Immunity: 21→61; Cellular Vitality: 29→63; Muscle Strength: 27→65; Nerve Reaction Speed: 31→101; Note: Normal level 15 attributes are 50 points!

His spiritual power had directly reached the level of a Two-ring Great Soul Master, while his other stats had also surpassed those of others at the same rank.

Those 100,000 Luck Value had been money well spent!

So much so that Wang Dong kept staring at him during lunch.

"If you have something to say, say it. Why are you staring at me?" Huo Yuhao asked uneasily.

"You... your Martial Soul mutated and evolved, so why did your physique become so much stronger too?" Wang Dong asked in confusion.

Huo Yuhao's Martial Soul was of the spiritual attribute!

Huo Yuhao had no good way to explain it, so he could only shrug and say that he did not know either.

Figure it out yourself.

"Little Yuhao!"

He followed the delighted voice and looked over.

Tang Ya happily waved both hands, while Beibei stood behind her holding two meal trays.

"Sister Ya, Brother Beibei, you came to eat too?" Huo Yuhao greeted them with a smile. "This is my roommate, Wang Dong. That's Senior Beibei, and this is Senior Tang Ya."

Tang Ya waved at Wang Dong, then came to Huo Yuhao's side and tugged pitifully at his sleeve.

"Little Yuhao, these past few days, I haven't been able to eat or sleep. I've been thinking about you."

Huo Yuhao instantly tensed up!

He subconsciously glanced at Beibei, who responded with a gentle smile.

He translated, "She misses your grilled fish."

Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Xiao's matter had already given him a terrible headache. He had finally managed to ask his classmates to take her away. He did not want another "trouble" showing up.

"It's only grilled fish. It's easy. If Sister Ya wants some, just prepare the ingredients, and I can make it for you anytime," Huo Yuhao readily agreed.

"Really?" Tang Ya's eyes lit up. "Beibei, let's go get fish!"

Tang Ya grabbed Beibei's hand, only to find that she could not pull him along.

She looked over at him in confusion.

Beibei said helplessly, "Little Yuhao just enrolled, and his homeroom teacher is Zhou Yi. Teacher Xiao Ya, don't add to his burden."

Tang Ya pouted and gloomily poked at her food with her chopsticks.

Her face plainly said—This lady is unhappy!

"If it's just grilled fish, it won't take much time." Huo Yuhao said awkwardly, "Tonight, then. I'll have more time after class."

"Yay!" Tang Ya immediately perked up. "I won't make you grill for free. Your sister will bring friends to support you! One grilled fish can sell for—"

"It's enough if Sister Ya brings friends. There's no need for money," Huo Yuhao stopped her. "The Gold Soul Coins Beibei gave me are enough for my cultivation."

—Besides, Zhuge Lan could create 100 Gold Soul Coins with just 1 Luck Value.

He could casually earn tens of thousands of Gold Soul Coins by leading a class for one day. He did not lack this little bit of money.

Tang Ya nodded repeatedly.

As long as she could eat grilled fish, anything Huo Yuhao said was fine!

They happily finished lunch.

After saying goodbye to Tang Ya and Beibei, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong headed in different directions.

"Huh? You're not going back to the dorm?" Wang Dong asked.

"No. I'm going to meditate near the bathhouse. That way, I can bathe as soon as I wake up," Huo Yuhao said.

Wang Dong hesitated where she stood for a moment, then still caught up to Huo Yuhao.

"Hm? Wang Dong, what are you—"

"I'm cultivating with you!" Wang Dong turned her head away. "Didn't you notice that when our Soul Power is fused, our cultivation speed nearly doubles?"

Huo Yuhao scratched his forehead.

After awakening his spiritual telekinesis, he had been in such an excited state that he had forgotten about that.

"Then let's cultivate together."

Chapter 24: Zhuge Lan Arranges a Meeting with Ma Xiaotao! Huo Yuhao, the Junior Schoolgirl?

"W-what do you mean, cultivate together?!" Wang Dong loudly corrected him. "It's cultivation!"

"What's the difference? Isn't it just two people cultivating?" Huo Yuhao scratched his head.

"Just stop talking! It's cultivation!"

"Oh."

Huo Yuhao was not much of a talker. When they arrived at the bathhouse, he looked around and found the area too open and interconnected, with no suitable spot.

So he simply flew onto the rooftop and began cultivating together with Wang Dong.

Without Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's giant cocoon this time, the amplification efficiency had dropped somewhat, but it was still around seventy percent.

After an hour and a half of lunch break, Huo Yuhao had turned into a "Dalmatian," his body covered in black spots and giving off a pungent smell.

Wang Dong rubbed at her body in disgust and hurriedly flew back to the dorm to bathe.

Huo Yuhao looked at the bathhouse below, then at Wang Dong's departing figure.

Just seeing her bathe had made her so embarrassed and angry.

She definitely was not used to an open bathhouse.

