Display of Abilities, Crying New Students!

Meanwhile, Shrek City.

Not long ago, Huo Yuhao had reached an agreement with the Skydream Iceworm in the Star Dou Forest, and they would work together toward their plan of becoming gods.

Shrek Academy was already in sight. He was about to register for enrollment.

"Wait, Yuhao!" Skydream Iceworm said urgently. "Don't go in yet!"

"Huh? What is it, Brother Skydream?"

Huo Yuhao clearly had no idea what was happening, but he could distinctly sense the urgency in Skydream Iceworm's tone.

"Inside your academy... there's the aura of those guys!"

Skydream Iceworm paused, as though recalling some terrifying memory.

"It's definitely them!"

"Who would've thought? Who would've thought they could actually come to Shrek Academy..."

"Brother Skydream, why can't I understand what you're talking about?" Huo Yuhao was still completely bewildered.

"They're the ones who once coveted my cultivation... There's no mistaking this aura!"

Thinking of his miserable past, Skydream Iceworm could not help but tremble.

"You mean there are hundred-thousand-year soul beasts in the academy?! How is that possible?!"

Huo Yuhao trusted Skydream Iceworm greatly, but he was still shocked.

"Anyway, wait before registering."

Skydream Iceworm fell silent for a moment. "That aura can't be wrong! It's definitely one of those who once hunted me!"

"Go tomorrow instead."

"If they really are those guys... I believe they definitely won't escape the notice of Shrek Academy's experts!"

Seeing how insistent Skydream Iceworm was, Huo Yuhao naturally would not go against him.

Huo Yuhao called out to Bei Bei and Tang Ya, who were leading the way ahead, made up an excuse, and postponed his enrollment until the next day.

There were still three days left before registration closed anyway.

Before parting, Bei Bei thoughtfully told Huo Yuhao where his dormitory and class were, telling him to come find him if anything came up.

Watching the two leave, Huo Yuhao let out a soft sigh.

"Let's go. I can't afford a hotel. I just hope the inns in Shrek City aren't too expensive."

Skydream Iceworm did not respond again. He merely kept pondering who the owner of that aura could be.

"So familiar... but why can't I remember?"

Ling Feng knew nothing of Mu En and Skydream Iceworm's surprise.

When Ling Feng opened his eyes again, everything around him had become incomparably clear. Even while sitting on the bed, he could clearly see the faint rust marks on the doorframe several meters away.

"This eyesight... it's absolutely HD!"

That was the advantage of having the Spirit Eyes as a martial soul!

Not only had his vision improved, but his spiritual power and perception had increased as well.

Ling Feng could even clearly sense what was behind him, as though he had grown eyes in the back of his head.

What delighted Ling Feng even more was that, as he activated his Spirit Eyes, two purple soul rings appeared around his body.

"Only thousand-year? That shouldn't be right..."

Ling Feng's confusion did not last long before it was quickly replaced by delight.

His first soul ring lit up, and every dormitory on the entire first floor appeared in his mind as a three-dimensional image.

He could clearly see what the students in every room were doing. Any change would be reflected in his mind immediately, as though he were watching an all-around live broadcast.

Spiritual Detection!

As one of the most practical abilities of Skydream Iceworm's million-year soul ring, the importance of Spiritual Detection went without saying.

Even if Ling Feng could choose his own soul skill, Spiritual Detection would absolutely be his first choice.

With it, his opponents were practically running around naked in front of Ling Feng.

It was far too useful!

Of course, if his first soul skill only had one ability, how could it be called a Huo Yuhao template?

Spiritual Sharing, Spiritual Interference, Soul Shock.

Together with Spiritual Detection, all four soul skills were present within Ling Feng's first soul skill.

Not only that, even Huo Yuhao's second soul skill, Simulation, had become Ling Feng's second soul skill as well!

"If that's the case..."

Ling Feng slowly withdrew his Spirit Eyes. The two thousand-year soul rings around him vanished, only for one yellow and one purple soul ring to emerge around his body!

As the soul rings appeared, a terrifying sovereign pressure emanated from Ling Feng's body. An extreme chill spread silently, frosting the entire dorm room in the blink of an eye.

Just then, there was a knock at the dormitory door.

"Hey, could I borrow a rag? The dorm is too dirty..."

The door opened in response. A freshman pushed it open with one hand while carrying a half-filled basin of water in the other.

"Ah!"

Before the freshman could even step inside, Ling Feng's terrifying aura frightened him into falling to the floor. The basin slipped from his hand, and the water was about to drench him like a soaked rat.

Yet in that brief instant, the spilled water froze before it could touch him, harmlessly pelting his body as ice.

"I-I just came to borrow a rag..."

The freshman's voice was trembling on the verge of tears. He stared at Ling Feng helplessly, looking as though he were about to burst into tears.

Ling Feng happened to notice that the freshman's pants had suddenly become wet, only for the patch to freeze over in an instant.

This...

Everything had happened too quickly. Ling Feng was still not used to the ability he had just obtained, so he awkwardly withdrew his martial soul.

"Sorry, classmate. I didn't do it on purpose. I was just testing a soul skill. The rag is..."

Ling Feng scratched his head sheepishly. Just as he was about to step forward and help the freshman up, the boy scrambled to his feet ahead of him and fled from Ling Feng's dorm room with a scream, leaving even the basin behind.

The commotion was so loud that quite a few freshmen poked their heads out of their dorm rooms to look around.

Some who were simply there to watch the excitement did not even know what had happened, yet were already shouting things like, "They're fighting!"

The disturbance quickly drew over the teacher on duty.

Ling Feng explained himself repeatedly, but the teacher on duty did not believe him.

With no other choice, he released his martial soul again and unleashed the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's pressure without holding anything back.

However, when releasing his martial soul, Ling Feng deliberately held something back, using Simulation to change his soul rings from their original two purple rings into one yellow and one purple ring.

As a four-hundred-thousand-year ferocious beast and one of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Extreme North, even a Titled Douluo would be startled if caught unprepared, let alone the teacher on duty before him.

Though the teacher's reaction was not as exaggerated as that freshman's, the shock on his face was no less evident.

Only after personally experiencing the pressure of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion martial soul did the teacher on duty believe Ling Feng's explanation.

After repeatedly reminding Ling Feng to keep his door shut while cultivating, the teacher finally allowed him to return to his dorm room.

After closing the door, Ling Feng let out a sigh of relief, his face brimming with delight.

It was exactly as he had guessed.

The Huo Yuhao template granted by the system had not merely given Ling Feng an additional Spirit Eyes martial soul—it had also evolved his original Ice Scorpion martial soul into the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion!

Not an ordinary Ice Jade Scorpion, but the same Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion as Huo Yuhao's!

With this, Ling Feng's martial souls were now completely identical to Huo Yuhao's.

As Ling Feng fully received the check-in reward, the system's voice rang out in his mind once more.

"Next plot check-in location: Sea God Lake. Reward: Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue."

"Detected that the host has reached the level-thirty bottleneck. A successful check-in will additionally grant two God-Bestowed Soul Rings!"
