Chapter 19 Soul Ascension Pill.
Early morning!
Wu Xuan was still asleep when there was a loud knocking on the door of room 305.
Wu Xuan responded, quickly dressed and washed his face, leaving Qian Guming behind as he went out.
The two walked down the dormitory corridor. Wu Xuan looked at Huo Yuhao and spoke first, "Yuhao! Did you secretly intervene in Bei Bei's Soul Battle yesterday?"
Huo Yuhao was taken aback at first, then looked at Wu Xuan in disbelief, his gaze seemingly asking how Wu Xuan knew.
"Want to ask me how I knew?" Wu Xuan chuckled and shook his head.
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but nod.
"I naturally have my own methods. You just need to know that I discovered it at the time," Wu Xuan said calmly. He didn't expect Huo Yuhao to answer his questions.
Seeing Wu Xuan's certainty, Huo Yuhao lowered his head in shame. Being caught cheating was indeed quite embarrassing.
"It was Xiao Ya's idea, Brother Wu Xuan! I won't do it again," Huo Yuhao promised.
"So it's her. I see. Let's go get breakfast!" Wu Xuan narrowed his eyes, his contempt for the Tang Clan growing even stronger.
The Tang Clan was indeed the same old Tang Clan; those who came from that sect loved to do these petty, underhanded things.
The two went downstairs and found Wang Dong waiting there. After exchanging greetings, the three headed towards the cafeteria. However, Wu Xuan intentionally or unintentionally avoided Wang Dong along the way. In his past life! Wu Xuan had only skimmed through this book in college. Why hadn't he finished it? It was all because of his roommate. Hearing that
Wu Xuan was reading the book, he came over specifically to tell him how disgusting Tang San was later on. Tang San's outrageous actions instantly killed Wu Xuan's desire to continue reading, and he skipped through the book.
Now he deeply regretted it.
To express his remorse, Huo Yuhao treated him to breakfast today. Wu Xuan didn't dare order anything too expensive, and by the time he finished eating, there weren't many students in the cafeteria.
"Let's go for a walk around Poseidon Lake! We haven't been there yet since school started!" Wang Dong suddenly suggested.
"Great idea! Brother Wu Xuan, are you coming?" Huo Yuhao asked.
"Let's go take a look! I haven't really appreciated the scenery of the academy since I came here." Wu Xuan smiled.
The three of them left the cafeteria, bypassed the freshman teaching building, and walked east along the south side of Shrek Square. Soon they arrived at the lakeside path.
Passing through the woods beside the path, the shimmering Poseidon Lake came into view.
A gentle mist mixed with fresh air wafted towards them. Although Poseidon Lake was only an artificial lake, the water was extremely clear. The azure blue water was pure, deep, and gentle. On the blue brocade-like surface of the lake, a layer of ripples rose and fell, like the bright eyes of a young girl, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds and the shady green trees along the lake.
"So beautiful!" Wang Dong couldn't help but take a deep breath and stretch his body.
Wu Xuan was also very relaxed, his eyes slightly closed, feeling the gentle breeze carrying the misty water vapor, feeling refreshed and invigorated. Since arriving at Shrek Academy, he no longer needed to be constantly on edge like he had been in the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Huh? What's that?" Just as Huo Yuhao was pondering this, he suddenly seemed to see a red dot appear in the mist in his vision.
"What's wrong?" Wu Xuan asked doubtfully.
Huo Yuhao pointed in the direction he saw, "Look, there seems to be a red dot over there."
Wang Dong looked in the direction Huo Yuhao was pointing, but only saw a patch of mist. "Where? You must be mistaken!"
Wang Dong had just questioned Huo Yuhao when his eyes widened. He saw it too! It wasn't a red dot; it was clearly a red figure, racing across the water at an astonishing speed, and judging by its appearance, it was rushing towards them.
"Such intense heat! That person must be at least a Soul Emperor!" Wu Xuan commented, stroking his chin.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Soul Emperor? Could he be a senior from the Inner Academy?"
"Maybe! Even if he's not a senior from the Inner Academy, he could be a teacher." Wu Xuan replied.
"That teacher is really strong! He can run on the lake without even releasing his Martial Soul." Wang Dong said excitedly.
"Brother Xuan! Wang Dong! Something feels off!" The red figure was coming too fast. In the short time they were talking, it had already approached within a hundred meters of the shore.
A terrifying heatwave swept over them instantly, and all three of them showed expressions of horror.
"Damn! Could it be that he's gone mad from cultivating?!" Wu Xuan exclaimed.
"It's so hot! Run!" Wang Dong shouted.
"Run for what? First Soul Skill, Gathering Spirit Wind!"
