The Breath of Light

"Hmm?"

Wang Dong was slightly taken aback by the rejection.

Having been pampered since childhood, she had never suffered such indignation.

From childhood to adulthood, everyone around her had spoken to her gently. Who would dare refuse her so bluntly?

Coupled with the incident a few days ago, when she had been made to clean that dilapidated dormitory all by herself, Wang Dong—who held grudges fiercely—had already been simmering with rage.

And now this lousy Shrek Academy had assigned her a roommate?

And she was supposed to put up with this?

Although the person before her was rather good-looking, enough to rival her appearance in male attire.

Still, hmph, what a waste of such a handsome face.

Please, she had spent an entire day seriously and painstakingly cleaning this filthy, messy dormitory before finally getting it into decent shape, yet he showed no consideration for her at all?

Wang Dong snorted coldly and said arrogantly, "If you don't listen to me, I'll beat you out of here. If you don't believe me, try it."

Ever since she was young, her second uncle had taught her that the strongest fist was the only hard truth.

Now was the time to establish her authority. She would not yield!

Between Soul Masters, strength spoke first.

"Strength reigns supreme, huh? Then let's give it a try."

Huo Yuhao raised his brows and headed straight outside the Dormitory Building.

"You!"

Seeing Huo Yuhao's calm expression, Wang Dong laughed instead. Her smile was beautiful, but it carried disdain and contempt.

How did this idiot dare act so arrogant? He looked even more full of himself than I was?

Very well, Huo Yuhao. I'll remember you. I hope your strength can match that arrogant attitude of yours!

With that thought in mind, Wang Dong followed after him.

Shrek Academy covered an enormous area, with wide open spaces separating its buildings. Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong left the dormitory and stopped in an open clearing.

At the dormitory entrance, the old man reclining in his lounge chair slightly raised his head. A curious gleam flashed through his dim yellow eyes as he watched the two with great interest.

Within Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Sea, two Spiritual Bodies stood in VIP spectator seats, conversing as they pointed and commented.

Besides preparing to watch the show and evaluating the pink-blue-haired youth, they also remained wary of Mu En, the Sweeping Monk of the dormitory.

Tian Meng's Spiritual Body was that of a girl around ten years old. She wore a white coat adorned with golden patterns, exuding a sacred purity untouched by the mud.

Beneath her short golden hair was a delicately carved, adorable face, with a pair of large golden eyes that were both clear and profound.

She gave a rather solemn reminder.

"Bingbing, don't casually release your aura. That old fellow outside is truly a top-tier Titled Douluo. Be careful not to let him sense our existence."

"You don't need to remind me. Of course I know that."

At this moment, the Ice Empress was also in her Spiritual Body state, appearing as a cold and proud young girl dressed in white and green.

Her emerald-green hair was tied into twin ponytails, and she wore a golden crown. Her orange-gold eyes were filled with majesty, radiating icy arrogance.

Tian Meng was eager to stir up trouble. "As expected of Shrek Academy—crouching tigers and hidden dragons everywhere. Yuhao's roommate isn't simple, but she definitely isn't as strong as our Yuhao."

The Ice Empress folded her arms and nodded approvingly, her green twin ponytails swaying slightly.

"Yuhao truly is exceptionally outstanding. As long as we protect him well, he will surely recreate the glory of godhood from ten thousand years ago in the future!"

"Exactly. If even Yuhao can't attain godhood, then absolutely no one in this era will be able to accomplish such a feat. The three of us will definitely slaughter our way through everything!"

As the two spoke, an aged voice suddenly rang out.

"Hehe, you two truly have placed great hopes on little Yuhao."

The Ice Empress immediately felt alarmed. "Who is it? Show yourself before this emperor!"

"It's that old fellow who fought with me for territory before—the Grey Bead in the Spiritual Sea!"

Sensing the familiar aura, Tian Meng immediately became vigilant.

"Don't be nervous, Big Worm, Little Scorpion. This old man bears you no ill will. Like you, I too hold great expectations for Yuhao."

Tian Meng did not think it was a good thing to place her hopes of survival in someone else's mercy.

She could sense the immense suppression emanating from the tiny Grey Bead.

The Spiritual Power level of this unknown existence was actually far above hers, having reached a realm Tian Meng could not comprehend at all. It seemed to have surpassed the boundaries of every living creature on the Douluo Continent.

In the early stages of Soul Masters, there was no specific classification for the realms of Spiritual Power; it simply accumulated through numerical growth.

