If it weren't to enter the academy to find his future "wife," Huo Yuhao would have definitely turned and left right now without staying for a single second.
Seeing that Huo Yuhao hadn't left but was instead staring intently at him, the student behind the desk was about to drive away this "undiscerning" kid again.
However, before the words could leave his mouth, his pupils suddenly contracted!
A thick aura rose from this seemingly ordinary youth without any warning!
Following that, a scene appeared that made the student's heart almost stop beating.
Purple, purple, black, black!
Four shimmering spirit rings rose one by one from beneath the youth's feet, rhythmically moving!
Huo Yuhao didn't reveal his true spirit ring colors, but a configuration like two purple and two black was already shocking enough.
He had originally thought of showing his talent and strength so that he could be specially recruited into Shrek Academy without a recommendation letter.
But he didn't expect the student in front of him to be so shocked that he didn't immediately contact the teachers to say he had found a super Genius; his reaction was completely outside Huo Yuhao's expectations.
The shock on his face only lasted for a moment before he stood up from his chair with a "thud," pointing at Huo Yuhao and shouting, "You... what are you trying to do?! Do you dare to cause trouble in front of Shrek Academy?!"
This bizarre train of thought left even Huo Yuhao stunned for a moment.
Just as he was about to explain, a swift whistling sound rang out, and a figure shot over like an arrow from not far away, instantly landing between Huo Yuhao and that yellow-clothed student.
The newcomer was a youth who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a purple school uniform, clearly a student from a higher grade.
This purple-clothed student's gaze immediately fell upon the two purple and two black spirit rings beneath Huo Yuhao's feet; his heart skipped a beat, and an undisguisable look of horror flashed through his eyes.
But horror aside, he bore the responsibility of maintaining order, and his primary task was to control the situation.
Forcing himself to remain calm, he looked at Huo Yuhao with a serious expression, his voice deliberately low and powerful, carrying a warning.
"Who are you? You must not be presumptuous outside Shrek Academy. Retreat at once!"
With his appearance and sharp shout, many surrounding students also reacted quickly, faintly closing in from all directions.
Huo Yuhao had been Cultivating the Body Sect's secret methods since childhood; although he was only eleven years old, he was tall and upright, looking even more robust than an ordinary thirteen or fourteen-year-old youth.
Perhaps it was because of this that these confused students all thought he was there to cause trouble.
Looking at the young faces around him filled with vigilance and even hostility, Huo Yuhao was first taken aback, and then a sense of absurdity welled up in his heart.
He laughed out of sheer anger, barely suppressing the urge to give each of them a Spiritual Impact, and said, "I'm here to register."
The purple-clothed student leading the group opposite him was named Duan Lang, a fourth-year student of the Outer Court.
Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Duan Lang was just about to offer some comfort before making a decision.
However, at that moment, a voice rang out directly in his mind without warning: "Attack, give him a test."
Duan Lang's whole body shook; he was all too familiar with this voice—it was the Director of Teaching of the Outer Court, Director Du Weilin!
Two yellow and two purple, four standard best-configuration spirit rings suddenly rose from beneath his feet.
Then, a blood-red longsword Spirit that radiated a sharp, murderous aura instantly condensed in his hand!
Without any unnecessary words, Duan Lang moved, the blood-colored longsword in his hand like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, creating a shrill whistling sound as it stabbed directly towards Huo Yuhao's chest!
Although this strike wasn't at full strength, its speed was extremely fast and its angle was tricky; he was clearly playing for real, intending to force out the opponent's true reactions and strength.
Duan Lang's sudden violent attack caused a chorus of low exclamations from the surroundings.
However... not even a ripple appeared in Huo Yuhao's eyes.
With a wave of his right hand, a silver-bright fifth-level melee Soul tool longsword was already in his hand!
Facing the rapidly stabbing blood-colored sword tip, Huo Yuhao didn't retreat but advanced, casually thrusting the soul tool longsword forward.
"Clang!"
A crisp sound of clashing metal exploded!
The silver-bright blade blocked the blood-red longsword's point of force with incomparable precision; with a clever pull, he easily parried the sharp thrust.
