Transmigrating into Huo Yuhao, my abilities are refreshed every month.

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, looking at the expressionless girl in front of him, without saying a word.

After the issue of her martial soul was resolved, Ye Lingling's eyes regained some vitality, no longer as lifeless as before. Her expressions also became more varied, though they were all faint and almost imperceptible, but she was no longer as expressionless and emotionless as she had been in the past.

This version of Ye Lingling is more adorable than her usual cool and aloof demeanor.

After breakfast, Ye Lingling took the pill, while Huo Yuhao and the others stood guard and waited.

After Ye Lingling finished absorbing the energy, her soul power successfully reached level 40.

Huo Yuhao's gaze swept over Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong. "Are you all ready?"

"Ready?" Ning Rongrong replied energetically, her face beaming with a smile.

"In that case, let's go to Sunset Forest."

The group of five left, while the others, under Zhang Lexuan's arrangement, began to busy themselves with the academy's preparations.

In Tiandou City, at an inn, the students of Shrek Academy were staying.

Since Huo Yuhao kicked them out of the Ye family last time, they found a nearby inn to stay in. The next day, Tang San and Xiao Wu were also sent back by Tang Hao.

Although the last incident was quite embarrassing, they did not come away empty-handed. At least most of their injuries have been healed, and they can now mobilize their soul power to fight.

In the hotel, in a slightly larger room with two beds, the teachers and students of Shrek Academy gathered together.

"Flander, where do we go next?" Yu Xiaogang's face was ashen, his hand tightly gripping a teacup, his already frustrated face now appearing even more gloomy.

Clearly, what Huo Yuhao did a few days ago had dealt a heavy blow to this master, especially since his idol Tang Hao was easily defeated by the fusion skill of the two young people. This had deeply affected the master, and he was tormented by uncontrollable jealousy and resentment.

Why are they able to defeat Haotian Douluo at such a young age? Why is he, a dignified Grandmaster, stuck at level 29 for life without making any progress? Why is their spirit fusion skill so powerful while the spirit fusion skill of the Golden Iron Triangle is so weak?

If Huo Yuhao were here, he wouldn't even need to use his soul to tell that Yu Xiaogang's mindset was unbalanced.

Flander glanced at his close friend and saw the resentment and indignation in his eyes. He couldn't help but sigh, his cunning triangular eyes now filled with weariness.

He then looked at the people present: his Shrek Academy teachers who had always followed him, his student Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Dai Mubai, and others. Their faces had long lost their high spirits; all that remained was the fear, anxiety, and dejection hidden deep in their eyes.

After a long silence, he spoke with difficulty, "Let's go back to Soto."

Originally, he planned to go to Liu Erlong's house after recovering from his injuries at the Ye family's residence, and also to bring Yu Xiaogang and his beloved Erlong sister together, hoping the two good siblings would eventually become lovers, but—

In this situation, how could he possibly bring it up with Liu Erlong? Moreover, they had offended Huo Yuhao, who was capable of defeating Tang Hao. He couldn't let his misfortune befall his—no, Yu Xiaogang's—Erlong sister.

"Flander, do you really intend to spend your whole life holed up in that little village and just let it go? Have you thought about the children? Your disciple, Ma Hongjun, has a congenital defect in his martial soul. Will staying in that little village solve the problem? Dai Mubai, if I'm not mistaken, is the third prince of the Star Luo Empire, right? You must know the situation in the Star Luo Empire. Can you just watch him slowly die? And Oscar, the first food-type soul master in the continent with innate full soul power, are you just going to let him waste his life with you?"

Yu Xiaogang pressed on relentlessly, questioning Flander.

Chapter 324 Shrek Academy merges with Snow Star

Flander slammed his fist on the table, glared at the Grandmaster, and roared, "What can I do? We've offended Huo Yuhao. He's capable of defeating Haotian Douluo. We can only avoid him!"

"I didn't expect you to be so afraid of death, Flander. I misjudged you!" Yu Xiaogang shook his head in disappointment.

Flanders gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not afraid of death, but what's the use? I can die, but I can't take my brothers who have always followed me and my students with me to their deaths!"

“Flander, you’re wrong. If we stay in Tiandou City, we still have a glimmer of hope. Going back to Soto City is the real slow death!” Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly.

"Do you know what our hope is in defeating Huo Yuhao? It's these children."

"Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Dai Mubai, and Xiao Wu are all geniuses, one in a million. Most importantly, there is my disciple, Tang San, who is one of only two people in the Douluo Continent with twin martial souls. As long as he is here, as long as we can protect the children and help them grow up, we will one day be able to defeat Huo Yuhao and wipe away the shame of the past!"

"Although he is very strong now, once he becomes a Title Douluo, Xiao San can add nine spirit rings of more than 50,000 years to his second spirit, and may even obtain a spirit ring of 100,000 years. At that time, will he still be a match for Xiao San? Even if he has a spirit fusion skill, Xiao San can suppress them!"

As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang's eyes gleamed with fervor, as if he could already see that day arrive. His voice was filled with fervor and pride, deeply inspiring those present.

Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, and several teachers all looked intently at Tang San, who now represented their future.

Even Oscar, who suffered greatly at Tang San's hands and almost lost his Great Chrysanthemum, couldn't help but soften his gaze towards Tang San. Perhaps it won't be long before Oscar can shift from prioritizing the Great Chrysanthemum to prioritizing the bigger picture.

Tang San, who had been so disheartened by Huo Yuhao that he questioned his life, gradually regained his confidence upon hearing this.

Yes, what is he afraid of? He still has the Clear Sky Hammer, which is the number one weapon spirit in the world, while the Blue Silver Grass is just a piece of trash that will only hinder his growth.

When he adds a spirit ring to the Clear Sky Hammer in the future, that will be the day of his revenge!

He would endure it for now, but in the future, he would make Huo Yuhao and Tang Hao, who might find out about his background, pay the price.

The Tang Clan's General Principles: To cut the weeds, you must nip them in the bud.

Noticing the slight change in Oscar's gaze, Tang San felt a surge of warmth and gained even more confidence. He couldn't help but look at his teacher, Yu Xiaogang, and sighed inwardly. He had truly had a discerning eye back then, recognizing his teacher at a glance. Now it seemed that he hadn't made a mistake in choosing a teacher!

Flander was speechless after the master's words. His anger had vanished, and he leaned wearily against the mattress, slowly saying:

"But what should we do? Stay in Heaven Dou City? But wouldn't staying in Heaven Dou City make it easier to run into Huo Yuhao? That would be even more dangerous."

The master said calmly, "Don't worry about that. I'm sure Huo Yuhao won't do anything to us. He's a genius, and I know geniuses like him very well. They're always arrogant and won't take us seriously. But his arrogance is our opportunity. We just need to take this opportunity to teach our students well, and he'll definitely pay the price in the future!"

“You have a point, but what if they make a move?” Flander asked.

The master said confidently, "You don't need to worry about that. I've already come up with a solution."

“Yesterday, I was invited by Prince Xuexing to the Prince’s residence. Prince Xuexing and Emperor Xueye are very optimistic about the talents in our academy, so he specially submitted a memorial to Emperor Xueye, deciding to establish an advanced soul master academy with us as the core. From now on, our background will be the Heaven Dou Empire, and Huo Yuhao will not dare to easily make a move against us!”

"What? The Empire will establish an academy with us at its core?" Everyone's eyes widened. This was like a reassurance to them, who were filled with fear and anxiety.

No matter how powerful Huo Yuhao is, he should think twice before trying to harm those who are appreciated by Prince Xue Xing and Emperor Xue Ye, right?

"Hmm." The master stood with his hands behind his back, head held high, chest puffed out, his expression calm.

Flander was also shocked. Making Shrek Academy bigger and stronger had always been his dream, and this dream was about to come true at the lowest point in his life.

However, he quickly realized the crux of the problem.

"After the college is established, who will own it? Also, where is our campus? Where will students have classes?"

Yu Xiaogang said calmly, "The academy naturally belongs to Prince Xuexing. As for the campus, Prince Xuexing has specifically asked Emperor Xueye for permission to temporarily stay at the Tiandou Royal Academy. We can use all the facilities of the Tiandou Royal Academy."

“Isn’t this the result of Shrek Academy being swallowed up?” Flander murmured.

Yu Xiaogang frowned and said, "Flander, this is already the best condition I negotiated with Prince Xuexing. Aren't you satisfied?"

"If we go back, can you provide the children with a simulated training ground? Can you provide them with the qualification to participate in the Continental Soul Master Academy Tournament a year later? As long as we agree to these conditions, all of this will be available. We can even use the Empire's best training environment. As for the campus, we can build it later."

