Chapter 7 Huo Da Grilled Fish King "Teacher Xiaoya, where should we sell it?" Huo Yuhao asked curiously. Tang Ya's smart eyes turned around, and it was obvious that she had planned this long ago. She answered briskly: "In front of the college! Yuhao, with your superb grilled fish skills, you will definitely not be afraid of not being able to sell it. Even if you really can't sell it, the worst that can happen is that we can enjoy it ourselves." After saying that, Huo Yuhao followed Tang Ya out of the academy gate. As soon as he stepped out of the door, Huo Yuhao was shocked by the scene in front of him. The academy gate was very lively, with all kinds of stalls. It was obvious that everyone came here for the huge consumer group of Shrek Academy students, and they all wanted to make a fortune here. Tang Ya was excited, and took out the metal oven, iron rack, and various seasonings that she had prepared in advance, and carefully placed the charcoal neatly on the ground. She clapped her hands and said expectantly, "Okay, now I have done what I should do, and now it's up to you." After that, she ran away excitedly. Huo Yuhao first carefully checked the seasonings, then skillfully mixed and stirred them, carefully stuffed them into the herring's belly, and then skewered the fish with bamboo sticks. Making a fire was a piece of cake for Huo Yuhao. In the blink of an eye, a few pieces of red-hot charcoal were already added to the oven. The oven was not small in size and could hold four fish at a time. Huo Yuhao put the skewered fish on the oven and started to roast them with great concentration. It must be said that Huo Yuhao's skill in roasting fish was indeed superb. Not long after, the rich aroma filled the air. At this time, Ye Qian and Gu Yuena came to the east gate of Shrek Academy. As soon as Ye Qian approached, he was attracted by the aroma of grilled fish. His eyes lit up instantly. He took Gu Yuena's hand without saying anything and walked quickly towards Huo Yuhao's grilled fish stall. Gu Yuena was a little confused by Ye Qian'an's sudden action, but the tempting aroma of grilled fish made her no longer resist and she followed him obediently. "What a delicious grilled fish." Ye Qian couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Huo Yuhao looked up when he heard the voices and saw Ye Qian and Gu Yuena. A warm smile immediately appeared on his face and he said, "Welcome to taste it." Gu Yuena's eyes fell on the grilled fish, and a hint of interest flashed in her eyes. Ye Qian said impatiently: "Give us two, how much?" Huo Yuhao quoted the price: “Two fish for ten bronze soul coins.” Ye Qian'an winked at Gu Yuena, who then took out a gold soul coin from her soul guide ring and placed it on the stall. Huo Yuhao was stunned when he saw the gold soul coin, and quickly said, "This... I don't need that much." "It's okay. No need to look for it. We can just count them together when we eat next time." Ye Qian'an responded to Huo Yuhao with a smile. Huo Yuhao nodded and deftly handed the two grilled fish to them. Ye Qian'an took one, handed one to Gu Yuena, and then started eating it with big mouthfuls. "Well, it's really delicious. No wonder the fragrance can spread so far." Ye Qian'an kept praising while eating. Gu Yuena also took small sips of the grilled fish in her hand and nodded slightly, indicating that she agreed with Ye Qian'an's statement. This was the first time that Huo Yuhao successfully completed a transaction, and he couldn’t help but feel a little excited. After taking the gold soul coin, he started to grill the fish more seriously and attentively. Ye Qian and Gu Yuena stood aside, eating with gusto. The aroma of the grilled fish seemed to have a magical power, attracting more and more students passing by to stop. With the first customer, there will naturally be subsequent customers. However, Huo Yuhao had just arrived, and although everyone could smell the aroma of the grilled fish, they didn't know how it tasted. However, when they saw Ye Qian'an and Gu Yuena eating so contentedly, everyone's doubts immediately dissipated. In just a few moments, the other two green carps that Huo Yuhao had grilled in the first round were instantly sold out, and his grilled fish quickly gained an excellent reputation. Huo Yuhao himself did not expect that the business would be so hot. He said to the students gathered around the grill with a slightly apologetic look: "Seniors, today is my first time to do business. I can only sell 18 grilled fish. I have just sold four, and there are 14 left. According to the principle of first come first served, seniors who are not in line, please come back tomorrow." Grilled fish came out of the oven one after another. Huo Yuhao grilled them very seriously. Even though there were many students coming to buy them, he did not reduce the quality of the grilling at all. Every student who bought grilled fish praised the taste and ate it with great satisfaction. "Junior, how much is your grilled fish?" A clear and pleasant voice came, and a stunning girl asked softly. “Senior, five bronze soul coins for one.” Huo Yuhao replied politely.

