After arriving at the Soul Tool Institute, Tian Chen quickly made his way here with the pass Xian Lin'er had given him. A special mark on the pass allowed him to get through the institute's layers of defenses and inspections without trouble.
Tian Chen entered the laboratory, which was filled with advanced soul devices and experimental equipment.
Several students were busy at work. When they saw Tian Chen enter, they nodded in greeting without disturbing him further. He was now quite the prominent figure in the Soul Tool Institute.
"It's you?" Huo Yuhao's voice carried unmistakable surprise and hostility. He turned from behind a complicated soul device and fixed Tian Chen with a knife-sharp stare.
Tian Chen turned his head and frowned. He hadn't expected to find Huo Yuhao here.
