Chapter 265 Wang Dong
“You said Wang Dong is still taking the inner courtyard assessment?”

Huo Yuhao said in surprise.

“That’s right. After Wang Dong signed up, he happened to run into a soul hunting operation.”

“Because they want to test how long it takes for the soul ring absorption limit of the students who have undergone the body-building method to increase, the academy organized a lot of people to go to the Xingdou Great Forest. Wang Dong also went to the academy to ask for help and was responsible for protecting those theoretical researchers with lower combat power. Oh, and Teacher Wang Yan also went with them.”

“I see.”

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly.

No wonder Wang Dong was not seen in the inner and outer courtyards. It turned out that he was not in Shrek now.

After chatting with Xiao Xiao for a while, Huo Yuhao returned to his own laboratory in the Soul Guidance Department, took out the ice spring water, soaked in it, and began to practice.

Under the tempering of the residual chill of the extremely cold spring water, Huo Yuhao’s adaptability to the extreme ice increased rapidly. In less than an hour, the bottleneck of his soul power was vaguely loosened. Another half hour passed, and finally, after the residual chill of the extremely cold spring water was consumed, his soul power was pushed to level 48.

After stabilizing his soul power, Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes.

At this time, the cold spring, which was soaked in the marrow of ten thousand years of ice, no longer had its previous coldness, and only left the cool feeling like mountain spring water.

However, Huo Yuhao was not very satisfied with the results.

The cold spring that was nurtured by the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Marrow, a treasure of ultimate ice properties, should not have just such an effect, even though it was already a pool of water without a source.

Perhaps other ice-attribute soul masters would be able to break through several realms with this, but its effect on Huo Yuhao would be very limited.

Do I have to try to absorb a ten-thousand-year-old ice marrow?

After all, Huo Yuhao was able to break through to the Soul King level only after experiencing an extreme event such as good fortune after bad luck. If he didn’t have some drastic measures, Huo Yuhao might not be able to break through to the Soul King level in time.

What’s more, after the breakthrough, he still has to go on a soul hunt to obtain the fifth soul ring, so the time left for Huo Yuhao is indeed limited.

Unfortunately, soul beasts with spiritual attributes are extremely rare, so if you want to meet a suitable one, you have to rely on luck.

This makes the already tight time even more urgent.

It’s not that Huo Yuhao cares about winning or losing the Soul Master Competition, but the Soul Master Competition is indeed a good opportunity, an opportunity to kill the evil soul masters.

Huo Yuhao would never allow the people of the Holy Spirit Church to show off their power in the Soul Master Competition. The Soul Master Competition was the most suitable opportunity to wipe out the younger generation of the Holy Spirit Church in a fair and open manner.

If he allowed those evil soul master geniuses to grow, perhaps when war came, their growth rate would exceed Huo Yuhao’s own.

After confirming the target, Huo Yuhao took out a box made of Ice Divine Crystal from the storage soul guide, carefully touched the core magic circle covering the box, and slowly opened it.

A strand of ten thousand year old black ice marrow lay quietly in it. As the box that sealed the ten thousand year old black ice marrow was opened, the temperature in the entire room dropped by dozens of degrees, and frost began to condense on the surrounding walls.

This is a thousand-year-old mysterious ice marrow that has released the seal set by the Snow Empress herself. It was placed in a box made of the Ice Divine Crystal early on so that it can be used at any time without anyone being able to see other information.

It’s just that Huo Yuhao had always thought that he could break through to the Soul King level on his own. It was not until now that Huo Yuhao accepted his fate and decided to use this pure power.

Huo Yuhao carefully picked up the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Marrow, and used the extreme cold power inside it to erode his body and improve his extreme ice adaptability. At the same time, he used the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul to process the extreme cold power that invaded his body and transformed it into pure soul power.

…………

“Finally done.”

Tang San gently wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the girl lying in the ice coffin tenderly.

Several years have passed, but the girl in the ice coffin has not changed at all, as if her life force has been frozen by the ice coffin.

“The Shura origin has been removed, and the soul has been fully replenished… Xiaoqi’s congenital disease has finally been completely cured. In this case, Xiaoqi should wake up.”

Thinking of this, Tang San put away the ice coffin and moved the girl to the bed beside him.

As the extreme cold power faded, a hint of blood color gradually appeared on the girl’s pale face, and her chest occasionally rose and fell.

“Will it take some time to recover?”

Seeing this, Tang San decided not to interfere any further and let her wake up on her own. He just placed a piece of jade containing vitality in the girl’s palm.

Suddenly, Tang San slapped his head fiercely: “I almost forgot that the Bright Goddess Butterfly Martial Spirit is still outside. I have to find a chance to retrieve it. Otherwise, when Xiao Qi wakes up and doesn’t see the Bright Goddess Butterfly Martial Spirit, she will make trouble again.”