The stunning girl frowned slightly and said, "It's a bit expensive. Considering the cost and your processing process, three bronze soul coins will be enough, so you can still make some money." “Sorry, I don’t accept bargaining for my grilled fish, and today’s stock has been sold out.” Huo Yuhao said calmly. At this time, Ye Qian'an and Gu Yuena, who were standing nearby, had already finished eating the grilled fish in their hands. Ye Qian'an frowned slightly when he saw the girl who came to ask about the price. Gu Yuena followed Ye Qian'an's gaze. The girl looked only about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a slender and well-proportioned figure. Her long golden hair naturally wavy behind her head, and her skin was whiter than snow... After hearing Huo Yuhao’s answer, the stunning girl was stunned for a moment, then she looked apologetic and said, “I’m sorry, I just made a random calculation. If I have a chance in the future, I’ll try it again.” After that, she turned around and slowly left. "Ye-Qi-an, is she pretty?" Gu Yuena looked at Ye Qi'an, gritting her teeth and asked word by word. When Ye Qianan heard Gu Yuena's words, he was shocked and quickly apologized, "In my eyes, no one can compare to you. You are the most beautiful in the world. Just now I was just... a little curious. Yes, pure curiosity!" Gu Yuena snorted: "It's better to be like this, otherwise you will be in trouble." At this moment, a low, deep, yet angry voice suddenly sounded: "Boy, you dare not sell it!" Then, a golden light flew straight to Huo Yuhao's stall like lightning. "Ding——" The golden light hit the oven accurately and embedded deeply into it. Then, a tall figure strode over, quickly passed the stunning girl who had just left, and arrived in front of Huo Yuhao's stall. He raised his hand and grabbed the only two grilled fish left on the oven. Because he had to keep an eye on the temperature of the grilled fish, Huo Yuhao kept his spiritual eyes open. Although the other party caught the fish very quickly, Huo Yuhao was still one step ahead, picked up the two grilled fish and stepped back a few steps. He had specially reserved these two grilled fish for Tang Ya, how could he let others take them away so easily? The man missed it, but reached into the oven and grabbed a few pieces of charcoal. “Boy, are you looking for death?” The young man in black shouted angrily, and the charcoal in his hand was crushed in an instant. Then he swept his right foot and kicked Huo Yuhao's oven to the side. At the same time, he took a step forward, stretched out his big hand, and grabbed Huo Yuhao's chest. Huo Yuhao's spiritual detection clearly showed that the black-clothed youth was not just aggressive on the surface, and with his current ability, he could not dodge at all. At this critical moment, a golden figure rushed out from behind Huo Yuhao, and with just one kick, the black-clothed youth staggered back several steps. Ye Qianan stood in front of Huo Yuhao in an instant, his eyes revealing a hint of coldness. He looked at the young man in black coldly and said, "You can't bully others by taking advantage of your power. Although I may not be good at literature, I do know some martial arts. Do you want to compete with me?" The young man in black steadied himself, glared at Ye Qian'an, and shouted, "Boy, why are you meddling in other people's business? This grilled fish is mine if I like it." Gu Yuena also stepped forward, crossed her arms, and said coldly: "Humph, you robbed others' things and are still so arrogant. We will take care of this matter today." The young man in black looked up and down at Ye Qian'an and Gu Yuena, and said with a disdainful smile: "Just the two of you, you want to stop this young master? Do you know who I am?" From the appearance of the young man in black to his attack, and then to being repelled by Ye Qian'an, the whole process happened so quickly that the people around him only woke up from their dream at this moment. Two voices sounded almost at the same time. "What are you doing?" "Stop." The first sentence was uttered by the stunning girl who had just left, with a look of shock and anger on her face; the second sentence was shouted by a figure who rushed over as fast as lightning, and this person slapped the young man in black with his palm. The young man in black obviously didn't expect that someone would attack him again. He blocked with his right hand and it collided with the palm that was coming towards him. "Puff——" Both of them were shocked at the same time, and each took a step back. Neither of them gained an advantage. The person who came was none other than Huo Yuhao's senior brother Bei Bei. Tang Ya's pretty face was full of anger at this time. She put her hands on her hips and shouted, "Xu Sanshi, if you dare to bully my people, I will fight you." "Tang Ya, don't think that I can't do anything to you just because Beibei is protecting you." The black-clothed young man Xu Sanshi roared in a low voice with flaming eyes. Tang Ya sneered and said fearlessly: "Come on! Am I afraid of you?" Beibei's face was calm, and he said calmly: "Xu Sanshi, you bullied my junior brother. You must give me an explanation for what happened today, otherwise we will go to the fighting spirit area to fight it out." Xu Sanshi sneered, "So what? If he doesn't give Jiang Nannan face, he doesn't give me face. It's just two grilled fish. I've already paid for it."

