While the three girls were still in the rented room trying to figure out Huo Yuhao's true background, Huo Yuhao had already gone to Xie Huanyue's dorm room to prepare for some unspeakable business together.

Following the records in an ancient text, Xie Huanyue took off his clothes and lay on the bed. His plump face wore a serious expression as he held a cup containing Sun God Ape marrow. After hesitating again and again, he finally said to Huo Yuhao, "Come on, Yuhao."

"Fatty, don't make it sound so weird." Huo Yuhao covered his forehead with a hand. If he had not sealed the entire room with Spiritual Power the moment he entered, who knew what outsiders might think if they heard that? His lifelong reputation would be ruined.

"Ha ha!" Xie Huanyue immediately realized what he had said and grinned wickedly. "You know, if I were really a girl, I might just fall in love with you!"

"Get lost."

Huo Yuhao knew the guy was trying to relax himself this way. Never mind whether that bottle of bloodline marrow would work—being directly struck by Spiritual Power was incredibly fatal to the brain, the most complex structure in the human body.

With one careless mistake, his bloodline might evolve and purify, but he himself could turn into an idiot.

That was unacceptable to both of them.

"Are you ready? I'm starting." Xie Huanyue grossed Huo Yuhao out once more, then a flash of resolve crossed his face. He opened his mouth and poured the bottle of unknown liquid down his throat.

As soon as the marrow entered his stomach, Xie Huanyue's face visibly turned red. Before long, bloody vapor began rising from his entire body, making for an extremely horrifying sight.

"Fatty, hang in there!" Huo Yuhao gave him a worried look. He could hardly imagine the pain of having all the fat and blood in one's body boil.

Perhaps upon reaching some critical point, all the fat on Xie Huanyue's body began convulsing. His facial features twisted and shifted across his fleshy face, and he looked to be in terrible agony. Enduring the intense pain, he shouted at Huo Yuhao, "Yuhao, do it!"

Mental Impact, one of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's four Million-year soul skills, had long since finished charging. The instant Xie Huanyue finished speaking, Huo Yuhao condensed his Spiritual Power, at the absolute limit Xie Huanyue could withstand, into a massive spiked club and smashed it down at him.

Yes, smashed.

Xie Huanyue seemed to suffer a devastating blow. His pupils instantly lost focus, blood flowed from all seven orifices, and he collapsed on the spot like a sudden corpse.

Although Huo Yuhao had held back tremendously and used at most one or two tenths of his Spirit Domain Realm Spiritual Power, it was still not something an ordinary Soul Elder could endure.

"Did I just kill him?" Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched. Dragon God Douluo Mu En was downstairs. While he would not spy on the students' private lives in their dorms, he certainly knew exactly who had entered which dorm room. If Xie Huanyue really died like this, Huo Yuhao would have to pack up and flee tonight. He could forget about any future opportunities as well.

"Your Majesty, help me check his condition." Not caring about the fatty's greasy body, Huo Yuhao hurriedly placed a hand on Xie Huanyue's chest and mobilized his Soul Power to examine him.

"His heart has stopped beating, his blood has stopped flowing, and his brain nerves are slowly ceasing activity as well." Bibi Dong gave the results bluntly.

Huo Yuhao's expression immediately changed. Damn fatso, are you sure that ancient book was reliable? You're going to get me killed!

"Then what do we do? If the Dragon God Douluo downstairs discovers this..." Huo Yuhao instantly lost all will to live and collapsed onto the floor. The moment he removed the Spiritual Power barrier, the old man would immediately notice the vanished aura in the room.

"I'll try stimulating his heart meridians with divine power." Bibi Dong let out a resentful sigh. She had not known anything about Sun God Apes either, so she had allowed Xie Huanyue and Huo Yuhao to experiment as they pleased. And now, something had gone wrong. Something very wrong.

"Your Majesty, my life is in your hands this time." Within the Sea of Spirit, Huo Yuhao wept bitterly as he crawled to Bibi Dong's legs, tears and snot streaming down his face as he complained.

"Move aside. Don't distract me." Bibi Dong irritably wanted to kick him away again, but Huo Yuhao reacted quickly and hugged her thigh, refusing to let go.

Knowing this version of Huo Yuhao was utterly shameless, Bibi Dong could only grit her silver teeth and decide to settle the score later.

Second by second, time passed. A normal human body simply could not directly contain divine power. Even Huo Yuhao could only receive it through Bibi Dong's Spiritual Power, and the amount had to be controlled. In Xie Huanyue's current state, even a trace of Rakshasa Divine Power could make him explode. That would make the situation even worse.

About half an hour later, Bibi Dong withdrew her divine power, her expression exceedingly strange.

"Your Majesty, how is he?" Huo Yuhao was still happily hugging her thigh. Mm, so soft.

Smack!

Huo Yuhao was still sent flying by a slap. Bibi Dong dusted off her hands. "I don't know what kind of body your companion has. Although all his life functions have stopped, his soul still remains in his body. He does not seem to be completely dead."

"As long as he's not dead, that's fine. Heh heh." Huo Yuhao finally relaxed. Back in the real world, he was about to withdraw the hand examining Xie Huanyue's body.

Thump!

A powerful heartbeat suddenly rang out. With his palm pressed to Xie Huanyue's chest, Huo Yuhao's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly leaned in to listen and faintly heard Xie Huanyue's heart beginning to beat violently.

