Chapter 182 Farewell
Wang Dong said with dissatisfaction, "I haven't been slacking off at all!"
It should be noted that Wang Dong has already reached level 40, and as long as he obtains a soul ring, he can advance to the Soul Master level.
Keep in mind that Wang Dong was not even in fourth grade yet, but he was already quite strong.
Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, two prominent figures in the Foreign Languages Department, did not fail to break through level 40 when they first entered the fourth year.
But it depends on who you compare him to. Huo Yuhao was only level 15 when the semester started, but now he's already at the peak of level 39, just one step away from Wang Dong.
"Who else could absorb a ten-thousand-year third spirit ring and advance to level thirty-five in one go like you? My speed is already considered fast, okay..."
Amidst this bickering atmosphere, Bei Bei's planned farewell was not completed, as Huo Yuhao successfully steered the mood as well.
However, farewells may be late, but they will never be absent.
A month passed quickly, and it was almost time for the holiday. It was also time for Huo Yuhao to prepare to set off for the Sun Moon Empire.
Wang Dong sat in his dormitory feeling somewhat lonely. Although he had not yet officially become an inner disciple of Shrek Academy, after reaching level 40, he had been staying on Seagod Island to cultivate and receive instruction from Elder Xuan along with Xiao Xiao.
According to Elder Xuan, he could take the Inner Academy entrance exam at the start of the next academic year and officially enter the Inner Academy. The same applied to Xiao Xiao. After all, by then they would all be Soul Master level experts, among the most powerful in combat. If they still couldn't pass the Inner Academy entrance exam, what chance would the others have?
Despite being about to officially enter Shrek Academy, the holy land for Soul Masters, Wang Dong couldn't feel happy at all.
From now on, I can only cultivate alone...
"Bang bang bang!"
Three rapid knocks on the door pulled Wang Dong back from his thoughts.
"Who is it?" Wang Dong asked as he stood up and walked towards the door.
"It's me." A very familiar voice rang out from outside the door. Upon hearing this voice, Wang Dong paused for a moment, then immediately rushed to the door as if flying and pulled it open.
His short black hair looked very neat, and his eyes were clear and deep. It was Huo Yuhao, whom I hadn't seen for a month.
"Don't you have a key? Why are you knocking?"
Wang Dong scolded Huo Yuhao, but his eyes were full of surprise.
Since Huo Yuhao did not become Mu En's disciple, Mu En naturally did not accept Wang Dong as his disciple either.
To Mu En, no matter how outstanding Wang Dong was, the Haotian Sect behind him was ultimately Wang Dong's destiny, so naturally he wouldn't create trouble for him while he needed to recuperate.
In the original story, Huo Gua and Wang Dong were bound together by their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, which gave Mu En hope of recruiting them and led him to take the heir of a large family as his disciple.
Without the identity of Master Mu's disciple, Wang Dong is currently cultivating in the Sea God Pavilion, but his dormitory is still the one in the outer courtyard.
Huo Yuhao replied matter-of-factly, "Didn't we agree to knock before entering? Of course, I have to do the job after I've been paid."
Wang Dong immediately bristled like a cat with its fur standing on end: "You dare bring that up?! You extorted five thousand gold soul coins from me right at the start of the semester!"
It makes me angry just thinking about it. Wang Dong had forgotten about it over the years, but Huo Yuhao reopened the wound.
"Hehe, I have to thank you. Without your five thousand gold soul coins, I would have had a hard time keeping my body in such good shape for those three months of school."
Huo Yuhao was truly grateful for this; without this difference, perhaps Huo Yuhao's Ice Emperor torso would have been missing a scorpion tail.
Although Huo Yuhao has not used any soul bone skills yet, the physical improvement from his torso bones has greatly helped him in his daily cultivation, and his second soul ring is 1,500 years older than Huo Gui's.
"you!"
Wang Dong's anger, which he had finally managed to suppress, suddenly erupted, and he pounced on Huo Yuhao, unleashing a barrage of punches to his chest.
After hammering for a while, he ended up tiring himself out. He got up, panting, and released Huo Yuhao, who had been pinned down.
"You've vented your anger, so don't get angry about it again, okay?"
Huo Yuhao shook his soul power, dispelling the dust from his body, and said in a cheeky tone.
You have to know that Huo Yuhao has a torso and bones, so Wang Dong's little fist had no power at all when it hit him.
Huo Yuhao's antics only earned him a cold snort from Wang Dong.
Huo Yuhao wasn't annoyed. He said seriously, "Alright, enough joking. I've come to say goodbye. I'm leaving tomorrow."
Wang Dong's heart skipped a beat: "What? You're leaving tomorrow?"
They only finished their final exams today, why are they in such a hurry?
"Would I lie to you? I just came back to pack my things."
As he spoke, Huo Yuhao's storage ring flashed with silver light, taking everything on his table into it.
"Is it really time to leave..."
Watching Huo Yuhao pack his luggage nonchalantly, Wang Dong clenched his fists tightly.
Although they had rarely seen Huo Yuhao in the past six months, they all knew that he was researching soul tools and could hear news about Huo Yuhao from Zhou Yi.
But this time is different. Once they go to the Sun Moon Empire, it will be very difficult to find out any news about Huo Yuhao...
Whether he's doing well, whether he's getting enough rest, whether he has a girlfriend... she has no way of knowing any of these things...
Wang Dong said somewhat impulsively, "I'll go find Elder Mu again. I must go with you..."
Huo Yuhao grabbed Wang Dong, who was about to rush out, saying, "It's no use. How can Elder Mu change his mind once he's made a decision? Besides, you don't like soul tools at all. Going there will only affect your cultivation. You'll only delay yourself. Staying is the best choice. Moreover, with you staying at the academy, you can better supervise Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen's studies. Three years later, they will be our biggest opponents in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament. In the last tournament, they were already five-ring level experts. If we meet again, they will definitely bring us more trouble."
Wang Dong clenched his fists. "But this separation will last for two and a half years. Thinking about that time, I..."
"It's only been two and a half years, right? It'll be over in the blink of an eye."
Huo Yuhao said nonchalantly, while looking at Wang Dong with amusement, "How come you've become so sentimental after not seeing you for a while, just like a virgin?"
"Get out! You're the one who's good!"
After this unexpected turn of events, much of the sadness that had just welled up in Wang Dong's heart dissipated.
Huo Yuhao yawned and said, "Alright, that's enough chatting. We need to get some sleep tonight, we have to travel tomorrow."
Having not closed his eyes for the past two days while fixing system bugs, even a Soul Master like Huo Yuhao was feeling sleepy after two days of intense mental work. He immediately collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep, not giving Wang Dong a chance to continue speaking.
This guy...
Looking at Huo Yuhao, who had fallen asleep immediately, Wang Dong was full of dissatisfaction, but his eyes showed more heartache.
I've heard that learning about soul tools is very mentally taxing; Huo Yuhao must be exhausted.
