Chapter 28

Huo Yuhao had already arranged his schedule. Every morning, he would practice the Purple Extreme Magic Pupil, then spend an hour practicing the Crane Control and Dragon Capture, the Ghost Shadow and Mysterious Traces Steps, and the Black Jade Hands, as well as some grappling techniques taught by Bei Bei. The rest of the time, except for meals, would be spent practicing the Profound Heaven Skill.

Soul power is the foundation of a soul master. He now needed to spend more time practicing the Profound Heaven Skill.

"Hmm, this cultivation method is really good, quite suitable for your current situation. You humans are really capable!" Just as Huo Yuhao entered a meditative state, his vision turned white, and the voice of Tianmeng Ice Silk Worm sounded, bringing him back to his spiritual sea.

"Brother Tianmeng?" Huo Yuhao called out in pleasant surprise.

Tianmeng Ice Silk Worm's lazy voice responded, "Your body has changed a lot these past few days, finally making a good start. Your physical endurance is gradually increasing. Not bad, not bad. The abilities you are practicing are quite suitable for you. Especially this meditation method and the eye training technique. You have felt the four skills I gave you, right? Practice them often, especially the last skill, combining it with your eye training method. The effect should be good, and it will also give you a basic offensive soul skill. It's better than I expected."

"Brother Tianmeng, I will work hard to cultivate." Hearing Tianmeng Ice Silk Worm's voice again confirmed for Huo Yuhao that his fusion with the million-year-old soul beast was not a dream.

Tianmeng Ice Silk Worm said, "I'm sleepy, I need to sleep for a while. Just continue cultivating as you are now. When you break through to the second soul ring, I will naturally wake up. At that time, the ice attribute soul power I give you should also become your main soul power, leading to a qualitative leap."

Huo Yuhao asked, "Can I still find you if I need to?"

Tianmeng Ice Silk Worm replied, "If you encounter insurmountable danger, I will naturally help you. Don't worry. Only if you live can I live! I'm going to sleep..."

The white light faded, and Huo Yuhao woke up from his meditation. He was surprised to find that it was already completely dark outside. He had been practicing for at least three hours, and the Profound Heaven Skill seemed to have made a slight improvement.

It was already evening, and his stomach was a bit hungry. But looking at the sky, the cafeteria should have already closed. Fortunately, he still had a few pieces of dry food in his bag. After eating them with some water to satisfy his hunger, Huo Yuhao continued his cultivation.

In the morning, after absorbing the mysterious power brought by the rising purple qi, Huo Yuhao returned to his room to practice several Tang Sect secret techniques. He was only just beginning to learn these techniques and was not focusing his main energy on them, just practicing them a little.

After finishing these, the sky was already bright. After washing up, Huo Yuhao went to the cafeteria to buy food. As soon as he entered the cafeteria, he frowned. Since practicing the Profound Heaven Skill, his appetite had been increasing, and his body needed sufficient nutrition. But he had no money. His tuition was already being paid by his senior brother, and he didn't feel right asking Bei Bei for more.

Fortunately, breakfast was simple and cheap. Huo Yuhao bought a few eggs and a bowl of porridge, spending three copper coins this time. It was enough to give him some nutrition. The food that seemed cheap yesterday suddenly felt more expensive today, as he realized that the prices in Shrek Academy were clearly higher than outside.

"Junior brother, you can't skimp on meals. Insufficient nutrition is no good. The school has some jobs that you can take on to earn a living." Bei Bei appeared beside Huo Yuhao, seemingly out of nowhere.

"Senior brother." Huo Yuhao called out in pleasant surprise. So far, in Shrek Academy, he only knew Tang Ya and Bei Bei.

Bei Bei said apologetically, "I don't give you money directly because I want you to learn to be self-reliant. Combat power is just one part of strength. A person's strength also includes many comprehensive abilities, the most important of which is the ability to survive in any situation. Do you understand?"

"Senior brother, you have already helped me a lot. I understand. I still have a few silver coins, and after school starts, I will take on some work."

Bei Bei patted his head, "I'll go first. Remember, money can be earned again, but you can't skimp on food. You need nutrition."

Huo Yuhao followed Bei Bei out of the cafeteria, deciding to follow his senior brother's advice and treat himself to a better lunch today.

Walking back to the dormitory building, just as he reached his room, Huo Yuhao noticed the door was open. He was startled at first, then realized that his roommate must have arrived.

At that moment, a young man walked out of the room, also startled to see Huo Yuhao.

The young man had a delicate appearance, fair skin, and a pair of large, uniquely pale blue eyes. His short hair was the same color, and his handsome face seemed even more attractive than Bei Bei, making him the most handsome person of his age that Huo Yuhao had ever seen. He was about the same height and age as Huo Yuhao.

"Who are you?" Huo Yuhao asked instinctively.

The young man gave him a haughty glare, "Move aside."

"Oh." Huo Yuhao quickly moved aside. The young man walked past him, but after a few steps, he stopped and turned back, saying, "You're in this dorm too, right? Since you've cleaned the dorm so well, I'll allow you to stay with me temporarily. I have a few rules you need to remember: First, no bringing people back to the dorm without permission. Second, no walking around naked in the dorm. Third, no snoring at night. Fourth, don't disturb me. Fifth, you are responsible for cleaning the dorm, but don't touch my bed. Got it?"

Seeing the young man's condescending attitude, Huo Yuhao felt a surge of anger, "Why should I listen to you?"

The young man snorted, "If you don't listen to me, I'll kick you out. Don't believe me? Try it."

Huo Yuhao, who had been bullied in the Duke's mansion since childhood, couldn't stand such a condescending attitude. He said coldly, "Try it, then. Let's go outside."

Seeing his unyielding attitude, the young man smiled. His smile was beautiful, but the disdain and contempt in it only fueled Huo Yuhao's anger.

"I don't even know your name," the young man said disdainfully.

Huo Yuhao replied solemnly, "Shouldn't you introduce yourself first before asking for someone else's name?"

The young man said nonchalantly, "I'm Wang Dong."

"I'm Huo Yuhao."

Wang Dong smiled slightly, suddenly stepping close to Huo Yuhao, "Very well. I think your name will soon disappear from Shrek Academy. Come on, idiot." With that, he turned and walked out.

Huo Yuhao clenched his fists tightly and followed him out. Despite knowing he wasn't very strong, he would not let himself be bullied, especially by someone who would be his roommate for at least the next year.
