Douluo Dalu 2: Reincarnated as the Auspicious Beast

For a moment, Wang Rui didn't quite know how to describe Room 108.

If he had to describe it... it would probably be like a crime scene where someone had been chopped into pieces and was now being washed.

The floor was completely soaked, and when Wang Rui looked down, he could see his own reflection on the water's surface. Two basins filled with water had dirty cloths soaking in them, and a brush covered with some foam was lying across the middle of the room, giving off a tragic vibe. Fortunately, this was on the first floor; otherwise, if the water leaked downstairs, those two might have to compensate Shrek Academy.

The ceiling and walls were a damp gray, as if someone had wiped them down with a wet cloth.

Whether it was cleaning the bloodstains or the spider webs on the ceiling, Wang Rui thought the Light Goddess Butterfly spirit shouldn't be used this way. Flying was truly reckless.

Wang Dong's bed had also been lifted, exposing the bare iron frame. The originally light yellow wooden bed board had turned a damp reddish-brown color, making it look quite uncomfortable to sleep on.

Thank goodness both people inside were fine, so it probably wasn't bloodstains they were cleaning.

An Wen lay weakly on the bed, looking like a cat trapped in the bathroom by its owner, hiding in the corner to avoid a bath, her face showing regret and a lack of will to live.

Meanwhile, Wang Dong was crouching by the desk, holding a wet cloth that was still dripping water, diligently wiping the legs of the table. Every time he wiped, a noticeable water streak was left behind.

He murmured things like, "I'll win it back sooner or later" and "What kind of man uses such a shady soul skill?"

It seemed Wang Dong had the excellent virtue of accepting losses but clearly lacked experience with cleaning. His obsessive cleanliness made him eager to clean every corner of the room.

Wang Rui wasn't sure if he didn't know how to wring out the cloth or thought a wet cloth cleaned better, but he felt that if he stayed in the room for another second, he'd be at risk of developing rheumatism.

Quickly putting down the snacks, Wang Rui turned and left.

As for their roommate situation, they could figure it out themselves... he wasn't some neighborhood committee auntie.

The Emperor Beast ran away.

...

Wang Rui had been dragged into training by Huo Yuqing the whole night. The next morning, he was still in bed with his palms facing Huo Yuqing, maintaining the soul fusion training position.

The effects of their soul fusion training were quite evident. Wang Rui could feel his cultivation speed had indeed increased. Training with Huo Yuqing was definitely faster than training alone.

Stretching lazily, he got out of bed to freshen up.

At this time, the sky had just begun to lighten, but there were already sounds of early risers moving about in the hallway.

On the other side, Huo Yuqing had finished freshening up and was standing by the window with the textbooks that Lu Mingyou had brought her. She was reciting from the books while glancing at the sky, waiting for the sunrise.

The sun rose from behind layers of greenery.

"Eh? There's definitely purple qi," Huo Yuqing remarked with surprise. "But how should I utilize this purple qi...?"

She lowered her head, writing and sketching on her notebook.

Wang Rui peeked over her shoulder and saw that Huo Yuqing had jotted down some experimental ideas about the purple qi. There were already a few experimental plans written on the page, which made him nod in satisfaction.

In the original story, Huo Yuhao's strength wasn't only due to his incredible perseverance; he also had a talent for research. After all, in the world of Douluo, most soul masters could cultivate hard, but not everyone could innovate. Shrek Academy never provided any specific training for research, so Huo Yuhao's ability to research and develop so many things was a gift from the heavens.

Those with research talent were valuable no matter where they went.

After the sky had fully brightened, the two of them went downstairs to meet up with Han Wen, then made their way to the open space by Sea God Lake.

Han Wen and Huo Yuqing sparred, with Han Wen teaching Huo Yuqing some basic body techniques while Wang Rui watched from the sidelines. Occasionally, he joined in for a brief spar.

It could barely be called morning exercise.

Afterward, the three of them headed to the cafeteria for breakfast. It was still early, but there were already a lot of people in the cafeteria.

Breakfast at Shrek Academy was nothing special, just ordinary porridge with boiled eggs and some small dishes.

Wang Rui looked around at the freshmen in their white uniforms, hurriedly eating their breakfast, and felt a moment of disorientation. He couldn't help but wonder what Tang Jia San Shao was thinking when he wrote about Shrek. If you didn't count the soul fighting and school rules, Shrek Academy wasn't much different from his previous life's boarding school.

...Despite being a fantasy world school.

After eating, they blended in with the crowd of students in white uniforms and headed to the teaching building.

An Wen's class was on the first floor, while Wang Rui and Huo Yuqing's Class 9 was on the second floor, toward the right side.

Each class in the first year at Shrek Academy had over a hundred students, so the classrooms were naturally large, like tiered lecture halls, with enough space to accommodate up to 150 people.

They had arrived early, so only a few students had arrived. Most of the new students were chatting in groups.

Wang Rui didn't have any high expectations for Shrek's classes. Naturally, he slipped to the back row and picked a seat by the window.

The view was great, and after all, the back row by the window reminded him of his hometown...

From this seat, he could also watch the first-year students during their morning exercises.

Huo Yuqing sat beside him.

Their arrival attracted quite a bit of attention.

Wang Rui's appearance was naturally striking, with his bright red hair that was both bold and handsome. Huo Yuqing's appearance resembled that of Huo Yun'er. After a period of rest and nourishment, she looked much better and was a handsome young man in male attire.

Several girls in the classroom started glancing over, trying to approach, but hesitated to make the first move.

Huo Yuqing seized the opportunity to catch up on her reading while Wang Rui leaned back in his chair, resting his eyes and thinking about the recent arrangements within the Beast Sect.

Before long, someone sat down in front of him, turned to the side, and tapped on his desk.
