Shrek Academy and Body Sect

Chapter 48: Shrek Academy and Body Sect

No matter which it was, it meant that Douluo Continent had definitely become a key subject of observation for the God Realm.

People of Douluo Continent did not understand the sun because they had never been to outer space. But for the Gods of the God Realm, it was different. They surely knew how devastating an abnormal solar eruption could be.

"Little Yuhao, you're too obsessed with cultivation every single day. You still need to learn how to relax." Seeing her mother about to pull out the feather duster and attack, Lan Mei immediately changed the subject.

Seeing Lan Mei constantly wink at him, Huo Yuhao could not help but find it amusing. He smiled. "Come to think of it, I have some good news for Aunt Lan and Sister Lan Mei today."

"Good news?" Aunt Lan calmly set down the feather duster.

Lan Mei was also extremely curious.

Huo Yuhao chuckled. "My soul power has broken through to Level 10."

Whoosh.

Upon hearing that, Lan Mei's expression changed instantly. Her tone turned especially serious. "Don't lie to your sister. Are you really Level 10?"

"Mm."

Without hesitation, Huo Yuhao extended his right hand. In an instant, silver-white soul power pulsed across his palm.

Lan Mei was now a Level 40 Soul Ancestor in waiting. Since Huo Yuhao had deliberately released his aura, she could sense it. Sure enough, after carefully feeling Huo Yuhao's Soul Power Aura, Lan Mei immediately revealed a trace of delight.

"Little Yuhao, you really weren't lying to your sister when you said you wanted to study at Shrek."

Lan Mei knew how difficult cultivation was for someone with innate Level 1 soul power.

Work at the Grilled Fish House had actually been quite leisurely these past few days. Lan Mei had personally witnessed how Huo Yuhao spent every moment outside of work, meals, and the bathroom cultivating.

She had seen his efforts with her own eyes.

"It's mainly thanks to Aunt Lan and Sister Lan Mei taking care of me that I've been able to cultivate without worries. Thank you." Huo Yuhao expressed his gratitude.

Hearing his thanks, Aunt Lan's eyes held a trace of gratification. But she said nothing about it, merely saying, "I'll go prepare dinner. We should celebrate Yuhao's breakthrough."

The moment her mother left, Lan Mei immediately showed her true colors. Unable to resist, she ruffled Huo Yuhao's hair into a chicken's nest.

Huo Yuhao did not resist either, simply standing there with a grin.

Lan Mei looked at Huo Yuhao with approval. "You're Level 10 now, so you can obtain your First Soul Ring. Looks like we'll need to find time to go to the Star Dou Great Forest for a soul ring. But your Martial Soul is the Spirit Eye, so you need a Soul Beast with the Spiritual Attribute. That makes things troublesome."

Just as Lan Mei was considering spending some money to hire a Soul Emperor to take her and Huo Yuhao into the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt a Soul Beast for his soul ring, Huo Yuhao shook his head.

"Sister Lan Mei, I'm not in a hurry about the soul ring. I plan to cultivate for a while longer and accumulate more soul power. Even if I don't break through, my soul power will still continue to rise."

"On the other hand, you've reached Level 40 and can obtain your Fourth Soul Ring. Besides, the soul ring I need will be difficult to find. I'm afraid it would delay your progress."

Lan Mei stared intently at Huo Yuhao. "Give your sister a precise and reasonable explanation. Why aren't you going with me to obtain your soul ring?"

Huo Yuhao smiled as he explained, "My Martial Soul came from a mutation. After reaching Level 10, it's had some unusual activity. I suspect something may happen, so I don't plan to obtain a soul ring for now. Once this abnormality disappears, I'll go get one."

Lan Mei's focused expression faded, replaced by concern. "Could your Martial Soul be undergoing a second mutation? If it is, that's dangerous."

Huo Yuhao shook his head. "I'm not sure either, but I haven't sensed any danger."

