Yuhao, It's That Person! (Please Bookmark)

Upon hearing that the source soul beast for his soul skill was a mutated Wind Baboon, Xian Lin'er's expression stiffened. She forced a smile. What a pity...

After learning about Huo Yuhao's soul skill, Xian Lin'er became even less polite. She had now decided that, no matter the means, she had to keep Huo Yuhao in the Soul Guidance Department!

Next, Xian Lin'er showed Huo Yuhao what a sugar-coated bullet was.

In the end, Huo Yuhao naturally remained in the Soul Guidance Department. With a few minor maneuvers, Xian Lin'er transferred his student records there. By now, she held quite a bit of authority in the Martial Soul Department.

"From now on, you can come here to attend classes whenever you have time. If there's anything you don't understand, come directly to me. If you need to find me, just tap this."

Xian Lin'er handed Huo Yuhao a token. If he had any questions, he could use it to find her directly.

"If I'm not available, you can ask the other teachers instead. Teacher Fan Yu or anyone else will do."

At the same time, this token was a high-ranking token of the Soul Guidance Department. If Huo Yuhao did not understand something and Xian Lin'er was unavailable, he could ask the other teachers directly. They would certainly show the token some respect.

Over the next three months, Xia Liang and Electrolux researched artificial soul rings. Unfortunately, there were still no results. They could only create monsters through Xia Liang, place them in the Douluo Continent for modification, and finally produce soul rings.

Meanwhile, Tianmeng was considering whether he should take Huo Yuhao to see the Ice Empress after he reached Level 20.

Xia Liang might seem easygoing normally, but Tianmeng felt that if the Ice Empress spoke rudely when the time came, Xia Liang would kill her the next second.

Given the Ice Empress's strength, it really would not be easy for her to escape Xia Liang's grasp.

That guy Xia Liang was simply far too overpowered.

Bingbing! You have to behave yourself! Otherwise, your brother won't be able to protect you.

Deep within the Extreme North...

"Ah-choo! Which bastard is cursing me?"

He cultivated diligently during the day, studied soul tools in the afternoon, and fought monsters at night. Every day of Huo Yuhao's was packed to the brim.

Naturally, his efforts during this time had borne fruit. Huo Yuhao had reached Level 19. He was only one level away from breaking through to Level 20 and becoming a two-ringed Soul Grandmaster.

At the same time, the freshman assessment began.

As expected, Huo Yuhao, Xiao Xiao, and Wang Dong were assigned to the same group.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong naturally would not be separated, thanks to some unseen hand. As for Xiao Xiao, she had joined them because she had been attracted by Wang Dong's looks.

Sure enough, Zhou Yi once again gave the three of them the order that they had to take first place. However, aside from Xiao Xiao, neither Huo Yuhao nor Wang Dong took it seriously.

Huo Yuhao did not care about it at all. All he wanted was to cultivate diligently and grow stronger as soon as possible.

Wang Dong felt that as long as he and Huo Yuhao got serious, no freshman could stand against them. It would be the same even without Xiao Xiao.

The main reason their relationship had improved during this time was Zhou Yi. The two had been tortured by her plenty, and they badmouthed her together almost every day. The more they cursed together, the closer they naturally became.

"Oh, right. There's a dinner gathering tonight. Wang Dong, are you coming? Sister Xiaoya will be there too."

After returning to the dormitory, Huo Yuhao spoke to Wang Dong. Wang Dong had accompanied him to the last gathering, and after learning that Tang Ya was the current sect master of the Tang Sect, he had immediately joined the Tang Sect without the slightest hesitation. Huo Yuhao had found it rather strange.

After Wang Dong joined the Tang Sect, he had wanted to pull Huo Yuhao in as well, but Huo Yuhao refused.

Huo Yuhao still had vengeance to pursue. Naturally, he would not join another faction, so he turned him down directly.

That night, Bei Bei and the others came to the same clearing as before. However, just like last time, they had another uninvited guest.

"My, my, what a coincidence. Bei Bei, make room for me."

