Huo Yuhao was also very happy.
Getting forty-three Gold Soul Coins in one go was equivalent to what he earned from selling Grilled Fish over four or five days.
Adding Xiao Wu's forty-three Gold Soul Coins, Huo Yuhao now had more than two hundred and sixty Gold Soul Coins on hand. He had already saved up a quarter of the amount.
And this was only the second day of school. If he kept saving at this rate, Huo Yuhao would be able to gather one thousand Gold Soul Coins in a month at most!
Huo Yuhao could practically see the Mysterious Water Pill waving at him!
"Look at how unworldly you are. It's just eighty-something gold coins. Is that really worth getting so excited about?"
Seeing Huo Yuhao grinning foolishly, Xiao Wu could not help but say this.
After saying that, she also began to giggle foolishly. "But eighty-something gold coins really is quite a lot. Eighty-six Gold Soul Coins... We made a fortune this time!"
Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes and ignored Xiao Wu.
After laughing for a while, Xiao Wu asked, "Yuhao, are you still going to sell Grilled Fish at noon?"
Huo Yuhao shook his head. "No. The lunch rush has already passed, so I won't be able to sell much. I'll go earlier tonight and try to sell more."
"Mm." Xiao Wu nodded. "Then after lunch, come with me to Spirit Hall. I'm already a one-ring Soul Master now, so I can receive one Gold Soul Coin every month."
"Alright." Huo Yuhao nodded.
Spirit Hall in Nuoding City was extremely imposing. It was a massive domed building, over a hundred meters wide at the front and twenty meters tall, with three floors.
Nuoding City's Spirit Hall was brown overall, with a sword-shaped emblem above its main entrance.
Two guards stood outside Spirit Hall, both appearing to be around twenty years old.
When Huo Yuhao and Xiao Wu arrived at the entrance, Huo Yuhao said, "Hello, uncles. We're students from Nuoding Academy, and we'd like to have our Soul Power Levels assessed."
Since both of them were wearing Nuoding Academy school uniforms, the guards did not suspect anything. They let them in and reminded them, "Go to the reception hall on the first floor and find Soul Grandmaster Ma Xiunuo there. He'll help you."
"Thank you," Huo Yuhao replied politely before entering Spirit Hall with Xiao Wu.
The moment he entered Spirit Hall, Huo Yuhao understood what true grandeur was. The dome rose twenty meters overhead, and its entire ceiling was covered in murals. Within each small square were depictions of all kinds of martial souls. The background was a brilliant golden color, making the hall look splendid and magnificent without losing its ancient simplicity.
Huge crystal windows lined the surroundings of Spirit Hall. Sunlight refracted through the transparent crystal windows and spilled across the murals, making the glittering golden light even more dazzling.
Huo Yuhao recovered after only a moment. He had seen even more magnificent buildings in his previous life, so he merely felt a little awed that such grand architecture had existed ten thousand years ago.
Huo Yuhao suddenly sensed that something was wrong with Xiao Wu. Her hand was gripping his tightly, her palm covered in cold sweat, and he could not help turning to look at her.
There was a hint of confusion in Xiao Wu's eyes, along with some hatred.
"What's wrong, Xiao Wu?" Huo Yuhao could not help asking.
Xiao Wu immediately snapped out of it, like a startled rabbit. She shook her head and said, "N-Nothing..."
Xiao Wu is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. She seems a little afraid of Spirit Hall. Could she have a grudge against Spirit Hall?
Huo Yuhao guessed silently.
There were not many people inside Spirit Hall. Just as Huo Yuhao was about to ask where Master Ma Xiunuo was, he suddenly spotted an acquaintance.
Su Yuntao.
He was an old acquaintance indeed, having eaten quite a bit of Huo Yuhao's Grilled Fish.
"Brother Tao! You're here too!" Huo Yuhao quickly called out.
At that moment, Su Yuntao was standing with a female Soul Master. She had a curvaceous figure and a pretty face.
Su Yuntao turned around and, upon seeing Huo Yuhao, smiled. He looked over Huo Yuhao's school uniform and asked, "So, you got into Nuoding Academy. How does it feel? Have those noble kids been bullying you?"
Huo Yuhao chuckled. "They won't dare bully me from now on."
Hearing this, Su Yuntao asked curiously, "Why won't they dare bully you anymore? Did they bully you before?"
Huo Yuhao said, "Their boss, Xiao Chenyu, was beaten into submission by us. Of course they won't dare bully us anymore."
"Xiao Chenyu? Beaten into submission by you?" Su Yuntao looked at Huo Yuhao in disbelief. "Really? Xiao Chenyu is the city lord's son. I heard he's already a one-ring Soul Master. You can beat him?"
Huo Yuhao did not answer. Instead, he took out the Electric Baton and looked at Su Yuntao and the female Soul Master, considering which one to test it on.
After a brief thought, he decided to use Su Yuntao as the test subject.
Huo Yuhao said, "If you don't believe me, let me poke you with this thing and you'll know."
"Sure, go ahead." Su Yuntao looked at Huo Yuhao with a smile on his lips. He did not believe this little thing could hurt anyone. He was a Soul Grandmaster close to level thirty!
But unexpectedly, the moment the inconspicuous Black Iron Rod touched him, an intensely numb sensation swept through his entire body.
"Ah!"
Su Yuntao's legs went weak, and he nearly fell over.
He hurriedly spread Soul Power throughout his body and asked uncertainly, "You beat Xiao Chenyu with this thing?"
Huo Yuhao nodded.
"What is this thing?" Su Yuntao asked curiously.
Huo Yuhao smiled. "A little trinket I got by chance. It has some effect on anyone below Soul Elder."
The female Soul Master beside him also leaned over curiously and asked, "Is this thing really that powerful? It looks far too ordinary."
Huo Yuhao said nothing and poked the female Soul Master with the Black Iron Rod.
The female Soul Master neither dodged nor avoided it. There was even a trace of eagerness in her eyes.
"Ah!"
When the Black Iron Rod touched the female Soul Master's slender waist, she suddenly let out a soft cry. Her legs went weak, and she nearly slumped crookedly onto the ground.
Fortunately, Su Yuntao caught her in time.
The female Soul Master looked at the Black Iron Rod and Huo Yuhao, her face flushed as she said, "That thing of yours really is powerful..."
"Pretty powerful, right?" Huo Yuhao put away the Electric Baton and said with a smile, "As long as they aren't Soul Grand Masters with two Soul Rings, I can take them on... Brother Tao, I came here to test my Soul Power. Do you know where Master Ma Xiunuo is?"
Su Yuntao said, "I'll take you there. Spirit Hall is pretty big, so it won't be easy for you to find him on your own."
"Thanks. I'll treat you to Grilled Fish later," Huo Yuhao said with a smile.
"Wait a moment..." The female Soul Master's voice cut in, and Huo Yuhao and Su Yuntao could not help looking over.
The female Soul Master bit her lip and asked, "What's that thing of yours called? Are you selling it?"
Huo Yuhao asked strangely, "It's called an Electric Baton... Big sister, why would you buy this thing? It isn't very useful against Soul Grand Masters."
The female Soul Master rolled her eyes. "Of course I have a use for it. Even if I can't use it myself, I can give it to the younger generation in my family... Just tell me, are you selling it or not?"
