Chapter 14: Tian Meng's One Finger (Part 1)

  Yesterday, he made money from roasting fish. Before going to watch Beibei and Xu Sanshi's match with Tang Ya, Huo Yuhao hadn't forgotten to dig out the golden soul coin from the oven. When he arrived at the cafeteria with Wang Dong, he had a somewhat arrogant and wealthy air about him.

  This breakfast was exceptionally sumptuous, greatly replenishing the body's needs. They were among the first to arrive at the cafeteria, and by the time they finished eating, there still weren't many students who had arrived.

  "It's still a while before class, let's head back to the dorm." Huo Yuhao patted his satisfied belly and stretched out his body, looking refreshed.

  Since coming to Shrek Academy, his mood has also gradually improved. Here, he finally had friends and caring teachers like Xiaoya and Master Brother Beibei, which was much better than the cold atmosphere in the Duke's mansion.

  "Wang Dongdao said, 'You should take it easy. You need to go back and cultivate again. If the strings are too tight, they will break. When you need to relax, you must relax, or else. Let's go, we'll go for a walk by the Sea God Lake, relax a bit. The Xuan Shui Dan just helped you increase your cultivation by a lot, so it doesn't matter about this little while.'"

  "Alright." Huo Yu Hao readily agreed, and since he hadn't been to the Sea God Lake in the few days since school started, and it wasn't far from class time anyway, going for a walk was fine.

  The two of them left the cafeteria, went around the new teaching building, and headed east along the south side of Slake Square, soon arriving at the lakeside path.

  Passing through the forest beside the small path, the sparkling Lake of the Sea God appeared before their eyes.

  A gentle mist of water vapor mixed with fresh air came rushing, the Sea God Lake is only an artificial lake, but the lake water is extremely clear. The azure blue lake water is pure and deep, also gentle and elegant, on the blue brocade-like lake surface, a layer of slight ripples rose and fell, like a young girl's sparkling autumn waves. Reflecting the inverted image of the blue sky and white clouds and the green trees along the lakeside.

  "How beautiful!" Wang Dong couldn't help but take a deep breath and stretched his body vigorously.

  When he stretched his body, his shirt inevitably pulled up, revealing a round and plump buttocks. Huo Yuhao was not intentionally staring at that place, but an unintentional glance reminded him of the white flower he saw yesterday...

  With a slightly awkward turn of the head, he gazed out at the distant Haishen Lake. The lake's vast expanse seemed to surpass even the main campus of Slake Academy west of Slake Square. A thin layer of mist still lingered on the water's surface in the distance.

  After Huo Yu's Purple Extreme Demon Eye evolved, the visual acuity of his spiritual eyes was greatly enhanced again. Even without infusing his soul power into his spiritual eyes, he could still see far away. He vaguely saw that among the water mist on the distant lake surface, there seemed to be a house-like shape. Recalling Xiaoya and Beibei's descriptions, he couldn't help but think secretly that it should be the inner courtyard over there.

  Senior brother is such an excellent soul master, yet he can only study in the outer court. Just how strong must the seniors in the inner court be?!

  "Huh?" Just as Huo Yu Hao was deep in thought, he suddenly seemed to see a red dot appear out of the mist on the lake.

  "What's wrong?" Wang Dong asked in puzzlement.

  He pointed in the direction he saw, "Look, there seems to be a red dot over there."

  Wang Dong looked in the direction that Huo Yu Hao was pointing, but all he saw was a patch of mist. "Where is it?" He had just questioned Huo Yu Hao's words when his eyes widened in shock. He also saw it - a red dot, which was clearly a red figure speeding across the water at an astonishing speed, and it seemed to be charging towards them.

  Huo Yu Hao and Wang Dong exchanged a glance, simultaneously exclaiming: "Inner Court Senior?"

  That red figure's speed was really astonishing, in just a short while, he had already rushed to the center of the lake, and every time his toes touched the surface of the water, it would create a ripple, but he also relied on that slight buoyancy to accelerate continuously, like a red cloud rapidly floating forward.

  As he got closer, Huo Yu Hao could see more clearly that the red figure was not just wearing red clothes, but also had blood-red hair. He had a slender build, but his whole body emitted a fierce and menacing aura, like a terrifying beast. His face wore a red mask, and even his eyes were blood-red.

  The air around him was slightly distorted, and wherever he passed, there were wisps of water vapor swirling at his feet.

  "This senior looks really strong! Look, he can run on the surface of the lake without even releasing his martial soul." Wang Dong excitedly analyzed to Huo Yuhao.

  Huo Yuhao's repair was not as good as his, but his senses were much sharper. "Wang Dong, I feel like something is off!"

  That red figure came too quickly, and in the time they were talking, it had already approached within a hundred meters of the shore. A terrifying high temperature suddenly swept over, and both He Yu Hao and Wang Dong's eyes revealed a look of horror at the same time. Because they simultaneously felt that the senior had burst out with an indescribable aura of madness, which was not something a normal person should have.

  "With a whoosh, the azure wings unfolded behind Wang Dong, and he grabbed Huo Yuhao, ready to take off into the air. But just as he made this move, that red figure had already arrived right before them."

  A terrifying high temperature burst, Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao felt as if they were covered by a sea of fire. The pair of wings that Wang Dong had opened behind him curled up instantly and could no longer fly, the two plummeted to the ground simultaneously. All vegetation within tens of meters around them turned yellowish-brown in an instant.

  The gap in cultivation was just too great, Wang Dong still wanted to try and release his own soul technique, but his soul power had only just been mobilized when he immediately suffered the impact of that terrifying heat, letting out a muffled groan as he directly fell into unconsciousness.

  Huo Yuhao's cultivation was still inferior to Wang Dong, but don't forget that he also had an unformed martial soul which was ice.

  Exposed to the intense heat of the outside world, this ice-attributed martial soul was immediately activated, but Huo Yuhao's twelve-level peak soul power was consumed by the external scorching heat in just one second. Moreover, a large hand of the red figure had already slapped towards him fiercely.

  The temperature around his body is already so terrifying, if he were to be hit head-on, wouldn't it be a miserable and tragic death?

  Huò Yǔhào's last resort was to launch a soul attack. However, the gap between them was too great, and his soul attack couldn't even penetrate the thick fire-attributed aura, dissipating in the heat instead. He was about to be incinerated by that scorching giant palm.

  At this moment, He Yu Hao's eyes suddenly turned blank, and everything around him became blurred.
