RNP Chapter 109 Huo Yuhao: I refuse!
Chapter 109 Huo Yuhao: I refuse!
The recliner creaked and groaned, the monotonous and rhythmic sound particularly clear inside the Sea God Pavilion.
After a long while, Mu En's aged voice rang out again.
"Okay. Go ahead."
Yan Shaozhe bowed and turned to walk towards the door.
The footsteps gradually faded into the distance, eventually disappearing from everyone's sight.
Silence fell once again inside the Sea God Pavilion.
Moon's eyes were half-closed, and his wrinkled face showed no expression.
He had not read the information about Huo Yuhao that Du Weilun had previously presented.
He trusts what he sees and feels with his own eyes more than those cold, hard numbers.
Huo Yuhao's talent was unparalleled, even in the eyes of an old man like him who had lived for hundreds of years.
Faced with such a genius, the academy cannot be too concerned about giving him any more attention.
The elders around the long table fell silent.
They were waiting, waiting for Yan Shaozhe to return with the child.
At the same time, they were also looking forward to seeing what kind of genius the Sea God Pavilion would hold a special meeting for.
……
Shrek Academy is still Shrek Academy.
Ten thousand years have passed, enough to turn the sea into mulberry fields. Although this academy has expanded a lot, at least its location has not changed.
Having had some free time these past few days, Huo Yuhao wandered around the academy and found some traces that he had seen ten thousand years later.
At this moment, he followed Yan Shaozhe to the true core of Shrek Academy—Seagod Island!
When his feet finally set foot on the island's soil...
The intense life force, almost solidified into a tangible force, rushed towards him, exactly the same as what he felt when he landed on Seagod Island ten thousand years later.
Yan Shaozhe did not state the purpose of his visit.
But Huo Yuhao already had a pretty good idea of what was going on.
The doors of the Sea God Pavilion slowly opened in front of me.
In that instant, dozens of gazes were cast upon him, focusing on him as if trying to see through him from the inside out.
Huo Yuhao raised his eyelids, his gaze calmly sweeping across the long table.
He keenly sensed the messages conveyed by the gazes of the crowd, including shock, curiosity, and regret.
Yan Shaozhe stepped forward, his voice echoing within the Sea God Pavilion: "Yuhao, these are all elders of the academy, each one a powerful expert at the Title Douluo level."
As he said this, everyone's eyes fell on Huo Yuhao's face, wanting to see what kind of expression the young man would show.
After all, any eleven-year-old child would have some reaction upon suddenly seeing so many legendary beings.
Shock, awe, tension, fear, even being too excited to speak are all normal.
But Huo Yuhao simply stood there calmly.
He nodded slightly, his gaze slowly sweeping across the faces of each elder. His gaze was neither humble nor arrogant, but calm and composed, without the slightest hint of stage fright or panic.
He was so composed... unlike an eleven-year-old boy.
Around the long table, several elders exchanged glances, all seeing the same thing in each other's eyes... This child is no ordinary person.
At this moment, they finally understood why Moon had said those words.
This boy certainly cannot be regarded as an ordinary student.
If one simply uses the attitude of a superior to exert pressure, it may backfire.
Yan Shaozhe then continued, "Your talent is one in a thousand years. All the elders here cherish talent and wish to take you as their disciple."
"Many of them are Super Douluo."
He paused, his gaze returning to Huo Yuhao, his tone becoming more serious: "I wonder what your thoughts are?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's heart stirred slightly.
This was somewhat different from what he had guessed. He had originally thought that being summoned here was just a formality, a way for these elders to meet the legendary genius student.
Unexpectedly, they actually wanted to take him on as a disciple, and they even asked for his opinion in such a serious manner.
In his view, Shrek Academy ten thousand years ago, though still arrogant, was at least better than it is ten thousand years later.
Huo Yuhao raised his head, his gaze calmly sweeping across the long table, and slowly shook his head.
"Thank you all for your high regard," he said in a low, calm voice, "but I have no intention of becoming your disciple at the moment."
Upon hearing this, the Sea God Pavilion fell silent instantly.
The expressions of all the elders changed simultaneously.
To everyone's surprise, Huo Yuhao actually refused.
