"Good grief, I just got three Mystic Water Pills for free." Huo Yuhao covered his mouth and snickered.
Wasn't this much better than having to apologize?
If he remembered correctly, Mystic Water Pills could raise one's innate Soul Power by one level.
They could also raise one's Soul Power Level!
After taking all three Mystic Water Pills, he estimated he'd reach level eighteen or nineteen.
And his physique would improve even further!
Tang Ya and Beibei came over from nearby not long after Xu Sanshi left.
"Yuhao, how's business?" Tang Ya asked as she took the grilled fish.
"Not bad. I earned my tuition. Brother Bei, here are the ten Gold Soul Coins you fronted me." As he spoke, Huo Yuhao took out the ten Gold Soul Coins and a Mystic Water Pill from the white porcelain bottle.
"This... is this a Mystic Water Pill?" Beibei recognized the pill worth a fortune at a glance.
"That's right, it's a Mystic Water Pill." Huo Yuhao nodded.
"This is far too valuable." Beibei hurriedly refused.
Huo Yuhao said seriously, "What are you talking about? We're all members of the Tang Sect. If you two get stronger, won't that give me someone to rely on?"
"In that case, I'll accept it." Beibei didn't refuse again and took the Mystic Water Pill.
Although he was already above level thirty, that would only reduce the pill's effects somewhat, not render it completely useless.
After seeing Tang Ya and Beibei off, Huo Yuhao packed up and returned to the dormitory.
Inside the Sea of Consciousness.
"Brother Sky Dream, stop sleeping. Come help keep me safe!"
With that, Huo Yuhao tapped Sky Dream Ice Silkworm on the head.
"Fine, fine. You bother me every few days! Where did you get so many things that can raise your Soul Power?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had no idea what was going on.
The only instruction it had retained was to wake up when it sensed danger.
So it had no idea that Huo Yuhao had gotten Mystic Water Pills from Xu Sanshi.
"Don't worry about it. Do you still want revenge or not? I'm working this hard, and you're sleeping all the time!"
"You make it sound like I'm the one who has to get revenge."
As he spoke, Huo Yuhao left the Sea of Consciousness.
"Hey, hey, Yuhao, you heard wrong. I didn't say anything just now." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm panicked.
"Go ahead. I'll keep you safe."
Huo Yuhao didn't hesitate. He immediately swallowed two Mystic Water Pills.
Thanks to Huo Yuhao's astonishing absorption and digestion speed—
Breakthrough!!!
Level seventeen!!!
Breakthrough!!!
Level eighteen!!!
In the end, he stopped at level eighteen.
His innate Soul Power had also recovered to level five!
"Awesome!!!" Huo Yuhao clenched his fists and laughed.
In just a few days, Huo Yuhao had broken through several levels in a row. He was now only two levels away from level twenty.
Just then, the dormitory door was kicked open.
A boy with short powder-blue hair walked in.
His eyes were powder-blue too, nearly the same color as Huo Yuhao's.
Huo Yuhao knew him, of course—or rather, her.
With powder-blue hair and eyes, and arriving at the dormitory at this time, there could be no one else but Wang Dong.
Wang Dong looked down at Huo Yuhao, who was sitting on the bed, and said haughtily, "Hey, you're the one who lives in this dormitory, right?"
"Why did you only clean half of it? I order you to make this place spotless right now."
"Then I'll temporarily allow you to share a dormitory with me."
"Also, I have a few rules. You'd better remember them."
"First, don't bring anyone back to the dormitory without my permission."
"Second, don't take your clothes off in the dormitory."
"Third, don't snore at night."
"Fourth, don't bother me unless you have a reason."
"Fifth, from now on, you're responsible for keeping the dormitory clean, but don't touch my bed."
"Understood?"
Huo Yuhao picked at his ear. "Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. Could you say that again?"
Hearing that, Wang Dong repeated the rules.
Huo Yuhao said earnestly, "Now I understand, but I didn't remember them. Could you say them again?"
Wang Dong clenched his fists, but after seeing Huo Yuhao's expression, he decided the boy didn't seem to be pretending. So he repeated his rules again, word for word.
"Did you remember them this time?" Wang Dong asked, enunciating every word.
Huo Yuhao nodded. "I remembered them this time, but I forgot what they meant. Could you say them again?"
At that point, even a fool would have realized Huo Yuhao was messing with her.
Wang Dong shouted angrily, "You're asking for it!"
Before Huo Yuhao could respond, she swung a punch at him.
"Hey, hey, weren't you just being so obedient?" Huo Yuhao immediately used True Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to dodge the blow.
"Don't make me fight you. If we really fought, you wouldn't stand a chance against me," Huo Yuhao warned.
Until he had grown stronger and gained powerful backing, he had to put up with things when he could!
Wang Dong's background was far more powerful than Xu Sanshi's!
She came from the Clear Sky Sect, a clan that had endured for over ten thousand years!
And it even had a Limit Douluo!
"I can't beat you? What a joke!" Huo Yuhao's words only made Wang Dong more agitated.
"You don't believe me? Let's go downstairs and spar. We don't want to wreck the dormitory."
As he spoke, Huo Yuhao turned his back and headed downstairs.
Of course, he wouldn't leave himself so wide open.
He had already activated Mental Detection. If Wang Dong dared to sneak attack him, she'd be in for a nasty surprise!
At worst, he'd defect early and head for the Body Sect!
"You're not taking me seriously at all. You're asking for trouble!"
Seeing Huo Yuhao expose his back to her, Wang Dong's anger flared up again!
She followed him downstairs.
"Huh? The dorm supervisor's here." Huo Yuhao suddenly noticed someone by the entrance.
He had come to the academy early, so he hadn't seen the dorm supervisor before.
"What are you doing? Are we fighting or not?" Wang Dong asked impatiently when Huo Yuhao still didn't come over.
Huo Yuhao smiled. "I was thinking, just fighting isn't much fun. How about we add some Gold Soul Coins to the wager?"
Wang Dong looked Huo Yuhao's clothes up and down, then asked, "Do you even have any Gold Soul Coins? And you want to wager?"
"I do, of course I do. Three thousand Gold Soul Coins. What do you say?" Huo Yuhao looked at Wang Dong provocatively.
Wang Dong didn't hesitate. "If you dare, why wouldn't I?"
"Grandpa, could I ask you to be our witness?" Huo Yuhao asked.
Mu En: ???
I was lying here minding my own business. Why was he dragging me into this?
Mu En: "I..."
Before Mu En could say anything more, Huo Yuhao immediately said, "Great, Grandpa agrees."
Mu En: "..."
Couldn't I say no?
"In that case, let's settle this!" Huo Yuhao immediately turned around!
True! Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track!
Huo Yuhao appeared before Wang Dong like a ghost!
While Wang Dong was still recovering from the surprise, he immediately used True! Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon!
He pulled Wang Dong toward him in an instant!
At the same time, Huo Yuhao's right hand had turned a lustrous white as it shot toward Wang Dong's face!!!
It was True! Mysterious Jade Hand!!!
