Chapter 77 I'll Take Care of You for Life
The soft moonlight shone on the surface of Poseidon Lake, making the water shimmer with silver light, as if it were draped in a layer of pure white gauze.
The lake water gently lapped against the shore, splashing up tiny droplets and making a rhythmic, soft sound.
On the island in the middle of the lake, the vegetation is almost all over a thousand years old, with some towering trees reaching hundreds of meters in height and covered with lush foliage.
Near the top of the island, there is a simple, three-story pavilion.
This pavilion was built against a large tree, blending seamlessly with the ancient tree.
The first floor of the Sea God Pavilion is furnished in an extremely simple and rustic style.
The spacious hall now seemed somewhat empty, with only a long table in the center.
Moon was lying on a recliner in the corner of the hall, rocking gently, completely oblivious to the argument between the three people in front of him.
Yan Shaozhe, dressed in white, had a livid face as he stared at Xian Lin'er and said, "Xian Lin'er, Huo Yuhao's cultivation level is now close to level 30."
Don't you know how slow the cultivation speed becomes after the Ultimate Martial Soul reaches level 30? If you don't seize this golden period of cultivation, do you want him to waste time on soul tools?
Xian Lin'er crossed her arms and retorted without backing down, "Yan Shaozhe, stop talking nonsense. Yuhao has his own plans."
You said that putting him in the Soul Guidance Department was a waste of his talent, and that the Martial Soul Department had experience in cultivating ultimate Martial Soul Masters. But Yuhao's ultimate Martial Soul attribute is ice. Has your Martial Soul Department ever had experience cultivating ultimate ice?
"Xian Lin'er, that's not what I meant at all. Don't try to twist my words." Yan Shaozhe was exasperated by Xian Lin'er's firm stance, and he raised a hand to his forehead.
"Elder Xuan, why don't you say a few words and persuade Xian Lin'er? Isn't it just a waste of Huo Yuhao's talent to keep him in the Soul Guidance Department?"
Upon hearing this, Elder Xuan wiped his oil-stained hands on his tattered robe and opened his sleepy eyes: "I say, why are you so stubborn, girl?"
Shao Zhe isn't asking you not to be Huo Yuhao's teacher, but everything should be prioritized. Will it be too late to learn about soul tools later when Huo Yuhao becomes a Title Douluo?
"Elder Xuan, you're just making rash conclusions because you don't understand soul tools." Xian Lin'er retorted without any politeness. "According to you, why doesn't the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy wait until students' soul power level is high before they systematically learn about soul tools?"
"Now is the golden age for cultivation, isn't it also the golden age for learning soul tools? By the time Yuhao becomes a Title Douluo, it will probably be decades later. By then, his thinking will be fixed, how could he possibly still have the spirituality to become a level nine soul master?"
She paused, then snorted coldly, looking at Elder Xuan: "Elder Xuan, with your cultivation level so high, surely learning about soul tools shouldn't be a problem for you now, right?"
Elder Xuan was somewhat embarrassed after being rebuked by Xian Lin'er.
His mind was filled with nothing but wine and delicious food. The thought of those intricate soul-guided device core arrays, which resembled scribbles, made his face darken.
It would be better to make him quit drinking than to send him to study that.
Elder Xuan's face darkened, and his tone became stern: "Why can't you understand me, girl? Martial Soul is the foundation of a Soul Master, and it is also the foundation upon which our Shrek Academy stands."
"How about this? Shao Zhe, you select ten of the most talented core disciples from the Martial Soul Department, and let Lin'er choose three from among them to replace them. That should be acceptable, right?"
Upon hearing Elder Xuan's words, Xian Lin'er's anger intensified.
"Elder Xuan, what are you saying! Are the core disciples of the Martial Soul Department not coming to the Soul Guidance Department because they can't come?"
Most of them simply lacked talent in crafting soul tools; staying in the soul tool department was a complete waste of time. Besides, how could all those people combined compare to Yuhao?
Seeing that Elder Xuan was speechless after being refuted by Xian Lin'er, Yan Shaozhe could only try to smooth things over again:
"Then how about this? From now on, the Martial Soul Department will no longer select core disciples before the third year. Instead, after the third year, we will conduct the selection together with your Soul Guidance Department, allowing students to choose their own future cultivation direction."
At the same time, the Martial Soul Department will offer more courses on the use of Soul Tools. In this way, it's believed that within a few decades, the Soul Tool Department will have a much larger influx of fresh talent.
Upon hearing Yan Shaozhe's proposed solution, Xian Lin'er's expression softened considerably.
As for Huo Yuhao, Xian Lin'er felt that she had nothing left to teach him.
In these three months, she actually received a lot of guidance from Huo Yuhao on certain ideas for soul tool manufacturing.
For high-level Soul Masters, a flash of inspiration is the most important thing.
Xian Lin'er sometimes even felt that if it weren't for the limitations of his cultivation level, Huo Yuhao would probably have been able to carve a level nine soul tool core formation long ago.