Lin Huiqun was the first to lose her temper, suddenly sitting up straight and raising her voice several decibels.
"Boy, do you know who wants to take you as their apprentice?"
"It's a Super Douluo! There are only a handful of Super Douluos on the entire continent—you could probably count them on two hands!"
"If we miss this opportunity, we'll likely regret it later!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but smile inwardly.
Too late to regret?
His face remained calm and composed, without revealing a trace of emotion.
Does he need a teacher like Super Douluo?
Ten thousand years later, he had several teachers, including some with extreme combat power, so he was not lacking in famous teachers.
Moreover... he entered Shrek Academy not to become an apprentice.
He simply wanted to see with his own eyes what his wife, the woman recorded in history books, who would only exist in cold words ten thousand years later, actually looked like.
If one becomes an apprentice, then one has truly entered the Shrek Academy.
Even after graduation, they will still be bound to this college.
Seeing Huo Yuhao's reaction, Lin Huiqun felt as if she had punched a cotton ball, which was extremely uncomfortable.
The other elders who had originally wanted to speak also wisely kept quiet upon seeing this.
Silence fell once again inside the Sea God Pavilion.
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out: "Yuhao, since you have no intention of becoming an apprentice, then... how about coming to my Soul Guidance Department?"
The one who spoke was naturally Qian Duoduo, the dean of the Soul Guidance Department.
Yan Shaozhe's expression suddenly changed.
He whirled around: "Old Qian! This is a meeting of the Sea God Pavilion, don't mess around!"
But inwardly, he knew something was wrong.
That old fox must have somehow found out about Huo Yuhao's talent for soul tools!
No wonder he hadn't said a word earlier; he was waiting here!
Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo chuckled calmly and said, "Old Yan, I'm not joking."
He stood up, his gaze slowly sweeping over the elders gathered around the long table. He cleared his throat and said loudly, "The information Dean Yan showed you earlier wasn't complete..."
"It didn't specify that Huo Yuhao is at least a Level 5 Soul Master!"
As soon as he finished speaking, another collective gasp of astonishment echoed through the Sea God Pavilion.
An eleven-year-old level five Soul Master?!
The elders looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock.
These old guys may not usually care about soul tools, but that doesn't mean they don't know what a level 5 soul master means.
This means that while cultivating soul power, the child also devoted a lot of energy to researching soul tools.
This also means that if he hadn't studied soul tools, his cultivation speed might have been even faster than it is now!
What does this mean?
He's already a level 43 Soul Master, and if he gets any faster... no one dared to think any further.
However, Huo Yuhao still slowly shook his head in the face of Qian Duoduo's invitation.
"Thank you for the invitation, senior. However, I have no interest in joining the Soul Guidance Department."
If it were someone else, they would probably back down after hearing this.
But who is Qian Duoduo? He is Shrek Academy's notoriously shameless person.
His smile remained unchanged as he continued, "Yuhao, I know you have some issues with Fanyu from our Soul Guidance Department."
"But all of that is negotiable. I can make him apologize to you! How about that?"
Huo Yuhao remained expressionless and did not respond.
Qian Duoduo was not discouraged and continued, "You are so young, yet you have such expertise in soul tools. You must truly love soul tools."
"As long as you're willing to join the Soul Guidance Department, feel free to make any requests you have!"
"Cultivation resources, soul-guiding materials, research funding... anything the Soul Guidance Department can provide, I'll give you!"
"Furthermore, I can make the decision that the day you become an eighth-level Soul Master, you will be the next dean of the Soul Guidance Department!"
However, Huo Yuhao remained unmoved by the many "temptations" offered by Qian Duoduo.
He nodded slightly, his tone tinged with apology: "Thank you for your high regard, senior. However, I only study soul tools to make a living, and I wouldn't say I particularly like them, so I think I'll pass on my studies in the soul tool department."
Qian Duoduo's eager smile froze instantly.
If someone can become a Level 5 Soul Master at this age just to make a living, just how high must their talent be?
If he likes it even a little bit, or if he really falls in love with it, how far can he go?
Qian Duoduo stood there, stunned, unable to tell whether Huo Yuhao was telling the truth or not.
