Two Soul-Raising Pills

"Ah!" Huo Yuhao yawned and casually rose to his feet.

"Wang Dong."

Wang Dong sprang up, delight surging through her heart. "Great!"

"Xiao Xiao!"

A petite, adorable girl in a green dress stood up.

Xiao Xiao secretly glanced at Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao turned his eyes slightly toward her and gave her an easygoing smile.

Xiao Xiao's face instantly flushed crimson, and she shyly lowered her head.

Seeing this, jealousy flared in Wang Dong's heart. Aaaah! This girl is another one of Huo Yuhao's fangirls!

Why is that guy Huo Yuhao so charming? Can't he tone it down a little?

Huo Yuhao: I already sealed away my looks. What more do you want from me?

"Group Two: Zi Hao, Ma Qing-shuang, Leng Leng."

"..."

The grouping ended.

"The rewards for those who advance from the elimination rounds are extremely generous. Our academy's wealth is famously abundant."

Zhou Yi's gaze sharpened as she spoke. "Remember this: I want every last one of you to advance!"

"If anyone gets eliminated, not only will they be leaving, I'll also give them an unforgettable lesson! Understand?"

"Yes!!"

Everyone in the class except Huo Yuhao shouted in unison.

Zhou Yi nodded. "Go back and rest well. Prepare yourselves for tomorrow. Class dismissed."

"Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao, you three stay behind!"

Wang Dong hid behind Huo Yuhao, thinking, Oh no... Don't tell me we've been found out...

Inside the office

Zhou Yi said coldly, "Well, well. You three deliberately tried to show me up, didn't you?"

Smack!

"Invincible Department!"

Smack!

"Invincible Department!"

Smack!

"Control System!"

A bead of cold sweat slid down Wang Dong's cheek.

Xiao Xiao remained calm and did not seem particularly nervous.

As for Huo Yuhao, he was already sitting on the sofa, eating dessert.

"You three little brats did this on purpose, didn't you?"

"Huo Yuhao, explain to me what exactly an Invincible Department is."

Zhou Yi asked.

Huo Yuhao smiled calmly. "Naturally, Soul Masters who are invincible belong to the Invincible Department. Is that hard to understand?"

Veins bulged on Zhou Yi's forehead as she gritted her teeth and asked, "Wang Dong, are you also an invincible Soul Master?"

Wang Dong's gaze darted away as she quietly edged closer to Huo Yuhao.

"Wang Dong! What are you hiding for?! You're obviously from the Strength Attack System, so why did you write... Invincible Department?"

"Are you an invincible Soul Master? How dare you write Invincible Department?"

Zhou Yi said pointedly.

Huo Yuhao shrugged, looking utterly unconcerned.

"Uh... well, Teacher Zhou, I'm invincible in the air... so choosing the Invincible Department is perfectly reasonable, right?"

"Reasonable my ass!!"

Zhou Yi gritted her teeth, then took a moment to calm herself. "Don't think I don't know what you're up to. You just don't want to be separated from Huo Yuhao, do you?"

A rosy blush spread across Wang Dong's face, and her heart began pounding faster.

Aaaah! She saw through me! I'm done for!

Huo Yuhao laughed. "What's the point of being in the same class as me? I don't even attend class."

"Shut up!"

Zhou Yi barked.

"You don't attend class, and you're proud of that?"

"Huo Yuhao, change yours immediately. Control System!"

After saying that, Zhou Yi looked at Wang Dong.

"When have you ever seen the Strength Attack System and the Control System split apart?"

"If classes are divided, they're assigned together!"

"Change it back!"

Wang Dong suddenly understood. "Oh, oh! So that's how it is!!"

That's great!

Wang Dong thought happily, then swiftly changed her department to the Strength Attack System.

Huo Yuhao raised his hand. "Teacher Zhou, I'm an Invincible Department Soul Master, not from the Control System..."

"Shut up!"

Zhou Yi rubbed her temples.

