Chapter 234 The First Holiday

Chapter 234 The First Holiday

After returning to the Holy Spirit Cult branch from the undead demiplane and checking to make sure no traces were left behind, Huo Yuhao returned to his dormitory.

Huo Yuhao hadn't actually thought about what to do with Nana and the others, but he just wanted them to settle down in the undead demiplane first.

Overall, things went relatively smoothly tonight, ignoring the food supplies that were eaten by Xiaobai.

------

"Teacher Xuan, you were looking for me? Everyone's here?"

Pushing open the door to Xuan Ziwen's office, Huo Yuhao looked at the three people in the office with some surprise.

When Xuan Ziwen, Keke, and Zimu saw Huo Yuhao enter, Keke greeted him softly.

"Yuhao, you're here?"

Xuan Ziwen greeted everyone warmly, "Now that everyone's here, I'd like to take this opportunity to assign the practical tasks for this year's holiday."

Xuan Ziwen originally had five students in the outer courtyard. Huo Yuhao, Keke, and Zimu were admitted to Mingde Hall one after another. Ju Zi dropped out of school to join the army, and Wang Shaojie was expelled. Now, only three of the five students remain, and they are all here.

"Practical assignment?"

Huo Yuhao was not a student at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and was unaware that this event occurred every year during the holidays.

Keke explained, "Most of the academy's teachers have research projects in Mingde Hall. Sometimes, when there is progress in a new type of soul tool and it needs to be tested in actual combat, they will send students to complete the practical test of the soul tool during their holidays and explain the actual use of the new soul tool."

Huo Yuhao nodded, indicating that he understood: "So when I met Senior Ju Zi a few days after I first arrived at school, she wasn't in a good state because she had just returned from a practical assignment? Does a practical assignment take that long?"

Xuan Ziwen said, "The time required for each practical task depends on the research project. Most mentors' projects are not complicated and only require a few days to test performance and stability. However, the project I lead is more complicated and requires going deep into the Soul Beast Forest to test the combat effectiveness. Moreover, I have more than one project on hand and do not have time to go there in person, so I need you to make the trip."

"That……"

Huo Yuhao scratched his head, somewhat puzzled: "I'm going to participate in Professor Xuan's project too?"

You should know that Jing Hongchen kept a close eye on these exchange students. Huo Yuhao would be warned several times even if he went to the toilet too often, let alone participate in Xuan Ziwen's research projects. Most of the time, he would sit obediently at his own experimental table and do his own thing. Only when Xuan Ziwen remembered Huo Yuhao would he come over to chat for a few words and check Huo Yuhao's recent learning progress.

Xuanzi suddenly asked, "Huo Yuhao, how long have you been at level 40?"

Huo Yuhao honestly replied, "It's been more than a year."

Upon hearing this, Keke and Zimu both looked at Huo Yuhao with surprise. He was already level 40, and he could still endure a year without getting a soul ring. How did he manage to do that?

Even Xuan Ziwen's expression was somewhat unpleasant:

"It's been a year, and you still haven't obtained your fourth spirit ring. You're wasting your talent. Even if you're a genius at Shrek Academy, you can't recklessly waste your golden period of cultivation!"

Before the age of twenty, it wouldn't be difficult for Huo Yuhao to level up four or five levels in a year. With his talent, he should be aiming for level fifty by now, instead of still being stuck at level forty.

"The location of this mission involves several settlements of spirit-attribute soul beasts. See if there are any suitable ones. If so, hunt them down. Zi Mu, Ke Ke, I don't care about any conflicts you had before. You must cooperate well with Huo Yuhao during this mission."

Faced with the serious expression of Xuan Ziwen, even Zi Mu, who was unhappy with Huo Yuhao, obediently agreed.

"Even if Teacher Xuan hadn't said anything, I was planning to take this opportunity to hunt souls anyway."

Huo Yuhao agreed without hesitation. Two days ago, Elder Yi said that the issue of the fourth spirit ring had been resolved, and Huo Yuhao had originally planned to take advantage of this holiday to get his fourth spirit ring.

only……

Huo Yuhao looked at Keke and Zimu beside him.

How can I obtain my fourth spirit ring while avoiding these two?

How about we find an opportunity to knock them both unconscious and then sneak out? With Electrox's level of research on souls, altering a small portion of memories shouldn't be too difficult, right?

"Achoo!"

Zimu and Keke sneezed at the same time, and looked at each other with some confusion.

Day two.

"This place is fairly open and flat; how about we rest here for a while?"

Huo Yuhao, whose face was somewhat pale, looked at the small plain below and took the initiative to make a suggestion.

Zi Mu and Ke Ke exchanged a glance, nodded, and gradually slowed down as they began to descend to the ground. Huo Yuhao followed the two, looking relieved as they began their descent.

These two guys, if they don't say anything, they really don't pay attention to their own state.

Filled with resentment, Huo Yuhao sat down cross-legged and began to recover his soul power.

"I didn't expect Huo Yuhao to be so stubborn."

Keke looked at Huo Yuhao, who had instantly entered a meditative state, with a mischievous grin.

Half an hour ago, Ke Ke noticed that Huo Yuhao's soul power was running low, but she didn't expect that Huo Yuhao would actually hold on for so long.

They flew at a speed of 80 or 90 kilometers per hour for an hour and a half. Even the two Soul Kings were starting to feel their soul power failing.

Fifteen minutes later.

"uh-huh?"

As soon as Keke opened her eyes, she saw Huo Yuhao eating a box of rice.

"Your soul power recovered so quickly?"

Keke looked at Huo Yuhao in disbelief.

Huo Yuhao shoveled rice into his mouth and mumbled, "I've recovered."

Strange, I didn't see Huo Yuhao using a baby bottle, so how come he recovered faster than the two Soul Kings?

The soul masters at Shrek Academy are truly monstrous.

Keke stopped thinking about things she couldn't understand and attributed the cause to Shrek Academy. Seeing how much Huo Yuhao was eating, Keke's appetite was also whetted. She took out two lunch boxes from her storage soul tool and put them into the soul tool heater to prepare for the meal.

When Zimu woke up, the soul-guided heater had just finished being added. Keke wasn't afraid of the heat and simply picked up a lunchbox and tossed it to Zimu.

"Ugh."

Zi Mu took the lunchbox, but after only a few bites, he suddenly sighed.

Attracted by the sighing sound, Keke mumbled, "Why are you sighing for no reason?"

Zi Mu glanced at the boxed lunch in his hand and said helplessly, "The last time we came here, Orange made barbecue for us herself, but now we can only eat this boxed lunch. It's really..."

"Tsk tsk."

Coco joked, "Are you craving the food made with oranges, or are you craving oranges themselves?"

Zi Mu had been pursuing Ju Zi for quite some time, but unfortunately, until Ju Zi dropped out of school, Zi Mu never received a kind look from her, after all, Ju Zi's ambitions were not in matters of romance.

Zi Mu thought for a moment and said, "I want both."

This boxed meal is pre-made and heated, so it's okay to fill your stomach, but the taste is barely palatable. However, the thought of having to eat this for a while makes me lose all motivation.
