What Three Absolutes?

Hearing Luo Yanglu's words, the students who had just been hiding far away and were now gathering around fell silent.

That still wasn't strong enough?

Teacher, just how high were your standards? She still needed practical combat training?

But seeing that Gu Yuena did not refute him and looked as though she was humbly accepting his advice, the students only felt that the gap between people really was huge.

She was clearly already strong to that extent, yet she still wasn't satisfied and humbly accepted instruction. Though she usually seemed cold, perhaps that was simply her personality.

Huo Yuhao was the same. He did not look down on them because of his high cultivation. He was calm and ordinary, completely different from those people who liked to show off the moment they had a little strength. (Wei Xiaofeng: Are you guys taking a jab at me?)

"I've decided. From now on, Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena are my idols!" one student murmured.

In that battle just now, could a Four Rings soul master have beaten the two of them?

He felt it was impossible!

Such peerless monsters were in their class. Just thinking about it made him excited.

Xie Xie also put away his shocked expression. Looking at the battered, ruined field, he clicked his tongue.

He felt that from now on, he would never be surprised by any so-called young genius again...

Seeing that Gu Yuena had taken his words to heart and that the other students also admired the two of them greatly, Luo Yanglu nodded to himself.

Another purpose in having the two of them fight was to convince everyone. That way, later on, when he gave Gu Yuena and Huo Yuhao some freedom to act on their own, the others would not mind.

"In that case, I'll add some basic combat training for you from now on to improve your reaction speed..."

After giving a few pointers, Luo Yanglu let Gu Yuena and Huo Yuhao go cultivate on their own first.

Once the problem had been found, it could be solved slowly. There was no need to rush. Combat experience was not something that could be trained in a short while. He could just let these two freaks spur each other on and improve.

Among this batch of students, the only one who could keep up with Huo Yuhao was Gu Yuena. Perhaps even among the Spirit Pagoda's juniors, only the two of them could serve as opponents for each other.

As he thought this, Luo Yanglu withdrew his gaze, only then realizing in surprise that there was a chill around him.

What was going on? Why did it feel a little cold?

Was it the cold air from the Ice Cones Gu Yuena had turned into just now?

Arriving at a corner of the training field, Huo Yuhao looked at Gu Yuena. "Thank you for helping me cover things up with that final move."

As the controller, Gu Yuena definitely knew how that wind-and-fire tornado had been extinguished. Under those circumstances, her final attack had been Ice Cones. Clearly, she had wanted to help him cover it up.

Although he did not mind the fact that he had a second Martial Soul being exposed, and he also had the ability to conceal it, he still had to thank her for the thought.

Gu Yuena smiled and shook her head.

"It was nothing. I just did it in passing."

For ten thousand years, the Ice Jade Scorpion Martial Soul had only been possessed by the First Generation Tower Master. That was also the main reason some people suspected that Spirit Ice Douluo was the Ice Empress.

If it were exposed, Huo Yuhao's identity would become very suspicious in the eyes of some people.

Although Gu Yuena felt that Huo Yuhao should have a way to hide it, one thing was one thing and another was another. That was his ability, while whether she helped cover it up was her business.

However... having her thoughtfulness noticed by Huo God King really did make her happy.

Gu Yuena: (＞＜)

After secretly delighting in it for a while, Gu Yuena remembered something. "Speaking of which, you..."

"You can just call me Huo Yuhao or Yuhao. Don't keep using honorifics. Right now, we're just two little soul masters without much strength. Be more natural."

Huo Yuhao smiled and shook his head.

"Without strength and all that... you must be joking." Although she said that, Gu Yuena still naturally changed the way she addressed him. After all, according to human customs, this was already proof that their relationship had grown closer. "Did that move just now have a name?"

Before Huo Yuhao could answer, Tian Meng in the Spiritual Sea declared with heroic vigor, "Ten thousand years ago, Yuhao created one move while transcending the world. During his ten-thousand-year slumber, he created another. This time, now that he has entered the world, he can create one more. Three moves in total—together, they'll be called Destroy Tang San's Three Absolutes! What do you all think? After all, we're going to defeat Sea God Tang San!"

"Agreed!" Little Ice Silkworm shouted in approval. "Big Brother Sky Dream is mighty!"

"Idiot, it's Big Brother Yuhao who's mighty!"

"Right, Big Brother Yuhao is mighty!"

"..."

What Three Absolutes? You guys were that good at stirring things up? Why not call it Destroy Winter's Three Absolutes?

Fine, he did not have that much ill will toward Miss Wang Dong'er. He was just afraid of running into her, that was all. It was only a joke.

Thinking this, Huo Yuhao said to Gu Yuena, "Ukiyo-e Frost."

Still, Destroy Tang San's Three Absolutes... should he consider it?

On Huo Yuhao's side, he gradually began living a normal academy life: cultivating, meditating, attending classes, and going to the Mecha Master Association to improve his Side Profession abilities.

On Tang Wulin's side, he also began living a similar life.

Until one day, his roommate Xie Xie called him along to a Snack Street.

"Xie Xie, what good food is there here?"

Tang Wulin looked at Xie Xie beside him. Although Xie Xie was a student from Class One, the dorm assignments had already been settled, and unless a student strongly requested it, they would not be rearranged. They were still roommates now, and their relationship was pretty good.

Earlier, for some reason, Mu Xi, the daughter of President Mu Chen, had wanted to compete with him in forging. She had brought a group of people to block him at the dorm entrance, and it was Xie Xie who had helped him out.

Cold on the outside, warm on the inside—a good guy. That was Tang Wulin's opinion of this roommate.

"You'll know in a bit." Xie Xie waved a hand, not in high spirits.

Xie Xie was in a bad mood. He had gone home recently, only to see his father looking at him with an expression full of regret.

After asking, he found out that his father had already communicated with the academy long ago and had wanted to arrange for him to enter first-year Class Five for some proper tempering.

But he had always behaved himself and had not caused trouble at the academy. The two times he had fought were also to help classmates, so the Dean of Students had never found an opportunity to send him into first-year Class Five.

After learning this, Xie Xie just wanted to curse.

Don't tell me you were hoping I'd enter Class Five, fight my way through the Promotion Match all the way to Class One, and then run into those two monsters?

What kind of father screws over his son like this?!

It was under these circumstances that he had wanted to go out and wander around, and he had called Tang Wulin along while he was at it.

"I'm the local host here, so don't worry. I'll definitely make sure you eat your fill!"

Xie Xie said it casually as he pulled Tang Wulin to a Stewed Beef Pot shop. "Eat as much as you want. I'm paying."

Tang Wulin smelled the aroma of beef and swallowed, his appetite instantly stirred, but he shook his head firmly. "No, this time it's my treat!"

He had said he would treat Xie Xie to food. The reason he had agreed to come out this time was because he saw that Xie Xie was in a bad mood and wanted to keep him company. How could he let Xie Xie pay?

Xie Xie raised an eyebrow and looked Tang Wulin up and down for a moment, then nodded.

"Fine. Since a little miser like you is willing to treat me to a meal, I won't hold back!"

The shop owner was a middle-aged uncle who was very familiar with Xie Xie. Xie Xie called him Uncle Li. Seeing him bring a friend over, he quickly served up two steaming bowls of Stewed Beef Pot, two bowls of white rice, and two side dishes made with greens.

"Eat while it's hot, Xie Xie."

"You got it."

Xie Xie smiled, then began eating and chatting with Tang Wulin.

"How's your Class Two?"
