Although this Jade Spirit Illusory Eye Skull could not compare to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion Destiny Skull from the original story that Huo Yuhao had obtained.

But!

He had already transmigrated here. Could Wang Qiu'er still sacrifice herself?

Or rather.

If the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was still called Wang Qiu'er, Zhuge Lan would take Tang San's surname!

As for the issue of its lower age.

He could just spend Luck Value to increase it. What was the big deal?

With the support of the two of them, Huo Yuhao felt somewhat reassured. He solemnly cupped his hands toward Ma Xiaotao, intending to bow.

Ma Xiaotao flashed aside, avoiding him, then kicked him in the lower back to physically straighten him up.

"Stop being so wishy-washy." Ma Xiaotao said irritably, "What's a 50,000-Year Head Soul Bone if it lets me cultivate without holding back? Even if Teacher finds out, she'll definitely approve!"

"Find out?" Huo Yuhao caught the key point. "Sister Xiao Tao, you—"

"Don't worry about it!" Ma Xiaotao waved him off. "Didn't you have something to say? If you don't, I'm leaving!"

She spread her wings, ready to take off.

"I'll say it, I'll say it." Huo Yuhao hurriedly said, "The Vajra Arhat Fruit can assist in cultivating the Yi Jin Jing and speed up the body-tempering process."

He did not mention asking her to purchase it for him. The Jade Spirit Illusory Eye Skull was enough.

At his words, flames flashed in Ma Xiaotao's eyes!

"It can speed things up too?"

"Ha ha ha!"

"In this Soul Master Competition, I'll definitely reach Seven-Ring Soul Sage!"

"Little Yuhao, you really are my lucky star! I'm going to buy the medicinal ingredients. I'll bring you a portion too!"

Ma Xiaotao impatiently beat her wings and swiftly flew toward Sea God Island.

No need to ask.

Some Titled Douluo was about to get fleeced again.

Huo Yuhao put away the Jade Spirit Illusory Eye Skull and watched Ma Xiaotao leave.

His eyes burned with fervor.

He wanted to grow stronger!

At the very least, he wanted to be as strong as Sister Xiao Tao!

"Wow! Your ambitions are way too low, aren't they?" Zhuge Lan complained. "Set yourself a small goal first: become a god!"

"Brother Lan, and that's a small goal?" Huo Yuhao said, rubbing his forehead.

"Zhuge is right. Little Yuhao, you need to look further ahead!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm encouraged him. "Before this semester ends, you need to cultivate to Rank 20. I'll take you to obtain a great opportunity!"

"Five ranks in a year... With the Yi Jin Jing, it shouldn't be a problem!" Huo Yuhao agreed. "I'll work hard!"

After saying that, he took out some dried meat and washed it down with water, filling his stomach in a minute.

Then he sat cross-legged right on the rooftop and began cultivating.

He would only be cultivating beneath a tree if he went back anyway, so there was no need to waste the time.

As for the Jade Spirit Illusory Eye Skull

He would wait and see.

From Ma Xiaotao's words, he could tell that she had taken the Soul Bone without Teacher's permission. If someone came looking for it and he could not produce it, that would be troublesome.

Inside the spiritual world.

"Tsk!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said helplessly, "Little Yuhao is good in every way, except he's too cautious. He should just absorb it and be done with it. Could Shrek really kill someone for a Soul Bone?"

"If it were before, that wouldn't necessarily be impossible." Zhuge Lan drawled. "But now, they wouldn't dare."

The mysterious Holy Fire Meow Meow Sect, the miraculous Yi Jin Jing, and Huo Yuhao's considerable potential—

All of them were more valuable than a Jade Spirit Illusory Eye Skull.

But caution was a good thing, so neither man nor silkworm said anything more.

The hour of lunch break passed quickly.

Huo Yuhao went to the bathhouse early, cleaned himself up, and once again entered the classroom right on time.

"Yuhao's here."

"Call him Class Monitor."

"Class Monitor Yuhao?"

"Class Monitor Huo, hurry and sit down. That old hag is coming!"

It was completely different from the treatment he had received that morning.

Huo Yuhao smiled and answered them one by one, then still took a seat in the first row.

This time, Zhou Yi did not enter through the door. Instead, she walked onto the podium through the teachers' passageway.

"Huo Yuhao, is everyone here?"

"Yes, Teacher Zhou. All ninety-three students are present," Huo Yuhao replied.

Zhou Yi nodded and raised a hand.