Tang Ya stamped her feet in anger and said angrily, "That was left for me by Yuhao. Beibei, why are you still wasting time talking to him? Beat him up." Xu Sanshi curled his lips and said to Beibei provocatively: "It's been a long time since I last sparred with you. Isn't it just going to the fighting spirit area? Let's go!" "We are the ones who will handle the issues concerning our freshman class, Yuhao, don't you agree?" Ye Qian'an patted Huo Yuhao's shoulder and spoke in a neither loud nor soft voice. Huo Yuhao nodded, his eyes flashing with determination, and responded: "Well, Senior Brother, Teacher Xiaoya, this matter was caused by my grilled fish, I will face it myself." Ye Qianan smiled, turned his gaze to Xu Sanshi, and said, "Okay, then Xu Sanshi, let's make a bet. I'll take Yuhao's place!" Xu Sanshi crossed his arms and sneered, "Hmph, just you? A freshman who is ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth dares to challenge me. Well, today I will let you know how powerful I am. Let's bet three Xuanshui Pills." After saying that, he turned and walked towards the academy. Tang Ya was in front of Huo Yuhao. She raised her hand to take the grilled fish and took a bite without hesitation. With her other hand, she held Huo Yuhao’s hand and said as they ate, “Come on, since this happened because of you, let’s go join in the fun.” The Fighting Spirit Area occupies a very important position in Shrek Academy. It is located in the northwest corner of the Martial Spirit Department, close to Shrek City. This is a place frequented by many senior students in the academy. In the fighting spirit area, various competitions can be held. The academy will arrange special teachers to serve as referees, who are responsible for judging the outcome of the competition, protecting the safety of the participating students, and providing assistance and treatment when necessary. Of course, all these services are paid for. To have a fighting spirit competition, both parties need to pay at least ten gold soul coins as venue fees. Despite this, many students still enjoy the competitions here, because there are not too many restrictions when competing here, and there is no need to worry about the consequences of hitting too hard, as the teacher who acts as the referee will accurately control the scale of the competition. The competition in the Fighting Spirit Zone is open to all students in the academy, but the prerequisite is that payment is required. In addition to the venue fees paid by the participating parties, the spectators also need to pay the ticket fees. What greatly surprised Huo Yuhao was that the upcoming duel between Ye Qian'an and Xu Sanshi from the freshman class had attracted the attention of many students. Most of the students who had witnessed the conflict at the entrance of the academy, regardless of their grade, chose to come and watch the fight. At this time, there were already two to three hundred people sitting in the seats around the edge of the venue. Gu Yuena and others came earlier and sat in the first row closest to the venue. As time went by, more and more students gathered in the fighting spirit area. "Sister Nana, can Brother Ye win?" Huo Yuhao asked Gu Yuena, feeling a little unsure. Gu Yuena nodded calmly, her eyes revealing firm trust, and said, "Don't worry, that person is definitely not Ye Qian'an's opponent." Tang Ya and Bei Bei, who were sitting nearby, couldn't help but show a look of surprise when they heard Gu Yuena say this. Others might not understand how strong Xu Sanshi was, but as senior students, they knew it clearly. But the silver-haired girl in front of him seemed to be full of confidence in Ye Qian'an and did not take Xu Sanshi seriously at all. "Huo Yuhao." An angry voice came, startling Huo Yuhao. He turned his head and saw Wang Dong walking towards him aggressively. “Why are you here too?” Huo Yuhao asked with a guilty conscience. As soon as he saw Wang Dong, the scene he accidentally saw earlier immediately popped up in his mind… Wang Dong's face turned red and white. He sat down next to Huo Yuhao and said in a low voice, "Tell me, what did you see?" Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved his hands and said, “Ah? I didn’t see anything!” Wang Dong snorted angrily and threatened: "If you don't knock on the door next time, I will never forgive you." After this little episode, Ye Qian'an stood there calmly on the field, his eyes calm, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him. Xu Sanshi crossed his arms, with a look of disdain and arrogance on his face, and laughed at Ye Qian'an, "Boy, it's not too late to regret now, or I'll beat you to a pulp later, so don't cry for mercy." Ye Qian smiled and replied calmly, "If you are defeated by a freshman, don't hide and cry." At this time, the referee walked to the center of the field and said seriously, "Freshman Ye Qian'an challenges fifth-year student Xu Sanshi. You have already made a private agreement on the bet on the outcome. Now, are you all ready?" Ye Qian'an and Xu Sanshi nodded to the referee at the same time, indicating that they were ready. "The game begins." The referee announced and quickly stepped back.

Xu Sanshi released his martial spirit at the first possible moment. His body expanded rapidly, and his school uniform was stretched tightly. In his right hand, the huge tortoise-shell shield also appeared. The fighting spirit area, which had been a little noisy a moment ago, suddenly became silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on the two people in the venue. .........