Because the Douluo Continent had no Spiritual Power cultivation methods, aside from the Purple Demon Eyes.

Therefore, for ordinary Soul Masters, Spiritual Power could only increase alongside Soul Power. The longer they cultivated and the more often they meditated, the stronger their Spiritual Power became.

Soul Masters with Spiritual Attribute Martial Souls possessed an enormous advantage in Spiritual Power cultivation. As Three-Ringed Soul Elders, they could already possess Spiritual Power surpassing that of ordinary Six-Ringed Soul Emperors.

Thanks to the boosts from all kinds of cheats, although Huo Yuhao's Soul Power Level was only 27, his spiritual cultivation had already reached the level of a Seven-Ringed Soul Sage.

Only by accumulating enough could one have a chance to achieve the Boundless Realm of endless self-circulation. (This was the fourth level of Purple Demon Eyes, the Vast Sea Realm.)

At the same time, this was also the realm occupied by most non-Spirit Type Eight-Ringed Soul Douluos.

Beyond that came the Tangible Yet Formless level of Spiritual Power. This realm was already the limit for many non-Spirit Type Titled Douluos, and one of the shackles preventing them from breaking through to Limit Douluo.

Higher still was the Tangible and Substantial level of Spiritual Power.

Finally came the Demigod-level realm of Spiritual Power.

Tian Meng's current Spiritual Power realm was only Tangible Yet Formless. Yet relying on his vast total amount of Spiritual Power, he was already nearly unmatched on the Douluo Continent.

But now, when faced with this unknown existence whose allegiance was unclear, he was like an ant trying to shake a tree, completely powerless.

He was drenched in sweat.

Fortunately, due to the parasitic connection, the unknown existence before them could not harm Yuhao.

They could only rely on Yuhao to remove it.

"Who exactly are you?"

Ice Empress asked bluntly.

In her view, the Spiritual Power realms of the other two present were both far beyond her own, so she did not have much of a concrete sense of it.

Huo Yuhao had also sensed the disturbance within his Spiritual Sea. With all three gathered, they could even start a game of Fight the Landlord.

He immediately split his attention in two, directly forming a Spiritual Body to shield the two behind him before joining the conversation.

"Hello, old sir. How should we address you?"

Huo Yuhao greeted him very politely.

After waiting so long, the big shot had finally come online.

He could hardly wait to fast-forward to the apprenticeship part.

Looking over the entirety of Unrivaled Tang Sect, Electrolux's character was absolutely worthy of Huo Yuhao's solemn respect. He could certainly be called Huo Cheat's lifelong mentor.

This was an essential mentor and friend for opposing Tang San!

As long as he proceeded steadily like this, he might even get to become the God of Death—the God of Undead—in the end.

Unfortunately, without the Gold of Life, Electrolux still had to remain in an idle state.

"Me... I originally did not belong to this world. I only remember that I was about to perish, but because the power of my soul was too strong, a wisp of Divine Consciousness tore through space. Drawn here by some force, it arrived in this plane and happened to be attracted by the energy fluctuations created when Big Worm fused with Yuhao."

"In my hazy memories, only the two most resounding titles I held in life remain relatively clear: Holy Necromancer, Undead Scourge..."

The aged voice paused, seemingly recalling something.

A short while later.

The Grey Bead glowed faintly, and the voice rang out again with a hint of realization.

"Oh, at least I have not forgotten my own name. This old man is called Electrolux! You may call me Elder Yi."

Huo Yuhao took the lead in bowing. "Greetings, Elder Yi!"

Tian Meng and Ice Empress also greeted him in unison.

"Yuhao, this old man has been watching your conduct. You possess top-tier fortune, yet you are neither arrogant nor impatient, keeping your feet firmly on the ground. I am pleased that, at the moment of my complete dissipation, I was able to reside in your Spiritual Sea, child."

The aged voice was somewhat gentle.

"Unfortunately, this old man retains very little power now. I can only fall into slumber to repair my Divine Consciousness. I awoke this time only because I sensed a unique Aura of Light..."

"In any case, Big Worm, Little Scorpion, protect Yuhao well. I hope that when this old man awakens next time, we will be able to meet again."

Huh? Why did this feel so much like Entrusting Orphans at Baidi City?

An aura of light.

Was he referring to the Dragon God in the dormitory who had been watching the battle, or his roommate Wang Dong, who was testing them with a probing attack?
