A legend on the mainland? Since when had the secrets of Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion become common knowledge?
Never mind. Perhaps someone in the Inner Court had spread the story.
Yan Shaozhe narrowed his phoenix eyes.
"Yuhao, I won't hide it from you. Inner Court students are already given one chance to enter the Sea God Pavilion for Deep Meditation, but they have to accumulate a certain number of contribution points in the Inner Court first."
"Fine. Since that's the case, if you're willing to tell the Academy the secret behind the age of your Second Soul Ring, I'll make the decision myself. Once you join the Inner Court, you can enter the Sea God Pavilion for Deep Meditation once."
A moment later, Yan Shaozhe stopped bargaining and readily agreed to Huo Yuhao's request.
Huh? He agreed that easily? That doesn't seem like Dean Yan's style.
Huo Yuhao felt a little suspicious, but Yan Shaozhe had already agreed, so there was nothing more he could say.
As the next successor to Shrek Academy, surely Yan Shaozhe wouldn't go back on his word.
"Actually, the reason I could absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring with my Second Martial Soul is very simple: my body had already reached the requirements for absorbing one."
Huo Yuhao looked Yan Shaozhe straight in the eye and gave his answer.
"It's that simple? A mere Soul Grandmaster with a body strong enough to withstand a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring?" Du Weilun could no longer sit still. His square face was filled with disbelief.
Yan Shaozhe, however, didn't grow impatient. Instead, he asked gently, "Yuhao, may I examine your body?"
Huo Yuhao said nothing and simply held out an arm to Yan Shaozhe.
Yan Shaozhe placed two fingers against the pulse in his wrist.
