Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 36 Little Huo Grilled Fish

Zhou Yi was deeply moved. Since becoming a teacher, she rarely felt moved by her students' performances, but this time, she was truly touched. Because of Huo Yuhao, and because of the eighty-eight students who had gotten up and followed behind him. This was no longer just a simple physical workout for them, but a mental trial! On the faces of these eleven or twelve-year-old children, Zhou Yi saw a weary yet resolute determination.

This lesson was far more effective than she had imagined. "Ring ring—" The bell finally rang, signaling the end of get out of class.

Crash, crash—this time, it really was a domino effect; the piercing school bell instantly knocked down a large group of people. The metal uniforms clattered against the ground, creating a series of sounds, and the fallen freshmen kicked up a cloud of dust.

Huo Yuhao also collapsed, and the school bell finally allowed him to fully release the persistence and determination in his heart.

Ji Lin reached out and supported Huo Yuhao to prevent him from falling. To be honest, Ji Lin admired Huo Yuhao's willpower quite a bit. If he were to switch places with Huo Yuhao, he might not be able to do what Huo Yuhao did.

He didn't have the same deep-seated hatred and obsession as Huo Yuhao. After transmigrating, he had a smooth life without too many hardships. In terms of willpower alone, he couldn't compare to Huo Yuhao, who had suffered greatly since childhood and harbored deep hatred.

Zhou Yi took a slow, deep breath and waved to the distance. A man dressed in white floated over, seemingly arriving beside her with just a few taps on the ground. After nodding to her, he turned to the group of students. Dazzling spirit rings rose from beneath his feet: two yellow, two purple, and three black. There were a total of seven.

A Soul Saint! This is actually a Soul Saint level expert above level 70. Among Soul Masters, he is already close to the peak! And he looks to be only in his thirties, but the vicissitudes in his eyes do not match his youthful appearance.

He raised his hands, and a soft green began to grow from his palms. His seventh spirit ring swirled with black light. With a flick of his body, he vanished. Green leaves grew wildly, and in an instant, the powerful seven-ringed being transformed into a towering tree. A gentle breeze seemed to blow, and exactly ninety-one emerald leaves flew out from the massive canopy of the tree, landing lightly on the ninety-one freshmen of Class One.

Everyone felt an unparalleled sense of comfort and coolness, which instantly spread throughout their bodies. Their aching muscles and the wounds from the iron armor were healing at an astonishing rate. Even their physical strength was gradually recovering. Only their soul power remained empty, unaffected by the verdant leaves.

Feeling the changes in his body, Ji Lin breathed a sigh of relief. Although Zhou Yi was a bit abnormal, she still knew to invite a level 70 Soul Saint with the Tree of Life Martial Soul to heal and restore their bodies, preventing them from suffering any hidden injuries.

At least she has some conscience.

Amidst swirling emerald light, after releasing its ninety-one leaves, the towering tree swiftly retracted, instantly transforming back into the white-robed man. He nodded to Zhou Yi, who in turn bowed respectfully. The man then vanished like a gust of wind, just as he had arrived. Throughout the entire ordeal, he hadn't uttered a single word to Zhou Yi.

The trainees got up from the ground one after another. Although they were still tired, they felt an indescribable pleasure after pushing their bodies to the limit.

Huo Yuhao also woke up from his semi-conscious state.

Looking at the trainees who had stood up one by one, Zhou Yi said calmly, "I must say, you have given me a surprising answer. Today, no one will be eliminated."

Upon hearing this, the trainees couldn't help but cheer. Those who had finished the last few laps, in particular, felt a huge sense of relief.

Looking at the cheering students, Zhou Yi finally spoke: "Dismissed. Everyone take your iron armor back. Tomorrow, other teachers will give you theory lessons. I suggest you meditate carefully and fully digest the improvements and significance of today's physical training class. The day after tomorrow afternoon is my class again. By then, I hope I won't see any more useless students."

"Yes!" the students responded in unison, and then dispersed.

Ji Lin and Huo Yuhao returned to their dormitory and began to fetch water to wash themselves. Just then, they heard a girl shouting outside the door.

"Huo Yuhao."

It was someone looking for Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao thought to himself, "Oh no!" and quickly called out to the door, "Teacher Xiaoya, I'm coming out right away."

He greeted Ji Lin, put on his clothes, and rushed out the door.

Ji Lin guessed that it was Tang Ya who was looking for him. Huo Yuhao had previously mentioned that he and Tang Ya would set up a stall to sell grilled fish at the school gate.

Ji Lin had been wanting to try Huo Yuhao's grilled fish for a long time, so he decided to go and check it out.

After he finished washing up, he put on his clothes, went out, and called Wang Qiu'er and Wang Dong'er from the fourth-floor girls' dormitory to go shopping at the school gate together.

As for how he called, he obviously asked a girl to help him call; he wouldn't dare to barge directly into the girls' dormitory on the fourth floor, he didn't want to get himself into trouble.

The three of them left the academy and arrived at the East Gate, where there were no more students registering.

Numerous vendors lined both sides of the main road outside the East Gate. They sold everything imaginable, a dazzling array of goods. However, the largest number of vendors sold various kinds of food, their cries of hawking their wares filling the air.

Clearly, they were all gathered here to do business with the Shrek Academy students.

The three of them quickly found Huo Yuhao's stall, but Tang Ya was nowhere to be seen, so she must have run away.

"Yuhao, I brought Wang Qiu'er and Wang Dong'er to support you. Give us three grilled fish."

Ji Lin handed over fifteen copper soul coins, which Huo Yuhao accepted; he did need money to make a living.

It must be said that Huo Yuhao's grilled fish skills are truly exceptional; in no time, a rich aroma wafted out.

Smelling the aroma, Wang Dong'er, who had been indifferent, changed her attitude and stared intently at the grilled fish. Even the usually taciturn Wang Qiu'er was drawn to the attention.

Soon, students attracted by the aroma lined up behind the three.

Huo Yuhao handed the grilled fish to the three of them, who then stepped aside to make room for the people queuing behind them.

The golden-brown grilled fish still had a faint sheen of oil, and a rich aroma wafted from its belly. When your teeth touched the grilled fish, it even made a slight crunching sound; the skin was completely crispy yet not burnt at all. Beneath the crispy skin lay tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned fish meat.

With just one bite, Wang Dong'er's eyes widened. Forgetting to praise it, she finished the whole fish in a few bites.

"Delicious, so delicious! How can there be such delicious grilled fish?" Even Wang Dong'er, who had been used to eating delicacies since childhood, praised it highly, let alone Wang Qiu'er, who rarely ate human food.

"Yes, it's really delicious. I can come here often in the future."

Clearly, Wang Qiu'er was captivated by the taste of the grilled fish and wanted to eat it every day.

"The taste is truly exceptional. Let's come and buy a grilled fish every day from now on, it'll be a way of supporting Yuhao's business."

Even Ji Lin, who grew up eating the delicacies of the Star Luo royal family's chefs, couldn't find a single fault with the taste of this grilled fish. No wonder it was the grilled fish of the Little Huo who dominated the original work; no one could resist it.

"Okay, okay."

Wang Dong'er quickly clapped her hands in agreement.