Thinking of this, Tang San silently closed his eyes and immersed his consciousness in the Mark of Seagod.

……

“Ji Bochang, sixteen years old, martial spirit Vajra Stick, spirit power level 48, physical fitness before absorbing the spirit ring was level 8000, and the fourth spirit ring age is years.”

Wang Yan kept recording the information excitedly.

“8000 years. If it were a stronger beast spirit master, he could even try to absorb the -year-old fourth spirit ring.”

“Even with the help of secret medicine, it may not be impossible to try to absorb the fourth soul ring of ten thousand years.”

An old voice came: “If you don’t urgently need the soul skills provided by the high-age soul ring, it is better not to use the secret medicine.”

Wang Yan realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly said, “Yes, Master Yu.”

With a thud, Wang Dong fell from the tree and asked with some concern: “Master Yu, will the secret medicine from Mingde Hall really not affect Huo Yuhao’s subsequent spirit ring absorption?”

“You’ve asked this question several times.”

Old Yu looked at Wang Dong with a smile and said jokingly, “Don’t worry too much. I have explained the principle of the secret medicine. It uses the huge medicinal power to temporarily enhance the various attributes of the soul master, allowing the person who takes the medicine to withstand soul rings far exceeding what can be absorbed under normal circumstances, and use the power of the soul rings to improve the quality of the soul master, achieving the effect of leapfrogging absorption.”

“The reason why it affects subsequent absorption is that the pressure brought to the soul master and martial soul by this extraordinary soul ring is too great. Even if the soul skills are used normally, the soul master’s control over them will be greatly reduced. When absorbing the soul ring next time, the pressure of the two soul rings will be superimposed, and the soul master will not be able to withstand the pressure brought by the absorption of the soul ring. Therefore, reducing the absorption period of subsequent soul rings is the best way to deal with it.”

“As for the little fellow Huo Yuhao, there is no need to worry too much about this. His martial soul is a soul with great potential. This kind of pressure will not crush Huo Yuhao. In fact, his martial soul may even awaken again under the stimulation of this pressure.”

Despite saying this, Wang Dong was still a little worried.

But it shouldn’t be a big deal. After all, even if Huo Yuhao hadn’t reached the level of Soul King by then, he had already absorbed the fourth soul ring. Not hearing any news also meant that Huo Yuhao had no accidents.

Wang Dong comforted himself in his heart.

“Okay, this batch of students have all absorbed their spirit rings, we can go back now.”

In the messy campsite, everyone packed up their camping equipment in an orderly manner and prepared to return.

Elder Yu suddenly sighed, “Speaking of which, although the absorption age has increased a lot, the increase in combat effectiveness is very limited. They will have a headache if they want to absorb high-age spirit rings in the future. By then, even Shrek’s genius may not be able to hunt for the right spirit ring on their own.”

Wang Yan said helplessly: “This kind of thing is not something we should worry about. Besides, a force that can withstand high-intensity training itself means that it has sufficient foundation, and there will be people to help hunt souls.”

As someone who has been following this new training method throughout, Wang Yan is very aware of the resources consumed by this training method. In order to provide for the logistics of these people, the prices of high-end ingredients in Shrek City have increased by 15 to 30 percent.

Wang Dong did not have the time to listen to the two theoretical chatter, but looked towards the direction of Shrek City with some anticipation.

By this time, Huo Yuhao has already returned, right?
I wonder if Huo Yuhao misses her?

Are you still tinkering with those soul guides?

……

“A new way of body building?”

Tang San silently checked the movements around him.

“I didn’t expect this new way of exercise would be so effective.”

Looking at these young men who have absorbed spirit rings beyond the limit, Tang San sighed. These people’s physical fitness is not much better than his own back then, and they don’t have the assistance of precious land such as Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, but their first three spirit rings are better than his.

Tang San had also paid attention to this Old Yu’s research. Although all the information was useless to Tang San today, his research on martial spirits was much better than that of his teacher.

There is also the mutated blue silver grass of Tang Ya, the leader of this generation of Tang Sect, which seems to be taking a different path from his Blue Silver Emperor.

This is truly a world of great contention.

It is for this reason that I must use this peerless genius!
Tang San looked towards the direction of Shrek City.

There, there was a young man, holding an ice-attributed treasure in his hand, and was in the process of breaking through his cultivation.

“Ultimate Ice…Ultimate attribute. Fatty obtained this ultimate attribute after taking several fire-attributed treasures. It is his innate power…”

“But the Ice God throne is in the hands of that fellow Destruction… We must not let Destruction know of his existence. Even if he wants to inherit the throne, he must be under my command.”

……

“what–“

Huo Yuhao stretched his body and stood up in high spirits.

