Chapter 55

"Really?" Huo Yuhao was overjoyed. Since coming to Shrek Academy, he had increasingly recognized his own insignificance, and after seeing so many powerful figures, his desire for strength grew even more. However, due to his lack of talent, he could only secretly strive. Now, even Tianmeng Bingcan was praising him; how could he not be happy?

Tianmeng Bingcan said rather dejectedly, "However, Brother just used the Origin Power. This is my intrinsic spirit, which, in a sense, is the wisdom attached to your soul ring. Only in this way could I first protect your body and then use my power. Moreover, after your body has been impacted, it cannot be possessed by my power for at least a year. You must be extremely careful. If you encounter an opponent you can't resist, both of us will be in trouble. Alright, I won't talk to you anymore; I'm going back to sleep. You should work hard. Once you reach the second soul ring, you won't always need to trouble Brother."

Tianmeng Bingcan always appeared in such a hurry. Huo Yuhao wanted to ask him some questions about soul skill control, but it had already fallen into a deep sleep, and everything around him darkened.

...

Wang Dong woke up first. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the middle-aged man in white in front of him. Before he could speak, Huo Yuhao also groaned and slowly opened his eyes.

Unlike Huo Yuhao, who knew the general situation, Wang Dong was completely confused and said angrily, "What's going on? What was that monster just now?"

The middle-aged man in white said calmly, "You're fine now. Forget what you saw just now. Otherwise, you'll be expelled from the academy. Here, take these as compensation. I believe you are both intelligent." As he spoke, he threw a green object to each of them.

The two instinctively raised their hands to catch them. The middle-aged man in white had already leaped up and headed towards the Sea God Lake, saying, "Go to class. Remember, forget everything you saw."

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong looked at each other, stunned for a moment.

"Huo Yuhao, what do you think happened?" Wang Dong asked in a low voice.

Huo Yuhao shook his head, "I don't know. It seems we encountered a madman."

Wang Dong looked down at the green object in his hand and was immediately stunned. Then his face was filled with joy, "Wow, we're rich. It's a Soul-Enhancing Pill. It's actually a Soul-Enhancing Pill."

Huo Yuhao looked at the green object in his hand with confusion. It was a green pill the size of a walnut, emitting a faint fragrance. Its surface was emerald green, and there seemed to be a faint glow inside, crystal clear and full of life.

"What is a Soul-Enhancing Pill? Is it a type of pill like the Black Water Pill?" Huo Yuhao asked.

Wang Dong said, "Yes! And it's a pill of the same level. Relatively speaking, the Black Water Pill is more precious because it has the effect of purifying the body. But for soul masters who have already reached level thirty and beyond, the Soul-Enhancing Pill is better. Therefore, the value of the Soul-Enhancing Pill is about the same as the Black Water Pill. You should keep it well. It's said that this pill is extremely difficult to refine. I didn't expect the teacher to give us such a high price to keep quiet. I've decided to pretend I didn't see anything."

Huo Yuhao said, "Can you explain clearly? What exactly does the Soul-Enhancing Pill do?"

Wang Dong chuckled, "I won't tell you. Beg me!" After saying that, he turned and ran towards the freshmen teaching building.

Huo Yuhao was speechless. After carefully putting the Soul-Enhancing Pill into the Twenty-Four Bridge Moonlit Night, he chased after Wang Dong, shouting, "If you don't tell me, I'll go ask Senior Brother. He definitely knows. Tell me now, and I'll treat you to lunch."

Wang Dong slowed down and waited for him to catch up, "Then I want something good."

Huo Yuhao took out all his assets, "Since I'm an orphan with no home, this is all I have. You decide."

Wang Dong was taken aback, "You, you're an orphan?"

Huo Yuhao nodded.

Wang Dong added, "Your bed doesn't even have bedding, not because you want to study hard by hanging your hair from the beam or pricking your thigh with a needle, but because you can't afford to buy bedding?"

Huo Yuhao said, "I think it's more important to save money for food. The canteen's food is quite expensive."

Wang Dong unconsciously stopped, and Huo Yuhao naturally stopped as well, "What are you doing? Class is about to start; we need to hurry."

Wang Dong pursed his lips and looked at Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao felt uneasy under his gaze, "What's wrong with you? Did that guy burn your brain?"

Wang Dong took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, "Huo Yuhao, I'm sorry. I didn't know you were an orphan; I shouldn't have bullied you."

Huo Yuhao chuckled, "You didn't really bully me, did you?"

Wang Dong slapped his shoulder in annoyance, "Can you not interrupt me when I'm feeling moved? Let's go to class. From now on, I'll cover your food expenses."

Huo Yuhao shook his head, "That's not necessary. Teacher Xiao Ya helped me come up with a plan. After school every day, I'll sell grilled fish, which will be enough for my living expenses. I'll treat you to grilled fish tonight."

As they spoke, the two started walking towards the teaching building again. On the way, Wang Dong explained the effects of the Soul-Enhancing Pill to him.

The main effect of the Soul-Enhancing Pill is to boost soul power. It is refined using several rare ingredients. Each soul master can only take one in their lifetime, and the boost in soul power is roughly equivalent to the amount needed to advance from level thirty to level thirty-one. A one-level boost in soul power is a rare and valuable thing! However, taking too many can affect future cultivation potential.

Moreover, the Soul-Enhancing Pill is similar to the Black Water Pill in that it primarily stimulates potential and provides more nutrients, so its effects are relatively mild. Any soul master above level ten can take it.

"If I take it, how much soul power will I gain?" Huo Yuhao asked tentatively.

Wang Dong shook his head, "I don't know. I haven't heard of anyone taking a Soul-Enhancing Pill at level ten or so. This thing is a good item at any level of auction, and few people sell it. It's said that only a few plant-type soul masters can make it, and the annual production is no more than twenty. We really got lucky this time. It seems the academy is fair; that guy threatened our lives but gave us such a good thing."

Unlike Wang Dong's admiration, Huo Yuhao didn't feel much joy because he knew that if it weren't for Tianmeng Bingcan, he and Wang Dong would have already turned to ashes. No pill would have helped.