However, despite saying that, it's absolutely impossible for her to give up Huo Yuhao.
Xian Lin'er naturally understood that Yan Shaozhe had said so much, going around in circles, but it was all because he was still thinking about Ma Xiaotao.
Before Xianlin could figure out how to continue her rebuttal, Mu En, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up.
"How old are you all? Why are you still so impatient?"
His voice wasn't loud, but it instantly silenced the three people arguing heatedly.
"Ultimately, have you all been arguing here without ever asking the child what he thinks?"
Moon glanced at the three people in front of him with his slightly cloudy eyes and said softly, "Although I haven't had much contact with that child, I saw a lion in his eyes."
He appears gentle and humble on the surface, but in reality, neither you nor the academy can determine his future.
Yan Shaozhe felt a sudden tremor in his heart when he heard Mu En's high praise for Huo Yuhao.
He cautiously probed, "Then, teacher, I don't know what you mean...?"
"The best thing you can do now is to leave everything as it is."
"Huh?" Yan Shaozhe, Xian Lin'er, and Xuan Zi were all stunned when they heard Mu En's words.
A faint smile appeared on Moon's face: "What you need to do now is not to force him to make a choice, but to provide him with a relaxed and comfortable cultivation environment as much as possible."
Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but speak up, "But, teacher, whether it's the Martial Soul system or the Soul Guidance system, as the knowledge learned becomes more and more profound, the energy required will inevitably increase. Trying to do two things at once might..."
"Actually, you've all fallen into a misconception," Moon interrupted him.
"The real difference between the Martial Soul system and the Soul Guidance system lies only in the emphasis on combat methods and techniques; there is no fundamental difference. So you don't need to overcomplicate this matter."
Mu En smiled gently and waved his hand: "Alright, it's getting late. Don't disturb this old man's peace and quiet. Go back and rest."
"Yes."
Seeing that Mu En had already made up his mind, the three of them didn't say anything more, bowed together, and left the Sea God Pavilion.
The first floor of the Sea God Pavilion became completely quiet.
Moon lay in his rocking chair, gazing out the window into the distance, and murmured to himself, "This old man can't hold on for many more years. Perhaps... it's time for me to see my old friends."
……
The sun was shining brightly in the early morning.
"Um……"
The red-haired girl woke up from her sleep.
Ma Xiaotao sat up sleepily, stretched, and her phoenix eyes still held a somewhat dazed look.
She glanced down at her pink pajamas, then quickly pulled back the covers and carefully checked the sheets, but didn't see any of the expected red stains.
I didn't feel any physical discomfort; on the contrary, I felt energetic and refreshed.
It feels a bit strange.
I clearly grasped the future last night, so how did I suddenly lose my memory? What happened after that?
Ma Xiaotao was a little confused. She looked around the room but didn't see Huo Yuhao.
She got up, got out of bed, and walked downstairs.
As soon as she reached the top of the stairs, Ma Xiaotao saw a lot of steaming food already laid out on the wooden table in the living room, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.
She tiptoed down the stairs and quietly moved to the kitchen door.
Just then, Huo Yuhao was seen wearing an apron and stirring a clay pot with a long spoon.
The morning light streamed through the window and bathed him in a soft glow.
Looking at this scene, Ma Xiaotao suddenly felt that Huo Yuhao had a kind of inexplicable feeling about him.
Husband feeling?
After banishing this strange thought from her mind, Ma Xiaotao took a few steps forward and hugged Huo Yuhao from behind.
Her full breasts were pressed against her back, forming a striking curve.
"Sister Tao, stop fooling around. After I finish cooking this pot, we can eat."
Huo Yuhao felt the soft touch behind him and the warm breath from Ma Xiaotao, but his heart remained pure and free from worldly desires.
Hyotei bit too hard last night, leaving him in a sage state.
"Yuhao, what are you cooking? It smells so good." Ma Xiaotao leaned her head affectionately on Huo Yuhao's shoulder, asking about the food, but her eyes were fixed on Huo Yuhao's profile.
"Seafood porridge made with peony lobster as the main ingredient contains rich and pure nutrients that are easily absorbed by the body. It can also restore physical strength and enhance physical fitness..." Huo Yuhao explained patiently.
The latest novel is first published here!
"Hmm." Ma Xiaotao's face flushed slightly. Listening to Huo Yuhao's introduction, she felt something was off. "Yuhao, what exactly happened between us last night?"
Huo Yuhao's lips twitched slightly.
If Hyotei hadn't intervened in time to knock Ma Xiaotao unconscious, he probably would have lost his virginity last night.
But since both I and Hyotei have gone through that, does this count?
"Sister Xiaotao, you couldn't take it anymore and fainted." Huo Yuhao said this nonsense with a straight face.
"And what about the clothes I'm wearing?" Ma Xiaotao's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.