Thump, thump! Xie Huanyue's chest was visibly heaving now, though with his obese build, it looked more like a heap of fat jiggling wildly.

Thump thump thump thump thump thump... The violent pounding of Xie Huanyue's heart merged into an unbroken rhythm, like the beat of a leaping drum—

Xie Huanyue's fat body convulsed, then steam erupted from it once again. This time, the amount was astonishing. The steam rapidly cooled and condensed in midair, becoming a grease-like liquid by the time it fell back to the floor. Nearly every pore on his body opened wide, releasing it freely. His formerly bloated body visibly contracted inward, while his thick limbs gradually slimmed down toward normal human proportions. Even his waist, which had once measured over five feet around, gradually returned to normal as his muscles and Bones shrank.

Huo Yuhao had no choice but to move farther away. If that body grease evaporated and cooled onto him, he probably would not be able to wash it off even after a full day and night.

Very soon, Xie Huanyue's dorm floor was covered in grease, while his Life Force became increasingly powerful. According to Bibi Dong, he was currently undergoing a slow awakening, with his consciousness immersed in the Sea of Spirit. He likely would not wake up anytime soon.

It seemed the most dangerous moment had passed. Fatty, the rest is up to you. Huo Yuhao helped move Xie Huanyue's belongings to higher places beyond the reach of the fat, then silently left. There were still two days before the academy's new school year began. He did not know whether the guy would make it in time.

With no other choice, Huo Yuhao found Mujin at the new student registration assessment area and briefly explained Xie Huanyue's secluded cultivation. Xie Huanyue was not in Class Nine; he had chosen random assignment. Huo Yuhao sought out Mujin in hopes of getting Xie Huanyue assigned to their Class Nine. At the very least, the few of them could look after one another before the freshman assessment three months later.

As the sky gradually darkened, Huo Yuhao had no choice but to head back to the rented room. Although today's gains had not included the space-attribute soul bone he had been longing for, he was satisfied to have found a future powerhouse like Xie Huanyue as a companion. Besides, he was in no hurry to absorb his third soul ring. Being too outstanding would sooner or later draw the attention of those people in Sea God Pavilion, and that would not be worth it.

Remembering the tenderness of that morning, Huo Yuhao could not help licking his lips. He was hard as iron. After gaining his first and second soul rings, his already exceptional physical constitution had improved even further, to an unimaginable degree. Naturally, his physical desires had also become harder to restrain.

If Zhongli Yu were still by his side, he probably really would not be able to hold back, would he? As Huo Yuhao walked toward his residence, recalling every little moment with that Holy Maiden, he wondered what the Holy Spirit Cult would think now that they were separated. Yet the Mental Imprint Zhongli Yu had planted in him years ago still rested quietly in Huo Yuhao's Sea of Spirit. Perhaps that was why the Holy Spirit Cult was not afraid of him escaping.

An hour later, Huo Yuhao arrived at the door of the rented room. He calmly took out his key and was about to unlock the door when the beautiful faces of Wu Feng and the other two girls surfaced in his mind. Those three girls had probably moved out tonight. After all, his attitude last night had been rather harsh.

The door opened, and Huo Yuhao saw three pretty faces filled with resentment standing at the entrance, as though they had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Th-this... what's going on?" Cold sweat ran down Huo Yuhao's back. He did not think he had offended them that badly, had he?

Were they going to kick him out? Please, no. With all the fat on Xie Huanyue's body evaporating, the grease filling that room would inevitably spill out and flow through the entire building. By now, that dorm building probably reeked of body grease.

"Why are you only getting back now?" Wu Feng strode forward viciously and grabbed Huo Yuhao's arm, like a starving wife catching her husband returning from a business trip.

Ning Tian grabbed his other arm while Nanmen Yun'er pushed against his back, forcing him onto the bed.

Only after being pushed down did Huo Yuhao notice that the two large beds in the room had somehow been shoved together by the three girls. The girls were now slowly closing in on him.

"Y-you, what are you trying to do?" Terror appeared on Huo Yuhao's face as he repeatedly scooted backward. He had seen desperate women in films in his past life, but never any this ferocious.

"What's a big man like you scared of? It's your good fortune that I want you!" Wu Feng declared with shocking bluntness as she reached out to strip off Huo Yuhao's clothes.

"So it really is like this!" Nanmen Yun'er cried out. Her beautiful eyes shone brightly, practically like ballroom lights. She discovered that the immense Life Energy flooding toward Huo Yuhao was even purer than it had been last night.

Ning Tian's eyes immediately turned red. If she alone could absorb this, then within ten years, she could evolve her martial soul into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda unique to the ancestor who had become a god. Forgetting all restraint, she threw herself into Huo Yuhao's embrace like a swallow and directly claimed the spot on his chest.

Huo Yuhao keenly sensed Bibi Dong in the Sea of Spirit beginning to work on his fourth soul ring. There was no doubt that the surging Life Energy was her doing. Huo Yuhao did not know whether to laugh or cry. Your Majesty, did you really have to add fuel to the fire at a time like this?

"What? Are you dissatisfied?" Bibi Dong leaned against her imperial throne, her crossed long legs gently swaying as she sneered with a half-smile.
