Seeing Feng Piaoling, this person was clearly somewhat fearful. The gaze he cast toward Feng Piaoling carried a hint of nervousness and trepidation.

Feng Piaoling said nothing, merely brushing his hand across the Four Symbols Dragon Coiling Belt at his waist to flick out a Gold Soul Coin.

The commoner, who had reflexively caught the Gold Soul Coin, was stunned, only to hear Feng Piaoling say, "From now on, you are responsible for the dormitory's hygiene. As payment, I will give you one Gold Soul Coin every month; this is for this month."

His roommate immediately turned his worry into joy, thanking him repeatedly, "Thank you, thank you! Don't worry, I will definitely keep the room clean." A single Gold Soul Coin was enough to cover his food expenses for an entire month.

As he spoke, he even took the initiative to step forward and fold the quilt for Feng Piaoling.

Feng Piaoling immediately gave him another Gold Soul Coin as a reward for the man to wash his clothes and fold his bedding every day.

In this way, Feng Piaoling gained extra time to cultivate, while the other party was able to resolve his financial distress.

After his roommate finished making the bed for him, Feng Piaoling sat cross-legged on the mattress and began to cultivate the Green Lotus Sword Art.

At present, he had already deduced the fourth level of his Green Lotus Sword Art; he needed to raise it to the peak of the fourth level before preparing to deduce the fifth.

As for his roommate, Feng Piaoling had assigned him a task: to help inquire whether Shrek Academy had any relatively secluded cultivation rooms available for rent.

The dormitory alone was simply not enough for his needs.

After all, what he cultivated was never just soul power, but also Self-Created Soul Skills—or perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe them as combat techniques.

Just as Feng Piaoling was settling in, Huo Yuhao had already returned to his own dormitory.

Because he had arrived early and had not participated in the entrance examination, Huo Yuhao had completed his registration quite early.

He had even cleaned the dormitory.

After finishing all this, he went to the cafeteria to eat.

There, he encountered Bei Bei and Tang Ya, who were also eating in the cafeteria.

Under his repeated entreaties, Bei Bei and Tang Ya finally taught him the incantations for the first three levels of the Mysterious Heaven Skill ahead of schedule, along with the cultivation methods for the Purple Demon Eye, Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, and Mysterious Jade Hand.

"Hmm, this technique is indeed quite good and very suitable for your current situation. Especially that Purple Demon Eye; combined with your Spirit Shock, it should possess considerable power. It can be considered a basic offensive skill for you."

Huo Yuhao had only just returned to his dormitory and was preparing to cultivate when his consciousness was pulled into his Spirit Sea by the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

Huo Yuhao said with a firm gaze, "Brother Sky Dream, don't worry, I will definitely cultivate hard."

"Mm, just keep cultivating along this current path." The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm yawned and said, "I'm sleepy and need to sleep for a while. When this school year ends, I will naturally wake up. By then, the ice-attribute martial soul I bestowed upon you should be able to become your primary martial soul, which will cause you to undergo a qualitative leap."

When mentioning the ice-attribute martial soul, although the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm didn't say anything on the surface, it was actually beginning to worry inwardly.

Originally, it had designated the Ice Empress as Huo Yuhao's second martial soul.

Now that the molted remains were gone, if it dared to go looking for the Ice Empress, it feared they wouldn't even know how they died.

The only plan now was to try its luck.

Once it found a suitable ice-attribute martial soul, it would then find the Ice Empress at the right moment and try to find a way to persuade her to sacrifice herself.

Huo Yuhao hurriedly asked, "Then if I want to find you, will I still be able to?"

Up to this point, he was still completely ignorant about the use of spiritual power.

No one had taught him. He hadn't even had time to cultivate the Purple Demon Eye. He was worried that if he encountered something, he wouldn't be able to find the other party.

"If you encounter a life-threatening crisis, I will naturally help you. Rest assured, I won't let you die; only if you live can I live. Cultivate well, I'm sleeping..."

As the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm finished speaking, Huo Yuhao's consciousness returned to normal.

He couldn't wait to sit cross-legged on the bed, intending to cultivate the Mysterious Heaven Skill he had just acquired.

Just then, a young man walked in from outside the room.

Blue eyes, long golden hair parted in the middle—who else could it be but Dai Huabin?

By now, he no longer recognized Huo Yuhao; after all, several years had passed since they last met and he had bullied the other party. Furthermore, from beginning to end, he had never looked at the other person properly.

Seeing Huo Yuhao and his bed, which didn't even have a bedding roll, he immediately showed a look of disdain. "Bad luck, to actually run into a pauper. Go on, make the bed for this young master."

As he spoke, Dai Huabin tossed a set of finely crafted, high-quality bedding from his storage Soul Tool onto the bed.

Dai Huabin did not recognize Huo Yuhao, but Huo Yuhao recognized him.

His entire body suddenly shook violently, trembling uncontrollably.

With a sudden lunge, he stood up from the bed. His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked at Dai Huabin, breathing like a panting ox.

It was him—how could it be him? One of the culprits who caused his mother's death; how could he run into him even after arriving at Shrek Academy?

And to be in the same dormitory as him, no less?

Dai Huabin had been given the middle finger by Feng Piaoling earlier, and later incited by Wang Dong to gamble against Feng Piaoling, so he was already seething with rage.

Seeing the lowly commoner before him not only ignore his command but also glare at him with a furious expression, the fire in his heart grew even hotter.

Without a second thought, he stepped forward and swung a slap, but it was dodged by Huo Yuhao, who had quickly activated his Spirit Eye Martial Soul.

"Two white soul rings?" Seeing the soul rings on Huo Yuhao, the look of disdain on Dai Huabin's face became even more pronounced.

"A commoner is a commoner indeed, even the soul ring configuration is so base. Today, I will let you see what a true genius is."

"Bring it on, then," Huo Yuhao said through gritted teeth.

Now that he had received the sacrifice of the million-year soul beast Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and had become a Soul Grand Master, he had already grown stronger.

Today, he would seek justice for his mother.

"Then this young master shall satisfy you." Dealing with a Soul Grand Master who only possessed two white soul rings, Dai Huabin felt he had no need to use his martial soul at all.

With white light flickering in his palm, Dai Huabin lunged forward, swinging a heavy, powerful right hook toward Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao dared not be careless; his second soul ring pulsed continuously as he activated Spirit Detection, narrowly dodging Dai Huabin's fist by the skin of his teeth.

However, Dai Huabin was no pushover. Though arrogant, he possessed remarkable talent when it came to combat.

He had already been on guard since the moment Huo Yuhao dodged his previous slap.

Therefore, this punch was merely a feint; the moment Huo Yuhao dodged, Dai Huabin's left hook followed in immediate succession.

Although Huo Yuhao perceived the attack, his body could not react in time, leaving him no choice but to activate Spirit Interference.

This caused Dai Huabin to swing at empty air once again.

With two consecutive punches missing, Dai Huabin could no longer maintain his composure. Enraged, he unleashed a flurry of blows, raining down on Huo Yuhao like a violent storm.

Huo Yuhao attempted to use Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to evade, but having only just begun to learn it, he was not yet proficient. Furthermore, the dormitory was cramped.

He only managed to dodge the first three punches before the fourth struck him squarely in the chest. Like a cannonball, he slammed into the wall, rebounded, and crashed heavily onto the floor.

"So, you're just a hollow shell."

Dai Huabin suddenly felt a sense of boredom. At the same time, he was surprised to find that after beating this lowly commoner, the stifling frustration in his heart had completely vanished.