"You guessed wrong!" Zhuge Lan said cheerfully. "It's because Wang Dong can only enter the men's bathhouse, so of course she wouldn't come!"

"This idiot's reaction is really slow," Sky Dream Ice Silkworm complained. "Someone smarter would have discovered Wang Dong's identity as a girl long ago, right?"

"She's only eleven, after all. She still doesn't really understand the boundaries between men and women," Zhuge Lan said.

As they spoke.

After Huo Yuhao finished bathing, he headed toward the classroom looking like a freshly washed Pheobe.

A fiery red figure descended from the sky.

"Little Yuhao, so you were here. I've been looking everywhere for you." Ma Xiaotao raised an eyebrow. "You look even prettier after bathing. Why couldn't you have been a junior schoolgirl?"

Huo Yuhao's face reddened awkwardly, leaving him speechless.

"Alright, alright, I'm not teasing you anymore."

Ma Xiaotao raised a hand, and a pile of fruits as tall as a person appeared before her. Their skins were grayish-brown, and they gave off the scent of fresh grass.

"Here, these are century-grade Vajra Arhat Fruits, the best in Shrek's stores. I'm giving you a share."

"My teacher has already sent people to collect better ones. I'll give you another share when the time comes."

"That's it. I'm going to cultivate!"

With a flap of her fiery red wings, she flew away.

"Wait!" Huo Yuhao called out. "I want to bring all my classmates into the Sacred Fire Cult. Teacher Zhou told me to talk to you about it."

Ma Xiaotao hovered in the air, looking down at Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao's face turned red, and he lowered his head, not daring to look too much—at this angle, he could see the safety shorts beneath Ma Xiaotao's short skirt.

Although she wore safety shorts, her long, fair legs were still dazzling.

"Oh? Little Yuhao has grown up." Ma Xiaotao teased. "Are they giving you a recruitment quota in the Sacred Fire Cult, taking in so many people at once?"

"Not really." Huo Yuhao said earnestly, "It's just that my classmates' physiques are too weak. I want to teach them the Yi Jin Jing, but they need to join the cult for that."

A question mark slowly appeared over Ma Xiaotao's head.

Wasn't it because she was exceptionally talented that she could learn the Yi Jin Jing after joining the cult?

So this thing could be handed out wholesale?

"Are you sure it can be spread so widely?" Ma Xiaotao asked again to confirm.

"Yeah, that's right!" Huo Yuhao said firmly. "I already got Brother Lan's permission."

"Brother Lan?" Ma Xiaotao caught the key point. "Is that the superior who brought you into the Sacred Fire Cult? Has he come to Shrek Academy? Did he mention that I wanted to meet him?"

Huo Yuhao wanted to slap himself. Why had he let that slip so quickly?

He was just about to make an excuse.

"Agree to it," Zhuge Lan said. "Tell her that in the next few days, I'll have you summon her over. Leave her a direct way to contact you."

Huo Yuhao relayed his words exactly.

Ma Xiaotao took out a fiery red stone.

"Pour Soul Power into it and throw it into the sky. I'll arrive within three minutes."

"As for spreading the Yi Jin Jing, I'll go back and ask my teacher."

"Anything else?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head.

Ma Xiaotao turned and flew away. Only after she had gone far did Huo Yuhao dare to raise his head.

He put away the Vajra Arhat Fruits, but after only a few steps, Zhou Yi stopped him again.

"Don't come to class for the next few days."

"Huh? Why?" Huo Yuhao asked anxiously. "Did I do something wrong? I can change!"

Zhou Yi truly had not expected Huo Yuhao to react so strongly.

"Don't panic. You did nothing wrong."

"I want you to absorb the Soul Bone Ma Xiaotao gave you first."

"Also, tell Wang Dong that she doesn't need to come to class for now either. You have fused Soul Power, which can help you accelerate the absorption and improve your compatibility at the same time."

Huo Yuhao sighed in relief, then frowned again.

"Teacher Zhou, this Soul Bone is..."

"Absorb it without worry. There won't be any problems," Zhou Yi promised. "Come find me after you finish absorbing it. I have a surprise for you."

Huo Yuhao was still not quite at ease.

That was a Soul Bone, after all!

And a fifty-thousand-year head Soul Bone at that—exceptionally precious!

Was he really just supposed to absorb it—

Seeing this, Zhou Yi immediately put on a stern face.

"What? You won't even listen to your teacher now?"

"No."

"If I tell you to go back and absorb it, then go absorb it. Would your teacher harm you?" Zhou Yi scolded. "Being cautious is a good thing, but you cannot lose the decisiveness you should have!"

Seeing how firm Zhou Yi's attitude was, Huo Yuhao could only swallow his worries.

"I understand, Teacher Zhou."

"Mm, go on."

"Oh, Teacher Zhou, I already told Sister Xiao Tao about the cultivation technique."
