Chapter 53

Yesterday, after making money from the grilled fish, before going to watch Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi's match with Tang Ya, Huo Yuhao didn't forget to dig out the gold soul coin from the grill. When he and Wang Dong arrived at the cafeteria, they felt a bit like big spenders.

This breakfast was particularly sumptuous, greatly replenishing their bodies. They were the earliest to arrive at the cafeteria, and not many students had come by the time they finished eating.

"Class is still a while away, let's go back to the dormitory," Huo Yuhao patted his satisfied belly, stretched his body, and looked very comfortable.

Since coming to Shrek Academy, his mood had gradually brightened. Here, he finally had friends, and he had Teacher Xiao Ya and Senior Brother Bei Bei who cared for him, which was much better than the cold atmosphere at the Duke's mansion.

Wang Dong said, "Save it. You're going to go back and practice again. If you stretch the string too tight, it will break. You should also relax and unwind. Come on, let's take a walk by the Sea God Lake and relax. The Black Water Pill has already helped you improve your cultivation, so it doesn't matter if you take a break for a while."

"Alright." Huo Yuhao readily agreed. After a few days of school, he hadn't been to the Sea God Lake yet, and class was indeed not far away, so a walk would be good.

The two left the cafeteria, circled around the freshmen teaching building, and walked east along the south side of Shrek Square. They soon arrived at the lakeside path.

Passing through the woods beside the path, the shimmering Sea God Lake came into view.

A gentle mist mixed with fresh air greeted them. Although the Sea God Lake was an artificial lake, the water was extremely clear. The deep blue water was pure, deep, and gentle, with a layer of ripples like a girl's bright eyes. The lake reflected the blue sky and white clouds and the lush trees along the shore.

"Beautiful!" Wang Dong couldn't help but take a deep breath and stretch his body.

As he stretched, his shirt inevitably pulled up, revealing his round, firm buttocks. Huo Yuhao wasn't deliberately looking, but a casual glance reminded him of the white skin he had seen yesterday.

Feeling a bit awkward, he turned his head and looked into the distance of the Sea God Lake. The lake covered a vast area, probably even larger than the main campus of Shrek Academy west of Shrek Square. In the distance, a layer of mist covered the water.

After the evolution of his Purple Extreme Demon Eye, Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eyes had significantly improved in vision. Even without infusing soul power into his Spirit Eyes, he could still see far. He vaguely saw what seemed to be buildings in the mist on the distant lake. Recalling Xiao Ya and Bei Bei's descriptions, he couldn't help but think that this must be the Inner Academy.

Even a soul master as excellent as Senior Brother could only study in the Outer Academy. How powerful must the seniors in the Inner Academy be!

"Huh?" Just as Huo Yuhao was thinking, he suddenly saw a red dot appear in the mist on the lake.

"What's wrong?" Wang Dong asked in confusion.

Huo Yuhao pointed in the direction he saw, "Look, there seems to be a red dot over there."

Wang Dong looked in the direction Huo Yuhao pointed, but only saw a mist. "Where?" He had just questioned Huo Yuhao when his eyes widened. He also saw it—a red figure was sprinting on the water at an astonishing speed, heading straight for them.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong looked at each other and exclaimed simultaneously, "An Inner Academy senior?"

The speed of the red figure was truly astonishing. In just a moment, he had already reached the center of the lake. Each time his toes touched the water, a ripple would form, but he used that slight buoyancy to continuously accelerate, like a red cloud rapidly drifting forward.

As he got closer, Huo Yuhao could see more clearly. The red figure was not only dressed in red but also had blood-red hair. He was tall and slender, but his entire body exuded a fierce and terrifying aura, like a terrifying soul beast. He wore a red mask, and even his eyes were blood-red.

The air around him was slightly distorted, and as he passed, a layer of mist rippled beneath his feet.

"This senior looks very strong! Look, he can run on the water without releasing his soul tool," Wang Dong said excitedly to Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao's cultivation was not as high as Wang Dong's, but his perception was much sharper. "Wang Dong, something doesn't feel right!"

The red figure was coming too fast. In the time it took for them to talk, he had already approached within a hundred meters of the shore. A terrifying heat instantly swept over, and both Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's eyes showed shock. They both felt an indescribable and insane aura emanating from the senior, which was far from normal.

With a "swish," Wang Dong's azure wings unfolded behind him. He grabbed Huo Yuhao and tried to fly into the air. But just as he made this move, the red figure was already close.

The terrifying heat erupted instantly, and Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao felt as if they were covered in a sea of fire. Wang Dong's wings instantly curled up and could no longer fly, and both of them fell to the ground. All the vegetation within dozens of meters around them turned a scorched yellow in an instant.

The cultivation gap was too large. Wang Dong tried to release his soul skill, but as soon as he activated his soul power, he was immediately hit by the terrifying heat, let out a闷哼 (muffled groan), and fell into unconsciousness.

Huo Yuhao's cultivation was even lower than Wang Dong's, but don't forget, he had an ice-type soul tool that was not yet fully formed.

Stimulated by the intense external heat, this ice-type soul tool was immediately activated, but Huo Yuhao's peak 12th-level soul power was completely consumed by the external heat in just one second. Moreover, the red figure's large hand was already fiercely slapping down at him.

The temperature around his body was already so terrifying, and if he were hit directly, wouldn't he die a very, very painful death?

Huo Yuhao's last action was to launch a soul impact. However, the gap between them was too large, and his soul impact couldn't even penetrate the intense fire aura and dissipated in the heat. He was about to be obliterated by the scorching palm.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao's vision suddenly turned blank, and everything around him became blurry.
