Chapter 9: Runaway Ma Xiaotao "Fortunately, no big mistake was made. It seems that Xiaotao still retained some consciousness. Teacher Li, you send these two students back. Tell them to forget what they saw before. If they spread it to others, they will be expelled. Give them high-level compensation. Let's go back." The old man in white picked up the woman in red, and his figure flashed, and he instantly turned into a white light and rushed towards the depths of Poseidon Lake. The moment Huo Yuhao fainted on the ground, his consciousness fell into chaos. He could no longer perceive anything outside and naturally had no idea what happened next. "You woke me up so early. How annoying!" The voice of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm echoed in the sea of consciousness. Huo Yuhao had a dazed look on his face as he murmured, “Brother Tianmeng, were you the one who attacked just now?” Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said: "Of course it's brother, otherwise, you would have been roasted to pieces long ago. Xiao Yuhao, your cultivation progress is quite smooth, and your physical fitness has improved a lot. The first of the ten seals I left in your body has been partially opened." "Really?" Huo Yuhao couldn't help himself. After arriving at Shrek Academy, he became increasingly aware of his own insignificance. Having witnessed Ye Qian'an's powerful strength, his desire for power became even stronger. Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said rather depressedly: "However, I just used my original power. You can no longer be possessed by my power for at least one year. Well, I won't say any more. I will continue to sleep. You should work harder. When you are promoted to the second ring, you won't have to rely on me all the time." The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm appeared in such a hurry every time. Huo Yuhao wanted to ask it questions about Ye Qian’s martial soul and the strange-colored soul ring, but it had already fallen into a deep sleep and the surroundings returned to darkness. Wang Dong woke up first. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the middle-aged man in white in front of him. Huo Yuhao next to him also groaned and slowly opened his eyes.
Unlike Huo Yuhao who knew the general situation, Wang Dong's mind was completely confused. He shouted angrily, "What on earth is going on? What kind of monster was that just now?" "You need to forget what you just saw. These two things will serve as compensation." As he said this, he threw a green object to Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong respectively. The two of them subconsciously raised their hands to catch it. The middle-aged man in white immediately flew into the air and headed towards Poseidon Lake. "Go to class. Remember, forget everything you saw before." ......... When Ye Qian'an, who was in the classroom, saw Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong arriving on time, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "Xiao Yuhao, why did you come so late today?" Ye Qian'an looked at Huo Yuhao and asked, as if he knew the answer. Huo Yuhao looked helpless and said, “Don’t mention it, Brother Ye, I encountered some unexpected situations.” Ye Qi'an smiled slightly and said, "It's good that nothing happened." Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong hurriedly took their seats and began to listen attentively, but their minds were obviously still preoccupied by their previous experiences and they would become distracted from time to time. Ye Qian'an saw all of this but did not point it out. Gu Yuena, who was sitting next to Ye Qian'an, sensed a trace of Phoenix blood from the two of them, and then communicated with Ye Qian'an mentally, "Did you sense it?" Ye Qian nodded slightly and responded with his spiritual power: "See through but don't speak out." Gu Yuena looked at Ye Qian thoughtfully: "These two little guys are really lucky. They can encounter any bad things. If it weren't for that ice silkworm, these two little guys would be in trouble." "Luck is also a part of strength. When we are unlucky, we can only rely on our strength." Ye Qian'an raised the corner of his mouth and continued to communicate with Gu Yuena with his mental power. Gu Yuena nodded gently: "I hope so." After school at noon, the four of them went to enjoy lunch together. As soon as school was over in the afternoon, Tang Ya showed up. "Let's go, Xiao Yuhao. Teacher Xiaoya will stay by your side to protect you today. Let's see who dares to bully you." Tang Ya said with her hands on her hips. "Teacher Xiaoya, what do you think about my matter?" Wang Dong asked Tang Ya eagerly.
