Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 91 (Ten Thousands of Days) Secret Soul Bone

Seeing Ning Tian's shocked expression, Huo Yuhao simply grinned.

"Hehe, actually, Teacher Mujin was just too happy, which is why she took out this soul bone as a reward."

"At the time, she kept saying that she would be teaching a freshman class next year and asked me if I wanted to join their class. However, Teacher Wang spoke first. I thought about it and decided to let the school assign students randomly and let nature take its course. I didn't expect that I would end up being assigned to Teacher Wang's class."

"According to Teacher Mulan, she's happy that that gossipy old woman is gone. What's a soul bone? Back then, she tried everything to appease her, but the other woman still expelled her brother. Now that the gossipy old woman is gone, she feels it wouldn't be right not to celebrate with a soul bone..."

Huo Yuhao awkwardly repeated what Teacher Mu Jin had said. After hearing this, Wu Feng, although he had never met Teacher Mu Jin, had already described in his mind the image of Teacher Mu Jin as someone who was quick to forgive and retaliate.

"But don't get too excited. According to Teacher Mujin, the soul bone reward she prepared is a secret technique soul bone."

"Secret Soul Bone?"

Ning Tian and Wu Feng both looked puzzled. What kind of soul bone was this?

Huo Yuhao didn't know much about secret technique soul bones either. After thinking for a moment, he said, "The so-called secret technique soul bone seems to be a soul bone that is slightly inferior to ordinary soul bones. If you kill a hundred soul beasts within half an hour, there is a 10% chance of obtaining a secret technique soul bone by using secret techniques to activate their soul rings."

"The Arcane Soul Bone has fusion properties. If you can find two more soul bones with similar attributes, you can fuse them together, and the effect will be greatly enhanced. Its name is Arcane Soul Left Arm Bone."

"If you directly absorb that secret technique soul bone in the left arm, you can gain a 5% increase in soul power, and the increase will last forever. If you can find two soul bones with similar attributes to fuse, you can increase the soul power increase of this secret technique soul bone to 10%."

Ning Tian's eyes lit up after hearing what Huo Yuhao said.

"Hehe, Yuhao, your information is very important. After school starts, Wufeng and I will have to find some teammates. That way, even if we don't get the soul bone reward for first place in the grade competition, we'll at least have one soul bone reward as a guarantee."

"Is the reward for first place in the grade-level competition a soul bone?"

Huo Yuhao was somewhat shocked upon hearing this, as he genuinely knew nothing about it.

"The annual freshman competition and the sixth-year outer academy competition at Shrek Academy reward each student with a soul bone, even though the age requirement isn't very high. Isn't this the usual practice?"

Now it was Ning Tian's turn to be surprised.

Huo Yuhao scratched his head. Regarding the rewards for the freshman competition and the sixth-year outer academy graduation competition, all he knew was that winning would guarantee a core disciple spot. Apart from that, he really didn't know much else.

"We won't compete with you for first place in the freshman competition. No matter how you look at it, we definitely can't beat a monster like you. But we can still aim for the top three in the grade, right, Wu Feng?"

Ning Tian looked at Wu Feng and said with some excitement.

Seeing that Wu Feng actually nodded in approval, Huo Yuhao was speechless.

She's still all alone and doesn't even know if she can gather a team, yet these two girls helped her take out a loan and win the championship. If she said that, she'd be hated by everyone.

After chatting with Ning Tian and Wu Feng for a while, it became clear that the two of them weren't in a hurry to tidy up their dorms. Instead, they planned to take a stroll around Shrek Academy first and then come back to tidy up the dorms the next day. Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao decided to set half an hour later as the meeting time, at which time Huo Yuhao would take the two of them to Ning Ge's place.

Separating from the white teaching building, Huo Yuhao walked lightly. Finally becoming a student of Shrek Academy made Huo Yuhao feel quite good. Arriving at the dormitory building, he saw an elderly man who looked very old sitting there.

The old man was dressed in a gray cloth robe, his face wrinkled enough to trap more than a dozen flies at once, his eyes were dim and yellow, his eyelids drooping, giving him the appearance of someone nearing the end of his life. The sunlight between the buildings shone just right on him, and the reclining chair looked quite comfortable.

"Grandpa, your rocking chair has been used for quite a while now. The brackets on the left slide rail are loose. You should probably get it fixed sometime."

Huo Yuhao glanced at the old man's rocking chair and offered a kind reminder.

The old man, who had seemed listless, had no choice but to straighten up after Huo Yuhao's words. He turned to look at his rocking chair and, finding that Huo Yuhao was right, scratched his head.

"Good boy, if you hadn't told me, I might have fallen off this chair at any time."

A smile appeared on the old man's face, and he quickly lay back down on the recliner.

"The school dormitories are co-ed. The first to third floors are for boys, and the fourth floor and above are for girls. You can't go up there; if you are caught, you will be expelled. Go in."

The old man's voice grew softer and softer, and upon closer inspection, it became clear that he seemed to have fallen asleep.

"OK, thanks."

Huo Yuhao nodded politely before stepping into the dormitory building and heading towards dormitory 108 according to the dormitory key's instructions.

After Huo Yuhao walked away, the old man, who had seemed to have closed his eyes, opened them a crack again and murmured something.

"What an interesting kid. I don't know how he managed to trick Xiaoyan out of so many things. He's such a spirited little fellow."

Huo Yuhao quickly found his dormitory by following the number marked on the key. The student dormitory was a dormitory building with long corridors and dormitory doors on both sides, each with a number on it.

It's clear that the dormitory building is quite old, having been in use for many years. There's a communal restroom at the end of each side of the corridor.

Taking a deep breath, Huo Yuhao realized something was wrong.

His dormitory was the third room on the left on the first floor, which was almost the furthest from the toilets on either side. According to his investigation, the school had nearly a thousand new students every year. With his dormitory so far from the toilets, he probably wouldn't be able to use the toilet freely during his time at the school.

"Oh well, since we're here, we might as well make the best of it."

Huo Yuhao sighed. At worst, he would go to the restroom in the teaching building after each class and then return to his dormitory.

Huo Yuhao unlocked the door with his key, and a blast of stale air rushed out. He quickly stepped aside, waited a moment, then took a deep breath and rushed in to open the window. The room hadn't been lived in for at least a month; it was covered in a layer of dust. If Huo Yuhao hadn't retreated quickly, he would have had to clean his own clothes as well.