Bei Bei: "..."

Was this guy really a turtle? How could his skin be so thick?

That was right, it was still Xu Sanshi. This time, he had even brought some small desserts.

"Here, here. These are snacks from my dorm. Everyone, help yourselves."

Seeing the snacks Xu Sanshi claimed were from his "dorm," Bei Bei's face darkened. He shared a dorm with Xu Sanshi. Wouldn't he know whether there was food in it?

But Bei Bei did not expose him. He would just watch this big turtle put on his act.

"Oh, right, Yuhao. The freshman assessment is about to begin, isn't it?"

Xu Sanshi suddenly remembered. After calculating the time, it was about right.

"Mm. Wang Dong and I are on the same team."

Huo Yuhao nodded in reply, continuously turning the grilled meat in his hands.

"Then you two should work hard. Try your best to get into the top three. The rewards for the top three are quite generous."

Xu Sanshi encouraged them. He knew Wang Dong's cultivation level: two rings, with one yellow and one purple soul ring. As for Huo Yuhao, he had heard from Bei Bei that he possessed a ten-year soul ring.

The two seemed to complement each other. If Wang Dong performed well, they might have a chance to fight for the top three.

"It'll definitely be first place."

Wang Dong took a bite of grilled meat and spoke confidently.

As they chatted, a peculiar aura came from nearby.

"Little Xu, want some barbecue?"

At that moment, a cool voice suddenly rang out from not far away. Upon hearing it, Xu Sanshi shuddered. Huo Yuhao looked over in confusion and actually saw a hint of fear in his eyes.

But when he saw the approaching figure, his brows rose as well.

The red figure and that scorching aura were enough for even Wang Dong to recognize her.

"Yuhao, it's that person!"

"Mm."

Huo Yuhao had recognized her too. She was the red figure who had attacked the two of them back then.

Ma Xiaotao saw them as well. She knew that what she had done last time had harmed them.

With a turn of her slender hand, several jade boxes appeared in Ma Xiaotao's palm.

Inside were cultivation resources with spiritual and light attributes, serving as her apology.

"My apology has nothing to do with my teacher."

Since Ma Xiaotao put it that way, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong could not very well refuse. They accepted the medicinal herbs.

"The dark energy inside that little girl is growing stronger and stronger."

Electrolux had clearly sensed that the evil power within Ma Xiaotao's martial soul was increasing. If it was not restrained, she would surely suffer a great calamity in the future.

After giving them her apology, Ma Xiaotao left without lingering and putting pressure on them.

"Yuhao, I wish you all good results."

Xu Sanshi raised his cup of drink. Everyone clinked their cups together, offering their blessings to the two of them. That night's pre-match dinner gathering came to an end.

"Xiaotao, how did it go?"

"They accepted my apology. Why did I have to go in person?"

Ma Xiaotao frowned. It was only an apology. Why had she needed to go herself?

"Sigh."

Seeing Ma Xiaotao like this, Yan Shaozhe sighed, though he did not feel that there was anything wrong with it. After all, her talent and strength were right there.

"One of the people you offended is the young sect master of the Haotian Sect. There may be experts within the Haotian Sect who can resolve the problem in your martial soul."

Yan Shaozhe answered. The Haotian Sect was filled with experts. There might be someone capable of resolving her evil fire. They could not miss this opportunity.

"Then why doesn't the academy just contact the Haotian Sect directly?"

Ma Xiaotao asked in confusion. Why seek out Wang Dong? Why not ask the Haotian Sect directly? The relationship between Shrek and the Haotian Sect should not be that bad, right?

"No one has known the Haotian Sect's whereabouts for the past few decades. Even the academy cannot find them."

Yan Shaozhe shook his head. The academy also wanted to locate the Haotian Sect, but they simply could not find it. He had originally wanted to sound Wang Dong out indirectly, but Wang Dong refused to speak about it, leaving him with no options. The freshman assessment was coming up soon, and there were many other matters to handle.

Being a dean was too difficult.