A cool breeze whistled from Wu Xuan's body, seemingly soothing everything in its wake.
The breeze made Huo Yuhao and the other feel refreshed and indescribably cool. The red figure near the three was also blown into the lake by this breeze.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, just awakened, was dealt with by Wu Xuan before it could even make a move, so it breathed a sigh of relief and went back to sleep.
"What a powerful soul skill!" Wang Dong exclaimed in surprise.
"It's just an auxiliary soul skill to remove negative mental states, nothing special," Wu Xuan said calmly.
Wu Xuan's first soul ring came from a peculiar soul beast called Wind Spirit. There was something Wu Xuan didn't mention: the Gathering Spirit Wind could provide at least two or three people with a 10% amplification of their elemental origin.
Of course, there were limitations on the amplified elemental attributes; it could only amplify elements that reacted with wind, such as wind, water, fire, ice, and lightning.
"Are you alright?" An old man dressed in white appeared before the three as if he had traveled through space.
"It's nothing, nothing! Just a little fright." Wu Xuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Huo Yuhao and the other man nodded quickly as well.
"Xiao Tao is here." With a splash, a man in white pulled the woman in red who had fallen into Sea God Lake from the water. The woman in red was soaking wet, revealing a graceful figure; she was clearly a woman.
The old man in white came to her side, placing his right hand on her shoulder. A dense white soul force could be seen surging into the woman in red's body at an astonishing speed.
"Strange!" The old man in white frowned, seemingly puzzled by something.
He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, nothing serious happened. It seems Xiao Tao has retained some of her sanity. Also, you three little ones had better forget everything you saw. If you spread it, you'll be expelled. Consider this compensation; I believe you're all smart enough to accept it."
As he spoke, he tossed each of the three men a green box.
"Go to class. Remember, forget everything you saw before."
With that, the white-robed elder picked up the red-robed woman and several other white-robed figures and disappeared.
"Huo Yuhao, what do you think happened?" Wang Dong asked in a low voice.
Huo Yuhao shook his head, "I don't know either."
"It must be an inner court student who made a mistake in their cultivation and lost control. But the academy has already paid hush money, so forget about it!" Wu Xuan said calmly.
"Let me see what kind of hush money they gave us!" Wang Dong lowered his head and opened the box, immediately stunned for a moment, then his face was filled with joy.
"Wow, I'm rich! It's actually a Soul Ascension Pill." Wang Dong exclaimed in surprise.
Huo Yuhao looked at the green ball in his hand with suspicion. It was a green pill the size of a walnut, emitting a faint fragrance.
The surface was emerald green, and there seemed to be a faint halo flowing inside, crystal clear, full of the breath of life.
"What is a Soul Ascension Pill? Is it the same kind of pill as the Profound Water Pill?" Huo Yuhao asked.
Wang Dong said, "Yes! And they're all pills of the same level. Relatively speaking, the Profound Water Pill is more precious because it has the effect of cleansing the marrow and tendons. But for Soul Masters whose cultivation has exceeded level 30 and whose forms are already fixed, the Soul Ascension Pill is better than the Profound Water Pill."
"So the Soul Ascension Pill is more useful to me," Wu Xuan smiled.
Wang Dong nodded and said, "That's right, but it's better to take it later. The Soul Ascension Pill mainly enhances Soul Power. It's made from several rare and precious herbs as a medicinal guide. Each Soul Master can only take one pill in their lifetime, instantly increasing their Soul Power by one level. This is a rare and precious thing! But if you take too many, it will affect your future cultivation potential."
"Hmm! It is indeed a good thing." Wu Xuan put away the Soul Ascension Pill and smiled.
In a secret room on the island in the center of Seagod Lake at Shrek Academy, a person gradually woke up from unconsciousness.
Gradually, she opened her eyes. Her eyes were a pale pink, the original bloodshot color gone, and there was a slight hint of confusion in them. "Strange, why isn't it hot anymore?" She suddenly sat up, subconsciously looking down at herself. Her clothes, which had been soaking wet, were now completely dry.
"You're awake." An aged voice sounded, followed by a long sigh. "Xiao Tao, you almost made a terrible mistake this time! Do you remember what you encountered after escaping Sea God Lake?"
Hearing his question, the red-clad woman called Xiao Tao shook her head blankly. "I only remember there was a gust of wind, and then I returned here, to where I am now."
"A wind? That was probably a coincidence! Xiao Tao, from now on, you should suspend your cultivation. Even though you are Shrek Academy's number one genius in hundreds of years, we cannot ruin you for the sake of the academy. If the evil fire destroys your mind again, your teacher will regret it for the rest of his life."
"Teacher," Ma Xiao Tao nodded, though reluctantly.
