Chapter 41 Call Me Senior
Huo Yuhao had already arranged his time. Every morning, he would cultivate the Purple Demon Eye, and then spend an hour practicing Crane Control and Dragon Capture, Ghost Shadow Step, and Xuan Jade Hand, as well as some grappling techniques taught to him by Bei Bei. The rest of the time, except for meals, was spent cultivating the Xuan Tian Gong.
Soul power is the foundation of a Soul Master, and he now needs to spend more time cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Technique.
Ye Nanxiao was also gratified to see Huo Yuhao working so hard. Finally, he could slack off. Oh no, he had an heir.
"You've been getting lazier and lazier lately," Xue Di said with some dissatisfaction.
Ye Nanxiao shook his head. "If someone can do the same thing as me and do it better, then I can go do something else."
"Didn't you say you were going to get some Phoenix Sunflower? When are you planning to leave?" Xue Di asked.
"It'll be soon, at least until I become a Soul King." Ye Nanxiao has already broken through level 40. His cultivation speed is so fast that it makes everyone grit their teeth, especially Shen Ciyuan, who can't wait to duel with Ye Nanxiao every day.
"But there's going to be a good show later." Ye Nanxiao strolled slowly toward the dormitory. As for attending classes, Yu Chu had already given up on Ye Nanxiao, the class monitor. She could just leave things to Jiang Nannan, and Ye Nanxiao would definitely help.
The deadline for new student enrollment is today, and if Ye Nanxiao's estimate is correct, the little princess of Haotianbao will also be enrolling today.
Meanwhile, in Yu Chu's office, Yu Chu handed a stack of documents to Jiang Nannan. "Nannan, here are the files of all the students in our class. Tell that kid to take a look. The opening exam is coming soon, so you guys should get ready. That rascal has probably run off somewhere again. Oh well, it's been years, I'm used to it."
Listening to Yu Chu's complaints, Jiang Nannan smiled helplessly. Sometimes Ye Nanxiao didn't even know what grade he was in.
"Okay, teacher." Jiang Nannan left with the materials. Yu Chu watched Jiang Nannan's back and smiled to himself, "This young man is still too young. Skipping class means he doesn't have to help me with chores? Hehehe."
Tang Ya looked at Jiang Nannan, who was returning with the documents, and went to help her, complaining, "I really don't know what good luck Nanxiao had to have a girlfriend like Nannan. She's always running off somewhere."
Beibei also stepped forward to help, and said with a helpless smile, "Nanxiao is in charge of two departments, so it's normal that he's a bit busy."
Jiang Nannan pouted, "What's that bad guy doing now?"
Shrek Academy occupies a vast area, with large open spaces separating each building.
As soon as Ye Nanxiao arrived, he saw Old Mu sunbathing in front of the door and greeted him with a smile, "Old Mu, the weather is nice today."
Old Master Mu, his eyes still closed, asked gently, "What are you doing here instead of attending class?"
"Oh dear, I've finished studying the course on my own, so I came here to watch the fun." Ye Nanxiao pulled out a small stool and sat down behind Elder Mu.
Old Master Mu was somewhat helpless. Although Ye Nanxiao skipped classes every day, his grades were almost at the top, so Old Master Mu turned a blind eye. As for Old Master Xuan, he didn't bother with Ye Nanxiao unless it was something important, so as not to suffer any more anger.
After all, Ye Nanxiao's talent was undeniable, and he hadn't neglected his cultivation.
"You are, after all, a core disciple. Doing this every day is not a good influence." Seeing that Elder Mu was about to start "having tea" with Ye Nanxiao.
Seeing that Elder Mu wanted to "have tea and chat" with him again, Ye Nanxiao quickly stopped him, saying, "It won't interfere with my cultivation. A balance of relaxation and rest is more conducive to cultivation."
"A balance between relaxation and relaxation is not wrong, but if you do this again next time, I will ask Xuanzi to give you extra training," Old Master Mu said with a smile.
"Okay, okay," Ye Nanxiao nodded in agreement.
As the two were talking, two teenagers walked out of the dormitory door in front of them. They were Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.
"It actually looks pretty good, even if she's dressed as a man." Ye Nanxiao stared at Wang Dong's pinkish-blue hair, touched his own silver hair, and noticed a few white hairs mixed in. Ye Nanxiao raised an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled, thinking, "I haven't been going to the Soul Guidance Department much lately, so how come I have white hair?"
"Could it be the problem from staying up late? It must be because you've been too tired lately, you need to take a break and rest more."
With his right palm open, a fist-sized sphere lay quietly in Ye Nanxiao's palm.
Ye Nanxiao pressed the top of the sphere, and the moment the button was fully pressed, the sphere began to deform, two equilateral triangular eyes lit up, and two small semi-circular feet opened at the bottom.