Tang Ya chuckled and said, "I have discussed this with Beibei. Beibei said that if you win first place in the first assessment for freshmen, you will be accepted into our Tang Sect." "Okay, it's a deal." Wang Dong agreed without hesitation. Huo Yuhao didn't ask any more questions and followed Tang Ya out of the academy. Wang Dong hurriedly followed and said, "I'm going too. Huo Yuhao, since we're roommates, I'll take care of your business and buy two grilled fish." Huo Yuhao laughed and said, "I'll treat you to a meal." Wang Dong shook his head and said, "No, friends are friends and business is business. I don't need you to treat me, I can buy it myself." As he said that, he took out a silver soul coin and stuffed it into Huo Yuhao's hand. "Let's go eat fish too." Ye Qian'an looked at Gu Yuena and said expectantly. Gu Yuena thought about how delicious the fish Huo Yuhao had grilled yesterday, smiled slightly, and nodded, "Okay." The group came to Huo Yuhao’s grilled fish stall, and Huo Yuhao began to grill the fish skillfully. Tang Ya smelled the aroma of the grilled fish and couldn't help but praise: "Xiao Yuhao, your grilled fish skills are amazing." Wang Dong urged from the side: "Hurry up, hurry up, I can't wait." Soon, several grilled fish were ready and everyone tasted them. Ye Qian took a bite and praised, "It really tastes great. Huo Yuhao, if you open a shop with your cooking skills, your business will surely be booming." Huo Yuhao smiled shyly: "Brother Ye, thank you for the compliment." At this moment, there were at least thirty people outside the academy waiting for the fish grilled by Huo Yuhao. The most eye-catching among them was Xu Sanshi, who lost to Ye Qian'an in the fighting spirit competition yesterday. Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment when he saw Xu Sanshi, but Tang Ya stepped forward immediately and said, "Why, you are not convinced? How about I go to the fighting spirit area with you today?" Xu Sanshi said unhappily, "You? Forget it, I don't hit women. Don't make trouble, I'm here to buy grilled fish today, not to make trouble." After hearing what he said, Tang Ya's expression eased up, and she said angrily, "Buy it for Jiang Nannan?" "Yeah." Xu Sanshi nodded. Tang Ya teased, "I didn't realize you were so infatuated. It's a pity that others look down on you." Xu Sanshi said angrily: "Tang Ya, don't mess with me!" Ye Qian also took the opportunity to tease Huo Yuhao, “Xiao Yuhao, considering that your brother Xu provided some good stuff yesterday, I will sell him two today.” Huo Yuhao nodded and quickly grilled two fish for Xu Sanshi. Xu Sanshi took the grilled fish, left the money and turned to leave. After Xu Sanshi left, everyone continued to enjoy the delicious grilled fish, and the atmosphere became relaxed and joyful. At the same time, on the other side, in a secret room on the island in the middle of the Sea God Lake, Ma Xiaotao gradually woke up from her coma. "It's so hot and uncomfortable. I'm in so much pain. Hmm?" Slowly, she opened her eyes. Her pupils were a light pink, the original blood color had disappeared, and there was a hint of doubt in her eyes. "Strange, why aren't you hot anymore?" "You're awake." An old voice sounded, sighing, "Xiao Tao, you almost made a big mistake this time! I don't know if it was a coincidence, but an external ice-attributed force surged into your body and suppressed the evil fire in your body. Do you still remember what happened after you rushed out of the Sea God Lake?" Ma Xiaotao was a little dazed. "I... don't remember. At the time, I saw a fiery red in front of my eyes, and then I felt a fatal threat. Then I fainted, and when I woke up, I was here." Yan Shaozhe frowned slightly, walked up to her, and said in a deep voice: "Why didn't you tell me that the evil fire in your body couldn't be suppressed? Do you know that this time it almost caused a disaster?" Ma Xiaotao was stunned for a moment. "I, I never expected it to be so serious. I thought I could control it. But..."
