Chapter 48: Terrifying Deterrence! (Part 1)

  He Yu Hao stifled a smile, "Right, you're very diligent, diligently covering your head with a quilt every day and not wanting to get out of bed. I don't know who's diligent enough to ask me not to disturb him in the morning."

  "Hmm!" Wang Dong grunted, shaking off He Yu Hao and striding towards the dormitory. He Yu Hao hurriedly followed with a smile. When they reached the entrance of the dormitory building, the two asked the old man lying at the door how he was doing, then returned to their dorm room.

  "Come on, let me see. With the second soul ring and the second martial soul, how much stronger are you compared to before?" Wang Dong directly got onto the bed.

  Huo Yu Hao smiled and said, "You're in such a hurry, aren't you worried about the bet this afternoon? Since it's a scored competition, I reckon we'll be adding up our scores as a team of three to compete against their team of three. Don't you have any confidence?"

  Wang Dong glanced at him and said, "I have confidence in myself, but I don't have confidence in you, a drag on the team."

  Huò Yǔhào was speechless for a moment, then bluntly plopped himself down on Wáng Dōng's bed, took off his shoes and sat cross-legged. "Come on, let me show you my skills." After going out with Tiān Mèng Bīngcán this time, Huò Yǔhào had also learned to call himself "Gē".

  Wang Dong said irritably: "I'm not sending you a quilt, what are you running over here for?"

  "Alright, stop being so annoying and hurry up."

  Wang Dong no longer insisted and turned around, raising his palms to meet with Huo Yu's. But in the next moment, both of their faces revealed a look of astonishment.

  Their soul powers merged, and they felt each other's greatly enhanced strong soul power. Moreover, it was not just a simple quantitative change, but even a qualitative change. A month ago, when they parted ways, Ha Dong's power was like a gentle stream, but now after merging, it had become like a small river. Peng Huan's soul power flowed through both of their bodies, and they could clearly feel the soul power operating at a speed that was more than 50% faster.

  Huò Yǔhào's feelings were mainly reflected in the violent surge of Wáng Dōng's soul power. However, Wáng Dōng's feelings were different. He discovered that Huò Yǔhào's soul power had not only increased greatly, but his meridians were also more than twice as wide as before. The combined force of their souls was enormous, but when it surged into Huò Yǔhào's meridians, there was no obstruction at all, and it could circulate freely in a single cycle. Moreover, the speed of this circulation even exceeded that within Wáng Dōng's own body. Furthermore, Huò Yǔhào's physical quality had undergone an astonishing transformation, as if he had taken some kind of heavenly medicine. After the combined force of their souls flowed through his body, Wáng Dōng could even feel a powerful energy emanating from him.

  Although both were shocked in their hearts, they had already begun to cultivate and did not dare to be careless. They hurriedly guarded their minds and gradually became immersed in a meditative state.

  The cultivation continued until lunchtime before it came to an end. As they slowly withdrew their palms and opened their eyes, the gazes they exchanged with each other became somewhat strange.

  It was just this one period of cultivation, but they all felt that their soul power had improved significantly. At this speed, it's likely that in less than a month, each of their soul powers would be able to advance by one level! This cultivation speed is really too astonishing.

  "You're such an oddball!" Wang Dong couldn't help but say.

  He Yu Hao said in a bad mood: "What about you? Aren't you the same? I'm just bursting out after accumulating for a long time and having good luck."

  Wang Dong smiled and said, "No wonder you were so confident when you made a bet with Dai Huabin. Don't worry, as long as your promotion assessment score can exceed Zhu Lu or Cui Yajie, our chances of winning will be great. I will definitely work hard to catch up with Dai Huabin's score."

  Huo Yuhao nodded and said, "You say, if we cheat, can the invigilating teacher find out?"

  The two minds were connected, and Wang Dong naturally understood what he meant. "I'm afraid it's going to be tough. I can feel that your control has also increased significantly, so be careful. We must make Dai Huabin and the others kowtow and admit their mistakes, let's see if he dares to be arrogant again."

  Huo Yuhao's lunch treatment didn't decline just because he was stripped of his status as a core disciple of the Soul Master sect. When he and Wang Dong arrived at the cafeteria, a chef in his thirties was already waiting there. Upon seeing Huo Yuhao, he immediately came over to greet him.

  "Are you Huo Yu Hao?"

  "Who are you?" Huo Yu Hao could affirm that he had never seen this person before.

  A middle-aged man dressed as a chef smiled and said, "I am the private chef of Master Fan Yu. From now on, I will deliver your meals." As he spoke, he handed over the food box in his hand.

  Huo Yuhao was taken aback, and a warm feeling suddenly surged up in his heart. The teacher had thought of everything. He took the food box and thanked the chef before walking into the dining hall with Wang Dong.

  "Come on! Someone has even sent you food. The treatment of a Soul Guidance core disciple is truly exceptional."

  He Yu Hao chuckled and said, "You go get lunch quickly."

  This meal is really too rich. When Huo Yu Hao saw the dishes in his food box clearly, he was also shocked.

