Huo Yuhao was not afraid of the stage. He clasped his fists towards the two women and said, "Thank you, sisters, for letting me take a ride. Otherwise, I don't know how long it would take me to get there by myself."
Then he found a seat in the carriage that was a certain distance away from the two women and sat down.
Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo couldn't help but feel a little fond of this young man when they saw that he was handsome and elegant, and was polite and tactful in his behavior.
Zhang Lexuan was originally a quiet person, but Han Ruoruo next to her was different, she was more extroverted.
In addition, as students of Shrek's inner courtyard, they usually spend most of their time practicing in the inner courtyard, and rarely talk to people outside the academy when they are out on missions.
Seeing the young Huo Yuhao traveling alone, he immediately became curious.
Han Ruoruo asked, "Little brother, you are going to Shrek City alone to take the entrance exam for Shrek Academy?"
Huo Yuhao nodded.
Han Ruoruo continued to ask: "Little brother, did you bring the tuition fees for the entrance exam and the recommendation letter from the mayor of any of the three empires' main cities?"
"Ah? Do I need these things to take the Shrek exam?" Huo Yuhao was stunned.
Although he remembered the general plot of the original novel, he had completely forgotten that the Shrek Academy entrance examination actually required a letter of recommendation from the city lord.
Now that the other party had reminded him, he remembered that in the original book, these two things were indeed required to sign up for Shrek.
"Then is there anyone under the age of 12 with a soul power level above 21 this year?" Han Ruoruo frowned.
Where did this young fool come from, wanting to sign up for Shrek Academy without knowing anything?
"I am 11 years old, and my soul power is only level 15 now." Huo Yuhao replied.
Han Ruoruo shook her head and said, "Then I'd better advise you to go back first, little brother. Your spirit power is not up to Shrek's standard. Don't waste your efforts if you fail the exam when you go there."
Huo Yuhao said calmly: "I still want to give it a try. If Shrek Academy doesn't want me, it will only prove that they have no vision."
Han Ruoruo raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh, you are so arrogant at such a young age. Shrek Academy is the number one academy in the continent. It has been like this for thousands of years. If they don't accept you, will it mean they have no vision?"
Huo Yuhao didn't care: "Yes, in my eyes, although Shrek Academy is nominally the best academy on the continent, they also have many backward, decadent and feudal aspects.
If there was no Shrek Academy, I think Douluo Continent might be even better."
These words made Han Ruoruo feel dissatisfied, and even Zhang Lexuan, who was sitting quietly beside her, frowned.
The two had been studying at Shrek Academy since they were young, from the inner courtyard to the outer courtyard, and had spent most of their lives in Shrek. To them, Shrek Academy was like home.
Shrek's history, glory, teaching and everything else are the pride of the two and they will not tolerate slander by others.
Now hearing what Huo Yuhao said, both of them were a little angry.
Zhang Lexuan was fine, sitting aside without saying anything, but Han Ruoruo immediately snorted, staring at Huo Yuhao and said, "Stinky boy, how can you, a young boy, know what is good and bad about Shrek Academy? Tell me today, in front of me, where is Shrek Academy backward, decadent and feudal?
Why would the mainland be better off without Shrek Academy? If you can't explain it, I'll throw you off the carriage right now!"
Huo Yuhao was not too surprised when he saw their reactions.
People of this era can only see Shrek's achievements and honors, but cannot see its shortcomings. This is the limitation of the times.
He said this after understanding the entire chronicle of Douluo Continent, so his views were naturally different from theirs.
"What I just said is just my personal opinion, if you want to hear it, then I will say it.
If you think I'm wrong, you can refute me. If you make me feel I'm wrong, I'll get off the bus myself, how about that? "
"Well, an 11-year-old kid is arguing with me. You tell me what you think first."
Han Ruoruo snorted disdainfully.
"First of all, I think the most backward and corrupt system of Shrek Academy is their admission examination system. The most unreasonable rule is that it requires a letter of recommendation from a city lord of one of the three empires.
This rule alone has blocked the path for countless talented soul masters to enter Shrek.
Many children from civilian families have no way to find the city lord and get a letter of recommendation, or some have to go through great difficulties to find the city lord, but how can they guarantee that the city lord will issue a letter of recommendation?
In the end, many talented geniuses could only look at the gate of Shrek and sigh in despair. "
Huo Yuhao said calmly.
"Hey, what do you know, kid? Do you know what Shrek is?
Ten thousand years ago, Shrek was an ugly soul beast, and people also called it a monster.
In other words, Shrek Academy is also known as Monster Academy, and the martial spirits of the students we recruit must be of high quality.
If the city lords recognize the quality of your martial spirit and recommend you to Shrek Academy, that would also be their political achievement. Why wouldn't they be willing to issue such a letter of recommendation?"
Han Ruoruo refuted.
Huo Yuhao laughed: "Haha, is that so? Based on my understanding of those city lords, the city lord recommendation letter may have already evolved into a tool for those city lords to gain benefits for themselves."
"For those powerful soul master families, nobles, and sects, the city lords would like to offer the recommendation letters to them like servants.
But for those poor soul masters who are truly gifted, it is as difficult as ascending to heaven to obtain such a thing. "
"Since then, Shrek Academy has long become a backyard controlled by these nobles, families, and sect members. What percentage of them are real commoners?
The most typical example is the Shrek Seven Devils. Over the past ten thousand years, their combinations have been similar every time. They have been blindly pursuing the glory of ten thousand years ago, with the constant appearance of martial spirits such as the White Tiger, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, the Phoenix, the Netherworld Spirit Cat, and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower. Doesn't this reflect the backwardness of Shrek over the past ten thousand years?"
Huo Yuhao revealed the bloody reality: "The current Shrek is no longer a pure school, but more like the Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago. It has used its influence to become a giant on the continent.
However, it is more terrifying than the Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago. At least in Douluo Three Kingdoms, no one dared to offend it. The only difference is that the Spirit Hall at that time was ruled by angel spirits, the Qian family. Now Shrek is in power. I don't know what spirit it is, but there must be such a spirit. "
Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo's expressions changed drastically.
Han Ruoruo's face was filled with anger, and fire was about to burst out of her eyes.
After hearing these words, Zhang Lexuan on the other side showed an extremely complicated expression on her face.
Was Huo Yuhao wrong? She wanted to refute him.
But she couldn't refute it, because she knew very well that what the young man said was not only not wrong, but absolutely right.
She herself is a living example. After she awakened her martial soul, she wanted to join Shrek to study in a normal way. However, because she could not get a letter of recommendation from the city lord, she became homeless. In the end, if it weren't for Mr. Mu who discovered her top talent and brought her back to Shrek, she would not be the eldest sister of the inner courtyard now.
As for the martial soul inheritance of the current leader of Shrek that Huo Yuhao mentioned, this secret was unknown to everyone in the inner courtyard, but she was the one who knew it best. What Huo Yuhao was referring to was the martial soul inheritance of the Holy Dragon of Light, that is, the lineage of the founder of Shrek ten thousand years ago, the ancestor Yu Xiaogang.
She, Zhang Lexuan, is the child bride of the next generation inheritor of this lineage.
Backward, feudal, and corrupt?
It's really heartbreaking.
She laughed at herself in her heart.
Then she shifted her gaze to Huo Yuhao.
The boy was dressed simply, and there were even a few patches on his washed-out coat.
How could such a young child know these inside stories?
who is he?