"Roundball, go record it, you can watch it later." Ye Nanxiao pointed at Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.
This soul tool is called a sphere. The two eyes of the sphere, which act as cameras, flashed and floated next to Ye Nanxiao. The red light on the button flashed slightly, and the recording began.
"I'll release them when they're better later. Just thinking about it is fun. Oh, and why not make a big screen for projection? Sharing is caring, right?" Ye Nanxiao silently noted down the idea of making a soul-guided big screen.
"Can't you be serious for once?" The Snow Empress, who was in the Sea of Spirit, naturally understood Ye Nanxiao's thoughts and said helplessly.
"This is a real black history, of course we have to record it." Ye Nanxiao said with a mischievous grin.
Wang Dong looked at Huo Yuhao with an arrogant expression, waiting for Huo Yuhao's martial soul to possess him.
A faint golden light flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes, and a white spirit ring rose from beneath his feet, indicating that Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eye Martial Soul had been activated.
Looking at Huo Yuhao's "ten-year spirit ring", Wang Dong chuckled and mocked, "I'm curious how you got into the academy. You dare to fight me with this little skill? I don't even need to use my spirit to deal with you."
As he spoke, Wang Dong lightly touched the ground with the toe of his left foot and charged towards Huo Yuhao like an arrow. Not only was he fast, but he also looked exceptionally agile. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Huo Yuhao, raised his right foot, and kicked him directly in the chest.
Golden and purple light flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes. In her eyes, Wang Dong's movements were like slow motion. With the help of the Xuan Yu Hand, Huo Yuhao continuously deflected Wang Dong's attacks.
For a time, Huo Yuhao was not at a disadvantage.
Looking at the two little ones not far away, Old Mu seemed to guess why Ye Nanxiao had moved a stool to sit next to him, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Do you know these two little ones?"
"Yes, the one with the blue hair is my younger brother, I acknowledge him," Ye Nanxiao replied while munching on sunflower seeds.
Upon hearing that Ye Nanxiao had recognized a younger brother, Old Master Mu raised his eyes slightly, a hint of curiosity flashing within them, and asked, "Do you think this child is promising?"
Ever since he learned about Ye Nanxiao, Ye Nanxiao has been constantly redefining Elder Mu's understanding: top-tier martial soul, ultimate ice, monstrous talent, mysterious perception, and blood forging technique, etc.
"He will change the landscape of the mainland." Ye Nanxiao said calmly, words that moved Elder Mu.
"This child?" Upon hearing Ye Nanxiao's answer, Elder Mu opened his eyes and gave Huo Yuhao a deep look, trying to memorize Huo Yuhao's appearance.
Due to issues with soul power and physical fitness, Huo Yuhao began to fall behind. Even though Ye Nanxiao had trained Huo Yuhao's body, his current physical fitness was only slightly better than that of ordinary soul masters of the same age, and naturally he could not compare with the little princess of Haotian Fortress.
"Still too weak," Ye Nanxiao thought, looking at Huo Yuhao who was falling behind.
After the previous exchange, Huo Yuhao calmed down. He activated his mental detection ability and calmly predicted Wang Dong's every attack. He used the Ghost Shadow Step, which he had just learned, and under Wang Dong's fierce offensive, he was like a small boat, swaying left and right but not capsizing.
Wang Dong became increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed, clearly sensing that Huo Yuhao's strength was far inferior to his own, yet he couldn't break through his defenses.
Wang Dong was not only proud but also extremely stubborn. Since he had said he wouldn't use his martial soul, he would never use it. He just kept intensifying his attacks, and he didn't believe that Huo Yuhao could keep going.
Wang Dong's judgment was somewhat wrong. Huo Yuhao was already somewhat exhausted, but Ye Nanxiao had examined Huo Yuhao's body and determined that he wasn't in too much of a state of exhaustion.
However, Wang Dong was, after all, the little princess of Haotian Fortress. She had excellent physical abilities, and her leg attacks were powerful and fast. Huo Yuhao could only barely resist her by relying on his mental detection while he was fully focused.
However, as time went on, the gap between him and Wang Dong in terms of physical fitness gradually became apparent.
Suddenly, Huo Yuhao abruptly raised his head, and because of the large movement, Wang Dong subconsciously looked into Huo Yuhao's eyes as well.
Wang Dong clearly saw a purple glint flash in Huo Yuhao's eyes, which were radiating a pale golden light. Immediately afterward, Wang Dong felt as if his brain had been pierced by needles. Under the intense pain, his mind went completely blank.
Seizing the opportunity, Huo Yuhao pounced on Wang Dong and hugged him tightly. The two fell to the ground together. Wang Dong also woke up from her brief mental blankness and looked at Huo Yuhao, who was less than an inch away from her, with a slight blush on her face.
