Chapter 40: My School Enrollment Experience
"Brother Tianmeng, what's wrong?" Ever since returning to Shrek Academy, Tianmeng hadn't spoken, and when Huo Yuhao tried to talk to him, he was mostly distracted. 💲🐼 🍬🎃
"Uh, it's nothing, I'm just too tired." Tianmeng forced a smile, then plunged into her sea of consciousness, muttering to herself, "That's right, it's her. Why is she here?"
Ye Nanxiao, the instigator of all this, completely ignored Huo Yuhao's strange behavior.
"Xue'er, do you think that worm might just stay away? Maybe it's scared you out of your wits?"
"I only released a little bit of my aura, that worm shouldn't be that timid." The Snow Emperor was also a little doubtful. What if the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was really frightened?
Wait a minute, wasn't this bug always getting beaten up by Bing'er and constantly asking for more force?
After helping Huo Yuhao complete the enrollment procedures, Ye Nanxiao told Huo Yuhao which teachers at Shrek Academy were the most stern, while leading Huo Yuhao on a tour of the academy.
"Yuhao, are you interested in soul tools? After you enter the academy, you will be training in the outer courtyard. For now, you can train in the Martial Soul Department while also studying the Soul Guidance Department," Ye Nanxiao said to Huo Yuhao, who was looking around.
"Soul Guidance System? What's that?" Huo Yuhao asked.
"The so-called soul tool is the so-called soul guidance system, which is the study aimed at creating soul guidance weapons," Ye Nanxiao explained patiently, taking into account that Huo Yuhao grew up in a closed environment.
"Speaking of soul tools, they have a lot to do with our Tang Sect. In a sense, soul tools are weapons that are powered by soul power. The higher the quality of a soul tool, the greater its power. That is to say, even if you are just an ordinary soul master, if you have a powerful soul tool, you can have an attack power comparable to a high-level martial soul master of the same level. The development of soul tools is also the reason for the decline of our Tang Sect." After Ye Nanxiao finished speaking, he glanced at Tang Ya, whose expression remained unchanged.
Beibei noticed Ye Nanxiao's actions, smiled at him, and replied, "Our Tang Clan was at its peak more than four thousand years ago, but the collision between the Sun and Moon Continents brought about soul tools, which is the root cause of our Tang Clan's decline."
Tang Ya said resentfully, "Our Tang Clan is famous for its hidden weapons, and we rely on selling them as our main source of income. Almost every country has purchased a certain number of hidden weapons from us, and even some sects do the same."
"More than four thousand years ago, after the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent clashed, war broke out quickly. The Sun Moon Empire specialized in researching soul tools. Although they were not strong in soul masters, their soul tools were powered by soul power, and were stronger than our hidden weapons in terms of overall damage and attack range. This led to their initial defeat in the war and the heavy losses of the three great empires."
Ye Nanxiao quickly chimed in, "Now we're starting over. It'll be tough, but we'll still be able to recreate our glory days. Don't worry."
Tang Ya turned her head slightly, not wanting anyone to see the tears welling up in her eyes, and whispered, "Nan Xiao, thank you."
"My Lord, our hope has arrived," Ye Nanxiao said with a smile.
The three of them looked at Huo Yuhao in unison. The latter was a little confused, but then he realized what was happening, pointed to himself, and said, "Brother, you mean me?"
Ye Nanxiao nodded. "Shrek Academy's influence is unimaginable, as is the development of Soul Masters. Yuhao, whether you can stay in the academy depends on yourself, but I believe in you."
Huo Yuhao nodded vigorously. "I definitely will!"
Looking at Huo Yuhao's determined expression, Ye Nanxiao patted Huo Yuhao's head with satisfaction, looked up at the sky, and sighed, "The wind is so noisy today."
Tang Ya and Bei Bei both sighed and rubbed their foreheads in exasperation. Although they were not as familiar with Ye Nanxiao's little habits as Jiang Nannan was with him, they still knew them in basic terms. Ye Nanxiao's current pace clearly indicated that he wanted to slack off.
"Hey, Nanxiao, this is your younger brother." Beibei said helplessly. Tang Ya also rolled her eyes at Ye Nanxiao. Only Huo Yuhao didn't know what was going on.
Ye Nanxiao's body gradually turned into snowflakes, flying in one direction with the wind, leaving behind the words, "The wind is getting strong, get out of here."
Huo Yuhao asked curiously, "Sister Xiaoya, Brother Beibei, what's wrong with my brother?"
"He's off chasing girls," Tang Ya said irritably. Every time, Ye Nanxiao would take on the important matters himself and leave the small ones to her, claiming: "Sect Master, don't work too hard."
As the three were talking, a small snowflake quietly slipped into Huo Yuhao's head.
