Profound Water Marrow Cleansing—Third Update, Please Keep Reading

Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Wang Dong immediately laughed. "Sure! If you can't feed me full tomorrow night, then I'll... I'll bother you until you can't sleep!"

Xiao Xiao hurriedly raised her hand. "Me too, me too."

Beneath the eaves at the dormitory entrance, Mu En's lips twitched slightly as he leisurely muttered to himself, "Back then, I don't know how many women said those words to me! And every time, I filled them up. What interesting little fellows."

"Alright." Huo Yuhao took a porcelain bottle from his storage Soul Tool.

Tilting the bottle, Huo Yuhao poured out two deep-blue pills and handed one each to Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao.

The pills were as large as cherries, covered in white patterns of varying shades. Once they were poured from the bottle, a faint mist of water even spread around them.

Their fresh scent was deeply refreshing.

"These are your Profound Water Pills. Go back and find a chance to use them."

"This..." Xiao Xiao carefully accepted the Profound Water Pill. "Yuhao, Xu Sanshi was defeated by you and Wang Dong together. I... I can really have one too...?"

"Since you've joined my Ming Sect, I don't have much else to give you. I might as well borrow flowers to offer Buddha and give each of you one." Huo Yuhao smiled.

Huo Yuhao's smile was bright and sunny, making the two of them instinctively feel more favorably toward him.

"Actually, even without me, you would've had a way to defeat Xu Sanshi, right?" Wang Dong asked.

Huo Yuhao said nothing, merely smiling as he looked at her.

Only after a long while did Wang Dong accept the Profound Water Pill and softly say, "I'll count this as owing you one."

The three parted ways. Xiao Xiao went upstairs to her dormitory first, while Wang Dong stood behind Huo Yuhao, watching him.

She felt that Huo Yuhao's attitude toward her no longer seemed the same as when they had first met.

But upon thinking carefully, where had Huo Yuhao's hostility toward her come from when they first met?

Though she had indeed been arrogant at the start, based on the personality she believed Huo Yuhao had, it seemed unlikely that he would develop such intense hostility toward her—hostility so heavy it had nearly felt murderous—just because of that.

Wang Dong could not figure it out.

Still, since they had been able to mend their relationship, and she had now joined the Ming Sect, she was practically Huo Yuhao's person...

"Pah, pah, pah! What do I mean, Huo Yuhao's person... What am I even thinking?" Wang Dong patted her cheeks, only looking up to discover that Huo Yuhao had already reached the dormitory door.

"Hey, wait for me!"

Mu En lay on his recliner, looking as harmless as ever as he gently rocked it a few times. "Profound Water Pills... interesting..."

After returning to the dormitory and waiting for Wang Dong to enter, Huo Yuhao immediately shut the doors and windows tightly.

Although his physique was no longer like it had been in his previous life, the Profound Water Pill was still useful.

And it was not just the Profound Water Pill. In the future, he would certainly have to make a trip to the Ice and Fire Dual Eyes.

In his previous life, he had suffered tremendous hardship at the Ice and Fire Dual Eyes, even becoming crippled and nearly dying.

As for the root of it all... Huo Yuhao gave a cold laugh. Sooner or later, he would settle the score with those two beasts.

"Alright, Yuhao, take the Profound Water Pill first. I'll stand guard for you," Wang Dong said.

Huo Yuhao shook his head. "No need. It's nighttime now; no one will come to disturb us."

Hearing this, Wang Dong did not insist. She quickly climbed onto her bed, assumed a cross-legged meditative posture, and swallowed the Profound Water Pill in one gulp.

As soon as the Profound Water Pill entered her stomach, the comfortable, clear sensation nearly made Wang Dong moan.

Wang Dong quickly steadied her mind and focused on meditating.

After glancing at Wang Dong, Huo Yuhao also climbed onto his bed and tipped his head back, placing the Profound Water Pill into his mouth.

The Mysterious Heaven Skill began to circulate. Huo Yuhao felt as though he had been submerged in an incomparably refreshing pool.

This Mysterious Heaven Skill had been improved by him in his previous life and had become somewhat different from the one Tang San cultivated.

Since Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong had happened to join the sect, Huo Yuhao also intended to rework these techniques and cultivation arts before teaching them to the two girls.

The Mysterious Heaven Skill was upright and peaceful, yet Tang San had cultivated it like a demonic art, drawing in bloodlines to nourish himself. His conduct rivaled that of a true Evil Soul Master.

After improving the original Mysterious Heaven Skill, Huo Yuhao named it the Formless Skill. Formless and without shape, suitable for all living beings—no name could have been more fitting.[1]

Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track became Lingbo Micro-Steps, Purple Demon Eyes became the Truth-Shattering Eye Technique, while Mysterious Jade Hand and Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon were collectively renamed Dragon Capture Hand.

These cultivation arts and techniques differed from the originals. Even if Tang San, the so-called "founder," came to inspect them, he might not be able to discern the secrets within.

After all, Huo Yuhao had improved and created them after traveling through that mysterious world and broadening his horizons.

Huo Yuhao calmed his heart and focused his mind, shutting out all external distractions. Dense Soul Power fluctuations spread from his body.

In the darkness of night, the blue light radiating from Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's bodies was especially conspicuous.

A thin layer of water mist faintly floated around the surface of both their bodies. Amidst the spreading mist was a distinctive, fragrant scent.

As time passed, the water mist gradually grew thinner, while the fragrance also became fainter and fainter.

After some more time, the scent from the mist around their bodies changed from fragrant to fishy and foul, while its color grew increasingly darker.

Profound Water Marrow Cleansing expelled impurities. Once those impurities were forced out, they formed the mud-like grime now covering their bodies.

Thanks to the Formless Skill, Huo Yuhao's process of Profound Water Marrow Cleansing was much faster than Wang Dong's. He was the first to open his eyes.

A sharp gleam flashed through Huo Yuhao's eyes. So long as one could endure it, the earlier the marrow-cleansing effect of the Profound Water Pill was used, the better.

At this moment, his marrow cleansing had already succeeded.

Huo Yuhao's body, and even his bedboard, were covered in the filth expelled from his body. The academy uniform he wore had also turned pitch-black.

Huo Yuhao stood up, first opening the dormitory window to air the room out before heading straight for the washroom at the end of the corridor.

Not long afterward, Wang Dong slowly woke up as well. Being rather sensitive, she immediately smelled the foul stench coming from herself and her surroundings.

The stench and greasy filth disgusted Wang Dong immensely. Fortunately, she knew that this was the result of taking the Profound Water Pill to cleanse her marrow, so she did not scream.

Otherwise, the freshmen on this entire floor would likely have known no peace.

She looked toward Huo Yuhao's bed and, upon seeing that he was not in the room, snorted. "Hmph, he actually absorbed it faster than me. Sigh, forget it. I stink all over—it feels awful. I should go wash up first."

The window was open, and a layer of silver radiance spilled down from the pitch-black night sky, laying a thin veil of moonlight across the room.

As Wang Dong rushed into the washroom, she did not think about one thing: if Huo Yuhao, who had also taken a Profound Water Pill, was not in the dormitory, then where was he?

Note [1]: I originally wanted to call it Heavenly Shift, but after thinking about it, the name didn't quite fit (
