This is how Huo Yuhao and Xu Jiujiu met.
Afterwards, Princess Jiujiu provided him with a lot of help. And with her mediation, the Duchess's hostility towards Huo Yuhao also weakened a lot, at least on the surface.
Going to Xingluo Royal Academy is also a way out.
Huo Yuhao said: "Let's talk about it later. What is the third way?"
Duke Baihu said: "Shrek Academy!"
Shrek Academy?
Hearing this term, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but frown slightly.
This is a holy place in the hearts of all young soul masters on the continent, and can be called the number one academy on the continent.
The powerful resources and terrifying strength attracted young spirit masters from all over the continent.
It has a history of ten thousand years since its establishment, and has cultivated countless strong people over the long years. Countless of the strongest Titled Douluo and soul masters were born here.
And Shrek Academy has even produced a level above Titled Douluo - God!
The story of Sea God Tang San and the original Shrek Seven Devils is widely circulated on the mainland.
Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "You think too highly of me. How can I deserve to go to Shrek Academy?"
It's not that he doesn't know the admission requirements of Shrek Academy.
In addition to the usual introduction and letter of recommendation, there are only two hard requirements for new students:
One is not more than twelve years old,
Second, the soul power cannot be lower than level fifteen.
The teaching purpose of Shrek Academy is to cultivate monsters!
Huo Yuhao is eleven years old this year, but his soul power is only level ten, which does not meet the admission requirements at all.
"this is for you."
The Duke of White Tiger took out a stack of documents, which were beautifully and tightly packed so that they would not get wet by wind and rain.
“What is this?” Huo Yuhao took the file bag without opening it.
"This is the special admission certificate of Shrek Academy and the letters of introduction from the Duke's Mansion and Xingluo City."
Duke Baihu explained: "We, the Baihu lineage, have a long history with Shrek Academy. Every year they give the Duke's Mansion a special admission quota for admission without examination. With this quota, you can report to the admissions office and be admitted."
“Through the back door…” Huo Yuhao smiled.
He had heard of this privilege of the Duke's Palace, but rarely used it.
His elder brother Dai Yueheng has been studying at Shrek for several years, and his younger brother Dai Huabin will also be able to enroll successfully this year if nothing goes wrong.
With their qualifications, they don’t even need this quota!
In previous years, the Duke's Mansion would use this quota to exchange favors with other nobles, but this year, Duke White Tiger kept it and used it on Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao felt complicated.
To be honest, he didn't really want to accept Dai Hao's help.
Now he wanted to sever the ties with the Duke's Mansion as cleanly as possible.
But after thinking it over again and again, he accepted it.
This should be the first time in his memory that Dai Hao helped someone to get through the back door.
"You didn't mention our relationship in the letter, right?" Huo Yuhao asked.
"No." Duke Baihu shook his head. "I wrote in the letter that you are the orphan of a soldier who died in my army. This quota is used to provide relief to the soldiers."
“That’s quite thoughtful.” Huo Yuhao shrugged and put away the documents. “Okay, if that’s the case, then I’ll go take a look at this Shrek Academy.”
Duke Baihu warned: "Shrek Academy has very high requirements for students, and countless students drop out every year, but I believe in you."
He looked at Huo Yuhao with firm eyes.
This young man possesses a perseverance and resilience that far exceeds that of ordinary people.
However, Huo Yuhao said coldly: “Just quit. Do you think you can’t survive if you drop out of school?”
Huo Yuhao's tenacity is only revealed in front of things he cares about. As for other things, he always maintains an indifferent attitude.
"When are we going to hunt for spirit rings?" Duke White Tiger asked again, "Spiritual attribute spirit beasts are very rare. You can go find a suitable ice attribute spirit beast first. I can arrange it..."
“No need, I will deal with the spirit ring myself.” Huo Yuhao said decisively, “You don’t have to worry about me anymore.”
Duke White Tiger opened his mouth but said nothing.
Every time a soul master reaches ten levels, he must hunt soul beasts to obtain a soul ring before he can enter the next level. Soul rings can bring soul skills, so naturally they must be as powerful as possible.
For Yuhao, how could he possibly hunt for a soul ring of sufficient quality by himself?
“Although my martial soul is my eyes, I’m not that smart, and the pronunciation of ‘spiritual eyes’ is not smooth.” Huo Yuhao muttered to himself in front of the tombstone, “Do you think ‘demon eyes’ sounds cooler?”
