Chapter 80 A Difficult Situation
The war soon became irrelevant to Huo Yuhao.
When everyone learned that Ma Xiaotao actually wanted to stay in Huo Yuhao's dormitory that night, the right to stay overnight each night became the focus of their struggle.
As for who can stay, how to stay, how long to stay, and how often to rotate?
Everything had nothing to do with Huo Yuhao anymore. The ten people chattered and argued, without taking Huo Yuhao's opinion into account at all.
In the end, the ten people were divided into five groups. Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen, the sworn enemies from the inner courtyard, were forced to team up by the other eight people from the outer courtyard. Wang Dong'er and her new roommate Xiao Xiao formed a team. The Lan sisters naturally teamed up together. Ning Tian pulled Wu Feng along. Nanmen Yun'er was extremely glad that she had brought Cui Yajie along.
After discussion, rock-paper-scissors, and a comparison of strength, the five groups finally decided that Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen would win the right to stay overnight. Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao would stay overnight the next day, Ning Tian and Wu Feng the third day, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo the fourth day, and Nanmen Yun'er and Cui Yajie the fifth day, and so on, in rotation.
Huo Yuhao smiled bitterly, feeling utterly helpless. He had lost control of his own dormitory, and he had no choice but to accept it.
Wang Dong'er even took out the room key she had secretly kept and handed it to Ma Xiaotao. After discussing it, the group decided to have a key made tomorrow to ensure that everyone had one.
Huo Yuhao watched the scene unfold before him with utter despair, and sighed inwardly, "Destroy it! Hurry up!"
Eight months passed in the blink of an eye. Surrounded by a group of beautiful women, Huo Yuhao continued to improve his skills in martial soul and soul tool cultivation. It is worth mentioning that he achieved considerable success in both areas.
After such a long period of hard work, he successfully cultivated his soul power to the bottleneck of level 40, and he also became a level 3 soul master in the production of soul tools.
When discussing these achievements, both Xianlin'er and Qian Duoduo were full of praise.
Level 37 may seem like only three levels away from level 40, but in reality, each level up requires twice or more of the total soul power cultivated before. Therefore, many people reach the Soul Venerable realm at a young age, but it may take at least four years to reach the Soul Sect level of 40.
To break through to the Soul Master level at twelve or thirteen, and then to the Soul Grandmaster level four years later at sixteen or seventeen, is an achievement sufficient to graduate from Shrek Academy. And to graduate from Shrek Academy, even just from the outer academy, would be enough to surpass over ninety percent of Soul Masters across the entire continent.
So, Huo Yuhao, who is only twelve years old, has already reached the level of a quasi-Soul Master at level forty, and he also possesses an extremely difficult-to-cultivate martial soul attribute.
This person is truly blessed by heaven!
When all the high-ranking members of Shrek Academy learned of this news, they couldn't help but agree more with Elder Mu's guess that Huo Yuhao's second spirit was definitely a god-level spirit, just like the Spirit Hall's inherited spirit, the Six-Winged Angel!
Of course, Huo Yuhao wasn't sure if their guesses were reasonable. The reason his cultivation had improved so quickly was actually the result of absorbing two ferocious beast soul bones along with a 100,000-year-old snow lotus.
Initially, Huo Yuhao's body couldn't absorb the sudden surge of soul power, so Tianmeng sealed it within him. As Huo Yuhao slowly broke the seal and absorbed it bit by bit, even just a small fraction, his current achievements were well-deserved.
As for his second martial soul, Huo Yuhao still believed Xue Di's explanation, a view shared by Ilex, Tianmeng, and Bing Di.
That is, the Ice Chimera was never fully awakened!
Although Ice Phoenix and Ice Emperor became the souls of his second martial soul, Ice Phoenix was still dormant in its egg, and it was unknown when it would wake up.
On the other hand, under the influence of the power of the stars, his second martial soul has always been in an incomplete state. In other words, if Huo Yuhao can obtain a higher quality Ice Soul Beast soul to integrate into him in the future, his martial soul will be able to undergo further transformation.
Electrolux said that this was the symbol of change and the infinite power of creation that the power of the stars within him bestowed upon his second martial soul.
Returning to the topic of Huo Yuhao's level three Soul Guidance Mastery, the Soul Guidance Devices he originally promised to give to Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao over the past eight months have ultimately become gifts for ten people in total. Wang Dong'er particularly likes the pink and blue jade hairpin that Huo Yuhao gave her. This hairpin is a Soul Guidance Device that combines defense and support, and it's also perfect for wearing as an accessory.