Lan Mei placed both hands on Huo Yuhao's shoulders and said sternly, "Remember this: if your Martial Soul feels uncomfortable in any way, come find me immediately. A Martial Soul concerns a Soul Master's entire life. You absolutely cannot be careless."

"I understand." Huo Yuhao nodded solemnly.

He had claimed that his Martial Soul was acting strangely for two reasons. First, he would definitely reveal the Heavenly Eye in front of many people in the future, so he needed an excuse in advance. In any case, outsiders could not see the Heavenly Eye's condition. In the future, he could pass the Heavenly Eye off as a second Martial Soul mutation.

After all, Douluo Continent was full of strange things. Second mutations were not unheard of.

Second, naturally, it was for the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. His First Soul Ring could only be Brother Sky Dream's. Only Brother Sky Dream could make him long for it day and night.

The reason he had proactively revealed his breakthrough was because he hoped Lan Mei would help him obtain a city lord's Recommendation Letter when the time came. He had now proven that he could reach Level 15 by the time Shrek Academy opened for the next school year.

"That's good." Lan Mei nodded. "Oh, right. The grill you ordered has been brought back. Before I leave for the Star Dou Great Forest, I want to try that Grilled Fish you mentioned—grilled first, then stewed."

"It's back already?" Huo Yuhao smiled. "No problem. I can make it anytime."

Dinner was lavish. Perhaps to celebrate the breakthroughs of the two children in the family, one big and one small, Aunt Lan pulled out all the stops and made over a dozen dishes with impeccable color, aroma, and flavor.

Huo Yuhao ate to his heart's content that night. He had already planned out the next nine months: he would go all out to reach Level 15. That way, after obtaining the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's First Soul Ring, he would have a chance to rise directly to Level 15.

That night, Huo Yuhao took a Sunlight Blueberry as usual.

As he bathed in moonlight to increase his Meridian Strength, his consciousness entered his Spiritual Sea.

Sitting cross-legged beneath the towering Sun God Pillar, Huo Yuhao considered his plans for the future. He needed a path to follow. He could not drift along without any goal.

And what Huo Yuhao did not know was...

Outside the window, faint Golden Light flowed through space like water, slowly seeping into the room. In the end, as though they had found their target, all of it converged in one place.

That place was Huo Yuhao's Brow Center as he cultivated.

The Golden Light flowed into it, intertwining with the silver of the moonlight and creating a fantastical radiance.

Within the Spiritual Sea, Huo Yuhao nodded slightly.

He had already formed two initial plans. First, enter Shrek Academy, get into the upper ranks' field of vision, and demonstrate his abilities.

The most typical example would be the incident at the Mingdou Mountain Range. With the Supreme Elder's help, an Evil Soul King had nearly wiped out two Shrek Teams. If Huo Yuhao saved them, the benefits involved would be considerable.

Second, proceed step by step to Star Luo City for the competition and make contact with the Body Sect.

He absolutely had to win over the Body Sect. It was an extraordinarily powerful force, but it had been nearly wiped out before the Original Work gave it much description. From the Sect Master down to the disciples, they had suffered devastating casualties.

Long Aotian, the heir, had even died in battle to save his fiancée.

Huo Yuhao knew very well that if he wanted to walk the path of creating his own God Position in the future, he had to win over these two major powers with everything he had. Don't let Shrek Academy's changed nature fool you—when it came to influence, it was still impossible to avoid. It was an excellent starting point.

As for the rest, he could only take things slowly.

Even if he never went to the Sun Moon Empire, it would not be a problem. But who said he could not take control of the Sun Moon Empire later on?

Wasn't the point of entry already obvious?

Isn't that right, Miss Ju Zi?

Don't forget, she and he shared a common enemy.

The White Tiger Duke...

Thinking that, Huo Yuhao subconsciously raised his head and glanced at the First Star Ring.

"Hmm?"

The instant he withdrew his gaze, he froze. He hurriedly looked back.

The next moment, the expression on his face turned utterly stunned.