  The dishes that Wu Xuanzi's core disciples could enjoy were already top-notch, but the dishes sent by Fan Yu, the chef, were at least one level higher.

  Two dishes and a soup, plus a large bowl of rice. Sounds simple enough. But the ingredients were good enough to be called delicacies.

  There is a label inside the lunchbox, which even indicates what to eat first and what to eat later in order to achieve the best effect of the ingredients.

  First, drink the soup, a hundred years of jade ginseng stewed with Tianma essence. Huo Yuhao is no longer the naive young man he used to be, having spent a year as a core disciple of the Soul Master sect. He has also done some research on these top-grade ingredients. He roughly calculates that the cost of this bowl of soup would likely exceed fifty gold soul coins.

  The cafeteria on the Wu Xuan side also had similar dishes, but it was a ten-year-old jade ginseng stewed with gastrodia. The materials were much worse than that. This soup nourishes the brain and body, and is considered an excellent nutritional product.

  Look at those two dishes again, one of which is braised hundred-year-old earth dragon tendon. This earth dragon tendon is the main tendon extracted from the back of a real earth dragon. The combat power of the hundred-year-old earth dragon soul beast is absolutely top-notch among the hundred-year-old soul beasts. Representative of strength-type soul beasts. Its tendons have a special effect on nourishing human bones and muscles, especially for minors, the benefits are extremely great.

  This dish has actually made the tough and chewy geoduck tender and cooked to perfection, it must have taken at least three days and nights of cooking time! Not only is it delicious, but also easier to digest.

  Another dish is the sauce-bursting green bird marrow. The green bird is said to have a hint of phoenix blood, and its bone marrow not only tastes good but also greatly benefits human bones.

  Three dishes can be considered as Longji Fengsu Yuzhen Soup, whether from the nourishing effect or from the value, they are all top-notch.

  Even rice is plump and full like small grains of white jade pearls. Supplementing Qi and nourishing the body, increasing physical strength.

  The food standard for this meal is absolutely over 150 gold coins. This is without calculating the production cost.

  Then, when Wang Dong came back with his food, he looked at his own meal and then at Huo Yuhao's. Suddenly, his eyes shone with envy, "Yuhao, I'm jealous! I also want to go to the Soul Guidance Department now. When did their meals become so good? I heard that the core disciples in their cafeteria don't eat as well as us, right? Our Martial Soul Department needs nourishment even more!"

  Wang Dong's news was correct, but that only applied to the ordinary core disciples of the Soul Guidance Department. But is Huo Yuhao ordinary? He not only is the direct disciple of Fan Yu, but also the first dual-soul core disciple in the history of the Soul Guidance Department. The hope placed on him by the Soul Guidance Department is something even Huo Yuhao himself does not know.

  He Yuhao chuckled and pushed his own food over, "Come on, let's each have half. Give me half of yours too, so we can both try more flavors." Before Wang Dong could react, he had already brazenly pulled a lot of Wang Dong's food over to his side and started eating with big mouthfuls.

  Wang Dong looked at him deeply, suddenly fell silent, and did not refuse. He just ate the core disciple's meals of Wu Soul Sect and Hun Duo Sect together with Huo Yu Hao.

  Beast Fighting District

  As the largest exclusive area of Shrek Academy, the Beast Martial District is as large as all the teaching buildings and dormitories of the Wu Soul Department plus Shrek Plaza.

  On the entire Douluo Continent, those who can raise Soul Beasts with the power of an academy are extremely rare. To reach the scale of Shrek Academy's Beast Fighting Colosseum is even more unprecedented, not even the imperial families of various empires would do such a thing. Raising Soul Beasts isn't that easy, one must maintain the wild nature of the Soul Beasts while also considering their different eating habits and ensuring safety, on top of controlling them. The investment required is something ordinary Soul Master academies wouldn't dare to think about.

  All the taxes of Shrek City every year go to Shrek Academy, and one-third of this huge sum of money is invested in the Beast Fighting District. It can be imagined how high the investment in the Beast Fighting District is.

  New students usually think the tuition is expensive, but any student who has been to the Beast Fighting Colosseum will never have this feeling again. Compared to their tuition, Shrek Academy's investment is simply like fireflies and the bright moon.

  Apart from the taxes from Shrek City, another source of income for Shrek Academy comes from the Soul Guidance Department. Every year, the Soul Guidance Department produces soul-guiding instruments that are sold externally. However, the sales objects are limited to the three major empires: Tianhun, Douling, and Xingluo, but do not include the Dayue Empire. This is also why Shao Zhe said that Qian Duoduo has a lot of money.

  The Beast Fighting District is mainly divided into two parts. One part is where the students cannot see, which is a place specifically for raising soul beasts, known as the Beast Ring. The other part is the Beast Fighting Arena.

  Monthly ticket and recommendation ticket. Don't forget our task. The top three recommended tickets must be kept, and there will be three updates on Monday. It doesn't look like we'll make it to the top this week, let's continue to work hard next week.

  Excitement is just around the corner.