Finally…finally reached level 50!
It is worthy of being an ice-attributed treasure. It has helped me break through two levels of soul power and still have some left. Perhaps after absorbing all the soul rings, my soul power can increase by one or two levels.

“I don’t know what time it is now.”

Huo Yuhao took out a clock from the storage soul guide and looked at his cell phone.

The hour hand is pointing directly downward.

“Is it six o’clock? It’s a good time to practice the Purple Demon Eye again.”

After walking out of the secret room, Huo Yuhao came to the window sill of the laboratory and looked towards the east, but did not see the sun.

“After all this time, it turns out it’s already six o’clock in the evening. No wonder I’m so hungry.”

Huo Yuhao smiled self-deprecatingly, unlocked the laboratory door, and prepared to go to the cafeteria to deal with something.

“Huo Yuhao!”

As soon as Huo Yuhao opened the door, a familiar figure rushed in front of him.

Huo Yuhao was stunned when he saw the pink and blue figure in front of him.

Because of this moment of surprise, the two of them bumped into each other.

“Wang Dong? What are you doing?”

With Huo Yuhao’s physical fitness, it was not difficult for him to stand firm even though he was caught off guard. He stretched out his hand and placed it on Wang Dong’s shoulder, pushing him away.

Being pushed away by Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong said with some resentment: “Really? We haven’t seen each other for more than two years, and you don’t even give me a hug?”

When their bodies touched just now, a faint fragrance came over them, causing Huo Yuhao to be a little confused. After he calmed down, Huo Yuhao said seriously, “I’m not that tall.”

Wang Dong’s face turned slightly red at Huo Yuhao’s words, but soon faded away. He pouted and said dissatisfiedly: “Who wants to do that with you?”

This coquettish look made Huo Yuhao a little distracted.

“Cough cough!”

A light cough was heard, and this woke Huo Yuhao up.

“Okay, no more joking.”

Huo Yuhao said seriously, “I heard from Xiao Xiao that you are a Soul Emperor? Is that true?”

“of course it’s true.”

Wang Dong was afraid that Huo Yuhao would not believe him, so he released his martial spirit and displayed his one yellow, three purple and two black soul rings.

“What a pervert! He was only at the Soul Sect when I left. In two years, he has improved to nearly level 20, right?”

Huo Yuhao clicked his tongue and tilted his head to signal Wang Dong to talk while walking.

“Huh, with my talent, is this a difficult thing?”

Wang Dong seemed to remember something and said, “I heard from Teacher Zhou that you haven’t reached level 50 yet. How is it? You’ve been locking yourself up for a day. Have you made any breakthroughs?”

Huo Yuhao nodded and said, “I was lucky. I successfully broke through to level 50. I was just about to go out for a meal, but you bumped into me as soon as I opened the door. So, how long have you been waiting outside?”

“Just… just a few minutes ago.”

Wang Dong said: “I just found all the spirit rings for the junior students yesterday afternoon. I rushed back to the academy without stopping and ran through several procedures. Finally, I was able to enter the inner courtyard.”

“Tsk, it’s really troublesome.”

Even Wang Dong cannot escape the fate of going through formalities.

“That’s right. I’ve been in the Xingdou Great Forest for several months for this assessment. I’m almost like a savage.”

Speaking of this, Wang Dong looked resentful.

If it wasn’t for soul hunting, who would be willing to stay in the Star Dou Great Forest, a dangerous and primitive place? But there was no way to shirk the academy assessment this time.

If I had known this earlier, I would have signed up earlier. Maybe the test would have been easier.

“Hey, where are you going?”

Wang Dong saw that Huo Yuhao was walking in the wrong direction and quickly pulled Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao asked doubtfully: “Where else can we go? Let’s go to the cafeteria to eat.”

“Pfft-“

Wang Dong said with a smile: “Are you stupid? Do you think you are a first or second year student? Inner courtyard student Huo Yuhao.”

Wang Dong took out a notice and handed it to Huo Yuhao: “Here, your inner courtyard admission notice. I got it for you when I was going through the formalities.”

Huo Yuhao was a little dazed as he looked at the admission letter in his hand.

The admission letter was very beautiful, with the cover showing the azure Poseidon Lake, Poseidon Island and the ancient golden tree in the center standing proudly above the Poseidon Lake.

“Let’s go to the inner courtyard cafeteria to eat.”

As he spoke, Wang Dong pulled Huo Yuhao’s sleeve and walked towards the Sea God Lake.

Huo Yuhao passively let Wang Dong lead him. Looking at Wang Dong’s back, Huo Yuhao was a little confused for a moment.

When did Wang Dong become so lively?

The red light of the setting sun shines through Wang Dong’s blue and pink short hair, revealing a dazzling golden glow. The three colors of blue, pink and gold complement each other, which is very beautiful.

Some of the beauty is unreal.