"Clatter—"

A pile of iron uniforms appeared out of thin air, stacked so high that they completely obscured Zhou Yi.

"One for each person. Huo Yuhao, lead them running. If anyone falls behind before the dismissal bell rings, expelled."

"You may only use Soul Power. Martial Souls and Soul Skills are forbidden. Anyone who violates this rule will be expelled."

"Ninety-three people is too many. At least three people must be eliminated. Expelled."

The three consecutive declarations of expulsion made everyone's faces tighten!

Huo Yuhao vaulted over his desk, grabbed an iron uniform, and tossed it toward the back.

"A few more people, come help distribute them."

"Once you get one, line up and head outside before putting it on. Get used to it first. Don't rush into running."

"Remember!"

"We are one group. As long as we help each other, Teacher Zhou can't possibly expel everyone, right?"

His words gave everyone something to hold on to. Wang Dong and the others stepped forward to help distribute them.

Watching the little group operate in an orderly manner, the corners of Zhou Yi's lips lifted imperceptibly.

This Huo Yuhao was truly interesting.

With the experience from that morning, the ninety-three of them quickly formed an arrow-shaped formation, with those in better physical condition taking on more of the burden for those who were weaker.

The first hour and a half went well. Though drenched in sweat, everyone held on.

But people had limits.

Those with the weakest foundations began collapsing one after another from exhaustion.

That was the weight of another person, plus the heavy iron uniform. Even the lightest girls weighed over a hundred jin.

Zhou Yi, Zhuge Lan, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Wang Dong, and the others were all watching to see how Huo Yuhao would handle it.

"Lift them up!"

Huo Yuhao was the first to step forward. Together with Wang Dong, he supported a nearby classmate between them.

He shouted—

"We are a team! This is just training!"

"We can't abandon any classmates! Carry them!"

"We'll slow down and jog at a slower pace. We can definitely do it!"

His words carried tremendous force. Several sturdy boys walked toward the fallen students.

But.

Selfishness was human nature.

Several people broke away from the formation and continued running ahead.

One of them even glanced back, his gaze filled with mockery and contempt.

"You really think you're some kind of savior? You think you can keep everyone here?"

The Undisputed Class Monitor! Getting Pursued Instead!

The taunting words stirred up the emotions of quite a few people.

Some who had already been hesitant followed the lead of those instigators and left the formation as well.

"Hey! Do you have any sense of collective honor?"

"Too much! Zhao Si, you really deserve to die!"

"It's embarrassing to have you as a roommate!"

Huo Yuhao's expression did not change much. He had expected this scene.

He and Wang Dong supported the student between them as they jogged forward.

He made his stance clear through his actions.

Those who had not run off followed suit.

The team moved very slowly, but their formation gradually drew closer around Huo Yuhao.

Their pounding footsteps fell in perfect rhythm. From afar, it sounded like some enormous beast taking a stroll.

Messages also began continuously appearing before Huo Yuhao's eyes.

Changed Xiao Xiao's fate, +15 Luck Value!

Changed Wang Dong's fate, +21 Luck Value!

Changed Zhao Wuyou's fate, +8 Luck Value!

The numbers were not large, but there were many of them.

Huo Yuhao had the Yi Jin Jing restoring him, leaving him enough mental energy to ponder—this was only running. How had it changed their fates?

"Those who follow the Way receive abundant support," Zhuge Lan explained. "The people who stayed have now formed a team centered around you, Huo Yuhao. If they encounter difficulties in the future, they'll be more likely to lend each other a hand."

Huo Yuhao suddenly understood.

So without realizing it, he had already become capable of affecting other people's destinies?

An idea suddenly came to him.

"Brother Lan, I want to recruit everyone into the Sacred Fire Cult!"

"I have no objections." Zhuge Lan casually said, "But you'd better ask Ma Xiaotao first and have her sound out the people above. Otherwise, they might mistake you for some Evil Soul Master group coming to Shrek to steal people."

"Brother Lan, you really think things through."

"Ring ring ring—"

The dismissal bell finally rang.

The formation instantly fell apart. Ninety percent of the students sat down on the ground, while some simply lay flat.

"Get up! Don't lie down!" Huo Yuhao shouted. "Your bodies have reached their limits, so absorbing Soul Power now will be more effective! Quickly sit cross-legged and meditate!"

He took the lead in circulating his technique, activating the Yi Jin Jing in an instant.

The tempering effect was even better than usual. His depleted flesh and blood hungrily absorbed energy.

More people followed him and began meditating.
