"Morning Exercise," Oscar and Veya 666

Morning light filtered through the window cracks and fell on the bedding.

When Ye Hua opened his eyes, his nose was pressed against a fluffy fox tail.

The tip of its tail gently brushed against his Adam's apple, the ticklish sensation creeping along his skin and into his bones.

He turned his head, and there was Hu Liena, nestled against his chest, her chin resting on his collarbone, gazing at him expectantly.

There were faint tear stains at the corners of her eyes, face, mouth, and chin.

His short, brown hair was disheveled from sleeping, and the bell rope had broken and rolled to the side.

"What are you looking at?" Ye Hua raised an eyebrow.

Hu Liena tilted her head. "Look at you!"

"I actually get up earlier than you!"

"It seems that having Bai Chenxiang share the burden was the right thing to do."

Ye Hua followed her gaze.

Bai Chenxiang curled up in the corner of the bed, her pigtails disheveled, perhaps because she had once been a steering wheel.

The blanket only covered her waist, and her fair skin shone smoothly in the morning light.

"You were up all night until almost dawn, and you were still sleeping so soundly."

"Is it because I'm physically strong, or because I'm not working hard enough?"

Ye Hua flipped over and pinned her down, catching Hu Liena off guard.

"Why are you so angry so early in the morning?"

"You started the fire, so you're responsible for putting it out!" Ye Hua lowered his head and kissed him.

Hu Liena sobbed and struggled from side to side.

Finally, seeing that she couldn't break free and had been turned over, she could only purse her lips and let them do as they pleased.

Just when Hu Liena thought that was all, Ye Hua suddenly took out a mirror.

"What... what are you doing?" Hu Liena had a bad feeling.

"What do you think?" Ye Hua grinned mischievously, placing the mirror in front of the two of them.

The image reflected Hu Liena's naked body and the shock in her eyes.

"Ye Hua!!!"

"Shh, Bai Chenxiang is still asleep."

"Get out of here!"

But it didn't work.

Hu Liena wanted to close her eyes.

"If you resist, I'll have to use other methods."

There are others?!

I've been with you for so long, and you're still not done with your tricks?

Ye Hua seemed to have found Hu Liena's weakness: the little fox couldn't be watching him during the process!

"Ugh~~"

As dawn broke, the soft moans ceased.

By the time everything was tidied up, it was already noon.

Bai Chenxiang was pulled out of bed by Hu Liena, rubbing her eyes sleepily.

When the three left the room, Lou Gao had been waiting for them for a long time.

The day the Fallen Angel attacked, chaos ensued in the city, and the old man had no choice but to postpone his trip to appease the people.

Let's set off together!

"Night Alliance Leader," Lou Gao stroked his beard, "I've made all the arrangements in Gengxin City, will I go with you now?"

Ye Hua nodded and enveloped him and his luggage with his Soul Power.

Hu Liena had to return to Spirit City and couldn't accompany him. After bidding farewell, Ye Hua tore through space and returned to the Crystal Palace.

Upon seeing the Alliance Leader descend from the sky, the Soul Saint of the Long Night Alliance quickly stepped forward to greet him, "My Lord, Dean Liu Erlong has visited us several times."

"You've come again today, and I'm waiting for you in the side hall."

Ye Hua understood what she wanted to say. "Perfect timing, I'll take you to meet the dean of the Soul Tool Academy."

In the side hall, Liu Erlong was sitting at the table, holding a cup of tea, but he didn't drink it for a long time.

Hearing the door creak open, she quickly got up and was overjoyed to see Ye Hua!

"Ye Hua," Liu Erlong reported, "the Soul Tool Academy has been completed."

"All teachers have started their jobs, and we're just waiting for the students to enroll!"

Ye Hua stepped aside to make way for Lou Gao, "Dean Liu, this is the master craftsman of Gengxin City, Senior Lou Gao."

"I invited him to be the forging professor at the Soul Tool Academy."

"From now on, he will oversee the forging of all Soul Tool parts in the academy."

Liu Erlong stood solemnly.

The legendary craftsman Lou Gao is renowned throughout the forging world and also has a considerable reputation in the Soul Master World!

She immediately straightened her clothes, cupped her hands in a respectful bow, and said, "I have long admired your name. I am Liu Erlong, and I hope you will guide me in the future."

"I don't deserve such praise," Lou Gao waved his hand, laughing heartily, "I'm just an old man, all I know is forging."

"I'm good at teaching students, but I'm completely clueless about management. If classroom discipline gets bad, I'll have to ask the dean for help."

Liu Erlong nodded repeatedly, surprised.

Unexpectedly, Ye Hua was able to invite a titan of the forging world.

These people are so arrogant!

"And this one," Ye Hua nudged Bai Chenxiang, "The young master of the Speed Clan. All three of their clans, each with a single attribute, have joined the Long Night Alliance."

Liu Erlong felt a pang of jealousy upon seeing Bai Chenxiang clinging to Ye Hua.

Another girl being messed with! This is the seventeenth!