Xiao Xiao's bracelet is a bluish-green jade bracelet. In terms of function, it is not much different from Wang Dong'er's, except that the auxiliary effects are different. Wang Dong'er's bracelet mainly increases the light attribute, while Xiao Xiao's bracelet increases speed.
Among the others, Ning Tian received a glass pendant, the Lan sisters received a pair of sapphire rings, Ma Xiaotao received a pair of red jade earrings, Ling Luochen received a pair of ice jade earrings, Nanmen Yun'er received a light green feather-shaped bracelet, Wu Feng received a red wristband, and finally Cui Yajie received a pair of pink earrings.
All ten people's accessories are soul tools that combine defense and support. Their defensive effects are roughly the same, but their support effects vary.
However, Huo Yuhao's current abilities are indeed insufficient. Soul Emperors and Soul Kings like Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen can only use this item as a mere ornament, as the difference in skill level is too great, and its effect is limited.
Huo Yuhao had no choice but to say that he would upgrade his skills when he was more capable.
It was still by the Sea God Lake, still dusk and a campfire, still eleven people, still Huo Yuhao cooking alone while the others enjoyed the meal.
A semester has passed. Although everyone is competing with each other, and Huo Yuhao has to go through the interrogation of "What did those guys do yesterday?" every day, they have become very familiar with each other. The ten mature and beautiful young women are all different and charming, and they take turns to provoke Huo Yuhao every day, and no one cares.
Because Ma Xiaotao had already asked Yan Shaozhe to get a level 5 invisibility cloak from the Soul Guidance Department, and the others followed suit with similar methods, their actions regarding Huo Yuhao's dormitory accommodation rights did not cause much of a stir within the academy.
Even so, Huo Yuhao was always surrounded by a group of girls, which really made the other male students indignant, but they couldn't beat Huo Yuhao.
As for the female students in the college? Sorry, although Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, and the others were divided into five groups, they all reached a consensus.
That means an eleventh person is absolutely not allowed to get involved!
As a result, the girls from the outer courtyard who still harbored feelings for Huo Yuhao's good looks were all intimidated by the lewd power of these ten men and forced to give up their desires.
Ma Xiaotao ate the skewers in her hand, watching Huo Yuhao carefully handle the skewers, the meat flying up and down in the charcoal fire, and she was slightly lost in thought.
The first semester is almost over. I still have missions to do; Yuhao is probably going to hunt for spirit rings, right?
Ma Xiaotao swallowed the piece of meat in her mouth with a slight movement of her throat, then suddenly said, "You're going to the Star Dou Great Forest with Senior Sister and the others tomorrow, right?"
Upon hearing Ma Xiaotao's words, everyone around turned their attention to Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao nodded and handed the bunch of roasted meat he had just finished grilling to Cui Yajie, who hadn't received it yet.
The girl with long pink hair subtly moved her bright eyes, and with a particularly cunning move, she gently brushed her jade-like hand against Huo Yuhao's as she took the roast meat. Her naturally alluring pink eyes winked at him, and she subtly stuck out her tongue before turning away in an instant, returning to her seat without leaving a trace.
Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, then reached out with both hands to the soft flesh of his waist.
One belonged to Ma Xiaotao, and the other to Ling Luochen. Then they pinched and twisted them at the same time.
Huo Yuhao's back was sweating slightly from the pain, but he pretended nothing was wrong and continued Ma Xiaotao's previous topic, "Dean Yan told me that there's a team from the Inner Academy going to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for soul rings, led by Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan. Apparently, because of me, the academy is planning to send Elder Xuan along."
Huo Yuhao really didn't want Elder Xuan to come along; he was scared! But he had no reason to refuse.
He clearly remembered that his senior sister's teammates were wiped out because of Elder Xuan's leadership.
But with Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan by my side, there shouldn't be any major problems, right? After all, Senior Sister is so reliable.
With his heart pounding, Huo Yuhao could only console himself with this thought.
Ling Luochen seemed to have thought of something, and with a serious expression, she leaned close to Huo Yuhao's ear, reminding him, "Make sure you stay close to Senior Sister!"
Huo Yuhao met Ling Luochen's eyes. Sure enough, this ice-cold beauty senior knew about that matter, right?
