Chapter 15: Cleansing the Marrow
"Hmm? A first-year new student? Why are you here?"
Zhang Lexuan remembered that the past few days were the annual Shrek enrollment period.
But how could a first-year new student appear on Sea God Island?
Not only are new students forbidden from entering Sea God Lake, but even if they were allowed, few could cross the lake alone.
It's laughable, but every year, several Four-Ring Soul Sects who just entered the Inner Court have poor Soul Power control and need others to help them cross the lake.
"Senior Sister."
Huo Yuhao quickly stood up.
"Hello, Senior Sister. Dean Yan brought me to Sea God Island, and I can't get back to the Outer Court."
"This..."
The Inner Court Master Sister, with her cool demeanor, moon-white dress, and radiance like a Moon Palace Fairy, had never encountered such a situation.
How could Dean Yan bring an Outer Court new student to Sea God Island and not send him back?
Oh well, he is a Shrek student. I might as well give him a hand.
"That must have been difficult for you, Junior Brother. I am Zhang Lexuan, the Inner Court Chief Disciple."
"Outer Court new student, Huo Yuhao."
He replied while looking at Zhang Lexuan.
This is Zhang Lexuan? She certainly fits the character profile.
Eight-Ring Soul Douluo, Martial Soul Moon, Inner Court Master Sister, Sea Gods Pavilion Successor of the Next Generation, Zhang Lexuan.
Her talent ranked among the best throughout the entire Peerless Tang Sect era.
"Let's go, Junior Brother. Senior Sister will take you back to the Outer Court."
A ribbon flew over and wrapped around Huo Yuhao's arm.
Zhang Lexuan tapped her toes on the ground and soared into the air.
Huo Yuhao could feel a surge of Soul Power coming from the ribbon, lifting him into the sky.
It was extremely stable. Zhang Lexuan's speed was fast, and she quickly flew over Sea God Lake without letting Huo Yuhao fly around like a kite.
This was excellent control over Soul Power.
Huo Yuhao hadn't spent much time training Soul Power control; for a spirit-attribute Soul Master, as long as their Spiritual Power was high enough, their control over their own Soul Power would naturally improve.
They landed.
"Thank you, Senior Sister."
Huo Yuhao bowed, expressed his thanks, and then departed.
Only Zhang Lexuan remained stunned in place.
She had seen the ring worn by this Junior Brother named Huo Yuhao... Returning to the dormitory, the sky was gradually darkening.
Sitting cross-legged on the empty bed, Huo Yuhao consumed the first Mysterious Water Pill.
As for why he wasn't on his own bed, it was because of the Mysterious Water Pill's effects.
The absorption of the Mysterious Water Pill's medicinal effects requires about seven days.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao planned to take a Mysterious Water Pill every seven days, and after taking four Mysterious Water Pills, he would directly consume the soul ascension pill, followed by the final Mysterious Water Pill.
Yes, finish with a Mysterious Water Pill.
By then, he would definitely have Rank 20 Soul Power.
It would coincide with the New Student Assessment period. After winning the championship and receiving the New Student Champion Reward, he could go directly to the Extreme North.
Huo Yuhao's time was pressing. Since he wasn't following Great God King Tang's script, if Great God King Tang realized this, he wouldn't have much ability to resist.
He could only rely on this time difference to accelerate his development... The next day, Huo Yuhao woke up early, washed his entire body clean, cleaned the dormitory, and then ventilated it.
He had to ventilate it; otherwise, he might suffocate himself.
One Mysterious Water Pill raised Huo Yuhao's Soul Power to Rank 16.
Of course, this was the first time taking the Mysterious Water Pill, so the effect was best. Furthermore, the main purpose of the Mysterious Water Pill was not to increase Soul Power.
"Master, what is the highest rank of enemy you can currently handle?"
Electrolux pondered.
"If the old man you saw yesterday is a Limit Douluo of your world, then this old man can probably deal with one. If I use the Great Worm's Spiritual Origin..."
Speaking of this, Electrolux's voice contained an unrivaled Aura.
"Unless it is Divine Rank power, no one in this world is this old man's opponent!"
"Old Electrolux is unrivaled under heaven!"
(✧∇✧)!
This was said by the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
Electrolux, having nothing better to do yesterday, casually instructed the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm on Spiritual Power Cultivation, which resulted in this change.
According to the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, it was: "This silkworm never met a famous Master in its life; if it had, how could this silkworm's life have been so rough!"
It had spectacularly transformed into Electrolux's little fan-silkworm.
"Disciple will definitely help Master repair his Divine Sense."
How could he not understand Electrolux's words? With only a single wisp of Divine Sense remaining, no matter how powerful he was in life, he didn't have much strength left.
How could the current Electrolux be as powerful as he claimed?
He probably needed to burn his last Divine Sense to exchange for power comparable to the Divine Rank.
"Heh heh."
Neither the Master nor the Disciple spoke clearly, having simply made their own decisions.
"Master, yesterday I obtained a Red Card for Shrek's Treasure Gathering Pavilion. Should we go take a look? The Shrek Chamber of Commerce gathers wealth from the entire continent; they should have treasures that can help repair your residual soul and Divine Sense, right?"
"Go ahead and look. It won't be a surprise if there's nothing. While we're at it, buy some Materials so that this Master can refine some Medicinal Pills for you to nourish your body. You are still young, and establishing a good physical Foundation is key..."
He left the dormitory.
Mu En was sunbathing by the dormitory building early in the morning.
The morning sunlight was very comfortable, and the old man was rocking in his reclining chair.
"Hello, Teacher."
"Hmm! Yuhao, you woke up very early! The Medicinal Pills your Senior Brother gave you were good; your Soul Power has improved."
"It was indeed Senior Brother's Medicinal Pills."
"It's rare for your Senior Brother to do something right."
Mu En's smile was benevolent.
Or rather, his expression when looking at Huo Yuhao was always benevolent.
This is what it's like to have a successor; if you don't have one, you won't understand.
"Where are you going? This isn't the direction of the teaching building, nor is it the direction of the mess hall."
"Didn't you give me a lot of money? I was thinking of going to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion to buy some useful items."
"That was indeed this old man's intention, but you must remember: do not use low-quality Soul Bone for Fusion. Your future Soul Bone will be arranged by your Teacher."
"I understand, Teacher."
"Go on. If you run out of money, come ask your Teacher for more."
...In Shrek City, Huo Yuhao walked into the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
The Treasure Gathering Pavilion is not only open when invitation letters are sent out; rather, during the period when invitation letters are issued, only Shrek students can enter to select treasures, and many precious goods are only brought out at this time.
The Treasure Gathering Pavilion is supplied by several large chambers of commerce controlled by Shrek, which scour the entire continent for treasures. How could it lack goods?
It operates normally during ordinary times, but the prices are slightly higher.
But none of this was a problem for Huo Yuhao.
Holding the Red Card with the highest privileges, he could not only enjoy the best discounts but also purchase treasures that were not displayed.
The purpose of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion is not to make money; making money is merely serving Shrek!
Before coming here, Huo Yuhao had already gone to the Teacher's Office and requested leave from Teacher Mu Jin.
Teacher Mu Jin was quite easy to talk to.
Inside the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, there were counters everywhere, as well as charming young girls wearing low-cut short skirts that exposed their fair, tender thighs.
