But this time Huo Yuhao was not being harsh. He genuinely thought the dish tasted just average.
He chewed the stew viciously, lamenting that the academy had wasted such good ingredients.
It doesn't require any advanced skills. Just add a fire and the meat can be cooked into a delicacy.
Even though it's not barbecue, he is still confident that he can make this dish even more delicious.
Huo Yuhao is not only good at grilling, he is also a chef who is proficient in frying, stir-frying, and cooking all kinds of banquets.
However, he still chose barbecue as his main business. The first reason is that barbecue food can be prepared quickly, taught quickly, and learned quickly, and he can make money much faster than those in regular restaurants and hotels.
The second point is that when he is barbecuing, his mental strength and ice martial soul will be cultivated faster.
Zhou Yi asked: "Huo Yuhao, don't you want to ask why I suddenly invited you to dinner today?"
Huo Yuhao said calmly: "If someone shows kindness to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief."
Zhou Yi: “…”
She felt her blood pressure rising, so she suppressed her anger, gritted her teeth, and then let out a long sigh.
"Huo Yuhao, Teacher Zhou wants to talk to you."
"Ok?"
Huo Yuhao was a little surprised that Zhou Yi, who was always strict, would speak so earnestly.
“Teacher Zhou, please speak.” Huo Yuhao’s tone became a little more respectful.
Zhou Yi said hopefully: "I hope you can go all out in this elimination match and lead Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao to compete for the championship. I have already regarded you as the seed team of our class in my heart."
Huo Yuhao frowned, took a sip of the soup and said, “Teacher Zhou, you should know that I don’t care about my ranking. If I encounter an enemy that is too strong, I might just admit defeat knowing that I can’t win.”
Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao fell silent upon hearing this.
Wang Dong said: "Yuhao, why don't you care about the ranking? Isn't it an honor for us to work together to defeat all opponents and compete for the championship?"
“Oh, vanity.” Huo Yuhao was not moved at all. “Then tell me, why do we have to fight for the championship?”
"This... Is there any need to ask this? Isn't it natural to go all out to fight for first place?"
“I didn’t see that.” Huo Yuhao retorted expressionlessly, “In my opinion, being aggressive and fighting to be number one is a very childish and boring behavior.”
"You won first place, did you do it just to show off in front of others?"
Wang Dong blurted out: "Of course not!"
Huo Yuhao asked, "Then why are you competing for first place?"
"me……"
Wang Dong said that he was doing it for the championship, but it was just out of the young man's competitive spirit. If you really asked him, he couldn't come up with a reason.
Zhou Yi sighed and said, "Huo Yuhao, I'm very curious about what you've experienced that made you so mature. You're young, but you don't look like a teenager at all."
She thought for a moment and added, "Besides making me angry..."
Wang Dong: "..."
Xiao Xiao: "..."
“Whether a person is mature or not is not determined by how old he is, but by what he has experienced.” Huo Yuhao said calmly with a deep expression.
Zhou Yi was silent for a while, then said, “Huo Yuhao, after I went back yesterday, I carefully checked your admission information again. I sincerely hope that you can go all out and win the championship.”
"why?"
"Because as long as you get into the top four, you will be rewarded with the status of core disciples of the outer courtyard. And if you win the championship, the academy will also have additional generous rewards. Do you know what the status of core disciples means?"
"I don't know, what does it mean?"
"It means that if nothing unexpected happens, you will definitely be able to enter the inner courtyard in the future."
"Inner Courtyard?!"
Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were both surprised.
Shrek Academy attaches completely different importance to the outer college and the inner college. Among the talented students in the outer college, only a small number of monsters among monsters are qualified to enter the inner college.
It can be said that the inner courtyard is the real Shrek Academy.
Zhou Yi said with some regret: "Back then, I also graduated from the Outer College with excellent grades, but I still didn't qualify to enter the Inner College, so I hope that my students can seize the opportunity that is in front of them."
Huo Yuhao wanted to speak again, but Zhou Yi interrupted him.
"Huo Yuhao!"
"I know you have a bad background and a low level of soul power, but you have extraordinary talents in other aspects. You should try to seize every opportunity to change your destiny instead of just muddling through and squandering your talents."
"If you are not born a noble, then use your own strength to become a noble!"
Seeing that Huo Yuhao was still silent, Zhou Yi sighed and said, “Even if it’s not for your own future, you should consider Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao. After all, you are a team.”
Huo Yuhao remained silent, seemingly lost in thought. After a moment, he spoke coldly.
"Teacher Zhou, I will not become a noble, and this world does not need nobles!"
"However, I will lead them to win first place in this competition."
"Really?"
Zhou Yi's pretty face was filled with joy, and she was secretly delighted. She was not doing this for her own teaching results, but out of consideration for this child with a tragic life experience, and she couldn't bear to see him content with mediocrity.
