Chapter 14.3

Book 2: Academy of Monsters

Chapter 14.3: Skydream Points

Really? Huo Yuhao was overjoyed. Ever since hed come to Shrek Academy, hed started to understand how insignificant he was. After meeting so many experts, his thirst for strength had grown even greater. However, due to his poor talent, he could only secretly work even harder. Now, even the Skydream Iceworm had praised him, so how could he not be happy?

The Skydream Iceworm spoke with a very depressed tone. However, this Brother has used some of his Origin Energy. This is my Origin Consciousness, which can also be considered the intelligence thats been added onto your soul ring. Its because of this that I was able to protect your body before using my power. Furthermore, after that attack, your body wont be able to be possessed by me for at least a year. Youll have to be extremely careful. If you meet another undefeatable enemy like this one, were both finished. Okay, I wont tarry on any longer. Im going to keep sleeping. You have to quickly work harder. Once youve gotten a second soul ring, you wont have to constantly bother this Brother anymore.

The Skydream Iceworm was always rushed whenever he appeared. Huo Yuhao had originally planned to ask him a few questions regarding the control of his soul skills, but the Skydream Iceworm already fallen back into a deep sleep, and everything surrounding him had turned dark.

Wang Dong was the first one to wake up. When he opened his eyes, he saw a white-clothed middle-aged man in front of him. However, before he could speak, Huo Yuhao, who was to his side, let out a muffled groan and slowly opened his eyes.

Because he wasnt as clear as Huo Yuhao regarding the general situation, Wang Dongs mind was blank. He angrily said, Just whats going on? What was that monster earlier?

The white-clothed middle-aged man indifferently replied, Youre both fine now. About the thing that you guys just saw, please forget about it. If you dont, youll be expelled from the academy. Ill give you two these as compensation. I believe that youre both smart people. As he spoke, he threw two green objects towards Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.

The two subconsciously raised their hands to catch them. At the same time, the white-clothed middle-aged man had already risen up into the sky, and was flying towards Sea God Lake. Go to class. Remember, its best that you forget everything you just saw.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong looked at each other. They were left in a daze for quite a while.

Huo Yuhao, what do you thinks going on? Wang Dong asked him in a low voice.

Huo Yuhao shook his head. I dont know. It seems like weve come across a madman.

Wang Dong lowered his head to see what the green object in his hand was, and immediately became stunned. Following that, his face became filled with a happy expression. Wah, weve struck gold! Its a Soul Advancement Pill! Its actually a Soul Advancement Pill.

Huo Yuhao looked towards the green lump in his hand with puzzlement. It was a green pill that was about the size of a walnut, and it was releasing a faint fragrant odor. Its surface was dark-green in colour, and there seemed to be a faint halo of light circulating within it. It was sparkling and translucent, and was also filled with an aura of life.

Whats a Soul Advancement Pill? Is it a type of pill, like the Mysterious Water Pill?

Wang Dong replied, Yeah! Furthermore, its a pill thats of the same rank as the Mysterious Water Pill! However, the Mysterious Water Pill is a bit

more precious than the Soul Advancement Pill because it has a cleansing effect on ones muscles and marrow. But, to soul masters above the thirtieth rank, whose muscles and marrow have already been thoroughly cleansed, the Soul Advancement Pill is better than the Mysterious Water Pill. Due to this, the price of the two pills are about the same. You have to take care of it. Its supposedly extremely hard to refine this sort of pill. I didnt expect that teacher to give us something so extraordinary as hush money. Ive decided to forget everything that I saw earlier.

Huo Yuhao asked impatiently, Can you speak more clearly? Just what use does this Soul Advancement Pill have?

Wang Dong let out a cunning laugh and replied, Im not telling! Beg me! After he finished his sentence, he turned around and ran towards the first-years school building.

Huo Yuhao was left speechless. After carefully putting the Soul Advancement Pill into his Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges, he chased after Wang Dong. While running, he shouted, If you dont tell me, Ill just ask my eldest senior brother. He definitely knows what it does. If you tell me now, Ill treat you to lunch.

Wang Dong slowed down and waited for him to catch up. Then, Ill be eating something tasty.

Huo Yuhao took out all of his savings and said, Im a homeless orphan anyway. These are all of my savings, do whatever you want with them.

Wang Dong was stunned for a moment. You youre an orphan?

Huo Yuhao nodded his head.

Wang Dong spoke again, The reason that you dont even have any bedding on your bed, isnt it because you just want to assiduously cultivate? Isnt it because youre simply not willing to spend money on some bedding?

Huo Yuhao replied, Its because I feel that having some money left to eat with is more important than buying bedding. The food in the canteen is rather expensive after all.

Wang Dong unwittingly stopped, causing Huo Yuhao to naturally stop along with him. Whatre you doing? Its almost time for class. We need to hurry up.

Wang Dong pursed his lips tightly and stared at Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao, who was currently being stared at, felt goosebumps rise on his back. Whats happened to you? Was your brain fried by that guy earlier?

Wang Dong inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly. Huo Yuhao, Im sorry. I didnt know that you were an orphan. I shouldnt have bullied you.

Huo Yuhao chuckled and replied, Your bullying didnt work, did it?

Wang Dong somewhat resentfully slapped his shoulder. Can you not interrupt me when Im in the middle of feeling moved? Lets hurry to class. Ill pay for your meals from now on.

Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, You dont need to. Teacher Xiao Ya found a way for me to make some money. From now on, Ill be selling roasted fish everyday after school. Thatll be enough for me to get my living expenses. Ill treat you to some roasted fish later tonight.

As he spoke, the two walked towards the first-year school building. As they walked, Wang Dong explained the use of the Soul Advancement Pill to him.

The main use of the Soul Advancement Pill was to increase ones soulforce; it was refined from a few heavenly treasures. Soul master could only use a single Soul Advancement Pill during their entire lifetime, and the increase in soulforce one would receive from the pill was roughly equivalent to the soulforce that a soul master at the thirtieth rank needed to advance to the thirty-first rank. This was a pill that could raise ones soulforce by an entire rank! This was truly something that was hard to come by. However, ones future cultivation potential would be affected if more than one were taken.

Furthermore, the Soul Advancement Pill and the Mysterious Water Pill were somewhat similar, as their main function was to stimulate a persons potential to provide more nourishment to the body. Because of this, their medicinal properties were relatively gentle; soul masters that were only above the tenth rank could consume them.

Then, how large would the increase in my soulforce be if I were to eat it now? Huo Yuhao asked probingly.

Wang Dong shook his head and said, I dont know. Ive never heard of anyone willing to eat it at the twelfth rank. No matter how highly ranked an auction is, this pill is always considered a good thing. Moreover, very few people will choose to sell it. Supposedly, only an extremely small number of plant-type soul masters can refine it, and a years supply wont exceed twenty. This time, we really had some crappy luck. It seems that the school is fair, as even though that fellow threatened our lives, we still got something this good.

Unlike Wang Dong, who was praising the school for giving them the pill, Huo Yuhaos mood wasnt too happy. This was because he clearly knew how he and Wang Dong wouldve been charcoal right now, were it not for the existence of the Skydream Iceworm. Even if they were to receive a pill then, it wouldnt be of any use to them.
