"Xiaotao, how are you feeling?" Yan Shaozhe changed the subject.
Ma Xiaotao took several deep breaths. As the flush on her face faded, she calmed down. "I can feel that the Evil Fire itself hasn't been eliminated, but it has been greatly suppressed. If I cultivate with all my strength, ignoring the Evil Fire, it will take at least a month for it to resurface. As for an outbreak, it will be at least three months."
Yan Shaozhe's eyes lit up. "Does that mean you'll have a perfect month for cultivation without any restrictions?"
"That's right." Ma Xiaotao nodded.
"Then why don't I help senior sister once a month?" Huo Yuhao chimed in.
Yan Shaozhe glanced at the two of them, a chuckle welling up inside him. "That's exactly what I was thinking."
Ma Xiaotao's lips moved, as if she wanted to say something, but then she saw Huo Yuhao staring at her intently. His gaze was filled with a certain… aggression.
Ma Xiaotao was taken aback.
In that instant, she suddenly recalled the scenes by Seagod Lake not long ago.
Huo Yuhao stood by the lake and shouted.
"Senior Sister, do you like guys younger than you?"
"Coincidentally, I like girls older than me."
Ma Xiaotao suddenly felt like her mind wasn't working right. Previously, during the Seagod's Fate event at the academy, she was just a spectator, watching the senior students declare everything and get together. She had even acted as if she understood everything. How come she suddenly couldn't understand things today?
"Xiaotao, do you agree?" Yan Shaozhe asked.
"Ah... I agree." Ma Xiaotao reacted quickly, replying in a hurry.
"Very good," Yan Shaozhe said. "In the future, when you cultivate, remember to pay attention to when the Evil Fire appears. As soon as it does, immediately have Yuhao absorb it."
"Alright, since things are finished, I'll take Yuhao back to the Outer Court."
Yan Shaozhe also saw that Ma Xiaotao was confused right now, probably wouldn't be able to understand anything, so he left with Huo Yuhao.
Looking at Huo Yuhao's back, Ma Xiaotao subconsciously reached out and touched her lips, unable to help but shake her head and smile.
"Yuhao." At the edge of Seagod Lake in the Outer Court, Yan Shaozhe looked at Huo Yuhao.
"What is it, Teacher?" Huo Yuhao was puzzled.
Yan Shaozhe patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder. "You must work hard. Absorbing the Evil Fire is a good opportunity to cultivate feelings."
Huo Yuhao was taken aback. He hadn't expected Yan Shaozhe to be so direct. He smiled and nodded. "I will."
"Very good," Yan Shaozhe said, clearly pleased. "Although there's a few years' difference in your ages, it won't matter much in a few decades."
"After you take the Soul Gathering Pill, you should be close to becoming a Great Soul Master. I'll take you to get a soul ring then. Go back and rest."
"Farewell, Teacher." Huo Yuhao responded and quickly returned to his dorm.
As soon as he got back, Wang Dong immediately stood up from his bed. "Where did you go?"
"Just went for a walk outside," Huo Yuhao said casually and headed to the bathroom with his clothes.
Wang Dong's expression was a bit strange. He smelled a fragrance on Huo Yuhao that wasn't usually there.
This guy... something's not right.
As usual, Huo Yuhao chose to spend the night in cultivation. He took two pills one after the other; the two pills didn't conflict, so he could take them together.
The Enlightenment Pill and the Soul Gathering Pill hadn't appeared in the original novel. The former was a rare pill that increased spiritual power, and one cost 500,000 gold soul coins. This was a unique offering of Shrek Academy.
The Soul Gathering Pill was like a sister to the Soul Ascension Pill, but with a continuous effect. Before taking it, Huo Yuhao's cultivation was only at level seventeen. After taking it, he was already at level nineteen after just one night.
As for Wang Dong, he was speechless, aside from being shocked.
But Huo Yuhao's cultivation boost also spurred him to work harder. After all, he was only at level twenty-two now.
And from the second day of school, Wang Yan's teaching style and abilities truly gave the students a great surprise.
