Goal: Marrow Cleansing Pill! (New Book—Please Bookmark and Recommend)
At the same time, Huo Yuhao's skin seemed to ripple faintly, spreading outward in layers like waves across water.
Amid the ripples, tiny currents of air continuously seeped from his pores. As they burst forth, a strange fluctuation of Soul Power began to form around Huo Yuhao.
During this process, the pale blue mist continuously flowed into his pores, then back out again.
As time passed, the mist gradually darkened in color, while its refreshing fragrance slowly faded.
After a while longer, the scent emanating from the mist around Huo Yuhao's body gradually changed from fresh to fishy and foul, its color growing darker and darker. At the same time, Huo Yuhao's breathing became increasingly calm and steady.
Morning arrived as the sun slowly rose in the east.
Stimulated by the light, Huo Yuhao's expression shifted slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.
"Uh... this manly smell is way too strong!" He glanced at the layer of pitch-black grime coating his body, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
He hurriedly opened the window to air out the room, then rushed into the bathroom and scrubbed himself clean from head to toe.
When he emerged from the bathroom, Huo Yuhao immediately felt refreshed.
As he subconsciously circulated his Soul Power, an unprecedented sensation of strength spread through his entire body compared to before. It felt as though all his meridians had become far more open, while even his limbs and bones tingled with a numb, itchy sensation of growth.
Not only that, but as he sensed the fluctuations of his Soul Power, Huo Yuhao was stunned to discover that his Soul Power Level had actually reached Level 14!
Thanks to the drinking rewards from the Drunken Sword Immortal System, his Soul Power had been at a little over Level 12 by the end of last night.
In other words, that Mystic Water Pill had increased his Soul Power by nearly two full levels, allowing him to break through to Level 14.
"As expected of a pill worth Ten Thousand Gold Soul Coins. Forget cleansing the body—the effect of increasing Soul Power alone is already tempting enough," Huo Yuhao muttered.
Having personally experienced the effects of the Mystic Water Pill, Huo Yuhao became even more certain that pricing the remaining nine Mystic Water Pills at One Hundred Thousand Gold Soul Coins was perfectly reasonable. Not one coin less!
The heaven-defying aspect of the Mystic Water Pill was that it could help a soul master raise their Innate Soul Power potential by one level.
What was Innate Soul Power potential?
To put it bluntly, it was the Innate Soul Power a soul master possessed when awakening their martial soul.
If a soul master had only Level 1 Innate Soul Power upon awakening, then after taking a Mystic Water Pill, it would become Level 2!
This was a direct enhancement to one's Talent and physique, which was why Mystic Water Pills were so precious.
And Huo Yuhao knew that the original owner of this body had been that unlucky kid with only Level 1 Innate Soul Power!
Even after taking a Mystic Water Pill and raising his Innate Soul Power to Level 2, he was still at the bottom of the barrel.
"The Mystic Water Pill's effects are good, but that's all. I wonder whether the Marrow Cleansing Pill in the system can completely change my Talent and aptitude?" Huo Yuhao immediately began looking forward to it.
"The Marrow Cleansing Pill costs 500 Drunken Intent Points. I earned 110 points from drinking yesterday. Today, I'll buy some of that hotel's house-brewed craft liquor again. Ten jars a day, and in two days, I'll have enough Drunken Intent Points to buy the Marrow Cleansing Pill!"
With a plan already in mind, Huo Yuhao stopped wasting time. After quickly washing up, he headed out toward the hotel.
When he arrived at the hotel, Huo Yuhao was surprised to find that it even served breakfast.
So he took the opportunity to enjoy a hearty breakfast there, then packed another twenty-five jin of that craft liquor—the equivalent of five days' worth of drinking. In an instant, he spent 6,000 Gold Soul Coins.
Looking at the Gold Soul Coins in his Space Ring, now reduced by nearly half, Huo Yuhao couldn't help baring his teeth.
"Who would've thought that the Drunken Sword Immortal System needs real money to bring out its true potential?"
"Making money is urgent!"
After finishing breakfast, Huo Yuhao muttered to himself as he headed outside.
Just as he was about to walk out the door, his gaze was instantly drawn to a figure in the corner.
It was a young man with delicate features and fair skin. His large eyes were especially striking, a faint pinkish-blue in color.
His neat short hair was the same color. His handsome face carried a distinctly puppy-like charm, and he seemed about the same age and height as Huo Yuhao. With looks like that, in his previous life, he would undoubtedly have been the school heartthrob.
Pinkish-blue hair? A handsome guy?
No way!
Holy shit! Huo Yuhao immediately cursed inwardly.
Then he looked at the other person's clothing: a white Shrek Academy freshman uniform, the same as his own!
Wang Dong!
The little princess of God King Tang's family!
He hadn't expected to run into her here!
Huo Yuhao immediately felt a headache coming on. Was his cursed connection with Wang Dong'er really this unbreakable?
He had already gone out of his way to avoid her and come outside. Shrek City was so huge, yet he could still run into her just by grabbing breakfast?
If Tang Buddha wasn't secretly meddling and tying together the threads of fate between him and Wang Dong'er, Huo Yuhao would smash all the liquor he had just bought!
That damned Tang San!
Gods were supposedly forbidden from interfering with the lower realm, so just look at the things he had done. He was practically reaching straight in and fiddling with everything himself!
With a look of utter bad luck on his face, Huo Yuhao turned around and left without another word.
To be honest, when he had read the original novel, Huo Yuhao hadn't had a bad impression of Wang Dong'er.
The earliest version of Wang Dong'er had some minor flaws, but nothing too serious.
After all, nobody was perfect.
At the very least, Wang Dong'er had treated Huo Gua quite well and had genuinely given her heart to him.
That later Tang Wutong, though, was the one who had truly disgusted him.
Compared with Wang Dong'er, Tang Wutong was a genuinely fake, manipulative patchwork monstrosity, on par with those insufferable, self-obsessed little fairy girls from his previous life!
But with Huo Yuhao's arrival, the plot had clearly already changed in some ways.
Huo Yuhao felt that even if he didn't dislike Wang Dong'er, for the sake of his own safety, it would be better to get involved with her as little as possible.
With that time, he might as well go have a few drinks!
The freshman registration period had finally ended, and Shrek's East Gate had finally become a little quieter.
Today was the first day of classes for Shrek Academy's new students.
After leaving the hotel, Huo Yuhao used the Token Qian Duoduo had given him to enter Shrek Academy through a hidden passage somewhere in Shrek City, then headed toward the teaching building.
At Shrek Academy, the teaching buildings for students of different grades were different colors, just like their uniforms.
The colors made them easy to distinguish, corresponding to Spirit Rings.
Huo Yuhao arrived at the white teaching building. After glancing at the sign reading "Class Nine" hanging above the second-to-last classroom on the left side of the first floor, he strolled inside.
At this moment, the spacious classroom was already full. Since Huo Yuhao had arrived late, very few seats remained empty.
He casually chose a seat near the back, sat down, and began sizing up his classmates with interest.
Looking at this familiar campus scene, Huo Yuhao sighed. "I only just graduated high school, so why the hell am I back in school again? Damn it, there's no end to this schooling!"
