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

Clearly, he came up with this decision on a whim.

Yan Shaozhe was furious when his thoughts were exposed, but his years of self-control only made his expression turn cold.

"You're quite the smooth talker. I was going to give you a chance to correct your mistakes, but since you show no remorse whatsoever, I'll send you to Shrek Prison to reflect on your actions for a while."

Shrek Prison is a place specifically for imprisoning evil spirit masters. If Huo Yuhao went in, he would be severely injured, if not killed. Even if he came out, he would most likely be labeled as an evil spirit master.

"Yan Shaozhe, how dare you!" At this moment, the door to the dean's office was slammed to the ground with a loud bang, and Xian Lin'er's cold voice came in.

Huo Yuhao looked at Xian Lin'er with "surprise" and said, "Teacher, you've finally arrived!"

In fact, he already knew that Xian Lin'er had arrived, and those words he just spoke were meant for her.

When Xian Lin'er saw her disciple being forced to kneel on the ground, she was furious, her azure phoenix eyes seeming to blaze with fire.

With a wave of her hand, the oppressive aura emanating from Huo Yuhao vanished instantly, and she pulled him to her side.

Xian Lin'er checked Huo Yuhao with concern and breathed a sigh of relief when she found nothing wrong.

Turning to Yan Shaozhe, she said sternly, "Yan Shaozhe, I've always misjudged you! Now it seems you really are the kind of person my disciple described! You actually want to send my disciple to the prison for evil soul masters! I don't believe you don't know what sending him there means!"

"From this day forward, we are severing all ties!"

"As for the Soul Palace, it's under my protection. Go ahead and disband it if you dare!"

"Yuhao, let's go!"

Chapter 97 Xian Lin'er: My disciple is not for you to teach.

In the freshman teaching building, in the teachers' office, Old Xuan lay back in a chair, holding a wine pot in one hand and a chicken leg in the other, as if he could never get enough to eat.

"Wang Yan, go and call that little guy Huo Yuhao over. Let's see this genius with his original martial soul today, and also ask him what reward he wants."

Wang Yan said, "Elder Xuan, Huo Yuhao has been summoned by Dean Yan and Dean Cai."

While eating and drinking, Elder Xuan muttered, "When did those two become so free? I'll go take a look."

As he spoke, he stood up and staggered toward the teachers' office building.

On the other side, Yan Shaozhe felt embarrassed and annoyed upon hearing Xian Lin'er's words, and at the same time, a sense of panic welled up in his heart.

If he doesn't do something, he might really lose Xianlin'er completely today.

He had known Xianlin'er for so many years and knew her character of keeping her word. Since she had said she would sever all ties, she would definitely do it.

Although he chose Cai Meier, he still harbored feelings for Xian Lin'er, his first love, and wanted to enjoy the bliss of having two women.

However, Xian Lin'er and Cai Mei'er were irreconcilable enemies, and he himself hesitated and wavered between the two. In the end, Xian Lin'er was so angry that she simply made an agreement with Qian Duoduo to become husband and wife in name only, which forced him to suppress his thoughts.

He never cared about Qian Duoduo. Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo had been married for so many years, but they had never become a real couple. He knew that Xian Lin'er's heart had always belonged to him, so he always had a sense of superiority over Qian Duoduo.

Yan Shaozhe never expected that the years of marriage between Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo had not severed the bond between him and Xian Lin'er, but today, it was severed by a twelve-year-old freshman who had only known Xian Lin'er for less than a month.

If before he only had a prejudice against Huo Yuhao, now his heart was filled with anger and a trace of resentment towards Huo Yuhao, but he did not show it at all.

He needs to win Xianlin'er back now!

Yan Shaozhe, seeing Xian Lin'er about to leave, hurriedly said, "Lin'er, I didn't know he was your disciple."

"Just because someone isn't my disciple doesn't mean you can arbitrarily imprison a normal Soul Master in a prison for evil Soul Masters! Yan Shaozhe, I misjudged you before!" Xian Lin'er's tone was icy, her blue eyes like ice. "Also, from now on, call me Xian Lin'er!"

Xian Lin'er's resentment towards Yan Shaozhe for many years erupted all at once because of Huo Yuhao's incident.

