Huo Yuhao put away the stools and folding table, then chose one of the middle windows among the cafeteria's eight serving counters and began getting his meal.

From right to left, the cafeteria windows grew progressively more expensive.

Although Huo Yuhao had some Gold Soul Coins left behind by Long Xiaoyao, he could not spend them without restraint.

Wang Dong, meanwhile, went straight to the far-left window and ordered the most expensive meal.

Meals purchased in the cafeteria were not allowed to be taken outside, so the students could only stand while eating.

No one had thought to buy a folding table and stool like Huo Yuhao and bring them over.

Although there were not many people in the cafeteria yet, Huo Yuhao's unusual setup immediately drew everyone's attention.

Some suddenly understood, while others ground their teeth in secret.

Wang Dong had already placed her stool beside Huo Yuhao's. After getting her meal, she walked over and sat on the other side of the table.

Wang Dong ate very slowly, chewing each bite bit by bit with the unhurried grace of a wealthy young lady.

Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, stood in stark contrast to her. He was not wolfing down his food, but he still ate quickly. Before long, he had cleared away his bowl and chopsticks, ready to take the folding table and stools he had bought back with him.

"Hey, hey, I'm not done eating yet!" Wang Dong hurriedly grabbed Huo Yuhao.

After hastily finishing her meal, Wang Dong carried her Small Stool and followed closely behind Huo Yuhao as they left.

Formal classes would not begin until the new student admissions were complete. During the walk back to the dormitory, Huo Yuhao also figured out how to deal with Tang San's Divine Sense within Wang Dong.

Although he could not do anything to Tang San's Divine Sense in Wang Dong for the time being, that strand of Tang San's Divine Sense could not do anything to him either.

Moreover, because of the Eye of Eternity, that strand of Tang San's Divine Sense could no longer continuously invade him as it had in his previous life.

Once he possessed a certain level of strength, he could try to directly remove Tang San's strand of Divine Sense.

But before that, he had to ensure Wang Dong's "loyalty."

A crazed smile gradually appeared at the corner of Huo Yuhao's lips.

What did he regret most now?

It was neither those who had died in his previous life nor the regrets that had been buried there.

It was his inability to truly control what he wanted.

In this life, the chance to seize his fate was already in his hands.

After returning to the dormitory, Huo Yuhao did not say a word. He first sat on his bed and began cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill in a meditative state.

This cultivation method from his "dear father-in-law" was truly useful, especially after Huo Yuhao had improved it.

However, Tang Ya or Beibei would inevitably see him fight in the future. Explaining the origins of these "Tang Sect secret arts" would be a problem as well.

Seeing Huo Yuhao swiftly enter meditation and begin cultivating, Wang Dong was instantly dumbfounded.

"Cultivating the moment you get back?"

Wang Dong still had many questions she wanted to ask Huo Yuhao, but seeing that he had already entered a cultivation state, she could not bring herself to disturb him.

Even she knew that recklessly interrupting someone while they were cultivating was extremely rude.

In serious cases, it could even cause someone to suffer cultivation deviation.

"Like you're the only one who knows how to cultivate?"

Wang Dong gritted her teeth, sat on her own bed, and began cultivating as well.

For a time, Dormitory 108 fell into an eerie silence.

"Mm... this cultivation method really is quite good. You humans are pretty capable, huh!"

A sweet voice rang out in Huo Yuhao's mind.

Huo Yuhao deliberately gathered his consciousness and entered his Spiritual Sea of Consciousness.

In that golden world, ten golden spheres of light quietly floated above the sea.

Hearing Tian Meng's voice again, Huo Yuhao still found it a little hard to process.

Before Huo Yuhao, a golden humanoid outline gradually took shape. Then, amid flashes of golden light, the figure fully materialized.

Beneath a white robe patterned with golden lines was a small, slender body without the slightest curve. Golden hair peeked from beneath the white hood, faintly covering her cheeks.

Those large golden eyes were like those of an innocent young girl, shy and captivating.

Despite being mentally prepared, Huo Yuhao still froze where he stood.

"Hehe, it seems my body is not only the most beautiful among soul beasts. Even in human form, I'm incomparably beautiful."

When Tian Meng spoke, her voice differed from her earlier mental fluctuations. It was even more pleasant, clear and melodious like an oriole.

"Let's get acquainted again. I am the embodiment of wisdom and beauty, your Wisdom Soul Ring, the continent's first Million-Year Soul Beast, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm!"

As she spoke, Tian Meng extended a childish little hand and struck an adorable pose, as though she were an idol.

Huo Yuhao was quite interested in Tian Meng's earlier slumber, so he directly asked, "Why did you stop speaking after we left the Star Dou Great Forest?"

A look of conflict visibly appeared on Tian Meng's face.

"I... It was my first time becoming someone else's Wisdom Soul Ring, and I was afraid my energy would burst your body apart, so I forcibly suppressed my own power."

"It definitely wasn't because there were powerful experts in the place you were taken to that I concealed my aura and went to sleep!"

Huo Yuhao could not help but laugh.

The current Tian Meng really was adorable.

What a pity... he trusted only himself now, so he absolutely could not tell Tian Meng about his previous life.

"Oh, right, right!"

Tian Meng bounced up and down as she counted on her fingers. "I also gave you an Ice Attribute martial soul, but you'll have to wait until you break through and need your second Soul Ring before I can take you to obtain your Second Martial Soul."

"So before then, don't use your Second Martial Soul lightly!"

"Um... that should be everything... In any case, listen to me. I can definitely lead you to godhood with me and make us supreme beings of the continent!"

"That's it. I'm going back to sleep!"

As she spoke, Tian Meng's figure dispersed, leaving behind not a trace of sound.

Huo Yuhao looked at the ten golden spheres of light above his Spiritual Sea, and his own figure dispersed as well...

By the time he woke from meditation, it was already evening.

Looking at the sky outside, Huo Yuhao rubbed his stomach.

His physique was already much better than in his previous life, but he still needed to work hard.

Only if his fist was big enough could he secure a place for himself in Shrek Academy.

And only if he became stronger could he accomplish what he wished to do.

"You're awake? Going to eat?"

Wang Dong, who had long since awakened from cultivation, saw Huo Yuhao open his eyes and immediately came over to ask. There was none of her morning arrogance left.

Wang Dong herself could not explain what she was feeling. She had fought Huo Yuhao, then been ordered around by him to do all sorts of things, yet an unusual feeling had instead arisen in her heart.

But Huo Yuhao could clearly sense that the power coming from Wang Dong was constantly trying to draw close to him.