"You're really going to drive me to death. There's no Invincible Department among the Soul Master categories. If you have the ability, go establish one yourself."

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly. "Fine. I'll be the founder of the Invincible Department, as well as its only member."

Zhou Yi was speechless.

This guy still loved showing off as much as ever.

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao both thought:

"So handsome!!"

"He has so much personality!!"

"..."

"Lastly..." Zhou Yi looked at Xiao Xiao. "Xiao Xiao, the main function of your Soul-Calming Cauldron Martial Soul is support. Why did you choose the Control System?"

Xiao Xiao replied softly, "Teacher, my Soul-Calming Cauldron Martial Soul is different from ordinary ones."

"It's a mutated Martial Soul called the Tripartite Soul-Calming Cauldron."

"It combines offense and defense. Its defensive capabilities are passable as well."

Zhou Yi asked:

"Xiao Xiao, you know it's best to choose a single direction for your development, right?"

Xiao Xiao answered, "Yes. I mainly chose offense and defense."

"Then that has nothing to do with control!"

Xiao Xiao hesitated for a moment before saying, "I have another Martial Soul."

"It can provide support and control!"

"Ah?!"

Wang Dong and Zhou Yi were startled.

Huo Yuhao smiled as though he had expected it all along.

"So that's how it is..." After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yi said, "Fine, Control System it is!"

"This first assessment is extremely important for your future paths!"

"Only by achieving good results can you become key students the academy focuses on cultivating. In our class, you three are the ones I think most highly of."

As she spoke, Zhou Yi's eyes became sharp.

"You have only one task!"

"That is to win the Freshman Assessment!"

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were both slightly startled, thinking at the same time:

"Champions!!"

Zhou Yi threatened, "If you don't bring back the championship, then prepare to keep training with me forever!"

Huo Yuhao raised his hand. "Teacher Zhou, I don't want to compete."

"Shut up!"

Zhou Yi looked at Huo Yuhao and said solemnly:

"For this assessment, you don't need to fight. You only need to stand to the side and use your Soul Skills to support the two of them."

Huo Yuhao asked in confusion, "Why?"

Zhou Yi smiled. "To train your support abilities. After all, your Soul Skills are support-type."

"Besides, if you compete, how will Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao temper themselves? How will they grow stronger?"

Huo Yuhao refused.

"No. I'd rather spend that time fishing."

Faced with Huo Yuhao's stubbornness, Zhou Yi had quite the headache.

"Fishing, fishing... You're only ten years old. Can't you like something else?"

"What will it take for you to agree to go?"

Huo Yuhao held out his right hand.

"Five Soul-Raising Pills. Give them to me, and I'll go."

Wang Dong was deeply shocked. Huo Yuhao really dared to ask for that much!

"Five Soul-Raising Pills! You really dare to dream, kid!"

"And haven't you already taken one? Taking more Soul-Raising Pills will affect the growth of your Soul Power."

Zhou Yi frowned.

Huo Yuhao shrugged. "If you won't give them to me, then I'll go fishing instead."

"Five is too many. I can give you two at most."

Zhou Yi bargained.

"Deal!"

Huo Yuhao smiled.

Zhou Yi's face darkened. "What a greedy brat."

"Alright, go back! Adjust your condition properly. I believe in your strength!"

After leaving the teaching building

"Whew... That scared me to death!" Wang Dong lightly patted her chest and smiled. "I thought Teacher Zhou was going to give us a serious beating."

Huo Yuhao smiled.

At that moment, Xiao Xiao blushed and gathered her courage before speaking. "Huo Yuhao, can I talk with you?"

"No problem..."

Before Huo Yuhao could agree, Wang Dong grabbed him and pulled him away.

"No need. Huo Yuhao still has to go back and prepare for tomorrow's assessment."

"Tomorrow, you can see her Twin Martial Souls then!"

Xiao Xiao puffed up her cheeks in annoyance. "Damn Wang Dong! Huo Yuhao already agreed to talk to me. Why did you have to interfere?!"
