Chapter 18: The Undisputed Class President! Suddenly Pursued!
Page (1/3)
The mocking words stirred the emotions of many.
Some who were already hesitant, influenced by these bold ones, began to break away from the group.
“Hey! Don’t you still care about the collective honor?”
“That’s too much! Zhao Si, you really deserve to die!”
“Having you as a roommate is such a disgrace!”
...
Huo Yuhao’s expression remained calm; he had anticipated this scene long ago.
He and Wang Dong jogged ahead.
He conveyed his stance through action.
Those who did not run away followed suit one after another.
The group moved slowly but gradually drew closer around Huo Yuhao.
The rhythmic pounding of footsteps sounded like a great beast walking from afar.
Huo Yuhao’s screen began to refresh continuously.
[Rewrote Xiao Xiao’s fate, +15 Luck Points!]
[Rewrote Wang Dong’s fate, +21 Luck Points!]
[Rewrote Zhao Wuyou’s fate, +8 Luck Points!]
...
The numbers were small but frequent.
Huo Yuhao had his Muscle-Tendon Change Classic to recover with, and he was curious—how could just running rewrite fate?
“It’s the power of gaining support when on the right path,” Zhuge Lan explained. “Those who remain have formed a team centered around you, Huo Yuhao. In the future, when encountering difficulties, they will be more likely to lend a hand.”
Huo Yuhao suddenly understood.
Unknowingly, he was already influencing the fate of others.
An idea struck him.
“Brother Lan, I want to recruit everyone into the Holy Fire Sect!”
“I have no objection,” Zhuge Lan said casually. “But you’d better ask Ma Xiaotao first, let her notify the higher-ups, otherwise they’ll misunderstand and think some evil Soul Master faction is here trying to poach students from Shrek.”
“You’re really thoughtful, Brother Lan.”
...
“Ding ding ding—”
The class dismissal bell finally rang.
The team instantly scattered; ninety percent of them sat down on the ground, some even lay down directly.
“Everyone, get up! Don’t lie down!” Huo Yuhao shouted, “Your body is at its limit, now is the best time to absorb soul power! Quickly sit cross-legged and meditate!”
He took the lead in cultivating, instantly activating the Muscle-Tendon Change Classic.
The refining effect was better than usual; his exhausted flesh eagerly absorbed the power.
More people began to meditate as well.
Though most were interrupted due to their condition, there was still some gain.
As for elimination?
It was already forgotten.
Zhou Yi quietly appeared, waving her hand to cast a soul power barrier, her eyes full of satisfaction.
With Huo Yuhao leading, it was easy to filter out talents worth cultivating.
The dozen or so who had left the team, unless possessing extraordinary talent, had already been eliminated in her eyes.
—Though Shrek was an academy, it also bore the responsibility of maintaining peace in the continent!

Those who didn’t even care about collective honor and chose to flee at the last moment.
If resources were wasted on such people, they might turn out to be ungrateful and betray Shrek!
After more than ten minutes,
Huo Yuhao finished cultivating and stood up; the sound of clashing iron armor startled the others awake.
Zhou Yi dispersed the soul power barrier and nodded toward the man in white.
“Buzz buzz buzz—”
Two yellow, two purple, three black soul rings—seven in total—rose up. A gentle green light radiated from his palm, growing into a towering giant tree that dropped seventy-four leaves, one for each person.
“Ah~”
“Refreshing!”
“Hiss—”
...
Strange sounds echoed continuously.
Muscle soreness, abrasions, and exhaustion rapidly recovered at an astonishing speed.
Not far away,
Nineteen students who hadn’t dared to join them slowly moved toward the group.
But until the end, no leaves fell on them.
Seeing the man in white retract his martial soul,
Someone panicked!
“Wait! We haven’t been healed yet!”
“Yeah! We’re students too!”
“This is prejudice! Discrimination!”
...
The man in white looked at Zhou Yi, who decisively shook her head and whispered a few words with hands clasped.
The man sighed helplessly, lightly touched the ground with his toes, and floated away.
Zhou Yi cast a cold glance at those nineteen.
“Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance.”
“If you can find a class willing to take you, do so quickly.”
“If you insist on staying, the resources I’ve begged for won’t be shared with you one bit!”
The aura of a six-ring Soul Emperor was released, forcibly silencing them.
She then turned and left.
As for the elimination of the last place...
If she didn’t mention it, who else would?
“Is it... over?”
“Old witch... Teacher Zhou has left, it must be over!”
“Long live the class monitor!”
“Long live Yuhao!”
“Huo Yuhao! You are my god!”
...
The recovered students lifted Huo Yuhao high, tossing him up and catching him repeatedly.
Meanwhile, Zhuge Lan in the spiritual world also gained a large amount of Luck Points.
He clicked his tongue in amazement.
“Luck points come so easily.”

“I’m even tempted to advise Xiao Yuhao to go back and defeat the White Tiger Duke, then lead the army himself.”
“You’d definitely gain a lot of Luck Points every day.”
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, hearing this, was somewhat tempted.
“Why not... give it a try?”
“Try what!” Zhuge Lan laughed, “The military life isn’t suitable for Soul Masters’ cultivation; true strength is key. Don’t forget Xiao Yuhao is destined to become a god.”
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm: “...”
But it had learned to be smart, knowing if it argued, Zhuge Lan would retort, “Do you want to awaken spiritual telekinesis or not?”
So it simply kept silent and burrowed into the ground.
Sleeping, ignoring you!
Zhuge Lan didn’t mind and continued watching the live broadcast through the spiritual world.
Huo Yuhao had been put down, reminding everyone to store their iron armor, and they left in groups of three to five.
Wang Dong walked with him, accompanied by a little girl with green hair, her bright eyes fixed on Huo Yuhao.
[Rewrote Xiao Xiao’s fate, +250 Luck Points!]
Huh?
What’s going on?
Could it be...
“Class monitor, my name is Xiao Xiao. Thank you for pulling me up just now!” Xiao Xiao said gratefully, “Otherwise, with my constitution, I might have been eliminated!”
Zhuge Lan clapped his hands!
No doubt about it!
Xiao Xiao no longer liked Wang Dong, the “handsome guy,” but was now attracted to the charismatic Huo Yuhao!
Interesting.
Huo Yuhao, feeling awkward under Xiao Xiao’s intense gaze,
“Ah, we’re just classmates, it’s nothing.”
“Just classmates?” Xiao Xiao boldly said, “Can’t we take it further? For example...”
“Xiao Xiao!” Huo Yuhao interrupted loudly, “If we go to the cafeteria late, we won’t get good food. Let’s go, hurry!”
He dashed off.
Xiao Xiao chased after him, her short legs moving so fast they left afterimages.
“Class monitor, wait for me!”
Huo Yuhao ran even faster.
Wang Dong laughed heartily, realizing even you have something to fear!
When they reached the cafeteria,
Huo Yuhao held a tray in one hand and glanced at Wang Dong, exchanging a knowing look while looking back at Xiao Xiao.
Wang Dong: ???
What secret code is this? Totally incomprehensible.
Huo Yuhao: “...”
“Dummy,” Zhuge Lan pointed out, “Use spiritual sharing, and the technique we use to talk to each other, to transmit what you want to say.”
“Ah?” Tianmeng Ice Silkworm interjected, “You can do that?”