His tone was serious, as if he was really discussing something with the deceased Huo Yuner.
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent~"
At this time, Huo Yuhao's tone was relaxed and playful, and his expression was also a casual smile.
Duke Baihu sighed softly. He knew in his heart that this child was far more mature than an ordinary person, which was inconsistent with his appearance.
Sa——
The rain suddenly got heavier again, and it looked like there would be a downpour that wouldn't end any time soon.
"I'm leaving." Huo Yuhao straightened his clothes.
Duke Baihu knew that he was not only leaving here, but also leaving the Duke's Mansion.
He couldn't help but feel sad and reluctant. Not only did he feel guilty, but as a soldier, he admired Huo Yuhao's determination and inner strength.
Unfortunately, the fragile connection between him and Huo Yuhao was completely dependent on the dead Huo Yun'er.
Duke Baihu finally reminded: "When you go to Shrek Academy, if you have any difficulties, you can find Hua Bin and Yue Heng. After all, you share the same blood."
"Don't worry, our relationship is better than you think."
During the conversation, Huo Yuhao had already taken a few steps.
Duke Baihu looked at the child's back, feeling melancholy in his heart, and shouted loudly: "You are still young, you must walk the future path well!"
Huo Yuhao stopped, paused for two seconds, and continued walking forward.
"I am still young!"
“But I already know what life is!”
"We will never meet again, Lord Duke of White Tiger!"
After hearing Huo Yuhao’s farewell, Duke White Tiger fell silent. He wanted to give some final instructions, but romantic relationships did not seem to be his forte.
His thousands of words finally turned into one sentence.
"Yuhao, take care of yourself and don't catch a cold."
Huo Yuhao stopped again. He smiled vaguely, then shook his head helplessly and changed his words:
"See you again by fate!"
After saying this, his figure slowly disappeared in the rain.
Duke White Tiger watched him leave, sighed, and looked at the tombstone with a sad and complicated expression.
Chapter 5: Huo Yuhao, the BBQ Master
A few months later.
Beside a small stream not far from the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, a young man was grilling the herring in his hand with a leisurely look on his face.
He stood in front of the fire, holding a wooden stick with grilled fish on it in each hand, which was suspended over the fire and slowly turning. His childish face was showing a growing heroic spirit.
The flames leaped and the rising heat ruffled his blue bangs, but there was not a drop of sweat on his forehead.
His clothes were simple, a thin short-sleeved shirt and long pants. He looked very casual, but the pattern on the short-sleeved shirt was not simple at all.
On the black fabric, a white tiger with a pale forehead and drooping eyes stretched from his back to his left shoulder, with its sharp claws stretched out and its fangs exposed.
The tiger with over-the-shoulder shoulders has a ferocious look on its face, as if it is about to come down the mountain to attack people.
The boy's posture was leisurely and his movements were skillful. His slightly shining crystal blue eyes were full of confidence and assurance.
He was muttering to himself while grilling the fish.
"Control the heat and heat evenly."
"A small fire produces oil, and a large fire changes the color."
"Finally, sprinkle a handful of Haoge's secret seasoning on it, and the aroma will come right up."
The grilled fish, which was already a little brown, became even more fragrant after being sprinkled with the mysterious powder.
The boy boasted with satisfaction.
"Brother Hao, Brother Hao, the best at barbecue."
"As expected of the founder and CEO of Xingluo's No. 1 BBQ restaurant~"
The young man was none other than Huo Yuhao, who had just left the Duke's Mansion. He was now on his way to the Star Dou Great Forest to find his first spirit ring and was taking a short break.
After leaving Xingluo City, he was not in a hurry to travel. He walked and stopped, slowly moving towards the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest.
He has no shortage of money.
He looked down upon the few gold coins given by the Duke's Mansion, as his main income came from his own barbecue restaurant.
This barbecue restaurant is very special, not only does it taste good, but it also has a big "backstage".
Princess Xu Jiujiu of the Xingluo royal family holds 50% of the shares. As for the remaining 50%, it is naturally in the hands of Huo Yuhao.
The barbecue here is extremely delicious, even better than many big restaurants.
Affordable, delicious and inexpensive...For various reasons, barbecue restaurants are always crowded with people and make a lot of money every day.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao is not short of money.
