Douluo Continent: Reborn as Yuhao, they all have ulterior motives.

Chapter 72 Some Things Not to Do

Dai Huabin was also clapping, and his gaze toward Zhang Lexuan, like that of many male trainees, contained a barely perceptible intensity.

Transferring classes?

What kind of class transfer is this?!

With a teacher like that, he would accept being in the same class as Huo Yuhao.

Such a young Soul Douluo is definitely a genius among geniuses in the inner academy. If he can get along well with Zhang Lexuan, then he will not need to be afraid of Huo Yuhao in the academy.

"Alright, alright."

Zhang Lexuan smiled and raised her hand to quiet everyone down. "Everyone, please be quiet. Let's begin class."

As the applause gradually subsided, she glanced at Huo Yuhao and spoke with a meaningful look.

"Thanks to something I learned from a friend, we're not going to study theory in the first class of the semester, we're just here to chat."

Although everyone was surprised, Zhang Lexuan's Soul Douluo cultivation level had shocked them enough that no one questioned this strange teaching method, and they all waited quietly for what would happen next.

As for the topics of conversation

Zhang Lexuan thought for a moment, then said with a smile, "Let's talk about everyone's aspirations."

ambition?

Seeing the confusion on everyone's faces, Zhang Lexuan patiently explained.

"Just like life ideals, although everyone wants to gain power and become stronger, the things they want to do after becoming stronger are not the same."

"Ultimately, why did you become stronger? And what do you want to do after gaining that power?"

The freshmen lowered their heads, seemingly understanding but not quite, most of them looking like they were seriously thinking, and didn't notice the silent exchange between Zhang Lexuan and Huo Yuhao.

Zhang Lexuan looked at Huo Yuhao and raised her eyebrows with a smug expression.

—How was it? My first time as a teacher, I did pretty well, right?

Huo Yuhao could hardly contain his amusement and nodded readily in agreement.

—Amazing!

Zhang Lexuan's face immediately darkened, and she raised her eyebrows again.

—You don't seem very sincere! Why don't you go first, Yuhao?

"No, Sister Lexuan, please spare me."

Seeing Huo Yuhao's pained and pleading expression, Zhang Lexuan couldn't help but burst into laughter. Her melodious laughter immediately drew puzzled glances from everyone.

"Cough cough."

Just like being caught daydreaming in class, Zhang Lexuan couldn't help but blush. She quickly coughed twice to ease the embarrassment, glared at Huo Yuhao, and then solemnly scanned everyone around her.

"Who wants to be the first to speak?"

After a brief silence, Dai Huabin hesitantly raised his hand. After receiving a nod from Zhang Lexuan, he stood up, his face revealing an indescribable sense of pride.

"My father followed my grandfather to the battlefield at the age of thirteen. He started as a soldier, went through thousands of battles, and eventually climbed to the position of legion commander. Finally, he was appointed as the legion commander of the Central Legion of the Western Group Army of the Star Luo Empire."

"Therefore, I hope that when I become strong, I can join the army like my father, achieve great deeds, become a legion leader, and a hero revered by countless people of the Star Luo Empire!"

His bold words echoed in the classroom, and his firm and proud expression immediately drew admiration from many of the female students present.

Although there is still a considerable difference in appearance compared to Huo Yuhao, Dai Huabin is definitely handsome compared to ordinary people.

Most importantly, the other party seems to have a very powerful background!

Zhu Lu naturally recognized Dai Huabin as the boy who had been crippled by Huo Yuhao.

For some reason, the image of the other person being rescued in the woods, crying and shouting "Don't kill me!" inexplicably popped into my mind.

It was because she witnessed this scene that her mother concluded that Dai Huabin's mental problems were beyond repair and that he would never become a strong person in the future, so she never brought her to see Dai Huabin again.

Later, she only occasionally heard her mother mention that the Duchess had gone to great lengths to seek help from others regarding Dai Huabin's matter.

Five years have passed, and it seems that the other party's situation has improved quite a bit?

Thinking of this, she subconsciously glanced at Huo Yuhao behind her, her teeth biting her lower lip lightly.

It's been five years since I last saw him. Has he become even more amazing?

"That's a pretty good idea."

Zhang Lexuan smiled and nodded, but aside from that word of encouragement, she didn't react at all, as if she had no interest in his background as a duke of the Star Luo Empire. She gestured for him to sit down while looking at the others.

"Does anyone else want to say something?"

With Dai Huabin taking the lead, more and more people expressed their thoughts. Some were motivated by fame like Dai Huabin, some by money and power, and others by a desire to prolong their lives.

The students, who fell in love with the beautiful homeroom teacher at first sight, racked their brains to come up with some answers that they thought were novel, hoping to elicit a different reaction from Zhang Lexuan and attract her attention.

However, no matter what everyone said, Zhang Lexuan would just nod politely and offer encouragement, like a patient elder watching them freely talk about their future.

Finally, after listening to one student's answer, Zhang Lexuan's gaze fell on Huo Yuhao, and she asked with a strange smile.

"Yuhao, would you be interested in sharing your thoughts?"

Upon hearing this, the students paused slightly.

This was the first time Zhang Lexuan had proactively called on a student to answer a question, and she had called out the student's name without the student introducing themselves.

Just as they were wondering which guy had caught the beautiful homeroom teacher's attention, Huo Yuhao stood up slowly, as if revealing the answer.

"My purpose in becoming stronger."

Meeting Zhang Lexuan's gaze, which seemed to expect him to give a different answer, Huo Yuhao pursed his lips, pondered for a moment, and then gave his answer.

"It's so that I can freely choose the life I want."

"Oh?"

Hearing this answer, which was similar to that of the previous students, Zhang Lexuan raised an eyebrow. She did not smile and nod as she did with the other students, and ignored the strange looks from the others who were looking at the two of them. She smiled and asked again.

"So, you're also the kind of person who wants to become stronger so you can do whatever you want?"

"I guess so."

Recalling everything that happened in his past life, Huo Yuhao lowered his eyes, and his gentle voice resounded in everyone's ears.

"But I think freedom is not about doing whatever you want, but about knowing what not to do."

"It's not about being able to do whatever you want, but about being able to choose not to do what you don't want to do."

"Don't do something you don't want to do, instead of being forced to do it by reality."

Huo Yuhao paused for a moment, then spoke softly.

"This is the freedom I want."

As the words fell, the classroom fell silent for a moment. Sensing something was wrong, Dai Huabin subconsciously looked at Zhang Lexuan.

He was taken aback when he saw Zhang Lexuan's stunned expression.

Immediately afterwards, an emotion called jealousy spread wildly in his heart.

He silently lowered his head, his fists clenched tightly, seemingly oblivious to the fact that his nails dug deep into his flesh.
