Douluo Dalu: Beginning with Signing in with Yan Lingji

Chapter 155: Is This Really Huo Wu?

Shrek Academy.

The Administration Office.

Today, the Shrek Academy administration office was bustling with activity. Flender, Zhao Wuji, Li Yusong, and several other teachers were all present, their faces filled with joy. The reason for their happiness was the news they had just received—Shrek Academy's genius student, Zhao Ming, was still alive.

Apart from Shrek's teachers and students, there were also three strangers in the administration office.

In the center stood an elderly man, around seventy to eighty years old, full of vigor despite his age. Dressed in a white robe, he exuded a strong and imposing aura. This was the headmaster of Blazing Fire Academy, Huo Shang.

Beside him were two students, a young man and a young woman. The man was handsome, and the woman was stunningly beautiful. Both wore gold and red uniforms adorned with the large characters "Blazing Fire Academy."

Their bearing was extraordinary, clearly indicating that they were top talents of Blazing Fire Academy. They also held another identity—they were Huo Shang's grandson and granddaughter.

They were Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu.

At this moment, both had expressions of surprise and delight.

They had just learned that the fire-attribute genius, Zhao Ming, was still alive.

It was Zhao Ming who had caused Ma Hongjun's martial spirit to evolve, transforming into the pure Fire Phoenix martial spirit.

So, could they also rely on Zhao Ming's abilities to evolve their martial spirits?

"I see. That was quite an experience for you. Escaping the Titan Giant Ape's grasp was indeed a great stroke of luck," Flender said, wiping away a tear of excitement as he listened to Xiao Wu's explanation.

Zhao Ming was not dead. Shrek Academy's star student was alive.

He had originally thought that Zhao Ming and Xiao Wu would never return. Losing two such geniuses was a blow he could hardly bear. But as the headmaster of Shrek Academy, he had to bury his grief and disappointment deep within.

But thankfully, they had all returned safely.

"It's good that you're back; it's really good," Zhao Wuji said, exhaling deeply, his face full of excitement. Knowing that Zhao Ming and Xiao Wu were alive lifted a heavy weight off his shoulders.

Ever since they returned from the Star Dou Forest, Zhao Wuji had been tormented by guilt. After all, Shrek's most talented student had nearly perished under his watch. Even though Flender hadn't said much, the oppressive atmosphere at the academy after Zhao Ming's disappearance weighed on him more than anyone. Now that Zhao Ming was back, he no longer had to bear that heavy burden.

"Congratulations. It seems our trip wasn't in vain," Huo Shang said with a smile, stroking his long beard.

"Haha, don't worry. Shrek Academy's students won't disappoint you. You've seen for yourself over these past few days that our students are all geniuses. And Zhao Ming, that kid, is on a whole different level," Flender said confidently, his enthusiasm restored now that he knew Zhao Ming was safe.

He was even looking forward to the moment when Zhao Ming returned. What kind of expressions would the people from Blazing Fire Academy have?

They'd probably be so shocked they couldn't close their mouths.

Knowing Huo Shang's nature, he'd most likely try to recruit Zhao Ming.

But Flender didn't mind. He knew Zhao Ming very well. With Xiao Wu and the other girls at Shrek Academy, and now with four of his girlfriends there, Zhao Ming would never willingly leave for Blazing Fire Academy.

And who knows, maybe Huo Shang would end up losing more than he gained.

Instead of recruiting Zhao Ming, he might end up leaving his precious granddaughter behind. That would be interesting.

Flender calculated with a shrewd smile.

As evening approached,

Zhao Ming and the three girls playfully made their way back to Shrek Academy. They only returned as the sky began to darken.

He knew Xiao Wu had already gone ahead to inform Flender and the others, so he wasn't in a hurry. With three beautiful companions, even if they couldn't do anything intimate, it was still an enjoyable experience.

Back at the cafeteria, at Zhao Ming's request, Ning Rongrong and the others stayed to have dinner.

Zhao Ming, however, headed straight to the administration office.

"Dean Flender, teachers, long time no see," Zhao Ming greeted with a cheerful smile as he pushed open the door. He knew that the room full of people was waiting for him.

"It's good to have you back," Flender replied, grinning as he looked at Zhao Ming.

"Boss!"

"Zhao Ming!"

Ma Hongjun and the other teachers greeted Zhao Ming warmly.

Zhao Ming nodded to them before scanning the room for Huo Wu.

He wanted to see what she looked like first.

As the most beautiful girl of Blazing Fire Academy, she should be quite stunning.

Standing beside an elderly man at the back of the room was a breathtakingly beautiful girl.

Zhao Ming's gaze landed on Huo Wu, and his eyes twinkled with a hint of a smile.

So, this is Huo Wu?

Just as described in the original story—she was indeed very beautiful.

Zhao Ming examined Huo Wu,

Dressed in a tight-fitting red and gold school uniform that highlighted her slender and graceful figure. Although her figure didn't surpass Zhuqing's, it was close. Huo Wu was tall, like Meng Yiran, and had a pair of long, beautiful legs. Her dark red hair was striking, making her look like a burning flame from a distance.

She had stunning long legs, an exquisite figure, and a beautiful face.

No wonder she was the number one beauty of Blazing Fire Academy.

Such a Huo Wu would make an excellent disciple. If he was going to take on a disciple, it might as well be a beautiful one—it would be both beneficial and pleasing to the eye. Killing two birds with one stone, wasn't that perfect?

Of course, the main reason was to complete the system's quest and earn another Puppet Power Enhancement Card.

That way, he'd have two—one for Queen Medusa and another for Yan Lingji. Hehehe, when his precious Cai Lin grows legs, he might just have the chance to follow in the footsteps of the legendary Xu Xian...

"Blazing Fire Academy?" Zhao Ming murmured with a feigned look of surprise.

"These three are from Blazing Fire Academy. They've come to Shrek Academy for a friendly exchange," Flender said with a smile as he introduced them to Zhao Ming. "This is Headmaster Huo Shang of Blazing Fire Academy, and these two are their top students."

"Oh, so it's the headmaster of Blazing Fire Academy. I've heard a lot about you," Zhao Ming said with a smile.

"We're all old men now, not like you young heroes," Huo Shang replied, stroking his beard. From the moment Zhao Ming entered, he had been observing him.

The more he observed, the more shocked he became.

He could sense that Zhao Ming's cultivation had already reached the thirty-ninth rank, just a step away from becoming a Soul Ancestor.

The depth of his soul power was astonishing.

These past few days, he had seen many geniuses at Shrek Academy, all of whom were exceptional. But compared to Zhao Ming, they all paled. Even his precious grandson and granddaughter couldn't compare.

Despite being older than Zhao Ming, their cultivation was still far behind his.