During the past three months, she had gotten to know Huo Yuhao's temper. Although Huo Yuhao said that he didn't care about many things, he actually had a strong sense of responsibility.
Telling him that it's for your own benefit is basically useless, but if you tell him that it's for other people, that will most likely convince him.
Huo Yuhao noticed the joy in Zhou Yi’s eyes and knew that she was trying to provoke him, but he didn’t care.
No matter what the reason, as long as it is a promise he made, he will do his best to fulfill it. If it is a promise against his will, no amount of coercion or inducement will make him say it.
Hearing what the squad leader said, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were stunned at first, and then burst into surprise.
Is that squad leader who has always been frivolous finally going to be serious?
Tian Meng watched everything outside and asked in confusion: "Yuhao, why did you suddenly change?"
Huo Yuhao said calmly: “Teacher Zhou is right. I am not only doing this for myself, but also for the others around me. I am just helping Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao. And…”
"Entering the inner courtyard, gaining more resources, the chance of becoming a god will be greater, right?"
"I told you I would help you become a god!"
Chapter 66: Self-Martial Soul Fusion Technique
The afternoon round of 32 to 16 match soon arrived.
Among the ten freshman classes in total, six teams from Freshman Class 1 entered the top 32, making it the best performing freshman class.
But none of this has anything to do with Huo Yuhao. No matter who stands in his way next, he will defeat the other person.
For situations that do not involve his own interests, he can certainly give them up without caring, but if he wants to compete for the few resources, he will have to rely on his own abilities.
"Students from both sides report their names!"
Six students from both sides entered the venue and took their positions.
The three opponents were all girls, with delicate features and tall figures. The three of them formed a triangle formation with two in front and one behind.
On the front right is a girl with short red hair. She looks arrogant and cold, standing straight to protect the girl behind her. On her left is a girl with long light green hair and gentle features, looking lovable.
Behind them was a girl with neat short golden hair. She was very tall, even taller than Wang Dong.
The red-haired girl crossed her arms and proudly said, "Freshman Class Nine, Wu Feng, Level 24 Strong Attack Spirit Master."
Her high-profile self-introduction caused some dissatisfaction among the green-haired girl next to her. The latter glanced at the red-haired girl with some anger, but still said softly: "Freshman Class 9, Nanmen Yuner, Level 24 Agility Attack Spirit Master."
Finally, the blonde girl said calmly, "Freshman Class Nine, Ning Tian, Level 31 Auxiliary Weapon Soul Master."
Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were both shocked when they heard this.
A level 31 Soul Master? Among all the teams, except for Dai Huabin's group, they were the only two teams led by Soul Masters?
Seeing the two people's dazed expressions, Huo Yuhao sneered disdainfully: "A mere Soul Master scared you so much, you are still hanging out with Brother Hao. He is just an auxiliary type with little combat ability, what is there to be afraid of?"
Wang Dong: "..."
Xiao Xiao: "..."
Huo Yuhao did not lower his voice at all, and his disdainful tone was clearly heard by the three people opposite him.
Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao are already familiar with his temper and used to his outrageous remarks, but others will not tolerate him.
Wu Feng said angrily: "What did you say?"
She clenched her right fist, and soul power burst out of her body, and she was about to be possessed by the martial spirit.
Just when she was about to explode, Ning Tian from behind put a hand on her shoulder and frowned, saying, "Wu Feng, don't be impulsive. Let's wait until the game starts and see what they can do first."
Compared to Wu Feng, she was much calmer, although her expression was not pleasant either. After all, no one had ever dared to look down on her like that.
Wu Feng listened to Ning Tian's words very much, nodded, suppressed his anger, and glared at Huo Yuhao.
Here, Wang Dong also began to introduce himself.
"Freshman Class 1, Wang Dong, a level 24 attack spirit master."
"Freshman Class 1, Xiao Xiao, Level 22 Control System Soul Master."
Finally, Huo Yuhao spoke calmly: “Freshman Class 1, Huo Yuhao, Control-type combat spirit master, level… sixteen or seventeen? About this high.”
Hearing this, the anger in Wu Feng's eyes paused, and then turned into full of mockery.
She laughed up to the sky and said, "Hahaha, I thought you dared to speak so arrogantly and look down on Soul Master. You must be at least level 30. I didn't expect you to be just a waste who is not even level 20! Our captain is almost twice your level, ahahaha~"
Nanmen Yuner and Ning Tian, who were standing by, also had scornful smiles on their faces.
空～
Wang Dong didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he felt the temperature around him seemed to have dropped by a few degrees, and he couldn’t help shivering.
"Wang Dong, do you hit women?"
"Ah?" Wang Dong turned his head and looked over when he heard Huo Yuhao calling him.
Huo Yuhao tilted his head slightly and looked coldly at Wu Feng. His eyes, which emitted a faint blue light, were full of indifference, disdain and contempt.