"Um, um..." Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered slightly. "Sister Xiaotao, your clothes got frostbitten, so I found a clean one in the closet for you to change into. I couldn't let you..."
Ma Xiaotao interrupted him without hesitation, her tone teasing: "So, Yuhao, when you were sober, you looked at me and touched me?"
Huo Yuhao was sweating profusely.
Given yesterday's situation, how could Hyotei possibly let him change Ma Xiaotao's pajamas after it was all over?
Therefore, he could only admit half of what Ma Xiaotao said.
Seeing Huo Yuhao's nervous expression, Ma Xiaotao parted her red lips slightly and exhaled warm breath: "You little rascal, you got off easy. Alright, Yuhao, I'm hungry. When can we start eating?"
Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It'll be ready soon. Sister Xiaotao, you..."
"This isn't your fault, Yuhao. Do you think I'm some unreasonable woman?" Ma Xiaotao huffed, released her grip on Huo Yuhao, and turned to walk out of the kitchen.
"But Yuhao, you cook so well, I really want to eat your food for the rest of my life."
Huo Yuhao paused slightly before speaking, "Alright, then I'll take care of Sister Xiaotao for the rest of my life."
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Ma Xiaotao, who was walking out, paused and muttered under her breath, "You little devil, I'd be more likely to support you for the rest of my life."
……
All the freshmen who passed the freshman assessment have gathered in Shrek Square, waiting for the upcoming class assignments.
Standing at the forefront of the students was Du Weilun, the director of the Foreign Languages Department of Shrek Academy, along with more than ten teachers from the Foreign Languages Department.
Huo Yuhao looked up but couldn't see Zhou Yi, which he found strange.
However, Tang San was missing from the group of students in Class One.
It seems he has already dropped out of school and run away overnight.
If Tang San from the God Realm wanted to bypass the central hub of the God Realm and observe the situation in the Douluo Plane, he would either rely on the divine sense within Wang Dong'er's spiritual sea or on the contingency plans left behind by the Clear Sky Sect.
One day in the realm of gods is equivalent to one year on earth.
Knowing that Tang San from the God Realm had his eye on him, Tang San's decision to leave Shrek Academy and stay as far away from Wang Dong'er as possible is not entirely incomprehensible.
Huo Yuhao sensed the mark he had left in Tang San's spiritual sea and confirmed that its location was far away from Shrek City, a smile appearing on his face.
At this moment, Du Weilin, holding a folder in his hand, smiled and scanned the group of students, then cleared his throat and said:
"As you all know, the several-day-long freshman assessment elimination round has concluded, and the top three have been determined. Now, I will officially announce the assessment results and the rewards they will receive."
"Third place in the freshman assessment: Huang Chutian's team. Team members are Huang Chutian, Lan Susu, and Lan Luoluo. Please step forward, all three students."
Yes, Huang Chutian's team has once again achieved a commendable third place.
The Xiehuanyue team, which was not eliminated early, successfully entered the top four, but they lost to Dai Huabin's group in the semi-finals.
Meanwhile, Xie Huanyue was absent from the semi-final match due to Dai Huabin's serious injury, which directly led to Huang Chutian's team winning third place.
Led by Huang Chutian, the three of them walked out together and came to Du Weiren.
Applause erupted from all around, and the three young men's faces flushed slightly with excitement.
Duvellen gestured for them to stand aside and continued announcing:
"Second place, Dai Huabin's team, team members are Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, and Cui Yajie. Please come forward, three students."
Applause rang out again, but Dai Huabin and the other two looked somewhat puzzled after stepping out of the line.
Dai Huabin's face showed no excitement whatsoever, his eyes were even bloodshot, and his brows were furrowed with gloom; his whole demeanor was very off.
Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie, who were following behind him, deliberately kept several steps away from him, as if they were not a team.
Huo Yuhao understood what was going on when he saw Dai Huabin's expression, as if his father had just died.
The fate-stripping I imposed on him on the field has already taken effect. Perhaps it won't be long before Dai Huabin's innate soul power is completely drained away without him even realizing it, until his martial soul is completely shattered.
In addition, Zhu Lu told her yesterday that Dai Huabin had discovered her true identity.
So, in this life, Dai Huabin will probably arrange for someone to assassinate him soon.
"Finally, we became the champions of our freshman assessment."
After a slight pause, Du Weiren raised his voice slightly, seemingly to build up the atmosphere, and spoke in a somewhat solemn tone.
"This is Huo Yuhao's team from Class 9 of the freshmen program. The team members are Huo Yuhao, Ning Tian, and Wu Feng. Please give them a warm round of applause!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire audience erupted in cheers and applause that were more enthusiastic than ever before.
Huo Yuhao's name has now spread throughout the entire outer academy of Shrek Academy.
With exceptional talent, formidable strength, outstanding appearance, and a gentle and composed demeanor, he can be considered the dream lover of most female students in the Foreign Languages Department.
