Douluo: Double comparison, this Yuhao is too cruel!

**Chapter 98**

After watching the performance of Huo Yuhao and others on the screen, it was not only Xuan Lao and Yan Shaozhe in the parallel world who were very excited about this; even Xuan Lao and Yan Shaozhe in the gap between the planes felt the same.

At this moment, both Yan Shaozhe and Xuan Lao displayed strong joy on their faces. Especially Xuan Lao, who was exceptionally proud. He laughed loudly, his mouth tilted, and the whole person looked extremely happy!

Therefore, Master Xuan couldn't help but say proudly:

"Hahaha! Well done! The me in the parallel world and Shaozhe in the parallel world!"

"Indeed, whether in the parallel world or the original world, we are equally excellent."

"It seems that it should be easy to win over Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong from the parallel world."

Yan Shaozhe beside him also laughed and said:

"We at Shrek Academy treat our students with care, and I believe they can feel our intentions."

"And the conditions we can offer are very generous, so under normal circumstances, they would be eager to continue their studies at Shrek Academy."

They continued to watch the screen.

At this moment, on the screen:

[After announcing the list of core disciples of the Wuhun Department, Du Weilun deliberately held back Huo Yuhao and the other two.]

[He then took the three of them to his office.]

[At this time, Yan Shaozhe and Elder Xuan were already waiting there in advance.]

[Du Weilun first introduced Yan Shaozhe and Elder Xuan to Huo Yuhao and the others: "Children, you should meet them first. This is the dean of the Martial Soul Department at our Shrek Academy, Yan Shaozhe, and this is the old man of Shrek Academy, Xuan Lao."]

["Come, say hello to Dean Yan Shaozhe and Elder Xuan!"]

[Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao and the others did as they were instructed, greeting Yan Shaozhe and Elder Xuan.]

[Both Xuan Lao and Yan Shaozhe were very pleased.]

[They spread their hands, indicating that Du Weilun could step down.]

[Du Weilun did not linger. After receiving the nod from Xuan Lao and Yan Shaozhe, he quickly withdrew.]

[Then Yan Shaozhe took the initiative to say, "Alright, sit down, classmates; there's no need to be polite."]

[Huo Yuhao and the others quickly sat down on a nearby sofa.]

[Yan Shaozhe smiled with satisfaction upon seeing this.]

[He then took out three leather bags.]

[These leather bags were also soul guides, adorned with various patterns. Huo Yuhao and the others noticed subtle fluctuations of soul power emanating from them.]

[At this moment, Yan Shaozhe placed the three leather bags on the table, gesturing for them to take them, and then said:]

["Students, your performance this time has been excellent."]

["Master Xuan and I watched your game from beginning to end, so we are well familiar with your abilities and are very satisfied with your performance."]

["As a result, we've decided to make an exception and grant you some relatively generous rewards this time, as the academy truly values you."]

[Yan Shaozhe kept emphasizing the academy's positive attitude toward Huo Yuhao and the others.]

[He intended to subtly influence them.]

[By stating that the academy had keenly observed their game and greatly valued them, he believed that normal students would feel honored.]

[And with such praise directed toward Huo Yuhao and the others, he was confident they would gain their favor.]

[It must be noted that Yan Shaozhe truly knew how to use persuasion effectively. In this moment, Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong looked genuinely thrilled by his words.]

[Their faces flushed with excitement, and their breathing became a bit hurried.]

[Only Huo Yuhao maintained a gentle smile throughout the exchange but was observing everything with calm intensity.]

[As for Yan Shaozhe and Xuan Lao, they were also very pleased with the reactions of the three students.]

[After Yan Shaozhe shared a few simple words, he pointed to the leather bags on the table and addressed them: "This is the first reward the academy is offering you."]

["Soul bone rewards!"]

["I believe you understand how rare and valuable soul bones are to soul masters, so we won't elaborate further."]

["What I have said about the academy valuing you is true, as this time we are genuinely sincere."]

["These three soul bones are yours from now on."]

["Take them first; you may distribute them as you wish. Whether you choose to absorb them or sell them for a profit is entirely up to you. The academy will not interfere."]

["Now, please take your first reward!"]

Xu Jiujiu exclaimed: "Three soul bones just given away? Shrek Academy is truly generous!"

Vina said, "It's Shrek Academy; how bold of them!"

Nan Qiuqiu remarked, "Who wouldn't be dazzled? After receiving this kind of reward from Shrek Academy, any normal person would feel compelled to dedicate themselves to it, right?"

Du Bu Si commented, "Cunning Shrek."

Everyone felt a mix of emotions upon witnessing this.

However, it must be acknowledged that the reward being offered by Shrek this time was indeed sincere.

Under such circumstances, ordinary people might really be swayed by greed, leading them to work loyally for Shrek Academy.

[But Huo Yuhao did not reach for the bags directly.]

[After hesitating briefly, he asked Yan Shaozhe and Xuan Lao, "Dean Yan Shaozhe, Elder Xuan, are these rewards too extravagant?"]

["I feel a little uneasy accepting such a substantial benefit from the academy without any strings attached."]

[Yan Shaozhe and Elder Xuan raised their eyebrows at this.]

[But soon, Yan Shaozhe smiled at Huo Yuhao again: "Don't worry; this is a reward from the academy. Just accept it with peace of mind."]

[However, Huo Yuhao shook his head again. He sensed a hint of conspiracy surrounding these generous rewards. He also thought that if he accepted such a significant benefit from Shrek Academy now, he would indeed be tied down to them in the future.]

[If he simply studied here, it would seem fair, as Huo Yuhao would be paying tuition, and Shrek Academy was obliged to teach him.]

[However, it felt unreasonable to accept such a valuable gift. Huo Yuhao didn't want to be overly tied to any force. So he quickly said:]

"As the saying goes, no reward without merit."

"While we performed well in the freshman competition, such a reward is still excessive."

"I'm sorry, but I can't accept this reward."
