Chapter 26: Jiang Nannan and Xu Sanshi!
"Brother Jiang Bai, it's time to sell fish."
The expenses at Shrek Academy are truly overwhelming, making life incredibly difficult for the impoverished Huo Yuhao.
Even eating has become a challenge.
Thankfully, it's only been two days, and he's still alive.
However, the physical training from old hag Zhou requires a large amount of food after each session.
Jiang Bai could only use his gold soul coins to provide some assistance to Huo Yuhao.
"Brother Jiang Bai? Aren't you using any?"
Huo Yuhao was a bit confused. Weren't both of them poor?
"I have an Ultimate Martial Soul. The academy won't treat me unfairly."
"Don't worry, I'm on the list of 'easy marks.'"
Easy mark (X) Rich lady (V)
The two of them left the academy and pushed the small cart.
By this time, the streets were already filled with vendors selling all sorts of goods, everything in sight.
One could only say that Shrek Academy is bustling, and it's not an exaggeration to call Shrek City the number one city in the Douluo Continent.
Huo Yuhao was very serious. Whenever someone came to buy grilled fish, he was always respectful.
The customer is king.
Meanwhile, his grilled meat sold poorly compared to Huo Yuhao's fish.
But Jiang Bai didn't care anymore. The old man had given him a sum of gold soul coins, and the gold soul coins from the Heaven Dou Empire had also arrived.
Now, Jiang Bai was a rich man.
Moreover, with Wang Dong, the young lady of the Haotian Sect, he was even richer.
While Jiang Bai was daydreaming.
A girl who looked about fourteen years old, but already had the beauty to topple a kingdom, appeared. Her beauty was beyond compare.
Her golden hair cascaded in waves behind her, and her skin was as white as snow.
She was undoubtedly an unparalleled beauty.
Everyone around her couldn't help but be captivated. At this moment, she seemed even more beautiful than Wang Dong.
Short hair? Not bad.
"Junior, how much for your grilled fish?" The stunning beauty asked gently.
However, Huo Yuhao seemed unaffected.
He wasn't interested in women!
His heart was solely focused on revenge and hatred!
Women only distracted him from cultivating his soul power!
"Eight copper soul coins per fish, and you'll need to wait in line, Senior!"
He then looked up at the back and saw that the neat and orderly line had dispersed in an instant.
Huo Yuhao:
Jiang Bai:
So this is what being a "licking dog" is? Or is it a whole pack?
Jiang Bai admitted that she was pretty, but as soon as he thought of how something had disgusted him, he showed a face of regret.
"Little student, this is way too expensive!" The stunning woman was speechless, acting as if she didn't know anything, didn't know the cost?
You're charging me seven copper soul coins for materials worth just one copper soul coin, while crying tears of profit?
However, Huo Yuhao simply said calmly: "My fish, my price. There's no bargaining here."
"Kid, what did you say?"
Suddenly, a deep, powerful voice, full of anger, suddenly erupted, followed by a golden light shooting straight toward Huo Yuhao's stall.
But Jiang Bai raised his hand, and a green light immediately emerged, steadily catching the golden light.
He then casually pocketed it and nonchalantly continued eating the skewers he had just grilled.
The figure quickly approached Huo Yuhao and directly reached out to snatch the grilled fish from the grill.
However, Huo Yuhao had been using his Spiritual Eyes to control the heat, and at the moment the hand reached out, he quickly took the fish away.
The person ended up grabbing a handful of burning charcoal.
He then became furious. "Kid, how dare you run?"
Wearing black school uniform, a student of his age, Xu Sanshi!
He stretched out his hand, heading straight for Huo Yuhao.
However, Jiang Bai directly blocked him, firmly intercepting the move.
"Senior, this isn't a very good look, is it?" Jiang Bai said with a teasing smile.
"Xu Sanshi, stop!" The stunning woman, Jiang Nannan, spoke up.
Now, Huo Yuhao wasn't from the Tang Sect, so Tang Ya didn't come to help, and she didn't know what was happening in Shrek City.
"Nannan, don't worry, I will make sure you get your grilled fish today!"
Huo Yuhao furrowed his brows, but Jiang Bai leaned close to his ear and whispered: "Yuhao, let him act up, I'll deal with him later."
Although Huo Yuhao didn't know Jiang Bai for long, it seemed he had learned some bad habits.
In an instant, he understood Jiang Bai's meaning and casually threw the grilled fish in his hand onto the ground.
"It's all his fault! Compensation! He must compensate!"
Seeing the grilled fish, he would rather throw it on the ground than sell it to him.
Xu Sanshi immediately became enraged.
"Since that's the case, then make me compensate!"
Three soul rings instantly appeared beneath his feet, two yellow and one purple, and his body swelled up. A 1.5-meter-diameter turtle shell shield appeared in his right hand.
Xuanming Turtle!
"Senior, are you trying to bully me with your strength?"
At the same time, two yellow and one purple soul rings also emerged beneath Jiang Bai's feet.
Calling you senior was a sign of respect!
If you don't appreciate it, then don't blame me for being impolite!
Xu Sanshi was clearly shocked. "You're the one with the Ultimate Wood Martial Soul?"
Everyone at Shrek knew when a student with an Ultimate Martial Soul enrolled.
Xu Sanshi felt a little uncomfortable, his face showing signs of unease.
But now that things had gone this far, he couldn't back down without losing face.
Moreover, he was the heir to a prestigious sect and an Ultimate Martial Soul owner. If he had provoked someone, so be it.
Not giving Nannan face was equivalent to not giving himself face!
"Xu Sanshi! Stop!"
At this moment, Jiang Nannan stood in front of him, her face filled with anger.
"I've already told you, there's no chance between us. Please stop bothering me, and don't take your anger out on my junior. Otherwise, I'll lose all respect for you!"
Xu Sanshi looked embarrassed, but Jiang Nannan's words gave him an easy way out.
Otherwise, he would've actually gone through with it.
Indeed, Nannan must have feelings for me!
"Fine, I'll let you off today because of Nannan's face."
"Don't, Senior, are you afraid?"
Jiang Bai wasn't even sure of his own strength. Although he was determined to become a support-type soul master, he also had a desire to output.
In the Star Dou Forest, he had only encountered soul beasts and had never fought against humans.
Now, there was a punching bag in front of him.
If he won, no harm done; if he lost, wasn't it normal for a lower-year student to lose to an upper-year one?
"You!" Xu Sanshi's face darkened. "Since you want to get beaten up, let's go to the Shrek's Soul Fighting Arena!"
He didn't hesitate and turned to leave.
Huo Yuhao asked with concern, "Brother Jiang Bai, is this really okay?"
Jiang Bai waved his hand. "It's fine."
The Soul Fighting Arena was located in the northwest corner of Shrek Academy, a place for various experiments and combat competitions.
Of course, everything required payment.
This was very much like Flender.
A single match required both sides to pay at least ten gold soul coins for disinfection and medical expenses.
Seeing the other side slow to enter the arena, Xu Sanshi sneered. "You're not afraid, are you?"
"Afraid? I'm not afraid, but I don't have any money."
Xu Sanshi:
With a dark face, he threw ten gold soul coins to the referee. "Let's fight!"
Today, he was determined to crush this guy!
It'll be a total defeat! A humiliating loss!