Ye Nanxiao's spirit appeared in Huo Yuhao's sea of consciousness. He slightly raised his right hand, and a vast amount of spiritual power surged out, forcibly and temporarily blocking the connection between Huo Yuhao and his own sea of consciousness. At the moment, Huo Yuhao's spiritual power would not have been able to detect Ye Nanxiao without the help of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
Meanwhile, Tianmeng, whose entire body was made of protein, remained silent.
After waiting for a while, Ye Nanxiao felt that he should speak first, since the silkworm must have noticed him, after all, it was floating so swaggeringly in the air.
Looking at the ocean before him, Ye Nanxiao said, "Big bug, come out."
The ocean began to churn, and on the surface, a giant ice silkworm emerged.
Tianmeng transformed into human form, and a cute little boy wearing a hoodie similar in appearance to Tianmeng's original body appeared in front of Ye Nanxiao, but his expression was very serious.
The moment Ye Nanxiao entered Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, Tianmeng knew. The main reason she watched Ye Nanxiao sever the connection between Huo Yuhao and the spiritual sea was to find out what had happened to Ye Nanxiao.
"Hey, big bug, you look pretty good." Ye Nanxiao gave a thumbs up.
"You are Yuhao's brother. You were able to sever Yuhao's connection with the Sea of Spirit. Are you looking for me?" Tianmeng said seriously. The humiliation of having her home turf forcibly locked up was unimaginable.
"To be precise, it's shielding, not cutting off. It's just a little trick," Ye Nanxiao said casually, glancing at the small gray ball in the corner.
"Electrolux, why aren't you showing yourself?"
The small gray ball trembled, and the gray aura spreading out gradually transformed into an old man draped in a gray robe. His eyes, hidden in the darkness, were fixed intently on Ye Nanxiao. "Little fellow, do you know who I am?"
Looking at Electrolux, Ye Nanxiao thought for a moment and decided not to reveal any information about other worlds. "I don't know. You said your name yourself."
"Oh?" Electrox recalled when he first entered Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea and nodded. "Then, what business do you have with me?"
"Nothing much, just came to see you all and chat with the big bug." Ye Nanxiao used his mental power to conjure a chair and sat down.
"Do you know Xue Di?" Tianmeng asked, voicing her biggest question.
"We've taken the lead on your idea." Ye Nanxiao grinned, his eight snow-white teeth gleaming.
Ye Nanxiao's words were like a bomb, creating a huge impact on Tianmeng's heart.
After a moment's pause, Tianmeng asked, "Snow Empress, you made the same choice as me? Why?"
Tianmeng remembered that she had shared her ideas with the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor, but the two emperors simply ignored her.
"It's simple, it's fate," Ye Nanxiao said with a smile.
"Is it fate?" Tianmeng lowered her head, her brows furrowed.
"Then why did you come to see me?" Tianmeng asked.
Ye Nanxiao shifted his posture, appearing somewhat languid, but his eyes remained fixed on the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. "Big worm, I know you won't hurt Yuhao, but I hope you can think things through before you act. Do you understand what I mean?"
Don't push your child too hard! They need proper guidance!
Ye Nanxiao was hoping to find a powerful backer in the future so he wouldn't have to work so hard, so Huo Yuhao's safety had to be guaranteed.
The atmosphere became somewhat serious. Tianmeng's face was a little gloomy, but Ye Nanxiao was not in a hurry and just stared at him.
"I will," Tianmeng nodded.
Ye Nanxiao smiled and said, "Don't be so serious. We'll have plenty of opportunities to work together in the future, Big Bug."
Who got serious first! Tianmeng forced a smile. "You convinced Xue Di? How did you do that?"
Ye Nanxiao shook his finger and said, "It wasn't me who convinced them, it was fate. Do you understand fate?"
Ye Nanxiao thought for a moment and said, "I'm a little special, and I'm also very handsome."
Seeing that Ye Nanxiao was unwilling to speak, Tian Meng nodded and retreated back into his spiritual sea.
Ye Nanxiao glanced at Electrolux, his figure gradually dissipated, and he withdrew from Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.
"I will definitely become an unparalleled expert, definitely!" With this thought in mind, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but start pondering those few Tang Sect secret techniques as he walked.
Tang Ya and Bei Bei's introduction to Shrek Academy had completely ignited the flame in his heart.
Looking at Huo Yuhao's appearance, Tang Ya and Bei Bei couldn't help but smile at each other. When they first entered Shrek Academy, weren't they just like Huo Yuhao now?
"Junior brother, you've just arrived just in time for the academy's new student recruitment, so you'll be joining this year's freshmen. You're three years below me and Xiaoya. If you were a regular freshman, you'd not only have to pass an exam, but you'd also need a recommendation letter from at least the main city level of one of the three great empires. This time of year is always the busiest time in Shrek City," Beibei said.