When Wang Yan taught the theory classes, he would discuss many things not found in the textbooks. At the same time, he would give special guidance according to the different students' martial souls. For example, if a student's martial soul was vines, Wang Yan would list a full six different development paths for them to choose from.
He even listed which soul beasts to obtain the most suitable soul ring combinations from later on. As for the physical training class, it was even more surprising.
Wang Yan's understanding of physical training wasn't just about making the students run laps. He directly arranged six major training templates: speed training, endurance training, strength training, explosive power training, body balance training, and body reaction training.
However, this was a Soul Master academy, unlike the military where they just pushed ordinary people. The key was how to train soul power and soul skills.
Therefore, after arranging the physical training for each student, Wang Yan also had each student release their soul skills for demonstration. He analyzed the weaknesses in each student's soul skill release and corrected them. What made the students even more impressed was that, except for the auxiliary and food system students, all other students demonstrated their soul skills individually.
Wang Yan didn't have the students watch together; he guided them individually. This also avoided exposing the characteristics of that student.
Even if the students themselves didn't think so much at first, Wang Yan did.
Under this kind of teaching, everyone benefited greatly.
For example, Wang Dong's Winged Guillotine. He could use his high-speed flight to influence his enemies with the wind, but Wang Dong never paid attention to this point. Wang Yan pointed out this oversight harshly.
Also, during the previous sparring sessions, Huo Yuhao had always suppressed him with soul tools. Wang Dong could have used half of his wings to protect himself and the other half to attack, but Wang Dong had never done this either. The power of the soul tool's rays was strong, but they certainly couldn't directly destroy his wings.
Wang Yan's teaching opened a door for Wang Dong, who suddenly understood many things.
Without Zhou Yi's suppression, the students' spirits were much improved, and they were particularly supportive of the training methods Wang Yan assigned.
Among them, a special training was added: Pressure Resistance Training.
A month passed like this.
"Hold on!" Wang Yan looked at the trembling crowd in the assessment area platform with a serious expression.
In the center of the competition stage, a black soul ring was hovering above Huo Yuhao, and a strong sense of pressure was constantly surging outwards.
The students gritted their teeth and desperately persevered.
Yes, Wang Yan had worked wonders with Huo Yuhao's Simulated Soul Skill.
A person's body, no matter how good it is, no matter how strong their abilities, is useless without the ability to withstand pressure.
The more pressure one can endure, the calmer they will be at critical moments.
The first-year students of Class One had been undergoing this Pressure Resistance Training for a full month.
From the initial entry at the ten-thousand-year level, the students had progressed to the twenty-thousand-year level, constantly improving.
Ten minutes later, Huo Yuhao retracted his soul rings. The students immediately struggled to keep their bodies from collapsing, but they did not rest.
Seeing the students' perseverance, Wang Yan's lips curled into a smile of satisfaction.
In one month, under his guidance, every student in the class had increased their cultivation by more than one rank. Furthermore, their use of soul skills had become more proficient, not to mention their physical training.
"Alright, Pressure Resistance Training is over. You can go find the class monitor to give him some trouble," Wang Yan said with a chuckle.
On the other side, Huo Yuhao didn't hesitate at all, darting towards the entrance of the assessment area like a rabbit.
"Get the class monitor."
"Beat him up."
"I'm going to grind the class monitor's iron pillar into a needle today."
Eighty-one students, barely holding back their exhaustion, charged towards Huo Yuhao with smiles on their faces.
There was a rule in Class One: Huo Yuhao didn't participate in the Pressure Resistance Training, but he had to endure everyone's attacks. If he could run out of the assessment area, he'd win. If he couldn't, he'd have to accept everyone's "care."
Stuff like the "care" of eating lemons, and the "care" of spreading Huo Yuhao's legs and shoving him against a wall.
During the chase, the students couldn't activate their martial souls, but they could use their soul power.
As for why only eighty-one students were chasing, it was because Song Qinghan had already transferred to the Soul Tool Department.
"Indeed, being with these children makes me feel young again," Wang Yan said, his eyes filled with smiles.
In two months, the New Student Assessment would certainly surprise the other classes' students.
The second soul ring would play a significant role later in the story. Guess what the skill is.
