Chapter Sixteen: Rebirth Assessment (Three)

  At this speed, Huo Yuhao was confident that he could break through to the 20th rank by the time he graduated from first grade and obtain his second soul ring. Tianmeng had once said that after obtaining a second soul ring, his strength would make a qualitative leap, especially since the Ice Emperor's Soul Ring would truly possess its own abilities.

  At that moment, Huo Yu Hao was looking forward to it very much. When the time came, he would be able to fight side by side with Wang Dong again and help him even more.

  Time always flies fastest when daydreaming, and before he knew it, dusk had arrived. As usual, Huo Yu Hao went to the cafeteria to buy a processed green fish and headed straight for the entrance of the college.

  The flow of people at the entrance of the college today has obviously decreased, perhaps because of the upcoming freshman assessment, and most freshmen have a sense of urgency and stay in their dormitories to study hard.

  However, Huo Yu's business was not affected by this. When he arrived, the team had already lined up, and the one in first place was none other than Xu San Shi.

  "Ding----" Xu Sanshi flicked a silver coin at Huo Yuhao and said, "No need for change, give me a big one."

  Huo Yu Hao chuckled and said: "Xu brother, you are indeed unstoppable!"

  The two had long since passed their initial unpleasantness, and seeing each other every day had made them quite familiar. After becoming familiar, Huo Yuhao discovered that Xu Sanshi was not as gentle as BeiBei, but his temper was somewhat violent, yet he was very kind-hearted and passionate like a raging fire.

  Xu Sanshi chuckled and said, "Who made me like this dish? Every night if I don't have a bite of this, my dinner doesn't taste good. I've had roasted fish many times before, but none of them could control the heat as well as you do. Even Jiang Nannan praised your roasted fish for being delicious. By the way, I heard that you're going to have a new student assessment?"

  Huo Yu Hao nodded and said: "Yes!"

  Xu Sanshi said: "Then you must work hard, don't get eliminated. Otherwise, I won't have a place to eat roasted fish." Until now, he still didn't know that after Beibei won against him, there was the shadow of Huo Yuhao behind her. He just thought that Huo Yuhao had average talent and only made delicious roasted fish. In fact, Huo Yuhao's reputation for roasting fish at Shrek Academy far exceeded his actual strength.

  "Little Xu." Just then, a cold voice suddenly rang out. Upon hearing this voice, Xu Sanshi shivered with a chill, and Huo Yuhao saw a few points of fear in his eyes, but more was a sense of helplessness.

  The other diners behind Xu Sanshi also instantly fell silent like cicadas in winter.

  A woman walked out of the college gate, walking slowly and steadily. The crowd naturally gave way to her, not even daring to look at her, and lowered their heads one after another. This effect had obviously surpassed Jiang Nannan's appearance.

  He Yu Hao looked up and saw that the person who came was a woman in red, with a slender and proportionate figure. The first thing people would notice about her was her somewhat exaggerated bust, firm, high and almost popping out...

  The waist is slender, and it's not until the hip curve that it suddenly expands, with straight and round legs, a strong youthful aura rushes forth.

  But her face was veiled in a red mask, and only her eyebrows were visible, yet it could be seen that she must be a beauty. Her pale pink eyes gave people a soul-stirring feeling. Fortunately, her gaze was very cold, which slightly suppressed the enchanting light of her eyes.

  Xu Sanshi obviously knew her, turned around with a stiff face, but didn't look into her eyes, slightly lowering his head, saying: "Little Peach sister."

  This made Huo Yu Hao even more surprised, Xu San Shi was as fierce as a raging fire and untamed, as a fifth-year student, his status in the outer court was even higher than Bei Bei's. Due to his exceptional talent, many sixth-year students looked up to him with some reverence. Even teachers wouldn't let him have such an attitude! Who exactly was this red-clothed woman? For some reason, Huo Yu Hao and Wang Dong beside him both felt a slight sense of familiarity when they saw the woman.

  The woman in red glanced at He Yu's oven and walked slowly to Xu Sanshi's side, saying: "Xiao Xu, are you out here eating roasted fish?"

  Xu Sanshi nodded and said: "Yes! Yu Hao's roasted fish is exceptionally delicious."

  The woman in red clothes showed a hint of curiosity in her eyes, and said to Huo Yu Hao: "Give me one too, let me try." She wasn't some fairy who didn't eat or drink anything worldly, usually she was cultivating every day, so naturally she would be interested in new and unusual things.

  "Sorry, I only sell thirty a day. There are already thirty people in line today. Please come back early tomorrow."

  He didn't know how many people he had said the same words to. But this time, as soon as his voice fell, almost everyone in line suddenly raised their heads and looked at him with a terrified expression, including Xu Sanshi.

  What followed was even more astonishing to Huo Yu Hao: the people who had been standing behind Xu San Shi suddenly dispersed, vanishing in an instant.

  The woman in red smiled and said, "Alright, now that there's no one lining up, I think I should be able to get something to eat."

  Xu Sanshi kept making eyes at Huo Yu Hao. Huo Yu Hao wasn't someone who didn't understand the situation, so he nodded and continued to roast fish seriously.

  Wang Dong, who was standing aside, however, did not remain silent. He said somewhat indignantly: "Who are you? Why are you interfering with our business?"

  The woman in red raised her right hand, revealing spring onion-like fingers. On her right index finger was a large ruby, its bright red color as beautiful as pigeon blood. With a flash of light, a gold soul coin appeared in her hand and she handed it to Wang Dong's face. "I'll cover today's roasted fish."

  Wang Dong didn't hesitate, took the golden soul coin and stopped talking. Although this red-clothed woman had an intimidating aura that scared away many people, she seemed to be reasonable after all. Moreover, he vaguely felt something was off, and a hint of fear towards this red-clothed woman appeared in his heart.

  It turned out that Huo Yu Hao was honest and said: "You won't need so much money, my roasted fish is five copper soul coins per piece."

  The woman in red seemed unwilling to say more to him and said lightly, "Let's just consider it stored with you for now. In the future, if I want to eat, you won't charge me money."

  "Good." Huo Yu Hao nodded in response while carefully roasting the fish.

  The woman in red originally seemed to be looking for Xu Sanshi, but now she is ignoring Xu Sanshi and instead focusing intently on He Yu's fish roasting.

  After a moment, she let out a soft "wow", "The fire control is so perfect, are you a Fire Attribute Martial Spirit?" As someone who was skilled in playing with fire herself, she could naturally see that Hol Rain's occasional adjustments to the fish's position showed a mastery of the flames that was subtle yet precise.

  Huo Yu Hao shook his head.

  After a while, the four roasted fish in the first oven were done. Since there was no one else today, Huo Yuhao handed two to the red-clothed woman and Xu Sanshi each. The thirty carp he bought every day were actually not all for them, the extra ones were naturally for Tang Ya and Wang Dong.