Ye Hua saw Bai Chenxiang and heard about the Soul Tool Academy, his eyes lit up, and he patted her on the shoulder.

"Since we're all here, Dean Liu, please give us a tour of the academy!"

"Really?" Bai Chenxiang raised her almond-shaped eyes.

Liu Erlong stood up. "How could I disobey his orders?"

The college was built north of the Crystal Palace, spreading out along the hillside and covering a vast area.

The main building is a six-story teaching building with a clean, off-white exterior.

The doors and windows are large and well-lit, and the open space in front of the building has been leveled into a playground, protected by a soul-guiding array.

Needless to say, it was definitely the teachers' doing, to prevent the academy from being attacked!

The research lab is located in a separate high-rise building, while the practice rooms are underground, divided into eight levels, corresponding to the Soul Engineer levels.

This will prevent high-level Soul Engineer from entering low-level training rooms and blowing the rooms up!

"The research labs are all equipped with individual forging tables and material cabinets, and the ventilation and dust removal systems are also complete."

"The foundry is in the basement, where there is a special smoke extraction and cooling system, and it's also connected to a ground fire, so the temperature is high enough to melt the ore."

Ye Hua was quite satisfied. "This investment is quite substantial, isn't it?"

Liu Erlong hummed in agreement.

"In total, two million Gold Soul Coin."

"I originally wanted to save money, but the Soul Tool instructors all said, 'Better to have none than something of poor quality.'"

"Don't skimp on necessary expenses." Ye Hua wasn't worried about the cost; his wealth was already astronomical.

"If you're short on money, just ask Ning Fengzhi; it'll be considered a share of your monthly Soul Tool sales."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a muffled thud came from underground.

Liu Erlong was embarrassed, "This... the soundproofing of the underground practice room only covered the front, back, left, and right sides, not the top and bottom."

"My negligence has now been addressed."

The ground trembled slightly, and even the Soul Guidance Lamp on the wall shook twice.

Feeling inspired, Ye Hua went straight to the practice room.

The door wasn't closed properly, and beams of light shone through the crack.

Pushing open the door, the Guardian arrays on all four walls were fully activated, and the floor was paved with a special buffer stone slab.

The person using the practice room was a young woman with long brown hair tied in a high ponytail, and a dagger strapped to the top of her leather boots.

With leather armor and knee pads, he doesn't look like a student, but rather a hunter roaming the forest!

"Veya?" Ye Hua didn't interrupt.

She raised her hand, and at the front of her arm armor, Soul Power bullet, compressed to its maximum, was concentrated.

Visible light patterns swirl rapidly across the metal surface.

She took a deep breath and suddenly pushed the arm armor forward!

The light bullet slipped from his hand and slammed hard against the target stand, exploding in a blinding burst of light!

It blasted a fist-sized dent into a metal target frame that was half a person thick!

"Beautiful!" Oscar clapped and handed him a water bottle.

But Veya was not satisfied and sighed.

"Seventh experiment, failed."

"Insufficient power; it was originally intended to create a crater the size of a watermelon!"

She was about to continue trying when she caught a glimpse of a figure at the door, and her movements froze instantly.

In a flurry of activity, he tried to remove the arm armor, but his Soul Power hadn't been fully withdrawn yet!

The arm armor hissed and emitted blue smoke, startling her so much that she almost threw it away!

"Night Alliance Leader!" The little girl stood at attention.

Oscar saw Ye Hua, quickly put down his water bottle, straightened his back, and greeted him, "Teacher Ye!"

Ye Hua waved his hand, "Don't be nervous, the device is for people to use, especially our own people."

Veya finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The academy's Soul Tool instructor made no attempt to hide his admiration, "Alliance Leader, Miss Veya truly has talent!"

"Long before I met her, she had already tried to disassemble Soul Tool and study their principles."

"They met me by chance at the academy, sought my guidance, and made rapid progress, now able to independently create a level-five Soul Tool!"

"Level-Five Soul Engineer?" Ye Hua nodded. "His own cultivation is only at the Soul Ancestor. To have reached this level is quite remarkable."

Veya quickly waved her hand, "Don't flatter me, I'm just... just a material-consuming machine, a money-spending machine!"

"If it weren't for Oscar being willing to pay for my ore and carving tools, I wouldn't have been able to afford to practice at all!"

Oscar chuckled, scratching the back of his head. "With my Sausage Martial Soul, I can certainly make and sell some sausages to replenish my Soul Power."

Ye Hua looked at the two of them, his gaze shifting back and forth between Oscar and Veya.

A simple-minded city boy and a hunter in Frosty Forest?

Hmm~~~

Ye Hua tried hard to suppress a smile, "Veya, since you have talent, then practice hard."

"Level-Five Soul Engineer is just the beginning. At Level-Six Soul Engineer, you can try to develop your own Soul Tool."

Veya blinked, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"However," Ye Hua changed the subject, "Your strength is too low."

"We can't let our strength hold us back, can we?"

"Here, these things are for you, consider them a little surprise."

When Veya saw Ye Hua take out his item, she froze in shock!
