so Wang Dong directly took the soul bone.

On the other side, Moon naturally wouldn't say anything more. He had already gone to such lengths, but Beibei still failed him. He couldn't possibly lower himself to take the initiative, could he?

In Yu Wudao's view, this suspicion was almost 99% correct!

If that is indeed the case, then the Treasure Pavilion would truly not have what he needs.

Truly good things are rarely displayed in public!

Wang Dong followed closely behind Yu Wudao, entering the Treasure Pavilion with a curious expression.

The first floor contained only basic cultivation resources, without any particularly precious rare and precious materials. The two of them lost interest after taking a quick look around.

Just then, Huo Yuhao, having finished estimating the amount, was followed by a staff member who came to the two of them.

The staff member looked up, then immediately approached Yu Wudao and asked:

"Excuse me, are you Yu Wudao?"

Yu Wudao's eyes darted around, and he looked at him, replying:

"Yes, it is. What's wrong?"

Upon hearing this, the staff member immediately turned to the side and reached out, saying:

"The master said to go to the fourth floor; you'll find what you need there."

"Oh?"

Yu Wudao raised an eyebrow, showing some interest.

He turned to Wang Dong and said:

"Looks like I'm in luck; I even got a pleasant surprise!"

"Lead the way!"

Upon hearing this, the staff member glanced at Wang Dong and said:

"I'm sorry! The sect leader said only you can go up!"

"Why all the fuss?"

Yu Wudao was genuinely interested at this moment. He patted Wang Dong on the shoulder, signaling her to wait a moment, while he followed the staff to the stairwell on the third floor.

"Yu Wudao, I can't go up. You'll have to walk from here on out."

He stepped aside to make way for him.

Yu Wudao glanced at him and stepped onto the stairs.

Tap, tap, tap!

There weren't many steps, and Yu Wudao reached the fourth floor in just a few steps.

The space on the fourth floor is much smaller than that on the third floor, almost half the size of the third floor. It is also not as well-stocked as the other floors, with only one exhibit placed alone in the center of the floor.

His solemn demeanor completely piqued Yu Wudao's interest, and he stepped forward to look at the sole exhibit.
