Zhongli Yu shook her head and stopped Huo Yuhao from saying anything more with a hand. Taking charge as she turned over, she was determined to settle things with him once and for all.
While Huo Yuhao and Zhongli Yu were locked in a fierce, satisfying battle, Bibi Dong in the Sea of Spirit did not stop the condensation of his fourth soul ring. Instead, she deliberately accelerated the process, greatly increasing the speed at which Huo Yuhao absorbed Life Energy.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Electrolux chose to stay far away from Bibi Dong's throne. They could both tell that the Rakshasa God was in a rather strange mood right now—the sort that absolutely could not be provoked.
With an enormous supply of Life Energy replenishing him, Huo Yuhao groaned inwardly. Even though he did not need to worry about running dry, he truly could not withstand Zhongli Yu's repeated squeezing.
It was not until dawn the next day that Huo Yuhao, dark circles under his eyes, finally bid farewell to the reluctant Zhongli Yu—
Having merged with Huo Yuhao for the first time, Zhongli Yu had undoubtedly gained the most. Not only had her injuries completely healed, but her Soul Power had also surged all the way to the threshold of Titled Douluo.
Amazed by Huo Yuhao's special physique, Zhongli Yu was also ecstatic over her increase in strength. However, she truly had to leave Huo Yuhao this time. Having shot up several ranks of Soul Power in a single night, she had to return to Holy Spirit Hall as soon as possible to enter seclusion and stabilize her cultivation.
"Holy Son, I'll wait for you to come find me." Zhongli Yu laughed seductively and lightly kissed Huo Yuhao's lips. She rolled up the bedsheet they had used for their farewell, which held the most precious memory of her life.
At last, he had sent her off. Huo Yuhao wore a bitter expression. He had released himself six whole times that night! If not for the constant replenishment of massive amounts of Life Energy, he probably would not even have been able to stand for registration on the first day of school.
The Life Affinity Physique truly ensured that his descendants would never run out, but his body still needed strengthening. After all, there was no field that could not be plowed—only oxen that could be worked to death.
Wu Feng and the other two woke up later than Huo Yuhao for the first time. In the past, Huo Yuhao had been used to sleeping in because of his modern values, always unwillingly getting out of bed only when the sun was high in the sky.
Although they coveted Huo Yuhao's special physique, Ning Tian and the others simply could not accept the fact that they had completely passed out in the bed of a man who was obviously a lecher.
The three girls hurriedly checked their bodies. Naturally, Huo Yuhao had not done anything, and while that made them breathe a complete sigh of relief, they could not help but question both their own charm and Huo Yuhao's ability.
Sure enough, girls were the same in every world.
"Is Huo Yuhao incapable?" Wu Feng was as shocking with her words as ever.
"Wait, Feng... where are our bedsheets?" Ning Tian's powers of observation were undoubtedly the sharpest among the three girls. She immediately noticed that Zhongli Yu had taken the bedsheets away.
"Could he have taken care of it himself?" Nanmen Yun'er immediately covered her little mouth and whispered in disbelief.
Huo Yuhao had no idea that the three girls had wildly speculated about him after waking up. He forced himself downstairs to the dining room and made something to eat.
What he made ultimately could not compare with the delicious food Ning Tian bought outside every day. Huo Yuhao chewed twice, his face full of disdain. Even in his previous life, he had not been a chef.
Wu Feng and the other two soon came downstairs as well. Seeing Huo Yuhao seated in the dining room with his back to them, Wu Feng hurried over in a few quick steps.
"Yuhao, I went up another rank!" Wu Feng's straightforwardness and boldness had made her the greatest beneficiary among the three girls these past few days. She was now Rank 27. Rising two ranks in three days was nothing short of astonishing.
"Mm... get something to eat yourself." Huo Yuhao's vision swam. He was in his post-sage phase and truly had no energy to deal with the girl.
"Huh?" Wu Feng immediately noticed that something was wrong with Huo Yuhao and could not help crying out, "What happened to you? How did you become this weak?"
Then, as if she had thought of something, she added, "How many times did you take care of yourself last night? Too much is bad for your health!"
Huo Yuhao nearly spat out blood. He instantly realized that Zhongli Yu taking away the bedsheets had caused their misunderstanding. Do I look like the kind of person who enjoys taking care of himself?
Uh, when Huo Yuhao had been young and ignorant in his previous life, he really had done it once or twice...
Pah! Why are dead memories suddenly attacking me?
