The Soul Land 2

Chapter 25

After hearing Bei Bei's introduction with Teacher Zhou, Huo Yuhao was also astonished. “The oldest male sister, if this teacher does these kinds of things, why doesn't the school care?”

Bei Bei spoke in a low voice, “Although Teacher Zhou Yi is a strict teacher, he is honestly a very good one. Of all the students who were promoted from his class, none of them actually said that he was a bad teacher. Teacher Zhou's tenacity was especially reflected in the high requirements he set for his students, as well as in his harsh teaching methods. However, nearly a quarter of the students that Master Zhou had taught, and graduated, had entered the inner courtyard. This statistic is one of the best in the entire academy. Teacher Zhou was only relegated to teaching the freshmen because the commotion was too big at the moment. However, as long as you work hard enough, and stand out enough, Master Zhou's teaching will only benefit you. ”

Huo Yuhao relaxed and replied, “So like that. Teacher Xiao Ya, the eldest elder brother, you guys should have plenty of other things to do. I'll go back to my room first. ”

Bei Bei smiled and said, “It's okay, Teacher Xiao Ya and I want to go and take our promotional exam. If we can pass this test, we will be promoted to the fourth year. I'm staying in Room 316, so you can go there if you need anything. ”

Bei Bei and Tang Ya were really busy. The reason why Tang Ya was so in a hurry to obtain her third soul ring was so that she could smoothly pass the fourth year promotion test. Furthermore, there would be even more problems waiting for them after they were promoted. Huo Yuhao went to the Great Star Dou Forest alone, and had obtained his soul ring there, so his self-protection ability was quite strong. Thus, they were not too worried about him.

After passing through the white school building for the first year, and the yellow school building for second and third year students, Huo Yuhao looked at the dormitory. The hostel occupies a very large area, and even though it is only a single building, the same four colors — white, yellow, purple, and black — are still there. The building colors clearly represent the different living rooms of the students of each year, and have a total of six floors.

Huo Yuhao arrived at the entrance of the white building, and met a man who looked quite old. The old man was wearing a set of gray clothes, and the number of flies that could be crushed his wrinkles to death had reached double digits. His eyes were yellow and cold-headed, while his eyelids were moody. It looked as if he had one foot in the grave. The sunlight between the buildings spilled perfectly all over his body. His body, which was half lying on a chair, actually gave off a very comfortable feeling.

Huo Yuhao walked forward and spoke respectfully, “Halo, Grandfather. I'm a new student who came to live in the dorm. Do you want to check my new student badge? ”

The old man did not even raise his head as he extended his trembling right hand. Then, a rather deep yet hoarse voice echoed, “Take out your badge and hostel keys for me see.”

Huo Yuhao hurriedly handed the two items over.

The old man waved before his eyes before returning it to Huo Yuhao. “Continue. Room 108 was the third room from my left on the first floor. The female dormitory starts from the fourth floor, so you can't go upstairs at all. If we find you there, you will be expelled. ”

“Thank you.” After bowing and greeting the old man again, Huo Yuhao walked into the dorm building.

The old man did not move from his original position as he muttered nostalgia to himself, “Rarely seeing a child with manners.”

As he muttered to himself, a few new students walked through the area. However, they clearly did not notice the old man next to the building, and went straight inside. The old man did not stop them either. He just sat there sleepily.

After following the old man's instructions, Huo Yuhao quickly found his dorm room. The hostel has a standard hallway layout, with both sides of the long hallway having dorm rooms with numbers engraved on their doors. The passage of time was clearly visible in the dorm room, and it could be seen that they had been used for a very long time. Both ends of the corridor share a bathroom.

By relying on the window vents, Huo Yuhao could clearly see the layout of the dorm room. The dormitory room was very small, its area was only about ten square meters. Two beds take up most of the floor space of the room, but there are also tables, two metal cabinets, as well as lights on the ceiling. There were also several metal protrusions on one of the walls. Bei Bei tells him that the lamp is a basic soul tool that requires soul power to light up. The metal bulge was a place that one could pour into soulforce.

After some ventilation, the musty air inside the dorm room was finally cleared. As Huo Yuhao looked around the small room, an elation that was hard to describe appeared in his heart. From today onwards, this would be the dorm room where he stayed for a year. From the looks of it, he even had a roommate. I'll clean up a little first.

The phrase ‘poor children can manage home early in life’ is true. Although he was born in the Duke’s Mansion, Huo Yuhao's life was not even as good as that of commoners. He used a little bit of his money to buy a basin from a student store located outside the dormitory, and after requesting a used cleaning cloth from the store, he immediately started cleaning the dorm room.

After only an hour had passed, even a speck of dust was not left under the careful scrutiny of Huo Yuhao's Eye. Although everything in the dorm room was still in place, there was now some sort of fresh scent to it. Huo Yuhao did not plan on buying a bed for himself, because a wooden bed was enough for a person like him, who devoted all his hard work to farming.

He felt a bit hungry, so he asked about the location of the dining room. After purchasing the cheapest lunch box from the student store, he went to the dining room.

Each year the group has their own dining room, which is located behind the dormitory. When Huo Yuhao walked into the freshman dining room, he was astonished. At that moment, there were not many people in the dining room, making it seem very spacious. There was not even a single table; it was an entirely empty place. There is only a sink that is used to wash hands and cutlery. The inside of the dining room has a window where one can buy food, with a price tag outside of it. There are a total of eight windows that increase the price from right to left, and all serve different dishes.

Is there really no seating area in the dining room? The dining room entrance even has the words ‘No food is allowed to be taken from the dining room. No exceptions.’ written on it.

After a moment of amazement, Huo Yuhao walked to the right-most window to buy the cheapest food available, namely sauteed vegetables and white rice. However, he still devoured the food despite its quality. For him, having something to eat was already very good. Moreover, the price of food was very cheap; it was only two copper coins. With a monthly income of one gold coin, he could eat all month as long as he skimmed with his money.

While eating, Huo Yuhao observed the dining room. He discovered that the most expensive window food was actually valued in gold spirit coins. It was something he did not even dare to imagine.

After quickly finishing his meal, Huo Yuhao returned straight to his dorm. As the saying goes, awkward birds need to fly into the forest early. He understood the difference between himself and the other students, so he naturally could not waste any time.

After sitting in a cross-legged position on the sturdy wooden bed, Huo Yuhao quickly entered a meditative state, and started cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Technique.

Although his cultivation speed was much slower than Bei Bei or Tang Ya, he had already improved a little compared to the past. After converting his cultivation technique into a Mysterious Heaven Technique, he could now at least feel a slight improvement in his cultivation as he cultivated, which was much better than his previous condition. Moreover, after the few days of cultivation he had undertaken during their return journey, his originally chaotic and impure soul force had already completely turned into a Heaven Mysterious Technique. There was one effect of the Heavenly Mysterious Technique soul power that was very useful to him — Mysterious Heavenly Techniques would nourish the passageways as he circulated them. Although he could not see much improvement at the moment, Bei Bei had told him that it would definitely improve his physique in the long run.