She has a strong and decisive personality, and she harbored a lot of resentment towards Yan Shaozhe for his indecisiveness between her and Cai Meier back then. In recent years, Yan Shaozhe has continued to suppress the Soul Guidance Department, and her resentment has deepened.

Time had long since eroded her feelings for Yan Shaozhe from decades ago, and Huo Yuhao's exposure of Yan Shaozhe's personality had further distorted her impression of him. Now, she felt only dissatisfaction and resentment towards Yan Shaozhe.

Furthermore, influenced by the [Hive Will], she already harbored serious hostility towards Yan Shaozhe. The only reason she didn't directly fight Yan Shaozhe was because she saw Huo Yuhao was unharmed. If Huo Yuhao had been injured, her loyalty to him, brainwashed by the [Hive Will], might have made her fight Yan Shaozhe to the death.

Yan Shaozhe explained, "Lin'er, you've misunderstood. This kid is completely unreasonable. I just wanted to scare him a little so he would realize his mistake and repent."

Xian Lin'er turned around and sneered, "Yan Shaozhe, how could you even think of saying that? Do you think I'm as easy to fool as before?"

"Furthermore, what mistake did my disciple make? Is establishing the Soul Palace a mistake? I am still the Soul Palace's instructor, Yan Shaozhe. Shouldn't you also lock me up in the Evil Soul Master Prison?"

Yan Shaozhe breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xian Lin'er finally stop, and remained silent awkwardly.

"Yan Shaozhe, even if my disciple's establishment of the Soul Palace is beneficial to the academy, or even harmful, the punishment for him can only be borne by me, his teacher. It's not your place to help me teach my disciple!"

After saying that, Xian Lin'er took Huo Yuhao and walked towards the stairs without looking back.

Yan Shaozhe immediately became anxious, chasing after her while urgently saying, "Lin'er, I really didn't know Huo Yuhao was your disciple. Otherwise, given our relationship, why would I want to lock him up in the Evil Soul Master Prison? How can we just sever our friendship of so many years? Moreover, as the deans of the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Guidance Department of the academy, if we are not on good terms, it will be detrimental to the development of the academy!"

Regardless of whether Yan Shaozhe's emotional appeal and academic appeal were effective with Xian Lin'er, they were very effective with another person.

When Cai Meier saw Yan Shaozhe eagerly chasing after Xian Lin'er, she was immediately furious.

Her eyebrows shot up, and she snapped, "Yan Shaozhe, if you go after her, don't ever come home again!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe slowed his pace, stopped, and hesitated.

Xian Lin'er gave a disdainful sneer.

Cai Meier looked at Xian Lin'er's back with a complicated expression. She had always treated this rival in love as her lifelong enemy. Even after the other party married Qian Duoduo, she never let her guard down. She never expected that the other party would withdraw from the competition like this today.

After so many years of fighting, suddenly having no opponent is a relief, but also a bit disheartening.

They used to be best friends, but they became mortal enemies because of Yan Shaozhe. Looking back, she sighed.

As for Yan Shaozhe's behavior today and the character flaws he exposed, she didn't care. After so many years of marriage, she had long since figured out what kind of person Yan Shaozhe was; she even knew him better than Huo Yuhao.

But their years of relationship had long since allowed her to tolerate Yan Shaozhe's shortcomings. After all, who can be perfect and pure? Tang San, the Sea God?

As soon as Huo Yuhao reached the stairwell, he saw an unkempt old man, dressed in somewhat dirty clothes, leaning against the wall, drunkenly drinking a little wine.

The old man saw Xian Lin'er, took a sip of wine, and said lazily, "I'm late, I missed a good show. Little Xian, what are you arguing about with Xiao Yan and the others?"

"Elder Xuan." Xian Lin'er bowed respectfully, but did not answer Elder Xuan's question.

Elder Xuan shook his head and walked toward Yan Shaozhe's office, saying as he went, "Little Fairy, come along. Let me mediate between you and Xiao Yan. By the way, I have something to discuss with your junior disciple."

Xian Lin'er hesitated for a moment, then pulled Huo Yuhao to follow behind Elder Xuan and asked, "Elder Xuan, what do you want with my disciple?"

