Diligent Huo Yuhao, Birth of the King of Cramming

The senior sisters immediately surrounded him, smiling as they said:

"Junior brother Yuhao, it's fine now. Let us take you in to pick your dormitory! We guarantee we'll find you the quietest room with the best lighting!"

Huo Yuhao hurriedly thanked them, and surrounded by the group of senior sisters, he walked into the brand-new freshman dormitory building.

In the sea of consciousness, Zhao Ze watched the scene outside and stretched:

"Alright, now that guy shouldn't be in the same dorm as Yuhao anymore."

Electrolux, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke in a deep voice, his tone carrying a hint of gravity:

"That girl is not simple."

Zhao Ze shrugged indifferently, his tone casual yet filled with absolute certainty:

"She is indeed not simple.

But that is not important. What is important is that it is best if Yuhao does not get close to her.

If she dares to come looking for trouble again, there are plenty of ways to deal with her."

Under the suggestions of the senior sisters, Huo Yuhao finally chose a south-facing dormitory on the second floor.

As soon as Huo Yuhao walked into the dorm, he saw a boy of similar age standing on tiptoe to spread his bedsheets on the opposite bunk.

Hearing the commotion, the boy immediately turned around, a carefree smile on his face, and took the initiative to greet him:

"Hello there, new roommate! My name is Cao Jinxuan!"

His voice was bright and easygoing, without a trace of awkwardness, instantly dispelling the reserve Huo Yuhao felt upon entering a new environment.

Huo Yuhao also hurriedly revealed a shy smile and waved at him:

"Hello, my name is Huo Yuhao."

"Huo Yuhao?!"

Upon hearing this name, Cao Jinxuan let the bedsheet in his hands drop onto the bed, his eyes widening as he looked him up and down, his face full of astonishment.

"You're that Huo Yuhao who just enrolled and stirred up the entire freshman district? The legendary star freshman!

I've heard so many people downstairs talking about you, saying you look super handsome and that the senior sisters were practically surrounding you—you're incredibly popular!"

Being told this so bluntly, Huo Yuhao instantly recalled the scene of being surrounded by a group of senior sisters. His cheeks flushed slightly, and he scratched his head in embarrassment, whispering:

"Um... the senior sisters are very enthusiastic."

"That's more than just enthusiastic!"

Cao Jinxuan leaned in with an envious expression, slapping his thigh and wailing.

"I'm so jealous of you, brother!

When I enrolled, I was lugging two big bags of luggage, and there wasn't even anyone to lend a hand, let alone being surrounded by girls!

You've reached the peak of life on your very first day of school!"

Watching his comical behavior, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but laugh, and the slight tension in his heart vanished completely.

This roommate had a cheerful and open personality; he was truly much better than that unreasonable girl with pink-blue hair who had come looking for trouble the moment they met!

Being roommates with someone like this was truly a good thing.

The two chatted while tidying up their luggage, and in the blink of an eye, it was lunchtime.

Cao Jinxuan finished packing his last item, gave a grand wave of his hand, and patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder with a smile:

"Let's go! Brother, it's a great stroke of fate that we ended up in the same dorm. My treat today, let's go to the Shrek cafeteria for a big meal!"

Huo Yuhao didn't stand on ceremony and nodded with a smile:

"Then thank you."

He carefully put away his things, locked the dormitory door, and followed Cao Jinxuan toward the cafeteria.

On the way, quite a few senior sisters recognized Huo Yuhao and greeted him with smiles.

Some even stuffed snacks into his hands, leaving Cao Jinxuan, who was walking beside him, clicking his tongue in envy.

The two soon arrived at the cafeteria, where Cao Jinxuan generously ordered a table full of dishes, and they chatted while they ate.

At the dining table, Huo Yuhao finally learned that Cao Jinxuan's martial soul was the Time-Passing Bell, an extremely rare time-type martial soul on the continent.

"My martial soul, well, it's powerful if you say it's powerful, but it can only really serve as a support soul master."

Cao Jinxuan gnawed on a chicken leg, speaking indistinctly.

"The elders in my family say that once my cultivation level is high enough in the future, it might even be possible to make time flow backward."

"A time-type martial soul that can even reverse time?"

Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up as he listened, his face full of amazement.

"That's too incredible! This is my first time seeing a martial soul related to time!"

"Eh, it's just so-so."

Cao Jinxuan smiled and waved his hand, his gaze landing on Huo Yuhao's eyes as he said earnestly.

"However, your Martial Soul is even more unique. Spirit Eye—that is absolutely a rare and special Body Martial Soul!

I heard my father say that there is even a sect on the continent composed entirely of Body Martial Soul users."

"A sect made up of Body Martial Soul users?"

Huo Yuhao froze instantly, his chopsticks hovering in mid-air.

Having grown up in the White Tiger Duke Mansion, he knew very little about the outside world of Spirit Masters, and this was the first time he had ever heard such a claim.

Just then, the voice of Zhao Ze drifted over from within his Sea of Consciousness:

"That is correct. There is indeed such a sect, called the Body Sect. They possess secret techniques capable of triggering a second awakening for Body Martial Souls."

Huo Yuhao felt a jolt in his heart and hurriedly asked in his mind, his voice betraying his shock:

"Master, then... can my Spirit Eye Martial Soul also undergo a second awakening?"

"That goes without saying."

Zhao Ze's tone was filled with certainty.

"However, for now, do not dwell on such things. Focus on laying a solid foundation first."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao saw a pitch-black wooden stake suddenly appear within his Sea of Consciousness.

"Yuhao, you may enter your Sea of Consciousness now and use Soul Shock to strike this stake. Precisely control your mental power to hone your techniques for manipulating both your mental energy and Soul Power."

Zhao Ze's voice carried a hint of sternness.

"Only when you can wield Soul Shock with complete freedom will your control be considered adequate. Only then can I teach you more intricate things."

"Yes, Master!"

Huo Yuhao nodded heavily in his heart.

With a flick of his will, he delved deep into his Sea of Consciousness, unleashed a Soul Shock, and slammed it fiercely against the wooden stake.

At the same time, on the surface, he continued to eat and chat with Cao Jinxuan, his movements and expression showing not the slightest abnormality.

Under Zhao Ze's guidance, he had begun to attempt multitasking, honing his mental power while eating.

Cao Jinxuan did not notice anything amiss and continued to enthusiastically share various interesting anecdotes he had heard about Shrek Academy.

Huo Yuhao responded with a smile from time to time, yet his Soul Shock grew more precise and more refined with every strike.

After the two returned to their dormitory, Huo Yuhao immediately sat cross-legged on his bed and sank completely into a state of cultivation.

He cherished his time dearly and dared not relax for even a moment.

Time slipped away bit by bit, the sky outside the window gradually darkened, and Huo Yuhao had been cultivating for a long time.

The moonlight from outside spilled onto the youth's face, illuminating his calm features, which showed not a trace of fatigue.

Watching him like this, Cao Jinxuan finally couldn't hold back and couldn't help but ask:

"Yuhao, do you never sleep? It's already night, and you're still going to keep cultivating?"

How did it feel like his roommate was suddenly working so hard?!
