Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

Chapter 24: Different Treatment for Two Generations of Evil Fire

Every organization exists to serve those in power.

Just like Shrek Academy has outer and inner courts, the outer court is like an adopted child, only able to watch enviously as the inner court students enjoy more resources.

And within the inner court, there are seven special individuals known as the Shrek Seven Devils, representing absolute glory.

But so what?

Aren't they still just mules toiling for the academy's higher-ups?

The so-called glory is nothing more than a scheme by those in power to motivate their subordinates.

In essence, it's just an illusory bubble, utterly useless!

Not far away, Zhou Yi stood straight with her hands behind her back, her gaze sweeping over the students, finally settling on Huo Yuhao.

In just two short training sessions, she had already noticed something.

The iron clothing weight training was already quite arduous for these children.

Most students were exhausted or even faint after class.

The benefit of such training was that the cultivation effect was more significant after the soul power was exhausted compared to usual, and it also had the effect of strengthening the body.

But Huo Yuhao was different.

Although he didn't deliberately show it, and his results were always unremarkable, Zhou Yi keenly noticed that this kind of training didn't pose a challenge to Huo Yuhao at all.

In other words, her training didn't bring much help to Huo Yuhao.

In that case, there was only one explanation: Huo Yuhao's physical fitness had already been strengthened to a considerable level.

Zhou Yi didn't increase Huo Yuhao's training, mainly because this kind of exercise was only for the initial stage of cultivation, and Huo Yuhao was clearly the type with a solid foundation.

Then, Zhou Yi's gaze turned to Wang Dong, who was at the forefront of the team.

It had to be said that this year's freshmen had brought her great surprises.

Even with her discerning eyes, she couldn't find any faults, and she secretly rejoiced that she had been demoted.

Of course, she wouldn't reveal these feelings, lest these children develop arrogance.

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, five days had gone by.

On this day, the tranquility of the academy was broken.

"Did you hear? Someone died at the South Square!"

"They were just saying in the dormitory that four freshmen were burned into mummies, a truly horrific sight!

And two sixth-grade seniors were seriously injured and have been sent to the infirmary."

"Shhh, keep your voices down.

I heard that the murderer is an inner court student with a very powerful background.

Even the Sea God Pavilion elders have been alarmed!"

"Yeah, I heard that two of the four dead were freshmen in Old Zhou's class.

Who doesn't know Old Zhou's temper?

She immediately made a scene in the inner court after the incident, but look now, the academy hasn't offered any explanation, not even a ripple.

"Heh heh, isn't it obvious?

The inner court are the direct descendants, and we're just adopted children.

Compared to them, our lives are cheap!"

"Shhh, be careful what you say.

It's enough for us to know some things, but we can't talk nonsense, or we might bring disaster upon ourselves!"

The last person to speak looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was paying attention to them.

The others also fell silent after hearing what he said.

Involving the inner court and the Sea God Pavilion was not something they could gossip about casually, and none of them wanted to be accused of spreading rumors and slandering the academy.

Huo Yuhao slowly walked out of the academy, taking in all the conversations of the people behind him.

This incident was also recorded in the original work, but it seemed that Dai Yuhao and Wang Dong were the ones attacked in the original work.

If it hadn't been for Tianmeng Iceworm's rescue, Dai Yuhao would have probably died on the spot.

As for Wang Dong, of course, she would be fine.

Her father was a God-King, how could he not give his daughter a life-saving trump card?

In this life, Huo Yuhao's relationship with Wang Dong was still relatively strained, and they didn't wander around the lake, so the victims were someone else.

As for the murderer, she was indeed not simple: Ma Xiaotao, the current Shrek Academy Dean's personal disciple, a rare and outstanding genius in Shrek Academy's history.

Moreover, Ma Xiaotao's background was also not simple.

Rumor has it that her ancestor was Ma Hongjun, one of the first generation Shrek Seven Devils, the guy who later became the Phoenix God.

Ma Hongjun, in his youth, was known as the Evil Fire Chicken.

He and his good brother Dai Mubai, known as the Peerless Lecher, often roamed the brothels.

Ma Xiaotao's lineage was the product of his affairs outside.

Of course, this wasn't entirely Ma Hongjun's fault.

Part of the reason was because of his Evil Fire Phoenix martial soul.

Although it was exceptionally powerful, it also had a very obvious flaw, which was the evil fire.

Ma Hongjun constantly sought women, partly to dissipate the evil fire.

In Ma Xiaotao's generation, the defects of the Evil Fire Phoenix martial soul were also exposed.

It was precisely because Ma Xiaotao lost her mind due to the outbreak of evil fire that she brutally attacked the new students.

However, Ma Xiaotao was relatively lucky.

Her teacher was still somewhat capable, unlike Flander, who took his disciples to brothels.

Getting off topic, putting aside the excess, Huo Yuhao was thinking that perhaps he could use Ma Xiaotao to build a good relationship with Shrek Academy in the future, because the second ice-type martial soul that Tianmeng Iceworm brought him was of high enough grade to suppress the evil fire in Ma Xiaotao's body.

The act that should be done still had to be done.

There was no way around it, Huo Yuhao was too weak now and could only lie low.

Whether it was a coincidence or not, there were indeed many interesting things happening at Shrek Academy today.

At the entrance of the academy, a graceful young woman was stopped in her tracks.

This young woman had a shapely figure, wearing a purple school uniform, with wavy golden hair draped behind her.

Compared to her, the other girls around her paled in comparison.

And the young man blocking her path was wearing a Shrek black school uniform, which meant that he was at least a fifth-grade student.

Moreover, Huo Yuhao was familiar with both of these people: Jiang Nannan and her number one simp, Xu Sanshi.

However, the atmosphere between the two was not harmonious at this time.

Jiang Nannan had a cold and disgusted expression, while Xu Sanshi was clearly extremely agitated, with an angry expression.

And on the ground beside him, a bouquet of fresh roses was thrown.

"Why, Jiang Nannan, where exactly am I not good enough?

Tell me what you want!

I did do some wrong things, but don't I even have a chance to change?"

"What good are you?

You went to that kind of place at such a young age.

Whether you change or not has nothing to do with me.

I only ask that you stop disturbing my life."

After saying that, Jiang Nannan ignored Xu Sanshi and turned back to the academy.

Xu Sanshi, on the other side, seemed to have been hit where it hurt.

He stared blankly at Jiang Nannan's receding figure, his expression indescribably lonely, with a hint of regret.

Some of the onlookers nearby whispered, pointing and gossiping about the two.

From the few words they had heard, people guessed that the two had some kind of interaction before, and it didn't seem to be anything glorious, otherwise the two wouldn't be so secretive.

As for what exactly happened, probably only they themselves knew.

Seems like I missed something.

The corners of Huo Yuhao's mouth slightly turned up, he thought of the embarrassing things that the two were trying so hard to hide.

It was said that when Xu Sanshi was twelve years old, the Black Tortoise bloodline in his family's martial soul needed to be awakened, and the awakening of their family's martial soul required combining with a virgin to be fully awakened.

What a breeding turtle.

Jiang Nannan's mother was ill, and her family was very poor.

The butler of Xu Sanshi's family discovered Jiang Nannan, and knowing Xu Sanshi's nature, he catered to his preferences, and after repeatedly spending money, he finally brought Jiang Nannan over to Xu Sanshi.
