After careful consideration, Huo Yuhao explained the requirements for the two soul beasts:
"The Evil-Eye Tyrant and Mirror Image Beast, both around thirty to forty thousand years old, would be suitable. If it's the Silver Moon Wolf King, that could work as well."
As for the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, he decided to let it rest.
A Dark Demon Evil God Tiger of that age was already strong enough to contend with a Titled Douluo. Shrek Academy likely wouldn't be able to capture it without deploying their full combat strength.
After hearing Huo Yuhao's request, Yan Shaozhe fell silent.
After a long pause, he finally spoke:
"The academy will keep an eye out for these soul beasts. But Yuhao, if you can break through to the Soul Sect level by the time you enter the second grade, there will be an additional surprise for you."
[Yan Shaozhe]
[Relationship: Friend]
[Achievement Task: Selection of Students for the Soul Master Competition]
Noticing the task above Yan Shaozhe's head, Huo Yuhao suddenly understood what he was thinking and smiled: "Is it next year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Dueling Competition?"
Yan Shaozhe nodded approvingly. "Yes, with your current strength, joining the reserve team is a given! But—" He stroked his beard with a smile. "Given your special status as an inner court disciple, I can apply for you to be a regular team member! As long as you reach the Soul Ancestor realm before the reserve team selection, you can join the main team."
Seeing Huo Yuhao's interest in the Soul Master Competition, Yan Shaozhe quickly shifted the topic.
What Mirror Image Beast and Silver Moon Wolf King? Weren't they already extinct? Where could they even find them?
And the Evil-Eye Tyrant? They lived in groups in the Evil Forest, and dealing with them in the Sun and Moon Empire was no easy task.
Huo Yuhao had truly presented him with a challenge.
"Main selection team? Alright." Huo Yuhao found it amusing.
Join the main selection team and face the God of Death?
But with him here this time, even the God of Death wouldn't stand a chance!
Of course, Huo Yuhao wouldn't interfere in others' affairs.
It would be perfectly reasonable if some unruly White Tiger Spirit master were severely injured by a corpse explosion.
After exchanging a few more words, Huo Yuhao returned to class.
Coincidentally, Du Weilun had just finished handling Zhou Yi's resignation and came to report: "Dean, Zhou Yi's resignation has been finalized. What should we tell Fan Yu?"
Yan Shaozhe snorted coldly and said firmly, "Tell him whatever you need to. Inform Fan Yu to take care of his wife. Zhou Yi has caused too much trouble for the academy over the years. Does she really think the academy won't hold her accountable? I'll bring this up with Qian Duoduo later. The Soul Guidance Department has overstepped its bounds!"
…
[Achievement Triggered!]
[Achievement: 'Seeing a Dragon in the Field' – Reward: Self-Reliance Gu.]
[Self-Reliance Gu: Level 3 Gu, a healing type. The greater the power it possesses, the stronger its effect.]
[Evaluation: First time showcasing your talents!]
Although Zhou Yi's achievement mission was lost, Huo Yuhao still gained personal achievements.
Most importantly, it compensated for his current lack of healing abilities, which was a great advantage!
Back in Class 1, Huo Yuhao was greeted with a warm welcome. The entire class erupted in applause, celebrating the return of their hero, like the triumphant return of a dragon king.
"Welcome back, monitor!"
"Monitor, we respect your strength!"
"Monitor, you're so cool!"
Twin martial souls!
Even though Deputy Monitor Xiao Xiao also had twin martial souls, there was still a noticeable gap between the two!
Especially after witnessing Huo Yuhao defeat a Soul Emperor-level teacher with his Soul Elder cultivation, everyone was in awe.
As Huo Yuhao took his seat, the long-delayed freshman class resumed.
Noticing the distracted atmosphere, Wang Yan spoke slowly from the podium:
"Actually, with Huo Yuhao's talent and strength, he recently passed the Shrek Inner Court selection and has been officially approved to enter the Inner Court. Once Yuhao's soul power reaches the required level, he will begin his studies in the Inner Court. Everyone should cherish the time you have with him."
This was something Yan Shaozhe had just explained to him.
Announcing Huo Yuhao's entry into the Inner Court openly would prevent any misunderstandings or conflicts later.
Wang Yan was both shocked and impressed.
Although Zhou Yi's teaching methods were controversial, she had indeed nurtured many outstanding students, some of whom had even entered the Inner Court.
However, her arbitrary dismissal of students was bound to backfire eventually.
This was just the consequence of her actions.
Huo Yuhao, an Inner Court disciple already?
The announcement left the entire class in shock.
Less than three months in, and he was already an Inner Court disciple? It seemed almost absurd!
But upon reflection, it made sense.
If someone could defeat a Soul Emperor, entering the Inner Court was hardly surprising.
While the rest of the class was still struggling through the freshman exams, Huo Yuhao had already secured a place in the legendary Shrek Inner Court.
The gap between them was simply too vast.
They couldn't even see Huo Yuhao's back, so there was no room for jealousy—only pure admiration for his strength.
Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao exchanged knowing glances, feeling secretly pleased.
As Huo Yuhao's former roommate, Wang Dong was naturally the first to know about his Inner Court status.
Xiao Xiao had learned about it during their barbecues on Sea God Island and was equally astonished.
That's why both of them had been training diligently, their soul power progress placing them in the top tier among the freshmen.
Although their three-person team had secured third place with a bit of luck, their actual combat prowess was undeniable.
Aside from Huo Yuhao, they were confident they could take on any team.
Wu Feng quietly observed Huo Yuhao, the center of attention, and couldn't help but feel a little dazed. His handsome face was reflected in her crimson eyes.
After a moment, she shook her head vigorously, dispelling the distracting thoughts.
She was Ning Tian's person and couldn't afford to be as carefree as her classmates.
Moreover, Huo Yuhao's entry into the Inner Court was a significant development, and she needed to report it to the young Ning Tian immediately!
Yes, in addition to her training in Class 1, she had a secret mission assigned by Ning Tian: to observe Huo Yuhao.
Wu Feng not only had to gather intelligence for Ning Tian but also report any important events in Class 1 promptly.
She felt that Huo Yuhao's Inner Court status was crucial information and decided to report it after class.
…
It was now afternoon.
After the class division, the normal schedule resumed.
All grades in the Shrek Outer Court had classes until 4 p.m., leaving plenty of time before dusk.
Many students rushed to the cafeteria to eat, but Huo Yuhao wasn't in a hurry.
After all, he would be dining in the Inner Court, where the treatment was far superior, and he didn't have to compete with the Outer Court students for a seat.
He smiled and acknowledged the kind gestures of his classmates.
As he walked to the door, Huo Yuhao glanced thoughtfully in the direction of the Class 3 classroom.
A blonde girl stood there quietly, a faint smile on her pretty face. It was Ning Tian, assigned to Class 3.
Huo Yuhao had a feeling that Ning Tian would likely come to find him.