"Was the assessment difficult?" Huo Yuhao asked.
Beibei glanced at Tang Ya, and was about to speak when she saw two people walking towards her from the opposite direction.
"It's not difficult for you." Ye Nanxiao appeared, leading Jiang Nannan by the hand.
"A busy man suddenly remembered he has a younger brother?" Tang Ya rolled her eyes at Ye Nanxiao.
Jiang Nannan blushed slightly and greeted Huo Yuhao warmly, "Hello, you must be Huo Yuhao. My name is Jiang Nannan, and I'm yours."
Jiang Nannan glanced at Ye Nanxiao subconsciously, and the latter smiled and added, "She's your sister-in-law."
Huo Yuhao looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and said respectfully, "Hello, sister-in-law."
This prompted Jiang Nannan to bury her face in Ye Nanxiao's arms.
Ye Nanxiao freed one hand and ruffled Huo Yuhao's hair. "Alright, why are you being so reserved?"
Seeing the tenderness in Ye Nanxiao's eyes, Huo Yuhao felt a warmth in his heart and nodded.
"There are two requirements for getting into Shrek Academy's outer academy. The first is that you must be no older than twelve, and the second is that your soul power must be at least level fifteen." Ye Nanxiao paused for a moment, "It's okay, you can get in."
Huo Yuhao was somewhat dejected. He had only recently encountered the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and obtained his first soul ring. He was only level twelve at the moment.
Seeing Huo Yuhao's expression, Ye Nanxiao comforted him, "Alright, Yuhao, I'll come find you tonight. I only have level four soul power."
"You have a plan? There are only two days left until the end of the assessment?" Tang Ya asked doubtfully. "Let's use the Tang Clan's quota."
"The immortals have their own ingenious plans," Ye Nanxiao said mysteriously.
Under Ye Nanxiao's arrangement, Huo Yuhao first stayed at a hotel in Shrek City. After having a big meal, he got along much better with everyone, especially Jiang Nannan. After hearing about Huo Yuhao's experiences and knowing that he was Ye Nanxiao's younger brother, Jiang Nannan was very concerned about him.
With the assessment approaching, Ye Nanxiao booked a room for Huo Yuhao at a nearby hotel.
"Brother, do you have any ideas?" Huo Yuhao asked, sitting on the bed, seemingly a little uncomfortable, since he had been sleeping on wooden boards before.
Ye Nanxiao affectionately patted Huo Yuhao's head, "Oh my, the feel of it, the sensation!"
He took out a Mystic Water Pill and a Soul Ascension Pill, which Xu Sanshi had "kindly sponsored," from his storage ring. "Eat the Mystic Water Pill first, then the Soul Ascension Pill, and then cultivate. I will protect you."
Huo Yuhao trusted Ye Nanxiao completely. After taking two pills, Huo Yuhao found that his cultivation speed was six times faster than before.
After a night of cultivation, with Ye Nanxiao's protection, Huo Yuhao's cultivation went very smoothly. Ye Nanxiao also secretly used his soul power to help Huo Yuhao clear his blocked meridians.
While Huo Yuhao was cultivating, Ye Nanxiao sneaked into Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.
The moment Ye Nanxiao entered Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, Tianmeng appeared.
Even as a million-year-old soul beast, Tianmeng was wary of Ye Nanxiao, having witnessed countless absurd events in its million-year life.
"Big bug, relax the seal for a bit, I'll protect Yuhao right here," Ye Nanxiao said to Tianmeng.
After learning that Ye Nanxiao was a pioneer of her ideas, Tianmeng lowered her guard somewhat.
"Alright." Tianmeng was still wary of Ye Nanxiao and didn't say much to him. She gently activated the seal she had left in Huo Yuhao's body, letting a wisp of the vast soul power within the seal flow out.
Ye Nanxiao's spiritual power enveloped the outflowing soul power, slowly assisting Huo Yuhao in merging it into his body.
"It's better to let Yuhao cultivate and digest my soul power on his own in the future," Tianmeng said.
"Yes, you're right. You can come to me if you need anything in the future. After all, I'm still Yuhao's brother." Ye Nanxiao didn't care about the hidden meaning in Tianmeng's words at all.
Huo Yuhao, having fused with the immense cultivation of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and aided by elixirs, broke through the level 15 limit in just one night, reaching level 15 soul power.
Huo Yuhao jumped up in surprise and was about to hug Ye Nanxiao, but Ye Nanxiao, looking disgusted, kicked Huo Yuhao into the bathroom and scolded, "Go wash up."
Huo Yuhao then noticed a layer of grayish-black grime on his body. He rushed into the bathroom, a happy smile spreading across his face. "Thanks, bro."
