" Yuhao, how did you get this everywhere?!"

"I'll handle Xiao Xiao."

" Xiao Xiao, that's right, just Yuhao."

Xiao Xiao's pretty face flushed slightly from the long hours of labor, and she looked at Huo Yuhao with a hint of reproach.

Huo Yuhao was holding a mop in one hand and spraying white cleaning agent from a small bottle onto the floor with the other, removing the stubborn stains.

Wang Dong'er, Wu Feng, and Vina were standing outside the dormitory with rags in their hands, watching the two cleaning together and enjoying the cool night breeze.

They were currently helping Vina clean her dorm room, something they weren't normally required to do.

However, the dormitory room that the college assigned to Vina had been vacant for a long time, and the dust that flew out when the door was opened made people cough incessantly.

Xiao Xiao couldn't bear to let Vina clean alone, so everyone stayed to help Vina with the cleaning.

"Alright, Vina, you're almost done packing. Also, according to Teacher Zhou's usual routine, tomorrow should be physical education class, so you need to be prepared. Get a good rest tonight, and we'll be leaving now."

"We live downstairs. If you need anything, just come to room 207 and ask us."

After giving Vina some more instructions, Xiao Xiao led Huo Yuhao and the others downstairs.

Vina watched the four people disappear into the stairwell, feeling that the day had been rather strange, but looking at the tidy room, she didn't think much of it.

After calmly packing her luggage, Vina took out a small suitcase from under the bed.

Soon, the dormitory table was filled with a pile of parts of all sizes. These parts were of different colors and shimmered with different lusters, and each one was a special rare metal.

Vina first opened the window, cautiously surveyed her surroundings, and only after confirming that no one was around did she quickly draw the curtains.

However, she did not let her guard down. Fine light patterns slowly appeared on her forehead, extending and spreading to her brain. Then, a jet-black Soul Ring rose up beneath her feet.

An invisible mental wave instantly enveloped the entire dormitory building. After confirming that no one was spying, she slowly withdrew her Spiritual Power, finally enveloping her own room to ensure that Vina could detect anyone approaching while she was doing her work.

After completing all the preparations, Vina finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down at the table.

She quickly adjusted her posture, her nimble fingers picking up the parts on the table one by one. These parts seemed to come alive in her hands, like dancing sprites fluttering and leaping.

Before long, all the parts on the table had disappeared, and Vina dropped her last finger.

Then, a snapping sound!

A faint hissing sound of steam filled the room, and a bionic Soul Tool shaped like a carrier pigeon appeared on the table.

Vina took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the fine beads of sweat from her forehead, making sure no parts were missing.

"Hmm! Finally finished. As expected of me, after two and a half months of systematic learning, I've finally mastered this Soul Tool."

Vina stood up, stretched lazily, and then patted the Soul Tool with satisfaction.

If Huo Yuhao were here, he could clearly see that this Soul Tool has at least a hundred different parts connected to each other, and there are more than three Core Array. Although it cannot compare with the research of the Mitsugoshi Company, it is still extremely rare.

Vina lightly swiped her finger across the storage ring, and a recording stone the size of a thumb appeared in her hand. After whispering a few words, she reached out and pressed her hand against the abdomen of the Soul Tool, inserting the recording stone inside.

After finishing these tasks, Vina calmly tidied the messy desk, then picked up the Soul Tool, stuffed it under the bed, and casually lay down to rest.

As for Xiao Xiao and the others downstairs, they were completely unaware of what was happening. They were exhausted from cleaning Vina's room and had fallen asleep early, leaving only Huo Yuhao wandering around outside.

Huo Yuhao didn't rush back to his dormitory. Instead, he walked along the Sea God Lake. With each step he took, an imperceptible dark purple Soul Power merged into the ground. The seemingly chaotic footprints, when connected, revealed a huge rudimentary array covering the entire Shrek Academy.

This formation is a magic array, mainly used for defense and isolation. With Huo Yuhao's arrangement and the subsequent replenishment of Soul Power from the Shadow Garden, once it is complete, blocking a level 99 Titled Douluo will be no problem at all.

Huo Yuhao has already decided to use this place as his second base for training.

He got this magic circle from Electrolux. Although Electrolux was a necromancer, he was very knowledgeable and had dabbled in many other areas of magic besides Necromancy, so it was not surprising that he had this kind of defensive magic circle.

However, this magic circle was enormous, and it took Huo Yuhao quite a bit of time to complete it, but he was finally able to finish it today.

As Huo Yuhao took his last step, his final burst of Soul Power merged into the grass, and the entire magic circle instantly began to operate without him even noticing.

An invisible barrier instantly enveloped the entire Shrek Academy without attracting anyone's attention. Moreover, many students were already asleep, making it even less likely that they would notice.

Just as Huo Yuhao was about to condense the array's key switch as he envisioned, it transformed into a small black box the size of his palm and landed in his hand.

Huo Yuhao waved to the side, and the space around him blurred for a moment. A member of the Shadow Garden with a great figure appeared next to Huo Yuhao.

"Lord Shadow, Ling Luochеn greets Lord Shadow."

The person who arrived was Ling Luochеn, who knelt respectfully beside Huo Yuhao and greeted him.

Since Huo Yuhao arrived at Shrek, Ling Luochеn and Xi Xi have been Zhang Lexuan's liaisons for him. Huo Yuhao entrusts them with any matters, big or small, that he needs.

It just so happens that it's her turn to be on duty today, so she's here.

Huo Yuhao turned his head and saw that this angle was perfect for seeing Ling Luochеn's impressive breasts. He glanced at them sideways for a moment, then calmly turned his head back.

Huo Yuhao handed the black box to her and said in a low voice, "Give this to 'You' for safekeeping. Go."

"Yes, Lord Shadow."

Just as Ling Luochеn was about to leave, a strange flapping sound of wings suddenly rang out above them.

Huo Yuhao looked up curiously, Ling Luochеn swiftly flew up, returning to Huo Yuhao's side in the next instant, this time with a metal carrier pigeon in his hand.

Huo Yuhao picked it up and examined it for a moment, his eyes flashing with purple light. He then ran his fingertip across the bottom of the stone, and a sound-recording stone appeared in his hand.

As his Spiritual Power probed in, Vina's voice rang in his mind. When the voice stopped, a rare smile appeared on Huo Yuhao's lips.

Ling Luochеn looked at Huo Yuhao curiously, wondering what had made him so happy, and asked, "Lord Shadow, what should we do with this?"

Huo Yuhao stood with his hands behind his back. "Release it first thing tomorrow morning. It will come back then. Also, investigate the girl with the recording stone. You'll know what to do."

Ling Luochеn nodded respectfully, put away the items, and then disappeared from the spot, blending into the night, secretly flying towards the Sea God Pavilion.

After finishing everything, Huo Yuhao yawned and prepared to go back.

"Waaaaah... Waaaaah..."

Not far from the lake, a strange sound of a woman crying could be heard.

Huo Yuhao turned his head and saw the owner of the voice by the lakeside behind the bushes in the distance.

It was her?!
