Chapter 21: Chapter 21: I'm Taking the Cutting-Edge Route!
Golden Dragon Fish was placed by Huo Yuhao on a separate barbecue grill, and he even activated his Martial Soul Fusion to use Spirit Detection Soul Skill to observe the grilling process.
Meanwhile, sales of other ordinary grilled fish, meat skewers, vegetables, and the like were also excellent during this period.
Shrek Academy students, dressed in various school uniforms, eagerly lined up to buy, even going back to the academy to call their friends to purchase and taste together.
At this moment, several female students wearing purple school uniforms walked out of the Shrek Academy gate. The moment the leading female student appeared, she attracted countless gazes.
She appeared to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, with a slender and symmetrical figure. Her long golden hair cascaded in large waves behind her, her skin fair as snow, and her eyes clear like a pool of water, exuding a refined and elegant temperament.
Seeing this stunning girl, a smile appeared on Huo Yuhao's lips. One of the reasons he chose to set up this barbecue stall was precisely because of this stunning girl.
But don't misunderstand, what Huo Yuhao wanted wasn't the so-called Outer Court's number one beauty, Jiang Nannan, but something in the hands of her lackeys.
Mystic Water Dan!
"Sis Nan, it smells so good, what flavor is it?" Another female student beside Jiang Nannan asked in amazement.
Jiang Nannan also smelled the fragrance at this moment, and a group of female students couldn't help but look towards the stall where Huo Yuhao was.
And the students who were originally gathered in front of Huo Yuhao's stall voluntarily made way, allowing Jiang Nannan and the other female students to walk directly to the grill.
Jiang Nannan smiled gently and nodded to the students who made way.
But now, these students were too engrossed in their barbecue to notice her, still eating their barbecue absentmindedly.
Glancing at these students with some surprise, Jiang Nannan walked to Huo Yuhao's stall. Whether it was the neat barbecue grill or the enticing aroma of oil, Jiang Nannan couldn't help but brighten up.
"Junior, how much are the things here?" Jiang Nannan asked softly.
"A grilled fish costs twenty gold soul coins, a meat skewer costs five gold soul coins, and a vegetable skewer costs two gold soul coins. Small business, no credit." Huo Yuhao maintained his usual tone.
"What did you say?!" Jiang Nannan's body stiffened, saying incredulously, "Twenty gold soul coins?! Junior, your prices are unreasonable. For a grilled fish like this, the cost is at most three copper soul coins, or even less. Why do you sell it so expensively?"
Huo Yuhao's face immediately darkened at her words. Although Jiang Nannan's beauty was very pleasing to the eye, he was not a lackey.
Moreover, he had to take action if he wanted to lure out Xu Sanshi, the big fish.
"Sis, your words are a bit harsh. The senior brothers and sisters here are all elites of Shrek Academy, but they have no objections to the price of my barbecue. Are you suggesting that I take advantage of them?"
"The meat I use for barbecue is all from soul beasts, and the sauce on it is also a secret recipe passed down in my family, unique to the Douluo Continent, unparalleled. The cost you mentioned of three copper soul coins only applies to ordinary barbecue stalls, but I am taking the cutting-edge route, and the taste of the barbecue I make is incomparable to ordinary people's."
"These things are the last batch of ingredients I have today. After grilling them, I'll be closing the stall. If you don't want to buy, please step aside and don't delay the senior brother behind you from dining. Thank you."
Jiang Nannan was taken aback for a moment, then apologized, "I'm sorry, junior. I didn't understand the situation and was too hasty. I apologize to you."
After speaking, she turned and walked away. A barbecue priced in gold soul coins wasn't something a girl from a civilian family like her could afford.
"Kid, dare you not to sell?" A deep, thick, yet angry voice suddenly rang out.
Continuing, a heavy package slammed fiercely onto Huo Yuhao's barbecue cart, leaving a shallow mark on the stainless steel surface.
A figure dressed in black swiftly approached, swiftly passing by Jiang Nannan and heading straight to Huo Yuhao's stall, reaching out to grab the two grilled fish on his grill.
"Eight Extremities Collapse!"
Huo Yuhao's first soul skill, Spiritual Detection, was still active at this moment. His combat instincts, honed through countless battles, instantly allowed him to anticipate the attacker's position.
His right elbow suddenly struck out, targeting the weak point in the attacker's arm bones. Meanwhile, his left hand grabbed the two grilled fish and handed them to the male student who had been queuing earlier.
Boom!
Huo Yuhao stepped back two steps, his face turning red. The attacker's cultivation was indeed superior to his.
The black-clothed man involuntarily took a step back, his arm feeling numb and weak. Obviously, Huo Yuhao's previous strike had also caused him some damage.
The newcomer wore a black school uniform, tall and imposing, with thick eyebrows and fierce eyes, a straight nose, and a square mouth, giving him a dignified appearance. His fair skin flushed with anger, his slightly chubby face exuding an imposing aura.
"Kid, you're looking for death!" the black-clothed man roared angrily, about to attack again.
"Xu Sanshi, what are you doing?"
Jiang Nannan's face was full of shock and anger as she spoke loudly.
"Nannan, this kid refuses to sell you things, he's not giving you face. Not giving you face means not giving me, Xu Sanshi, face. I can't let him off!" Xu Sanshi stepped forward, his big hand reaching straight for Huo Yuhao's chest. His seemingly simple grab was actually ever-changing, making it difficult to evade.
However, in terms of close combat skills, Xu Sanshi was far from being a match for Huo Yuhao.
He not only mastered Blue Rain's combat techniques and possessed terrifying combat experience but also practiced Grandmaster's combat techniques. Coupled with Spiritual Detection, he was invincible in close combat.
"Stealing my things and damaging my stall, even if you're a senior, I won't let you bully me like this!"
Turning into a series of afterimages, Huo Yuhao activated the Haodong Power and swiftly moved to Xu Sanshi's side, dodging his grab.
Then, his right elbow struck out again, still using the Eight Extremities Collapse. However, this time, Huo Yuhao put twelve times the strength into it, aiming directly at Xu Sanshi's vulnerable ribs.
If hit by Huo Yuhao's move, Xu Sanshi would undoubtedly be severely injured. Even though his cultivation was stronger than Huo Yuhao's, the injuries caused by the intense internal shock were something he couldn't bear.
Unable to dodge in time, two yellow and one purple soul rings instantly rose from under Xu Sanshi's feet. His fair skin instantly darkened, muscles swelling as he grew larger by a circle.
Most peculiarly, a black tortoiseshell shield with a diameter of about one and a half meters appeared in his right hand.
"Mystic Abyss Quake!"
The first yellow soul ring lit up, and a powerful black halo instantly spread from the shield in Xu Sanshi's hand, covering an area of more than ten square meters, like a huge gas shield pushing outward. In the process of pushing outward, a rumbling sound was emitted.
Huo Yuhao's body was uncontrollably sent flying by Xu Sanshi's first soul skill. However, as he flew backward, his eyes suddenly spewed out a crimson flame.
"Soul Assault!"
Xu Sanshi was about to pursue, but his brain seemed to be pricked by a needle, and his consciousness instantly became somewhat blurry.
At this moment, Tang Ya stood between the two, pouting her red lips discontentedly, "Xu Sanshi, you're not allowed to bully Little Yuhao. If you delay me from having a big meal, I'll let Beibei teach you a lesson!"