Flanders picked up a glass of ale, gulped it down, and put the glass down; his expression had returned to calm.

"Let's do it your way. We do need the protection of the Heavenly Dou Empire, and the children need a good cultivation environment. This matter is settled. You can go and discuss it. I want to be alone for a while."

After saying that, Flander walked outside.

Just then, Tang San spoke up: "Teacher, I've reached level 30!"

Yu Xiaogang was overjoyed, "Good, good, good! You truly are my disciple! Flander, when are we taking Xiao San to hunt souls?"

Without turning his head, Flander said, "Tomorrow, let Zhao Wuji take the children to Sunset Forest. Oscar just broke through to level 30 and hasn't gone to get his spirit ring yet, let's go together tomorrow."

Congratulations and laughter filled the room once again. Tang San's breakthrough had completely shattered the gloom in their hearts regarding Huo Yuhao. Even Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai, who were competing with Tang San for the Oscar, now felt that Tang San, who was not handsome, had become much more refined.

Not long after, Xiao Wu also announced that she had broken through to level 30, and the room was filled with even more laughter.

On the other side, Huo Yuhao led Gu Yuena, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Ye Lingling out of Tiandou City at a leisurely pace, heading towards Sunset Forest.

As evening approached, the group arrived outside Sunset Forest, where they rested for the night before entering the forest the following morning.

The Sunset Forest of this era was not ravaged by Tang San. It contained many ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, as well as many soul beasts over fifty thousand years old, unlike the second era of Dou Di Zhu, where it was not easy to find even a thousand-year-old soul beast.

Chapter 325 Huo Yuhao: I've been flirted with

Upon entering the Sunset Forest, Huo Yuhao activated his mental detection sharing, and all the soul beasts within a radius of ten thousand meters entered his mind.

While traveling, in order to avoid being harassed by soul beasts, he once again used the simulation skill to conceal the group's figures. In the forest, with these two soul skills, Huo Yuhao could move as if he were in an empty place.

"Rongrong, the soul skills of your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School mainly enhance strength, soul power, attack, speed, attributes, defense, and spirit. They can also remove abnormal statuses. Have you thought about which soul skill to add next?" Huo Yuhao asked with a smile.

Ning Rongrong frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at Huo Yuhao and Zhu Zhuqing, and said, "You probably won't need my support, so I only need to consider Zhuqing. Zhuqing is an agility-attack type Soul Master. My first and second Soul Skills are Strength and Speed, and I'll choose Soul and Attack as my third Soul Skill."

Huo Yuhao nodded, "Then we've found a soul beast that you need. It's a white fox, and it also has a soul skill that amplifies soul power. You should be able to obtain the soul skill you want."

With his mental detection, finding suitable soul beasts is very easy.

He took the lead and rushed towards the white fox. Then, just like when he hunted souls before, he used his succubus body to bewitch the fox under the strange gazes of the crowd.

The fox collapsed to the ground, its eyes sparkling with hearts, and under his guidance, it signed a soul contract with Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong held the still dazed white fox spirit in her arms, her bright eyes filled with complex emotions as she looked at Huo Yuhao, hesitant to speak, yet wanting to say something.

Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling were clearly shocked, staring wide-eyed at the white fox with a sense of existential unease. Only Gu Yuena had a strange expression, her purple eyes glistening with a faint watery light, and her fair face flushed with a light rosy hue.

Huo Yuhao searched the white fox's corpse without changing his expression and found a piece of external soul bone, which was a fox tail. He immediately had Ning Rongrong absorb it.

He didn't explain anything, and led the group deeper into the Sunset Forest to search for soul beasts. Anyway, they got used to it after seeing so many.

By evening, the group found a tearing beast. Following Huo Yuhao's method, it became Zhu Zhuqing's third soul ring and brought back two hand bones.

The next morning, she encountered the fourth ring that suited Ning Rongrong. This time, she did not obtain an external soul bone, but she did obtain a right arm bone.

Then, even by nightfall, the group still hadn't obtained a suitable soul ring for Ye Lingling.

Pure plant-type soul beasts are truly rare. For Huo Yuhao, finding such soul beasts is even more difficult than obtaining external soul bones.

The group had no choice but to rest for another night in Sunset Forest.
