Huo Yuhao's Unyielding Backbone

Time passed quickly, and a few days went by.

Xuanyuan Sheng sat alone on a flower bed beside Shrek Plaza.

The plaza, usually bustling with activity, was eerily quiet at this moment.

The main reason for this was that every student in the Outer Courtyard did not want to lower their initial impression in the eyes of the other teachers.

Therefore, most of them chose to establish a persona of being a hardworking and diligent student to vie for initial favor.

As for Xuanyuan Sheng, he chose to stay by the garden in Shrek Plaza only to wait for Zhang Lexuan.

There was no other reason; he simply needed to rest for a while because his strength had surged over the past few days.

In a short period, his Soul Power Level had skyrocketed by two ranks.

This was something Xuanyuan Sheng had not expected at all; he had merely slept, and the Humanity's Luck around him had surged several times over.

It instantly propelled his Soul Power Level, breaking through to rank 59, and he was not far from reaching the rank 60 Soul Emperor.

Xuanyuan Sheng knew that this was all because the Humanity's Luck on Zhang Lexuan had suddenly surged again.

Although he could not figure out the situation, as long as the Humanity's Luck increased significantly, that was enough.

Currently, Xuanyuan Sheng only knew that his own strength breakthrough would cause the Humanity's Luck to rise accordingly, but he was not quite sure how the Humanity's Luck on others could become stronger.

Normally speaking.

When humanity was born a few years ago, everyone was imbued with some Humanity's Luck.

But whether that Humanity's Luck could eventually become powerful still depended on the individual.

Take the Humanity's Luck on Zhang Lexuan, for example; it was the most he had seen on anyone so far.

As long as Xuanyuan Sheng slowly circulated the Xuanyuan Sword, he could see it through his ocular power.

With the Humanity's Luck attached to his eyes, he looked into the distance and saw a Golden Dragon of Luck, which did not belong to the Douluo World, dancing toward his direction.

"That must be the manifestation of the luck on Zhang Lexuan; this dragon is truly magnificent."

Then, Xuanyuan Sheng turned his gaze to the empty space behind him.

He had no manifestation of luck; any luck that was born on him would be absorbed by the humanity carried by his body, leaving no chance for it to take shape.

Suddenly, Xuanyuan Sheng noticed a strange golden mass condensing in the sky.

To Xuanyuan Sheng, that golden light also seemed to be luck, but it was not the luck of humanity; it was the luck of the Heavenly Dao, the luck of this plane.

The golden mass slowly condensed into a solid form.

Judging by its appearance, it seemed to be a wolf howling at the sky.

As the radiance faded, the wolf revealed sharp claws, strong muscles, and... the head of a husky.

Hmm... a husky?

Xuanyuan Sheng rubbed his eyes in astonishment. He was certain he hadn't seen it wrong; the manifestation of luck in the sky had indeed taken the form of a husky.

The only difference from other huskies was that only the head of this golden husky resembled a husky, while the rest of its body remained that of a wolf.

It was exceptionally comical.

"You are so annoying!"

"Classmate Xiao Xiao, can you tell me where you bought those Milk Pills?"

Following the source of the husky, he discovered that its owner was following behind Xiao Xiao, incessantly saying things that annoyed her.

Xiao Xiao swung her fist: "Stop following me, or I'll punch you away."

The "dog-skin plaster" following behind her still gave her a headache. If it weren't for the fact that the guy behind her was a total weakling, Xiao Xiao would have taught him a lesson with her fists.

He was just a rank 1 Soul Master; she could make him unable to see tomorrow's sun with a single punch. Otherwise, this irritable little girl would have already taken action.

"Classmate Xiao Xiao, as long as you tell me where you bought the Milk Pills in your hand, I will definitely leave," Huo Yuhao said very firmly.

Inside Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, a large white worm twisted its body and asked: "Yuhao, you're not a child anymore. Stop obsessing over that milk; once you become powerful in the future, you can just go and snatch whatever milk you want to drink."

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm raised its eyebrows and cheekily advised Huo Yuhao. If he had the time to buy that milk, he might as well stay at the school gate with Brother Bingmeng selling grilled fish.

At such a young age, instead of thinking about proper things, he spent his days thinking about those worldly delicacies.

Speaking of which, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm still felt a bit nostalgic for the memories of what it had eaten in the past.

Hearing the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm say this, Huo Yuhao suddenly became anxious: "Brother Tianmeng, this thing is very important to me."

His current Soul Power Level was too low, and there was not much soul power in his body for him to use. Even a slight bit of precise usage would exhaust the soul power in his body.

Therefore, the thing Huo Yuhao wanted most right now was the miraculous pill that Xiao Xiao had displayed in class a few days ago; it was exceptionally attractive to him.

Unfortunately, Xiao Xiao was not very willing to talk about it.

However, when Xiao Xiao saw Xuanyuan Sheng sitting by the flower bed ahead, she ran toward him happily. With a single leap, she sat right on top of Xuanyuan Sheng.

That heavy landing made Xuanyuan Sheng feel as if his life was about to end.

This little girl was truly fierce.

Wouldn't a normal person wait for him to get up and then give him a hug? Why did she have to be so different from everyone else?

Xiao Xiao happily hugged Xuanyuan Sheng, cupping his face in her hands: "Xiao Sheng, have you been living well while I was gone? You've gotten even more handsome."

He responded to Xiao Xiao perfunctorily, rubbing his own stomach.

It was fine; he just needed a moment to recover.

However, Huo Yuhao, standing right in front of them, completely ruined the mood by saying: "Classmate Xiao Xiao, could you please tell me where exactly you bought those Milk Pills?"

Xiao Xiao, as if she had suddenly found a backer, tugged on Xuanyuan Sheng's sleeve and hid herself directly in his arms, small as she was.

It was as if she had cut herself off from the world, ignoring the noisy voice entirely.

Huo Yuhao grew anxious immediately; how could she just ignore him like that?

Teacher Zhou Yi valued him and had recommended him to the Soul Tool Department, so he naturally wanted to repay her.

Currently, his soul power was his greatest weakness, and he could only rely on external forces to offset it.

He truly hadn't expected that Teacher Zhou Yi would actually recommend him directly to Dean Fan Yu as a student.

Although the students had recently been saying that the teachers would freely choose students from the Outer Courtyard to be their disciples, he hadn't really believed it at the time.

After all, this so-called Teacher Selection Meeting was an activity organized spontaneously by the teachers, and no teacher was under any obligation to find a disciple; they could easily choose not to waste their time on such a thing.

Yet, it was exactly this kind of hopeless matter.

It was Teacher Zhou Yi who brought light into his darkness, introducing him directly to Dean Fan Yu of the Soul Tool Department.

Regardless, he had to see that pill again.

Just as he intended to step forward, a golden sword engraved with patterns was held horizontally against his neck, the heavy aura emanating from it washing over him and pressing down so hard that Huo Yuhao couldn't catch his breath.

He stiffened his neck and said: "I, Huo Yuhao, have a backbone of iron; I will absolutely not yield to your force, unless she tells me where that thing was bought."

The words he spoke sounded just like a rascal.