Before Huo Yuhao could react, Ma Xiaotao handed him the invisibility cloak she had been using.
"Be careful and stay close to your senior sister."
So you all knew this before?
The other eight girls didn't quite understand why the two senior students from the inner courtyard were so serious at this moment. Xiao Xiao, who was usually the most gossipy, couldn't help but voice her doubts.
"Why were you two so serious just now? Is there any danger for Yuhao going to the Star Dou Great Forest?"
Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen exchanged a glance, and then sighed in unison.
But Ling Luochen reacted quickly, seizing the opportunity to speak first, "You know more about Ma Xiaotao than I do, so you speak!"
Ma Xiaotao glared at her, pouted, and then said in a deep voice, "This matter is a taboo in the inner courtyard. I'm telling you all today, but no one is allowed to tell anyone! Yuhao, start the simulation!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao immediately released his soul skill, completely concealing their surroundings and leaving only their illusory figures to prevent anyone from approaching.
Seeing this, Ma Xiaotao nodded slightly, then looked around at everyone, giving Ning Tian a particularly focused look.
Ning Tian understood immediately and nodded slightly, saying, "Don't worry, senior, I definitely won't tell my family."
Ma Xiaotao nodded again before continuing, "Many years ago, a Soul Hunting team in the Inner Court suffered a major accident, with almost all members perishing. Senior Sister was the only survivor."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed immediately. They had never heard of such an incident happening in Shrek Academy's inner courtyard!
"And the teacher leading that team..." Ma Xiaotao paused, her expression somewhat gloomy and utterly puzzled.
Seeing this, Wang Dong'er cautiously followed Ma Xiaotao's words and asked, "Is it Elder Xuan?"
Ma Xiaotao let out a long sigh of relief, but the atmosphere became noticeably more oppressive.
Ling Luochen sighed and said softly, "Yes, the teacher leading the team is Elder Xuan, and he is a level 98 Super Douluo."
Everyone was immediately horrified. A team led by a Super Douluo had only one survivor? Was that reasonable? That was absolutely unreasonable!
Wu Feng couldn't help but ask, "What exactly did they encounter? They couldn't even protect a level 98 Super Douluo?"
Ma Xiaotao said with a gloomy face, "That group of people, whose highest cultivation level was no more than a Quasi-Soul Douluo, encountered a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast."
Ning Tian asked doubtfully, "Even if it's a 100,000-year-old soul beast, shouldn't a level 98 Super Douluo be able to stop it? They couldn't have just encountered a ferocious beast, could they?" The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School has a strong foundation, boasting three Douluos, one of whom is a Super Douluo exceeding level 95. Therefore, as the young master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Tian is very clear about just how powerful a level 98 Super Douluo is. That's why she can't understand how a level 98 Super Douluo couldn't protect everyone under the threat of a 100,000-year-old soul beast.
Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen's expressions immediately became extremely strange. The two exchanged glances again, and then Ling Luochen answered Ning Tian's question.
"Master Xuan wasn't here at the time."
"What?"
"How is this possible?"
"what?"
In an instant, everyone who was unaware of the situation was in an uproar. The highest-ranking member of the Soul Hunting Squad was only a Quasi-Soul Douluo, not even a proper eight-ring Soul Douluo. And they were facing a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast all by themselves? Wasn't this absurd? What exactly was Elder Xuan doing there? Wasn't he the team leader? Was he plotting murder?
Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen were also helpless; once this was brought up, no one could accept it. And with Huo Yuhao to be "protected" by this level 98 Super Douluo, who was practically a traitor, on his soul-hunting mission tomorrow, everyone couldn't help but worry about Huo Yuhao's safety.
Nammon Yoona asked worriedly, "Can't we just change the teacher in charge?"
Huo Yuhao took over the conversation, waving his hands helplessly, and said, "Elder Xuan is a powerhouse second only to the Sea God Pavilion Master. No one in Shrek Academy would question him. This time, it's a must-go, but you don't need to worry too much. I still have many ways to protect myself. As long as I stay close to Senior Sister, returning safely won't be a problem."
Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, although everyone was still worried, they were now truly in a difficult position. After all, apart from the Sea God Pavilion Master, almost no one in the world dared to offend that level 98 Super Douluo, especially since he was one of Shrek Academy's most reliable pillars of strength.