Yan Shaozhe sighed and said, "The longer you suppress it, the more powerful it will be when it explodes. Xiaotao, from now on, you will temporarily stop practicing." Xiao Tao said stubbornly, "No, Teacher, I want to practice. I promise, I won't do it again in the future. I can feel that the evil and heat of the evil fire have been completely suppressed. There will definitely be no problem in the short term. "However, what kind of power can completely suppress my Phoenix Evil Fire?" After hearing what Ma Xiaotao said, Yan Shaozhe pondered for a moment and said, "I have sent people to check on those students from the outer courtyard. I originally thought that they were people sent by their families to guard them, but after checking, I found that this was not the case." Ma Xiaotao asked: "Teacher, what is the name of the student from the outer courtyard?" Yan Shaozhe paused for a moment and said, "The new students from the external school are Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong." Xiao Tao said, "Teacher, forget it. Please don't check it anymore." Yan Shaozhe immediately became angry: "How could I not check? If I can find a male soul master with the ultimate ice attribute, I can let him become a perfect match for you." "It will be able to dissolve the negative effects of the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Spirit in your body. Now, you are already under great restrictions. Not only will your cultivation speed be slowed down, but it may even endanger your life." Xiao Tao's pretty face flushed, "I don't want to get married, and I won't marry someone I don't like just for the sake of my martial spirit." Yan Shaozhe sighed and said, "The problem is that it is difficult to suppress the evil fire when it breaks out!" Xiao Tao snorted and said, "I can suppress it. I just won't marry." Yan Shaozhe said angrily: "Ma Xiaotao, if you continue to be willful, I will no longer recognize you as my disciple." Ma Xiaotao said aggrievedly: "But, teacher, I..." Yan Shaozhe touched her head and said, "Silly girl, you only have one life. No matter what, the teacher will find a good destination for you." ......... "Ye Qian'an, after you finish eating, come back with me to practice." Gu Yuena said to Ye Qian'an who was still eating fish. Ye Qian'an swallowed the fish in his mouth, smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go now." After that, he stood up and left with Gu Yuena. Tang Ya looked at the unusual relationship between Ye Qian and Gu Yuena and was filled with confusion. She then looked at Huo Yuhao and asked, "What's going on between the two of them? Are they practicing together? Doesn't Shrek Academy prohibit men and women from living together?" Just as Tang Ya said this, Wang Dong, who was eating fish, seemed to pause for a moment. Huo Yuhao scratched his head and said, “I’m not too sure about this. Maybe they got permission from the academy under special circumstances.” Wang Dong curled his lips and said, "Who knows, maybe there is some backer." Tang Ya snorted: "Don't worry about them, just do your own thing." Huo Yuhao nodded and continued to eat the grilled fish. Wang Dong seemed to be still thinking about something, his eyes were a little vague. ......... "Qian, are you sure you can break through the next level of seal?" Gu Yuena asked Ye Qian who was walking side by side with her. Ye Qian nodded and said, "With the help of spiritual objects, the probability of breakthrough is 99%. The remaining 1% depends on luck."
Gu Yuena nodded slightly and said, "That's great, but you must not take it lightly." Ye Qianan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on." The two of them chatted at this time and soon returned to the dormitory. "I have completely absorbed the medicinal properties of the thorn fruit. Do I need to take it again now?" Ye Qian'an asked. Gu Yuena thought for a moment and said, "In my opinion, it would be best if you take it every time we practice." "Why?" Ye Qian asked with a puzzled look on his face. Gu Yuena explained: "The medicinal properties of the thorn fruit are strong and overbearing. Taking it during cultivation can guide its power to the greatest extent and merge with your soul power to help break the seal. In addition, your meridians are in an active state during cultivation, so you can better withstand the impact it brings. If you take it normally, you will find it difficult to control the direction of its power, and it may cause damage instead." Ye Qian suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. Then I'll do as you said. While we are practicing, I will take the second spiritual substance now." Gu Yuena nodded slightly: "Then let's start preparing for training now." After Ye Qian'an took the second spiritual object, the two sat opposite each other again, with their hands placed against each other. The Dragon God Core hovered above their heads and rotated slowly, isolating their breath as always. The golden light emanating from Ye Qian'an and the silver light emanating from Gu Yuena merged with each other without a trace of rejection. Just as Gu Yuena said, after he took the spiritual object and the two of them practiced together, Ye Qian'an not only absorbed the medicinal properties of the spiritual object and improved his physical fitness, but also increased his soul power a little. Gu Yuena also benefited a lot. The blood and cultivation of the two blended with each other, making her injuries continue to improve. Compared to her recovery on her own, it is now much easier. After the twists and turns in the first two days of school, Huo Yuhao's college life gradually stabilized and he gradually became famous. His fame did not come from his strength, but from his unique skill of grilling fish. Almost all the students and teachers who tasted Huo Yuhao's grilled fish praised it. Huo Yuhao's grilled fish increased from 20 to 30 per day, but it was still far from meeting the needs of the students and teachers. But he was determined not to increase the number, after all, he wanted to spend more time on cultivation. In order to eat a grilled fish, many students rushed out to line up as soon as school was over. Moreover, due to the short supply of grilled fish, each person had to be limited to one fish. Of course, Ye Qian'an and others did not have this restriction. Even so, Huo Yuhao never raised the price, which was unanimously praised by the students and he also made many friends. Jiang Nannan finally tasted the grilled fish, which she had queued up to buy herself. Although Xu Sanshi failed to please Jiang Nannan with the grilled fish, he himself liked the taste and became a loyal customer of Huo Yuhao. ………～ (End of this chapter)