And that wasn't all!
Huo Yuhao's wrist flicked, and the parried longsword followed the momentum to trace a strange arc.
The sword moved with his body, and he advanced with the sword; the silver-bright sword tip was like a maggot on a bone, using the force of the parry to change Moves like lightning, turning into a cold flash of light that wiped straight toward Duan Lang's defenseless throat!
The transition of Moves was as smooth as flowing water, and the counterattack was ruthless and precise; his swordplay over the past year or so hadn't been practiced in vain.
Duan Lang turned pale with fright; he never expected the opponent to not only have such incredible reactions and clever parries but also such a sharp and lethal counterattack!
In his haste, he could even feel the bone-chilling coldness brought by the sword tip aimed at his throat, scaring him until his Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering as he hurriedly exerted force with his feet and retreated violently!
Seeing this, the other Shrek students were all horrified.
For a moment, the light of Spirit possession lit up one after another; it looked like they were about to launch an unregulated group attack on the youth standing with his sword!
"Hmph!"
Facing the Shrek students who were about to surround and attack him, Huo Yuhao let out a cold snort from his nose.
Even a clay man has three parts of anger, let alone him?
Since the other party attacked without distinguishing right from wrong, he would let them witness what a true gap in strength was!
With a slight thought, his vast and majestic mental force was like a dormant deep sea suddenly whipping up a wild storm, erupting with a bang!
Under his control, that vast mental force instantly split into dozens or even hundreds of needles as fine as ox hair, "stabbing" into the Spiritual Sea of these surrounding Shrek students with incomparable precision!
"Ah!"
"Ugh, ah!"
Screams rang out almost simultaneously, one after another!
The students who were preparing to attack Huo Yuhao felt as if red-hot steel needles had been violently driven into their minds, and their Spirit possession states were instantly interrupted.
One by one, they clutched their heads, staggering back with pale faces; some even crouched on the ground in pain, completely losing their combat effectiveness.
"Who is it? How dare you be so presumptuous in front of Shrek Academy?!"
A cold female voice filled with shock and anger suddenly came from not far behind him.
Huo Yuhao turned to look and saw a young woman of about seventeen or eighteen years old walking quickly from behind.
She wore a water-blue long dress, well-tailored to perfectly outline her graceful figure.
Her face was exceptionally beautiful, with eyebrows like distant mountains and eyes like cold stars, but at this moment, that exquisite face was covered with a layer of frost-like coldness.
Seeing this expression of hers, the first thing that flashed through Huo Yuhao's mind was actually his teacher from Ten Thousand Years later, who was equally ice-cold—Wu Changkong.
This young woman's temperament actually bore a few similarities to Teacher Wu.
Around the young woman, five spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and one black—were rhythmically moving; she was actually a Spirit King!
The young woman's first spirit ring shone brightly as she raised her delicate hand; a magnificent staff, two meters long and condensed entirely from translucent ice crystals, appeared out of thin air and was held firmly in her hand.
The moment the staff appeared, the surrounding air temperature seemed to be instantly sucked away, dropping by more than ten degrees, and a thin layer of white frost even condensed on the ground.
A cold light flashed in her eyes, and she pointed the ice crystal staff toward Huo Yuhao from a distance!
The sky seemed to be tinted by that ice-blue radiance, and a visible, piercing cold current swept toward Huo Yuhao!
Wherever it passed, the air made faint cracking sounds of freezing.
An ice-attribute Spirit Master?
Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow, not panicking.
Under his Mental Detection, he had long ago discovered two figures standing tall upon the high city walls of Shrek City not far away!
One of them had Spirit Power as vast as the sea and should be at the Spirit Douluo level.
While the other person's aura was even more profound and unpredictable, like a mountain hidden in the clouds; they were definitely a Titled Douluo without a doubt!
Experts who could appear here were naturally the teachers of the Shrek students.
They were looking down from above, paying attention to this conflict below.
However, they were just watching, with no intention of stepping in to stop it.
A sharp light flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes as he understood, and then a hint of coldness welled up in his heart.
Since you want to watch the show and test me... he sneered inwardly, "Then I'll let you... see your fill!"