"It's almost over." Ye Nanxiao froze the sunflower seed shells in his hand into tiny ice crystals, tossed them aside, and walked towards the two of them.
Old Mu glanced at Ye Nanxiao, then closed his eyes and continued to lazily bask in the sun.
"The two little ones are ready," Ye Nanxiao said.
Holding Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong up like chicks, Ye Nanxiao said helplessly as Wang Dong continued to struggle, "Alright, alright, stop it."
"Brother." A smile appeared on Huo Yuhao's stubborn little face.
Wang Dong felt a slight threat from the silver-haired boy in front of him, and subconsciously released his martial soul, the beautiful wings of the Goddess of Light Butterfly unfolding.
"So beautiful!" Huo Yuhao couldn't help but exclaim. Ye Nanxiao also felt that it truly deserved to be the most beautiful martial soul on the continent.
"Let go of me!" Wang Dong realized that even though he was possessed by his martial spirit, Ye Nanxiao still lifted him up.
Ye Nanxiao put Huo Yuhao down. "Remember, if you ever have any difficulties in the future, come to me. I'm your brother."
"Mm!" Huo Yuhao nodded emphatically, his eyes slightly red.
Ye Nanxiao turned his gaze to Wang Dong, looking at him with amusement. Even knowing Wang Dong's identity, he couldn't help but tease him, "Call me 'senior brother' and let me hear it?"
"You!" Wang Dong was both ashamed and angry, and frantically flapped her butterfly wings, trying to break free from Ye Nanxiao.
"I didn't realize you liked bullying little girls?" Xue Di teased.
"You can tell she's a woman?" Ye Nanxiao asked curiously.
"After being influenced by your culture, I can see it's very simple," Xue Di said, shrugging and slouching.
"Should I call her or not? If I do, I'll give you a gift." Ye Nanxiao sounded like a creepy uncle trying to lure a little girl.
"I won't yell!" Wang Dong struggled, trying to kick Ye Nanxiao with his long legs, but he was still too young and his long legs hadn't fully grown.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore." Ye Nanxiao put Wang Dong down. Wang Dong was about to kick Ye Nanxiao when he met those smiling fox eyes and was terrified.
Seeing Wang Dong's expression, Ye Nanxiao suddenly felt a mischievous urge and used his soul power to transmit a message to Wang Dong: "You don't have a heart!"
Ye Nanxiao turned and left, tossing two small boxes to Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao. As he passed Elder Mu, he whispered, "You know Wang Dong is a woman, right?"
Elder Mu ignored Ye Nanxiao, and Ye Nanxiao left directly.
Huo Yuhao opened the small box and found a pill lying in the middle. "Body Tempering Pill!" He glanced at Wang Dong, then turned and went back to his dormitory. He needed to make the most of every minute to cultivate.
Wang Dong stood there for a while before he came to his senses and slowly walked towards the dormitory. As he reached the dormitory door, an old voice rang in his ears, "You have indeed lost, not just in the fight, but also in your heart."
"Why?" Wang Dong suddenly turned to look at Elder Mu, roaring with resentment, "I'm clearly stronger than him. If I wanted to deal with him, he wouldn't even be able to touch me. How could he possibly win against me?"
Old Master Mu pointed to his heart and said gently, "Because of this, child, he has a fearless heart, while you do not. Not everyone can face death without fear."
Wang Dong was stunned for a moment, then bowed deeply to the old man, "Grandpa, thank you for your guidance." Only then did he turn around and stride towards the dormitory.
Back in the dormitory, Wang Dong saw Huo Yuhao already sitting on his bed, meditating.
Seeing a small box on his bed, Wang Dong opened it and found a Soul-Ascending Pill inside. He realized that it was the gift Ye Nanxiao had mentioned.
Wang Dong turned to look at Huo Yuhao, wanting to say something to him, but ultimately held back. He put away the Soul Ascension Pill, snorted, and then made his bed.
She flopped onto the bed, stubbornly pulling the blanket over her head, her mind replaying those smiling yet indifferent fox eyes. "Huo Yuhao's brother? That person...one day..."
For the next two days, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong ignored each other and went about their own business. To Wang Dong's surprise, Huo Yuhao was in a state of cultivation almost every moment, except when eating.
Wang Dong could vaguely sense Huo Yuhao's soul power strength, but the more he sensed it, the more unbelievable it seemed to him. How could Huo Yuhao, with his strength, actually defeat him?
Huo Yuhao has been cultivating non-stop these past few days, absorbing the Body Tempering Pills given to him by Ye Nanxiao. His battle with Wang Dong that day was very enlightening for him. He could gradually improve his soul power through cultivation, but he needed to figure out his physical fitness on his own. Recalling Wang Dong's amazing flexibility that day, Huo Yuhao began to understand his own body and work on improving it.