Huo Yuhao was also very curious about what the Holy Spirit Cult's Grand Elder wanted to see him about. Surely it couldn't be that the Soul Hall's supervisor had touched a nerve with him?

If this person objects, the establishment of the Soul Palace will certainly be quite fraught with difficulties.

Huo Yuhao decided to go to Mu En's place that night to complain.

Elder Xuan said dismissively, "It's nothing serious. It's just that the training methods he contributed to the academy are beneficial to the students, so the academy decided to give him some rewards. I also heard from Wang Yan that his martial soul is the Eye, his original martial soul, and that it may have already awakened a second time, so I came to take a look."

Exercise methods?

Huo Yuhao suddenly realized, and frowned at the same time. Didn't Wang Yan promise that he wouldn't pass on the knowledge to others without his consent? How did it become something he contributed to the academy?

Was he sacrificed?

Even upon hearing about the reward, Huo Yuhao was somewhat reluctant. Voluntary and forced voluntary participation are two completely different things.

Chapter 98 Elder Xuan's Reward and Opposition

As they talked, the three of them returned to Yan Shaozhe's office.

Yan Shaozhe and Cai Meier bowed respectfully upon seeing Elder Xuan.

Elder Xuan took out a chicken from his soul tool, broke off a leg and stuffed it into his mouth. His cloudy eyes were full of leisure as he said, "Stop with these formalities. Little Immortal's disciple, come here and let me see your martial soul."

Huo Yuhao followed the instructions and walked in front of Elder Xuan, activating his Martial Soul.

His pink-gold eyes shone with a soft glow, and a pink-gold phantom of a spiritual eye appeared behind him, with powerful spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from him.

Elder Xuan stopped eating and drinking, his cloudy eyes revealing a sharp glint as he shook his head and nodded repeatedly.

He sighed, "What a pity, what a pity, the original martial soul hasn't awakened a second time yet."

He had fought against members of the Body Sect who had undergone a second awakening of their Body Martial Soul more than once, and he knew that after the second awakening of the Body Martial Soul, the illusory image of the Martial Soul behind them would emit three kinds of radiance: bronze-blue, silver-white, and golden-yellow, depending on the awakening grade. Huo Yuhao's Martial Soul obviously did not have this effect.

After a moment of disappointment, Elder Xuan became excited again, "A first-ring cultivator with such strong mental power is almost at the level of a Title Douluo!"

Elder Xuan then tested Huo Yuhao's physical attributes with his soul power and was even more satisfied.

With such powerful mental strength and good physical attributes, even if his cultivation level is low, he can still create a Super Douluo by piling up medicinal herbs!

"Not bad, not bad. Perhaps it's a good thing that the original martial soul didn't awaken a second time! It has this kind of talent even without awakening. If it did awaken, the talent would be even higher, and it could at least reach level ninety-eight." Elder Xuan took a sip of wine with great interest.

As for level 99, it cannot be achieved solely through talent; talent is only one of the necessary conditions.

Huo Yuhao frowned as he smelled the alcohol in the air, feeling somewhat displeased. His already negative impression of Elder Xuan worsened.

Anyone would feel resentful if they were criticized and oppressed by a drunken, slovenly old man using his soul power.

Elder Xuan pondered for a moment with his furrowed brows, then murmured, "His spiritual power is already the strongest I've ever seen at this age, as is his physical fitness. There's no need to improve either of those aspects. It's just that his soul power cultivation is a bit low, only level 20."

"Since he is Xiaoxian's disciple, let's give him a better reward. Soul Ascension Pills are too inadequate."

As he spoke, Elder Xuan flashed his hand and took out a jade bottle, which he tossed to Huo Yuhao, saying, "This is your reward, Jade Soul Liquid."

Huo Yuhao was somewhat disgusted by the oil stains on the jade bottle, so he used his soul power to catch it remotely.

Xian Lin'er said from the side, "Yuhao, hurry up and thank Elder Xuan. This bottle of Jade Soul Liquid can raise a Soul Venerable by at least three levels without any side effects. Even a Soul King can raise their level by one level. Even the academy might not be able to produce one bottle every year!"