"Let me help you recover." Ning Tian summoned her Martial Soul. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda had some ability to restore one's condition, and together with its powerful boosts to individual attributes, it was known as the number one Support Type Tool Martial Soul in the world.
"Mm..." Huo Yuhao answered weakly.
"Oh my god!" Ning Tian had just activated her Martial Soul and was about to restore Huo Yuhao's condition when she seemed to notice something. She screamed in shock.
"What is it, Ning Tian?" Wu Feng hurried over. Then she saw it too, and her face looked as though she had seen a ghost.
"What are you screaming about?" Huo Yuhao irritably turned his head, only to see a crystal-clear eight-tiered pagoda quietly floating above Ning Tian's palm.
"Eight... eight tiers..." Nanmen Yun'er murmured. The limitation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul had always been well known across the continent. Aside from that member of the First Generation Seven Monsters, there had never been another case of this Martial Soul evolving completely.
Only Ning Tian herself knew what it meant to break through the limits of an inherited Martial Soul. Unlike the one from ten thousand years ago who had relied on pills, her Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda had genuinely evolved on its own by absorbing Life Energy! What about the future? Perhaps it could even evolve into a nine-tiered pagoda?
In fact, it was not just her. Wu Feng could also sense that a trace of true dragon bloodline within her Red Dragon Martial Soul seemed to have awakened. Nanmen Yun'er was likewise gradually feeling her Martial Soul turn fiercer and more vicious. And all of this had been brought about by the lazy-looking youth before them in just three short days.
"Yuhao, you're finished." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice abruptly cut off.
"Huo Yuhao!" Ning Tian threw herself into Huo Yuhao's arms, grabbing his clothes and wildly twisting her body. This made Huo Yuhao's little brother, which had already gone on strike, unable to resist raising its head again.
"Damn, are you crazy?" Huo Yuhao hurriedly pushed her away. His body truly could not take it right now!
"Thank you..." Only then did Ning Tian realize that she had nearly lost her composure. Her eyes and cheeks reddened together as tears of joy welled up.
"Yuhao, I'll make you breakfast." Nanmen Yun'er beside them took a small taste of the food on Huo Yuhao's plate. She did not care whether Huo Yuhao had already eaten it, but she soon had to frown. Huo Yuhao had originally been good in every regard except his temper, but now she would have to deduct some points from him in the cooking department too.
"You can cook?" Huo Yuhao clearly cared greatly about food. He pulled Nanmen Yun'er's soft waist into his arms. "Then make food for me every day from now on, okay..."
"E-Every day?" Nanmen Yun'er had always been delicate and timid by nature, and she immediately buried her head against his chest.
"Of course. Since my Yun'er is so capable, you should definitely make the most of your greatest strength!" Huo Yuhao said with a grin.
"Hmph, what's so impressive about that? It's just cooking!" Wu Feng snorted, crossing her arms beneath her heaving chest and turning her head away.
Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes. He did not dare hold any expectations for the cooking skills of Ning Tian and Wu Feng, this best-friend duo. One was the king of dark cuisine, while the other would probably have him eating sashimi every day.
The four spent breakfast amid this cheerful atmosphere, then set off together for class at Shrek Academy—
Ning Tian's little villa was not far from the academy, and the four of them were all outstanding members of the younger generation in the Soul Master world. They returned to the academy in only half an hour.
The doors of the white teaching building stood open. Freshmen wearing white school uniforms streamed inside, every one of them bearing the green little monster emblem symbolizing Shrek Academy on the left side of their chest.
Students of different grades wore different-colored uniforms, just like their teaching buildings were different colors.
By the time Huo Yuhao and the other three hurried to the freshman teaching building, they heard the bell ringing. They rushed inside, spotted the sign for Class Nine on the right side of the first floor, and immediately charged in without hesitation.
The spacious classroom was already full. Since Huo Yuhao had arrived late, there were very few empty seats left. He finally found one and sat down, while the other three girls sat close to him.
Only after sitting down did Huo Yuhao have time to observe his surroundings. The classroom was large, and there were a full hundred students in his class. Given that there were a thousand freshmen, there should be around ten freshman classes.
He did not see Xie Huanyue. Presumably, that guy had been taken away by the academy higher-ups and was still in a deep coma from his Martial Soul Evolution awakening.
Ning Tian and the other two girls were simply too outstanding in appearance to keep a low profile. Before long, more and more people turned their attention toward the four of them. Huo Yuhao and Nanmen Yun'er shared a desk, while Wu Feng and Ning Tian sat by the window beside Huo Yuhao.
Who was that kid? Why did he have the favor of three girls who were practically class beauties?
