Chapter 96 Dai Yueheng's "Goodwill"
There's not much to say about the cooperation and sparring between the regular team and the substitute team. Although he hid the ultimate ice, although he wasn't as familiar with Ma Xiaotao as in the original work, and although his hatred for Dai Yueheng's brother was deeper.
But this was ultimately just a friendly exchange, more about getting to know each other's abilities.
After that, it was time to go and suppress bandits... oh no, to be sent to our deaths.
When the inner court students led the outer court disciples on their journey, Dai Yueheng and Ma Xiaotao, who had the highest cultivation levels, should naturally take charge of Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao, who had lower cultivation levels.
Because of the conflict between Huo Yuhao and Dai Huabin, it was naturally Ma Xiaotao who came to take Huo Yuhao away. But seeing Ma Xiaotao walking towards Huo Yuhao, someone got anxious.
"I want Senior Ma to mentor me," Wang Dong suddenly said, then rushed to Ma Xiaotao's side with an admiring smile. "Senior Ma, I admire you the most. Will you mentor me?"
In the end, Ma Xiaotao took Wang Dong with her, Xiao Xiao went with Ling Luochen who was originally supposed to take Wang Dong, and Huo Yuhao ended up in the hands of his enemy's older brother.
"Yuhao, I heard you and my brother had a falling out?" Dai Yueheng said to Huo Yuhao, who was being carried, as he ran at full speed.
"Hmm." Huo Yuhao was a little unsure about Dai Yueheng's attitude, but since things had come to this point, he could only admit it and see how Dai Yueheng reacted first.
Dai Yueheng said sincerely, "Although I don't know how you two fell out, I think Hua Bin was in the wrong, and he shouldn't have done such a thing under any circumstances."
"As Hua Bin's elder brother, I apologize to you on his behalf. Hua Bin was exceptionally gifted from a young age, which fostered an arrogant personality. I have already reprimanded him, and he has paid the price he deserved..."
"Let bygones be bygones. We're all training at Shrek Academy, and now that you're a member of the inspection team, we're brothers, comrades-in-arms. Don't hold any grudges. If you need any help, just say the word. I'll help Hua Bin repay what he owes you later."
"Senior, I was also wrong. I was too aggressive, and that's why... Well, you're right, let bygones be bygones," Huo Yuhao said sincerely.
Is Dai Yueheng trying to win me over? But I didn't reveal the existence of the Ultimate Ice, yet Dai Yueheng is still trying to win me over just like in the original story... What aspects did I fail to consider?
Dai Yueheng smiled slightly and said, "That's for the best. After you get to know me better, you'll see what kind of person I am."
Huo Yuhao's acting skills were not good; the forced and perfunctory expression was completely undisguised. However, since Huo Yuhao, a mere young man, could say such things, it would be much easier to win him over later.
In Dai Yueheng's view, Huo Yuhao posed no threat to him at all. Even if a spirit attribute soul master without offensive soul skills grew up, what could he do to him?
On the contrary, Huo Yuhao's talent is very useful. It is easy to dodge a spear in the open but hard to guard against a hidden arrow. Huo Yuhao's talent allows Dai Huabin to see through all the hidden arrows in the battle, which is like adding wings to a tiger.
Compared to that, what is the conflict between his stupid younger brother and Huo Yuhao?
They traveled at a brisk pace until noon before stopping to rest. The inner court students all looked normal, except for their slightly rapid breathing.
On the other hand, Bei Bei and the other three fourth-ring Soul Masters were traveling on their own and were already drenched in sweat.
"Huo Yuhao, show us what you've got." Ma Xiaotao put Wang Dong down and said to Huo Yuhao.
"You mean food?" Huo Yuhao looked at Ma Xiaotao with some doubt. "Barbecuing is too slow now. I have some cold dishes prepared here, and they taste just as good."
"Cold dishes?" Wang Dong was quite interested in the food Huo Yuhao mentioned. "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and bring them out!"
As he spoke, Huo Yuhao took out ten large bowls of dishes from his soul tool, five meat dishes and five vegetable dishes, including braised pork, cold-dressed Crimson Flame Pig Ears, and cold dishes such as candied tomatoes.
The effect was obvious. Less than three seconds after taking it out of the soul tool, Wang Dong, with a hand speed that even Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eye Martial Soul couldn't see, quickly scooped a large amount of each dish into his rice bowl before walking aside with satisfaction, giving his seat to the other students who had come to smell the aroma.
As a chef, Huo Yuhao naturally had some leftovers, so he left the ten dishes behind and ran off to eat with Wang Dong.
"Master Xuan! How could you do this? You've taken two-thirds of this bowl of chicken legs by yourself!"
Just as Ma Xiaotao was about to pick up a chicken leg, before her chopsticks even hit the ground, the chicken leg in the bowl was gone in an instant.
Of all those present, only Elder Xuan was able to do this before she could.
"This cooking method is quite unique... but I must say, it's surprisingly delicious."
Beibei tore off a large piece of chicken leg meat in one bite. The spicy and salty chicken leg meat gave him the most direct stimulation. Although the chicken itself was not as good as the high-end chicken he ate at the academy, it still greatly stimulated his appetite.
Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan nodded in agreement, a rare occurrence.
Having grown accustomed to bland flavors, they were surprisingly able to adapt to this new taste.
"Huh? Huo Yuhao, there's no fire here, where did you get this hot food?"
Wang Dong, who was enjoying his chicken leg, suddenly smelled a faint aroma of rice. He turned his head and saw Huo Yuhao's bowl of steaming rice.
"A soul tool," Huo Yuhao said matter-of-factly.
"Soul tools can be used like this?" Wang Dong asked curiously.
"Nonsense, fire-attribute soul skills are used to start fires and cook, so why can't fire-attribute soul guidance arrays be used? In the end, soul guidance devices are just tools, and I don't understand why you guys are so resistant to a tool."
With the Bleach storyline fast approaching, Huo Yuhao, determined to save as many people as possible, began to vigorously promote soul tools.
"What distinguishes humans from spirit beasts is that humans are better at using tools..."
"Alright, alright, you've said that countless times." Wang Dong pouted. Huo Yuhao seemed to have a special fondness for soul tools, even though they were just external forces and not even as useful as his own hammer.
"Tch, if you're so capable, then don't use storage soul tools and flying soul tools. They're all tools, so why are you treating them differently? Let me tell you, this is blatant discrimination."
"I can't argue with you anymore, can I?" Wang Dong stuck out his tongue slightly.
Looking at the others, Huo Yuhao noticed that everyone had almost finished eating, so he started cleaning up the mess and prepared to leave.
The next stop is the western border of the Star Luo Empire.
Gazing at the endless mountain range at the horizon, Huo Yuhao's mood inexplicably somber.
Seemingly sensing that it was about to meet the White Tiger Duke, this body also reacted abnormally.
Humans really are creatures governed by hormones...
Huo Yuhao curled his lip impatiently.
